Oil, the blood of Dinosaurs, and the Gulf Oil Disaster?

by Dan Baxley

I remember when I was a young man (child) being taught in class that the oil beneath was the product of the dinosaurs that lived millions and millions of years before us.  You don't hear much about that anymore, of course, because the newest theory is the dinosaurs were wiped out by a large, very large, meteor.  This does not fit in with the dinosaurs being buried under millions and millions of tons of earth and rock compressing them into a gooey mass we call, "crude", "oil' that is. 

I also remember a murder victim being discovered in a fifty gallon barrel and when the police opened it it was a gooey mass of liquid grease, a real messy stuff of what was once human flesh.  The bones were still there but the flesh had virtually cook off and the human tissue of muscle and fat had turned into the beginnings of "crude" or "crud", whichever you prefer.  

 So, what does this have to do with the Gulf Oil Disaster?  Let's assume, for the sake of argument, that the Dinosaurs were not destroyed by a giant meteor but by a disaster just as big, like, say, a great flood.  If we consider a flood of worldwide proportions and all life, such as the dinosaurs, is moved about like massive beds of dead flesh rolled about and over, folding under massive silt and soil movements eventually becoming buried and compressed into great pockets of flesh and blood.  Under such conditions the remains would be virtually cooked by the extreme pressures into something else.

Now, again for the sake of argument we make another assumption (Hey, we are allowed, evolutionist make assumptions all the time), when this oily mass (crude) is reunited with another component it once possessed, salt water, it turns into something that looks a great deal like BLOOD.

What? Is it possible I am the only one to have noticed how much the massive crude oil, missing with the salt waters of the ocean looks strangely like blood? 

(Rev 16:3) And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.

We are still making assumptions here, so why not go a step further and let us be reminded, there are thousands and thousands of oil platforms in the world over, sucking Dino blood from beneath the deep.  Now, the Great Quake hits, just how many of these giant oil platforms will rupture?  I would guess all of them, and from space what would all this crude, this dinosaur blood, look like?  I'm thinking. BLOOD. 

Of course this is not an attempt to second guess the message we are given in the book of Revelation.  Our creator does not need to use a natural event to cause something to happen in fulfillment of His words.  It cannot be denied, however, at how often our Creator has chosen to use His natural creation to punish mankind by reversing what men worship back on themselves.  Who worships oil?  Well, everyone, as a matter of fact.  Think it over, we all cherish our cars and our cars come to life for us on the blood of dinosaurs.  We cannot picture life without electricity and much of this power we serve and can't live without is powered by generators powered by crude and COAL.

Now, coal is another extreme and evidence of this substance is from massive accumulations of vegetations, once again, cooked under tremendous pressures into what we know as coal.  We have one small problem, not with pressure being used to form these coal beds the world over, but the amount of coal found on the surface, not buried like crude oil.  What does this prove?  That this earth has undergone some sort of great disaster nearly beyond human understanding.  The evidence is there, we see it, we burn it, we need it and it is all form a previous life.  Yes, that is the undeniable fact, we are running our lives, dependent on all the trappings of modern living, on the remains of a previous world, a world and life before ours. 

If the world were populated with people in the millions, perhaps billions, and I believe it was, the Bible tells me so, then it is not only the blood of dinosaurs we are burning in our engines. 

Truly, I do not believe every prophetic event has to have a physical explanation.  There are some teaching prophecy on a human level of understanding.  Believer, certainly, but with a small lack of faith unless they can find a physical explanation for every sign or wonder witnessed down through the ages of man's existence.  We can see and explain all sorts of things relating to physical things of this modern age not understood centuries ago before the development of modern war machines.  But our Creator, able to call things into existence, does not need the physical to punish or save man form himself.  There is, however, as mentioned before, a witness against mankind, a witness of mankind's own making -- the works of his own hands.

(Rev 9:20) And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:

Some see this warning as something for "Idol worshipers" as those that bow before statues, praying to stones and wood, etc., but the spiritual side pf what is mentions can easily be expanded upon.  The main teaching here is the lack of repentance, of, "...the work of their own hands".  This we see today, the belief in man, the faith held by mankind of man's ability to solve all of their own problems even, one day, discovery of living forever in a youthful body, or frozen for a future life of eternity.  Ridiculous? Yes, but true, and on a lower level mankind works on the assumption we do not really need a Creator, that we can solve all of our own problems and will one day all live at peace with one another.  Of course history proves this is a dream, a bad dream, all in an effort to remove guilt.  The base line intellect is the rejection of a creator, anything else will do but there is not God.  For the religious it is not a matter of intellect but of chasing a mythological god, or gods made of natural elements.  Some very intelligent people, graduates or our high educations, finding the hollow promises of man saving man have turned to these false gods of the East, of statues of wood and stone.  Bowing before other men as gods, guru, and spiritual mentors chasing after a substance to fill the hole in their existence, having been throughly poisoned by higher education against the Messiah preached from Hebrew/Aramaic Scriptures.  How sad, how sad, as there is only one way leading to the Kingdom of eternal life and the door by which all must pass is YaHshua (YaH Shua).
