Scriptures: Genesis 3; Isaiah 42 v 9; 43 v 18; 48v3; Rev
21v4 - 5; Micah 5 v 2.
In my search for the truth of what happened to us all, I
was led to start in Genesis and look into the past. This gave me the timespan
of 6 Days ie the days of Creation linked to the time we were kidnapped. To
understand why a certain tree was forbidden to the first humans I again looked
into the realm of antiquity which the Lord also referred to as the "former
things".
There were two trees in the Garden of Eden that had special
significance: the Tree of Life (also found in Rev 22) and the Tree of Knowledge
of Good and Evil. The Tree of Life was the Trinity of God who clothed man in
spotless innocence and everlasting life. The other tree brought carnal
knowledge and death. Eve was beguiled, conned, tempted to eat the forbidden
fruit; Adam did it with the full awareness that he was empowering satan to be
god of this world. It had to be done.
This world is a slow motion action replay of the 6 Day
Realm. God has made a Man in whom is the unremembered atrocities he has
experienced. God breathes life into Adam to bring his 'dead in original sin'
soul to life. Within his spirit is a part of the body of His slain Son. Adam
and Eve have free will. If they can resist THAT tempting tree then God will
have succeeded in undoing the burden of every man yet to be born. The rest is
history.
Before the creation of Adam and Eve I am vaguely aware of
hostage negotiations being discussed. This is what I remember -
No memory of
Heaven or 6 Days Realm;
Man has free will to decide whom he will worship;
The
consequence of sin is death;
God will have one special group of people with
whom He can express His nature, miracles, laws, truth, power;
Satan is god of
THIS world until the battle for the universe is won;
Satan has legal title to
Earth;
God cannot do anything in the Earth without first establishing a legal
precedent;
God can send a certain number of deliverers, judges, kings,
prophets, apostles, teachers to Earth; God can bring judgment on Earth for
gross manifestations of evil in people;
God can send one Messiah;
Satan can
bring sin, disease, poverty, death and destruction at will;
Each human will
have enough faith to believe in God;
God can respond to the prayer of
faith.
The parameters have been set and our Father releases His
first humans into Eden breathing life into them and giving them freedom in
every area except one. By the time of Noah the whole human race then living
were totally corrupt and reprobate. The only people still honouring and obeying
God was Noah and his family. Eight people. Noah built the Ark and housed his
family and pairs of every animal. God covered the whole Earth with a Flood of
judgment and was sorry He had made Man.
Abraham set a legal precedent when he took Isaac his son
on God's instructions into a mountain to slay his only son. At the last moment
God stopped the sacrifice of Isaac and substituted a ram. God now had the right
to sacrifice His Son Jesus and substitute Him for the whole human race.
The tower of Babel in Babylon was the start of Baal
worship and every false religion stems from that source. After the Flood the
lifespan of man was reduced to 70 years from hundreds of years.
All the horrors of the 6 Day Realm were manifesting on
Earth and God had to destroy the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah because of their
extreme wickedness.
Jesus responded to questions about when the end of the
world would come with the words that the same wickedness and corruption as in
the time of Noah and Lot would be overwhelming. It is getting very close and
the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil is flourishing in the form of the World
Wide Web. Webs are there to catch prey for spiders to eat. Don't be caught up
in the evil side of knowledge, trust in Jesus to save you from it all.
Prayer: Father God to know You is to love You. To be part
of Your family is just wonderful. I pray that their understanding would be full
so they can be aware of their place and importance in Your Kingdom. In Jesus'
name. Amen.
To be continued. The 6 Day Realm Unpacked.
