      I live in an Island where 4 months per year hundreds of humpback whales come to mate or give birth. When we humans want to meet them , we dont really get to decide, it is always their choice to let us approach or even most of the time their choice to approach us.
      Incredibly delicate, these submarine sized animals can come very close but never hurt us while they could easily kill us unintentionnally. To me it is one of these proofs that they are intelligent conscious animals

    Southern right whales are extremely playful and friendly. They love getting near the boats when people go sightseeing, they bump them a little to play and stretch their fins and tails out. When they play with their babies they'd take this arch position? And babies will jump over them. And they sing and chat all along. I've been lucky enough to witness all this, they're so beautiful and lovely!

      This is the prophecy about the second coming of Jesus

      “Awake, sword, against my shepherd, against the man who is close to me!” declares the LORD Almighty. “Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered, and I will turn my hand against the little ones.
      The Shepherd here is Jesus.
      John 10:11
      “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
      This is the fulfillment of the prophecy.
      Matthew 26:31
      Then Jesus told them, “This very night you will all fall away on account of me, for it is written: “’I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’
      This happened near 30 to 33 AD.
      Hosea 6:1-2
      Come, let us return to the LORD. He has torn us to pieces but he will heal us; he has injured us but he will bind up our wounds.
      After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will restore us, that we may live in his presence.
      In prophecies 1day is equal to 1000 years. Which means after two thousand years Jesus will return again.
      And on the third day which is the 3rd millennium, we will live in his sight. We all know we cannot see God's face and live on Earth. So it's the second coming of Jesus.
      Luke 21:11 ►
      There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.
      Matthew 24:6
      You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.
      We are the witnesses of all these things. From the death of Jesus to 2030 - 2033 there are 2000 years. Jesus is coming soon. Let's all repent and turn from our old ways and turn to the Lord.
      Praise the Lord.
      Peace and Love to you all
      Easter is pagan, the resurrection day of the Lord is correct and please stop taking the Lord's name in vain like saying omg or using it with a bad word or taking it in anyway that is in vain. Even the devil trembles in his name and we shouldn't use the powerful name like that. For the people who says Jesus is not God here's a verse.
      Isaiah 9:6
      For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
      Everlasting Father?. There's your answer
      The whole world will turn against Israel and not just Palestinians. Then know the end is near.

    Wow, that is a once in a lifetime moment.😮 And I had one last summer. Me and my wife went on vacation to St. Petersburg, FL.
    I was walking along the beach and decided to look for sand dollars near the jetty. I was in ankle to knee deep water when I heard people yelling and pointing on the jetty. I thought at first, maybe a shark! But they said it was a large manatee about 20 ft in front of me. So I went on out towards it. And just held my arms out. It came up to me and rubbed up next to my arm, swam behind me, and came on the other side. This gentle giant was huge! But they are vegetarians. The people on the jetty went silent and started taking pictures. I gently rubbed the manatee each time it came next to me. We played together in the water for at least 15 minutes, then it swam away. That was the best part of my vacation and my once in a lifetime moment.❤😊❤

    ❤How the heck was this filmed? A drone in the right place, at the right time, I suppose. 😮

    Such a beautiful and amazing experience and the buzz of not knowing if you might accidentally get injured or worse. Fantastic that it was filmed and filmed so well. Thank you for sharing.

    That was so beautiful. God made those enormous creatures so playful and curious. I imagine the paddle boarder's heart is racing at the thought of their interest in her.

    Как кит осторожен! Ему интересно кто это, но он осознает свою силу и очень деликатен! Я потрясена, что он исследуя доску (извините, не знаю как этот предмет называется), совсем легонько ее подтолкнул! Если бы он хотел, то один удар хвоста... И всё... А 🐳 только осторожно подтолкнул доску плавником! Память на всю жизнь у этой девушки. Невероятные эмоции!

    Now, if only nations could behave in this manner humanity just might succeed. You can learn a lot from animals. ❤

    What's amazing is that the Whale is aware this is not just an object floating on the sea to be played with, but has a living creature on it. It could easily have tossed it about but was gentle and curious, showing how intelligent these creatures are.

    Reminds of that one video where a whale gently pushed at a diver and moved her under his flap to swim away from an oncoming shark the diver didn’t see!

    These enormous mammals are so brilliant! They know because we are so tiny, they must be very gentle with us. It makes me weep to see proof of their giant souls and makes me weep at the horrible injustices some humans still do to them. In one way they are supremely powerful, in another so vulnerable.
