Comparative embryology: The inside story of a superior AND sustainable Form of government

From EMBRYOLOGY: Encyclopedia Americana (Deluxe Library Edition; 1992) Vol 10:

Page 294: Are you in the embryonic Body of Messiah?


Pages 296:  " . . . Each cell in a four-celled embryo (resulting from the first two divisions of the egg) is normally destined to give rise to a limited part of the complete embryo.  If, however, the four cells are experimentally separated, each of them in isolation from the rest will independently produce a complete embryo.  If two four-celled embryos are combined, the eight cells will become integrated and form a single normal embryo.  Thus embryonic cells "sense" the absence or presence of other cells in their immediate environment and regulate their performance accordingly, either by expanding or by limiting their inherent developmental repertory.  . . .  Thus cell association within a multicellular environment is essential for continued progression of specific avenues of differentiation and, in many cases, for the persistence of the differentiated state of the cells.  . . . various kinds of messenger RNA . . . are stored in the cytoplasm in an inactive form. . . . "

Page 297:  "Finally, the structure and function of the differentiated cell are also dependent on a characteristic spatial distrubution and ordering of the various constituents and products within the cell.  Only when this characteristic "compartmentalization" is achieved does the cell attain its typical differentiated form and functional state.  . . . The regions of the embryo become gradually determined at different stages of development, each preceding step in this process preparing the cells for the next phase in their advancement toward their determination.


Page 298:  " . . . Hans Spemann and Hilde Mangold in 1925 . . . (C)ells "induce" or "instruct" their partners in interaction to pursue specific developmental courses. . . . To reach the right locations and join with the appropriate interactants, cells must be endowed with recognition mechanisms in their surfaces that would enable them to discern the identity of cells in their immediate environment. In order to become inductive or be able to respond to induction, cells must attain a state of competence, which is part of their progressive individual and collective differentiation. . . . "


Page 299 - 300:   " . . . There are several types of cell recognition. One, the "self" type, is between like cells.  Another may be between different but functionally complementary types of cells . . . Still another may be between histologically distinct but functionally matching cells . . . Various intermediate and highly precise kinds of cellular recognition operate - for example, in the organization of the central nervous system, in which different types of neurons link up with exquisite precision and specificity into the networks and circuits that make up the brain. . . . " 



See Isaiah 43:1-2 and 5-13Romans 11:16-29 and "the parable of the sower".  Be ever cognizant of teratogens.


Ephesians 4:4 - 7 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as you also were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in us all. But to each one of us was the grace given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

Are you willingly moving toward what may be the most "perfect" form of government?  That form of government where each man, woman and child attains, and responsibly performs, their predestined function in the body of Messiah?
