God most high - El Elyon and other names that reveal the character of God from the sacred scriptures.

Image
  The Lord has many names in the Bible. You may have heard of the one "El Elyon"  which means Most High  (Deuteronomy 26:19).  El Elyon, God Might High, or sometimes LORD Most High is used through Scripture to refer to the LORD, Creator of heaven and earth. Psalm 57:2 says, “I cry out to God Most High, to God who fulfills his purpose for me.” The Hebrew words translated Hebrew “God Most High” are Elohim or (El) Elyown, which means Most High God (Genesis 14:22; Psalm 78:35). In the title LORD Most High, the Hebrew words are Elohim Yahweh. God Most High or LORD Most High means there is no idol, god, or created being that should be worshiped or exalted over the Lord because He is superior in every way. Photo credit: SWN Where Do We See El Elyon in Scripture? In  Daniel 4:2  God Most High is translated from the Hebrew  Yahweh  Illay  which means the highest Lord.

What is a pangolin?  Everything you wanted to know about this scaly mammal Content copied from  https://www.worldwildlife.org/stories/what-is-a-pangolin CCTell a Friend © Shutterstock.com 1. What is a pangolin, really? Though many think of them as reptiles, pangolins are actually mammals. They are the only mammals wholly-covered in scales and they use those scales to protect themselves from predators in the wild. If under threat, a pangolin will immediately curl into a tight ball and will use their sharp-scaled tails to defend themselves. 2. What do pangolins eat? Pangolins eat ants, termites and larvae and are often known as "the scaly anteater." Because they have no teeth, pangolins pick up food with their sticky tongues, which can sometimes reach lengths greater than the animal’s body. 3. The most trafficked mammal in the world? They certainly are one of the most trafficked mammals in Asia and, increasingly, Africa. Pangolins are in high demand in countries like China and

Wildlife Conservation

  WILDLIFE CONSERVATION Wildlife conservation is protecting plant and animal species and their habitats. Biodiversity is at the heart of the world’s ecosystems.  This means that wildlife conservation aims to safeguard the variety and richness of life on Earth, which supports the health and functioning of natural systems. Nature conservation for biodiversity includes marine and terrestrial life.   It covers both land and water habitats, and the species that depend on them. For example, coral reefs, wetlands, forests, grasslands, and polar regions are all important areas for biodiversity conservation. Scientists estimate that current extinction rates are about a thousand times higher than expected based on the fossil record. Some  species are disappearing at an alarming rate, much faster than the natural background rate of extinction. The fossil record is the preserved remains or traces of organisms from the past, which can help estimate how many species existed and went extinct over ti
