2008-09-22 An exciting message

This book has an exciting message in that the author directly links the name of God in Hebrew letters to the DNA code in our cells.

"Replacing the four elements of our DNA by the letters represented by their ancient and number code reveals that the basis of all life is made of various combinations of God's ancient name, YH, meaning 'Eternal'."

A point Braden makes that particularly appeals to me is that God halted creation before it was complete and commanded humankind to "walk before Me and become perfect" (Genesis 1:17). That is, it is up to us now to spiritually develop ourselves and to become as Him.

Braden illustrates his main thesis by direct reference to the scientific evidence and includes this in the appendices.

He concludes his book by a chapter appealing to us as nations to settle our differences and unify to prevent future destruction. After all, the "signature" of God's name in our cells "offers an unprecendented common denominator".

The final part of the book is perhaps less interesting but all in all a book worth reading.
