Gap Cover is more vital than ever before, to avoid families putting themselves at risk of getting into debt over outstanding medical expense shortfalls.

NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT THIS BEFORE!!

I have always thought that Noah was safe inside the Ark because he built it according to God's specifications. I thought that perhaps it was the strength of the gopher wood and the soundness of the architecture that ensured that the waters of the flood would not come into the Ark.

But today I encountered a verse that shifted this whole paradigm.
Let's read what Gen 7:16 says .." The animals going in were male and female of every living thing as God had commanded Noah..
THEN GOD SHUT HIM IN....

Don't miss this.... even after Noah had built the Ark, it was God Himself who shut him in, in order to shut out the waters of the flood... In other translations this verse says "The Lord sealed them inside."

May the Almighty God seal us inside His Ark of protection through this last quarter of 2020, and each day after and forever.

It is not the fact that you have locked your house that keeps you safe at night, it is not your good driving skills that keeps you safe on the road, neither it's your healthy eating habits that keeps you healthy - only God can shut you in and shut out the devil that is seeking to devour you.

Father we pray that in this last quarter of the year, as we walk into the streets and as we drive on the roads, God shut us in. Father we pray for our children that in the midst of dangers and molesters... You will shut them in, keep out the flood waters of abuse, r**e, murder, accidents, diseases and untimely death... God shut us in, shut us in your Ark of protection , into your Ark of compassion.. 🙌🏽
Amen

Helderberg Nature Reserve has a wonderful program for kids called Ecorangers. As you can imagine, the kids had loads of questions about the beached whale. Wendy, who runs this initiative kindly gave SWNW permission to post these questions and answers:

I trust many of you took the opportunity to visit and see the humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) washed up at Strand yesterday.
Some researchers were checking out the carcass while city staff planned how to move the massive creature away.

Some questions I have been sent:

1. Do these whales usually come to South Africa?

They are frequent visitors along the coast of South Africa. They are known for their playful antics and curiosity. The Humpback Whale is acrobatic, and spectators can often watch it emerging from the water and splashing. They are favourites to be seen by whale watchers between the months of July and December.

Every year, humpback whales undergo incredible migrations between feeding and breeding grounds. They feed near the poles and give birth in the tropics, and each year, individual humpback whales travel as much as 25,000 km) between these two areas. Humpback whales only eat in their winter feeding grounds and live off fat reserves for the rest of the year, including while migrating.

2. Was this one fully grown?
The adult Humpback Whale can reach an average length of 11.5 to 17 m. This one seemed small to me. They can weigh a few tonnes - usually 25 to 40 tonnes. That is massive.

So was this one fully grown? I don't think so. One of the researchers estimated around 20 to 25 years. They can live from 80 to 90 years.

3. Why did this creature die? That is a tough question. I honestly do not know. It seems its life was cut short. The researchers did say it could be due to Seismic blasting. They are not yet sure. They will run a few tests to determine the cause of death.

Seismic blasting can harm everything from tiny zooplankton and fish to dolphins and whales.
See more here:
https://www.biologicaldiversity.org/campaigns/seismic_blasting/

The whale will be removed as it poses a health and safety issue. The City of Cape Town staff were planning to move the carcass and bury it.

The scientific name for humpback whales, Megaptera, translates to “big-winged” in reference to their long pectoral fins. These fins can be up to 5 m in length.
