Jesus Returns to Earth in Clouds of Glory

Jesus was executed by the Romans. Yet He was resurrected after three days in the tomb.  Then He ministered for (I think) 60 days among His followers on Earth.  He also visited His people in the New World, the Americas.  In fact, He visited people in many parts of the Earth.  But He ascended to Heaven with the promise that He would return.  

When He returns, all wickedness will end.  The righteous will rise to meet Him.  There will be the resurrection of the just - who had been in the Spirit World (Paradise).  Then, for 1000 years, Jesus will reign on  Earth in peace.  Afterwards, the wicked will be resurrected, and a final judgment will determine which Kingdom of Glory the resurrected will live in.  The wicked had to be waiting out the millennium in Spirit Prison.  That is sometimes called Hell. 

After the 1000 years of peace, everyone else will be resurrected.  This means their spirit will be reunited with their body... only their resurrected body will be immortal and free of all disease or defects.  Then, in a final judgment, everyone is assigned to one of the Kingdoms of Glory.

There are three Kingdoms of Glory:  The Telestial Kingdom for those who were wicked on Earth and had to repent of major sins in Spirit Prison.  Then, good people who were misled on Earth go to the Terrestrial Kingdom.  Those who have repented of their sins and had the ordinances of Salvation are those who receive exaltation in the Celestial Kingdom.  Those ordinances include baptism, gift of the Holy Ghost, Temple endowment, and sealing to spouse & Family.  Of course, these people who made it to the Celestial Kingdom still had to repent of their sins.  Everyone sins.  But they chose to repent and do better, and their sins were cleansed by the Lamb of God.  

Jesus suffered in Gethsemane and on the cross.  He paid the eternal price for our sins.  He is the Author of our Salvation.  He was resurrected with an immortal and glorious body.  As a sign of His Atonement, He kept the marks of the nails in His hands and feet.  He also kept the spear wound in His side. These are there to remind us of His sacrifice for us.  That sacrifice made it possible for us to repent.  He is very powerful.  It is important to know that He was a willing sacrifice.  He could have smitten the Romans with His power, but He allowed them to do their worst to Him that He might suffer and die and pay that eternal price for our sins.  He also became the first to be resurrected.  Because of His resurrection, we all will be resurrected.

Unicorn Mare views Her Realm

 This is my free coloring pages blog.

Today's new drawing is a cartoon drawing of a Unicorn Mare.

Unicorn Mare views Her Realm

Unicorns often disguise themselves magically and run with wild horses.  These Unicorns usually become leaders of the herd.  Of course, Unicorns are far more intelligent than horses.  In fact, Unicorns are as intelligent as Faires, Elves, and Humans.  The Unicorns are also sentient creatures like the afore mentioned species.  This is a female or mare Unicorn.  She likes to go to overlooks to view her realm.  Many Unicorns like to do this.  If they are winged Unicorns or Alicorns, then they will launch themselves off the cliff.  Since Alicorns can magically internalize their wings, we don't know if this is a Unicorn or an Alicorn.  This Unicorn or Alicorn is named Marsiah.

Ceratosaurus coloring pages

 This is my free coloring pages blog. 

Today's new drawing is of the Jurassic Theropod Ceratosaurus.

Ceratosaurus Prowling

This dinosaur is called a Ceratosaurus.  It was a meat-eating Theropod.  It lived in the mid to late Jurassic Period.  It was a medium-sized Theropod.  The first specimen was around 18.7 feet long.  That is 5.69 meters.  It weighed up to 2100 lbs. Another species was up to 23 feet or 7 meters long.  The larger species may have weighed up to 2200 lbs or more.  

There may have been three species, but this is controversial. The different-named species might be different stages of growth of the same species.  There is evidence that Ceratosaurus lived in Europe, North Africa, and North America. The first finds were in Colorado and Utah.  

There is some evidence that the Ceratosaurus was driven to extinction by the newer predator, the Allosaurus.  Allosaurus was quite a bit larger.  There were three short horns on Ceratosaurus's face.  The name "Ceratosaurs" means "horned lizard."  It had osteoderms down the length of its back and much of its tail.

Puppy Fairy with Micro Mini Goldendoodle coloring page

This is my second post on this free coloring pages blog.

This post is of 

Sariah the Puppy Fairy.

Sariah the Puppy Fairy

This is Sariah the Puppy Fairy.  A Puppy Fairy helps out lost puppies.  These Fairies also often magically internalize their wings and enter the mortal world in disguise.  They also use a cloaking charm to hide their pointed ears OR sometimes a transfiguration charm to transform their pointed ears into mortal-like ears.  

Why would some Fairies do this? Because they know that mortals love their doggies.  Of course, the Puppy Fairies also love dogs, not just puppies.  Obviously, Puppy Fairies love canines. In fact, they are known to help out with wolf packs in the wild and even help coyotes and foxes.  In Africa, they are known to help out wild dogs and Jackals.  And of course, Puppy Fairies are often veterinarian assistants or veterinarians when they are in disguise in the mortal world. 

By the way, in this drawing, Sariah is rescuing a Mico Mini Goldendoodle half-grown puppy named Dandelion.  Dandelion likes to roam, and so when he gets lost, often, Sariah finds him and brings him to his home... and his mortal family.  Dandy's mortal family really appreciates Sariah.

Versions of Spinosaurus coloring pages

This is my free coloring pages blog.

Today's new drawings are different versions of Spinosaurus.

 Spinosaurus older view

Spinosaurus newer view

Spinosaurus newest view

Spinosaurus was first discovered in Egypt in 1912.  It was a limited partial skeleton.  It was on display in Germany at a museum.  Unfortunately the museum was across the street from the local NAZI headquarters.  The discoverer of Spinosaurus, Ernst Stromer, tried to get the fossil moved but the museum director was a NAZI and he refuted.  American or British bombers apparently targeted the NAZI headquarters and destroyed the museum so the fossil of Spinosaurus was lost.  

A new fossil of Spinosaurus was discovered in Morocco in 2008.  Analysis indicated that Spinosaurus probably lived a semi-aquatic lifestyle.  Its back legs were not as long as presupposed.  In a way, it was much like a crocodilian.  It even had croc-like pressure sensors on its snout for detecting prey fish underwater.  The more complete fossil showed a more accurate depiction of the sail. 

More tail fossils and or reexamination of tail fossils show that Spinosaurs had a long, flat tail that would have been perfect for swimming.  Even so, some paleontologists still hold to the view that Spinosaurs were primarily terrestrial predators.  But I suspect that most paleontologists hold the view that Spinosaurs were semi-aquatic or even primarily aquatic.  So, like a crocodile or alligator, it had to lay its eggs on land.  But it lived much of the time in water or very close to water - like a crocodile, alligator, or caiman.  

Sometimes, we hold to the idea of a prehistoric animal we WANT to have.  But when more data appears, we need to be willing to alter our view.  I loved the depiction of Spinosaurs aegypticus as seen in Jurassic Park III.  But the newest evidence say that Spinosaurus had much shorter back legs.  Spinosaurus lived in the Cretaceous Period 30 million years BEFORE T. rex.  Plus, Spinosaurus was in North Africa.  Tyrannosaurus rex lived in North America. 

Admittedly, there WERE some other big Theropod dinosaurs in North Africa in the time of the Spinosaurs.  These were the huge dinosaurs called Carcharodontosaurus.  But if Spinosaurs was mostly an aquatic predator - hunting or fishing in rivers - then it would not have been competing with Carcharodontosaurus.  

By the way, there were other Spinosaurs like Baryonyx and Suchomimus.  They were smaller and did have proportionally longer back legs like most of the other Theropods.
