The Fermentation Of Death

Most of our readers, perhaps, have at some time or other stood upon the sands of the sea and watched with awe and wonderment its angry waves come rolling in. Even those who live near the sea never cease to marvel at this phenomenon -- this almost endless expanse of water that encircles this globe. For there is nothing stranger or more unnatural than our great oceans with water up to three miles deep covering almost three fourths of our good earth. This was not always so, for it was the falling of the great watery canopy of Noah's day that formed our great oceans, and prior to the Flood, when the great aqueous ring surrounded the earth like glass over a greenhouse, conditions on earth were so nearly perfect that man's life span in Eden was almost a thousand years.

We have seen how this great phenomenon reduced our atmospheric pressure and the oxygen content of our air so that man became a shallow breather, and that food grown in this air is so low in oxygen content that man's life span today has dropped to less than a hundred years. But it did much more than this; for the facts prove that our low atmospheric pressure of oxygen is the direct cause of alcoholism, narcotics, the tobacco habit, rust, rot, decay, fermentation, virus, disease, poison, and even death itself! But to prove these facts we must point out that Noah, a man of God, was the very first man upon this earth to become intoxicated! This was immediately after the Flood, and we should be quick to point out that Noah was completely innocent of any wrongdoing! For when "Noah began to be a husbandman (right after the Flood) he planted a vineyard: and he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent." (Genesis 9:20,21).

Alcoholism

Noah's wine made him so drunk that he was completely "out," and he knew not that he had become uncovered within his tent. While Noah has been severely criticized by every generation for his drunkenness, the facts show that he was completely innocent! Why? Because Noah knew nothing at all about intoxicating drinks, and he had never heard of such a thing as drunkenness! In fact, Noah's fermented grape juice was the very first alcoholic drink that had ever existed upon this earth, and although Noah had never heard of grape juice fermenting, he innocently became the first man upon this earth to make wine!

Prior to the Flood, in the heavily oxygenated air, there was an abundant supply of oxygen down in the valleys of the earth, and fermentation was unknown. It had no doubt been the custom of Noah to keep fruits and fruit juices for months, perhaps years, as rot, rust, decay and fermentation were unknown. But now the great watery canopy had fallen, causing the Flood, and raising the sea level about three miles. The atmospheric pressure had changed, and from that day to this man's life has been a constant fight against rust, rot, decay and fermentation. When the ark came to rest on Ararat Noah planted a vineyard, and from his first crop of grapes he made grape juice. There was no one to tell Noah his grape juice would ferment in this air. Perhaps Noah was having plenty of trouble breathing the new mountain air, and he evidently took on quite a quantity of his now-fermented grape juice, and although completely innocent, he was the very first man upon this earth to experience drunkenness.

Tobacco

While most of our readers are aware that fermentation is necessary to produce intoxicating drinks, perhaps not all are aware that fermentation is also necessary to produce the habit-forming chemicals of tobacco. The use of tobacco for smoking was first discovered by the American Indian and it was introduced to Spain and England in the 16th century. Although some fermentation takes place as the plant grows -- due to present atmospheric pressures -- making the plant in its natural state slightly habit-forming, the real habit- forming chemicals in tobacco are brought out by the manufacturing process of fermentation. Note the following from Encyclopedia Britannica on the fermentation of tobacco:

"TOBACCO FERMENTATION. Under favorable conditions, the enzymes naturally occurring in tobacco leaf act on the organic matters present, and the considerable alteration in their chemical constitution, thus caused, exercises a mellowing effect on the tobacco. Fermentation readily occurs when the tobacco is staked in heaps, but precautions require to be taken to prevent the temperature rising above 130 degrees F, and the heaps are therefore frequently re-made during the operation which lasts about a month." (Encyclopedia Britannica, 14th Edition, Volume 22.)

To the American Indian who smoked tobacco in its natural state, without fermentation, tobacco was not considered habit-forming. It was only a symbol to him -- a pipe of peace -- and he used it only on occasions of friendliness toward others. It was only by the manufacturing process of fermentation that tobacco became habit-forming, and thus commercialized, and exactly like intoxicating drinks, it is fermentation of tobacco that has made millions the world over slaves to its habit-forming properties.

Narcotics

While there are many forms. of narcotics and many plants having properties that induce mild narcosis, the principal drugs that are harmful and habit-forming are by-products of the opium poppy, such as opium, morphine, heroin, etc. These come from the milky juice of the opium poppy, and the facts show that it too depends upon the age-old process of fermentation for its habit-forming chemicals. Of course the raw opium is a narcotic, because in our atmospheric pressure fermentation begins even while the poppy juice is still in the pod or poppy capsule. But to bring out its real potency it must be put through (quoting from Britannica Encyclopedia) "a lengthy process of boiling, evaporating, fermenting, and a peculiar toasting process, followed by more straining, evaporating, fermenting and filtering." (Encyclopedia Britannica, 14th Edition, Volume 16).

Poisons

So we can see that the direct cause of every hurtful thing upon this earth is FERMENTATION, caused from the lack of Divine-like, God-given OXYGEN. In fact, everything that induces narcosis is poisonous, and the very fact that every poison has an antidote -- another chemical that destroys the poison when mixed with it -- proves that all forms of poison, every poisonous substance, and the venom from every poisonous serpent or insect, are unnatural mixtures of chemicals caused from FERMENTATION in the low percentage of OXYGEN of our present atmosphere.

Disease, Viruses, & Bacteria

While the exact relationship of bacteria to disease is unknown, it is known that bacteria is always present where there is disease, and Medical men agree that the same condition which causes one must also cause the other. For to remove the condition that causes bacteria is to remove the condition that causes disease. Bacteria can thrive only in the filth, rot and decay of fermentation, and it is now well known that every disease is a form of filth, virus, rot or decay of fermentation in the body, regardless of the cause. And since Louis Pasteur has definitely proved that the low oxygen content of air since the Flood has caused all fermentation, we can be quite sure that it is the lack of this cleansing gas called OXYGEN that causes the virus and diseases of fermentation!

This shows how futile has been our effort in spending millions in research for "wonder drugs" and "miracle vaccines." The whole theory has been based on a wrong premise, and the search has been in the wrong direction! The only "wonder cure" upon this earth is nature's own product, OXYGEN, and it is quite possible that "miracle cures" might be found if research was turned in the other direction -- in experimentation with life-giving oxygen! If the millions that are spent on wonder drugs and vaccines could be turned to research and experimentation with pressurized and oxygenized hospitals, pressurized and oxygenized rooms for deep breathing exercises and pressurized and oxygenized food-producing greenhouses, perhaps man would learn how to extend his life span many additional years I

If the sick and afflicted could spend several days in hospitals pressurized and oxygenized to the pre-Flood atmospheric pressure of 22 pounds or more to the square inch, we might actually see "miracle cures" without medicine or surgery, even as daily deep-breathing exercises in rooms pressurized and oxygenized to pre-Flood atmospheric pressure might greatly increase the life span! And with our experience with the Diet of Oxygen, and the beneficial results of oxygenated foods grown even in our atmospheric pressure of only 14.7 pounds per square inch, we can be almost certain that food grown in greenhouses pressurized and oxygenized to 22 or more pounds to the square inch would produce health and vitality far superior to anything man knows today!

Horns Of A Dilemma

We can see then the predicament we are in! The waters of the Flood filled our great food-producing valleys which were almost like oxygen tents, forcing us to live on the very top of the world, the six mountain plateaus which we call continents -- North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia -- where the atmospheric pressure of oxygen is so low that we starve to death for oxygen in less than a hundred years. Just a glance at a world map or globe will convince anyone that we are definitely "men of the mountains" -- that we live today on top of the mountains -- and that the best parts of the earth -- the broad, fertile, food-producing valleys -- are now covered by the waters of the sea! The atmospheric pressure of this mountain air is so low that we are beset with rust, rot, decay, fermentation, virus and every disease under the sun, and our whole life is a fight for survival! This is mankind's great dilemma! For in this unnatural, mountainous atmospheric pressure we are starving for life-giving oxygen both in our air and our food! Either we increase our supply of oxygen by mechanical experimentation and by a diet of oxygenated foods, or we continue to sicken and die in less than a hundred years! Horns of a dilemma, but there is no other choice; for man can not change the atmospheric pressure of his mountain home, neither can he remove the waters of the sea!

But there is a way that every hurtful thing upon this earth could be wiped out, even death itself, and it is quite startling! With one stroke every form of alcoholism, narcotics, tobacco, viruses, disease, old age, and even death itself could be abolished from the earth! But how? With human nature as it is -- weak, depraved, imperfect -- how, for instance, could the curse of alcoholism be abolished? The National Committee on Alcoholism reports that of 65,000,000 Americans who drink, some 4,000,000 have well-developed cases of alcoholism! Our 18th Amendment was such a miserable failure that it was abolished, and the problem of alcoholism is too great to be controlled by law. And how could the curse of narcotics be wiped out? No government on earth has been able to cope with this problem by law, as all prohibition laws have merely brought on new crops of bootleggers and black markets. And what about the tobacco habit, which today has not only enslaved millions of men and women, but millions of teen-age children as well?

While these problems are too great for man, there is a way they could be solved, and we find the solution in the words of the prophets! Whether or not we believe the words of the prophets, of course is of little concern here; for we point out their words only to prove our point on the importance of life-giving oxygen! That the prophets understood the tremendous power of Divine-like oxygen, is the point we want to prove. And that they believed in a coming "New HEAVEN (oxygenated and pressurized atmosphere) and NEW (part of the) EARTH," when there would be "NO MORE SEA" (Revelation 21:1), there can be no doubt! For they believed in a coming "new order" to the earth in which nothing would hurt or destroy:

"The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together, and a little child shall lead them. And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw (become a vegetarian?) like the ox. And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice's den. THEY SHALL NOT HURT NOR DESTROY IN ALL MY HOLY MOUNTAIN (Kingdom -- new order?): for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea." (Isaiah 11:1-10)

Believe them or not, the words of the prophets are quite startling; for they speak of a day in the future when "there will be no more sea" (Revelation 21:1) covering almost three fourths of our good earth, telling us that "his waterspouts" (Psalm 42:7) will funnel up the waters of the sea and uncover the millions of square miles of fertile ocean bottoms which they call the "NEW EARTH." Only such a phenomenon could take away the things that hurt and destroy, and the prophets were evidently aware of it; for a careful examination of the Hebrew shows that in the original Hebrew text the prophet actually wrote something like this:

"Nothing shall hurt nor destroy anywhere in my holy mountain (or the earth); for the knowledge of the Lord is that the ocean-bed that is covered by the waters of the sea shall be the LAND (of the NEW EARTH)." (Isaiah 11:9 -- See Moffatt Version, Smith-Goodspeed, Septuagint, etc.)

All of the religions of the world teach some kind of a "hereafter," although they usually look forward to such a day with fear and dread, but the prophets, who were evidently better informed, had no fear at all of this great day! And there is little wonder, when we study their belief; for they believed that the waters of the seas would "go up to the place founded for them" (Psalm 104:8) and again form the watery canopy above the atmosphere! This would not only uncover the fertile ocean bottoms, forming a NEW EARTH, but the atmosphere would revert to its pre-Flood pressure, bringing perfect climatic conditions, where extreme heat, extreme cold, and all upheavals of nature would be no more, and it is certain man would live forever upon this earth; for the whole earth would again be protected by the watery canopy like it was in the garden of Eden:

"Thus saith the Lord God: In the day that I shall have cleansed you from all your iniquities (rust, rot, decay, fermentation, virus, disease, alcohol narcotics, tobacco, etc.) I will also cause you to dwell in the cities, and the wastes shall be builded. And the desolate land shall be tilled, whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all that passed by. And they shall say, This land that was desolate (covered by water?) is become LIKE THE GARDEN OF EDEN; and the waste and ruined cities (covered by the sea in Noah's day?) are become fenced, and are inhabited." (Ezekiel 36:33-35)

With such a belief as this, there is little wonder the prophets looked forward with great hope to such a day! For if such a new order could return the waters of the sea to the watery canopy around the earth, the atmosphere would revert to its pre-Flood pressure, and there would be no more rot, rust, decay or filth from fermentation! This was the belief of the prophets, whether we believe it or not; for they wrote that men would then "build houses and live in them," and of course houses then would last forever, and that men would "plant vineyards and eat the fruit of them" (Isaiah 65:21), and of course tractors, trucks and automobiles too would almost last forever; for rust, rot, decay and filth from fermentation would be no more!

But even more important, this shows why the prophets believed such a new order would rid the earth of alcohol, tobacco, narcotics, and everything that hurts and destroys. For if the waters of the sea could be returned to the watery ring around the earth, filling our atmosphere with life-giving oxygen, there would be no more fermentation, and with no fermentation there would simply be NO MORE ALCOHOL, NO MORE TOBACCO, NO MORE NARCOTICS. It would be as simple as that! There would be no need for "18th Amendments" or any such laws. Men would stop drinking simply because there would be nothing to drink! They would stop using narcotics simply because there would be no narcotics! And with no fermentation of any kind, the tobacco plant would be no different than the cabbage leaf! It would lose its "kick," and those who have used it for a lifetime -- as snuff, smoking or chewing -- would simply stop using it.

While this is quite startling, it is the belief of the prophets, and nothing could be more simple! If such a "new order" could return the waters of the sea to the great aqueous canopy, forcing our atmosphere to its pre-Flood pressure, cleansing OXYGEN would again be in abundance, and fermentation would be no more. There would then be no more viruses, no more poisonous snakes or plants, no more flies, mosquitoes or pests, and of course no more bacteria or disease! Then there would be no more need for narcotics, tobacco, alcohol or stimulates, and they would be no more; for while it is certain these were given to a sick and suffering world by a merciful God -- and they have been glorious blessings in relieving tension, stress and pain -- there would then be no more need for them if the words of the prophets are true! For they tell us the inhabitants would then no longer say "I am sick." (Isaiah 33:24), "neither would there be any more pain." (Revelation 21:4); for NOTHING WOULD HURT OR DESTROY IN ALL THAT HOLY KINGDOM!

While these may sound like pipe dreams, they are not fantasies, and believe the words of the prophets or not, they at least substantiate our findings that man's greatest need today is for the invisible gas called OXYGEN. For now we know that disease, virus and even death are closely related to the rust, rot, decay, filth and poison of FERMENTATION, and we know that cleansing oxygen is the only antidote. We have seen the tremendous effect of deep-breathing oxygen on the growth of animals and the life span of man, and in the next chapter of this book we shall learn why the rust, rot, decay, filth and poison of FERMENTATION have such a killing effect on the very foods we live on.
