In search of pre-Columbian dogs

I feel when it comes to seeking out pre-Columbian dogs in the Americas, if this were somewhere in Canada, people are far better off looking for this in rez dogs instead. These are free-roaming owned dogs that hang out in reservations, places where Native Americans are relegated to whereas white European settlers took over most of their territory, which means Europeans and their Americanised descendants may have imposed their understandings (of dogs) onto them. There’s no doubt that bad ownership’s to blame when it comes to certain problems, but at the same time it’s possible large swathes of pre-Columbian DNA survives in rez dogs due to isolation. It’s kind of telling when a lot of European Americans can afford to get pedigree dogs, but Native Americans being a good deal poorer are often stuck with what others would call mongrels makes you wonder if there’s a kind of split between the two. A split between white settler society and indigenous society, the latter being marginalised and relegated to reservations. Not all Native Americans live in reservations, let alone for long especially if they’re looking for job opportunities elsewhere, but it’s likely rez dogs might be the direct descendants of pre-Columbian dogs.

Likewise the original St John dogs might survive in some indigenous reservations in some parts of Canada, or at least rez dogs with some admixture from them, that could tell us about certain cultural exchanges between the two demographics. It’s also likely that rez dogs might have some European admixture, but if a good number of them have pre-Columbian DNA then it’s a chance that they did survive European colonisation. But they’re just as marginalised as their human counterparts are, especially if/when European descendants not only prefer pedigree dogs, but can also afford to look after them. It’s not that Native Americans don’t care for dogs at all, well a good number of them do, but technically many of them are poorer than their European counterparts are. So the typical dog to them is a rez mongrel, it’s the kind of dog they’re more used to loitering around the reservation.

The dogs white people either suspect or pity. But to Native Americans that’s the sort of dog they’re more used to, that’s the dog they tend to have because that’s what’s readily available in their areas. As for St John water dogs, these dogs are suspected of being the forerunners to Labrador and Golden Retrievers, but it would be rather strange to think their genes survive in some Rez dogs. But that would mean Native Americans may have gotten St John dogs themselves at some point from their nice white neighbours, most likely as presents in search of dogs that can do the job well enough. This would mean the history of rez dogs parallel that of their owners, to the extent that they may be closely entwined with the European colonisation of what is now Canada and possibly the Americas in general. Rez dogs could be the direct descendants of both pre-Columbian dogs and to an extent, settlers’ dogs.

If this is true for some rez dogs in eastern Canada, regarding the possibility of some St John dog DNA in them, then this is going to be entwined with the colonisation of Canada really. Now as for the extinction of the Fuegian ‘dog’, which is descended from another canid altogether, it’s more of a tragic example of settler colonialism in the Southern Cone. If the domestic dog is unmistakably regarded as an invasive species in the Southern Cone, it is also unmistakably the animal of European colonisers, the same people who’re out to wipe out any sign of indigenous peoples there. To the extent of even wiping out the area’s resident domesticated carnivore, which is a tragic instance of settler colonialism wrecking havoc on indigenous peoples and cultures alike. So settler colonialism’s ability to obliterate indigenous peoples doesn’t just extend to their cultures, but also their domesticants.

Even if settler colonialism doesn’t succeed in obliterating indigenous peoples and their cultures, it could marginalise them by relegating them to certain areas, whereas white settlers can live anywhere they will to. This is also true for rez dogs where they could be mostly the descendants of pre-Columbian dogs but are relegated to reservations, whereas the settlers’ dogs thrive wherever their owners go. Very much like their human counterparts, to the extent that their survival’s based on the latter’s own.

The weird thing about a Russianised Canada

The weird thing about a Russianised Canada is that given they share similar latitudes and range of climates (not necessarily identical, but comparably similar), if Canada ever consents to or joins Russia in some fashion, then almost anything Russian is nearly applicable to Canada. This would be exacerbated should America seriously fall into decline, that if it weren’t for American influence and given Canada is kind of similar to Russia that Canada would’ve remained amenable to fur farming. A very controversial agricultural discipline where animals are domesticated for their furs, which will get utilised for clothing by the way. Fur farming in Russia started sometime between the Middle Ages and Early Modern period, which got refined over the years.

Believe it or not, the Russian Belyaev foxes that were assumed to be deliberately domesticated in Russia were actually Canadian imports, one would wonder if Canada ever agrees to joining Russia that it might resume this controversial practise. But this would mean that Russia might actually get to influence Canadian culture a lot this time, or at least more than it did before if it weren’t for America getting in the way. Like I said that both Canada and Russia share latitudes and a similar range of climates and biomes together, if Russia ever gets to influence Canada a lot once America stops being a superpower, then there’s a chance that Canada could adopt Russian ideologies and belief systems to an extent. Sort of like how and why a lot of European countries and Canada tend to follow America’s lead in cultural and ideological matters in many (if not most) regards, which becomes evident with mass culture.

It’s really not uncommon for both Canadians and Europeans to be this aware of and be into American mass culture a lot, whether if it’s US cartoon heroes or musicians like Sabrina Carpenter and Backstreet Boys, in fact it’s actually not uncommon for both Canadians and Europeans to enjoy American films, video games and television programmes a lot either. Though there are Canadians and Europeans who’re into Korean programmes as well as Japanese comics and animations, these take backseat compared to US media which are far more widely enjoyed as to be practically normalised and go unnoticed for most of the part, to the extent that anything American is synonymous with anything western. If because America is practically the current seat of western civilisation, so Europe and Canada will inevitably take a lot from it.

This also includes similar stances on hot button topics like fur farming, though this sentiment is far from nonexistent in Russia. Especially animal rights but then again Canada’s practically in the same latitude as Russia is and also share a similar range of climates and biomes together, so there’s a chance that if Canada ever comes under Russian jurisdiction in any way Canada would end up emulating Russia to a plausible extent. If possible, Canada might even take cues from Russian politics and ideologies more in this scenario, though it remains to be seen if Canada will even resume fur farming en masse. But it’s pretty likely for the reasons I stated before in ways that might shock Canada itself, since it’s had a longstanding relationship with America for years.

Maybe not as much as I make it out to be, but it does make one wonder if Canada could’ve been more like Russia. Not necessarily identical to Russia but out of all the potential countries to join Russia in the future (if you believe somebody like Celestial), Canada could easily be one of the most similar but not just culturally. Also geographically, which speaks for itself. But when it comes to somebody like Celestial, she’s one of those people who say that America is Mystery Babylon, a future nation-state in the Bible said to corrupt the entire world with its filth. In the sense of practically and effectively popularising everything shameful and embarrasing like porn films and magazines to the world, despite having a rather substantial Christian base to boot. Whether or not this even includes modern political correctness is up to anybody’s guess.

But since America and its allies are big on multinational immigrant multiculturalism, in fact in ways that aren’t neatly applicable to Russia (communist past), China (still communist) and the rest of the east, whether if it even includes African countries at all, so what starts in America will get popularised elsewhere. This includes an antagonistic stance on fur farming, but it’s got a lot to do with America being the reigning superpower of the day. So inevitably and predictably, American ideas will get inculcated onto other countries almost immediately moreso with both mass media and social media. Canada would be really susceptible to this not just because both of them share the same language together, but also because it’s this close to the United States enough to feel like a bootleg of the latter.

Take PETA for instance, though its founder is British it’s primarily an American organisation. It’s also one that spread across the world, there’s one in Germany and likely another one in Canada too. So inevitably if there’s a particular antagonism towards fur farming in America, it will spread across its closest allies and to some extent, outside of its sphere of influence as well. Even if this stance didn’t originate in America but with America being a superpower that it will succeed in popularising it, in a way its originator didn’t get around to in any capacity. Animation didn’t originate in America but America not only popularised it, it also formalised many familiar conventions and practises. It’s also behind venerable brands like Disney, Pixar, Warner Bros, Nickelodeon and Hanna Barbera.

The idea may not take root in America but since it’s a current superpower that it will popularise it much more successfully and inculcate this onto other countries and cultures, sort of like how horse meat used to be fairly popular in France, Germany and Spain. The stance existed in Britain before but America pretty much popularised it and as a result, these three countries don’t eat much horse meat as they did before. This also includes fur farming because even if the stance didn’t originate in America, what America did is to popularise it and it spread across the world when it was at its height. Canada being America’s closest neighbour to the north would be very suspectible to America’s sphere to influence, to the extent that what takes root in America will immediately to Canada, with or without the mediations of both mass media and social media.

A Russianised Canada would be a rather different situation, whilst Canada doesn’t really share a physical border with Russia but as the two share latitudes, climates and biomes together, Canada could see itself in Russia and vice versa in an unexpected way. It’s hard to tell if fur farming en masse will ever resume in Canada should it consent to joining Russia, even if it does it would take time for such a practise to see a resurgence there. It would take time for both Russia and Canada to build healthy, consenting bilateral relations at all if Canada ever consents to joining it, though this could lead to largely unprecedented cultural exchanges as Canada has been under America’s spell for a long time. Like I said that if it weren’t for America getting in the way, Canada would’ve remained sympathetic to fur farming.

Russia has had a tradition of fur farming, even if not all Russians do this or are they sympathetic to that cause, so it would have fairly extensive experiences with using wolves, lynxes, foxes, arctic foxes and the like for fur. Canada also does something similar with some of these animals, but on a smaller scale not just to the influence of animal rights activism but also that it’s still practised by only some people (primarily indigenous North Americans at that). Even then if Russia is something of a pioneer in large scale fur farming, if Canada were to join it in the future then it too will inevitably follow its lead over this vexing matter. Maybe not in a way that I’d expect but inevitably given it will be under Russia’s sphere of influence when it does join Russia at all.

Pet chickens and domestic foxes

There’s a blog I follow online by somebody who raises and cares for chickens themselves, and they said that chickens are very temperature-hardy birds that have been domesticated by humans for so long, that even if they get imprinted on people before they still function just as fine with other chickens. They also have the advantage of being really easy to care for, and one of my brothers often feeds them uncooked white rice to keep them from ruining plants. But I suspect not a lot of people keep pet chickens is because they often think of them as food first, even if they’d easily satisfy the needs for having a pet bird around. Canaries and possibly budgerigars are among the few ornamental birds to have been truly domesticated by people for long, the former were even used in mines for something to get something.

Unless if there were people who did eat canaries for food, though this might not be implausible in times of starvation. Birds of prey might also be good candidates for domesticated birds that are also exotic pets, since they’ve been trained and used by people to hunt animals. But I suppose it’s easier to go after at least most species of parrots than perhaps eagles and hawks, though it could be that the latter two aren’t necessarily domesticated in the conventional sense of the word. The thing with red foxes is that when they do get domesticated at all, they’re actually used/raised as livestock–especially when it comes to fur farming. A very vexing practise given how others complain about animals reminiscent of their dogs getting used for fur coats, that many fur farms have closed down in the west.

But then again their domestication history is much more recent than that of cats, dogs and chickens, like it would be really tricky trying to take care of them at all, especially from the start. It should also be noted that foxes weren’t used for anything useful whilst keeping them alive in any capacity, at least not as much as both cats and dogs are which is saying. Or even with carabaos, horses, sheep, goats, cows, pigs (especially when it comes to looking for truffles) and ferrets, so the domestication history of foxes is really short. Or at rather less consistently domesticated over a prolonged period of time compared to these critters, that I feel foxes aren’t really going to hold a candle to chickens anyways. Or for another matter, the other companion parrot species in this regard.

Though there are instances of dogs being used for fur* (as shocking as it sounds), there’s not much of a recorded or known case of a domesticated fox being trained or conditioned to hunt rats the way dogs and even cats undergo, not in any way I recognise even if it were possible. If Joseph ‘Mink Man’ Carter is any indication, it is possible to make mink hunt animals but it’s also really rare at that. Ferrets are kind of like mink and are also used in fur farming, but they’ve been domesticated earlier and longer than mink do and also get used for hunting animals, so in some places like Britain if people are going to hunt animals with mustelids they’re going for ferrets instead. Hunting with foxes would be just as remarkably rare really, so they hunt with dogs instead.

There are really no foxes in the Philippines and I’ve never been around one myself, coupled with that there are practically no fur farms here that use foxes in any way that fox domestication is ultimately very geographically limited. But chickens have been domesticated in the Philippines and a number of Philippine households have pet chickens themselves, so this is something I’m kind of familiar with on some level. I have even fed chickens leftover rice myself and it’s really not that hard to feed and care for chickens, that they can thrive well on rice and fruits gives them a big advantage over pet parrots (which need a more specialised diet). They can be used to attack snakes, even if it were possible to make a fox do this. Though I feel such instances are very rare, if present at all.

Fox ownership is so rare that there are practically no people who use foxes to hunt rats like one would with cats and dogs, which is saying even if the potential’s there in some way. As for pigs there are actually instances where they do get used for something whilst being kept alive, especially when it comes to hunting for truffles, though it seems to be a specifically continental European practise at that. And there’s a book on China written sometime in the 1980s (I think) which mentions instances of both dogs and pigs being used to eat faeces or something, so pigs are actually pretty useful when kept alive even when one of these uses is kind of disgusting. (Though in the days before a flush toilet arrived, this would’ve be one of the more sensible solutions around.)

There could be instances of foxes being used to hunt rats and mice just like one would with cats and dogs, though these are going to be really rare even in non-Anglophone media. Even in Sinophone media there are instances of dogs being made to guard premises and houses, hunt rodents and stuff, just like in the west and this extends to cats to some extent as well. But using foxes to do some of the same things is practically unheard of, though it’s likely some recorded instances do exist they are rare. Although it’s proven that foxes are amenable for domestication, there is scant recorded evidence of using foxes to do some of the same things as dogs do which speaks volumes really. Domesticated foxes aren’t just livestock, they’re specialised livestock.

They’re usually raised to be made into fur coats after getting killed and skinned, whereas with horses they’re actually more generalised livestock in some places. Especially Kazakhstan and Mongolia as well as Russia to some extent where they’re not just used for milk but also meat, practically no different like one normally would with cattle/oxen, pigs, goats and sheep. Though some Russians do breed foxes for companionship, there’s not much evidence for instances of domesticated foxes being used for hunting rats in any way. In some regards, fox domestication differs substantially from cat and dog domestication, and overlaps more with minks, chinchillas and rabbits instead. If because they’re used for fur more extensively and consistently than one would with both cats and dogs.

To the extent that foxes are practically livestock domesticants in a general sense, no different from chickens, pigs, oxen, goats and sheep, even if the usage is far more specialised. It’s not that foxes are one-note domesticants when kept alive, since similar things can be said of ferrets, cats and pigs as well. But that there’s practically scant if any evidence of domesticated foxes being used to hunt rodents like one normally would with either cats or dogs (with the former, it’s also like this in Ghana and Kenya), that it would take a Joseph Carter of the fox ownership world to make foxes hunt mice if it were possible at all. But it would be just as rare as to be practically and largely unprecedented, no different with the real McCoy towards mink.

Because chickens have been domesticated for a long time that you don’t just have a wide variety of chicken breeds, but also more uses for chickens as well though having limited use whilst kept alive doesn’t stop people from owning cats, ferrets and pigs in any way and they’ve also been domesticated long before in the past. There are fighting chickens, ornamental chickens, chickens kept for eggs and chickens kept for meat, then there are chickens used for pest control. It is possible to have therapy chickens like one would with therapy cats and dogs, though the former could be very rare at best in the real world. One could also keep chickens as pets just the same, which some already have.

The poster might have a kind of antifox bias on their part, but I feel given if I could be sympathetic to foxes, there’s really not much evidence in any way of people using them to hunt rodents and snakes the way one would with cats and dogs. It’s not nonexistent but it’s very rare if present, that fox domestication more closely parallels that of chinchillas than it does with dog domestication. Cat domestication isn’t like dog domestication at times, but the parallels are evident in that they’re both commonly kept as companion animals, used as therapy animals and as countermeasures towards rodents. It’s not exact but it’s more similar to dog domestication in these regards than foxes are to them.

Ironic since foxes are related to dogs but the only felids that are bred for fur in any way that parallels that of foxes would be Eurasian lynxes, which are also rarely if ever used for hunting animals by their human owners. The one felid that’s comparable to foxes when it comes to being extensively used for fur farming in Eurasia is the Eurasian lynx, the one felid that’s comparable to dogs when it comes to being used for hunting rats and also as a companion is the housecat, even if the similarities aren’t particularly exact. Though this would be an awkward realisation for some really.

*It’s also like this with their wild counterparts, wolves.

Horse With No Name

Celestial had a prophecy involving what will go on in the Bible is that the sea will be gone and dried up, to the point where one would even get to see actual sea monsters or at least sea animals that science has yet to discover. She also said that there has to be a reason why people’s focus needs to be heavenwards, for the Lord will come as a thief in the night and everything else gets destroyed in some kind of fire. Those who are spirit-led either treat others right or learn to treat them well, that some human pursuits will have to go is pretty hard to let go of. I kind of prayed to God before to create not only dead animals, but also the lost belongings.

Perhaps he will, he might spare some. God always keeps a remnant of things and people, so it’s likely some artefacts will make it to the new earth. The people that others interceded for their salvation will also be spared, because of their prayers they will make it to the new earth. Their sins will be forgotten, their good works will be remembered for all eternity. She also said that in the future, a lot of people will die. A lot of them will drop like flies, especially in nations that backslide the most. Be it Canada, Britain or Norway, it will really happen. She even pointed out with the last one at that.

I remember her saying that Sweden, Denmark and Norway will be especially singled out for having such a spiritually dead population that many of its people will become actually dead for no discernable reason, because they have abandoned God so much that death will their portion. In another one of her prophecies, she dreamt that the pool vanished and there were much stranger creatures there. She said that God makes countless strange sea animals that have yet to be discovered and verified by science, this will even include sea monsters.

If Leviathan is one of those, then others are no different either. If the seas and oceans hold many more creatures unknown to science, including preternaturally large sea snakes then it’s likely some of those maritime legends turn out to be true. Well not necessarily in ways we expect those to be, but at least there’s the possibility of the sea holding much larger animals than expected. It’s actually less unexpected than one realises, because the vast seas and oceans are convenient for housing larger creatures due to their ability to accommodate the square cube law.

It’s something that governs how big an animal could get in proportion to its volume and mass, that with the sea and ocean animals could get away with being much larger because those are buoyant enough to hold their mass. So it makes sense that the sea could house far larger sea snakes, squids and octopuses than one would imagine, giant squids are real but larger squids have yet to be verified by science. If so, then the sea holds wonders and horrors that will astonish humanity if more scientists discover these creatures and monsters lurking around.

Then we get to the part where she said that America will find itself engulfed by water so badly that it barely exists in the future, well different from its current form and as a final punishment for the things it wrought onto the world. Interestingly somebody else on 444Prophecy also said that America is Mystery Babylon and it too will be largely lost to the sea, so it seems both of them agree on something about the final fate of this nation-state. Perhaps because of the things it reaps, it will sow and then disappear forever. Nobody will remember this nation anymore.

Because nobody will be able to find it, to the point where if both Canada and Mexico continue to exist without America then they’ll resort to using ships to transport food and other items with, if because the middleman is now gone. How the mighty have fallen by then.

Genetic Engineering

God said to Celestial that there will be a rise in genetic engineering once the Beast comes to power in America, the Beast being Barack Obama (of all people, I’m not kidding and so is she). As I said before online that one could get the child they wanted in some way if they ask God for it, but it seems with genetic engineering some people don’t seem to trust God enough to want a child with their spouses together. Some way or another as I said before, but some trust humans more than God. It seems if people want a red-haired, blue eyed child rather than talking to God about it, they entrust this to scientists who will find the genes they want their child to have.

This is just an example and a hypothetical one at that, but it does make you wonder who do they trust more? If the Bible tells us to trust God more than humans, this is one reason why but not in a way we recognise it as. Even I myself struggled with this at some point. I feel at other times there are cases where we have to trust God more, especially if it’s about certain matters we’re deeply concerned about where no human can easily resolve matters. Even if a human can be used to resolve matters, the way God sees it and uses them for, it’s still wiser to trust in God when all else fails. If there are bad matters, confide in God to handle it.

If there are problems you wish to confront, then confide in God and he will handle things. Maybe not always in ways we like, but he can do it if we trust more in what he can do for us. Such is the folly of trusting humans to create the child people want, when it’s wiser to turn to God to handle those things.

Party Monster

If Celestial and God were to be both believed, sea monsters really do exist. That oceans and seas hold strange wonders and mysteries is something to behold, given how awesome God’s power over life is and how there are dangers in the sea that nobody’s aware of. Well not in ways they immediately recognise nor understand, but it seems underwater life gets stranger once more of it’s revealed. It’s a well-known fact in science that oceans and seas are buoyant enough to house very large creatures, including those that might have been considered extinct but turn out to be around in some form.

It’s like that with the coelacanth, it too was thought to be extinct. But these same creatures show up elsewhere, so they’re really not extinct though still elusive. If the sea and ocean can house really large animals like the blue whale, it’s conceivable both of them can house a really large squid like the Kraken. There might even be species of snakes that are far larger than their terrestrial counterparts, since seawaters can accomodate large creatures, thus helping them get away with the square cube law much larger animals likely exist. But it doesn’t just end with unusually large earth animals.

Mermaids too might turn out to be real, though they’re not very nice creatures. She even said that mermaids are demonic beings that hunt and kill humans, whether if it’s true is up to anybody else’s guess. But if the sea houses unfathomable and unthinkable monsters, both supernatural and natural, then some of it could be true in one way or another. Dragons, as conceived by the Chinese, are often linked to water and weather but if they turn out to be real, then the Chinese are pretty much justified in their belief even if some of them think they’re not real. (I remember some likening snakes to dragons.)

If truth is really stranger than fiction, then the ocean houses terrors and wonders alike. Both unusually large animals and supernatural monsters together, where good and evil battle for the souls and attentions of humanity. Seas and oceans house mysteries, miracles and terrors that the human mind can’t understand easily, but you might have to appreciate them the way one would with God. He’s even compared to water and his attitude to us is like the tides and waves, sometimes they’re welcoming and sometimes they’re not so you have to be put up with those.

Something fishermen, marines, marine biologists and sailors would have known too well.

At The Zoo

Celestial was given a prophecy by the Lord but one about America’s destruction and especially that of New York City, due to its sins that in the foreseeable future it will be nuked and make deserted. That wild animals and possibly feral pets will take over New York is a comeuppance for its sins, animals taking over deserted human habitations isn’t anything new. What happened in Chernobyl is that the place got contaminated by nuclear radiation, but where stray dogs came to populate it in the coming years. These dogs even have a mutation peculiar to them as to adapt to years of radiation, though something similar has also happened to their feline counterparts.

There is currently no study taken about them in any way, but it’s conceivable that their own descendants have adapted to years of nuclear radiation. I guess if New York City ever gets nuked in the future, not only will cats and dogs adapt to years of nuclear radiation, but also so will wildlife like bears and raccoons for instance. As raccoons are native to North America, supposing if America itself were to get nuked that years of nuclear radiation will affect raccoons. The first generation of raccoons would appear to be this badly affected, but over time their scions and descendants will adapt to years of nuclear radiation. They too will have a mutation that allows them to adapt to such a situation.

There have been programmes about what would happen if the Earth were to be denuded of humans, but it seems according to Biblical prophecy something similar will happen to a select few places. However they’re not what you think they are, because these are the same locations that will be judged harshly for their sins. If God could make any American city deserted and denuded of humans, he can and will do it if this place has too many unrepentant sinners which goes extra if it had Christians before. That America exports too much filth that nations enjoy is a sign that it has fallen from grace.

The western bias in dog domestication studies

This may not always be the case for all studies on dog domestication, but when there is a strong western bias despite evidence pointing out to East Asia as the site of dog domestication, then we are missing out the actual origin of and purpose behind dog domestication. I guess it’s got to do with the whole dog eater stereotype that plagues East Asians, even if not all of us do this and it’s increasingly called out and no longer that popular here. There are actually surviving Chinese documents about dogs being used for pest control, that it’s possible it would’ve been much older and likely dating back to the Ice Age.

The practise still survives in other East Asian countries like Indonesia, Vietnam and the Philippines, also if Basal East Asians originated in what’s now present day China then they could’ve brought along dogs and their uses for them anywhere else whenever they spread out to other places. If Basal East Asians are ancestral to modern day East Asians, including Austroasiatics and Northern East Asians then it’s inevitable they would’ve brought along dogs and their uses for them when some of their relatives went elsewhere. But that would mean East Asians might have played a far bigger role in dog domestication than is commonly assumed, despite all their faults and misgivings about dogs.

Far bigger than is given credit for by westerners. East Asia could also be the place where dogs might have been deliberately domesticated, which would be in line with surviving documented evidence of dogs being used for rat control. That’s not to say that East Asians never used dogs for meat, except that they were historically eaten only on special occasions and also in times of famine. But the earlier use of dogs here would’ve excluded this, though they weren’t used for hunting bigger game like mammoths. While dogs did have their uses in prehistoric East Asian households, hunting bigger animals was not one of them yet.

So protodogs would’ve used in East Asia for hunting vermin and guarding households, not that there weren’t any other uses for them but that these were the main ones at the time. These two practises survive in some East Asian countries today and possibly some Chinese households and farms to a likely extent, so the earliest use of dogs as pest control isn’t entirely lost here. But the fact that western scientists often ignore East Asian cultures as the likeliest evidence of dogs being deliberately domesticated, even if it’s not for hunting bigger game at the time suggests a tendency to be coloured by racist stereotypes in their biases.

Albeit not in ways they don’t recognise for what they really are.

We Are The Robots

Celestial had a prophecy where people will increasingly create artificial lifeforms made out of anything and everything, be they robots or biological clones of somebody else. At this point, we’re getting dangerously close with the former where not only are people striving to make robots more humanlike in both appearance and behaviour but also where they are used for sex. I even think somebody might come up with the idea of making sexbots for straight and bisexual women, why bother hiring a gigolo when an android would do. Android as in manlike, so this befits the new sexbots for these women.

Gay men will also get their own sexbots and these sexbots will be just as convincingly human as possible. Whilst robots aren’t necessarily wrong in their own right, since they can be used to help other people and assist in manual labour like factory work for instance, but making humanlike robots and cloning people is a big affront to the Lord. If because humans are made in his image, so this is a way of giving him the middle finger. Like they don’t trust God to give them somebody or something, so they create somebody or something themselves instead. They could come up with a human-animal chimera and he’d be just as displeased.

People would make clones out of those who’re recently deceased, he’s be just as angry if they ever accomplish the unthinkable. Celestial said that this will take place in America, but it will spread to the western world when it does. She even had a prophecy that the western world will actually have its population reduced, so I suppose it’s not just backsliding that got it into trouble but also playing God when it comes to advancements in biotechnology and robotics that if God will get rid of the biological synthetics this will be one reason why.

Or at least one of the reasons, which makes attempts at creating a superhuman all the more insulting to him. It’s not that there weren’t any superhuman people in Biblical times before, Samson possessed great strength, Bible characters used to lead long lives and some can resurrect the dead with God’s help. Even today there are a number of naturally occurring humans, since if God created people in his image then he could make a superhuman if he wanted to and has done before. You’ll find them in sports but it seems this isn’t enough to satisfy some of those in biotechnology, where they’ll do anything to engineer a superhuman. People will request their businesses to give them a superhuman child.

Alternately they could turn to robotics businesses for the same thing, and the damning case is that if synthetics do have sex with people or do sexual violence against them who’s going to do a DNA test to prove who’s the father or rapist when they themselves don’t have any real genetic material to begin with? This would make it harder to find out who raped who, especially if the victim develops serious problems from being attacked by an artificial lifeform! Those who could impregnate a woman, well any woman, would be a biological synthetic.

Except this is one case where it could easily backfire, especially if the suspect still gets found. Also she said that synthetics and most especially biological synthetics will never go to heaven because they don’t have souls, only God can make souls and only he makes people in his image, not people themselves. Which is the point of an earlier prophecy, this makes attempts at making artificial humans look worse because they are playing God. They don’t trust God much so they take matters into their own hands, regardless of how awkward and foolish it really is to him. If God can make life, then leave it to him and him alone.

He could give you the pet or child you want or need if you ask him to, but sadly people will turn to biotechnology and robotics instead to fulfil something similar. But attempts at cloning animals have resulted in creatures that don’t act like the creatures they’re based on, if they wanted an animal a lot like the one that died, they could always ask God for something similar which is what I do. They don’t trust God, they only trust themselves. This is something I struggle with from time to time, but this should serve as a lesson where we ought to rely on him more.

Perhaps this should be a wake-up call to those who trust too much in humans when they should trust God to do the heavy-lifting instead, it wouldn’t be easy since we sometimes think humans are right but God is righter so we need to trust him more in times like these.

Superhuman

Celestial was given a vision from the Lord where the transhuman movement will grow in the coming years, especially when it gets sanctioned by none other than Barack Obama, that we’ll see a growth in superhuman people. What seems like the plot of a science fiction movie or novel will actually come into fruition, the more people become more unscrupulous in biotechnology. She said that when Nebuchadnezzar tried to make Daniel and his friends suffer in the fires prepared for them, he had no idea he ended up harming the people who were sent to kill them. Likewise scientists will literally die trying to create a superhuman monster, most likely because they’ll be killed by those creations.

She had a prophecy of how there will be half-human, half-animal soldiers as well as the emergence of more sophisticated artificial humans. Also improvements in technology will open a big can of worms, especially when it comes to sexuality where people will have sex with more sophisticated robots, polyamory becomes more popular and so on. It looks like this prophecy has come true in some way, especially when it comes to the rise of polyamory in daily western life. But I feel the worst is yet to come if people will even incorporate more violence into their sex lives. Not just BDSM which would be pretty vanilla by then, but also murder and more gruesome violence to come.

Then comes the Nephilim, the horrible scions of human women and demons. They will return to the Earth in a way that’s never been seen before in centuries, it would be horrifying if people will do anything to advocate for their ‘rights’. She even had other prophecies where people will have sex with demons and this time demons will manifest themselves in the flesh, especially as aliens who seem to come from outer space. Not that there’s anything wrong with the thought of aliens among us, CS Lewis has contemplated this in the lesser known Space Trilogy books where the aliens come from a sinless world. But these aliens she’s referring to are actually demons.

I believe the worst is yet to come, yet her prophecies give a bitter foretaste of what’s to come.
