DUDE! I was about to type the same thing. I almost choked on my coffee.

What if you saw it today?

How haven’t you heard of The Cosmic Baby Battle of 1636? Truly one of the bloodiest battles in history. Fortunately, there were no casualties.

Humans are fucking weird

Those medieval lot just keep pulling them out them out the bag.

That's excactly what I wanted to comment.

Yes as in miraculous.

One thing that differs Christianity from the religions/mythologies/folklore it replaced is that Christianity separates the divine from the mundane. The world is described entirely mechanistically. A miracle is when the divine intervenes in the mundane. Of course, the Europeans didn't completely lose their beliefs in the supernatural or that everything had a spirit/soul/essence. E.g., the river, forest had some kind of spirit. But that's beside the point.

so this is "Ripley's Believe It Or Not" for ancient people

That explains the game 'blasphemous' which is based on fictional Spanish Christian setting. That game had a being named 'miracle'. And I was confused on why people in that game call it a miracle when many thing it did was far from positive. Now I know

@Usasodead I can see why you could say that. Lovecraft was a racist who feared the incursion of "alien" races, and he wrote about alien beings But I don't think that's really the core of it. No, the defining quote of Lovecraft is this: “The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.” This is Lovecraft's central theme: It's not alien races or beings that are the most terrifying thing in the universe. That's not the fundamental point. The fundamental point is that he (or at least the position he takes in all his writing) disagrees with the "modern" notion that "the more you know . . . the better things are." He disagrees with the idea that the more science advances, the better off we will be, and that the more an individual knows, the better off he will be. In my opinion, this is clearly the result of his experience with atheism. He knew that God didn't exist, and he found himself more miserable for it. He knew that he was in a hostile or at least indifferent universe, and that was a horrific burden that his believing ancestors didn't have to bear. I hope you'll forgive me for quoting the entirety of "Dover Beach, but I think it sums it up pretty well from someone who was almost a contemporary of Lovecraft's: "The sea is calm tonight. The tide is full, the moon lies fair Upon the straits; on the French coast the light Gleams and is gone; the cliffs of England stand, Glimmering and vast, out in the tranquil bay. Come to the window, sweet is the night-air! Only, from the long line of spray Where the sea meets the moon-blanched land, Listen! you hear the grating roar Of pebbles which the waves draw back, and fling, At their return, up the high strand, Begin, and cease, and then again begin, With tremulous cadence slow, and bring The eternal note of sadness in. Sophocles long ago Heard it on the Ægean, and it brought Into his mind the turbid ebb and flow Of human misery; we Find also in the sound a thought, Hearing it by this distant northern sea. The Sea of Faith Was once, too, at the full, and round earth’s shore Lay like the folds of a bright girdle furled. But now I only hear Its melancholy, long, withdrawing roar, Retreating, to the breath Of the night-wind, down the vast edges drear And naked shingles of the world. Ah, love, let us be true To one another! for the world, which seems To lie before us like a land of dreams, So various, so beautiful, so new, Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light, Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain; And we are here as on a darkling plain Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight, Where ignorant armies clash by night." Thomas Arnold figured he could carry on loving and that could bring meaning to a meaningless world. Lovecraft disagreed. He would say that Arnold's brain hadn't correlated its contents and that Arnold was living in denial. Lovecraft, in facing the cold, empty space of reality, found only despair.

@Usasodead You're too kind. I could be wrong. It's just my opinion.

Repent and follow Jesus my friend! Repenting doesn't mean confessing your sins to others, but to stop doing them altogether. Belief in Messiah alone is not enough to get you into heaven - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Contemplate how the Roman empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years to accomplish the religion of the Israelites C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate though because you can start a relationship with God and have proof. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life. - Revelation 3:20 Revelation has been unfolding since Jesus died. The Popes have claimed to be equal to God and set themselves in Jesus' place (antichrist(s)). Vatican City (Which is its own nation BTW) have risen up to fulfill the role of the false prophet Regarding the man of lawlessness or antichrist, 2 Thessalonians 2:4 says “Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” The restrainer that the Apostle Paul was referring to in 2 Thessalonians was the Western Roman Emperor, who held back the Popes from taking power. Once the last Western Roman Emperor was removed from power in 476 AD, the Pope was given civil and ecclesiastic authority over Rome; healing the deadly head wound of the beast in Revelation 13, as they took the Emperors title of Pontifex Maximus, leader of the church and state. “We may according to the fullness of our power, dispose of the law and dispense above the law. Those whom the Pope of Rome doth separate, it is not a man that separates them but God. For the Pope holdeth place on earth, not simply of a man but of the true God.” (Source: “Decretals of Gregory IX,” Book 1, chapter 3.) Pope Pius V blasphemed, “The Pope and God are the same, so he has all power in Heaven and earth.” (Source: Pope Pius V, quoted in Barclay, Cities Petrus Bertanous Chapter XXVII: 218.) Pope Leo XIII declared, “We hold upon this earth the place of God Almighty.” (Source: Pope Leo XIII Encyclical Letter, June 20, 1894) The antichrist sea beast of Revelation points to the office of the papacy, the Popes of Rome, who controlled the Roman beast for 1,260 years, from 538-1798 AD. Daniel 7:25 says “And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.” The Popes of Rome spoke against Elohim and proclaimed to be God. They reigned for 1,260 years, from 538-1798 AD. during which they caused tens of millions of saints to be killed. The Pope’s title is Vicar of Christ, which in Latin is ‘Vicarius Filii Dei’, and equates numerically to the number 666

God can't protect people from house fire, how he can save someone for cosmic horror?

Even funnier how the guys ride alongside it aren’t even paying any mind to it. As if that that’s just the kinda thing they encounter daily 😭😂

Medieval paintings of cats also look weird. With human faces and cats bodies. I had never seen the image of the sloth before. Very funny.

This. Is. Normal.

Now THAT is incredibly interesting. That is such a unique and insightful idea that it somehow manages to make some sense out of the unexplainable. The implications of that being the case are also interesting-Ezekiel not being able to understand or accurately describe what he was seeing would lend credence to the notion that he DID actually see and experience that rather than come up with it himself.

and... if you think about how the story is that in the beginning was nothing but god, and then god made from nothing what god made... god was said to make everything when there were "no things" - nothing, when everything was one. then god said words and gave something a name and a label and it became a "thing." my point is just that everything is therefore divine in that sense as everything is made from/part of, god, as it would follow that everything is part and particle of god, no?

@@ara.may.sauvage If you're a monotheist, everything is not divine. God is God and everything else is creation.

Necro-post but some birds carry their chicks under their wings. The marsh Jacana bird has long legs, so his chicks legs hang out and it looks like he has many legs.

Yep, that scale type dry skin disease. It's supposed to be painful. Can you imagine being labeled as a half chicken person because you have a dry skin condition or over producing skin condition. That had to be really hard back in that time period. 😢

Eeeeeeeh! 😉 I see what you did there. A "chick" with 2 sets of "legs", get it "legs" 😉 I'm just effin around. I've heard of that mutation. Also the city I live in has tons of pigeons (like all large cities) and there's sooooo many with a clubbed foot. No claws at all. At first I thought maybe a seagull bit the foot off and it healed that way but I see so many like that. Kinda feel bad for them.

Yes! precisely! and the watercolour technique... so modern don't you think? it looks not older than a few years!

I think not all the pictures are from the book itself

That's so true. Lord knows what is alive deep in the ocean or deep in the jungle. I was fascinated by, during the pandemic shut down when all these animals and birds that they thought were extinct came out and was spotted for the first time in decades. If end times does happen all the animals that are hiding will come out and take over the world.

Definitely agreed. It matches many reports of ball lightning I've read.

Ya plus it's pretty obvious this artist has a specific way of depicting comets and meteors which is completely different

@@pootitang1009 well to be fair, a comet burning in the atmosphere looks a lot different than a meteor thousands of miles away traveling through space.

Assuming ball lighting is real.

@@TheMrCougarful What? It's pretty much accepted fact.

I agree, they aren´t scary, they just embody fear, if that makes sense

I think it's because we culturally aren't really afraid of these things. And the artwork in not in the style we would associate with horror today. Would the author's audience have viewed this as horrifying though?

@@ClayMurray8 Agreed and I fully believe they would

Same, I love creatures like that

I can easily understand your point of view if you detach reality from this. But I don’t think that was the intention of the author/ illustrator. I don’t know where they got some of those ideas from like the baby sky battle to name just one. But it seems like the majority of these paintings are in fact reality for so many, which is why it inspires fear for many people. Some people take it seriously because of their beliefs and other choose not to.

lost opportunity

Let’s just say it and not credit him because his memory deserves nothing

i don't think lovecraft's memory is going away any time soon

This world is rapidly passing away and I hope that you repent and take time to change before all out disaster occurs!

You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God. Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc. Have a blessed day!

Having seen that medieval artists uniformly draw cats with human faces, I am dubious as to the artistic accuracy.

Its a cherubim, i think.

I love biblically accurate angels SO much! Theyre soo interesting

Thank you for this, im learning so much!!

It might have started like angel depictions but very early on it became more of a Evangelist representation. All these famous early medieval illuminated manuscripts (Book of Kells, Book of Lindisfarne) have it connected to the Evangelists. Also in this combined form it is usually present in frescoes of Byzantine or Romanesque churches. Though I should say that when it comes to iconography it is often murky and has more than one meaning, especially if we're talking about such an old iconographical motif. I didn't specialize in that art, my field is renaissance and baroque art so it has been a while since I learned about it, but thetramorph I do remember.

They also show in the Tarot major arcana, representing the 4 classical elements (earth, wind, water, fire)

Truly.

Lovecraft didn't write about any "deities." The whole cosmic pantheon was created by August Derleth and others after Lovecraft's death.

@@princeofcupspoc9073 What do you mean he didnt create any deities. Nyarlathotep, Azathoth, Yog-Sothoth and Shub-Niggurath and pretty much most of the outer ones are all Lovecraft's creations.

I think they were just cloud shapes. The red coloring means they were probably witnessed at around dawn or dusk. They were probably cumulus or cumulonimbus clouds that appeared to have those shapes due to light and shadow. Pareidolia, basically. I've seen pictures floating around the Internet within the last few years of clouds supposedly summoning similar omens, some in jest. There's one picture making the rounds of a cloud that looks like the dragon head from the Mortal Kombat logo. I've seen some shaped like hands, crosses, angels, or even demons, with people posting about how it's a sign of God or the End Times.

@@PatrickRsGhost Sounds likely. I wonder what it meant to the people of old and what they believed happened. A celestial conversation? A divine duel? The interpretations of the Medieval people of events we now see as normal is fascinating.

Or maybe a Fata Morgana?

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d5ODjdWqu9eqeKM.html this is a good candidate for that picture

@@EternalEdgeLord I would say the red warrior would quite possibly be a colorful interpretation of 'red sprites', which are high altitude electrical discharges that occur over thunderstorms that have a distinct red appearance. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprite_(lightning)

Right!!

I was expecting ball lighning myself

As a former Catholic I remember in middle school there was talk and rumors of the "three days of darkness" and it sounded pretty similarly to what you mentioned, it was attributed to Our Lady of Fatima which was a supposed apparition of the Virgin Mary to a group of children in Portugal in 1917 (so right in the middle of World War I) and I mention it for those who have never heard of that event. That version of the Virgin Mary is pretty popular with the kinds of Catholics who are into apocalyptic stuff in my experience.

@@monus782 funny i had forgotten about it but actually in my school we also talked a lot about the apparitions of fatima and all its mysteries, and they really said that everything would start with her and her last secret that was not allowed by the vatican to be revealed... today i ñ I believe a lot in these things although I really like the subject lol but when I was a student it really scared me, who says things like these to children?

@@monus782 Oh yeah, I think one of the children became a nun (Lucia?) and wrote a secret letter predicting the apocalypse?
