GODS CREATION.

FOREWORD

The Holy Bible is inspired by the Great God of creation, who has lived forever. Scripture cannot be broken, but it can only be properly understood when God reveals it. God the Father requires us to know Him and Jesus Christ, before He gives us eternal life. This does not mean that we are saved by knowledge alone, because God will not reveal the knowledge of Himself and Jesus Christ unless we are living our life as Jesus Christ lived His life on earth. This is according to bible morality. There is a dual requirement for eternal life; we must know, and obey God. We can have an incorrect zeal toward God, and we can worship God according to our way; which is incorrect. We must worship God according to His way.

Joh 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

Rom 10:2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.

The correct knowledge of Gods creation is part of the knowledge of the truth, and has been hidden from mankind.

Ecc 3:11 He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.

Humans will have trouble believing the account of creation. They believe all the incorrect garbage about evolution. Humanity loves leaving God out of everything.

2Pe 3:5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:

The creation we see about us is proof of the existence of God. Look up at the stars sometime, and ask yourself: how did they get there? We marvel about the construction of the pyramids, and no one would say that the pyramids just happened, but what about the construction of the universe?

Psa 14:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

Psa 19:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth his handiwork.

The true knowledge of God and Christ is a story of sadness, disappointment, and incredible zeal and determination: and ultimate happiness forever in the kingdom of God. There is an incredible power of evil in the universe, but good will ultimately triumph, thanks to God always being way ahead of the evil beings in thoughts, and actions.

Psa 2:1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
Psa 2:2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
Psa 2:3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
Psa 2:4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.

Read the quoted verses carefully, and remember scripture cannot be broken, and God cannot lie. Notice that the bible is a stumbling block to those who will not hear. It is of vital importance to believe the bible. This requires us to get rid of the previous, incorrect beliefs that we have had. There is different knowledge for different eras of Gods church, and the full truth of God and His love is revealed in this last era.

The knowledge of God can only be revealed by God the Father, or Jesus Christ.

Mat 11:27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

No man can correctly write this book, but the truth will be written as God reveals it.

Ecc 3:11 He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.

All things are to be restored. [The Elijah to come is a resurrected John the Baptist.]

Mat 17:11 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elijah truly shall first come, and restore all things.

We need to be close to God to understand the things of God, so it’s a good idea to go before God in prayer, and ask him to give understanding of the scriptures, and help us to believe the holy bible.

To understand the truth of Gods creation we must start at the beginning. Prepare for an incredible journey, but only believe the bible. Keep in mind that this knowledge is given in two stages. The knowledge that is missing in this book; will be given by God in the second book at a later stage. All this knowledge comes from the bible, as God reveals it.

Eze 2:9 And when I looked, behold, a hand was sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein;
Eze 2:10 And he spread it before me; and it was written within and without: and there was written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.

Rev 10:2 And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,
Rev 10:8 And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.

The mystery of God is finished at the time of the second book. The book mentioned in Ezekiel gives the knowledge of creation to the present time, and the knowledge, and warning of the time of Jacob’s trouble.

Rev 10:7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

The bible is inspired by God.

2Ti 3:16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

CHAPTER 1

GOD THE FATHER

God the Father has inhabited eternity, He has always existed. The following verses show that there is one true God, one God who has lived forever. Jesus Christ is also God, but He is the Son of God prior to His human birth. Jesus Christ is not called a true God because he has not lived forever.

There is one who has inhabited eternity.

Isa 57:15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

There is one Jehovah.

Psa 83:18 That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.

There is only one true God. Jesus Christ is God; but He is not regarded as a true god, because he has not always existed.

Isa 44:8 Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.

Joh 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

Jer 10:10 But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.

Jesus gives the understanding of the true God. This verse is interpreted slightly incorrectly as other verses show that Jesus Christ is not the true God. ‘By’ instead of ‘in’ would make it correct. We may know the true God by Jesus Christ.

1Jo 5:20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in [by] his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

Humans believe all types of garbage about creation and eternity; but they will not believe in, or believe the Great God of creation. God does not mince words: If you do not believe that there is a God, you are a fool.

Psa 14:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

One of the easiest things to know is that God the Father has lived forever. There is no other alternative. There is no record of what God has been doing for all eternity, but God has planned for forever in the future, so it is reasonable to assume, in a simplified statement, that God has used forever in the past to plan for forever in the future. It may be a simplified statement, but it speaks of the Great God of creation; who is completely unlimited in mind, and strength.

Psa 16:11 Thou wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures forevermore.

Isa 9:7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even forever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

Evolutionists, [fools in Gods eyes] are forced to admit that matter has always existed, and life has either always existed, or has started by electricity; or some such garbage. It is the Great God who has always existed. He made matter, and He made life.

Jer 32:27 Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?

God the Father is the YHVH [Jehovah] of the Old Testament. This name is 3068 in Strongs concordance, and is almost always translated as ‘Lord’. Jehovah is mentioned over 5000 times in the OT and always refers to God the Father, the God who has lived forever. [The pronunciation of YHVH is unsure.]

God the Father is the true savior. The following verses need to be understood as everyone knows that Jesus Christ is also our savior. The answer is simple; it is God the Father who has planned for human beings to ultimately live forever in the kingdom of God. The death of Jesus Christ for our sins is part of Gods plan for all mankind. In the overall plan of salvation: God the Father alone is our ultimate redeemer. There is no way to this salvation, but by Christ; so Christ is also our savior in accordance with the plan of God. Christ’s crucifixion and cruel death is part of the overall plan of salvation for mankind.

Isa 43:3 For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Savior: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.

Isa 43:11 I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no savior.

Hos 13:4 Yet I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no god but me: for there is no savior beside me.

Jud 1:25 To the only wise God our Savior, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

The following verses prove that the Father is the overall savior. Jesus’ death on the cross is absolutely essential for humans to attain eternal life; but that death is part of the plan of the overall, and in that sense the only, savior.

Read this verse carefully; it is God the Father who has a plan of salvation for all mankind. That plan includes Christ’s cruel death, so that through Christ we might have salvation. It is the Father who gives us eternal life through the death of His son.

1Jo 4:14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.

1Jo 5:11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

The true God is not Jesus Christ.

Joh 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

God the Fathers face cannot be looked upon by humans.

Exo 33:20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.

The Father appears in a vision, in a cloud, in a whirlwind, in a fire, or invisible.

Isa 1:1 The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

Isa 6:1 In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord [in a vision] sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.

Exo 19:9 And the LORD said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee forever. And Moses told the words of the people unto the LORD.

Job 38:1 Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,

Deu 5:4 The LORD talked with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire,

1Ti 1:17 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

God the Father alone has inhabited eternity; He has one Son who He gave to be born of a woman. God the Father is; all powerful, all knowing, and all loving. God is not mocked, and will eventually bring every one to judgment. Humanity may appear to be prospering, by lying, and coveting, and committing adultery, and blaspheming, etc. but God will triumph at the appointed time. God the Father will show mercy, but He will not compromise His laws.

Deu 5:9 Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,
Deu 5:10 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.

Gal 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

As the true knowledge of God the Father is revealed: we will come to appreciate His great love, and patience, and forgiveness, and also His incredible zeal.

The Truth of Gods creation begins with the knowledge that the Great God of creation [God the Father] has inhabited eternity alone.

CHAPTER 2

JESUS CHRIST

Jesus Christ is God, but He is not a true God in that He has not inhabited eternity. The scriptures are very clear that only one God has lived forever. Jesus Christ is from the beginning. Beginning means commencement, it does not mean forever.

1Jo 1:1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;
1Jo 1:2 (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and show unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)

Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Jesus Christ is the Son of God, from the beginning. Read these verses carefully, to see what they are actually saying. God made the worlds ‘by his Son’.

Heb 1:1 God who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
Heb 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

God sent His Son to be born of a woman.

Gal 4:4 But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,

Christ was the Son of God before His physical birth.

Pro 30:4 Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?

Every mention of Christ in the bible agrees that He was from the beginning, and is the Son of God. ‘Everlasting’ seems to mean forever, but the bible gives the meaning.

Mic 5:2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.

Pro 8:23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.

‘Begotten’ should be ‘born’ they beheld His glory as the only born of the father.

Joh 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten [born] of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Jesus Christ was born ‘in the beginning’. This was a spiritual birth [Jesus Christ] from a spiritual parent [God the Father.] At the time of writing there is no knowledge of a woman mentioned in this birth. There is not the slightest hint in the bible that Christ has lived forever.

Jesus said His Father is greater than Him.

Joh 14:28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.

Christ is equal to the father. He is equal as a son is equal to a Father.

Phi 2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

Joh 5:18. Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the Sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.

Jesus loved righteousness and hated sin. ‘Christ’ means ‘anointed’ Gods Son has been anointed above every one because of His love for righteousness, and His willingness to suffer and die for God the Father and all mankind.

Heb 1:8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever: a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of thy kingdom.
Heb 1:9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even
thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

Jesus Christ was a separate individual, and was capable of living righteously, or un-righteously. It was His choice to follow righteousness. Christ had to learn obedience. Christ never disobeyed God the Father, but He came to understand obedience through His physical suffering.

Heb 5:8 Though he were a Son, yet learned [understood] he obedience by the things which he suffered;

Phi 2:8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
Phi 2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

Jesus Christ is the morning star.

Rev 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

Jesus Christ qualified to be over all things: he also paid the penalty for our sins, so that we may have eternal life.

The bible constantly affirms that there is one true God. The teaching, during the time of Mr. Armstrong was that one God meant two Gods. One scripture that was quoted was

Joh 10:30 I and my Father are one.

This is, of course, a reference to the fact that Christ came to do His Fathers will, and is completely united with His Father. They are totally in agreement. they have the same heart and mind. This does not say that ‘one God’ means ‘two Gods.’

Joh 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

The above verse means exactly what it says, there is one true God; which means that Jesus Christ is not a true God: he is a born God. It also means that the knowledge of the true God and Jesus Christ is a requirement of eternal life.

Jesus Christ is the Son of God from the beginning: there were more powerful beings than Christ prior to him qualifying to be put over all things. This seems almost unbelievable but Daniel ch. 10 explains.

DANIEL CHAPTER 10.

Daniel saw a man, and described him.

Dan 10:5 Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz:
Dan 10:6 His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in color to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.

The following description shows that the man that Daniel saw was Jesus Christ.

Rev 2:18 And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass;

Rev 1:13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
Rev 1:14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
Rev 1:15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.

The following verse gives more insight to the knowledge of Jesus Christ: He was not as powerful as the prince of Persia, and needed help from Michael; who was obviously sent by the Father for that reason.

This verse also shows that the prince of Persia is a devil, or a powerful created being, as no human could withstand the Son of God.

Dan 10:13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.

Jesus had come to Daniel to reveal end time events.

Dan 10:14 Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days: for yet the vision is for many days.

It was Jesus Christ [God the Word] who brought down Persia, and established Greece.

Dan 10:20 Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I come unto thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, lo, the prince of Greece shall come.

It was Christ who established the Medes.

Dan 11:1 Also I in the first year of Darius the Mede, even I, stood to confirm and to strengthen him.

The mystery of the writing on the wall is now understood. God the Father had prophesied many years previously that he would loose the loins of kings.

Isa 45:1 Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, [king] to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;
Isa 45:2 I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:

The above verses were fulfilled at the time of Daniel.

Dan 5:6 Then the king's countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another.

Dan 6:28 So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.

It is obvious that to set up Darius and Cyrus; the Kingdom of the Medes: Christ had to bring down Babylon. It is God the Father who is in charge of the Kingdoms of this world.

Dan 4:17 This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.

Jesus Christ was extremely active prior to being born as a human. He was the tree of life in Eden, He was with the Father on Mt. Horeb when the ten commandments were given, He went with the Israelites through the wilderness, He set up and brought down the main kingdoms of this earth, sometimes with the help of the archangel Michael. Jesus Christ is the bright morning star: He has qualified to be in charge of everything, and everyone, except God the Father, for all eternity.

1Co 15:27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.

Luk 1:31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
Luk 1:32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
Luk 1:33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

Jesus Christ had glory with the Father, prior to being born as a human.

Joh 17:5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

He had glory and power after being resurrected.

Rom 1:3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;
Rom 1:4 And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God; He loves righteousness, and willingly laid down His life for mankind. Christ is the bright morning star who has been given eminence above all things by God the Father.

Heb 2:8 Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.

Rev 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

Jesus Christ was born of God the Father: in the beginning. God the Father is the true God, because He has inhabited eternity.
Jesus Christ is God, but has not inhabited eternity, and therefore cannot be called the true God. This title belongs to God the Father alone.

CHAPTER 3

THE SONS OF GOD

By using the process of elimination, and simply believing the bible, it is easy to know who the sons of God are.

The sons of God were around at the time of creation.

Job 38:7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

The sons of God [Elohiym] came before the Lord [Jehovah.] and Satan came also.
The sons of Elohiym came before Jehovah and Satan came also

Job 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.

Angels are not sons of God.

Heb 1:5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?

Heb 1:14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?

Angels in heaven do not marry.

Mat 22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

The sons of God do marry.

Gen 6:2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

The above verses show simply and clearly that sons of God are not angels, and they are not human beings.

The sons of ‘Elohiym’ presented themselves to ‘Jehovah’.

Job 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God [Eloyhim] came to present themselves before the LORD [Jehovah], and Satan came also among them.

Elohiym is a general name for God, and can include the Father; but it is very clear that the Father has only one son. [Only begotten can mean only born.]

Joh 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

1Jo 4:9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

In Job 1 v 6 above: the word translated as Lord is Jehovah [Jhvh] and refers to God the Father only. Jehovah can never mean the word or Christ.

Psa 83:18 That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.

The process of elimination proves that the sons of God are not humans, as they were in existence at creation. They are not angels, as angels do not marry. They are not sons of the Father.

The sons of God are the sons, or grandsons, or descendants of Jesus Christ; there is no other option. This also makes them the descendants of God the Father. ‘Children’ in the next verse includes near descendants.

Psa 82:6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.

The Morning stars were also present at creation.

Job 38:7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

Jesus Christ is a Morning star.

Rev 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

Lucifer is a Morning star also. The correct translation for Lucifer is Morning star. Morning star, son of the morning [Jesus Christ.] Lucifer is the son of Jesus Christ.

Isa 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, [Morning Star] son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

The sons of God have affected mankind greatly, and are responsible for the evil in the world. There is much more to learn of the sons of God, as we continue with the meaning of life. Most of the sons of God eventually die, even though they are Gods.

Psa 82:1 A Psalm of Asaph. God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.

Psa 82:6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children [descendants] of the most High.
Psa 82:7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.

Jer 10:11 Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens.

Isaiah 14 is about Lucifer: the son of Jesus Christ. He will suffer forever. Lucifer’s children will be destroyed.

Isa 14:20 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.
Isa 14:21 Prepare slaughter for his [Lucifer’s] children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities.

The sons of God figure prominently in the history of mankind. They married the daughters of men, prior to Noah’s flood, and their children were evil.

Gen 6:2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
Gen 6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years.
Gen 6:4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bore children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
Gen 6:5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

CHAPTER 4

ANGELS

Angels are created beings; they are not sons of God. Angels minister to the heirs of salvation.

Heb 1:5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
Heb 1:6 And again, when he bringeth in the first begotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
Heb 1:7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.

Heb 1:13 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?
Heb 1:14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?

Some angels sinned and are imprisoned in the bottomless pit.

2Pe 2:4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;

Jud 1:6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.

Cherubs are created.

Eze 28:14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
Eze 28:15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.

A cherub, known as the king of Tyrus, was the greatest being that God has created. This cherub turned bad. His name may be ‘Tyrus.’

Eze 28:12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
Eze 28:13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
Eze 28:14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
Eze 28:15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.

Cherubims have always been a bit of an enigma. We have thought that a cherub was one being with four heads. This is incorrect; a Cherubim is made up of four separate created beings. The cherubs on the ark of the covenant have their faces facing one another. There are two cherubims with their faces looking at each other. This would be impossible if each one had four faces.

Exo 25:18 And thou shalt make two cherubims of gold, of beaten work shalt thou make them, in the two ends of the mercy seat.

Exo 25:20 And the cherubims shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubims be.

Exo 37:9 And the cherubims spread out their wings on high, and covered with their wings over the mercy seat, with their faces one to another; even to the mercy seatward were the faces of the cherubims.

There are four cherubs each with four heads in Ezek. Ch. 1. Verse 6 can only be understood by comparing all scriptures on the subject. A cherub consists of four different beings, each being with four wings.

Eze 1:5 Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man.

The following verse can be easily misunderstood.

Eze 1:6 And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings.

The four beasts before Gods throne; make up one cherub, and each one of the four had one face. Each one of the four separate Cherubims had four wings. Other scriptures verify this.

The cherubs in Ezekiel had four wings each. The beasts before the throne have six wings around them.

Rev 4:6 And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.
Rev 4:7 And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.
Rev 4:8 And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.

The Cherubs described in Revelation; are standing in the exact formation of the Cherubs in Ezek. Ch. 1. They are standing with their backs to each other, and their heads facing outwards. Each has a wing around the Cherub of either side of them: Thus they have six wings about them.

Notice in the following verses; the Cherubs are described with two heads. Read carefully; The two cherubs each have a palm tree between them.

Eze 41:18 And it was made with cherubims and palm trees, so that a palm tree was between a cherub and a cherub; and every cherub had two faces;
Eze 41:19 So that the face of a man was toward the palm tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the other side: it was made through all the house round about.

Herein unfolds the mystery of the Cherubims. A cherub in a group of four, as described by Ezekiel, and also described in Revelation, is called a Cherub. Two of the beings in a Cherub, as described above, are also called a Cherub; and one of the group on his own is also called a cherub. Each scripture on Cherubs has to be read in context.

The Cherubs on the ark of the covenant consisted of one being on either end, with their respective faces toward each other. They are called two Cherubs.

Exo 37:8 One cherub on the end on this side, and another cherub on the other end on that side: out of the mercy seat made he the cherubims on the two ends thereof.
Exo 37:9 And the cherubims spread out their wings on high, and covered with their wings over the mercy seat, with their faces one to another; even to the mercy seatward were the faces of the cherubims.

Ezekiel spent a lot of effort describing Cherubs in ch. 1 and again in ch.10. There is an extremely important reason for the next verse.

Eze 10:20 This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river of Chebar; and I knew that they were the cherubims.

Gods end time church will have to know what Cherubims look like; it is of vital importance.

God the Father comes to earth riding on a Cherub.

Psa 18:10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.

God the Father comes on a throne, carried by Cherubims. God cannot be directly looked upon. Ezekiel saw the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord.

Eze 9:3 And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed with linen, which had the writer's inkhorn by his side;

Eze 1:26 And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it.
Eze 1:27 And I saw as the color of amber, as the appearance of fire round about within it, from the appearance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about.
Eze 1:28 As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spoke.

Cherubims have flames infolding.

Eze 1:4 And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire enfolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the color of amber, out of the midst of the fire.

Isa 66:15 For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.

The false prophet brings down flames from heaven. People are deceived, Gods genuine servants will not be deceived.

Rev 13:13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
Rev 13:14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

Gods people will know which is God the father and which is the false prophet. One of the reasons will be that Gods people will know what Cherubs look like.

Michael is an Archangel [chief angel.]

Jud 1:9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.

Michael is extremely powerful and stands up for Israel.

Dan 10:13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.

Dan 10:21 But I will show thee that which is noted in the Scripture of truth: and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your prince.

Dan 12:1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.

Gabriel is an angel who stands in the presence of God.

Luk 1:26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,

Luk 1:19 And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to show thee these glad tidings.

CHAPTER 5

THE ORIGINAL CREATION

We have heard for years; that remains of man, and animals dating over thousands and thousands of years old have been located. Let’s look at what the bible says on this subject.

A careful study of Genesis, and other books, will show that there was an original creation of man dating back to the days of the dinosaurs. This creation of man degenerated into sexual perversion, and rebellion against God and was destroyed along with the surface of the earth.

Modern day man was created and the earth renewed some 6000 years ago.

Let’s look at the Genesis accounts on the above and compare the differences.

Gen 1 describes the creation of prehistoric man up to and including Gen 2 v 4. This is the original creation.

The following four verses shows clearly a winding up of Gods original creation

Gen 2:1 And the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
Gen 2:2 And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had made. And He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had made.
Gen 2:3 And God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He had rested from all His work which God created to make.
Gen 2:4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created in the day that Jehovah God made the earth and the heavens.

THE RENEWAL AND RECREATION

Gen 2 v 5 to verse 15 is the renewing of the earth, and the re-creation of animals, and the creation of Adam and Eve.

Comparing briefly the Adamic creation to the prehistoric. There is no record of sea creatures being created at the second creation. Perhaps they were not destroyed when God destroyed the face of the earth. This would explain why some creatures like crocodiles may have carried over from the destruction of the first creation. Also the Loch Ness monster, and some other mythological monsters, may have been dinosaur’s that somehow survived the catastrophe.

A careful examination of the above verses will show the differences of the original creation and the re-creation

Notice also that in Gen 1v12 there was grass and herbs on the earth. A stark contrast to Gen 2 v 5 which states that there was no plants on the earth.
Gen 1 v 27 shows man and woman created, but in Gen 2 v 5 man has not been created.
In Gen 2 v 22 Eve is made from a rib from Adam, in Gen 1 v 27 male and female were created together in the image of God, female was not made from the male rib.

Dinosaurs are mentioned in Gen. 1 v 21. Great whales should be translated [great land and sea monsters.] We know dinosaurs existed, and we know God created everything. We should expect to see them mentioned in the bible.

Gen 1:21 And God created great whales,[ land and sea monsters] and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

The next verse is a dual statement. All flesh, except those on the ark, was destroyed in Noah’s flood. The earths’ surface was not destroyed at this time. Notice one flood destroyed all flesh, and one flood destroyed the earth. Other scriptures show that all flesh died with the destruction of the surface of the earth.

Gen 9:11 And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.

The following verses are talking about the beginning of creation. Humans refuse to believe the knowledge of the first creation.

2Pe 3:4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
2Pe 3:5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
2Pe 3:6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished.

Psalm 104 gives an overview of the first creation, and destruction of the first creation.

This is the original creation. This is not Noah’s flood. God did not do any creating after Noah’s flood. God did not renew the face of the earth after Noah’s flood. Leviathan is a large sea monster. God destroyed all animal, and human life from the original creation. He then recreated mankind, [Adam and Eve] and modern day land animals. [without dinosaurs]

Psa 104:26 There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.
Psa 104:27 These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season.
Psa 104:28 That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.
Psa 104:29 Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.
Psa 104:30 Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.

The reason, that God destroyed his original creation; is because men and women became sodomites and lesbians; and accepted every evil that God forbids.

Romans chapter 1 v 18 to 32 gives the account of humanity degenerating. Humans in the first creation degenerated to what we call cavemen, before God destroyed them. HUMANITY DID NOT EVOLVE FROM PREHISTORIC MAN. Humans in the first creation degenerated morally into what we call prehistoric man.

The humans in the first creation became morally depraved. Modern day Israel, along with the rest of the world, are once again accepting every evil that God forbids. Homosexuality, and lesbianism are well accepted, along with complete moral depravity. Adultery, incest, child sex, and bestiality are commonplace. Some tribes of the earth are well advanced in sexual perversions, and they even are starting to look like cavemen. Child sex; with both boys, and girls; is common in these tribes. It is also common in the first world countries; with paedophile rings on the internet etc.

GOD WILL PUNISH THIS WORLD, WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT, WITH ABSOLUTE DEVESTATION.

Read carefully what happened to the first creation: We are heading in the same direction, and the following scripture proves it will happen.

Ecc 1:10 Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.

This is the first creation. .

Rom 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
Rom 1:19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath showed it unto them.
Rom 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
Rom 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Rom 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Rom 1:23 And changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Rom 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves:
Rom 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
Rom 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
Rom 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.
Rom 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Rom 1:29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, [adultery and incest] wickedness, [moral depravity] covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
Rom 1:30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Rom 1:31 Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
Rom 1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Every thinking person who reads this article will know that most things are wrong in this world. The judges give minor sentences to major crimes. Prisoners are treated much better than old, or poor people. Blasphemy is spoken in everyday language. Physical beauty is put far above morality, and obedience to God. Foul language is used on most radio stations, and television.

False gods are now accepted freely in the English speaking countries. The sexual perversion of homosexuality is well accepted. We allow them to get married, and bring up kids in this unnatural relationship, thus continuing the perversion.

Every evil that God forbids: is accepted. God the Father has given humanity a free reign to live as they wish, but he will eventually step in and punish humanity, and then take control, before they destroy themselves.

CHAPTER 6

ADAM AND EVE

God had given mankind the knowledge of God in the first creation, which means that they had the holy spirit of life, and had eternal life inherent. They had to persevere to the end to obtain eternal life.

Compare these two scriptures.

Joh 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

Rom 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

They disregarded eternal life, and blasphemed Gods Holy Spirit.

Rom 1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Adam and Eve were created neutral, and were offered eternal life. They did not accept eternal life, and were not given the Holy Spirit of life. Adam and Eve could not blaspheme Gods spirit, because they were not given it. Christ’s sacrifice for sins would eventually be available to them, and subsequently all mankind since Adam. [This does not include devils who have already blasphemed Gods spirit eons ago, and are not offered salvation.]

Adam was forbidden to eat of the tree of good and evil. He could have chosen to eat of the tree of life, but did not. Adam died spiritually the moment he ate of the tree of good and evil. From that time: mankind’s only hope was the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

Gen 2:16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
Gen 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

If God had given mankind the spirit of life, as he did in the old creation; they would have degenerated into sexual perversion with no hope of salvation: just as humans did in the first creation. Modern day Israel is accepting every evil, but they are not blaspheming the spirit of God, as they do not have it, as the people in the first creation did. God will intervene before mankind, once again degenerates into complete perversion.

Adam and Eve became husband and wife, and set a precedent for mankind.

Gen 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

Adam and Eve were told to cleave to each other. Adultery and sodomy is punishable by death in Gods law.

Exo 20:14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.

Lev 20:10 And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbor's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.

Lev 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

The trees of good and evil are the sons of God who have turned bad. They still have some good, but also have evil. To eat of these trees is to live as they live: to touch them is to have sex with them.

Gen 3:3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

Adam and Eve were naked and unashamed before eating of the trees.

Gen 2:25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

After eating of the trees, they were ashamed.

Gen 3:7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
Gen 3:8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
Gen 3:9 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
Gen 3:10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.

‘Touch’ in the following verse can mean ‘to lie with a woman’.

Gen 3:3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

To eat Christ, is to live by Christ: to eat the devil, is to live by the devil.

Joh 6:57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.

‘Pleasant’ means desirable. ‘Desired’ means ‘lusted’. Eve lusted after the sons of God, and ate of them. Adam also followed suit.

‘Beguiled’ means ‘seduce morally’.

Gen 3:13 And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.

The serpent is one of the sons of God, he has seed.

Gen 3:14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
Gen 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

Joh 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Rev 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

Read the above verses carefully: the children of the devil will be lustful.

The enmity between the devils seed and the woman’s seed began with Cain killing Able.

If Adam had chosen to eat of the tree of life, he would be choosing to live a righteous life, just as Christ would live in the future. To eat Christ is to live by Christ.

Joh 6:57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.

Adam, and Eve chose to eat of the tree of good and evil, which means they chose to live their lives by the sons of God. This was immorality, and sexual perversion. They could have chosen to eat [live as he lived] the Tree of Life, which was Jesus Christ.

CHAPTER 7

THE TREE OF LIFE

The tree of life was in the Garden of Eden.

Gen 2:9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

To eat of the tree of life is the way to eternal life.

Gen 3:22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever:

Jesus Christ is the only way to eternal life.

Act 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

It’s a simple deduction to know that the tree of life is Jesus Christ.

God made the tree of life unobtainable; which means he made eternal life unobtainable. [Every human will eventually be offered eternal life.]

Gen 3:24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

Humanity since Adam and Eve has not had eternal life available; except for the few people who God calls.

Commandment keeping is required. By following the tree of life: which is Jesus Christ: We can obtain eternal life. We must enter into the city by the only way possible. God’s genuine people will not hear false teaching.

Rev 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

Joh 10:1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
Joh 10:2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
Joh 10:3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
Joh 10:4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
Joh 10:5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

The fruit of the righteous Jesus Christ is the way to eternal life.

Pro 11:30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.

It’s very plain that the tree of life in Eden was Jesus Christ. Adam and Eve could have chosen eternal life by eating [which means living by] Jesus Christ. They rejected the tree of life, and eternal life was cut off from mankind, until God is ready to make it available.

There is also an actual tree called the tree of life. This tree has healing leaves.

Rev 22:2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

The words ‘tree of life’ are also used in an uplifting manner.

Pro 15:4 A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.

Pro 13:12 Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.

Pro 11:30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.

SUMMARY.

In the original creation, humanity was given eternal life in the form of God’s spirit. They were not given a choice, and blasphemed the spirit; and God destroyed them.

In the re-creation: God gave Adam and Eve a choice. They chose not to accept eternal life, and the people since Adam have made their own laws, and rejected God. As they were not given the spirit of life, they cannot blaspheme God’s Holy Spirit. They will be offered eternal life sometime in the future.

God calls some people, and gives them the spirit of life. Noah, Abraham, David, etc.

The tree of life [Jesus Christ] is the only way to eternal life, and will eventually be offered to every human being.

CHAPTER 8

THE TREE OF GOOD AND EVIL

God equates eternal life with knowing Him and Christ.

Joh 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

A lot of the knowledge of God is to be revealed just prior to the time of the end, so it is well hidden in the scriptures.

God calls people trees.

Mar 8:24 And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.

Jesus Christ is the tree of life.

The trees of good and evil are the sons of God

The following verses show some of the inhabitants of Eden. The Assyrian is likened to a cedar.

Eze 31:3 Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches, and with a shadowing shroud, and of a high stature; and his top was among the thick boughs.

Trees don’t envy: The trees, which envied the Assyrian, were other spirit beings.

Eze 31:8 The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him: the fir trees were not like his boughs, and the chestnut trees were not like his branches; nor any tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his beauty.
Eze 31:9 I have made him fair by the multitude of his branches: so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied him.

The trees of Eden eventually go down the pit, which is a place of imprisonment for evil spirits: angels, and sons of God.

Eze 31:16 I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to hell with them that descend into the pit: and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, shall be comforted in the nether parts of the earth.

Ezekiel 31 tells of some of the beings in Eden. They eventually end up in the bottomless pit.

The king of Tyrus is a created cherub. He was in Eden.

The serpent has seed, which means he is a son of God.

The book of Jude is talking about end time beasts, or devils. They are likened to trees. These people are not offered eternal life.

Jud 1:12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;

Jud 1:10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.

Adam and Eve set the world on a course of commandment breaking and sexual perversion. This includes lying, envying, murder, adultery etc. All these sins are now rife in our country and getting worse.

The sins in Eden were: envy, lying, etc. the perversion of sex began in humanity as soon as Adam and Eve were created. The scriptures on the subject are well hidden and have to be carefully studied.

When Adam and Eve were created, they were naked and unashamed. They were joined by God in marriage, and were told to replenish the earth, so sex between them was a natural, God given part of the marriage. This type of sex is part of Gods creation.

Gen 2:23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
Gen 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
Gen 2:25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

Notice what happened when they ate of the tree of good and evil. They knew they were naked. The tree appeared good and pleasant. The word “desired” can mean lusted”

Gen 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
Gen 3:7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

When God came to Eden: Adam and Eve hid because they were naked.

Gen 3:8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
Gen 3:9 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
Gen 3:10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.

Adam and Eve were now ashamed of being naked. This is exactly how immoral sex or adultery works: it appears wonderful beforehand, but is something to be ashamed of afterward. This is true of all sin. The temporary pleasures of sin appear to make Gods way seem mundane. Moses was one of a handful of humans who chose the way of God over the temporary pleasures of sin.

Heb 11:24 By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;
Heb 11:25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
Heb 11:26 Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompense of the reward.

God knew what had happened. Beguiled in verse 13 can mean “morally seduced”

Gen 3:11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
Gen 3:12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
Gen 3:13 And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.

“Knowing” in the following verse is used for having sex. ‘Adam knew Eve and she conceived etc.’ Adam and Eve knew good and evil, this includes good and evil sex, as well as breaking and keeping all of Gods laws.

Gen 3:5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

God put enmity between the serpents seed and the womans seed. This started with Cain and Abel.

Consider the clues for immoral sexual perversion in the garden of eden.

[1] Adam and Eve were naked and unashamed.
[2] After eating of the tree of good and evil, they were ashamed of being naked.
[3] Desired can mean lusted.
[4] Beguiled means seduced.
[5] Know can mean have sex.
[6] The devils seed was passed on to Eve.
[7] Touch can mean lie with a woman.

CHAPTER 9

THE DEVILS SEED

The devil gets the blame for most, if not all, sins in the bible. He sinned from the beginning [the beginning is the time of the original creation.] The devil is the cause of sexual immorality, murder, and lies. The devil instigated lawbreaking.

The serpent devil was in Eden with Adam and Eve.

Gen 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

By reading Gen. chapter 3: it’s easy to tell that the serpent is a sleazebag, just as Christ affirmed in John 8 v 44, quoted above.

God made a prediction that would affect the whole course of mankind.

Gods’ descendants, [apart from Jesus Christ] had become Gods that were good and evil. The serpent was a descendant who was evil from the beginning.

The following verse answers a difficult question. The devils seed are born evil, and are liars.

Psa 58:3 The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.

The following verses have to be read carefully. Adam had sex with Eve, and Cain was born. Cain was ‘of that wicked one.’ Cain was ‘from the Lord.’ Cain was of the evil God seed, not from the good seed created in Adam and Eve.

Gen 4:1 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bore Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.

1Jo 3:12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.

Abel was not mentioned as being from the Lord. Abel’s works were good, which proves that he was of the good seed, which God created in Adam and Eve.

Gen 4:2 And she again bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.

At the time of Seth and Enos; the good seed of Adam was prevailing, and men began to live Gods way. Notice that God appointed Seth in place of righteous Abel. Seth was not of the evil God seed, he was appointed by God.

Gen 4:25 And Adam knew his wife again; and she bore a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
Gen 4:26 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.

The truth of ancestry since creation is absolutely astounding. The seed, or sperm, created in Adam is good, and the seed emanating from God the Father is, apart from Christ, good and evil.

Gen. Ch. 5 is genealogy, so at the time when men began to call on God; the sons of God came down and corrupted the good seed with their own seed.

Gen 6:1. And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
Gen 6:2. That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

The above marriages turned mankind from obeying God to being only evil all the time. God’s plan was upset by the sons of God, as the evil seed affected everyone. God had not allowed for this to happen, and repented of creating mankind. [God’s sons were good and evil; and God gave them every chance to let the good triumph over the evil, but it seems that they always let him down.]

The progeny of Sons of God and humans were only evil, just as the progeny of the serpent is evil.

Notice below in verse 9 perfect in his gererations Noah was unaffected by the evil seed.

Gen 6:8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
Gen 6:9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.
Gen 6:10 And Noah begot three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Gen 6:11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
Gen 6:12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.

The ‘them’ in the next verse is mankind with the evil God seed: the devils seed.

Gen 6:13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them [from] with the earth.

SO FAR

God had created Adam and Eve good. The devil had passed the evil seed to them. The good seed began to take over at the time of Seth, and the sons of God came and infected mankind with the evil God seed. God planned to take only the good seed the other side of the flood, but; once again the plan failed. The spirits in prison were obviously sons of God who passed the evil seed to Noah’s group; thereby ensuring that mankind after the flood would be good and evil.

1Pe 3:19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;
1Pe 3:20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.

Evil came to the fore almost immediately after the flood as Canaan sodomised Noah.

There are two definite courses for living beings. Adam was created with the spirit of man in him. This spirit can unite with the spirit of God, which is another spirit, and lead to eternal life.

Job 32:8 But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.

1Co 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

Joh 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever;
Joh 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

All mankind is affected by the devils’ seed; that is the reason why mankind is good and evil. It is impossible for humans to live without sinning.

Rom 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

1Jo 1:10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

God created mankind good; it is the devils’ seed, which is in all mankind, which causes us to be good and evil.

Gen 1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

The bible calls evil beings ‘beasts.’ Salvation is not available to these beings.

Rev 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night forever and ever

2Pe 2:12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;

Jud 1:10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.

There is no difference between beasts [evil descendants of God, called devils] and humans: except that at death their spirits go different ways.

Ecc 3:18 I said in mine heart concerning the estate [end] of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.
Ecc 3:19 For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.
Ecc 3:20 All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.
Ecc 3:21 Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to [beneath] the earth?

Beasts, or those of the devil’s seed, are mentioned throughout the bible.

Cain was ‘from the Lord’ and was ‘of that evil one.’

Gen 4:1 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bore Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.

1Jo 3:12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.

God does not acknowledge Ishmael as being Abraham’s son. Ishmael is obviously of the devils seed.

Gen 25:8 Then Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years; and was gathered to his people.
Gen 25:9 And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre;

Gen 22:12 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.

Church leaders at the time of Christ were children of the devil.

Children of the devil hate the way of righteousness.

Act 13:8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.
Act 13:9 Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him,
Act 13:10 And said, O full of all subtlety and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?

Devils’ will increase in number at the time of the end. These evil beings are mentioned in 2Tim. 3; 2 Peter 2; and Jude.

2Ti 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2Ti 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
2Ti 3:3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
2Ti 3:4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
2Ti 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

2Pe 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2Pe 2:2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.

Jud 1:4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

There are several things to consider. The ‘evil beasts’ in the following verse are beings who are of the devil’s seed.

Lev 26:6 And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.

Look what disobedience brings on. The evil in the following verse is happening in our land at this very time. ‘wild beasts’ can refer to actual beasts, or children of the devil.

Lev 26:22 I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your high ways shall be desolate.

Child stealing, and murder, is common in our country at this time, and will get worse

Eze 5:17 So will I send upon you famine and evil beasts, and they shall bereave [rob of children] thee; and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; and I will bring the sword upon thee. I the LORD have spoken it.

The enmity has already happened in the world, as Jesus Christ was put to death because of the church leaders who were children of the devil. The devil seed is passed on through sexual intercourse. The following verse shows that the devils seed is passed through the male sperm.

Gen 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

All humanity have good and evil in them, but it seems that the devil can have his evil beasts born when God allows, as they increase the morals in our land decrease.

These evil beings are sodomites, and they would bring the world to destruction, if not for the very few.

Rom 9:29 And as Isaiah said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodom, and been made like unto Gomorrah.

These end time beasts cause our land to become like Sodom.

Jud 1:7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
Jud 1:8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.

The parable of the sower also affirms the influx of beasts, [humans with the devil seed] at the time of the end.

Mat 13:24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:

Mat 13:37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;

Mat 13:25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.

Mat 13:38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
Mat 13:39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.

Mat 13:26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
Mat 13:27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
Mat 13:28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
Mat 13:29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
Mat 13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

Mat 13:40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
Mat 13:41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
Mat 13:42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Mat 13:43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Humans with the devil seed will appear at the time of the end, and will be well entrenched in the Laodicean church.

From the known scriptures: All mankind is affected by the devils seed, but are not necessarily children of the devil. The devil seems to be able to have his children born when he wants. These children of the devil do not have the chance for eternal life, as they are overwhelmingly evil, and blasphemed Gods Holy Spirit a long time ago. It appears certain that women do not have the devils seed, until they have sex with a male. [Unless they are actually children of the devil.]

There is a massive increase in wickedness among the children. These are almost certainly children of the devil. The following prophecy is being fulfilled at this very time.

Isa 3:11 Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.
Isa 3:12 As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.

Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil.

1Jo 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

CHAPTER 10

NOAH

By the time of Noah, all flesh had become corrupt with the evil God seed. Only Noah, and Noah’s family, remained without being affected. Adams seed had come through to Noah un-tainted by the devil’s seed.

Gen 6:8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
Gen 6:9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.

Adam and Eve had eaten of the tree of good and evil, but all flesh, except Noah, had become evil, due to the marriages of the sons of God to the daughters of men.

God worked out a plan to wipe out evil from the earth. Remember it was Gods grandsons who were responsible for the wickedness. No wonder that God was feeling disappointed about the way things were panning out.

Gen 6:5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
Gen 6:6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
Gen 6:7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.

The ‘them’ in the next verse are the descendants of God the Father, who brought evil into the world at the time when men began to call on the Lord. God did not destroy the earth at Noah’s flood: ‘from’ is a correct translation.

Gen 6:13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with [from] the earth.

The sons of God were not to be destroyed in the flood. Their human progeny were to be destroyed.

Gen 6:17 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.

It is obvious that all of Noah’s family were free of the evil seed. God planned to establish his covenant with Noah after the flood.

Gen 6:18 But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.

Once again, Gods plan is brought to nought. Remember that God the Father is in charge overall and even though He allows the evil seed to pollute mankind, He still has a purpose for this and the intervention of the evil Grandsons of God appears to ruin Gods plan, but it does not. God uses this diversion to suit His overall purpose for mankind.

The following verses show that the evil Gods once again infected mankind with the evil seed. The Grandsons of God infected one or more of the members of Noahs family during the time of the construction of the Ark. Therefore the evil seed was once again able to be carried on to mankind through the infected ones. Gen 9 v 19 tell us that the sons of Noah populated the earth. The ‘after that’ in Gen 6v4 can only mean after the flood. There were giants such as Goliath after the flood.

Gen 6:4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bore children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

Noah was free from the devils’ seed; so his sons would also be free from it, and the sons wives would not have the evil seed, because their husbands did not have it. The disobedient spirits ruined things.

CHAPTER 11

GOD THE FATHER TO NOAH IN BRIEF.

God the Father has always existed. He is the omnipotent, all knowing, all powerful, God. God the Father will not compromise with His laws or the punishment for breaking those laws. God the Father has alone inhabited eternity. God the Father is the supreme creator, the supreme savior, and the supreme redeemer. God the Father is the one true God.

In the beginning: a spiritual Son was born to God the Father.. This was the bright and Morning Star, God the Word. The Morning Star loved righteousness, just as His Father loved righteousness. The Morning Star gave up his divinity to be born as a human being. He was born to the virgin Mary and named Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ lived a sinless life and died for the sins of mankind. There is no other way to eternal life, but by Christ.

The Morning Star also had spiritual sons born to Him. Lucifer is a Morning Star and is the son of the Morning. The sons of God are the descendants of God the Father: It seems that the majority are the sons of Lucifer.

The sons of God shouted for joy at the original creation. It was after this time, but before Adam and Eve, that they sinned. The first humans became sexually perverted, and were eventually all destroyed by God. The sons of God would have had a big say in this perversion.

Adam and Eve were created by God the Father, and given a choice of emulating Christ [tree of life] or the sons of God [tree of good and evil.] They chose the tree of good and evil, which is the way of eternal death. Christ’s crucifixion and cruel death for the sins of mankind was humanities only hope for salvation.

Cain was of the devils seed: he killed Abel, who was of the good seed created in Adam. Seth was of the good seed, and humans began to obey God as the good seed spread. The sons of God began marrying daughters of men, and turned mankind to evil. God destroyed the evil God seed, in the flood, with the intention of starting afresh with the good seed of Noah and his family. The spirits were disobedient, and infected one or more of Noah’s family who were saved in the flood.

By the time of Noah’s flood: God had at least six plans ruined, mainly by the sons of God. God has a plan for salvation for all mankind, if they choose to obey him.

[1] The sons became both good and bad some time before the creation of Adam and Eve. All mankind in the first creation became perverted and were destroyed completely by God.

[2] Some angels sinned.

[3] Adam and Eve ate of the tree of good and evil. {This was living as the evil Sons of God lived}

[4] Cain was of the evil one, and killed Abel.

[5] The sons of God married daughters of men and ruined the time of men calling on the Lord.

[6] Disobedient spirits ruined Gods plan to carry the good seed to the other side of the flood.

Don’t forget that we are made in Gods image. Think how disappointed we humans are when our progeny turns bad. God loves more than we are capable of, but He will not compromise His perfect law: He forgives time and time again, always looking for true repentance. It appears that only Jesus Christ has loved righteousness. Gods’ grandsons have continually let Him down, and will eventually be put to death; or suffer forever in the lake of fire. There is a possibility that some have bucked the trend, and are righteous.

CHAPTER 12

HAM SHEM JAPHETH

After the flood, evil once again came to the fore, this was because of the disobedience of the spirits. [Jesus Christ preached to the spirits in hell after God resurrected Him in the tomb.He was with these evil spirits for three days and three nights.]

Prior to the flood, mankind was capable of choosing to do good, even though good and evil was now with them. Seth started mankind on the road to doing good, but the sons of God ruined things by marrying the daughters of men, which brought all mankind to evil. God wiped out this evil, and kept Noah and his contingent alive: this would have allowed humans to follow the way of righteousness after the flood, but for the disobedience of the sons of God once again.

God gave the same responsibility to Noah and his sons as he had given to Adam and Eve.

Gen 9:1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.

After the flood, mankind became predominately evil. Canaan sodomised Noah.

Read the following verses carefully. Ham told his brothers as soon as he saw Noah naked.

Gen 9:20 And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:
Gen 9:21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.
Gen 9:22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
Gen 9:23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.

Noah knew what the younger son had done. Ham was one of triplets, and was not the youngest.

Gen 6:10 And Noah begot three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

The younger son can also refer to grandson. Noah knew what the grandson had done.

Gen 9:24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.

It was Canaan who was cursed, because it was Canaan who had done the evil to Noah.

Gen 9:25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
Gen 9:26 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
Gen 9:27 God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

Ham did nothing to Noah, he saw Noah naked and immediately told Shem and Japheth who then covered Noah. Canaan was the culprit:
It is obvious that Canaan sodomised Noah. Canaan was cursed. The other sons of Ham did not receive that curse, nor did Ham.

Shem is the father of the white people. Japheth is the father of eastern people. Ham is the father of the black people.

CHAPTER 13

ABRAHAM

Nimrod had brought the people together where they began to build a tower to heaven.

Gen 11:4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.

God changed the language to divide the people, and then scattered them over all the earth.

Gen 11:6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
Gen 11:7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
Gen 11:8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.

Abraham was born in the line of Shem. God called Abraham out of his country and promised him great blessings.

Gen 12:1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will show thee:
Gen 12:2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
Gen 12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

Abraham obeyed God without question.

Gen 26:5 Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.

Heb 11:8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.

Gen 12:4 So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.

Abrahams descendants were promised the land of Canaan: [the general land of Israel]

Gen 12:5 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.
Gen 12:6 And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.
Gen 12:7 And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there built he an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto him.

The promise was forever.

Gen 13:15 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed forever.

Abraham went to war to save lot, and was successful. Melchizedek: the priest of God brought food and a blessing.

Gen 14:18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.
Gen 14:19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth:
Gen 14:20 And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.

Abraham’s character shows in the next verses; he would take no gain out of winning the battle.

Gen 14:22 And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lifted up mine hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth,
Gen 14:23 That I will not take from a thread even to to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich:

God promises Abraham a child.

Gen 15:1 After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.
Gen 15:2 And Abram said, Lord GOD, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?
Gen 15:3 And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir.
Gen 15:4 And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.

Abraham believed God. [It is extremely rare for a person to believe God]

Gen 15:5 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.
Gen 15:6 And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.

God told Abraham that his seed would be in captivity 400 years.

Gen 15:13 And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;

The covenant promise is mentioned over and over.

Gen 15:18 In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:

Sarah gave Hagar to Abraham to get a child.

Gen 16:4 And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.

Hagar was to have a child and name him Ishmael.

Gen 16:11 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction.
Gen 16:12 And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.

It is important to note that God called Isaac: Abraham’s only begotten son. This is repeated four times in the bible to emphasize the fact. Isaac was of the good seed created in Adam and Eve. Ishmael was of the devil’s evil seed.

Heb 11:17 By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,

Gen 22:2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.

Gen 22:12 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.

Gen 22:16 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son:

Ishmael was a child of the devil. We have shown that a man has to have sex with his wife before a child of the devil can be born. The serpent can obviously decide when one of his progeny will be born. God the Father is always aware of what is happening, and remains in overall control.

Gen 16:15 And Hagar bore Abram a son: and Abram called his son's name, which Hagar bore, Ishmael.

Once again: God reinforced the covenant.

Gen 17:1 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.
Gen 17:2 And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.
Gen 17:3 And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,
Gen 17:4 As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.

Circumcision was a token of the covenant.

Gen 17:10 This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised.
Gen 17:11 And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant between me and you.

God confirmed that Sarah would have a son.

Gen 17:19 And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.

The covenant promise was passed on to Isaac.

Gen 17:21 But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.

What happened next is about the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. The Lord appeared to Abraham, and three men stood near. Remember the Lord cannot be looked upon, and Abraham saw three men.

Gen 18:1 And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;
Gen 18:2 And he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,

Two angels went into Sodom. It is fairly obvious that the third man was God the word.

Gen 19:1 And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;

The men of Sodom wanted to have sex with the angels.

Gen 19:4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:
Gen 19:5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.

The men refused the offer of having sex with Lots daughters.

Gen 19:8 Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.
Gen 19:9 And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door.

The angels protected Lot.

Gen 19:11 And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.

Lot warned his daughters’ fiancées of impending destruction, but they refused to listen.

Gen 19:13 For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it.
Gen 19:14 And Lot went out, and spoke unto his sons-in-law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons-in-law.

God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.

Gen 19:24 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;
Gen 19:25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.

Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed as an example of the lake of fire.

Lots wife looked back and was turned to a pillar of salt.

Gen 19:26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

Lots daughters became pregnant by their father and started two nations. Moab and Ammon were started by incestuous sex.

Gen 19:37 And the firstborn bore a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day.
Gen 19:38 And the younger, she also bore a son, and called his name Ben-ammi: the same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day.

The early years of Gods creation are full of perverted sex, mainly sodomy. This begins with the perversion of the Devil, who was perverted from the beginning.

Abraham had faults, as do all humans, he called Sarah his sister; which caused trouble. Gen. Ch. 20 tells the story.

Isaac was born to Sarah when Abraham was 100 years old.

Gen 21:5 And Abraham was a hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him.

God confirmed that Isaac would inherit the promises, not Ishmael.

Gen 21:12 And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.

God the Father was prepared to offer up his Son Jesus Christ: He now tested Abraham to see whether he would offer up his son.

Abraham was prepared to obey God, even to the point of sacrificing his son. God stopped him from killing Isaac, and the covenant now became unconditional.

Gen 22:16 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son:
Gen 22:17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
Gen 22:18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.

Abraham was a mighty man of God. God always came first with Abraham, and he became the father of the faithful.

Rom 4:16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,

It is obvious that the devil had Ishmael born first so he would inherit the promises made to Abraham, but God chose Isaac, and Isaac became the firstborn in Gods eyes.

CHAPTER 14

ISAAC

Isaac is called the only begotten son of Abraham.

Heb 11:17 By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,

Ishmaels’ father is Abraham, but he is of the evil one, the devil. That is the only explanation of the above verse.

Isaac was the son who Abraham had been willing to sacrifice. Notice that Isaac is called Abraham’s only son.

The promise made to Abraham was passed on to Isaac.

Gen 17:21 But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.

Isaac was used by God to test Abraham.

God chose Rebekah to be Isaac’s wife.

Gen 24:50 Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceedeth from the LORD: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good.
Gen 24:51 Behold, Rebekah is before thee, take her, and go, and let her be thy master's son's wife, as the LORD hath spoken.
Gen 24:52 And it came to pass, that, when Abraham's servant heard their words, he worshiped the LORD, bowing himself to the earth.

Gen 24:67 And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.

Rebekah bore twins to Isaac; note that they were two different types of people. Esau was to serve Jacob.

Gen 25:23 And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.

Gen 25:25 And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.
Gen 25:26 And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bore them.

God loved Jacob. God hated Esau. Esau despised the beautiful birthright. It is obvious that God hated Esau because he was not a devil, as Ishmael was, but was of Adams seed, and still despised the birthright.

Rom 9:13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.

God loved Isaac, and passed the blessings on to him.

Gen 26:24 And the LORD appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham's sake.

God blessed Isaac.

Gen 26:12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year a hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him.
Gen 26:13 And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great:

Isaac has qualified to be in Gods kingdom.

Mat 8:11 And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.

CHAPTER 15

JACOB [ISRAEL]

Jacob was the firstborn of twins, born to Isaac.

1Ch 1:34 And Abraham begot Isaac. The sons of Isaac; Esau and Israel.

God loved Jacob over Esau.

Mal 1:3 And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.

Rom 9:13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.

Jacob resorted to devious means to obtain the birthright and blessing; which should have gone to the elder brother.

Esau despised his birthright, and sold it for a meal.

Gen 25:31 And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.
Gen 25:32 And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me?
Gen 25:33 And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he swore unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.
Gen 25:34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright.

Esau despised his birthright and sold it to Jacob. Jacob took Esau’s blessing by deceit. Physical riches were promised to Jacob by Isaac: who thought he was blessing Esau.

Gen 27:28 Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine:
Gen 27:29 Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother's sons bow down to thee: cursed be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee.

The promises to Abraham were carried down to Isaac and then Jacob. Jacob paid for being deceitful, as Laban tricked him into working seven years for Rachel; then gave him Leah instead. Jacob then had to work another seven years to marry Rachel, whom he loved.

Jacob wrestled all night with God [most likely Jesus Christ] and had his name changed to Israel.

Gen 32:28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.

Israel had twelve sons; they are Joseph and the following eleven.

Exo 1:2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,
Exo 1:3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,
Exo 1:4 Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.

Joseph dreamed that his family would bow down to him. This caused his brothers to hate him.

Gen 37:5 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.
Gen 37:6 And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:
Gen 37:7 For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.
Gen 37:8 And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.
Gen 37:9 And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.
Gen 37:10 And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?

The sons of Israel sold Joseph into slavery. He was taken to Egypt where God prospered him. Joseph eventually brought his father and brothers to live in Egypt, because of a great famine.

The promises: which were originally given to Abraham; were passed on to Isaac, and then Jacob [Israel]. The promises were then passed on to Joseph’s sons Ephraim and Manasseh. All of the sons of Israel were given blessings, but the birthright blessing went to Ephraim and Manasseh. Gen. 49 gives the individual blessings.

Gen 49:1 And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days.

Jacob adopted Ephraim and Manasseh. Jacob mentioned Ephraim first, and compared him to Reuben who was Jacob’s firstborn.

Gen 48:4 And said unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, and I will make of thee a multitude of people; and will give this land to thy seed after thee for an everlasting possession.
Gen 48:5 And now thy two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, which were born unto thee in the land of Egypt before I came unto thee into Egypt, are mine; as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine.

Jacob deliberately gave the greater blessing to the younger son.

Gen 48:14 And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon Ephraim's head, who was the younger, and his left hand upon Manasseh's head, guiding his hands wittingly; for Manasseh was the firstborn.
Gen 48:15 And he blessed Joseph, and said, God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God which fed me all my life long unto this day,
Gen 48:16 The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.

Joseph wanted the firstborn to get the main blessing.

Gen 48:17 And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held up his father's hand, to remove it from Ephraim's head unto Manasseh's head.
Gen 48:18 And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for this is the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head.

Jacob said “He, [Manasseh] also shall be great, but Ephraim shall be greater.

Gen 48:19 And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it: he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations.
Gen 48:20 And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee shall Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh: and he set Ephraim before Manasseh.

God regards Ephraim as the firstborn. Manasseh was actually the firstborn, but when the blessings were given, Ephraim was put first. There is great interest in the blessings. Isaac was given firstborn status over Ishmael. Jacob was given the blessings over Esau. Reuben was Jacob’s firstborn, but was disqualified. Manasseh was Joseph’s firstborn, but God chose Ephraim to be the firstborn.

God put Ephraim as the firstborn to Jacob.

Jer 31:9 They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.

The blessings were given to Joseph, which included Ephraim and Manasseh.

Gen 49:22 Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall:

Deu 33:13 And of Joseph he said, Blessed of the LORD be his land, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that coucheth beneath,
the blessing was passed from Abraham to Isaac so Ishmael would not get any of the birthright blessing.

The blessing was passed to Jacob, so Esau would not get any of it.

Reuben was disqualified from receiving the firstborn blessing, but he still receives a blessing as a child of Jacob.

Manasseh was disqualified, bit still received a beautiful blessing after Ephraim.

Not one firstborn has received the blessing. This is because Satan has obviously tried to get the birthright for his own progeny.

CHAPTER 16

MOSES

Moses was not of the tribe of Judah or Joseph: He was a Levite.

1Ch 23:14 Now concerning Moses the man of God, his sons were named of the tribe of Levi.

Moses was destined from birth to do a great work for God. He was saved, when all Israelite babies were ordered to be killed.

Exo 1:22 And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive.

Exo 2:3 And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink.

Moses was rescued by Pharaohs daughter, and given to Moses’ mother to nurse him.

Exo 2:8 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child's mother.
Exo 2:9 And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the woman took the child, and nursed it.

Moses was brought up in the household of Pharaoh, but eventually he chose Gods way over the pleasures of sin.

Moses was chosen by God to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. The journey from Egypt to the Promised Land, with Moses the physical leader, is a type of our journey from the ways of this world to eternal life.

Heb 3:5 And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;

The knowledge of the exodus, with Moses the physical leader; is given in the article ‘The Knowledge of the Truth.’

Moses was a great man of God, and talked the Almighty out of killing the Israelites. He led the Israelites to the banks of the Jordan, but was not permitted to go to the Promised Land.

CHAPTER 17

TWO GODS ON THE MOUNTAIN

God the Father, and God the Word were on Mount Horeb, [Sinai] when the ten commandments were given.

EXODUS 24 V 9-11

9Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel: 10And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness. 11And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they saw God, and did eat and drink.

In the above scripture the God of Israel spoken of is Hebrew 430 {Strongs concordance} which means Elohym, This is God the word. This is also understood because the elders saw Him and ate and drank with Him.

You cannot look on God the Father {Hebrew 3068} and live.

In Exodus 24 v 12 the God who called Moses up to the top of the mountain and gave him the 10 commandments is Jehovah {H3068} …….3068 can only refer to God the Father it cannot refer to Christ. It refers to the Father only.

EXODUS 24 V 12

12And the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them.

The God who called Moses up to the top of the mountain and gave the ten commandments to him was H 3068 Jehovah.

This word 3068 can only be used for the Father.

The God who gave the commandments cannot be looked upon

EX 33 V 17-20

17And the LORD said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name. 18And he said, I beseech thee, show me thy glory. 19And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy. 20And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.

The God who spoke to Moses face to face is also H3068: God the Father.

EX 33 V 11

11And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.

Now you are probably wondering how this is possible, God the Father says you can’t look on me and live, and yet Moses spoke to him face to face, the following scriptures explain quite clearly how this happened.

EX 33 V 9

9And it came to pass, as Moses entered into the tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended, and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and the LORD talked with Moses.

PSALM 99 V 6-7

Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name; they called upon the LORD, and he answered them.
7 He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance that he gave them.

DEUT 5 V 4

4The LORD talked with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire,

We also know that in some instances God the Father appears invisible

1 TIM 1 V 17

7Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

He also appears in a vision

GEN 15 V 1

1After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.

But in this case He appeared in a cloud.

It is amazingly clear that the Johovah spoken of in the above scriptures is God the Father.

The scriptures are very plain: God the Father, who cannot be directly looked upon, gave the ten commandments. God the Word was on the mountain at the same time. The elders were able to look upon God the Word.

EXODUS 24 V 9-11

It is apparent that the angel mentioned in the next verse is god the Word [Christ] Christ is called an angel in the old testament. The lively oracles were obviously given to the elders when they saw God on Mt. Horeb.

Act 7:38 This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sinai, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us:

God the Father gave the ten commandments to Moses: He cannot be looked upon.

God the Word [Jesus Christ] gave the oracles to the elders, including Joshua: He can be looked upon.

They were both on the mountain at the same time.

CHAPTER 18

JOSHUA

Moses led the children to the banks of the Jordan, but God would not let him go into the Promised Land. Joshua was given the responsibility of taking the Israelites into the Promised Land. The prophet that God raised up is Joshua. A lot of false ministers have claimed to be this prophet. The angel mentioned can be ‘messenger’ and refers to Christ. The oracles are utterances of God.

Act 7:37 This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear.
Act 7:38 This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sinai, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles [utterances of God] to give unto us:

The exodus from Egypt [sin] to the Promised Land [eternal life in Gods Kingdom] gives the knowledge of eternal life.

Mr. Armstrong, who was the physical leader of the Philadelphian era of Gods church, took us to the banks of the Jordan, but was not given the knowledge of the truth, which is the knowledge of eternal life. He taught us the correct knowledge for that era, which made eternal life available. We must accept the knowledge of the Laodicean church, which is the knowledge of eternal life. This is different knowledge than we received in the Philadelphian church.

Joshua took the Israelites into the Promised Land, and they obeyed God all the time that he, and some righteous elders were in charge.

Jos 24:31 And Israel served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that overlived Joshua, and which had known all the works of the LORD, that he had done for Israel.

Joshua was a man of God from when the Israelites left Egypt, until his death. He was in charge of Israel for the only time in history that they obeyed God. The prophecy given by Moses, referred to Joshua, and was fulfilled.

Look at the following scripture Moses said God will raise up a prophet from you people{the people present at that time}, he is like me.{same heart and mind as Moses} That was Joshua.

Act 7:37 This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear.

The generation after Joshua rejected God.

Jdg 2:10 And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the LORD, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel.
Jdg 2:11 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim:

There were four hundred and fifty sorry years following the death of Joshua. Time and time again: Israel went whoring after strange Gods, and ended up in captivity.

Act 13:20 And after that he gave unto them judges about the space of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.

Jdg 2:11 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim:
Jdg 2:13 And they forsook the LORD, and served Baal and Ashtaroth.
Jdg 2:14 And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies.

Every time they repented, God raised up a judge to deliver them out of captivity. Some of the more notable ones were Gideon and Samson. The best way to understand this time is to read the book of Judges.

The time of the judges was a cruel time in history with death a common thing. Every one rejected God and they did what was right in their own eyes.

Jdg 17:6 In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes.

Sexual perversion became rife during the time of the judges, just as it always has since the creation of man. The following account is about a woman who was sexually abused, and died from that abuse.

Jdg 19:22 Now as they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, certain sons of Belial, beset the house round about, and beat at the door, and spoke to the master of the house, the old man, saying, Bring forth the man that came into thine house, that we may know him.
Jdg 19:23 And the man, the master of the house, went out unto them, and said unto them, Nay, my brethren, nay, I pray you, do not so wickedly; seeing that this man is come into mine house, do not this folly.
Jdg 19:24 Behold, here is my daughter a maiden, and his concubine; them I will bring out now, and humble ye them, and do with them what seemeth good unto you: but unto this man do not so vile a thing.
Jdg 19:25 But the men would not hearken to him: so the man took his concubine, and brought her forth unto them; and they knew her, and abused her all the night until the morning: and when the day began to spring, they let her go.
Jdg 19:26 Then came the woman in the dawning of the day, and fell down at the door of the man's house where her lord was, till it was light.
Jdg 19:27 And her lord rose up in the morning, and opened the doors of the house, and went out to go his way: and, behold, the woman his concubine was fallen down at the door of the house, and her hands were upon the threshold.

The time of the judges ended when the Israelites decided that they wanted a king.

CHAPTER 19

RUTH

The book of Ruth is an absolutely beautiful account of how a gentiles should be accepted in Israel. It is the complete opposite of how Israelites normally take on pagan Gods when they intermix with pagan nations.

Ruth was a Moabite who had married an Israelite husband. Ruth’s husband died.

Rth 1:4 And they took them wives of the women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they dwelled there about ten years.
Rth 1:5 And Mahlon and Chilion died also both of them; and the woman was left of her two sons and her husband.

Naomi was Ruth’s mother in law, and only wanted what was best for Ruth. Naomi did not try and force Ruth to become an Israelite.

Rth 1:8 And Naomi said unto her two daughters-in-law, Go, return each to her mother's house: the LORD deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt with the dead, and with me.

Notice Ruth’s beautiful reply, ‘your God will be my God’

Rth 1:14 And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law; but Ruth cleaved unto her.
Rth 1:15 And she said, Behold, thy sister-in-law is gone back unto her people, and unto her gods: return thou after thy sister-in-law.
Rth 1:16 And Ruth said, Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God:
Rth 1:17 Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, if aught but death part thee and me.

What a stark contrast to the Israelites who went whoring after pagan Gods.

Deu 31:16 And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and go a whoring after the gods of the strangers of the land, whither they go to be among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them.

The book of Ruth tells us how to treat strangers. We must look after strangers, those of the gentile nations: but we must not accept their pagan Gods.

Exo 22:21 Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

Exo 23:9 Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

Jer 7:6 If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt:

Zec 7:10 And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.

Mal 3:5 And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts.

Israel must take care of strangers, but they must not serve their Gods.

Jdg 3:5 And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and Hivites, and Jebusites:
Jdg 3:6 And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods.
Jdg 3:7 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and forgot the LORD their God, and served Baalim and the groves.

Ruth did not bring the Gods of Moab to Israel. She rejected those Gods for the God of Israel. Ruth married Boaz, and became part of the genealogy of Christ.

Mat 1:5 And Salmon begat Boaz of Rahab; and Boaz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;

Modern day Israel does take care of the stranger, but we do it on their terms. The gentile people bring their pagan Gods with them. They hate our way of life, and refuse to change to our standards, even though they are happy to take advantage of the blessings given to us.

Our Nations show more respect to Budda, Allah, and other pagan Gods, than they do to the God of Israel. God is blasphemed continually by Israel, but the pagan gods are given respect.

What a contrast Ruth is to Israel during the time of the judges. She forsook her Gods, and accepted the God of Israel. This is how gentiles must be accepted into Israel.

CHAPTER 20

SAMUEL AND SAUL

Samuel was a prophet who saw the end of the time of the judges, and the beginning of the time of the kings. He was born to Hannah who made a vow to God.

1Sa 1:11 And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head.

God approved of the birth of Samuel.

1Sa 1:17 Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition that thou hast asked of him.

1Sa 1:20 Wherefore it came to pass, when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived, that she bore a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, Because I have asked him of the LORD.

Samuel was to be lent to the Lord all the days of his life.

1Sa 1:28 Therefore also I have lent him to the LORD; as long as he liveth he shall be lent to the LORD. And he worshiped the LORD there.

God called to Samuel.

1Sa 3:4 That the LORD called Samuel: and he answered, Here am I.

God spoke to Samuel.

1Sa 3:11 And the LORD said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle.
1Sa 3:12 In that day I will perform against Eli all things which I have spoken concerning his house: when I begin, I will also make an end.
1Sa 3:13 For I have told him that I will judge his house forever for the iniquity which he knoweth; because his sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them not.
1Sa 3:14 And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be purged with sacrifice nor offering forever.

All Israel knew that Samuel was to be a prophet.

1Sa 3:20 And all Israel from Dan even to Beer-sheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the LORD.

The Ark of the Lord was taken by the Philistines; and Eli and his sons died.

1Sa 4:17 And the messenger answered and said, Israel is fled before the Philistines, and there hath been also a great slaughter among the people, and thy two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God is taken.
1Sa 4:18 And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of God, that he fell from off the seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck broke, and he died: for he was an old man, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years.

The ark of the Lord brought plagues and death to the Philistines, till they returned it to Israel.

1Sa 6:21 And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kirjath-jearim, saying, The Philistines have brought again the ark of the LORD; come ye down, and fetch it up to you.

Philistines were kept at bay during the time of Samuel.

1Sa 7:13 So the Philistines were subdued, and they came no more into the coast of Israel: and the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.

Israel wanted a king, instead of God.

1Sa 8:6 But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the LORD.
1Sa 8:7 And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.

Samuel anointed Saul to be the first king of Israel.

1Sa 10:1 Then Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said, Is it not because the LORD hath anointed thee to be captain over his inheritance?

Saul was told to wait seven days.

1Sa 10:8 And thou shalt go down before me to Gilgal; and, behold, I will come down unto thee, to offer burnt offerings, and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings: seven days shalt thou tarry, till I come to thee, and show thee what thou shalt do.

Saul sacrificed the offering without waiting for Samuel.

1Sa 13:8 And he tarried seven days, according to the set time that Samuel had appointed: but Samuel came not to Gilgal; and the people were scattered from him.
1Sa 13:9 And Saul said, Bring hither a burnt offering to me, and peace offerings. And he offered the burnt offering.

Saul failed the test, and his dynasty was to be ended.

1Sa 13:13 And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly: thou hast not kept the commandment of the LORD thy God, which he commanded thee: for now would the LORD have established thy kingdom upon Israel forever.
1Sa 13:14 But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the LORD hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the LORD hath commanded him to be captain over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the LORD commanded thee.

1Sa 15:10 Then came the word of the LORD unto Samuel, saying,
1Sa 15:11 It repenteth me that I have set up Saul to be king: for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments. And it grieved Samuel; and he cried unto the LORD all night.

When Samuel died: Saul went to a soothsayer.

1Sa 28:7 Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and inquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at Endor.

The witch saw a God come up from the ground, in the form of Samuel.

1Sa 28:13 And the king said unto her, Be not afraid: for what sawest thou? And the woman said unto Saul, I saw gods [God] ascending out of the earth.
1Sa 28:14 And he said unto her, What form is he of? And she said, An old man cometh up; and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground, and bowed himself.

A God had come up from the bottomless pit, imitating the deceased Samuel. This was one of the sons of God who are in the bottomless pit.

The bogus Samuel predicted Saul’s death, and said he would be with him next day. It seems that Saul was one of the devil’s seed, and would be taken to hades at his death.

1Sa 28:19 Moreover the LORD will also deliver Israel with thee into the hand of the Philistines: and tomorrow shalt thou and thy sons be with me: the LORD also shall deliver the host of Israel into the hand of the Philistines.

King Saul was chosen by God to be king, and, in the beginning, he had all the correct attributes.But later he disobeyed God and his dynasty was cut off.

1Sa 15:17 And Samuel said, When thou wast little in thine own sight, wast thou not made the head of the tribes of Israel, and the LORD anointed thee king over Israel?
1Sa 15:18 And the LORD sent thee on a journey, and said, Go and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they be consumed.
1Sa 15:19 Wherefore then didst thou not obey the voice of the LORD, but didst fly upon the spoil, and didst evil in the sight of the LORD?

CHAPTER 21

DAVID

Samuel anointed David to be king many years before he actually did become the king.

1Sa 16:1 And the LORD said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons.

1Sa 16:7 But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.

1Sa 16:11 And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither.

Jesse had eight sons in the account of Samuel, and seven sons in the account of Chronicles.

1Sa 16:10 Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. And Samuel said unto Jesse, The LORD hath not chosen these.
1Sa 16:11 And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither.

1Sa 17:12 Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehem-judah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons: and the man went among men for an old man in the days of Saul.

1Ch 2:13 And Jesse begot his firstborn Eliab, and Abinadab the second, and Shimma the third,
1Ch 2:14 Nethaneel the fourth, Raddai the fifth,
1Ch 2:15 Ozem the sixth, David the seventh:

There are two Davids, both with a father called Jesse. One Jesse had eight sons, and one Jesse had seven sons.

The David who played the harp was a man of war.

1Sa 16:18 Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, that is cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the LORD is with him.
1Sa 16:19 Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and said, Send me David thy son, which is with the sheep.

The David who slew Goliath was a youth.

1Sa 17:33 And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.

Saul did not know the young David, but he loved the other David, who was his armorbearer.

1Sa 17:55 And when Saul saw David go forth against the Philistine, he said unto Abner, the captain of the host, Abner, whose son is this youth? And Abner said, As thy soul liveth, O king, I cannot tell.
1Sa 17:56 And the king said, Inquire thou whose son the stripling is.

1Sa 16:21 And David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he loved him greatly; and he became his armorbearer.

The differences between the two Davids become apparent, when you are convinced that God cannot lie. The genealogies are different, and there are differences in the times of their reign. They are both promised descendants forever.

The two different Davids are mentioned regarding forever: one a king, and one a prince.

Eze 37:24 And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.
Eze 37:25 And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children's children forever: and my servant David shall be their prince forever.

CHAPTER 22

GOD’S MAGNIFICENT CREATION

Psa 19:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth his handiwork.

At the time of the creation; everything was very good.

Gen 1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

God’s creation which was very good, is subject to depravity.

Rom 8:20 For the creature [creation] was made subject to vanity [depravity], not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,

Depravity entered the world from the time of the beginning; this was the original creation.

God destroyed the original creation because of depravity.

Psa 104:29 Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.
Psa 104:30 Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.

Note the dual promise from God. God had used a flood to destroy the original animal, and plant life, and all humanity. He then used a flood to destroy mankind at the time of Noah. The flood at the time of Noah did not destroy the earth; the flood which was before Adam and Eve destroyed the face of the earth, and it had to be renewed.

Gen 9:11 And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.

2Pe 3:6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished.

God used disasters of nature to destroy mankind, and the earth. He then destroyed mankind [apart from Noah & co.] by the same method. The land will continue to vomit out sinners. Natural disasters will continue, and increase as the end time nears.

Lev 18:25 And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.
Lev 18:26 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you:
Lev 18:27 (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;)
Lev 18:28 That the land spew not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spewed out the nations that were before you.

Job 38:12 Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place;
Job 38:13 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?

Job 38:22 Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail,
Job 38:23 Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?

2Pe 3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

God has made the vast universe, including planet earth, so that it cannot bear sin. The whole universe is barren, and in decay, because of the original sins of the devil, and the sins of created humans. God renewed the earth at the time he created Adam, and Eve. He has not yet renewed the universe.

The land of Judah is the Promised Land, and was a land of milk and honey; abounding in beauty, and fertility. Many years of sin have brought this part of the earth to be a land of desert, and decay.

The depravity of the people of this earth is very great as the time of the end draws near. The earth is on the verge of vomiting out the sinners. The tsunami of 2004 killed 250,000 people, and is an example of the earth vomiting out sinners.

Talk about the wickedness of sin, mankind just does not consider the ramifications of it. Because of sin, mankind’s future is eternal death. [Only Christ’s sacrifice gives us escape from that.] Because of sin, the universe is decaying, and waxing old.

Psa 102:25 Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.
Psa 102:26 They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:

Creation, which is in pain, is waiting for the glorious liberty of the children of God.

Rom 8:21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
Rom 8:22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.

The universe has perished since the original creation, and, so far, only the earth has been renewed. God is going to use fire to destroy the universe, and then he is going to change the perished universe into a new universe: where righteousness dwells. The earth mentioned in the next verse is the soil on the planets, not the planet earth.

2Pe 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth [the earth on the planets, not the planet earth] also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
2Pe 3:11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
2Pe 3:12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
2Pe 3:13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

What a beautiful account of the great love of the great God. Mankind, and the universe have a death sentence, because of sin. Mankind can inherit eternal life, because of Christ, and the universe will live again, because of those who have accepted Christ’s sacrifice, and have attained eternal life. [This scripture is well worth quoting twice.]

2Pe 3:13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

This article is being finished with some of the verses, which apply to the earth after righteousness dwells in it; and also how it was at creation.

Psa 107:35 He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings.
Psa 107:36 And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;
Psa 107:37 And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.
Psa 107:38 He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.

Isa 35:1 The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.
Isa 35:2 It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, and the excellency of our God.

Eze 11:20 That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.

Amo 9:13 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt.

Rev 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
Rev 21:2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
Rev 21:3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
Rev 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
Rev 21:5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

Job 38:12 Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place;
Job 38:13 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?

Job 38:22 Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail,
Job 38:23 Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?
Job 38:24 By what way is the light parted, which scattereth the east wind upon the earth?
Job 38:25 Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder;
Job 38:26 To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness, wherein there is no man;
Job 38:27 To satisfy the desolate and waste ground; and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth?

Job 38:40 When they couch in their dens, and abide in the covert to lie in wait?
Job 38:41 Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat.

Rev 5:13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb forever and ever.

Psa 16:11 Thou wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures forevermore.

When I read the above scriptures: I tremble at the utter magnificence of the Great God of creation.
