Gary Varvel: Congressional nursing home
Part 8-God's 7000-year timeline - The Creation Prophecy
According to Gallup, Congress’ approval rating is 19 percent with 78 percent disapproving of the way they do their job. By any standard, we do not have the best and brightest among us making laws and spending taxpayer money. You know it and I know it. I will draw cartoons about this in the future.
But Congress is also filled with people suffering from the effects of old age. There are 19 members who are over 80-years-old. So for this cartoon, the age issue is the joke.
The story that is not getting very much attention is Joe Biden’s email pseudonyms story.
The National Archives confirmed that it has 5,400 emails from when Biden was vice president and that he used 3 pseudonyms Robin Ware, Robert L. Peters and JRB Ware in his emails. The Southeastern Legal Foundation, an advocacy group, filed a Freedom of Information request in June of 2022 but they haven’t turned them over yet.
Question: Why did Biden use 3 pseudonyms?
“All too often, public officials abuse their power by using it for their personal or political benefit. When they do, many seek to hide it,” Kimberly Hermann, the general counsel at the legal nonprofit, said.
Unfortunately, our watchdog media could not care less about this story. A search only finds a few stories from a week ago.

PART 8 — GOD’S 7000-YEAR TIMELINE
“But you, Daniel, roll up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end. Many will go here and there to increase knowledge.” - Daniel 12:4
The Creation Prophecy:
The Bible says in Genesis 1 that God created everything in 6 literal days. It repeats “the evening and the morning” phrase after each day clearly referring to what we understand to be a 24 hour day. And on the 7th literal day God rested from His work of creation.
The literal days of creation is affirmed in Exodus 20:8-11. God tells us to work for 6 days and rest of the 7th because, as verse 11 says, “For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.”
Therefore, contrary to scientists who claim the earth is billions of years old, according to the Bible the creation week was NOT in years but 7 literal days.
In this series, I’ve been examining the belief that the 7 literal days of creation is a simile that illustrates God’s plan for 7000 years of mankind’s time on earth. There are 2 references in the Bible that make the comparison of a day is like 1000 years.
The Apostle Peter said in 2 Peter 3:8, “But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.”
Peter was referring to Psalm 90:4 says, “For a thousand years in Your (God) sight are like yesterday when it is past.”
Several of the early church fathers believed this day is like a thousand years principle.
Consider, Irenaeus 150 AD. He was trained by Polycarp who was trained by the Apostle John who wrote the Book of Revelation. This quote is from his "Against Heresies" Book 5, chapter 28:3, “For in as many days as this world was made, in so many thousand years shall it be concluded.This is an account of the things formerly created, as also it is a prophecy of what is to come. For the day of the Lord is as a thousand years; and in six days created things were completed; it is evident therefore, that they will come to an end at the six thousandth year.”
This series is not intended to set dates but to highlight verses that have been hidden in plain sight for thousands of years revealing God’s plan for man. If this interpretation is true, then we could be the generation that sees the fulfillment of these end-time prophecies.
“Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.” - Matthew 24:42.

So interesting-Love the brief reads
Love all your cartoons, but the recent one about D.C. being a nursing home stuck out. And the note about Congress' approval rating at only 19 percent is telling. Not just for being so bad, but because nobody in Congress seems to care about improving it – just continuing their agenda regardless.
