Three World Ages (part 1)
We are going talk about the three world ages. There's no way that a Christian or anyone else can understand the Word of God unless they are aware of the foundation. You can never build upon anything without a good and solid foundation and it has a great deal to do with creation.
At this time in our nation and in the world, we have a great controversy over, “Well was it evolution or was it creation?” And the thoughts of many people no doubt is due to the influence of the Kenites upon our public school systems as well as their influence on other things, and that influence is that we must teach evolution which anyone in the scientific community knows is a lie; that is, if they are a true scientist. Every species on record, and I'm giving you a cold hard fact, whether you find them in a dig which dates to recent times or ancient times, the species are the same as they were. They haven't advanced one iota. Small marine life from the ice age are exactly like the small marine life of this day. You can still find them, no changes. You see, for Evolution to be valid, it must be an unending process or it's just a lie. In other words you would have to be able to look out of your window today and see species in every stage of evolution. It would have to be an on going process. Well that's obvious. But you don't see that. Why? Because it is a lie. It’s all a big lie. And as I said, those in the scientific community that have any knowledge, they know what I’m saying is true. But a lot of people in the scientific community [look for ways to explain away God’s creation]. So they like to dream in boom-boom land or something and have lost touch with reality. What I'm stating is cold hard facts that nothing has changed and no one can prove otherwise. So isn't it time that we put that theory to bed? Yet we're forced to teach it to our children! We should just quite simply tell them that there are certain bureaucrats that like to teach lies because they lean so far left that they're confused, and then give them the truth!
What we are about to study is the TRUTH, the foundation of this world and that our Father created it. He spoke and nothing became everything. You know our Father does all things in a natural sense and when you look aside from His nature then you lose contact from our Father. If we were to say, as most ministers teach, that the world age that we are presently in was created about 6 000 years ago, then we are teaching contrary to God's Word. God's Word states that the age of this earth is eons. This is why the Shepherd’s Chapel did the documentary on the dinosaur tracks and teach that millions of years ago they were placed there. I mean it's obvious, it is a fact, and you have some bible-thumpers that state, “The Word of God states that this earth is 6000 years old.” It does not state that! I challenge anyone to document where God's Word states that this earth is 6000 years old. They won’t be able to because it doesn't. In fact, it states quite to the contrary. It says that there was even an age before this earth age. The same earth, the same heaven, yet there were different ages. Many things happened in that age before this one, and they are all written in our Fathers Word.
I want to start this lecture, if I may, in Psalms chapter 104 where we are in the beginning. Let's go with it. Psalms 104, verse 1… and rest easy with this subject. As we go along, it will solidify for you.
Psalms 104:1 Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.
He is honest, but in His majestic sense, He can do what ever He so chooses.
Psalms 104:2 Who coverest [thyself] with light as [with] a garment:
He is the light.
who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:
He created the heavens.
104:3 Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot:
Yes, those chariots spoken of in Ezekiel chapter 1 on which His very throne was transported. A very natural sense when you understand the nature of things and those vehicles. You might say, "Well we today couldn't create such a vehicle.” No. But they were in the world that was and they are in heaven even at this time. It was in those same vehicles, no doubt, that the fallen angels came in Genesis chapter 6 . There's no doubt about it. There are traces on this earth; facts and documents. Even in Central America there are landing fields and directions given and recorded by the ancients as to their being. Alright. His clouds His chariot. Nasca Lines in Peru (Image 1)

who walketh upon the wings of the wind:
Do you understand what that means? Who can walk in the spirit, which is the wind, ruach? We in this flesh do not see that dimension necessarily unless God so chooses. Verse 4:
Psalms 104:4 Who maketh his angels
That is to say His messengers, those that convey messages.
spirits;
He makes them as the wind. The ruach.
his ministers a flaming fire:
Now, I have a work entitled Ministers of fire and within them you understand why God chose some before the foundation of this earth age, which was approximately 6000 years ago, but only the foundation of this age. That's why it is written in Ephesians chapter 1 verse 4, “I chose you before the foundation of this earth, this age.” How could He do that? Because we were His children even then. Where does your soul come from? Well it comes from God. That's exactly what I mean. Some might ask, “You mean, I lived before?” Well, you just answered it yourself. You came from God. You were with Him. And we will discover the great overthrow at the foundation of this earth age and what caused it. Then you will begin to understand your Father's Word in more depth and with more clarity. You will also better understand the ministers of fire who are God's elect and the kings and queens of this earth age. You will learn that they earned the right to be called elect. Verse 5:
Psalms 104:5 [Who] laid the foundations of the earth,
This goes back millions of years ago.
[that] it should not be removed for ever.
The ages will change, the cosmos will change, but never the terra firma (solid earth) never the ‘erets (earth). It shall, that is to say the soil, shall stay the same, that is to say, the earth in its proper orbit. You know we've done enough vehicular space travel as human beings that we're beginning to look around and by observing the other planets we recognize that ours is a very special planet indeed. God placed it here in its proper orbit; He hung it here causing the climate, yes, even the perfect climate before the overthrow when the earth was shielded with the firmament, that special solution. He left a bit of the firmament and we call it the ozone, which has dissipated because of pollution, but the firmament that was there originally would even stop aging. Verse 6:
Psalms 104:6 Thou coveredst it with the deep as [with] a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.
What it's saying here is that God created the earth and the earth stood out of the water as it is written in Genesis. [That water being that protective firmament overhead, above even the mountains.] But because of what we know the Hebrew states [that something happened causing it to become empty and void], tôhû va bôhû [in the Hebew] You'll learn that term before we finish this lecture and the next, the one that will follow. It means the earth became void and without form. Not that it was created void and without form. Why did it become void and without form? Because of Satan's first rebellion. Within the Greek you have a verb katabole in Ephesians chapter 1 verse 4. You'll find it again in that great seed chapter which is Matthew chapter 13 when Christ said there were mysteries that were hidden before the katabole which was that overthrow of Satan and the world [before the foundations of this world age].
Katabolē – καταβολή – G2602
1) a throwing or laying down
a) the injection or depositing of the virile semen in the womb
b) of the seed of plants and animals
2) a founding (laying down a foundation)
from G2598 – kataballō – καταβάλλω
1) to cast down
a) to throw to the ground, prostrate
2) to put in a lower place
a) to lay (down) a foundation
I'm going to teach you of that overthrow. Oh, It's documented and you'll find it, so let it flow for the moment. I will document everything I say from our Father's Word so that you may know and understand the creation and why we're even in this earth age and why God destroyed the age that was. That is recorded in Revelation chapter 12 within the very opening verses. It covers a long period of time. It goes back to the world that was and speaks of the old dragon with his same political structure that he will use in very near future. He deceived one third of God's children called the stars, which are the souls that were there, those same souls that He sent to be born of women, innocent, giving us a chance to chose.
Revelation 12:4-9 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
Will you follow that one that led astray the world that was or will you follow Christ? Will you love your Father? For it was for that reason that I, in my own opinion, believe that God destroyed that earth age whereby He would not have to destroy His children. You know, it takes quite a bit to destroy one of your children. He did sentence Satan to death, but here, in this earth age, God gives everyone a fair and fresh start. We are born innocent with all memory erased of the world that was. Ah, I think occasionally that one of God's elect, for a fleeting moment, sees a place, a thing, a condition that the mind itself strains in an effort to recognize or to recall. It’s that strange feeling of; I've been here before. This has happened before, and it comes over them. I think it goes far deeper than most might think. But for that reason, it is God's will that all would come to repentance and believe upon Him whereby He does not destroy them in that great lake of fire during that time before we go into that third earth age which is eternal. In the Eternity, there will be nothing there that offends. Let's continue on verse 7:
Psalms 104:7 At thy rebuke they fled;
Those waters fled instantly. Not the year that it took as recorded in Genesis, for Noah's little old flood to depart, but this at this flood and at God’s command, instantly the waters fled.
at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.
Instantly covering. You know, anyone that walks through the country can see areas of earth that cut away. Also, when you're driving down a highway and you see layer after layer. Even here in the state of Arkansas you've all heard me describe before where our native stones are limestone, sandstone, or flint. And you find seashells that have been dropped through this area from the ice age that are in the layers. Yes, seashells. Not our country rock or common rock. Why? How did that happen? You know why when you understand God's plan and understand the katabole, which is the overthrow. No, not Noah's flood for those waters slowly receded. But after the katabole, as God spoke the spirit moved upon the waters and they fled away and there was dry land as is documented in Genesis chapter 1, after the katabole. Verse 8:
Psalms 104:8 They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them.
In other words, many believe that before the overthrow (the katabole) that the earth was all one solid mass and as this particular age was formed the land mass split and the Americas drifted away from what is now called Africa. And the continental shapes definitely align to that.

But be that as it may, another subject for another time. But it did move and He placed the boundaries. Verse 9:
Psalms 104:9 Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over;
The coast of this great nation.
that they turn not again to cover the earth.
He has promised that He will never destroy the earth again by water, covering it fully. That promise and rededication was made certainly at the time of Noah's flood.
We're going to go to the New Testament where Peter spoke of these things. If they seem foreign to you, you simply haven't studied God's Word. 2 Peter, chapter 3, we go there at this time to carry though on this thought where Peter has one chapter dedicated to the three world ages. Did you know that? Well then listen to it as we study our Father's Word. Chapter 3 and verse 1, 2nd Peter:
2 Pet 3:1 This second epistle, beloved,
And the 1st was written to the elect and he is writing this 2nd letter to the same people, documenting and identifying whom it is addressed to whereby you better understand.
I now write unto you; in [both] which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:
I want your memory to be shaken back even to that world that was, if it be possible, and that you know and understand that God is in control and that time as we count it means nothing with Him, and that that time would come. He’s saying I want to stir your minds and cause you to remember. Verse 2:
2 Pet 3:2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets,
I want you to be aware of those words spoken by the prophets of the Old Testament.
and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:
That is to say the commandments of the Gospels and of the New Testament, especially the prophets of old and the Psalm that we just finished. Psalms 104 was a prophesy by David and David was a prophet as is declared in Acts chapter 2. You may have never have considered him so but he was and so were the apostles, especially Paul who was the writer of a large portion of the New Testament. He spoke of this mystery over-and-over and yet most people do not know. Why? Well we'll find out here in a moment. 3:
2 Pet 3:3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
These are mockers. Verse 4:
2 Pet 3:4 And saying,
This is what those mockers and scoffers will say, “Where is the promise of his coming? Where is your 2nd advent?”
for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as [they were] from the beginning of the creation.
The scoffers continue, “Nothing has ever changed. Everything is the same. There is no God perhaps and certainly He is not coming.” Have you ever heard that? It will especially wax worse and worse in these end times. Verse 5:
2 Pet 3:5 For this they willingly
What's that word? For this they willingly, they request it, they desire.
willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out
Underline it in your mind, OUT
of the water and in the water:
In other words, there was an age before this and people are willingly ignorant of that because they don't want to be accountable for knowledge. They don't want to understand the plan of God. Most churches today cop out and say, "All you have to do is believe." Believe what friend? Believe in the antichrist ? That's what they are leading you to if they teach a rapture theory. Leading you straight to worshiping antichrist. The first messiah that comes is a fake. He's the false messiah. And they don’t teach that the earth was of old. In other words, that there was an age before this one which was standing out of the water. And this is not after the earth became void as you read in Genesis chapter 1. There was nothing standing out of the water. God ordered the waters to hasten away after He destroyed that earth age and it then it became habitable again. I can hear them now, “Well isn't He talking about Noah's flood?” No way friend, no way! God totally and completely destroyed every being in the katabole. I'll document that in the next lecture. Verse 6:
2 Pet 3:6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished (G622):
Do yourself a favor and check this word “perish” out in the Greek and find out that it also means void and without form, in a sense, in that it means nothingness.
G622
ἀποìλλυμι – apollumi - ap-ol'-loo-mee
From G575 and the base of G3639; to destroy fully (reflexively to perish, or lose), literally or figuratively: - destroy, die, lose, mar, perish.
Do you know what perished means? Everything of that age perished. To the contrary, with Noah's flood many people lived through it. I myself do not believe that the flood was world wide, but that it simply covered the entire places of the earth where the Nephilim had impregnated the daughters of Adam and as a result were trying to prevent the birth of Christ. This was an attack by satan's documented in Genesis chapter 6.
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, 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. 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 an hundred and twenty years. 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 bare [children] to them, the same [became] mighty men which [were] of old, men of renown.
It is written and anyone can read of it; those that do not wish to be willingly ignorant, that God destroyed those hybrids whereby the seed line through Noah would be perfect and the Christ child could come to this earth born of woman. That world age and the heaven age that was before the katabole, before the flesh age, perished. That means that it was no more and that there would be a new age, the flesh. Verse 7:
2 Pet 3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now,
[Now, that means in Peter’s time, your time, the flesh age] Do you think Noah's flood destroyed the heaven that was [the first age]? No! That's what it's saying here. The heaven from before was destroyed. Naturally, Noah's flood did not destroy the heaven which is now, but the katabole did. It was the heaven age that was destroyed right along side the earth age that was. It's still the same heaven. It's still the same earth. Now we come to the second.
But the heavens and the earth, which are now
That is to say, the second earth age and the second heavenly age.
that by the same word
What word? God's Word
are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
What does this word perdition mean? The word perished is the same thing. It is those that shall perish, that God shall destroy. Even now they are held in reserve, even the fallen angels that are held with Michael that shall be cast [out to this earth], they shall die. [Those] 7000, [fallen ones] when the 2 witnesses rise from the streets of Jerusalem. [The first age was destroyed at God’s anger by water, the Nephilim were destroyed by water, but judgment of all flesh at the end is by fire, for God is a consuming fire]. It IS written. Now really think for me, sharpen up. Verse 8:
3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant
Please do not be ignorant.
of this one thing, that one day [is] with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
Now, how many days was it that God was creating the earth? 7 Days. 6 days rather for He created 6 days and He rested the 7th. We are almost at the end of the 6000-year period. [Meaning that flesh man’s history dates back 6000 years, generation-to-generation from the time of Adam. Man has toiled and labored under the sun for 6000 years, or 6 of the Lord’s days.] That's true, in this earth age. Then what comes? The 7th day, which is what? The day of rest. Which is what? It is the millennium. Don't be ignorant to that fact. [God’s day of rest will be that 7th day, a day of rest from evil and satan as he is bound in the pit for a 1000 years.]
[To show that the earth is older than the short 6000 years flesh man has been here, we need to open our eyes to what we can see.] Many wonder about dinosaur bones and mammoth bones from the world that we find in places like Alaska; a mammoth tooth even in this studio. I've showed it to you before and shared it with you; a great bone that was found by people I am personally familiar with. But in Alaska, there were bones found with meat that still on them, they were cooked, taken off of the bone, and they were preserved so well that they fed the meat to the dogs and they ate it. And the mammoths were found with buttercups still in their mouths, they were preserved that well under that frozen tundra. What happened in that one quick instant that froze everything instantly? And it all dates back about 14000 years ago, almost 13,000 to 14,000.

Even that in and of itself shows that great change of weather that would instantly freeze and preserve these mammoths; and there they are today. What are you going to say about them if you say the earth is only 6000 years old? It's no wonder that we lose all trials because the courts will not let one with intelligence witness. First off, they do not recognize the Word of God as fact and therefore you can't use it. But even with documentation that is present now that this chapel works to produce one each month, that preserves truth, and puts together documentaries, whereby when the next case comes along that we will be able to use those facts in a Christian way, to document and fight the theory of evolution which is a lie. God's Word is really quite simple. It is man that tries to make it difficult. Verse 9:
2 Pet 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise,
If God promises you something, He's not slack about it. You can count on it.
as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward,
He suffers long with us. That means He's patient.
not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
This day that we were speaking of regarding perishing and perdition; it isn't God's will that anybody perish. It wasn't God's will that even satan would perish, but satan chose it because of his actions, and I’m sure much to His grief, our Father had to sentence that one to death. Some might say, “Well, does that mean if it is God's will all will be saved, he should have saved him?” No, it is written also that many will fail. But God would like for them to be saved. After all, they are His children, but they will not all make it. It is another way of saying that He wishes that they would turn to Him and be saved all on their own. Now many will say right here that "God's all powerful so why can't He do that?" And you've heard me explain it many times before, but I feel that this is the time to do it again. There is one thing that God will not do and I might even add further, cannot do. He cannot create souls for His pleasure and His company and then force them to love Him and have it be true love. You cannot force true love, even love from your own mate. Love generates from within each entity and only the entity. Only she or he has the ability to create that love. It's a very natural thing. So, if God were to force someone to love Him it would be fake love. And friend, He doesn't want your fake love for that is no love at all. You don't con Him for a minute. Therefore it is His wish that all love Him. If you love Satan and his ways and the ways of man then you’ll go to hell. Those that choose this path go to the pit and they will perish. But it's not His choice it is yours. Verse 10:
2 Pet 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night;
It means it will surprise as a thief always does.
in the which the heavens shall pass away
The heaven age that was and the heaven age that is now. That is why “heavens” is plural.
with a great noise, and the elements
Translate the word elements as rudiments, and translate the word evil rudiments.
"elements”, stoicheion - click here
It means “rudiments”, which means only the evil part will be destroyed. Only the good part is left behind.
G4747
στοιχεῖον – stoicheion - stoy-khi'-on
Neuter of a presumed derivative of the base of G4748; something orderly in arrangement, that is, (by implication) a serial (basal, fundamental, initial) constituent (literally), proposition (figuratively): - element, principle, rudiment.
shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
Many say,“That's the atomic holocaust” and they know not of what they speak. There's going to be nothing left in an atomic holocaust, so it is everything but an atomic holocaust. Our Father is the consuming fire.
Hebrews 12:29 For our God [is] a consuming fire.
He does not say that the earth itself will be destroyed. He says the rudiments, the evilness, and the wickedness will all be burned away [even flesh] and there will be nothing but righteousness left; though our righteousness are as filthy rags.
Zechariah 14:12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
It is the evil things that shall melt away. That's why it is written that on the first day of the millennium that every knee shall bow. Verse 11:
2 Pet 3:11 [Seeing] then [that] all these things shall be dissolved,
That's the evilness, the wickedness.
what manner [of persons] ought ye to be in [all] holy conversation and godliness,
What should you be prepared for? You should be mentally prepared for it. That's what you should be thinking about. That's where you need to be putting your conversations, is preparing yourself mentally by understanding the word that is spoken that brings these things to pass and to see that you please your Father. And as it is His will, that you love Him and come to repentance and are saved and that you accomplish it. But you've got to do it on your own. You can't listen to the traditions of men for they don't teach in that depth. It isn't popular. Verse 12:
2 Pet 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
Again, what are they? The rudiments, the evil rudiments.
shall melt with fervent heat?
Why? The last verse of Hebrews chapter 12
For our God [is] a consuming fire.
God is a consuming fire. His Shekinah Glory and His love warms your heart if you are his. It's called the Holy Spirit, the Comforter. But to the wickedness, it will burn them at that time. God loves you, He doesn't want to hurt you. Verse 13:
2 Pet 3:13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
Now a lot of people say, “We are going to a different place. This one will be destroyed.” And they don't understand that this earth will be rejuvenated. It's a new earth age and a new heaven age; it's the third age. The third as Peter so adequately brings forth. See that you understand the end and the changing of the ages. [As this earth was shifted 90 miles off from true north, that shift back into that perfect dimension will take place. A new age for heaven and earth where everything will be right from that point on into the eternity.]
We're going to run over it, with teaching a little bit. I want to finish this chapter. 14:
2 Peter 3:14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
Dear one our spot is not the spot of the Kenite. Our spot that makes us spotless is our wanting to please God, to love Him, to come into repentance, to teach His Word, and to stand for Him not the rudiments. We want to come out of the rudiments. Many teach rudiments in the name of Christ, coming in His name when they are not with Him, and they know not what they speak of. Know you Father's Word. Mentally prepare yourself by understanding the Word for yourself. Verse15:
3:15 And account [that] the longsuffering of our Lord [is] salvation;
Because He is willing to be patient and wait for each entity to have an opportunity to show that they love His ways or satan’s ways.
even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
Here Peter gives credentials to Paul. Many would like to strip Paul of his credentials. Even that great fisherman gives Paul credentials by the wisdom by which Paul taught. You see, Paul taught on three levels and most people can't handle that nor do they comprehend it. They may comprehend one level but not the mystery that Paul spoke of and taught on these 3 levels of the three world ages. 16:
2 Pet 3:16 As also in all [his] epistles,
Whose epistles? Paul’s… most of the New Testament.
speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest,
They can't understand it. They don't know the books of the Bible much less where they are located. The thing that is most valuable to them is what they are most ignorant about. It's a shame. A love letter, written from our Father to each of His children, and most have not read it with understanding.
as [they do] also the other scriptures,
They can't handle them.
unto their own destruction.
It will destroy you if you don't begin to prepare yourself mentally for that which is about to come. It's that simple. It’s your choice. That's what this earth age is all about. You make your own bed and you're going to sleep right in her friend. 17:
2 Pet 3:17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know [these things] before,
You knew about them before, we talked about them before.
beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked,
The rudiments.
fall from your own stedfastness.
See that you don't lose. It's real easy to be deceived by the false messiah at the very end of this earth age. Verse 18:
2 Pet 3:18 But grow in grace,
What is grace? Grace is that wonderful gift that God gives us that you don't deserve which is unmerited favor of God. You receive it when you try. That's why your mind opens and you begin to remember better and when you pray to Him and ask Him to give you knowledge and understanding. It's because of His grace.
and [in] the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him [be] glory both now and for ever. Amen.
This earth in it's rejuvenated form. Our Father which art in heaven Hallowed be they name. Thy kingdom. Thy will be done on EARTH as it is in heaven. There will always be that heaven and there will always be this earth. God's throne is in heaven. It's coming to this earth. That's why the description and the shape of heaven is described as that new city that is 1500 miles into space, a cube in other words, because it is coming to this earth. This earth shall always be inhabited. The description given in Revelation chapter 21 states in the Greek not that this earth is new, but RENEWED. A better English word would be rejuvenated, made fit to live upon. It shall be done, and it shall come to pass. Where will you be dear one? Forever in eternity for simply trying? That's all you have to do, is to commit to the best of your ability willingly try to know and understand and learn your Father's letter. You need to understand those things that have been whereby you understand that our Father is just. He doesn't burn people for no reason. He doesn't hurt people for no reason. All things that He does are just and fair and righteous. It's like in the last lecture we noted that we had a letter or call from a person that wanted to know why 70,000 people had to also pay for David's sin. Well, no, they didn't pay for David's sin, they paid for their own sins because they had committed a similar sin worthy of death and God killed them. He took them from this earth age. For what reason? For hate? No. He did it for chastisement whereby others would see and fear and begin to follow the commandments of the living God. God is totally and completely fair. If you ever understand something in a position and or alike, that it may appear that God is not fair, you are in error. Read longer, study harder, look deeper and you will always see our Father is of love as He smiles down upon you, willing that you come to repentance. Can you repent? All you have to do is say Father help me. I repent and I want You. I don't want death. Do it, do it today. Won't you do that? Ok God bless you.
You know, it takes a great deal sometimes to de-scramble, you know the scramble is quite a thing anymore. But it takes a great deal sometimes to un-scramble or de-scramble the input put into you mind over a period of years from would-be Bible teachers and Sunday school teachers, or what have you. Now they mean well, bless their hearts, but it can sure make fools out of Christians. When you must on your faith stand and say, “This world is only 6000 years old” when God's Word declares it is not! But some bible-thumper has most Christian churches declaring that and the scientific community snickers, and it's no wonder that they do. They should because only a fool would make a statement like that. God's Word in itself, through the teachings of Peter that we covered in the last lecture, the three earth ages declares the earth is of old. We're going to complete this lecture on the three world ages because it's really not that complicated when you listen to your Father's word rather than man’s. I'm going to teach you that in the second verse we read a Hebrew word and I don't want you to ever forget it because it's important. So where do we start and where do we go to get the truth? The beginning. What does the word that means the beginning? Genesis. So let’s go to Genesis chapter 1, verse 1. May we ask a word of wisdom from our Father as we go into His Word; bearing in mind those words of Peter. Listen to how it tells right here in the first two verses that there was a span of history that is eons or millions of years. Listen to it. Chapter 1, verse 1, Genesis:Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
PERIOD. Now when did it say God did that? It didn't. It said “In the beginning” He created the heaven and the earth, PERIOD. It doesn't say there is a specific time involved in that creation other than the beginning.
Who was with God when He accomplished this? You have to find that out in the book of Proverbs and it’s in the eighth chapter of Proverbs, and this is Wisdom speaking. Wisdom was with the Father at that time. We’re going to take a little time. I want to do this whereby you follow along. The eighth Proverb, verse twenty-two, and it reads:
Pro 8:22 The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way,
Again, “in the beginning”
before his works of old.
Even before that works of old which is to say the first earth age; Wisdom naturally was with Him. Why? Because all wisdom flows from God. Verse 23:
Pro 8:23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
Before the earth was even formed, even in the first earth age, I was with Him. That’s to say wisdom was. 24:
Pro 8:24 When there were no depths,
That means when there was no ocean;
I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.
Wisdom was with the Father. Verse 25:
Pro 8:25 Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:
I was here [Wisdom speaking]. 26:
Pro 8:26 While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.
That means not the least little atom of the world; Wisdom was with Him. Why did I cover those verses? Because I want you to see that many things are mentioned in God’s word concerning this subject and people are simply not aware of them.
Now, do you think that God ever created anything in chaos? Do you think God ever created something bad coming out-the-gate? The answer to that is no. Why? Because wisdom was with Him before the first stone of this world was formed. And wisdom does not agree with chaos. Now, how did chaos come about then? Well let’s read, let’s understand [here in a moment from verse 2 of Genesis].
Now when was that beginning, after God created the heaven and the earth to be inhabited, what happened to it? Do you know of Satan's rebellion? Do you know of the great shaking that took place before even the foundations of this earth? Now listen to this second verse. Even in the English, listen to it. Verse 2:
Gen1:2 And the earth was without form, and void;
Underline the word VOID. I'm going to give it to you in the Hebrew and I don't want you to ever forget it.
and darkness [was] upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
The spirit of God had moved on it before this. The word void tôhû in the Hebrew tongue means absolutely, utterly, and completely waste, void, and destroyed.
H8414
תּהוּ - tôhû - to'-hoo
From an unused root meaning to lie waste; a desolation (of surface), that is, desert; figuratively a worthless thing; adverbially in vain: - confusion, empty place, without form, nothing, (thing of) nought, vain, vanity, waste, wilderness.
H922
bôhû - bo'-hoo
From an unused root (meaning to be empty); a vacuity, that is, (superficially) an undistinguishable ruin: - emptiness, void.
So what does it really say here? It says that in the beginning God created the heaven and the earth PERIOD. There was an entire age in that first verse.
Now we need to translate that word “was" properly, which is "became". So properly translated you would have the verse read:
"And the earth BECAME void and without form and darkness was upon the face of the deep."
H1961
היה - hâyâh - haw-yaw'
A primitive root (compare H1933); to exist, that is, be or become, come to pass (always emphatic, and not a mere copula or auxiliary): - beacon, X altogether, be (-come, accomplished, committed, like), break, cause, come (to pass), continue, do, faint, fall, + follow, happen, X have, last, pertain, quit (one-) self, require, X use.
In other words, the world wasn’t created void and without form, it “became” void and without form. When? When Satan rebelled, when a third of God’s children began to follow Satan; there was turmoil and God did destroy that first earth age and brought in this earth age.
So what you’re talking about as we begin this next verse here in a little bit, we’re going to do a lot of documenting of what I’m saying first, there was the overthrow of Satan’s power spoken of in Ezekiel 28 as to how he was actually an archangel that was supposed to cover the mercy seat as it is written in that twenty-eighth chapter of Ezekiel. And he began to take pride within himself, and he began to have the children of God worship him instead of God, because of one thing –pride, pride within self. So it’s important that you know the earth wasn’t made that way it became void and without form. Why? God destroyed that that was. And it is written, and I’ll be most happy to document that for you.
Let’s go if we may to the great prophet Isaiah, Isaiah chapter 45. Let’s read of this and remember what I said, that void, tôhû, is “without form”, absolute chaos, meaning there is zip, nada, nothing. And in that 45th chapter, the 18th verse of the great Book of Isaiah it reads, listen carefully:
Isa 45:18 For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it;
He did what? He formed it and he made it.
he hath established it, he created it not in vain, H8414
Not in tôhû.
Tôhû. - formlessness, confusion, unreality, emptiness
a) formlessness (of primeval earth)
1) nothingness, empty space
b) that which is empty or unreal (of idols) (fig)
c) wasteland, wilderness (of solitary places)
d) place of chaos
e) vanity
he formed it to be inhabited: H3427
inhabited = yashab – ישב – H3427
1) to dwell, remain, sit, abide
a) (Qal)
1) to sit, sit down
2) to be set
3) to remain, stay
4) to dwell, have one's abode
b) (Niphal) to be inhabited
c) (Piel) to set, place
d) (Hiphil)
1) to cause to sit
2) to cause to abide, set
3) to cause to dwell
4) to cause (cities) to be inhabited
5) to marry (give an dwelling to)
e) (Hophal)
1) to be inhabited
2) to make to dwell
Not to be destroyed. Not in emptiness. Not in vain. He formed it, He made it, He created it good. To be inhabited by who? His children.
I am the LORD; and there is none else.
Why? Because God destroyed that earth age. There was a time before this destruction that all of the children of God sang and were happy. They were joyful. It's written in the 8th chapter of Proverbs as well as in another place, Job, which we will study before we complete this lecture in this setting.
Job 38:7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
And then unhappiness came on the scene with sorrow and greed on Satan's part. It's written in Ezekiel 28. It's just that people will not listen to our Father's Word. Instead, they listen to men. And dark clouds did form on the horizon as Satan, who is called Tyre meaning rock, in that chapter in Ezekiel. Not our Rock but the fake. He began to try to take over the mercy seat, which was reserved for Messiah. And he himself was condemned to death.
Ezekiel 28
In this 28th chapter of God identifies the son of perdition (satan) of the New Testament whereby there is no doubt in your mind and He will talk about satan himself even in the first earth age. He will begin in the first part of chapter 28 speaking of satan after his fall where there he is only called a prince; he’s prince of the hour of darkness, like now. But before that he was a king or was likened unto a king. So the only individual that’s already had the great white throne judgment is satan. Remember again, the word Tyrus means rock. [And don’t forget our lecture on Types. Just as Jonah was a type for Christ, the prince of Tyrus is a type for satan]:
Tyrus – Tsor - H6865 = Tyre or Tyrus = "a rock"
But I guarantee you he is not our rock. Chapter 28, verse 1:
Eze 28:1 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
Eze 28:2 Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus,
He’s no longer a king and you could even go ahead and say the prince of the air of the darkness. (Ephesians 2:2, John 12:31; 14:30; 16:1, Matthew 9:34; 12:24; Mark 9:34; Luke 11:15) He’s the false rock, stone, which ever you wish to call it. The Hebrew word is rock.
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thine heart [is] lifted up,
In other words you are so proud and so sold on yourself.
and thou hast said, I [am] a God, I sit [in] the seat of God, in the midst of the seas;
God continues:
yet thou [art] a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:
I want you to make a note of a couple of scriptures; 2 Thessalonians, chapter 2, verses 3-4, where Paul is saying there is no way that Christ is coming in the 2nd Advent to gather us back to him until after the son of perdition is revealed in the Holy place claiming to be God.
2 Thess 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
[When this man of sin is revealed it takes place in the last part of the 2nd age when Christ's return reveals that he's the fake. The change of bodies happens beginning the 3rd age, flesh is done away with, and he will sit in the midst of the congregation and those that see him will say, "Is this the man that deceived the nations?". The following verses also look forward to that 3rd heaven and earth age. But don’t be fooled, this so-called man is satan himself. Hold on and it will become clear.]
You’ve got the same scripture right here. I want you to make another reference where satan is not called Tyrus this time but he’s called Lucifer. It doesn’t matter what name you call him by, for the name Lucifer is where he copies Christ, the morning star. That’s what the word Lucifer means in the Hebrew tongue. Isaiah chapter 14:12:
Isa 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! [how] art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 14:13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14:14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. 14:15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. 14:16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, [and] consider thee, [saying, Is] this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
And he is cast into the pit. He always wanted to play God and sit on the side of the North, but they will look into the pit and say, “Is this the man?” the word 'iysh – איש in the Hebrew. “Is this the MAN that deceived the world?” The reason I do that is I don’t want you to let the word man deceive you. We have one Father. He is God. And all the angelic beings fall under him. And never think that it is strange that an angelic being is called a man because what does the name Gabriel mean? It means MAN OF GOD simply put.
H1403 – Gabriel - Gabriel = "warrior of God" or "man of God"
1) an archangel; the angel God used to send messages of great importance to man; sent to Daniel, to Zacharias, and to Mary
So God’s talking about satan. “You always wanted to take my place” is what God is saying. Verse 3, back in 2 Ezekiel, chapter 28:
Eze 28:3 Behold, thou [art] wiser than Daniel;
Boy he’s sharp
there is no secret that they can hide from thee:
He knows every weakness you’ve got friend. If you stand against him, he knows you. He knows your weakness so he can talk advantage of you. Verse 4:
Eze 28:4 With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures:
This means just as the city of Tyre, which was trade centers then, which is now cargo that goes around the world. He still, back in business. Verse 5:
Eze 28:5 By thy great wisdom [and] by thy traffick hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches:
You are so proud of yourself. You know, that is the main weapon that satan will use against you. He’ll start telling you what a great person you are. And boy you better let the hair on the back of you neck rise if he starts working on you in that way. A lot of people that like to go onto ego trips fall right into that trap. They say to themselves “Well this is a good judge of character. Realizes I’m something very special”… Verse 6:
[Now mind you, in this next verse, God is speaking to Lucifer in regarding what he did in that 1st world age]
Eze 28:6 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God;
In other words, because you want to play God. 7:
Eze 28:7 Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations:
That’s the bruisers, [and God’s telling him what will happen to him as the end his reign in the roll of antichrist is just about over. This will happen in the 2nd age of the flesh]
and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness.
Do you know what those swords are? It’s the sword of the Lord in Revelation chapter 1, verse 16:
Rev 1:16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance [was] as the sun shineth in his strength.
That sword of the Lord is the tongue of Jesus Christ (His word of truth) and it is a two-edged sword for the truth cuts both ways. And when those (the elect) are delivered up before the spurious messiah (the antichrist), the Holy Spirit will speak through them and it will be a very cutting thing. As it is written in Luke 21, even the gainsayers, the followers of this evil one, will be convinced by what you say.
[God speaking to His elect]:
Luke 21:15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
Back to Ezekiel 28, verse 8:
Eze 28: 8 They shall bring thee down to the pit,
That same old pit called the abyss in Revelation as well as Isaiah 14.
and thou shalt die the deaths of [them that are] slain in the midst of the seas.
In other words you’re going to be gone forever in… what is that sea? It’s called the lake of fire. You can read of it in Revelation chapter 20:9-10
Revelation: 20:9-10 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. 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 for ever and ever.
Ezekiel 28, verse 9:
Ezekiel 28:9 Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I [am] God? but thou [shalt be] a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee.
Do you know who slays him? Do you know why Christ came to this earth, born in the flesh, [into this 2nd, flesh age]? Have you ever read the 2nd chapter of Hebrews? In Hebrews chapter 2, verse 14 it stipulates very clearly that Christ won’t ask you to do something, God wouldn’t ask you to do something He wouldn’t do Himself and so He came born of a virgin.
Hebrews 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
He just stipulated that He came and died on the cross to destroy death, which is to say satan. Satan was the one that cried for the death of Emanuel, meaning God with us. So now God doesn’t have to feel backward about destroying him in the lack of fire. I mean after all, satan is his child. God created him also. Verse 10 in Ezekiel, chapter 28:
Eze 28:10 Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken [it], saith the Lord GOD.
He’s going to die an ungodly death, that’s what it means. Verse 11. We’re going to switch now back to the first earth age, before his fall to learn his duties. This is satan, the fake rock; as it would say in the great Song of Moses that all are supposed to know and understand in Deuteronomy, chapter 32, he is not our rock, his spot is not our spot. Verse 11, listen carefully:
Eze 28:11 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 28:12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus,
Not prince here. Indicating this is before his fall.
and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
The Hebrew says, “I made you the full pattern”.
Sum – tokniyth - h8508 = 1) measurement, pattern, proportion
from Gesenius’s Lexicon
God had to have been real fond of him at one time to have put him in this position. He earned it and then blew it. Let that be a lesson to you in serving God. Don’t blow it! Verse 13:
Eze 28:13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God;
God wants you to know, this one was the serpent. The Hebrew is very specific, the shining one. The glistening one. That’s what Lucifer and the serpent means.
Lucifer - heylel – H1966 – הֵילֵל - "light-bearer"
1) shining one, morning star, Lucifer
a) of the king of Babylon and Satan (fig.)
2) (TWOT) 'Helel' describing the king of Babylon
FROM H1984 – halal
1) to shine
a) (Qal) to shine (fig. of God's favour) b) (Hiphil) to flash forth light
2) to praise, boast, be boastful
a) (Qal)
1) to be boastful
2) boastful ones, boasters (participle)
b) (Piel)
1) to praise
2) to boast, make a boast
c) (Pual)
1) to be praised, be made praiseworthy, be commended, be worthy of praise
d) (Hithpael) to boast, glory, make one's boast
e) (Poel) to make a fool of, make into a fool
f) (Hithpoel) to act madly, act like a madman
Serpent - H5175 - שׁ - nâchâsh - naw-khawsh'
From H5172; a snake (from its hiss): - serpent.
H5172נ -חשׁ - nâchash - naw-khash'
A primitive root; properly to hiss, that is, whisper a (magic) spell; generally to prognosticate: - X certainly, divine, enchanter, (use) X enchantment, learn by experience, X indeed, diligently observe.
So you know we’re in the garden of God, IN Eden. But don’t worry, he wasn’t an actual serpent, he was still the same old thing it’s just that he’s called the serpent as it is written in Revelaiton, chapter 20, verse 2.
Rev 20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
That old serpent which is the dragon which is satan which is Lucifer which is Tyrus and his names go on and on… little horn, the king of Assyria, the king of Babylon, you name it, he’s there, he’s an actor.
Eze 28:13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone [was] thy covering,
Boy you were something!
the sardius,
which would be a ruby
topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold:
In other words they were all set in gold.
the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
He wasn’t born, he was created. Created by who? Well, God creates all things. No one else has that power and ability. God created him for a purpose. What was that purpose? Listen carefully, and I must insist that you think again from verse 12 forward, we’ve been back in the first earth age, where God is telling you of the creation of satan himself and what his duties were and what he looked like. Satan is a looker friend (beautiful). And he can tempt. But you’re not going to find him tempting because to you he is an abomination. But make note; he was in the garden of Eden, and God created him. What were his duties prior to his fall? Verse 14:
Eze 28:14 Thou [art] the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee [so]:
God says, “I was the one that put you there”.
thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
He was right at the alter of God! Do you know what this word covereth means? He was one of the cherubs, and you’ve seen the depiction that Moses built and was the Ark of the Covenant, the Mercy Seat, the Seat of Christ, the Seat of Almighty God, and there are 2 Cherubim on each end the end of that Ark.
Satan was one of those cherubim that was supposed to protect the seat of God. But rather, satan decided within himself that he would take the seat for himself. That’s a hard learned lesson for many but you had better wake up to it. Satan’s coming back to this earth and will claim that he is the one that rightfully sits in that place, the Mercy Seat. But I guarantee you he has no mercy. So he was the anointed. Do you know what anointed means? He was anointed with the oil of our people for that position. Verse 15. What happened? Well listen:
Eze 28:15 Thou [wast] perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created,
I mean, he was. He was good…
till
or UNTIL
iniquity was found in thee.
In other words he stopped loving God and began loving himself. That is to say he began to take pride in himself. Pride is a killer if it’s self-pride. Verse16. You should always be proud of what you do, but self-pride a different thing. It’s poison. 16:
Eze 28:16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence,
This is in a moral sense. [He had the riches that God bestowed on him of that position with beauty and wisdom, and he misused it turning towards self, filling himself, and what resulted was envy, lust, evil, and violence; thus he turned to the opposite those things of God, destroying that which is good and turning to that which is evil. That is one reason why he is called the destroyer.]
and thou hast sinned: therefore I
Who is this? It’s God that’s speaking.
I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
In other words he was removed from that office. And that’s why he’s called a prince in the first part of this chapter so that you in wisdom could understand. Demoted. Hey, don’t try to outsmart him. Never argue with satan. Just say "away from me in the name of Yeshuah", in the name of Jesus. Now for the documentation that he is the only son of perdition. There would be more but there would have to another white throne judgment first before there would be one. [That doesn’t happen until the 3rd earth age.] And if you think the son of perdition is little old Judas, you’ve been so far led astray biblically that you have to start over basically. I could sell you the Brooklyn Bridge if you thought Judas was the son of perdition. This is the son of perdition. Why? Listen carefully, 17:
Eze 28:17 Thine heart was lifted up
Pride.
because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness:
The splendor, nâchâsh. That serpent.
I will cast thee to the ground,
That is to say the earth. That’s right here friend. That’s where you live. That’s home.
I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.
[In this 2nd, flesh age] They’re going to take a great look and he’s going to perform miracles in the sight of men and the weak and the unlearned will be deceived by his playing God, and they’re going to think that he is. Because he is good at it and he is beautiful. He looks very much like what people say Christ looks like and do you know what his message is? Number 1, “I’ve come to fly you away, [all ye gather unto me.]” That’s why God taught very specifically back in chapter 13 of Ezekiel, “I’m against those that teach to fly to save their souls.”
Eze 13:18-20 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the [women] that sew pillows to all armholes, and make kerchiefs upon the head of every stature to hunt souls! Will ye hunt the souls of my people, and will ye save the souls alive [that come] unto you? And will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hear [your] lies? Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make [them] fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, [even] the souls that ye hunt to make [them] fly.
Verse 18, listen carefully and learn:
Eze 28:18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities,
He ruined the houses of God that he was in charge of, controlled over.
by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore
Listen carefully, sharpen up
therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee,
From where?
from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee,
That’s Almighty God speaking. Do you know what devour means? It means to perish.
and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
Right into the lake of fire. That is your absolute documentation in that he is the son of perdition, because he is the only one that God has judged already to destruction [sentenced in that 1st earth age]. Some would say, “Well there are some He says He will send to destruction”… IF they don’t change their ways, but they’ve got to be judged first. This man is already judged. Satan is already judged. Do you know what the word perdition means? I think that’s where maybe a lot of people fall short is by not understanding the Greek. It means to perish:
Apōleia - ἀπώλεια – G684
1) destroying, utter destruction
a) of vessels
2) a perishing, ruin, destruction
From Thayer’s Lexicon
Do you realize how close Apōleia is to even one of satan’s names which is Apollyon and it comes from the same prime, G622 in your Greek dictionary of your Strong’s Concordance:
Strong's G622 – apollymi - ἀπόλλυμι
1) to destroy a) to put out of the way entirely, abolish, put an end to ruin b) render useless c) to kill d) to declare that one must be put to death e) metaph. to devote or give over to eternal misery in hell f) to perish, to be lost, ruined, destroyed
2) to destroy a) to lose
Rev 9:11 And they had a king over them, [which is] the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue [is] Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath [his] name Apollyon.
See, don’t let anyone ever tell you that Judas is he son of perdition for he hasn’t been judged yet. This satan, this Tyrus, this serpent, this Lucifer, has already been judged. I can hear some say, “Well, what about burning forever and ever and ever?” Don’t you know what being turned to ashes means? How long is being turned to ashes? If I were to take this piece of paper and you know, it’s piece of paper and it has writing upon it. If I were to burn this and it turned to ashes, how long would it be ashes, wherever they settled? Forever and ever and ever! And that’s exactly what it means. Forever and ever and ever. God declaring I will turn you to ashes from within. What is almighty God? He is a consuming fire. He’s talking about the 2nd death, not the 1st, the 2nd death. Well is there such a thing as a 2nd death of a Cherubim? No. But there is for man. Man’s going to have a flesh death such as Christ and then His flesh was transformed or transfigured soon after the 3 days in the tomb, but Cherubim of course do not suffer the first death but, he (Lucifer) is most certainly singled out. And then following him is the 2nd death. It is written in Revelation, chapter 20, the very closing verses of that chapter that satan is the son of perdition. That’s why Paul so fittingly, now listen to me and be wise, think for yourself, don’t listen to some revolving rev, 2 Thessalonians, chapter 2, verse 4, he will sit in the Holy place claiming to be God, this one, the son of perdition will. Paul said, don’t let my first letter to the Thessalonians where the so-called rapture doctrine comes from, deceive you. It aint going to happen until the son of perdition, satan, stands in Jerusalem claiming to be God.
2 Thes 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
So death did not enter this earth with Able and death did not enter this earth with Adam and Eve's sin. Death entered this earth with satan in the world that was, that 1st age. Now true enough, death entered this earth age but you've got to realize the difference when you say this earth and the perimeters thereof and focus only on this particular age. That's what's wrong with most Christians and that's why we have evolution taught in our schools, because Christians aren't wise enough to really understand the creation. And scientifically you can document the fact that this earth is millions of years old. We do it in our documentaries with the dinosaur tracts and so forth. But God's Word declares the earth as being eons old as well. It's just that to Christians, it just seems to be a little bit slow. Why? They allow the ministry to place those perimeters at the beginning of this earth age and the end of this earth age as 6000 years and that's all that they can see. They can't see past that. They can't see before it or after it even in the prophecy because they have not been taught.
Now God goes into great detail as to how He destroyed the earth and that 1st age. It is in Jeremiah chapter 4, so let's go right there. Jeremiah chapter 4… We're going to move around quite a bit in this lecture, but be that as it may. If you listen, allow your mind to be washed clean, rather than brain washed. Alright? Let it be washed clean with the truth from God's Word from those things that have been instilled within you that are false. What's happening here in Jeremiah chapter 4? Well here in Jeremiah chapter 4, God is giving Israel a great warning. He's telling them in one case how they should break up your fallow, or un-plowed ground, and plant seeds. And those seeds happen to be flesh man for one. The Passover tapes this year will lead into that. Those of you that have studied them will know and understand what I mean. But He said if you mess around, if you don't think I will destroy this earth age, then just look what I did to the last one. That's what He's talking about. So here you have a firsthand account, not from man but from God Himself, as to how He brought about the destruction of the earth age that was. You read here how the earth came to be void and without form and that it wasn't always that way. Let me give you a little data here from the facts gathered in our documentary that we made in the pan handle of Oklahoma and the edge of Colorado. The fact that there were rich lagoons at one time, almost swamplands, with the dinosaurs tracts from millions of years before which let us know that this earth was not void and without form way before that time of 6000 years ago, proving that something happened after they were here and that it became that way. Those dinosaurs and that rich lagoon that brings forth the oil and fuel that you burn in your automobile, did not happen 6000 years ago, nor did it happen underneath water. That is to say that an earth covered with water and void of anything. The dinosaurs were there. They are something and something substantial. So you see, there's a great big hole in what man has taught you, in that this earth is only 6000 years old. Be realistic. Christianity is a reality, so face it. It's not a religion it's a reality. And understanding our Father's Word is also a reality. Listen to Him and you will learn. So He's going to tell Jeremiah, “Listen, if you don't think I destroyed it once before, before this earth age in the flesh, then you listen to me.” Let's pick it up if we may, in verse 19:
Jeremiah 4:19 My bowels, my bowels!
Or better said, “My within, within! My heart, my heart!”
I am pained at my very heart; my heart maketh a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.
Understand this in a prophetic sense when you look all the way to the end. You understand when this next destruction comes, in part. Verse 20:
Jer 4:20 Destruction
Yes, at the seventh trump
upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is spoiled: suddenly are my tents spoiled, [and] my curtains in a moment.
In other words, it's going to happen again in an instant like that, at moment. When? When Christ's feet touch the Mount of Olives. And now He's going to tell you how it happened in the past. Listen carefully.
Jer 4:21 How long shall I see the standard, [and] hear the sound of the trumpet?
The standard of course is Yeshuah Messiah, Jesus The Christ. He is the living Word and the Word is your standard. Verse 22:
Jer 4:22 For my people [is] foolish,
What an understatement, quite frankly, when you think in the terms that He's trying to communicate to you. My people are foolish. They stand up in a court of law, when evolution, the monkey law, comes forth and they don't have any more sense than to say this earth is 6000 years old.
they have not known me;
Why have they not known God? Because this is His Word! And they don't know that Word.
they [are] sottish children,
Do you know what the word sottish means? The translators of the King James were very kind. It means stupid in the Hebrew. They are stupid children. That explains it more to our liking and the truth.
and they have none understanding: they [are] wise to do evil,
It seems that they can pollute everything that is in the natural. They can destroy this earth with their poisons and their habits.
but to do good they have no knowledge.
No, none at all! And when the children are so sottish that they can't understand the three earth ages which are so simply put forth from God's Word, it is real sad dear friend. I could weep for our people because of the standard and level of teaching that is put forth to them in this generation. High technology explodes in this generation. We've placed men on the moon, but what about theology? Where is it? Has it exploded? Verse 23:
Jer 4:23 I beheld the earth, and, lo, [it was] without form, and void;
There it is. Do you understand? I told you to remember that word. tôhû va bôhû
H8414
תּהוּ - tôhû - to'-hoo
From an unused root meaning to lie waste; a desolation (of surface), that is, desert; figuratively a worthless thing; adverbially in vain: - confusion, empty place, without form, nothing, (thing of) nought, vain, vanity, waste, wilderness.
H922
bôhû - bo'-hoo
From an unused root (meaning to be empty); a vacuity, that is, (superficially) an undistinguishable ruin: - emptiness, void.
And here we have that word was again:
H1961
היה - hâyâh - haw-yaw'
A primitive root (compare H1933); to exist, that is, be or become, come to pass (always emphatic, and not a mere copula or auxiliary): - beacon, X altogether, be (-come, accomplished, committed, like), break, cause, come (to pass), continue, do, faint, fall, + follow, happen, X have, last, pertain, quit (one-) self, require, X use.
I beheld the earth after that and it became. It was void and without form.
and the heavens, and they [had] no light.
I looked, after I got through shaking them and both the heavens and the earth was void and without light. Verse 24. Listen to the destruction after the fall of Satan. From your Father's own lips:
Jer 4:24 I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.
Our Father hung this earth into the socket in which it fits. It is believed by many that are familiar with the plates of this great earth’s crust and surface, that all continents were one at one time. And a great shaking made them brake up. And if you look at the east coast of the Americas along with the coast of west Africa and Europe, you can see how very possible those plates and crust meshed at one time. Be that as it may, that's beside the point. God is saying, "I shook it."
[Note: if this was speaking of Noah’s flood, there was already light upon the earth and the heavens did have light. So the reference to NO LIGHT, and the term VOID AND WITHOUT FORM, let’s you know the exact time God is referencing, the destruction of the 1st age.]
Verse 25:
Jer 4:25 I beheld,
I looked, I observed, I saw with my own eyes. Your Father is saying this.
and, lo, [there was] no man,
Many of you would like to say, “Well this is Noah's flood." It said No Man! Do you know what NO means? Zilch, zero. God destroyed every living being and they were transformed into a new body instantly. But He destroyed that earth age. Every last man. There were not 8 souls floating aboard some ark or any other people alive to cater to or to cotton too. Zilch, No man.
and all the birds of the heavens were fled.
They are destroyed. You have no living birds. What was it that Noah released from the ark? First it was a raven, huh? Quite a few birds. He had two of those species aboard. Then a dove, symbolic of peace. This does not have to do with Noah's flood. Listen as we document. Verse26:
4:26 I beheld,
This is God again saying I looked; I saw.
and, lo, the fruitful place [was] a wilderness,
There was not a tree standing [and right before this it was a fruitful place, the way God had created it to be inhabited. Now] it was waste. Let's stop a minute. What was it that the dove went out to retrieve and right at the short end of a year? Did the dove not return with an olive branch? Do you know how long it takes an olive tree to grow? Do you know how long it takes a branch from waste or nothing, or from that which is void? Quite frankly, if you want to know the truth about it, there was not even a living seed from this destruction. God created the seed of the olive tree of Noah’s time long after this event took place. So this could not have been Noah's flood. Do you understand?
and all the cities thereof
Whoa! What do you know about that friend? This earth was inhabited with cities at one time before. And we’re not talking about the ruins that they find in the Middle East at this time when they go on digs or the mounds of this country. I'm talking about a city that no doubt could have been in a different dimension even. As far as substance is concerned, …bear with me.
thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD,
What broke them down? Almighty God Himself caused them to cease existence. God brought forth a saying that is said in Isaiah, "Woe to those that join house onto house." He doesn't like cities. That's why Cain was cursed and became a city dweller and builder of them. Anytime you start building and joining house onto house, you have murder, rape, crime and so forth it. It extends those things when you crowd people together.
At the presence of the LORD [and] by his fierce anger.
You can understand why God, when He had caused it to simply rain for 40 days, that He did not destroy the cities, and He did not destroy every man, for Noah's entire family was aboard the ark. I believe there were people left in the earth. All God wanted to destroy were the geber, the giants, those that were the offspring of woman and the fallen angels, whereby Satan was trying to spoil the woman's seed whereby the seed of Messiah could not come through woman, or else it was part of the serpents seed. You see, satan was still trying to take the mercy seat, if not in the world, that was by hook-n-crook and deception in this world. Do you understand? That's why it was so important to satan that Cain be born of him. For it was through woman that Messiah would come through this earth age. [That woman being Eve with Adam’s seed and their off-spring is what Satan wanted to pollute that blood-line of Eve through which Messiah would come. Satan attempted to pollute the daughters of Eve with the seed of the fallen angels in Genesis chapter 6 as well]. He doesn't give up. Let that not be a point of digression whereby you miss the point, but rather a compound that will solidify the entire truth over all, together. For the very controversy is between Christ and Satan. That's why this destruction took place in the beginning. As I have shared with you before. God could have destroyed that third of His children that followed Satan but what does it really take to cause you to kill one of your own that you love? God chose rather to destroy that age and then caused each to be born innocent of woman in the flesh. Innocent with all memory of what was, erased. I know this must sound strange to some, and no, I'm not talking about reincarnation. Don't be stupid. I'll use the word sottish. Don't be that way. Think. Verse 27:
Jer 4:27 For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end.
I'm going to read one more verse...
Jer 4:28 For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black: because I have spoken [it], I have purposed [it], and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it.
It's going to happen yet “I'll leave that remnant”, He stated.
The word “was” is what the controversy and confusion hinges on but it doesn't hinge on it for the Hebrew scholar. The Hebrew manuscripts are very clear. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth and the earth then became void and without form because God shook it. And He gave it a good shaking. He destroyed that, that was. If you want to know the real truth about it, a freeze came over the land, the whole world, all at one time. I feel that quite possibly God moved the true orbit or the axis of this earth just about 90 miles [shaking it from the heavenly dimension into the dimension appropriate for flesh]. I think that's why the north pole and the magnetic poles are 90 miles apart, causing the jet stream which basically forms the weather around this globe. At one time it was a perfect climate, both at the North and at the South Pole, because our position was different before that shaking. But the earth became void and without form and uninhabitable until God cleansed it and corrected it.
It happened instantly. We have found many proofs of this in remains; there was an instant freeze and the reasons that cause an instant freeze to come to pass and so-forth. We know that it happened. But here, He’s dividing the water back again and He’s not talking about the receding waters of Noah’s flood. Verse 7:
Gen 1:7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
In other words, He caused the water to recede… He put part of the water back into firmament which means into the heavens or atmosphere. And so it was. If you use your mind for just a moment you might know where much of that water came from that brought that flood to pass. If there was water overhead that filtered… Verse eight:
Gen 1:8 And God called the firmament Heaven.
That is to say that which was above, that expanse. [The heavenly dimension separated from the new earthly dimension]…
And the evening and the morning were the second day.
So in a sense He created the 'erets H776, “earth”, and heaven on that second day for this earth age.
H776
ארץ - 'erets - eh'-rets
From an unused root probably meaning to be firm; the earth (at large, or partitively a land): - X common, country, earth, field, ground, land, X nations, way, + wilderness, world.
Verse 9… Let me rephrase that because that could mislead someone. He brought both the earth and the heaven into the day of this earth age, alright. The earth and heaven were both already here; heaven being naturally according to wherever God is. He didn’t build another earth or create another earth, He simply caused the waters to recede and move upward into the atmosphere whereby land again could become a habitation. Verse 9:
Gen 1:9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
Now with Noah’s flood it took several days and months for the water to recede. Here it was just, “bang”. God spoke, and so it happened. Verse 10:
Gen 1:10 And God called the dry land Earth;
Terra firma, 'erets in the Hebrew tongue.
and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
Not chaotic. Not disturbed anymore as it was into a nothingness (tôhû - bôhû), as we discussed in verse two. But that is was coming back to that beauty that we have. I wonder when the plates moved and so-forth. You know, we found those animals of African likeness in Nebraska at Ashfall - click here
I mean it’s absolute. There’s no getting around it; rhinoceroses and camels and birds of Africa that died about ten million years ago in Nebraska. So interesting, interesting as we look at how God moved this and how He moved that.
Do you remember when we opened our lecture back in Psalms 104? God spoke and the waters hasted instantly away. That didn't happen in Noah's flood. And God promised that He would never destroy this earth again by water; this is the water He's talking about as well as the flood of Noah. But reserved for this age it will be destroyed by fire, and He is that consuming fire.
So again the point rests in your mind in the English, "Was the earth created void and without form or was it created with the mountains standing out of the water to be inhabited?" Do you realize it's written? God makes it very clear. I want to go back to the Book of Isaiah chapter 45 for me. For one verse… Isaiah chapter 45, verse 18. Let God's Word speak for itself. Do not forget the Hebrew word I told you to remember, tôhû and the severity of it. Void. Verse 18 Isaiah 45:
Isaiah 45:18 For thus saith the LORD
Who is speaking? Almighty God Yehovah.
that created the heavens; God himself
Himself!
that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created
He did what? He established it, created it
Created it not in vain,
What did that word ' vain ' mean? Tôhû. He created it NOT destroyed. He created it NOT covered over with black water. Have you got that? Can you understand English?
He formed it to be inhabited:
NOT to be wasted. NOT to be destroyed. Almighty God, your Father, your loving Father, give Him credit. He wouldn't build a wasteland. He created it a beautiful jewel. Mother earth, to be inhabited. He did not create it tôhû, it became that way. Have you got it?
I [am] the LORD;
He formed it to be inhabited
and [there is] none else.
He's the God of Love. What do you think He is, that He would shake these people and destroy them for no cause? See, they had it coming. It is difficult for man to think in God's way. It isn't only difficult it's impossible. But can you let wisdom rise? The most beautiful Proverb in the 8th chapter where Wisdom says, “I was with God from the very beginning, before He ever created the earth, I was with Him.” Wisdom; can you possess it? Don't be sottish. Listen to His Word. There was a case at one time when Job was persecuted and he was a type of God's elect. I want to go to Job. The Book of Job. I'm going go to Job 38 and while you're turning there I want to slip back to the first of Job and I'm going to read something to you. You find 38 Job, chapter 1 verse 6:
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.
You'll find the same thing written in chapter 2, verse 1. Now leading up to chapter 38 in the Book of Job you’ve got 37 chapters of Satan accusing Job before God, with satan saying he can deceive him and turn him against God if God removes all the defenses of Job. God was so proud of Job, even as He is proud of you today; those that have eyes to see and can understand the simplicity in which His Word is written. God said, “No you can't Satan. You can't win over Job. I'll take down the fences” and then Satan casted boils and poor Job was a walking dead man, basically, but he never gave up. But Job’s 3 so-called buddy-buddies, they tried to make Job perfect, as man will always try to make you, they'll try to make you a real puritan, they'll try to make you stand up and be a glistening star that never sins and that's impossible in the flesh. God knows that. But yackity-yackity-yackity… and I've heard ministers teach sermons on these first 37 chapters and they’ve said “this is the Word from God.” And it is not! Do you know what God thinks about these 37 chapters? Listen to it and learn from your Father's Word. 38.
Job 38:1 Then the LORD answered Job
Finally He speaks after 37 chapters
out of the whirlwind, and said,
What is this whirlwind? That highly polished bronzed whirling disc that His throne is aboard in Ezekiel. Verse 2:
Job 38:2 Who [is] this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?
In other words, 37 chapters God says, “Why are you listening to those idiots? They don't know what they're talking about Job.” Unfortunately that's the entire lesson of Job. That's why I really won't do all of it on television. I've got it all on cassette tape and every Christians should experience it once to receive 37 chapters of junk of men's words, yackity-yackity-yackity. The same thing you get from most pulpits in this nation today. It's an experience you should enjoy… well, go through. God says, “Why do you listen to those idiots!?' You've always got His Word, you know you could listen to your Father. Verse 3:
Job 38:3 Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.
You gird yourself up and get ready for action and service. You stand up like a man, Job!
Job 38:4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?
If you know so much Job, If you are so wise in your flesh body with it's pea-brain, then where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?
declare, if thou hast understanding.
Stop and think about that one? Where were you? Do you know? “Well, I wasn't born yet.” Ohh? Where were you?
Job 38:5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest?
That's a question. Answer Him?
or who hath stretched the line upon it?
Who put each star in place and set the natural law and the order of things. Answer Him! Naturally man has got to say, “We don't really know how many are out there God.” And you don't. Verse 6:
Job 38:6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened?
Where are the sockets that hold this earth exactly where it is at and keeps it in that position?
or who laid the corner stone thereof;
Those are all questions. Verse 7:
Job 38:7 When the morning stars
Listen to me and bear in mind Revelation chapter12, where Satan drew a third of the stars, that's God's children. It's referring to man.
sang together,
All the morning stars, the sons of the morning, the sons of God, sang together. There wasn't one bad note in the whole lot. What I'm talking about is harmony and peace of mind
and all
How many? Don't you dare miss that point.
All the sons of God shouted for joy?
Have you heard all the sons of God, everyone shout for joy recently? No, you've always got some group over here that's got some very sad detail that's very grievous to them. But there was a time when all the sons of God shouted for joy and sang together. Do you realize that Satan was a son of God? God created him and Ezekiel 28 declares it. He was God's son! He was also one of those that sang with joy. Do you understand what I'm saying? Back in that perfect beginning before sin entered into that world that was. I'm not talking about this world age, back when all the sons of God, call them angels if you'd like, they were simply souls that inhabit this earth age and would eventually pass through into this age, one at a time one time only. Where did your soul come from? It came from God, of course, and you were with Him. All the sons of God, created at the same time, sang for joy because there was happiness there. Job where were you when that happened? What is Job going to answer? He doesn't know. He doesn't know at all.
the sons of God shouted for joy?
Job 38:8 Or [who] shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, [as if] it had issued out of the womb? 38:9 When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it, 38:10 And brake up for it my decreed [place],
I chose my own place, Mt. Zion.
and set bars and doors, 38:11 And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?
He set the sea coasts.
Job 38:12 Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days;
Have you told it, “Sun come up?” Job, did you do that? Can You? Do you see how small man is and how unlearned compared to your Father? All wisdom comes from our Father and if you don't listen to Him friend, you're sottish.
[and] caused the dayspring to know his place;
Who put the time clock in its proper sequence?
38:13 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth,
That it could lighten and darken, at whichever time.
that the wicked might be shaken out of it?
Who has the power? Job can you take the wicked one, is really what it says. Can you take hold of this earth and shake the wicked out of it? God said, “I can, I've done it before." Verse14:
Job 38:14 It is turned as clay [to] the seal; and they stand as a garment.
A garment for what? A garment for souls. “Job can you take the clay that was level and cause the images come up from it? Can you make a living being from the clay Job?” This is the Potter talking to the clay friend, you got it? “And further more, Job, not only man, do you see those images on the horizon, those trees? Can you make them come up Job? Can you create seed?” Need I go on? Our Father, our Father is all powerful. Poor old Job in chapter 40, I hope each of you understand Job's place, Job answered in chapter 40, and the Lord went on and on and showed what little man knows. If you don't listen to your Father,
Job 40:4 Behold I am vile
Job speaking.
What shall I answer Thee?
How shall I answer that?
I will lay mine hand upon my mouth.
Close my mouth and put my hand over it so I don't speak foolishly.
Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea twice; but I will proceed no further.
Then God answered Job and said: “You girt yourself up and stand up like a man and stop whimpering before Me.” You see, you listen to man and you hear a lot of yackity-yackity-yackity. You study in Your Father's Word and you go into the depth of the knowledge of the world that was, this earth age and yes, the one that's coming.
In the third chapter of Peter the word jumps to life from the very pages and becomes the Living Word in your heart, mind and soul. Then you begin to have the realization of those three earth ages and understand why God had to put us in this earth age. And some He chose, yes, even before the foundation of this earth age. Why? Because they stood against Satan in that first battle as it's written in Romans chapter 8 and they persevered. As a result, they were judged right there. Therefore God, through the Comforter, can intercede in their lives because they don't even know what to pray for sometimes. But God utilizes His elect now, and to fulfill His prophesy. Prophesy comes to pass exactly as it is written and do you know why? Because God is in control and He controls His elect in specific points and places whereby that prophesy comes to pass exactly as it is written. Do you think that you are listening to this lecture on the three world ages by shear accident dear one? You that hear and understand? There would be some that would say, “Well he's talking about reincarnation.” No. You only go through this earth age one time. Anybody that tells you they are reincarnated are possessed of an evil spirit that possessed someone before and simply who prattles on through the mouth of the idiot. And I can hear them say, “Oh dear! Are you're calling all those that claim to be reincarnated idiots?” Yes, that's right, they are. Don't you agree? Anytime you'll let some demonic spirit stay within you and let that evil spirit spout words that are unfriendly to you through your own mouth, sort of speaks for itself. I don't think I have to make the decision. I think you can figure that out for yourself.
Well, there are three earth ages. We must go through each of them one time and one time only. Now wait, that's an incorrect statement and I will correct myself. We must go through the first two, one time, and one time only but only the overcomers will go through the third age. Because in as much as God saw fit that He must kill Satan and He pronounced a death sentence upon him, He also saw fit to give each one of those that satan had misled the opportunity to come through this earth age to be born of woman. But a few refused this and then took certain women for a play, they found them real pretty… Remember what happened to them? That’s what brought about Noah’s flood. But the rest were born of woman into this flesh age, God giving them the opportunity to make his or her mind up as to whether they would love God or Satan. And within that, the Messiah came to this earth in the flesh, Emmanuel God with us, Himself.
Matthew 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
He wasn’t going to ask you to do something that He wasn’t prepared to do Himself despite all the pain of it. As a matter of fact He took it one step further; He allowed Himself to be nailed to that cross through the very palms of His hands yet He did not complain, as a sheep led to the slaughter. He could have backed out. He could have changed His mind. Many of you will think, “I'd like to believe that, but I'm going to wait. I'll change my mind.” What would have happened if He had changed His mind on you?
God leads some and He chooses some. But I believe that and don't ask me to document it. This is a comment from me, from all my years of research. I believe one of the reason that God came in that body of Messiah, and then died upon the cross, as clearly stated in Hebrews chapter 2, verse 14, “I came to this earth to be crucified whereby I can destroy Satan, the devil, which is death.” In other words, I ask, “What does it take to kill one of your own children?” God saw fit to come here in the form of Messiah, to die at the hands of the Kenite, which is to say the offspring of satan, with satan egging them on, and they killed Him. Therefore this parable: the Father sent the Son to those that the field had been lent out to, the vineyard, rather, and they killed Him. Killed Him trying to inherit. Satan wants to inherit. And now in as much as satan killed the body of God, in Christ, God in flesh, God won't have to worry too much, or I imagine His conscience and His loving Self, won't have to feel so bad when He dunks Satan's curly locks under the burning brine in the lake of fire and those that choose to follow him. Bless your hearts I hope you have understood this. I hope that you enjoyed it. Our Father's knowledge is written in His Word. It's up to you to ascertain that, that you will, that brings you peace of mind and understanding of the events that happened in the former age and in this earth age. And to realize how important it is then, that you serve Him. There's really nothing else that's quite as important. And the faithful love of our close-knit family, with He being our Father who looks out for us and brings those blessings. Yes. If someone asks you again, as a Christian, how old this earth is, don't say 6000 years. Say,"eons". It's been documented.
