I received this Omega Letter in Saturday’s email, but just read it a few minutes ago. It bears posting:

The Great American Experiment is now two-hundred and thirty-three years old. It’s been a heck of a ride. There has never been a country so blessed in all human history.

One might add the fact that there has never been a country more worthy of her blessings than America has been, from the very beginning. America’s first European immigrants came to her shores in pursuit, not of gold, but of God.

The Pilgrims who first set foot upon Plymouth Rock in 1620 were members of a religious separatist group who refused to join and give allegiance to the Church of England.
Under the 1559 Act of Uniformity, not being a member of the Church of England was a crime — as was not attending weekly services.

The fine for missing a Sunday service or high holy day was the equivalent to about ten dollars. The penalties for conducting an unauthorized worship service included much larger fines, imprisonment, or worse. In 1593 Puritan leaders Harry Barrowe and John Greenwood were charged with sedition and executed by the Crown.

The Puritans had high hopes for King James I when he assumed the throne, but other than authorizing an English translation of the Bible (the KJV 1611) King James denied all other requests for religious concessions.

In 1607 the Puritans attempted to relocate to Amsterdam in search of religious freedom but were intercepted by the British and imprisoned for more than a month.

A second attempt to flee to Amsterdam the following year was also intercepted and broken up by the King’s men. In all, about 150 Puritans managed to make their way to Holland.

The congregation realized their children were growing more Dutch as the years passed and they feared eventual extinction if they remained.

At the same time, if they returned to England, they would be forced to join the state Church. So they cut a deal with King James. He granted them a charter to set up a colony in the New World north of the existing Virginia territory to be called “New England.”

There were one hundred and two passengers aboard the Mayflower when she set sail from England on September 16, 1620. By the time land was sighted on November 10, they had lost one crew member and one passenger.

Six months later, only forty-seven colonists had survived, together with about half the Mayflower crew.

From those humble beginnings in that tiny New England colony emerged the richest, most powerful nation the world has ever seen.

Despite historical revisionism, the Founding Fathers were overwhelmingly Christian. The so called ’separation clause’ was never intended to ban religion from the public arena. It was to prevent the imposition of a state religion which was, after all, the whole reason for coming to America in the first place.

The 1st Amendment says “Congress shall make no laws regarding the establishment of religion or prohibit the free exercise thereof.” Given the historical context in which the 1st Amendment was drafted, it is IMPOSSIBLE to believe the Founders intended to banish Jesus, God and the Bible from American life.

It is darned hard to read it that way even today. It forbids Congress from enacting laws establishing religion. But it also forbids Congress from prohibiting the free exercise of religion.

In addition, the 1st Amendment guarantees the right to freedom of speech, freedom of the press, the right of people to peaceably assemble and the right to petition the government for redress of grievances.

It is worth noting that interpreting freedom OF religion as freedom FROM religion actually impinges on every other right guaranteed by the 1st Amendment, effectively nullifying both its application and intent.

If I am not free to preach from the Bible on public property, I am not free. Legal theory notwithstanding, in point of fact I am prohibited from the free exercise of religion. It also impinges on my right to free speech and my right to peaceably assemble.

The fact that these restrictions are limited to public lands is irrelevant and makes the prohibitions even more egregious since ‘public land’ — by definition — belongs to all of us.
(Indeed, public places are the ONLY places covered by the 1st Amendment. What is done on private property is protected by the Fourth Amendment, not the First.)

The second sentence of the Declaration of Independence specifically says my rights under the 1st Amendment are God-given and outside of the governments authority.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

Notice that the Founders not only believed in the Creator, they were echoing Paul’s letter to the Romans, saying the existence of the Creator is ’self-evident’.
“For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, [because they are self-evident] being understood by the things that are made, [including the Founders] even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they [and all of us who came afterward] are without excuse.” (Romans 1:20)

America’s reliance on the Creator was the secret to her greatness. President John Adams said of the Constitution that it was “designed for a moral and religious people and wholly unsuited to any other.”

An immoral and irreligious people would find too much of it objectionable for it to long survive.

Assessment:
The Fourth of July is America’s birthday and a time of celebration unlike any other in the Republic. It used to be the day we thanked God for our blessings, before thanking God became illegal under certain circumstances, especially for students at graduations.
“And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient.” (Romans 1:28)
Fast forward two-hundred and thirty-three years to July 4th, 2009. Things aren’t looking so good. There is no doubt that America is in decline. How did that happen? When did it start? What can we do about it?

A look at the high points and low points of American history is instructive in this regard. America was founded by men seeking freedom to worship God directly instead of worshipping the state masquerading itself as God. America prospered but her continuing existence was threatened by the immorality of slavery.

America’s lowest point was also her highest. When Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, the preservation of the Union was still very much in doubt. But from the moment slavery was abolished, her fortunes began to turn.

By the end of the 19th century, America had begun to be numbered among the world’s great nations. By the middle of the 20th century, America was the greatest single nation on the face of the earth.

England, which had been the world’s only superpower for four hundred years, lost the title as a consequence of the Second World War. But it sowed the seeds of its own decline twenty years earlier.

In 1917, Lord Balfour issued his famous proclamation granting the newly-captured territory of Palestine to the Jews as a “Jewish homeland.” At the time of the Balfour Declaration, the outcome of WWI was still very much in doubt.

Within a year, the Kaiser was vanquished and England owned most of the Middle East, including the Holy Land.

Once in possession, however, the Crown turned on the Jews, took away most of the Balfour land grant and severely restricted Jewish immigration.

Twenty years later, the British Empire stood in ruins as America was joined by only the second nation on earth to acknowledge God as the midwife responsible for its birth.
As America’s support for Israel increased, both nations prospered.

By the beginning of the last decade of the 20th century, both nations had peaked. Israel had become one of the ten wealthiest and most militarily powerful nations on earth.

The First Gulf War established America as the worlds’s undisputed leader and only superpower. Her lopsided victory over what had been considered the world’s fifth largest standing army in Iraq in 1991 led to the dissolution of the Soviet Union by the end of that same year.

In 1991,the world was in awe of America and her fortunes couldn’t have been higher. It is hard to recapture the feeling, but remember when the biggest worry facing America was how best to spend the ‘peace dividend?’

Then, in 1993 Bill Clinton involved the United States in the Oslo Land for Peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians.

On September 13, 1993 Bill Clinton urged Yitzhak Rabin to take the blood-stained hand of Yasser Arafat on the Rose Garden lawn, setting into motion the systematic dismantling of Eretz Yisrael.

“And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.” (Zechariah 12:3)

It is no coincidence that 1993 also the year that terror first came to America’s shores with the first bombing of the World Trade Center. Later that same year, the United States was forced to withdraw from Somalia after one of the most humiliating defeats in US history.

As America withdrew from Somalia in disarray, Osama bin Laden began the construction of terrorist training camps in Sudan.

Two days short of the eight year anniversary of that Rose Garden signing ceremony, 19 Muslim males between the ages of 17 and 35 hijacked four domestic aircraft and destroyed NY’s Twin Towers and severely damaged the US Pentagon.

The final death toll from the attack was 2,985 civilians — more than the number of US casualties at Pearl Harbor in 1941.

Eight years later, America is still at war. Her infrastructure is crumbling, her cities in disrepair. Her industrial base is imploding, her economy is in shambles. On this 4th of July, one in ten Americans is out of work and one in five is underemployed.
Sixteen years after Oslo, the Middle East is more volatile than it was when we starting backing Israel’s dismemberment as a viable peace plan. America’s standing among the nations has never been lower.

The country stands on the brink of economic depression, friendless, in debt and hopelessly entangled in a war specifically sparked by America’s involvement in Oslo, according to bin Laden’s 1998 declaration of war against the West
.
This is easily the most depressing 4th of July message I’ve ever presented. I am so very sorry for that.

(Part of the reason today’s OL went out so late was because I kept trying to come up with a different message for today. But this is the only one the Lord would give me.)
I pray that someway, somehow, America will again heed the promise of 2nd Chronicles 7:14:
“If My people, which are called by My name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”

But with Barack Obama in the White House, humbling ourselves as a nation before God seems pretty unlikely.

There HAS to be some good news for this 4th of July, something to hang on to as we enjoy the hot dogs and ice cream and fireworks. And there is.

As bad as things are, they also serve as evidence that our God is still on the Throne and that He keeps His Word.

He promised to bless them that blessed Israel and curse them that curse Israel. He promised that any nation who involved itself with Jerusalem would be cut in pieces.
We did. And we are.

But He also promised that when those things prophesied for the last days began to come to pass, that it was a signal to look up and lift up our heads, for our redemption draws near.

When its bad news, God keeps His promises. He also keeps His promises when it is good news. The Lord is coming. He’s coming soon. He promised.

“Wherefore, comfort one another with these words.”

Paul Tripp wrote in Psalm 73: The Destiny Hermenuetic[1]:

…Human beings do not live life based on the facts of their existence, but based on their interpretations of the facts…

…everyone pushes life through the sieve of the personal worldview that they have built for themselves. This worldview is authoritative and life shaping. It does not determine what we see so much as it determines how we see it.

This interpretive function is called hermeneutics. Hermeneutics is the science of interpretation. You carry around with you your own personal life hermeneutic; that is, your particular way of making sense out of life. Now let me take this one step further. Your hermeneutic is what gives sense to your behavior. Everything you do and say has underlying meaning and purpose when understood from the vantage point of your worldview.

Tripp later says:  Asaph’s problem was a defective hermeneutic.

That’s what we all have, isn’t it?  But where do we get a new hermeneutic through which to understand life?  To understand God?

Where do we go for those words of eternal life?[2]

We find, not just interpretation, but truth in the person of Jesus Christ.  He is the One to whom we go for truth; truth that will be a rock on which to build our lives, so that when those storms and floods of life come, the house of our life will stand.  In no area of understanding is truth more important than the truth of seeing and knowing God as He is.

The Bible speaks of God the Father, yet fewer truths are more difficult to believe and be at rest in because, while for some, calling God our Father is a wonderful thing, for many of us it is a struggle and brings with it painful memories of our earthly father. Read the rest of this entry »

This debate takes about two hours of your time, so if you want to view it and can’t watch it all at once just pause it when you have to and minimize it so you can come back to it later.

Some questions to ponder while watching this:

In the first place, Turek cheerfully admits that he believes in the “Big Bang” explanation for the origin of the universe.

The reason? Because atheists also believe in the Big Bang.
Which means they also have to believe that means the universe began from a point of literal, non-physical nothingness. Before that, there was no time, no space, and no matter and then it all banged into existence out of nothing with great precision.

That admission creates a major problem for the atheist worldview. Why couldn’t natural forces be responsible for the creation of the universe? Because until the universe came into being, there was no nature.

Think about this for a second. It means the cause of the universe must be something beyond nature—something we would call supernatural. It also means that the supernatural cause of the universe must at least be:
1) spaceless, because it created space; 2) timeless, because it created time; 3) immaterial, because it created matter; 4) powerful, because it created out of nothing; 5) intelligent, because the creation event and the universe was precisely designed; and, 6) personal, because it made a choice to convert a state of nothing into something.

Hitchens’ response was considerably less than inspiring. He said the argument was ’speculative’ — since nobody could be there before the beginning.

THIS is where atheism proves itself to be a religion.

It operates on blind faith. Hitchen’s admission that the universe HAS a beginning demands an explanation for what came before. Nothing can erupt from nothing.

Hitchens couldn’t refute the obvious fact that there had to be something BEFORE the Big Bang. Before there was space. Before there was time. Before there was matter.

Hitchens admits the evidence, but then mocks where it leads because it would contradict his own blind religious faith. It isn’t speculative to say that since all time, space and matter had a beginning, it must also have had a Beginner.

Since space, time and matter were created via the Big Bang, then it logically follows that the Cause of the Big Bang must be spaceless, timeless and immaterial.

To support his argument, Turek quotes Dr. Robert Jastrow, the director of the Mount Wilson Observatory until his death.
“There is a kind of religion in science . . . every effect must have its cause; there is no First Cause. . . . This religious faith of the scientist is violated by the discovery that the world had a beginning under conditions in which the known laws of physics are not valid, and as a product of forces or circumstances we cannot discover. When that happens, the scientist has lost control. If he really examined the implications, he would be traumatized. As usual when faced with trauma, the mind reacts by ignoring the implications—in science this is known as “refusing to speculate.”

In any other category except atheism, it would be known as “blind faith.” Atheists call it ‘rational thought’. (Jack Kinsella, Omega Letter)

Reading stories like this just makes me shake my head at scoffers and smile at earthly confirmation God is revealing more and more to unbelievers that He is real and so is His Holy Word, the Bible.

HIRBET QEIYAFA, Israel — An Israeli archaeologist digging at a hilltop south of Jerusalem believes a ceramic shard found in the ruins of an ancient town bears the oldest Hebrew inscription ever discovered, a find that could provide an important glimpse into the culture and language of the Holy Land at the time of the Bible.

The five lines of faded characters written 3,000 years ago, and the ruins of the fortified settlement where they were found, are indications that a powerful Israelite kingdom existed at the time of the Old Testament’s King David, says Yossi Garfinkel, the Hebrew University archaeologist in charge of the new dig at Hirbet Qeiyafa.

Other scholars are hesitant to embrace Garfinkel’s interpretation of the finds, made public on Thursday.

Why is it such a surprise to learn Jews lived in Israel when the Bible says they did?

I am constantly told by non-believers the Bible is just a collection of stories written by unknown men and is not literal. Then they insist I “prove” God exists. Duh! Look out the window and take in nature. Try to tell me it all happened by chance.

A couple of weeks ago I read that scientists now believe (at least some of them) that there is a void around the earth and that void is protecting us from objects in space. I immediately thought of Genesis 1, the story of creation and the first two verses of that book: In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

If you want to know more about past, present and future happenings in the world just go to the Bible. The answers are all there if you have the eyes to read and the open mind and heart to understand.

None of these things surprise me. It only surprises me that I seem to be in the minority of people in this world, and getting that way in our country, who believes God and His Word. It disappoints me more than surprising me because I hate for someone to die and not know Christ and our Wonderful God Who loved us so much He became man while still God and shed His Godly and righteous blood that you and I can have the fellowship with Him that He has always wanted with us, but will not force upon us. We have the free will to accept or reject His message of love and salvation.

There can be no compromises. There is one God and only one way to heaven. That one way is through confession of our sins and acceptance of Jesus as God’s begotten Son, Who gave up His physical life, went to the depths of Hades, and rescued the righteous and took those souls to heaven. Until then they had been in a “holding area” of Hades because the souls couldn’t go to heaven until Jesus shed His blood.

If there is no God then we have been fooled for all our history. If I’m wrong what will happen other than I will die as a pet does and just rot in the earth? If I’m right, and I’m positive I am, I’m on my way to a place much more beautiful than this planet in all its glory.

If you are not a believer and you are right then you, too, will just rot after you die and become fertilizer. But if you are wrong…You will spend the rest of eternity in torment reserved for Satan for his rebellion. And don’t think you’ll see your buddies there because they will be in the same torment and pain and won’t have the energy to recognize you, if there is any light for them to see you. Think about it, and then pray and go to your Bible or to Bible Gateway and read the Book of John, first.

May the Holy Spirit of God open your eyes and your hearts. You’ll never again agonize over what’s going to happen because you will know there is a plan of God for everything.

I was sent the following video in an email and it disturbed me so much I thought I’d share it with any readers who may care to watch it.

So, when Oprah was about 27 years old she went to church early one morning and listened to a very charasmatic preacher. She was caught up in all the feel-good things the preacher had to say but was turned off and disturbed when she apparently heard for the first time that God is a jealous God.

Apparently, rather than go to the preacher or one of the ministerial staff for answers to her questions so she could understand what was said, she just drifted around for over 20 years, upset that God is a jealous God.

I’m not being sarcastic when I say if she had just discovered at age 27 that our God is a jealous God then what was she doing for those 27 years, most of them spent in a Baptist church? Was she not paying attention, or was she paying attention only to the things that made her feel good and discarding the uncomfortable things?

Things such as Jesus saying He is the Way the Truth and the Life and no man comes to the Father but by Him (Jesus). Things such as “You must be born again”? Did she miss the uncomfortable story Jesus told of the poor man named Lazarus who was in the bosom of Abraham while the rich man who fed him the scraps from his table was in hell? Did she miss the part that Jesus actually told us of a literal hell in that passage? And it’s interesting to note it is not a parable or Jesus would have said “Listen to the parable of Lazarus and the rich man.”?

This story is found in Luke 16:19-31 (NIV)

19″There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day. 20At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores 21and longing to eat what fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.

22″The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried. 23In hell,[a] where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. 24So he called to him, ‘Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.’

25″But Abraham replied, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony. 26And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.’

27″He answered, ‘Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my father’s house, 28for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’

29″Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.’

30″ ‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’

31″He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’ “

Exodus 20:5 tells us the context in which God declares Himself to be a jealous God:

5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,

(NIV)

Yes, Oprah, and anyone else who does not believe and does not know in what context God is jealous, God is a jealous God. He wants no other gods before Him. He is the Only God and there is none before Him or after Him.

He is not jealous of Oprah or any other human being unless we hold that human being to be higher than God is. God is jealous of anything we put above Him and make a god.

Exodus 20 shows us the Ten Commandments. Read the very first commandment and the punishment for disobeying it:

1 And God spoke all these words:
2 “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.

3 “You shall have no other gods before [a] me.

4 “You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but showing love to a thousand {generations} of those who love me and keep my commandments.

He’s not jealous of you, Oprah, but He is jealous of what you put ahead of Him now.

It is my prayer that Oprah Winfrey and anyone else who believes there is no real Being called God Who is The Creator, is ominscient, omnipotent and all the other adjectives given to Him by Himself, will be awakened to the Spirit of God and cast aside the false gods and accept God’s Only begotten Son Jesus as their Savior and Lord, because there is something on the other side of death. We are not meant to not exist after this life. There are only two places we can go, and all the money Oprah has is not enough to keep her from hell if she has not accepted Jesus as her Savior and Lord.

Sometimes I just think this world is going to hell in a handbasket, and I long for the day when I will be in God’s Eternal Kingdom and no longer have to worry about what’s going on in this world.

I feel that God has begun to withdraw His blessing from our own country and yet I pray for the sake of the believers He will not completely withdraw His blessing from us.

We turn our heads and look the other way on sin that God declared is sin from the beginning of our awareness of Him. We try to justify it as being a sign of modern times and modern thinking, but if God said it was wrong a million years ago it’s still wrong today.

We allow our unborn to be killed in utero because it’s the woman’s body. Guess what? Our bodies are God’s and not ours.

Yet, because we are human, we constantly sin. That’s why we should go to Him daily confessing our sins in order to be sanctified by Him. Sanctification is not something you can grab onto and keep unless you treat your mind and body as God wants you to treat it. It does not affect your salvation, but we are to be as pure as possible before our Lord. That’s why we pray for forgiveness of our sins, and we do it daily.

Our bodies are not our own and when people realize that maybe we can get back on track.

Unfortunately I just see us getting worse with demands of same-sex marriage, pedophilia, doing anything that is pleasurable to us and nothing that is pleasing to God, our Creator.

I have felt strongly about these issues for a long time.

I was distressed to read that Israeli Vice Premier Haim Ramon wants to cede part of control of Jerusalem to the Palestinian Authority.

“The government does not have a majority (to support) Haim Ramon’s opinions on anything to do with Jerusalem,” Pensioners Party Chairman Rafi Eitan said Tuesday following the exposure of the vice premier’s letter calling for the division of Jerusalem and the establishment of joint sovereignty over the city’s holy sites.

I totally agree with that statement.

Where does this man get off thinking he can give away one grain of sand of the land given to the Jews by God Almighty Himself? He holds the deed to that property and Jesus even instructed us to pray for peace in Jerusalem, the city He loves so much.

There will never be real peace in that city until Jesus sets foot on it again, but praying for the peace in Jerusalem is something I do daily.

Israelis shed their blood and lost their sons and daughters in battles brought against them when they recaptured the land that had been taken from them for 2000 years.

Since the election of Olmert we are seeing a policy which is disturbing in that he seems willing to bend over backwards to do the bidding of the Palestinians, all in the name of a peace that will never come.

The Palestinians and all Muslims are sworn to destroy Israel. Not just destroy it, but push the people into the sea.

Now it seems members of the government are doing their level best to see to it the Palestinians get their way.

I’m not an Israeli citizen so I have no say in their internal affairs, but I can say I hope someone who is stronger against the threats to Israel will get elected and soon.

I have read reports Olmert is even considering granting the right of return to Palestinians who left Israel of their own accord when the state of Israel was re-created.

These people or their ancestors were given the opportunity in 1948 to remain in their homes on their property and become a part of Israel.

They can be elected to the Knesset and enjoy full citizenship. That’s for those who decided to stay. The others left and gave up any claim to the land when they did.

If they were to get the right of return to Israel it wouldn’t be long before they would take over the government and run the Jews into the sea.

I don’t see God allowing that to happen.

The Anchoress is asking for prayers for her in-laws.

Both are suffering from medical problems, but her father-in-law has been taken to the hospital for emergency surgery. This is, naturally, difficult on his wife and the entire family.

Please pray for God’s Will to be done and, if it is His Will, to heal the father-in-law. Pray that the surgeon’s hands will be guided by those of God Himself as the surgeon operates on this man.

Thank you.

I don’t call it the Big Bang but I call it Creation. Some people don’t believe in Creation and prefer to call it Intelligent Design.

I’m no physicist and don’t pretend to understand their mathmetical equations that prove anything, but they have the brain power to do so.

Here is an excerpt from an article at Space.com talking about looking beyond the Big Bang to see what was there.

Scientists could spot clues in the present day of what the cosmos looked like previously. If evidence of the past persisted after the Big Bang, its influence could be spotted in astronomical observations and computational models, Bojowald explained.

However, Bojowald also figures some knowledge of the past was irrevocably lost. For instance, the sheer size of the present universe would suppress precise knowledge of how the universe changed in size before the Big Bang, he said.

“It came as a big surprise that some properties of the universe before the Big Bang may have only such a weak influence on current observations that they are practically undetermined,” Bojowald said of findings detailed online July 1 in the journal Nature Physics.

One implication of this “cosmic forgetfulness,” as Bojowald calls it, is that history does not repeat itself-the fundamental properties of the current era of the universe are different from the last, Bojowald explained. “It’s as if the universe forgot some of its properties and acquired new properties independent of what it had before,” he told SPACE.com.

“The eternal recurrence of absolutely identical universes would seem to be prevented by the apparent existence of an intrinsic cosmic forgetfulness,” he added.

The only way this sinner saved by Grace can explain the Big Bang is God said it and Bang! It was done.
