Based
on these scriptures,
"What
is the probability that you are deceived?"
I would
say the chance that you are not deceived in this final generation is
pretty
slim.
Will
you stake your eternal salvation on what someone has told you?
Whether
he be a Minister, a Deacon or a Sunday School Teacher.
No
matter how well meaning they are and believe it themselves.
You
think not!
Then
"take heed" as Jesus warned!
Be
careful, consider this,
many
times, even when people are taught to understand what deception is,
they
don't think it applies to them
and
they still believe that what they believe is true,
without
question!
For
instance, people know they are going to die.
They
intellectually know that is true,
but
they don't think or sense that it applies to them,
at
least not for today.
The
same holds true when tomorrow becomes today!
Another
thing to consider about deception is
that
if a person has believed a falsehood for a long time,
in
many cases, most of their life,
when
they hear something that contradicts that belief,
though
it may be the "gospel truth",
they
dismiss it as being odd or cultist or whacko,
even
when the evidence showing it to be deception is unquestionable.
Of
course there are many who will aid them in their rejection of truth as
being controversial.
It
takes a man or woman of courage to seek the truth
and
even greater courage to accept that truth,
especially
if it is not the majority or even a popular view.
Who
wants to be alone and take a stand
like
Noah or Elijah or David or Daniel or Jesus Christ?
Did
it ever occur to you that you have been deceived
about
which came first,
the
earth or you?
If
you have been taught,
as
I was,
that
in Gen. 1:1 God created the heaven
and
the earth first and later,
on
the sixth day,
He
created us,
my
Bible disagrees and we have been deceived.
Let's
look at that time before the beginning, before Gen. 1:1,
when
God brought into being all of His many children,
including
you and me, who are "sons of God",
even
as we are called in the Bible.
That's
right, you were, and you are, a son of the living God,
and
you and I are "older than the hills".
"I
don't believe it", you say.
Stick
around, I'll show it to you in His Word.
You
can reject it if you choose,
because
you never heard it before
and
because it sounds strange to you.
All
souls, God's children,
were
brought into being,
and
than our Father proceeded to build for us, His family,
the
most beautiful Home in all of the Universe.
He
called it Earth.
Then,
when our Father had finished building, i.e. creating the earth,
We,
His children were so thrilled and so excited that we shouted for joy!
Here's
your documentation:
Job
38:1 Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
[2]
Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?
God
had just scolded Job's friend saying,
"
My
wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends:
for
ye
have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath."
Unfortunately,
many preachers today don't speak of God or His Word the things that are
right, either!
It
is good that we now have the written Word of God
and
we are to determine what is truth through that Word.
If
what man (your preacher) tells you is written therein,
then
hold fast to that which is good.
If
what man (your preacher) tells you,
contradicts
what is written therein, then pitch it.
Make
sure you do your homework before you accept or reject it.
Your
own opinion doesn't count as far as God is concerned!
[3]
Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer
thou me.
Your
preacher won't be there when you answer this question.
What
will you say when God asks why you haven't read and studied His Word?
[4]
Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare,
if thou hast understanding.
[5]
Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest?
or
who hath stretched the line upon it?
[6]
Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened?
or
who laid the corner stone thereof;
[7]
When the morning stars sang together,
and
all
the sons of God shouted for joy?
Did
you catch that?
ALL
of the sons of God,
including you and me and Job, etc.,
shouted
for joy when God created this beautiful earth.
He
said so!
You
just read it!
And
we loved it,
else
we wouldn't have shouted for joy!
Now,
that means we came before the earth was created.
Yes,
it means we have been deceived.
The
earth as created in Gen. 1:1 must have been stunning,
for
it was quite different back then,
before
it was knocked off its axis.
Yes,
we lived on earth with the dinosaurs and mammoths.
Did
it ever occur to you that
you
have been deceived
when
taught that God first
created
the earth
and
then five days later, man?
There
was previously another earth age
more
beautiful than this one?
Genesis
2:7 "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground,
and
breathed into his nostrils the breath of life;
and
man
became a living soul.
Please
note that this word translated became in the above verse
was
correctly translated from the Hebrew word hayah in the original
text.
Below
is the defination of the word hayah
hayah,
haw-yaw', Hebrew 1961; a primitive root [compare Hebrew 1933 (hava')];
to exist, i.e. be or become,
come to pass (always
emphatic, and not a mere copula or auxiliary) :- beacon, × altogether,
be (-come, accomplished, committed, like), break, cause, come (to pass),
do, faint, fall, + follow, happen, × have, last, pertain,
quit (one-) self, require, × use.
Now,
why did I bring this to your attention when this pamphlet is about an earlier
earth age?
Read
on!
Genesis
1:2 And the earth was without form, and void;
and
darkness was upon the face of the deep.
And
the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Here
in Gen. 1:2 it seems to say
that
God created the heavens and the earth (vs. 1)
and
it WAS without form, and void when He made it,
meaning
it was a desolate wasteland without form.
But,
wait a minute, in the original Hebrew text,
the
word translated was in this verse is hayah
which means became or come to pass.
This
is EXACTLY the same word translated BECAME in Genesis 2:7 "And
the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his
nostrils the breath of life; and man
became a living soul.
In
the King James Bible this Hebrew word hayah
is
translated became 67 times,
becamest,
came, and came to pass 505 times,
and
become
66 times; But for some reason here in Genesis 1:2 it is translated was!.
Now
that we have this knowledge let's read the verse again.
Genesis
1:2 And the earth was [became] without form, and void;
and
darkness was upon the face of the deep.
And
the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
It
is truly amazing how just one word
either
mistranslated or translated poorly
can
have such a tremendous influence on the world of Christianity,
and
right from the beginning,
the
very second verse in the Bible.
We
will not allow poor scholarship to obscure the truth of His Word.
So
which is it?
Did
God create the earth in a state of utter waste and desolation?
No,
it BECAME that way!
(If
you have an NIV Bible it will note the word "was" in Gen 1:2 as "or became".)
So
the earth was very beautiful back then in Gen. 1:1,
when
the Behemoth of Job 40:15, the dinosaur, roamed the earth.
There
was a water canopy that enveloped the entire globe
which
made it a virtual greenhouse with lush vegetation from the Arctic to the
Antarctic.
That
is why the Mastodons and Mammoths
that
have been discovered in the tundra and in Northeast Siberia,
which
were instantly frozen
when
God changed the earth from beautiful and populated as described in Gen.
1:1
to
without form and void as described in Gen. 1:2
had
grass in their bellies and buttercups in their mouths.
You
can read about them on the Discovery Channel's website.
Here
is the link and an excerpt: http://www.discovery.com/exp/mammoth/discoveries.html
GREAT
MAMMOTH DISCOVERIES
In
Northeast Siberia, a villager showed a Cossack named Yaklovski a tusk he'd
hacked from "one of those great hairy devils up on the under-cliff of the
Beresovka River." The Cossack, in turn, told a local police official, who
notified the Imperial Academy of Sciences. In September 1901, zoologist
Otto F. Herz was sent to retrieve the mammoth carcass before it was devoured
by wild animals. Herz and his crew spent nearly a month meticulously removing
the giant's still largely intact body from the ice. Its
stomach was found to contain more than 33 pounds of grass. The
mammoth's remains were stuffed, with about one-third of the animal's body,
including its tail, made up of its actual, preserved skin. The rest of
the specimen in Leningrad's Zoological Museum is covered with restored
skin.
Editors
Note:
The
Bible tells us exactly what caused the extinction of dinosaurs and mammoths.
It
also tells us why,
even
though we were created prior to the creation of the earth
and
lived during that first earth age, with the dinosaurs,
no
human bones have ever been found along side the dinosaur bones.
The
question is "How" and "When" and "Why" did the earth become such a desolation?
We
will read the "specific" answers to all three later in our study.
Don't
miss them,
because
in the fascinating answers to these questions
lay
the very foundation for understanding
why
we are now in flesh bodies
that
will someday perish!
Wouldn't
you like to know?
You
can!
You
can (and should) assume that you have previously been mislead and are or
might be deceived.
Matthew
24:5
For many shall come in my name,saying,
I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
Unfortunately,
many preachers today don't speak of God or His Word the things that are
right!
Did
it ever occur to you that you were being deceived
when
you were taught only the bad things about Satan?
Were
you ever taught that Satan Was Once Our Chief Priest?
Were
you ever taught that even though he is evil,
he
is still, today, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty?
and
that if you don't know that, it will be easy for him to deceive you into
worshiping him
when
he stands where he ought not, claiming that he is Christ, during the end
time?
You
are aware that God created all of His sons,
including
you and me, even before the creation of the earth in Gen. 1:1?
One
of those sons, was named Lucifer, which means "morning star",
a
title of great honor.
We
also read from Job 38:7 that at the creation of this beautiful earth,
the
"morning stars" formed the chorus as they sang together
while
all the rest of the sons of God cheered for great joy.
Lucifer
was among those morning stars who sang. (Job 38:7
"When
the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?")
Let's
read about this "morning star", Lucifer, in the Book of Ezekiel.
Ezekiel
28:12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say
unto him,
Thus
saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect
in beauty.
Ezekiel
is referring to Lucifer as once being a very honorable and esteemed individual
by
our Father and all of His children too!
[13]
Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God;
This
verse documents that we are not talking about the literal human king of
Tyre.
This
is all about Satan.
This
next part of the verse is very insightful if you have eyes to see and are
familiar with God's Word.
[13
... continued] every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz,
and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the
emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and
of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
First
we see that Satan was created just like everyone else.
But,
we also see that a "workmanship" was also prepared for him.
What
in the world is that?
Here's
the definition of the Hebrew word "workmanship".
mela'kah,
mel-aw-kaw', Hebrew 4399; from the same as Hebrew 4397 (mal'ak);properly
deputyship, i.e. ministry;
generally
employment (never
servile) or work (abstract or concrete);
also property (as the result of labor) :- business, + cattle, + industrious,
occupation, (+ -pied), + officer, thing (made), use, (manner of) work ([-man],
-manship).
Lucifer
was given a very important duty or position in the first earth age.
He
was a priest!
No,
you say, you never heard such a thing!
Notice
in verse 13 that "every precious stone" adorned him.
This
means that Satan wore the "Breastplate of a Priest of God",
a
very high position indeed!
Yes,
and verse 14 will show he was "anointed" to this position by our Father.
You
see, these stones listed in verse 13
are
exactly the same as the stones that the Levitical priests wear in this
earth age.
Here
is a description of a priest's breastplate from Exodus 28, so we know for
sure.
(You
can compare stone for stone if you like.)
Exodus
28:17-21 And thou shalt set in it settings of stones, even four rows of
stones:
the
first row shall be a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this shall be the
first row.
[18]
And the second row shall be an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.
[19]
And the third row a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.
Note to the deeper scholar: This
entire third row is missing from Ezekiel 28:13 in Hebrew, but it is supplied
in the Septuagint.
[20]
And the fourth row a beryl, and an onyx, and a jasper: they shall be set
in gold in their inclosings.
[21]
And the stones shall be with the names of the children of Israel, twelve,
according to their names, like the engravings of a signet; every one with
his name shall they be according to the twelve tribes.
So
we now understand that this "morning star", Lucifer,
was
a high priest of God even over the children of God.
Think
about it!
Let's
read more about him in Ezekiel 28.
Ezekiel
28:14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth;
and
I have set thee so:
thou
wast upon the holy mountain of God;
thou
hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
God
anointed Lucifer as a "protector of the mercy seat",
which
is where Christ sits (there are only two cherubs that cover the Ark of
the Covenant),
and
set him high upon the holy mountain,
which
is the seat of authority of the kingdom of God,
i.e.
he also had a very high governmental position.
In
the first earth age Lucifer walked up and down in the midst of God's Children,
who
are those "stones of fire" we just read of in the last verse.
You
see, our Father is a consuming fire (spiritually).
That's
why these stones are called stones of fire for they are His children.
Your
documentation is found in Hebrews 12:29 "For our God is a consuming fire."
So
Satan really had it made at one time, didn't he?
He
had it ALL, as we say.
Now
read this next verse about him.
[15]
Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till
iniquity was found in thee.
Uh
oh! Something has gone haywire!
God
created this son, Lucifer, "perfect",
which
if you take the time to look up this word in your Strong's Concordance
you
will find it means "without blemish", "undefiled", i.e.
He
created him not only to be beautiful,
but
also morally upright,
and
so at one time he did have integrity.
However,
God ALSO gave all of His children, you and me and Lucifer, FREE WILL,
so
Lucifer, once a beautiful morning star,
lost
his brightness, his light,
and
now became Satan,
the
dark one, the evil one.
Here
are the Hebrew words for "perfect" and "iniquity", respectively.
tamiym,
taw-meem', Hebrew 8549; from Hebrew 8552 (tamam); entire (literal, figurative
or moral); also (as noun) integrity, truth :- without blemish, complete,
full, perfect, sincerely (-ity), sound, without spot, undefiled, upright
(-ly), whole.
`evel,
eh'-vel, Hebrew 5766; or avel, aw'-vel; and (feminine) avlah, av-law';
or owlah, o-law'; or olah, o-law'; from Hebrew 5765 (`aval); (moral) evil
:- iniquity, perverseness, unjust (-ly), unrighteousness (-ly), wicked
(-ness).
When
he was created, Satan was tamiym but he became 'evel.
Here's
what caused him to become that way:
Ezekiel
28:16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst
of thee with violence,
and
thou hast sinned:
The
NIV reads: "Your great wealth filled you with internal turmoil and you
sinned."
Hey,
he loved THINGS and MONEY!
The
most important thing we must know about Satan
is
that as Ezekiel tells us in Chapter 28 verse 12,
he
was full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
Even
though he is evil, he is still, today, full
of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
It
will be very easy for him to deceive Christians into believing he is Christ
when
he returns to earth in the end times at the sixth trump.
You
can (and should) assume that you have
previously
been mislead about Satan
and
are or might be deceived.
Matthew
24:5
For many shall come in my name,
saying,
I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
Unfortunately,
many preachers today don't speak of God or His Word the things that are
right!
This
Hebrew word for "sinned" is "chata'"
and
it is extremely important to understand its meaning,
for
contained in this word is what Satan DID that was so EVIL.
Are
you deceived about
what
Satan's gross sin was
during
the first earth age?
We
read that when Satan (Lucifer) was created,
he
was perfect but he became evil.
Here's
what caused him to become evil:
Ezekiel
28:12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say
unto him,
Thus
saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect
in beauty.
Ezekiel
is referring to Lucifer as once being a very honorable and esteemed individual
by
our Father and all of His children too!
[13]
Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God;
This
verse documents that we are not talking about the literal human king of
Tyre.
This
is all about Satan.
This
next part of the verse is very insightful if you have eyes to see and are
familiar with God's Word.
[13
... continued] every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz,
and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the
emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and
of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
First
we see that Satan was created just like everyone else.
But,
we also see that a "workmanship" was also prepared for him.
What
in the world is that?
Here's
the definition of the Hebrew word "workmanship".
mela'kah,
mel-aw-kaw', Hebrew 4399; from the same as Hebrew 4397 (mal'ak);properly
deputyship, i.e. ministry;
generally
employment (never

also property (as the result of labor) :- business, + cattle, + industrious,

This
means that Satan wore the "Breastplate of a Priest of God",
a
very high position indeed!
Yes,
and verse 14 will show he was "anointed" to this position by our Father.
But
then we find out that Satan has a problem.
Ezekiel
28:16 By the multitude of thy merchandise
they
have filled the midst of thee with violence,
The
NIV reads: "Your great wealth filled you with internal turmoil and you
sinned."
I
seems he loved THINGS and MONEY!
Isn't
that a surprise?
Have
you ever heard of a priest or a minister
or
a government official who has been corrupted by money?
Now
we know where their greed comes from!
Editors
Note: We did not say all priests, all ministers, or all government officials.
and
thou hast sinned:
This
Hebrew word for "sinned" is "chata'"
and
it is extremely important to understand its meaning,
for
contained in this word is what Satan did that was so evil.
chat*a',
khaw-taw', Hebrew 2398; a primitive root; properly to miss; hence (figurative
and general) to sin; by inference to forfeit, lack, expiate, repent, (causative)
lead astray, condemn :- bear the blame, cleanse, commit [sin], by fault,
harm he hath done, loss, miss, (make) offend (-er), offer for sin, purge,
purify (self), make reconciliation, (cause, make) sin (-ful, -ness), trespass.
The
proper meaning here is (CAUSATIVE) LEAD ASTRAY.
"Causative"
as defined by Webster is:
(1.)
effective or operating as a cause or agent
(2.)
expressing causation; specif.: being a linguistic form that indicates
that
the subject causes an act to performed or a condition to come into being.
You
see, Rev. 12:4 declares that Satan drew the third part of God's children
away from God,
and
caused them to fall to the earth,
which
is a figure of speech meaning he caused them to "fall" from "tamiym", perfection,
from
the good graces of our Father and from listening to and following Him!
Satan
"sinned". He led a third of God's children
astray!
Rev.
12:4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast
them to the earth:
That
is what Satan did that God could not allow.
It
was bad enough that he himself became corrupted,
but
God could have just removed him from the earth
and
life would have continued on as it was in the very beginning
when
God created the heaven and earth.
Remember,
in the beginning of the first earth age (Gen. 1:1).
All
of us, His sons, were happy and delighted and joyful.
What
was our loving Father to do?
A
third of us followed Satan's evil lead, should he destroy a third of his
children?
Let's
read the rest of Ezekiel 28:16
Ezekiel
28:16 [..continued] therefore 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.
Satan
lost his position as Priest
and
the "Breastplate of the 12 Stones"
and
his death sentence is about to be announced!
Ezekiel
28:17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty,
thou
hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness:
I
will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may
behold thee.
Satan
gets a great big lesson in humility,
though
not for his sake,
but
for the benefit of us, the other children,
to
serve as an Example and a Reminder to us!
God
has not carried out this sentence just yet.
It
will be done during the Millennium,
at
the end of this 2nd earth age,
when
he is cast into the pit
and
everyone who walks by will "look down" on him
and
see him as the "scum" he really is.
Let's
read about it in Isaiah
Isaiah
14:12-16 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!
Did
you notice that???
There
were nations back then in the first earth age,
and
there are nations now in this earth age,
and
there will be nations in the eternity (Rev. 21).
[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:
He
wanted to completely take over!
He
wanted to be God!
It
reminds me of today's politicians and the "New World Order"!
[14]
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most
High.
[15]
Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
[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;
These
next two verses contain Satan's final sentence of judgment
pronounced
by our Father.
It
is the only one of its kind to this point in all of eternity!
Only
Satan has been judged and sentenced to date.
Ezekiel
28:18 Thou hast defiled
thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of
thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth
a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee
to ashes upon
the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
He
sentenced Satan to die, to PERISH.
That's
right, He sentenced one of his own children,
who
he at one time was very fond and proud of, to eternal DEATH.
And
so the beautiful, once high ranking Lucifer,
now
the lowly fallen Satan,
will
henceforth be called the "son of Perdition",
the
one son of God (so far) who definitely WILL PERISH in the lake of fire!
Perish,
i.e. Gone forever to be no more!
You
just read it!
See
verse 18 above (... therefore I bring
forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring
thee to ashes...)
So
much for eternal torment!
Like frying people in a burning
hell for ever and ever.
See
verse 19 below (... never shalt thou be any
more.
Ezekiel
28:19
All they that
know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a
terror, and never shalt thou be any more.
God
did not carry out Satan's death sentence yet.
We'll
read about why, later.
You
can (and should) assume that you have
previously
been mislead about Satan
and
are or might be deceived.
Matthew
24:5
For
many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ;
and shall deceive many.
Unfortunately,
many preachers today, claiming to speak in
Christ's name, don't speak of God or His Word
the things that are right!
This
Hebrew word for "sinned" is "chata'"
and
it is extremely important to understand its meaning,
for
contained in this word is what Satan DID that was so EVIL.
Read
it again!
chat*a',
khaw-taw', Hebrew 2398; a primitive root; properly to miss; hence (figurative
and general) to sin; by inference to forfeit, lack, expiate, repent, (causative)
lead astray, condemn :- bear the blame,
cleanse, commit [sin], by fault, harm he hath done, loss, miss, (make)
offend (-er), offer for sin, purge, purify (self), make reconciliation,
(cause, make) sin (-ful, -ness), trespass.
Did
it ever occur to you that you are being deceived
if
you have never been taught
why
God didn't destroy Satan way back
when
He sentenced him to perish.
He
is going to use Satan to teach us, His other children,
that
the consequence of disobedience is eternal death.
But
first he must allow us to experience death,
not
eternal death,
but
physical death (as in flesh and blood death)
You
see, in our study to date we are still in the first earth age. We are not
in bodies that will die. Up to this time only animals had flesh and blood
bodies. God will now teach us to know and appreciate what death is like.
Yes,
Satan will be a terror for a little while, even as God will use him in
His Plan, and people will be astonished at him when he is allowed to show
up as the false-christ in this final generation of this second earth age
and assume his former lofty position
(for
he will claim to be Jesus Christ).
But
his sentence has already been passed and it is FINAL,
and
there is no appeal to a higher authority,
for
there is no higher authority than our Father.
What
about all of the other children who Satan lead to sin?
We
didn't read anything about them being judged!
Were
any other sons judged back then?
Yes,
actually there were some who were later judged
(though
they were not fallen ones) and even justified.
We
will read all about them soon enough!
You
might even be one of them!
But
the good news is that the next court date set for FINAL JUDGMENT
has
been postponed until AFTER the Millennium,
because
our Father has a Plan to save many of His children, even though they sinned
It
is called the Plan of Salvation, and it is a Plan of Love for His children!
Are
you deceived?
Didn't
you know
That,
God
Completely Destroyed The First Earth Age.
Almost
everybody acknowledges that there was a time long ago
when
Dinosaurs roamed this earth.
Science
calls that age of long ago "prehistoric times"
while
the Bible calls that age "the world that then was" (2 Pet. 3:6).
Also,
there is one other obvious fact that everyone agrees with,
and
that is there are NO MORE dinosaurs!
They
are ALL gone, extinct!
The
demise of the dinosaurs was quick and sudden
Without
the Word of God man will NEVER be able to determine "why" it happened.
The
Word of God tells us "why" they perished.
Let's
recap what we have learned so far, earlier in our deception
study:
This
is Before GEN. 1:1
1.)
Wisdom was with God before He ever had sons
and
before He ever created the heaven and earth. (Prov. 8:23-25)
2.)
God created all souls, including you and me,
because
His desire was to have sons, i.e. children. (Prov. 8:31)
His
sons were NOT created in flesh bodies
but
rather in what we will call angelic bodies,
just
like His son Lucifer who he anointed to be one of the prestigious "morning
stars",
which
is what his name means.
This
is GEN. 1:1
3.)
God then created the heaven and the earth to be inhabited by His sons (Isa.
45:18,
Gen.
1:1) and they all shouted for joy when He finished it. (Job 38:7)
This
is the "world that then was" which science calls the prehistoric age of
long, long ago,
the
age of the great dinosaurs.
His
sons/we did begin inhabiting the earth,
which
again is the reason our Father made it for us.
We
will soon document from the Word that there were cities and birds, etc.,
but
remember, the sons of God were not made out flesh and blood,
which
is why human bones and remains are NOT found along with those of the dinosaurs.
Now
you know why.
After
GEN. 1:1 and Before GEN 1:2
4.)
Everything was perfect and harmonious in those prehistoric times,
in
that world that then was, until the very great and high-ranking Lucifer
"sinned" greatly (Ezek. 28:16)
by
drawing 1/3 of the sons of God away from Him (Rev. 12:4)
and
caused them to be cast down, i.e. to fall away from their Father.
5.)
God then judged Lucifer [Satan] for his evil deeds and sentenced him,
without
appeal or provision for repentance, to die, to perish,
to
be no more (Ezek. 28:18).
This
will happen in the lake of fire (Rev. 20:10) at the end of the Millennium.
Are
you deceived?
Didn't
you know about
The
second verse of the Bible
We
Were There,
in
the Prehistoric Earth Age of Genesis 1:1,
But
Flesh Man Didn't Exist At The Time.
So
you ask again, "where is flesh man when God destroyed the first earth age?"
The
answer again is: "There is no flesh man yet.
We, God's
children still have bodies which are not made out of flesh and blood".
But
there is a big, big problem!
That
problem is that fully 1/3 of God's family has fallen away and followed
after Satan and his One World Order,
the
structure of which you can read about in Rev. 12:3-4.
(The
political and religious system Satan had back then is almost identical
to
the New World Order found in Rev. 13:1
that
he will have when he is soon cast out of heaven to this earth in Rev. 12:7-9.)
What
should our Father do about those who followed Satan?
He
is not too happy, to put it mildly.
Actually,
we will read He is quite angry.
Well,
He could bring everyone into accountability and judge them also,
but
too many of His children would end up with the same death sentence as their
leader Lucifer.
That
is a very unpleasant thought for any loving parent to think about.
Fortunately,
in His infinite wisdom which He possessed
from
before the beginning of "the world that then was",
He
had a loving and ingenious plan to "save" as many of His sons as possible
from
the sentence of death already imposed on Satan.
So
instead, God postponed everyone else's judgment, after He judged Satan,
and
He COMPLETELY DESTROYED the "world that then was", the prehistoric age,
and
the earth became a complete and utterly dark and desolate wasteland,
and
the water canopy that surrounded the earth was brought down
and
now covered the entire earth's surface.
We
have now come to the second verse in the Bible.
The
prehistoric age of Gen. 1:1 is over and the earth has now become a desolation.
Genesis
1:2 And the earth was (became) without form, and void;
and
darkness was upon the face of the deep.
And
the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
So
the entire earth became in the Hebrew tongue,
"tohu
va bohu", translated "without form" [tohu] and "void" [bohu] in the King
James Bible.
Here
are their definitions from Strong's:
tohuw,
to'-hoo, Hebrew 8414; from an unused root meaning to lie waste; a desolation
(of surface), i.e. desert; figurative a worthless thing; adverbial
in vain :- confusion, empty place, without form, nothing, (thing of) nought,
vain, vanity, waste, wilderness.
bohuw,
bo'-hoo, Hebrew 922; from an unused root (meaning to be empty); a vacuity,
i.e. (superficially) an undistinguishable ruin :- emptiness, void.
We
are given the details of this destruction of the prehistoric age
in
the Book of Jeremiah, chapter 4:
Jeremiah
4:19 My bowels, my bowels! 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 trump, the alarm of war.
"My
bowels", if you care to look it up in Strong's,
is
figurative for "my heart".
Our
Father is very pained that He must do this to His children and His beautiful
creation.
Dr.
Moffat translates verse 19 like this... [19] "O my heart, my heart! it
writhes!
On
how it throbs! My soul is moaning! I cannot hold my peace..."
He
anguished at the very thought of having to do the following:
Jeremiah
4:20 Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is spoiled:
suddenly
are my tents spoiled, and my curtains in a moment.
Ruin
upon ruin, for the whole earth is ruined.
SUDDENLY
are my dwelling places ruined,
and
in an INSTANT all my shelters are torn down!
[21]
How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet?
He
hated to do it!
[22]
For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children,
and
they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil,
but
to do good they have no knowledge.
The
word "sottish" means "stupid".
Remember,
this is our Father speaking!
This
is what He has to say about His children.
Here
is the N.A.S. version:
[22]
For my people are foolish, they know Me not; they are stupid children,
and
they have no understanding.
They
are shrewd to do evil, but to do good they do not know.
Note:
If you do have understanding then you will understand
that
this verse is also descriptive of His children in this final generation
who
have once again allowed Satan to establish his corrupt New World Order.
This
next verse will document
that
the destruction God is referring to here in Jeremiah
is
the destruction of the entire earth,
reduced
to the EXACT same condition of "tohu va bohu" and "darkness"
that
we read of in Gen. 1:2, which we will parallel for emphasis.
Jeremiah
4:23 I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void;
and
the heavens, and they had no light.
Genesis
1:2 And the earth was (became) without form, and void;
and
darkness
was upon the face of the deep.
We
now continue to read the description of how the earth became "tohu va bohu".
Jeremiah
4:24 I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills
moved lightly.
The
great earthquake shook the mountains and the hills were moved with ease.
[25]
I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were
fled.
Everyone
was GONE,
He
took His sons away from their beautiful home,
and
everything else was turned upside down and completely destroyed.
You
can witness the remains of the prehistoric world,
the
world that then was, in the layers of the earths crust.
Question?
Have you ever read about or seen TV specials which speculate about a "Lost
City of Atlantis"?
Well,
if you believe God's Word, then speculation is over for you.
There
WERE cities in the prehistoric age and the next verse documents it.
[26]
I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness,
and
all
the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD,
and by his fierce anger.
Who
destroyed the prehistoric age and the dinosaurs and the cities
and
reduced the beautiful fruitful place to a wilderness?
The
LORD GOD destroyed it!
Our
Father wiped it all out and took it all away from us!
And
He destroyed it because of His fierce anger.
He
was very ANGRY with the evil caused by the Satan
and
his rebellion and the fact that His children in their STUPIDITY
followed
after that corrupt clown, Satan.
Look
around you today and you will see exactly the same thing happening.
God's
children are once again STUPIDLY following after EXACTLY the same
"dung*
"
(Ezek. 4:12) from EXACTLY the same "man",
Satan,
the one who has been judged already to perish, i.e. the son of perdition.
And
most of them are SO STUPID (as God calls them) that they don't even know
it!
But
THIS TIME they are going to LEARN so great a lesson
that
hopefully it will save their soul at the time of their judgment
(and
they will ALL be judged)
from
the same sentencing decreed upon Satan,
which
is to perish in the lake of fire and to be no more!
The
fact is if you don't eventually come to "believe in"
(which
means to do and follow) the Lord Jesus Christ,
and
His ways (not this religious "dung*",
which
fills up churchianity and breeds Biblically ignorant Christians
(which
is what stupidity is) and allows liberalism to flourish
and
bring about a New World Order) then you will perish as it is written in
John 3:16.
So
just how swift and sudden was the destruction of the prehistoric age,
the
"world that then was"?
It
is evident that God literally knocked this earth off of its axis
and
out of its perfect orbit,
because
He created it perfect and we know it was a lush green "fruitful place"
from
the Arctic to the Antarctic (as evidenced by the mammoth discoveries we
discussed),
but
now it tilts and it wobbles as it spins which is why magnetic north
and
true north do not perfectly align and we are left with a Magnetic Declination,
as
anyone who knows how to use a compass will tell you.
Do
a search on the internet on "magnetic declination".
MAGNETIC
DECLINATION
The
axis of the dipole is offset from the axis of the Earth's rotation by approximately
11 degrees.
This
means that the north and south geographic poles
and
the north and south magnetic poles are not located in the same place.
Declination
is simply the difference in degrees from Magnetic north
and
True relative north to your position.
True
NORTH (north & south poles) are the axis of the earth.
The
north and south poles are the starting and ending point of longitudinal
lines that segment the earth.
Because
of this declination we also have what is called the "jet stream"
which
produces weather patterns and storms upon the earth
that
were not present in the once peaceful "world that then was".
But
our Father has also promised us that the earth will someday be restored
and
there will be a new heaven and a new earth age not be compared to this
present one, the second one.
You
see, there are Three Earth Ages;
1.)
the prehistoric age of the world that then was,
2.)
the present one that we are in now, and
3.)
the one to come following the Millennium.
The
apostle Peter [2 Peter 3:6,7 & 13]
explains
the three world ages to us
and
how people are "willingly" ignorant (stupid) about how the "world that
then was" perished.
Gen
1:3 starts the beginning of this current flesh age
and
how it applies to the glorious Plan of Salvation
our
Father has given to His children.
