FAITH - LOVE & OBEDIENCE - [SW-29] - 13 December 2017  (From the desk of Celia Joy Martins)

 

FAITH is SPIRITUAL - it is REAL (spiritual) FACT (TRUTH) - HOPE - PEACE - LOVE  - It is REVELATION in the SPIRIT  not REVEALED to the NATURAL SENSES. (Heb. 11:1).

In the "FLESHLY" MIND/SOUL - FAITH - MAKES NO SENSE

 

FAITH is ALSO OBEDIENCE - to the WORD of YAH (G-d) - TRUSTING IN AND ON  the WORD of YAH - to KNOW that YAHSHUA the MESSIAH - IS the WORD (John 1:1 "In the beginning, [BEFORE ALL time] WAS the WORD (MESSIAH YAHSHUA) and the WORD WAS WITH YAH (G-d), and the WORD WAS YHWH Himself."

 

"SHEMA" (OBEDIENCE): OBEDIENCE defined in the Hebrew language - is "SHEMA" - with a DOUBLE MEANING - HEAR AND OBEY or HEARING AND OBEYING.

 

"HYPAKOE": It comes from the Original Hebrew Picture Word G5218 "Hypakoe" - meaning ATTENTIVE (focused, concentrated, observant, paying special attention) HEARKENING (respectful attention in listening) coming from G5219, G5218, G5255 and G5293.

 

OBEDIENCE also means to be in COMPLIANCE (falling in line; into obedience) - SUBMISSION (being OBEDIENT in TOTAL SURRENDER) - AGREEMENT (being in an UNDERSTANDING of COVENANT or TREATY or ARRANGEMENT) -  RESPECT (in ADMIRATION, REVERANCE, VENERATION) and with MEEKNESS  (QUIETNESS, GENTLENESS, HUMILITY, MODESTY, FEARFULLNESS, SUBMISSIVENESS) in HEARING and OBEYING.

 

CHILD OF YAH - OBEDIENCE to the WORD OF YAH IS NOT AN OPTION: THERE IS NO MIDDLE WAY. We are either OBEDIENT or DISOBEDIENT. Walking in OBEDIENCE to the WORD - FOLLOWING MESSIAH'S COMMANDS - HIS TEACHINGS - the COMMANDMENTS of the OLD COVENANT (Testament) - IS CRUCIAL. IT is the ESSENCE of the BELIEVER in MESSIAH'S spiritual "WALK" (journey). And WHEN you WALK in OBEDIENCE to the MASTER - HE REWARDS you, for HE IS A REWARDER - Heb. 11:6 "... HE is the REWARDER (a consequence that happens to someone as a result of WORTHY [or UNWORTHY] BEHAVIOR) of THOSE WHO EARNESTLY [sincerely, seriously, intently, deeply, strongly] SEEK HIM."

 

HOT or COLD:

WALKING the MESSIANIC WALK  (in OBEDIENCE) is to WALK IN HIS BLESSINGS but when you are walking in DISOBEDIENCE in NOT FOLLOWING the WORD of YAH - YOU are automatically be walking in the WRONG KINGDOM - the kingdom of darkness. There are NO OTHER spiritual kingdoms - You will automatically activate curses!  THERE IS NO MIDDLE WAY. You are either COLD OR HOT!

 

FAITH - LOVE - OBEDIENCE -

TO LOVE HIM is to OBEY HIM:

James, the "brother" of YAHSHUA says in James 1:22 "... BE DOERS of the WORD AND NOT HEARERS ONLY, DECEIVING YOURSELVES."

 

MESSIAH YAHSHUA SAYS in the GOSPEL of John: (John 14:15)  "If you [REALLY] LOVE Me, you WILL KEEP (OBEY) My COMMANDS (commandments)." To KEEP (OBEY) HIS COMMANDMENTS is to HEAR it AND DO it (OBEY it).

 

LUKE-WARMNESS:

SADLY, many many  many professing believers (Christians) are WALKING IN LUKE-WARMNESS. Many, many 'churches' AND their CONGREGATION - are walking the path of the wrong kingdom - walking a walk of BONDAGE in TRADITION rather than the TRUTH of YAH'S WORD - walking a walk of BONDAGES in RELIGION and CULTURE rather than walking in the TRUTH of YAHWEH GOD.

 

Many church-going people are walking their lives in the BONDAGES of SECRET ORGANIZATIONS like FREEMASONRY - BROTHERHOODS or has GENERATIONAL TIES to the BONDAGES of these SECRET ORGANIZATIONS (Ossewa Brandwag - Die Broederbond - AWB - etc).

 

These SECRET ORGANIZATIONS has its ROOTS in the OCCULT. Unfortunately the three Sisters churches in South Africa (Nederduits Gereformeerde - Hervomde en Gereformeerde) + (Afrikaanse Protestantse Kerke) were FOUNDED  in Freemasonry. It was BUILT on Freemasonry - the way the structures (church-buildings) were erected with its PHALLIC (erected 'manhood') church-towers - the FOCUS on the ALTAR (Pulpit and the minister of faith) - even the first Logo of the NG Church in the Cape of Good Hope - reflected "the LADY of the sea" (Semiramis of ancient Babylon) sitting on an square "ASHLAR - masonic" cube (altar) - with a TAU (Catholic cross with a long shaft - to do with the fertility goddess - Semiramis (Queen Ishtar/Easter of Babylon) - FLOATING on MANY WATERS with the SUN in the BACKGROUND (SON-SUN-god).

 

 

 

Many a church globally also here in Australia has occult symbolism displayed on their logos. Symbolism that were actively in use in ancient Babylon and also in the Roman and Egyptian culture of idolatry and the world religions  - worshipping false gods, gods of the sun moon and stars (starry-hosts) - ALL of it SATANISM in disguise.

 

Chi-Ro Symbol:

 

CONSTANTINE AGAIN: The king of Rome Constantine the "Great" - the 'author' of 'Christianity' (mixture of Paganism and Messianic beliefs) had pondered on the misfortunes on the battlefield and was seeking divine aid in the battles that was to come. "Miraculously he then saw the APPEARANCE of a CROSS IMPOSED OVER the SUN and ATTACHED TO IT THE GREEK CHARACTERS "Tovtw Nika" The following night he had a dream that he should put the symbol he had seen on the  SHIELDS of HIS SOLDIERS and that the SYMBOL WOULD BE A SURE DEFENSE IN THE COMING BATTLES.

 

The OLD SERPENT WORKING AGAIN: This symbol that Constantine saw in his vision was nothing new. It was used in ancient Babylon (Babel) in their pagan religion in worshipping their starry-host gods especially the son-sun-god.

 

The Chi-Ro cross' angle is representative of the "chi" the "soul, life-force, essence, inner self" formed by the solar (planetary, astral) ecliptic - the path the sun's annual motion relative to the stars - shown as a circle passing through the center of the imaginary celestial sphere containing all the astronomical objects.

 

Eclipses of the SUN or MOON can OCCUR ONLY when the MOON CROSSES the ecliptic path and the celestial (heavenly holy, spiritual, godly, otherworldly, saintly, cosmic, planetary, galactic, solar) equator (the imaginary great circle around the earth that is the  same distance from the North and the South Poles and divides Earth into the northern and southern hemispheres.)

 

This symbol is found on many pagan religious artifacts such as ancient pagan altars etc. It is found on Roman coins. It was also the symbol of the visible god in the sky for some it was PLUTO/PLATO or the SUN and symbolic of the Milky Way and the Zodiac Light. The Chi-Ro Cross' angle is representative of the 'chi' formed by the solar ecliptic path and the celestial equator.

 

The CROSS:

The symbol of the Cross as the "sign" of Christianity is yet another of Constantine of Rome's DECEPTIONS that flowed into the world. The CROSS SYMBOL is WIDELY USED by all - Christian and Secular communities - even in the African forefather spirit worshipping and by Satanists. The word that was translated into the Bible as CROSS - should have been STAKE coming from the Original Hebrew Picture Word G4716 "Stauros" meaning a STAKE or a POLE.

 

From the Jewish Scriptural Bible Luke 23:26 "And as they led Him away, they laid hold of a certain man, Simeon a Cyrenian, who was coming from the field, and they put THE STAKE on him ..."

From the Complete Jewish Scriptures: Luke 23:26 "As the Roman soldiers led Yahshua away, they grabbed hold of a man from Cyrene name Shimeon, who was on his way in from the country. They put the EXECUTION STAKE on his back and made him carry it behind Yahshua."

 

Yet again - the word cross was introduced into the Scriptures by the early Catholic church CONSTANTINE - and also with mistranslations with the translation of the St. James Bible coming from ancient Babylon.

​

 

The PLAIN CROSS:

The CROSS at 90-degree RIGHT ANGLE - PAGAN SYMBOL OF LIFE:

It is ONE OF THE MOST ANCIENT WORSHIPPING (EXALTED) HUMAN (WRITTEN AND RECOGNIZED) SYMBOLS REPRESENTING the SUN(god) and was USED in WORSHIP in ancient Babylon (Babel) as the SYMBOL OF LIFE.

 

The sign in its simplest form is two bars/lines crossing each other and was used in ancient Babylon (Babel) SYMBOLIZING the SUN-GOD NIMROD (Baal, Molek, Jupiter, Zeus etc.) and the Queen of Babel Semiramus (Asherah, Ishtar/Easter, Ashtoreth, Brigid, Diana, Briganthia, Victoria etc.)

 

The FOUR POINTS of the cross symbolizes the FOUR "CORNERS" of the EARTH - NORTH, SOUTH, EAST and WEST (also used in Freemasonry etc.) The VERTICAL and HORIZONTAL BEAMS COMING TOGETHER imply TWO POWERFUL JOINT FORCES - BAAL and ASHERAH (the SONgod and MOONgoddess). It SYMBOLIZES the JOINT SEXUAL ACT of MANHOOD and WOMANHOOD.

 

The CROSS was ADOPTED and ABSORBED INTO all other religions and cults inclusive of Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism etc.

 

OBELISKS - PHALLIC MONUMENTS:

A phallus is the erected manhood and symbolizes the fertility and cultural implications associated with the male sexual organ as well as the male orgasm. In Greek mythology the phallic god is HERMES (god of boundaries and exchange - also the messenger god, and the fertility god.) Hermes is represented on pillars, featuring a phallus. PAN is the SON of HERMES represented with EXAGGERATED PHALLUS, also PRIAPUS (also a god of fertility). In structural buildings pillars were used as part of the architecture. The pillar, manhood's place of CONTACT INTO the construction, is the womanhood. The womanhood is often represented as a wreath or a ring/circle implicating the goddess of fertility.

​

 

 

THE PAGAN NUMBER THREE SYMBOL:

  

This symbol also originated from ancient Babylon and travelled into the world into all relgions.

In ancient Babylon it represented the "GODS" :

FIRE-god (Nimrod)  WATER-god (Semiramis)  GOD OF WIND (Tammuz)

SUN-god (Nimrod) MOONGOD/DESS (Semiramis)) GOD of the STARS (Tammuz)

 

 

It is symbolic of:

The SON - MOON - STARS

LIFE - DEATH - REBIRTH

MOTHER - FATHER - CHILD

PAST - PRESENT - FUTURE

CREATOR - DESTROYER - SUSTAINER

POWER - INTELLECT - LOVE

MOTHER - MAIDEN - CRONE (insulting word for an old woman)

SPIRIT - MIND - BODY

 

LUKEWARMNESS in the LATTER DAYS:

IN the LAST DAYS: TROUBLESOME TIMES - DANGEROUS - EXTREME:

In the Book of 2 Timothy, the apostle Paul talks about the LAST of the days when we will live in (PERILOUS) - DANGEROUS, UNSAFE, RISKY, TERRIFYING, EXTREME, EXPOSED, HAZARDOUD  TIMES of GREAT STRESS AND TROUBLE  - HARD to DEAL WITH and HARD to BEAR (2 Tim 3:1).

 

Some Superficial Christians - in the churches:

Superficiality defined: Insincere - dishonest - two-faced - hypocritical - deceitful - untrustworthy - cunning - lying - falsehearted - cheating - undependable - disloyal - not to be trusted - not to be relied on - conniving - sly - devious - double-dealing - phony - false - shallow - artificial -  phony - only 'skin' deep.

 

Paul describes a time of living (LAST DAYS) when the behavior of the people will be EXTREME with EXTREME LIFESTYLES  even (and more specifically) under the PROFESSING "BELIEVERS" (Christians) in the 'church'. He is describing a SUPERFICIAL believer living in his/her superficial Christianity. A lifestyle that SUITS the world - FOCUSED on 'SELF' - SELF PLEASURE - SELF LOVE - LOVE for MONEY and LUSTING after WEALTH.

 

In verse 2 Paul describes some 'church' people as utterly SELF-CENTERED - AROUSED by GREED - PROUD - ARROGANT - CONTEMPTUOUS BOASTERS - ABUSIVE - SCOFFING - BLASPHEMOUS - children that would be DISOBEDIENT to their parents, UNGRATEFUL - UNHOLY and PROFANE. (2 Tim. 3:2)

 

Paul goes on saying that these people will be WITHOUT NATURAL [HUMAN] AFFECTION - CALLOUS AND INHUMAN - RELENTLESS - ADMITTING of NO TRUCE or APPEASEMENT. They will be SLANDERERS - FALSE ACCUSERS - TROUBLEMAKERS - INTEMPERATE AND LOOSE IN MORALS AND CONDUCT - UNCONTROLLED AND FIERCE, HATERS OF GOOD.  TREACHEROUS - BETRAYERS - RASH and INFLATED WITH SELF-CONCEIT. LOVERS OF SENSUAL PLEASURES AND VAIN AMUSEMENTS MORE THAN AND RATHER THAN LOVERS OF YAH. (2 Tim 3:3-4)

 

FALSENESS in the church - AVOID such people:

Then Paul said that these people will HOLD A "FORM of PIETY" (true Godliness, faithfulness, Holiness, Devotion Religiousness)  but they would DENY AND REJECT AND are STRANGERS to the POWER of it - so their CONDUCT BELIES the GENUINENESS of that what they PROFESS. Paul tells us in 2 Tim. 3:5 to DISTANCE ourselves from such people - these church-going people - people professing that they are believers but are lying about their status  - "AVOID ALL SUCH PEOPLE [TURN AWAY FROM THEM]".

 

TO THE SEVEN ASSEMBIES (churches):

The Revelations of John was written to the *SEVEN ASSEMBLIES (churches) (*Note: The number 7 again - YHWH's number of COMPLETION  AND PERFECTION - both physical and spiritually) in Asia Minor and to ALL BELIEVERS.

 

Rev. 3:13 "HE WHO CAN HEAR, LET HIM HEAR (LISTEN attentively) AND HEED (OBEY) what the SPIRIT says to the ASSEMBLIES (churches).

 

:14 ... to the angel (messenger) of the ASSEMBLY (church) in Laodicea write: These are the words of the Amen, the trusty and faithful and true Witness, the Origin and Beginning and AUTHOR of YAH'S CREATION:

 

:15 I KNOW your [RECORD of works] and what you are doing; YOU ARE NEITHER COLD NOR HOT!

 

:16 So, BECAUSE you are LUKEWARM AND NEITHER COLD NOR HOT, I WILL SPIT YOU OUT OF MY MOUTH!

 

:17 For you say, I am rich; I have prospered and grown wealthy (spiritually), and I AM IN NEED OF NOTHING; and you do NOT REALIZE AND UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE WRETCHED (worthless, shameful, vile, miserable, dejected), PITIABLE (despicable, wicked, disgraceful, vile, abhorrent, unpleasant, appalling, shocking, horrible, bad, revolting, awful, abominable, hateful, disgusting, terrible, horrendous, atrocious, repulsive, monstrous, loathsome, dreadful, pathetic, pitiful), POOR, BLIND and NAKED.

 

:18 Therefore I counsel you to PURCHASE from Me GOLD REFINED and TESTED in FIRE  so that you may be [TRULY] wealthy, and white CLOTHES to CLOTHE you and to KEEP the SHAME of YOUR NUDITY and from being seen, and SALVE to PUT ON YOUR EYES, so that YOU MAY SEE. (Come to Me, for the TRUTH - the UNCOMPROMISED WORD OF YAH).

 

:19 THOSE WHOM I [DEARLY and TENDERLY] LOVE, I TELL THEIR FAULTS and CONVICT AND REPORVE AND CHASTEN [I DISCIPLINE AND INSTRUCT them]. So be ENTHUSIASTIC AND IN EARNEST AND BURNING with ZEAL and REPENT [CHANGING YOUR MIND AND ATTITUDE].

 

:20 Behold, I STAND at the DOOR AND KNOCK; if ANYONE HEARS AND LISTENS to AND HEEDS (OBEY) MY VOICE and OPENS the DOOR, I WILL COME IN to him and will eat with him, and he will eat with Me.

 

:21 HE WHO OVERCOMES (he who is victorious) I WILL GRANT HIM TO SIT BESIDE ME on MY THRONE, as I MYSELF OVERCAME (was victorious) and SAT DOWN BESIDE MY FATHER ON HIS THRONE.

 

:22 He WHO IS ABLE to HEAR, LET HIM HEAR (LISTEN) TO AND OBEY (HEED) what the Holy Spirit says to the ASSEMBLIES (churches)."

PERILOUS TIMES

 ( Ref. 20422)

​

2 Thess. 2:9-10 “The COMING of the LAWLESS ONE, the ANTICHRIST, is through the ACTIVITY and WORKING of SATAN … And by UNLIMITED SEDUCTION to EVIL and with ALL WICKED DECEPTION of THOSE who are PERISHING because they DID NOT WELCOME the TRUTH but REFUSED to LOVE it that they MIGHT be SAVED.

 

:11 Therefore YAH SENDS UPON them a MISLEADING INFLUENCE, a WORKING of ERROR and a STRONG DELUSION to MAKE THEM BELIEVE what is FALSE. In order that ALL MAY BE JUDGED and CONDEMNED who DID NOT BELIEVE in the TRUTH but instead took PLEASURE in UNRIGHTEOUSNESS.”

 

Rev. 3:3 “  … and hold FAST, and REPENT …”

 

2 Peter 3:3-4 “Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their OWN LUSTS …”

 

1 Tim. 4:1 “Now the Spirit speaks expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to SEDUCING SPIRITS, and DOCTRINES of DEVILS …”

 

2 Tim. 3:1-4 “This know also, that in the last days PERILOUS TIMES shall come …”

 

PERILOUS TIMES:

In 2 Timothy Pauls describes the last days … the end-times as PERILOUS meaning DANGEROUS times … UNSAFE …  INSECURE … RISKY … TERRIFYING … SCARY … ALARMING … WORRYING … DREADFUL … SHOCKING … PANICKING etc.

 

We are indeed living in perilous times. Besides the pharmakeia witchcraft potions (vacceens) that were forced on us all with might … for the past two years, the entire world was told that wearing a MASK … COVERING THE FACE … would keep you safe as it  would stop the spread of the C-virus.

 

BREATHING NORMALLY - A NATURAL (God-given) ANTIVIRAL ACTIVITY:

During an extensive study, Harvard University has now found that the NATURAL EXCHANGE of carbon dioxide WASTE  for FRESH OXYGEN in the lungs (also known as RESPIRATION) is a POWERFUL ANTIVIRAL ACTIVITY that is DIRECTLY INTERFERED with by wearing the masks … putting our bodies at great RISK.

 

OXYGENATING our BLOOD and BOOSTING our IMMUNE FUNCTION:

It was found that the tiny sacs (ALVEOLI) inside our lungs exchanging Carbon Dioxide for OXYGEN with every breath we take – is facilitating the transaction of CO2 exhaled by our bodies … inhaling OXYGEN. It is a process of OXYGENATING our BLOOD and BOOSTING our IMMUNE function.

 

Wearing masks is trapping CO2 INSIDE the LUNGS BLOCKING the INTAKE of OXYGEN creating a CHEMICAL IMBALANCE INSIDE the BODY. This LEAVES the BODY PRONE to INFECTION and DISEASE.

 

400 STUDIES had been done proofing that MASKS PROVIDE NO BENEFIT at ALL and are ACTUALLY HARMFUL. According to these studies … breathing is actually a NATURAL (God-given) ANTIVIRAL ACTIVITY.

 

Normal breathing also exercises the lungs … stretching and relaxing it and this natural motion influences both the development and vital function of the lungs which naturally COMBATS INFECTION.

 

SNAKE VENOM USED in PHARMACEUTICAL DEVELOPMENT:

In a shocking revelation from dr. Bryan Ardis … it has been said that SNAKE VENOM is the most likely ORIGIN for RESEARCH into the SARS-CoV-2 GAIN-OF-FUNCTION ENHANCEMENT or C.vd VACCEENES.  Snake venom is COMMONLY USED as the STARTING POINT for pharmaceutical  research and is also used in pesticides and cosmetic by PRODUCT MANUFACTURERS.

 

“VENOMTECH – DRUG DISCOVERY SOLUTIONS”

Venomtech  … a UK company announced their MASSIVE VENOM PEPTIDE and VENOM FRAGMENT LIBRARY to be USED for DRUG  as well as PESTICIDE used for AGRICULTURAL COMPANIES … a GLOBAL LEADER for VENOM RESEARCH enterprises  with world-class laboratories at Discovery Park in Kent, England.

 

“Venomtech is collaborating with Charles River Laboratories, International Inc. to “HELP” drug developers explore VENOM-DERIVED COMPOUNDS for a WIDE RANGE of TARGETS. This newly formed collaboration will bring together Venomtech’s BIOLOGY EXPERTISE and VAST VENOM-DERIVED PEPTIDE library, with Charles River’s drug development and screening KNOWHOW, PROVIDING pharmaceutical manufacturers with a ONE-STOP SERVICE to EXPLORE this UNIQUE ‘NATURAL’ resource.

 

Venomtech’s TARGETED-VENOM DISCOVERY ARRAY (T-VDA) LIBRARIES provide researchers with a straightforward solution to rapidly screen thousands of INDIVIDUAL VENOM FRAGMENTS, with each array specifically designed to maximise HITS for a SPECIFIC TARGET” says their announcement.

 

Venomtech’s CEO Paul Grant: “Venomtech has been at the forefront of venom research for DRUG discovery for more than a DECADE … we can now showcase our innovative technology, introducing the wider industry to the potential of venoms for the successful delivery of more leads, more quickly for a broad range of [CELLULAR] targets.

 

… we can now offer our clients access to bespoke venom libraries, potentially accelerating their drug discovery PIPELINES USING THIS POWERFUL NATURAL RESOURCE.”

 

VenomTech’s own DRUG DISCOVERY PAGE:

“Our naturally derived peptide, protein, and small molecule compounds enable pioneering perspectives and solutions that have proven effective even on hard-to-hit targets where traditional approaches have previously failed. They affect a variety of molecular targets such as ion channels, GPCRs and ENZYMES, with a high degree of selectivity and potency, reaping the benefits of MILLIONS of years of EVOLUTION rather than just over a HUNDRED YEARS of DRUG DISCOVERY.

 

Our customers have access to a library of 20,000 peptides, proteins, and small molecules derived from VENOMS – the largest library of naturally sourced compounds available in the UK – supplied as an innovative Targeted-Venom Discovery Array and custom arrays with a demonstrated record of success … “

 

“We believe the Venomtech company very likely has a very bright future in its industry, by the way. “Biomimicry” means copying nature, and Big Pharma has a long history of pirating molecules from nature and turning them into multi BILLION-DOLLAR PROFIT CENTERS. The best ideas come from nature, of course, even though the FDA and other health regulators claim natural molecules are USELESS and can’t be considered ‘medicine’. Yet Big Pharma gets most of its blockbuster drugs from natural molecules, such as LOVOSTATIN MOLECULES found in RED YEAST RICE (now TURNED INTO HIGH PROFIT STATIN DRUGS).” (from Natural News.)

 

WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION AGAIN:

The World Health Organization with its serpent logo … a snake AROUND a STAFF that is used widely nowadays by various pharmaceutical organizations … representing the serpent (the devil) … the god of the world (2 Cor. 4:4) … wrapped around a STAFF – representing WORLD DOMINATION

 

WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM:

An article published as part of the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting of the Global Future Councils (2018) says the following:

“VENOMICS – the SCIENTIFIC ANALYSIS of VENOM – OFFERS GROUNDBREAKING SOLUTIONS to HEALTH PROBLEMS from heart disease to diabetes, to managing chronic pain.

 

In fact, there are already SIX DRUGS APPROVED for USE by the FOOD and DRUG ADMINISTRATION in the UNITED STATES that are derived from VENOM.

 

But with 15% of the world’s ANIMALS PRODUCING VENOM of SOME KIND, we have really only just begun to scratch the surface of their potential contribution to medicine.

 

Captopril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, a type of drug to treat high blood pressure and improve survival and reduce the risk of heart failure after a heart attach. Its main compound is DERIVED from a SPECIES of PIT VIPER found in Brazil.

 

Prialt, derived from the venom of CONE SNAILS, is used by some of the estimated 22 million ADULTS in the US who SUFFER from SEVERE and CHRONIC PAIN.

 

Byetta is part of a new wave of drugs designed to lower blood glucose in patients with type 2 diabetes. It’s key ingredient, exendin-4, is found in the saliva of the Gila monster, a large lizard species native to the southwestern US and northwestern Mexico.”

 

SYNTHESIZING SNAKE VENOM for MASS PRODUCTION, USING RNA TECHNOLOGY:

The following also from the World Economic Forum’s article:

“One reason for the growing interest in this field is that advances in DNA and RNA TECHNOLOGY allow RESEARCH TO BE CARRIED OUT MUCH FASTER.


For INSTANCE, traditionally, LIVE VENOM would be EXTRACTED from the animal, then INJECTED INTO AN UNSUSPECTING LIVE RODENT or FIST to STUDY its IMPACT.

 

Nowadays, the DNA and RNA of the VENOM have ALREADY BEEN IDENTIFIED, which ALLOWS researchers to SYNTHESIZE its COMPONENTS and TEST OUT their THEORIES.”

 

NANOCARRIERS CAN STABILIZE SNAKE VENOM PEPTIDES for DELIVERY VIA WATER:

“Venom-derived peptides display diverse biological and pharmacological activities, making them useful in drug discovery platforms and for a wide range of applications in medicine and pharmaceutical biotechnology. Due to their target specificities, venom peptides have the potential to be developed into biopharmaceuticals to treat various health conditions such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and chronic pain. Despite the high potential for drug development, several limitations preclude the direct use of peptides as therapeutics and hamper the process of converting venom peptides into pharmaceuticals. These limitations include, for instance, chemical instability, poor oral absorption, short halflife, and off-target cytotoxicity. One strategy to overcome these disadvantages relies on the formulation of bioactive peptides with nanocarriers. A range of biocompatible materials are now available that can serve as nanocarriers and can improve the bioavailability of therapeutic and venom-derived peptides for clinical and diagnostic application. Examples of isolated venom peptides and crude animal venoms that have been encapsulated and formulated with different types of nanomaterials with promising results are increasingly reported.”
