The Sounds of War (The Genesis Series Book 2)

by Sue Watkins

  “There is no doubt in my mind El Elyon will prevail. Oh, wars will come again, and perversion will return. Deception will enter the hearts of men, and many will be led captive by the powers of their captors. The fallen ones will once again manipulate and deceive men, but righteousness shall eventually reign.”

  Several days passed and then the day came when Enmerkar took leave of his great-grandfather Noah. After his parting farewells, he rode Raham to the southeast. With Enmerkar went the garments, which had remained hidden in his saddlebags. Never again, would he see his great-grandfather, and while he received Noah’s understanding of the heavens, Enmerkar never allowed its message within his heart.

  Behold, I am toward God and before Him even as you are; I also am formed out of the clay [though I speak with abnormal wisdom because of a divine illumination]. Job 33:6, AMP

  My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes did see my substance, yet being imperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them. How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee. Psalm 139:15-18, KJV

  Holding his cell phone between his cheek and right shoulder, Emmett was doing his best to converse while packing the Jeep. “Yes, sir, Leighann and I will be leaving for Navasota, shortly. We’re only going to be gone a week, but I swear Leighann has enough stuff here for a month,” pausing he rechecked the cargo area making certain all boxes and suitcases were snug and couldn’t shift during the drive and he then continued, “it’s amazing how much I’ve crammed into this Jeep, when will you and Mom be joining us?”

  “We’ll drive up early in the morning, Marla has something or another she wants to attend this evening, but I’ll do my best to head her out early enough to make Navasota mid-morning. We should be there about the time you all are ready to leave for Austin.” Clearing his throat, Ray asked, “Did Justin arrive okay?”

  “Yes, he did. I just got a text a few moments ago from Kirsten. They just left the airport and are on their way to Navasota as we speak.” Emmett, satisfied everything was properly stowed, reached for his cell with his left hand and shut the hatch on the Jeep with his right, “Kirsten offered to swing by here, but I said no, to go on home, we shouldn’t be too far behind them.”

  “I really like that young man. I hope something develops between the two of them. Whenever I think of how the Lord miraculously healed him last year, it always amazes me. What an astonishing God we serve, and you know, I can’t help believe there’s something special ahead for Justin,” Ray grinned as he recalled the events of last fall. “The revelation of justice he got...was remarkable!”

  “Yes, I agree; Justin’s definitely a keeper.” Opening the back passenger door of his Jeep, Emmett began checking the sacks of groceries deposited by Leighann to make sure they were properly secured. “I called because you need to know, I’m fascinated by your manuscript. Particularly by the DNA information. Your speculation about junk DNA is startling. We absolutely have to make some time this week to talk.”

  Chuckling, Ray concurred, “Well be warned, since I started researching this, it’s all I want to talk about. But since you brought the subject up, I just finished reading about mutations in DNA. I’ll bring the article, I’m sure it’s here somewhere on my desk. It’s all about mutation switches that control body-shaping genes. Science has found what they refer to as non-coding DNA, which actually is junk DNA. Some of the scientists working on this project speculate that perhaps the junk DNA gives credence to the theory of extra-terrestrial interference of the human genome. Anyway, the writer of the article concludes higher organisms are muddled with these mysterious elements. Science is beginning to understand the effect so called junk DNA has on complex organisms. This stuff is so fascinating, so I’ll look forward to bouncing the subject around with you and the kids. Especially in light of all of the Nephilim theories they have.” Ray smiled, “Elijah will be blown away. The article speculates upon the manipulation of human, animal, and plant-life DNA in the past. As believers, we know the fallen angels performed crossbreeding. The article doesn’t speak of the specifics as it relates to the past; the writer does give insights as to how science is experimenting along these lines now. The article actually gives credence to our supposition we have returned to Noah’s day, as Jesus warned.”

  The bridge between Emmett’s eyes narrowed as he thought on Ray’s words. “Yeah, bring the article, please.”

  “I will,” Ray replied. “You know many in the media and in the public are innocently under the impression trans-humanism experiments are conducted to improve our existence and eliminate pain and suffering, but embedded in trans-humanism are problematic situations that have the potential of serious ethical conflicts. These experiments could lead the scientific community into deep deceptions of gigantic proportions. The effect of these scientific advances will affect the political, economic, social, and religious systems. I see a great deception in the making, I don’t mean to be a prophet of gloom and doom, but I really think we’re being set up for some major problems.”

  “I hear you, Pops,” Emmett took a deep breath and released it. “It’s the gross darkness that Isaiah 60:2 speaks of but, thank God, he gave us the preceding verse first.”

  “Yeah, I see the fingerprints of darkness in much of what I have uncovered about DNA research. And now that we have the source codes, and DNA can be altered or rewritten…well this article says it is not only possible, but that it will happen. It is all a matter of time.”

  Indeed, [at His thundering] my heart also trembles and leaps out of its place. Hear, oh, hear the roar of His voice and the sound of rumbling that goes out of His mouth. Under the whole heaven, He lets it loose, and His lightning to the ends of the earth. After it His voice roars; He thunders with the voice of His majesty, and He restrains not [His lightings against His adversaries] when His voice is heard. God thunders marvelously with His voice; He does great things that we cannot comprehend. Job 37:1-5, AMP

  His inspiration being the vision of the night before, Joshua began exploring the mechanics of sound on the sub-atomic level. Submerged under a mountain of data that covered every possible square inch of his workspace, he was absentmindedly drumming his fingers to the beat of the music blaring through his ear buds and neither saw nor heard Caleb when he entered the lab.

  Caleb’s intentions weren’t to startle, just the opposite, the light rap on the desktop was meant merely to give notice of his presence. Consequentially, he too was shocked when Joshua jumped with such force it resulted in sending the stool he sat on and a number of books crashing to the floor.

  “Dear Lord, Caleb! Are you trying to give me a heart attack?” Joshua struggled to regain his composure and at the same time keep his laptop from crashing to the floor. He did not realize he was shouting. Steadying first the laptop, and then righting the lopsided stool he demanded, “What in the world are you thinking?”

  “Sorry,” stifling a laugh, Caleb drew his lips tightly across his teeth and pulled at Joshua’s ear-buds. “If you wouldn’t turn the sound up so loud you could probably hear something.” Then teasing, he whispered very softly, “And besides that, you probably wouldn’t be going deaf.”

  Sucking in his breath, Joshua yanked his ear-buds from Caleb’s hand and responded with a sarcastic tirade. “By all means, make your jokes while I look for my myogenic muscular organ. I’m sure it’s on the floor somewhere.”

  “Surprise-surprise, I know what that is.” Caleb still scoffing bent at the waist and casually picked up one of the scattered books off the floor. “It’s your heart, so there!” Raising an eyebrow Caleb suddenly became serious, “I really didn’t mean to make you jump. I came in here to ask what you are doing about my request.”

  “Actually
, I’m sort of working on what you asked me for.”

  “Really, what have you discovered?”

  “Are you feeling brainy?”

  Caleb arched an eyebrow and sardonically replied, “Always; it’s natural.”

  Using his foot, Joshua pushed the stool toward Caleb, and mockingly retorted, “Well, la-te-da, then sit down because this will take all of your brain power.”

  Tucking the toes of his shoes around the legs of the stool, Caleb lifted a hand and motioned, “Bring it on.”

  “Okay, be sure to stop me if you fail to follow any of my points.” Joshua put both hands in the pockets of his lab coat and began to pace. “The quantum world is made of things that we can’t see, such as sound and light. We live in a biosphere that has a perfect atmosphere for sound and light.” Josh, not one to talk without hand movements, first took one hand and then the other from his pockets and began using them visually transferring his thoughts. The more intense the message, the more animated he became. “God gave us bodies that are capable of producing sound so we communicate. But for you to hear what I’m saying it requires you have the capability to hear, just as it requires that I have the ability to produce sound. I’ve the necessary equipment to speak; you’ve the necessary equipment to hear, with me?”

  Caleb smirked, “Got it.”

  “However we also must have a cooperative medium; the sound I produce must travel from me to you. The mixture of gaseous molecules between us is that medium that promotes or enables, so we accomplish our task of projecting and hearing sound. Sound actually travels faster through liquids than gases. However...” Pausing, Joshua looked at his brother and asked, “You following so far?”

  “Yes, yes, please go on.” Rolling his hazel eyes, Caleb shook his head and ardently stated, “Please don’t worry about me. I can keep up.”

  “Yeah, but I can talk faster than you hear.” Ducking as Caleb pretend to throw a book, Joshua continued to provoke, “Some of us have greater capabilities than others.”

  Caleb put the book back on the worktable and motioned for Josh to continue, “Would you just get on with it?”

  “Hey, I’m just trying to help you out.” Josh throwing his hands in the air as a mock surrender, scoffed, “Just wanted to make sure you’re okay, but, hey if you fall between the cracks, please let me know.”

  “Joshua! Enough!”

  Chortling, Joshua turned his back and continued, “Okay, I trust you will let me know if I move too fast...” Joshua paused, glanced over his shoulder and seeing the irritation decided it best to proceed with his lecture. “Atoms cling together and make the gases on which sound waves travel. Oh, I forgot to tell you that sound travels in waves, didn’t I? Well, it does, and also there are very few places in our universe where sound doesn’t exist, bet you didn’t know that, huh?” This time Josh didn’t allow for a response but continued to explain, “Everything known to man creates a sound. Even our DNA vibrates. We measure the intensity of sound with decibels; high decibel readings indicate sound is very intense. This is simply a way of measuring the level of atmospheric disturbance. The higher the decibel the greater the disturbance; the more violent the propulsion of the molecules, the higher the decibel.

  “The human ear is geared to receive sound in frequencies we call hertz, and again using the simplest explanation, hertz is merely a measurement of the range of vibration. Sounds vibrate at different frequencies and the higher the frequency of vibration, the higher the pitch. In the music scale, there are seven major keys. Just as we have seven primary colors, and oh, speaking of color, color is actually just the distribution of light. To understand light, you must examine both the cause and the effect, as we do with sound. They both must have a source, an origin, and respondent action.

  “The bottom line of what I just said is this; the ear and the eye were designed by God to receive the waves on which sound and light travel. They are equipped to decode and interpret the meanings of these communications for intelligent reaction. If the ear didn’t exist, there would be no need for vocal chords. Now moving on with this, scientists have discovered that sound impacts matter and can actually reconfigure matter.”

  “Stop!”

  “What don’t you get?”

  “No, I got it. But that’s an extremely powerful statement. Sound can reconfigure matter?”

  “Yes, it’s called Cymatics. Cymatics studies the phenomena of sound waves, which create patterns in various materials, such as water, sand, salt, etc. Sound waves can also cause liquids to protrude upward. Sounds can shatter glass and cause metals to vibrate. To put this more simply, thunder shakes the windows, or maybe I should say my motorcycle can vibrate your car windows.”

  Caleb held up a hand, “Yes, yes, I get your point, but how does sound create energy? That’s what I really want to know.”

  “You’ve heard of Nikola Tesla but did you know he established the principles between frequencies and power? I read somewhere in one of these books that Tesla believed vibrations could be made powerful enough to bring down any building. Faraday established the relationship between light and electro-magnetism. He also established the relationship of radio waves or frequencies and plasma.” Joshua noted a flicker of confusion crossing over Caleb’s face,

  “Okay, let me put that into English for you. If the sound has the right frequency or if the light is condensed into the right strength, energy is released. From the quantum perspective there’s a vast world we cannot see. Atoms, sub-atomic particles down to super-strings are in an alternative universe of behavior. The physical universe broken down into sub-atomic particles makes up new rules and regulations that do not necessarily fit the classical, physical world. Yet the classical, physical world comes from the matter of atoms. Is that part clear?”

  Josh waited for Caleb to nod before continuing, “Particles masses form matter, and as they adhere together we have molecular structure. We can then measure and perceive vibrations and frequencies in matter, but particles begin as the voice of God. Here let me show you.” Joshua reached for his Bible and thumbed to the verse he wanted to read. “Here it is, ‘He is the sole expression of the glory of God the Light-being, the out-raying or radiance of the divine, and He is the perfect imprint and very image of God’s nature, upholding and maintaining and guiding and propelling the universe by His mighty word of power.’ See, Jesus is light and sound working together.”

  Caleb stood, “But how do sound and light work together?”

  “Well, Jesus said that his words are Spirit. He is the light of the world. According to many theoretical physicists, it is believed that the most elementary building blocks of quantum are super or minute strings of energy that vibrate, they are commonly called super-strings. Some sub-atomic particles move faster than light but this only works if we also allow for the existence of other dimensions, because we have something called non-local matter.”

  Caleb sat back down as he slapped his thigh, “Okay, now you are losing me.”

  “Alrighty, then the one thing you need to remember is, sound and light are actually derived from the same sub-atomic particles, and both are waves of energy reacting either as electro-magnetic forces or as vibration and frequencies.

  Joshua laid his Bible on the worktable and held out both of his hands. “First,” he lifted his right hand higher than his left, “waves, sound waves are longitudinal and composed of compressions and rarefactions. Sound vibrations travel through the air in waves,” he moved his right hand up and down and across his chest to illustrate his point. “But the individual molecules themselves don’t move. The sound is not acting as individual particles but as a single wave. On the other hand,” he put his right hand down and lifted his left higher, “light waves are actually electromagnetic waves, which are produced from the accelerated motion of electrons.” He jabbed his left hand out away from his body in a fast forward motion, “You see light travels with intensity. The most common understanding of light is that it reflects or it refracts so light bounces off th
e receptacle and continues to travel, but sound moves along until it penetrates.

  “And that’s as simple as I know how to make it. Sound and light are the causal effect of sub-atomic particles reacting to the true energy source, which I believe is God. To put a capstone on it for you, according to the Hebrews 1:3 text, God guides and propels the universe at the command of his force. So what I’m saying, God speaks and energy exists. The two are inseparable, because God makes sound energy, or light to exist, and because he exists these elements exist. God is the most supreme and intelligent being in existence and the energy he produces has design. Everything he does has purpose. His thoughts design and his word becomes the energy that forms the thought. His word is the blueprint for the design, because his word is birthed from the intent of his thought. The blueprint or word replicates and creates by the sound within his word.”

  And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar. And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. Genesis 11:1-4, AMP

  “All right, Brother Josh,” Caleb feeling intimidated waggled a finger in a mocking manner and voiced his thoughts. “I think I’ve followed you, so I guess my question should be do you think it’s possible for Satan to harness light and sound for his purposes?” Standing slowly, Caleb began to walk in the opposite direction of where his brother stood. “Think about this question in terms of the Tower of Babel, could they have known how to control sound and light?”
