LET THERE BE LIGHT!
We are going to delve into creation, and possibly the purpose for it. This study might not align with some of the standard teachings of the "church" today, but then there are many varied and conflicting beliefs WITHIN the "church" today, so it is obvious that not all that is taught WITHIN corporate doctrinal structure is the Truth, the WHOLE Truth, and nothing BUT the Truth of God. We will attempt to put some things into perspective that will draw us nearer to the true understanding He may intend for us to have in these end days.
We will start by looking at the Genesis creation story, then we'll correlate this version to that found in John. We will use Hebrew and Greek to assist us in understanding God's true intent.
When we go to Genesis 1:1, we read as follows:
1) In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Genesis 1:1
This is an overview of the things to follow, as we see this was not accomplished until the second and third days. Thus the only thing we would want to note about this verse is the word "created" which was not mentioned again in the context of the second and third days. This word "created" indicates "formative process", but also a "selection process", a "choosing", and a "cutting down". So in the formative acts of creation, what might have been selected or chosen, what might have been cut down, and how was this accomplished? Or maybe I should say how IS this BEING accomplished? Before we conclude this study, I hope you will see what I mean. But for now we will go on to verse 2 which states:
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.
Genesis 1:2
Wow, within this one short verse, we come to ten more terms which need our attention! So referring to our notes, let's dissect this slowly. The word "earth" doesn't always have to have a strict physical application of "land mass" as in our planet. It can also be "WILDERNESS" or "world". We are finding that the concept of the vast Biblical use of wilderness is rather awesome, and includes interdimensional considerations. We'll leave it at that for the moment and proceed. "Without form" here means - well, well, there it is "WILDERNESS", "in confusion", "waste", "worthless". So we see that possibly the entire region of interdimensional space was counted as wilderness, and was not yet formed - a worthless wasteland of confusion. It was also void, which means vacuum. It is interesting that a black hole is often defined as a vacuum. We proceed by reading that darkness was on the face of the deep. Darkness means death, wickedness, obscurity. The word "upon" can mean throughout, and "face" can mean "countenance", and sometimes carries the connotation of "heaviness". "Deep" here is "an abyss" "deep place" which is linked to "an uproar" "agitation", "destruction", and "movement". So let's analyze this. We could be seeing in the depths of Biblical understanding here that God was addressing a particular situation. He was dealing with a deep abyss, i.e. a black hole of sorts whose countenance was heavy and abounding with DEATH, WICKEDNESS, and OBSCURITY. We see that movement is also associated with this abyss. I think as we proceed, we will see that that is exactly what God has in mind - He will move it alright!
Still in verse two, we see that the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. Now we recall that death resides here. Conversely, the word Spirit means LIFE. It is the breath or life source of God. The word Tempest or wind indicates that this source of life is not always subtle and gentle. It can probably even be downright rudely intrusive to the likes of evil. We will deal a bit more with this Life Force in just a moment, but let's look the rest of this sentence. It seems that this Life Force hovered over and possibly throughout the various countenances of this unorganized wilderness, including our conspicuous black hole, then interacted with it. We need to look at the word "waters" here though, as it is very important that we see what can be meant by this term.
We should recall that there are various means of reproduction among the different life forms and species of creation. It's not always necessary for a male and a female to merge in order for reproduction to occur as is necessitated in humanity, but rather asexual reproduction can occur within the bodies of certain beings. Looking at our Hebrew reference to the word "water", we see that within the waters, God may have been observing waste, urine, and last but not least, semen, or the reproductive seed. It is vital that we see here that it is precisely these things that we would expect to find in a womb. In human birth, the water which surrounds the baby breaks and the baby is born. The waste products of the baby within the womb are released when the afterbirth is expelled. Looking at the wording of this passage, some believe that God is speaking here of a womb of sorts, and I count myself among them. Indeed it may have been the womb of God Himself.
We should stop here to look at the definition of God. It is a subject not too often approached in our pulpits today, as it is very hard to put a definition to that which we call God. The New Age lie LIMITS God to the realm of and/or ruler of all the forces and energies of creation and nature. Indeed this is a part of His function, but the error of New Age is in LIMITING Him to this concept. He is also a God who thinks, reasons, and understands. He cares for His own and has a relationship with those who love and honor Him. There is no place for such a relationship within the New Age doctrine.
I believe that God in His ultimate and highest form is not only the Creator of all things, but that everything which is, ever has been, and ever will be WAS at one time embodied within God. Bear with me for a moment now, while we explore this a bit! That is why nothing can be created except BY Him. You see, pantheism, which says that God is in all things and that all things are God, is just a slight twist of a Truth that may have actually prompted all of creation as we know it. If everything (including this ultimate black abyss where evil or wickedness lurked) was within God, maybe creation is the inevitable plan of God to rid Himself of this evil and isolate it for eternity. Don't tune me out now. To deny that there was ever any evil present in God is not Biblical. I Samuel 16:16 is one of several verses that tells about the "evil spirits" FROM GOD which dealt with Saul. Obviously there was evil mentioned in these verses which was "FROM God", so we will deal with this difficult concept here and now.
"From" here may not mean that He counted them as being His, which would seem to be opposed to His holy nature, but maybe rather that they came "from" within Him, as having been EXPELLED, EXILED, or REMOVED "from" Him. It is possible that He saw that the fertilized seed of this womb had become corrupted, and was producing an evil offspring, i.e. that the essence of death was being nourished within this womb. God cannot endure imperfection, so it is obvious that this womb of evil must either be purified or severed and removed immediately. The plan proceeded. A laser type beam would be introduced into the womb to present healing light to the defiled seed, but if the light was rejected, there would be no choice but to surgically remove the offending chamber.
In verse 3 we see the plan coming together. We have God's life force hovering over the womb, and He generates a shaft of light from this life force. Verse 3 reads:
3) And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
Genesis 1:3
Verse 4 then begins by saying:
4) And God saw the light, that it was good: ....
Genesis 1:4A
Though my philosophy relative to the womb of God is slightly different from that of Avi Ben-Mordechai, there is a depiction of the womb and the initial shaft of light which entered it as he sees it in his book titled Messiah Volume 3. In this much we do agree, and his artwork does do a good job of relating this idea. It shows a white line of light being inserted into a confined area of a darkened void. And God saw the light, that it was good: ... . "Good" here is "kind", "loving", "gracious", "pleasant".
The gospel according to John will clarify what is happening here a bit more when we get to it, but for now, we will simply say, that God approved of the light, and it was introduced into the womb. There was apparently some acceptance of the light, but some rejection as well.
As I see it being played out, the womb was split in half by the light, and one side of the womb received the light while the other did not. Twin embryo resided within the womb, they would become the Tree 1 and Tree 2. The twin embryonic trees were intertwined at the roots. It would be a very tricky surgery to disentangle the two, much like the surgery to separate twins who are born joined together. However, we have a master surgeon on the case, and He is meticulous. This surgical procedure would have to be intricate and precise, and because the wheat and tares must mature together before they can be divided, the surgery would take a few millennia to accomplish, but what is time to God?
In the conclusion of verse 4, we read:
4) ... and God divided the light from the darkness.
Genesis 1:4B
The word "divided" here is counted by Hebraic standards to be of imperfective action, and the action of this verb must be viewed as a part of a whole. That is to say it is a part of an ongoing process! This process would take some 7000 years by our calendar, and, indeed it is still going on now!
In our passage, the first step of the surgery had been accomplished. He had separated this mass which was partly good and partly evil from Himself where He could deal with it from a distance and retain His purity.
The word "darkness" here has a number of unexpected meanings. We find among them, "selected out of a group", "separated", "severed", "discerned", "distinguished between", "shut out", "PRESERVED ETHNIC IDENTITY", "SEVERED OUT UTTERLY". This good light cut into the abyss like a sword and with it, God selected out of Himself the objectionable chamber, separating it, and severing it from Himself. As we proceed, we will see that the ongoing surgical procedure will be about the business of discerning, distinguishing between, and separating the good seed from the evil seed, which were both being nourished within this womb. Through this process, God will PRESERVE HIS ETHNIC IDENTITY via the GOOD SEED, ultimately shutting out and SEVERING OFF THE OFFENSIVE SEED for purification! Through the sovereign orchestration of the hand of God, all of creation is brought forth from this mass which He has just removed from Himself, and all will eventually be returned to Him in purified form.
I want to jump ahead in Genesis for just a moment and look at God's fantastic patterning. When He formed Adam, he was formed in God's image, then God breathed life into him. God then proceeded to put Adam to sleep, and surgically removes "one of his ribs". However, that which our English version of the Bible calls a "rib" is the Hebrew word "tsal'ah" which also means "side" and "chamber", thus our translation of "rib". Chamber, however, may be much different than that which we know as a rib! The word "one" here can easily be rendered "whole" and "of his" can be "from him". Thus we see that maybe God removed the "whole chamber from him". Indeed, if Adam was originally made in God's image and was self replicating, the organization of his internal organs MAY have been configured just a bit differently, and reconstructed after his surgery. It is entirely possible that the womb which would house the placenta may have been accessible from the side, this being the whole chamber which God removed. From it, He made Eve. Adam knew exactly what had been taken from him, and Genesis 2:23 says he called her Woman, (because she was TAKEN OUT OF MAN). Thus we see he named her WOMAN, i.e. WOMB (of) MAN. From the forming of Eve forward, life could only come from the female who now had within her the womb of man. At any rate, Genesis 2:21 says that God proceeded to "close up the 'flesh' INSTEAD thereof". This flesh is very interesting in the Hebrew. Among the definitions for "basar" we find "genitals". Could this be the INSTEAD of verse 21? In asexual beings, the genitalia is there, but it is internal and the seed and egg are united within the single body. Could God have formed man's genitalia when He surgically removed the chamber (womb) from which He would form WOMB-man? Man and woman would now have to come together externally in order to procreate.
Genesis 1:5 reads:
5) And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
Genesis 1:5
Note here that neither the earth nor the sun and the moon had yet been formed, and yet He says that the LIGHT is called DAY and the DARKNESS is called NIGHT, so THIS rendering of DAY and NIGHT is much more complex than that which we now know as day and night. "Day" in the Hebrew refers to "that WHICH IS NOT DARKNESS", and "night" is a "TWISTING AWAY of the light". It is interesting that the New Testament warns us in Matthew 6:23 of a "light" that is "darkness". This would be the light which was twisted away from the true light, distorted and reflected light, the root of which is actually darkness. It is a false light. Thus, Tree 2 has its own impure version of light.
Now God has isolated the womb of creation from Himself until He can resolve its issues. Verses 6-8 read:
6) And God said Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. 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. 8) And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
Genesis 1:6-8
The firmament was affixed to separate that which He had just severed off from Himself. Looking at our Hebrew origin, we see that it was apparently stretched to fit, achieving total separation between God and that which was now safely sealed off below Him. The waters above this demarcation line of the firmament would be eternally pure, and could never be spoiled. His Holiness will be eternally undefiled above this firmament. What is below is all of creation, and must still be sorted. In fact, when the Bible says the waters UNDER the firmament, it is rather interesting phrasing. We already know that this word "water" can mean semen or seed, and under actually means because of or by reason of jealousy, rivalry or contention - the exact reason Satan was cast out of heaven. Are we beginning to see how this happened? The converse word above indicates that that which is ABOVE the firmament is the Highest, i.e. God. You see, He is eternally secured there! The firmament is called heaven, which the Hebrew indicates is where the celestial bodies revolve. Indeed He is about to form them from His womb of creation!
Isaiah 57:15 refers to this One as the "high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy". The Biblical use of the word "name" often rather means the character of the person, as it does here. This is not His name, it is His CHARACTER. Psalm 68:4 says that He rideth upon the heavens and His name is Jah, which means the INDEPENDENT ONE, the EVERLASTING LORD, the LORD most vehement. Daniel repeatedly refers to Him as the MOST High God. In Acts, Paul indicates that there are multiple levels of heaven. You see, God, being a God of patterns often repeats the pattern in multiples. As He contends with segments of evil here and there, He will isolate them by likewise affixing a firmament or gulf between the good or the evil and that which He is still sorting. We find this in Luke 16:26, where a gulf is fixed between the lower compartment of Hades and the paradise in Abraham's bosom. Such a gulf cannot be crossed, except at the Lord's bidding, as only He can engineer the crossing.
Genesis 1:9-13 tells us of earth being formed in the third day. Again, earth here can mean land or land mass. The formation of masses of land would include the formation of what we know as our earth, but would not necessarily be LIMITED TO our earth. Just as there are multiple heavens, Hebrews 11:3 indicates that there are multiple worlds as well. We'll take a side trip to that verse for just a second. It states:
3) Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
Hebrews 11:3
Now without getting into the Greek, this verse would be pretty difficult to understand. But a little Greek is just the touch we need to bring us some insight. If we will refer to the Greek, we will find that the words "were framed" means "adjusted to fit perfectly", "joined together", "prepared". Word indicates "matter", "topic", "command", "utterance". Thus we see that it is a type of fail proof plan determined by God and played out via His utterance. "Seen" here can mean "beware", "take heed", "lie". The phrase "were not made" here means "were divided", the word "of" can be translated "out from among", and the word "appear" can mean "shine with light". Piecing this back together now we see that it could show us something beautiful hidden in this short verse. We might see something to the effect of: Through faith we understand that at least two worlds were adjusted to fit perfectly and joined together, prepared by the fail proof plan of God so that things which are of the lie or false light which we have been told to heed are divided out from among things which do shine. The implication is that this shining light is God's TRUE light!
You see, as God's creative commands were spoken, I believe that a dual creation came into being. It is probable that there was BOTH a Tree 1 and a Tree 2 version. God prepared multiple worlds, probably in multiple universes. The Bible speaks openly of two of them, i.e. Eden and our Earth. God has prepared the two parallel worlds of Eden and our present world. I believe there are a few others as well, but these two are the prime two worlds which mankind knows of today. They are separated by a dimensional veil or gulf. The Edenic world is where mankind began, and the world from which he fell when he fell into sin. It is the world of light to which we long to return, the world guarded by the cherubim with the flaming sword, wherein is found the TREE OF LIFE. We are now in the fallen world wherein is found the TREE OF KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL. Our task as Believers is to overcome this world and be found separate from it in order to become fit once again for the Edenic world.
I must pause here for just a second to say that we cannot do this on our own!!!! Though we are commanded to separate ourselves, we can only do this by SUBMISSION to the Holy Spirit within us, and by constant cleansing by the precious blood of Yeshua as we confess and repent of our transgressions.
God's design by creating multiple worlds/universes is the means by which He can separate the light from the dark. They are separated by dimensional veils. I believe that God will take His purified human vessels through a dimensional veil and back to Eden for the Millennial Kingdom.
New Agers believe that the goddess Gaia is embodied in the earth, and that as they seek the release of her feminine energies the earth will be healed and we can enter the Age of Aquarius. The word occult means "hidden", not forbidden. However, some things are "hidden" by God for good reason, and we must be very careful when we consider those things which fall into this realm. However, there is an occult perspective on energy that has merit, i.e. there are two types of energy. They are masculine and feminine energies. In an attempt to manipulate these energy forces, occult practitioners use white magic and black magic. Both are actually the occult versions of "magik", and are defiled energies. Thus, what they consider to be white magic, and good feminine healing energy is also polluted, and even as its powers bring healing, they simultaneously pollute. Because these energies CAN be used for healing the physical body, they are viewed as good energies, but I believe that they are not, and that receiving them can defile the soul, even as they heal the body. In fact, the New Agers are calling for the emergence of the FEMININE energy to HEAL the earth and those who reside here. These polluted feminine healing powers will be a primary miracle used to deceive the elect, and may already be rampant within Christendom.
God's healing power is the pure white energy, and it was this healing power that Yeshua used and gave to a few select followers, and may only have been for a time. Since that time, the seed of these two trees has become hopelessly blended. If there is still ANY pure white energy of healing in effect today, there would be no way to tell it from the defiled darkened energy which is so easily perceived to be white. Tree 1 energy is all white and pure, and Tree 2 energy is all polluted and darkened to varying shades of black. The white of this darkened energy is only white in contrast to the darker shades of black, but is also dark. We have much "healing" being done in Christendom today at the hands of man. We need to be mindful that we now live in Tree 2 setting, and the seed of the vessels through which this energy flows has become mixed. As a result, much (if not all) of the "healing" energy of our day is TAINTED WITH the dark nature at best, or OF the dark nature at worst, and we must be extremely careful.
As it relates to Christendom of the latter days, Matthew 8:5-13 might actually be warning us of this problem. It tells of a Centurian who requests that Yeshua merely speak forth the command to heal. Yeshua says that THIS was the highest level of faith. No touching would occur. He merely trusted Yeshua to bring forth healing by command, should He choose to do so, and Yeshua did so. We too can exercise this HIGHEST form of faith and request directly to God to command our healing if it be within His will to grant it, rather than receiving a healing touch by man. If it is within God's will to grant it, He will. If it is not, would we really want it anyway? We have a VERY SOMBER warning to conclude this passage. It states that many CHILDREN OF THE KINGDOM will be cast into Outer Darkness where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. It appears that many who had utilized the lesser faith and were healed at the hand of man in the end days may have ended up with defiled souls after receiving these polluted healing energies through the touch of man, and they had failed to repent of it and be cleansed. As a result, they faced Outer Darkness. I would not receive healing from the hand of man today, but rather, only directly from God via prayer to Him. When we return to the Tree 1 Edenic realm during the Millennial reign of Yeshua, we will be back to the white energy provided by this tree, and tremendous healing and restoration will occur for the body of Christ.
Through God's separation techniques, ultimately ALL evil residue will be confined in the matrix of the womb of waste, and will be swallowed up as the afterbirth and cast into the depths of an all consuming black hole of creation. However, there is also a white hole noted in science today. The pure white energy of God will provide healing purification to all and bring forth the corporate child of light which will be caught up and taken through the white hole to the other side of the divide into eternity, and God will once again be ALL in ALL (I Corinthians 15:28). Thus you see, this whole process of creation may well have been to purge and purify God Himself when He first spotted impurity in His womb. We, who are made in His image, are told to do likewise. If we have sin, we are to surgically remove it and cast it from us. We are to overcome by separating ourselves from evil. Thus we are purged and purified through the blood of Christ as we confess and repent of our sins so we can become fit to return unto Him.
In the occult rendering, it is usually thought that the feminine energy is dark and the masculine is light. This does seem to have some merit, because the female first became defiled by eating the forbidden fruit. Thus, the dark is the feminine defiled energy. However, some controversy exists because there are both masculine AND feminine energies in BOTH Tree 1 AND Tree 2. So does Tree 2 have light? Does Tree 1 have dark? I believe that while each of these two trees has traits and energies that are masculine AND feminine, that which is found in Tree 1 is all white and undefiled, whereas that which is in Tree 2 is all dark and defiled - merely varying SHADES thereof. This is why confusion still exists today in occult teachings relative to the full extent of the yin/yang, dark/light, male/female energies.
To find the feminine side of God's Tree 1, please recall Yeshua's own words in John 16:7, when He says that if He doesn't go away the Comforter will not come unto us. Now King James uses the male gender to refer to the Holy Spirit in most of the Bible, though the personification of Wisdom (a trait of the Holy Spirit) is noted as female in Proverbs. You see, there are indications that the essence of the Holy Spirit may actually be feminine. I have checked this out, as have many others, and find that the choice of male gender in the Biblical text does not necessarily indicate male energies.
Let's consider for a moment that, according to Yeshua's own words in John 16:7 the Holy Spirit (who is the Spirit of Truth per John 15:26) could not come forth into the world to dwell within man until after Yeshua was crucified. I believe that this may be because the spirit was dwelling inside Yeshua (the last Adam) and was taken from Him after His crucifixion just as Eve was taken from the first Adam when God put him to sleep and surgically removed his womb from him. The centurion prophetically opened the side of Yeshua as He hung upon the cross, and it may be that the Holy Spirit was removed in like manner to that which occurred to Adam as Yeshua spent three days and three nights in the tomb. The Holy Spirit inhabits each Believer today and will select those who will be the Bride of Christ. The portion of the feminine side of God that will return to Him will be the uncorrupted and Pure side of the Holy Spirit, and those purified vessels whom the Holy Spirit inhabits. God will not be without a womb throughout eternity. As soon as the womb of creation is purified, it will be put back into its rightful place within God so He can once again become all in all - complete in purity!
There is a Tree 2 gospel message, just as there is one for Tree 1. The Merovingian Dynasty is prevalent in the Tree 2 version, and it is interesting that they view the womb of Magdalene as being the Holy Grail. Indeed the womb of God may have been a holy grail (or transport mechanism of sorts), which brought the twin trees embryos into the dimension of time.
The perspective I seem to be getting is that the offending womb was cut out of God and placed below the firmament divider. From above the firmament, God then orchestrated all of creation. He created a place of beauty called Eden for the pure and living portion of creation to reside. He created also multiple places where the fallen would reside. Eden was for the living portion of the womb (Tree 1), and the fallen realms would encompass the dark and dead portion of the womb (Tree 2). However, because all of these realms were a part of creation and below the firmament, they were linked by portals. From Eden to earth, we have at least two portals, the wide and the narrow. Eden is somewhat like a type of ovary, and the egg which contained Adam and Eve was flushed down the portal into the black womb matrix when they fell via the wide portal. This portal acts as a uterine or fallopian tube which leads from the ovary to the uterine womb.
The uterine or fallopian tube is a rather wide tube, but beneath the ovary is a second narrower tube which also appears to attach to the uterus. We have a wide path where the eggs are ejected and sent TO the uterus, and a second narrower connecting tube which is neither named nor addressed in the reproductive system notes. It is there, but it's purpose is hidden in this context. It may be that even our human bodies were designed by our God of pattern much like His cosmos. Could this be similar to the secretive and hidden narrow portal which is not accessible to the enemy? We'll return to the concept of the womb momentarily.
Genesis 1:14-18 tell of the fourth day. It reads:
14) And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: 15) And let them be for light in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. 16) And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. 17) And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, 18) And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
Genesis 1:14-18
Christendom at large has written off the word "rule" in these verses as being figurative, but what if it is not limited to this understanding? Remember now that "day" and "night" existed before these two lights were put over them. Remember also our Hebraic definitions for "day" and "night". "Day" was "that which is NOT DARK" (i.e. the true spiritual light), and "night" means "a TWISTING away of the light" and "ominous", (i.e. the false spiritual light). Now God puts the physical bodies of the sun and the moon in place to point to the spiritual reality of the light and darkness with which He is dealing. Now isn't it appropriate that the sun is the light which will rule the day, and the moon is a dark body which can only reflect the sun, and is to rule the night? Some believe that the moon used to have a light of its own, but that this light was extinguished. This fits well with Genesis 1:16, indicating that what God called the "LESSER light" may have actually brought forth its own light at one time. In a figurative sense, this might relate to Yeshua and Lucifer.
You see, these are real celestial bodies, but I believe they are ruled by those assigned to do so by God. We have recalled before the Biblical mention of the SUN of God coming with healing in His wings, etc., indicating a mystical reference to this enigma. We also have the STARS being created at the same time, such as Orion, Pleiades, Arcturus, etc. The "ruling" factions associated with these celestial orbs may not be limited to their ability to light the sky, but something much more real and profound. Yeshua rules those who are NOT of darkness because they have isolated themselves from darkness and yielded their allegiance to Him. On the other hand Lucifer rules those who are involved in twisting the true light of Yeshua to accomplish their distorted version of His gospel message, (as well as those who receive this message rather than the true one). It is probable that the principalities, powers, and RULERS of the DARKNESS of this world, i.e. the SPIRITUAL WICKEDNESS in HIGH PLACES relates to those who are given rule over these celestial bodies AS WELL as the rule over the darkness of this world!
Then Adam appeared on the scene and really caused a stir when he was given dominion over Eden. However, when Lucifer successfully coerced Adam and Eve to sin, they fell from their position of rule, and were put under the subjection of Lucifer. Now Adam and all of his descendants could only be redeemed from Lucifer by the One who was greater than Lucifer, which was Yeshua. He would come to rule those of the day, the ones who would be redeemed from the dark matrix of the defiled womb of the night. Only then could they return to Eden to their day of rest - rest from all they had endured in order to overcome.
At this stage, let's take a look at John 1:1-5 and 14. It parallels the Genesis creation story. It reads:
1) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2) The same was in the beginning with God. 3) All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made. 4) In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5) And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. 14) And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
John 1:1-5 & 14
The manner in which these two texts merge together highlights what we have been studying. Thus we'll start with John, and watch the flow of the story. John 1:1-3 begins by saying:
1) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2) The same was in the beginning with God. 3) All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made.
John 1:1-3
Genesis 1:1-2 reads:
1) In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 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.
Genesis 1:1-2
Genesis 1:3-4A continues:
3) And God said, Let there be light, and there was light. 4A) And God saw the light, that it was good: ....
Genesis 1:3-4A
We mentioned that the shaft of light was life. It seems that this light is the same light which would later embody Yeshua, as John 1:4 states:
4) In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
John 1:4
God now inserts the light into the womb, as John 1:5 reads:
5) And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
John 1:5
As I see it, the greater light and the lesser light were in the two embryonic trees within this womb, as was all of creation. The lesser light became jealous of the greater light. Pride ensued, and the lesser light determined that he would be better than or higher than the greater light. This Pride was in strict opposition to the light of life, so the light that he had began to die, (i.e. become extinguished), and God detected death within His womb. Matthew 25:14-30 tells us that the worthy one who has much shall be given more, and the unworthy one who has little will be stripped even of that little which he has. It will be given to the worthy one. When the beam of light was inserted to try to resurrect the ebbing life force, the greater light received the light of life and was further nourished by it. Regarding the lesser light, however, the arrogance of pride had set in, and this healing light was rejected. This sealed the fate of his demise, along with all who would be procreated from Tree 2. So it is - they will not be able to embrace the light in this life. It has been taken away from them for a time. Thus, as we stated earlier, God decided that surgery was necessary, and started the ongoing process denoted as "divided" in the conclusion of Genesis 1:4. Continuing from there through verse 8 we read:
4) ...and God divided the light from the darkness. 5) And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. 6) And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. 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. 8) And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
Genesis 1:4B-8
Genesis 1:14-15 says:
14) And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: 15) And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
Genesis 1:14-15
Continuing on with verses 16-18, the word "made" in the next verse is Strongs #6213, and can mean brought forth. Though they were there already, it appears that God deemed it was time for them to be presented onto the stage of creation at this point.
16) And God made (brought forth) two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. 17) And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, 18) And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
Genesis 1:16-18
Lucifer was given a slight head start in the unfolding drama of this surgical procedure. He had a mere 4000 year jump start in earth time, which is just the blink of the eye from God's vantage point. Incidentally, it is the firstborn of twins throughout the Word who is usually the problem child! Lucifer begun his rule over humanity when Adam fell, as well as all who were "of the night" in the spiritual realms. Now Yeshua must come to inject the light force into a dying world to see if any of mankind would receive it. Those who would embrace His light would be of the spiritual "day", and He would rule over them, and ultimately redeem them to God. John 1:14 reads:
14) And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
John 1:14
Recall that in Genesis 2:18 God says:
18) It is not good that the man should be alone. I will make him a help 'meet' for him." "Meet" here means "similar but opposite to".
Genesis 2:18
Such was the case with God Himself. Maybe He was lonely and wanted companionship, so He formed within Himself a companion "meet" for Him. However a portion of it became defiled. The whole saga of the womb of Adam being formed into his spouse and her fall may be patterned after that which happened with God Himself. His surgical process with Adam was like unto His own. Whereas there is still a pure female essence, i.e. via the Holy Spirit, maybe it is counted as male in most of our Biblical text simply BECAUSE of the understanding that most of the female essence today is polluted. However, the Holy Spirit does signify the ultimate Bride, and IS pure.
Genesis 2:17 Adam was warned NOT to eat of the "knowledge of good and evil" or he would die. What exactly was this knowledge? In many Biblical references, knowledge implies more than head knowledge, but also relationship with various degrees of intimacy. You see, when man was perfect in God, and living in a perfect world, there was no need for him to HAVE any knowledge of evil whatsoever. To choose an acquaintance with evil to any degree was to compromise God's plan for him, and a form of idolatry. Now idolatry and adultery are close cousins, and I have not yet determined EXACTLY what type of "knowledge" may have occurred with Eve's confrontation with Lucifer at that fateful hour temptation, but at the VERY LEAST Eve committed idolatry, and it is possible that she had intimate knowledge (adulterous knowledge) with evil (Lucifer) as the ultimate effect of her new KNOWLEDGE of Evil. At any rate, as a result of her new acquaintance with evil, she not only fell from grace, but she pulled Adam down with her. Eating the forbidden fruit cost them greatly.
However, this is not the only time someone was severely chastened by God for disobeying His command not to eat something. One other reference does come to mind, and we should look at it now. I believe the reference, found in I Kings 13 is closely linked to the garden. It is a story about a man of God without a name. (There are two men of God referenced in this passage, so we will call this one #1). God had sent #1 to prophecy against the altar in Bethel where Jeroboam burned incense. He did as God instructed, and Jeroboam was infuriated. During the unfolding drama, the Lord smote Jeroboam by drying up his hand. Jeroboam then begged #1 to pray to God to restore his hand. #1 then entreated God, and God restored Jeroboam's hand. Then Jeroboam invited #1 to dine with him and receive a reward. This is where things REALLY start to get interesting. Note #1's response. He states in verses 8-9:
8) ... If thou wilt give me half thine house, I will not go in with thee, neither will I eat bread nor drink water IN THIS PLACE: 9) For so was it charged me by the WORD OF THE LORD, saying, Eat no bread, nor drink water, nor turn again by the same way that thou camest.
I Kings 13:8-9
As #1 leaves the place via another way, per God's instructions, word quickly spread about what had just occurred.
Another man of God (whom we will call #2) heard about this, and quickly rode to intercept #1 before he could get too far down the road. #2 asked #1 to return with him and eat with him. #1 again responds by stating that God had forbidden him to do so. THEN #2 convinces him that it is OK for him to do so. Listen to the narrative #2 uses to convince #1. We find it in verse 18. He said unto him:
18) I am a prophet also as thou art: and AN ANGEL SPAKE UNTO ME BY THE WORD OF THE LORD, saying, Bring him back with thee into thine house, that he may eat bread and drink water. BUT HE LIED UNTO HIM.
I Kings 13:18
A question arises here. Which "he" is which? Who lied to whom? Does the Bible mean that #2 lied to #1 because no such thing had happened, or does it mean that the angel lied to #2 when he said that he was giving #2 a WORD OF THE LORD? I rather believe that it was the latter. I believe that #2 was esteemed by the people as a respected man of God. However, he fell prey to becoming lax in discernment and discretion, and ended up becoming a vessel used to deceive his "brother" in the faith and cause him to fall, and, as we will see, the fall was deadly! Note again the words which the angel had said to #2. "Bring him back with thee into thine house, that he may EAT BREAD AND DRINK WATER." The enemy must have known that this was the EXACT thing which God had told #1 NOT TO DO! Now let's check this in reference to our Edenic story.
Genesis 3:1 says that the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. Now "subtle" is Strongs #6175, which means wise and understanding, and initially had a positive connotation, whereas it seems that it later developed the stigma of craftiness, being a negative connotation. And he said unto the woman, "Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?" Here too the enemy knew exactly what God had said not to do, and convinced Eve that God didn't really mean what He had said. What he said conflicted with what God had said, but in spite of this, Eve believed him. After all, the serpent was wise, and at that time she would have had no reason NOT to trust him. I rather think she may have spoken with him routinely, and viewed him as a friend, much as we would one of our pets if they could speak today.
ExtraBiblical sources seem to acknowledge that Lucifer knew that Eve had a good relationship with the serpent and would not be suspicious of him. So, Lucifer appeared to the serpent and asked for permission to enter him to speak to Eve through him. Though the serpent is acknowledged to be wise, he apparently failed to discern the true colors of Lucifer and see that this would hurt Eve. In addition to God's anger toward Adam and Eve, He was rather irate with the serpent, and from this point forward, it appears that serpents are indelibly linked with Lucifer. Because Eve had no reason to mistrust the serpent, she put what he said above that which God had said, and she ate of the forbidden fruit.
Neither did #1 expect a lie to come forth from the mouth of #2, as #2 was also a man of God. What he was told by #2 conflicted with the Word he was given by God, but because it came from another man of God who said it was given to him as a Word of God, he accepted the message of this messenger as being of God over and above what God had given him directly, and he bought the lie.
They both ate forbidden fruit which a lying spirit had told them THROUGH A TRUSTED COMRADE that they could eat, being in conflict with what God had said. A form of death awaited each of them for their acts.
This, however is where Genesis parts ways with our I Kings passage. The reason for this is because our Genesis passage tells of the ORIGINAL sin of man, and our I Kings passage tells of a later fall of man that would pertain to those within the Body of Christ. Let's continue and see how this is so. #1's disobedience is tied to the fact that by eating of this bread and drinking of this water, he would be going BACK THE WAY HE CAME, but we'll touch on that in a moment. Let's complete the story.
#1 returned to eat with #2, and while he was yet eating, the Lord spoke through #2 to tell him he would die for his disobedience. What words to be told from your host! The same mouth which had deceived him had just condemned him for being deceived! The man left, and true to the Word of the Lord, a lion slew him as he left.
Now, you may ask, just what was so bad about the bread and water of this place? I believe as it relates to today, that "this place" is the black womb of death from which we were lifted when we first believed upon Yeshua. When we put on the mantle of Yeshua, we are pulled out of the decaying womb and put on a DIFFERENT road leading to home. Though we can not be TOTALLY physically freed from this black womb matrix until we are severed from it at the time of our transport, we are spiritually removed from the dominion of it by the mantle of Yeshua and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. We are then placed on the narrow path that will ultimately take us through the NARROW way or portal and into the pure womb of light in Eden via the portal where the Tree of Life stands. The wide portal is inside the darkened and defiled womb. There is a way to Eden from this womb as well. It is the way through which man descended when he was kicked out of Eden, the portal where the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil stands. Satan's emissaries are busily trying to restore their access to Eden via the wide portal with which they are familiar. It is the way by which we came to the place where we now are. The NEW road is the one on which we have never been - the one which God intends for his purified vessels to travel. To chose to try to get to Eden by the old route instead of the new is to defect back into that from whence we came, i.e. the dog returning to its vomit.
In our Kings passage, the bread and water were symbolic of the Aquarian Tree 2 gospel message. If we eat and drink of it, we will be sucked by the black hole back into the web of death and destruction from which we were lifted. As Believers, we receive the living water of the Holy Spirit within us per John 7:38-39. John 4:14 says that the one who drinketh of the water which Yeshua shall give him shall never thirst, so to drink of the water of the false Anti Christ spirit may be on the par of blaspheming the Holy Spirit. The true gospel message is also equated with bread when Yeshua retorts to Satan that 'man shall not live by bread ALONE, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. To consume the bread of the Aquarian gospel would again be blasphemy to the Word of God.
I would stress that our God is a God of pattern. His patterns are symbolic of spiritual truths. When this man ate this bread and drank this water, the literal bread and water he ate were not bad, but what they symbolized was blasphemy, and because God had clearly warned him not to do what he did, he would die for his disobedience, and ultimately for his failure to discern.
Galatians 1:6-7 warns us of another gospel, a perversion of the real, which will seduce mankind. It is also mentioned in II Corinthians 11:4, in conjunction with the presentation of ANOTHER JESUS. He may be waiting in the wings! In reference to this context, verse 3 reads:
3) But I fear, lest by any means, AS THE SERPENT BEGUILED EVE through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
II Corinthians 11:3
Let's go back again to the plight of #1. He has just been told that he must die for his disobedience. It is important to note that #2 spoke also the TRUE Word of the Lord when he prophesied against #1 during their meal together. Thus, even as we noted with Saul in the days of David, just because a Prophet speaks the truth of God at times, does not mean you can believe him all the time!
Now #1 must have been some kind of upset when he set about to head for home, and rightfully so, as his death was at the door. In fulfillment of the true Word of God, a lion slew him while he was en route. Word came back to #2 about his death, and #2 immediately went to the roadside where he lay, and brought him back for burial. There was something else intriguing about this passage though, which is the lion. The lion performed his duty at the hand of God, and killed #1, but strangely, he did not eat him. He actually seemed to stand over the body in a protective stance until #2 arrived to take the body away. Neither had the lion harmed the ass upon which #1 was riding, and apparently the lion offered no resistance to the removal of the kill he had just accomplished. You see in the typology this was not just any lion. This was a regal lion - a lion who was wielding the power and judgment of God for God's purposes rather than for his own. He did not kill because it was his nature, or he would have consumed the kill. He killed because the very HOLINESS of a righteous God absolutely demanded precisely such a royal decree of death.
It is likely that the lion in this passage is significant. You see, the Lion of Judah will be the judge at the Bema throne. According to the parable regarding the pounds found in Luke 19, verse 14 speaks of those whom the Lord merely calls His "citizens" because they would not allow Him to rule over them and didn't deserve to be called His "servants". They too were HIS people, but in verse 27, He calls for them to be brought before Him and slain. As we piece together the rest of the New Testament here a little and there a little, we see that their bodies will then be disposed of in Gehenna, the hellhole where their bodies will reside during the Millennial Kingdom. In this typology, the body has been slain by the Lion of Judah who is jealously guarding it until it's means of transport arrives to take it to its next destination.
Just one more note should be made here before we move on. Unlike our Genesis passage, in I Kings, a MAN deceived a MAN. There was no woman involved, and no woman to blame. You see, this time around, men are so easily deceived that there doesn't have to be a weaker vessel involved to bring them deceit. It is rampant. In Christ, there is spiritually no male or female, as EACH of us has the Holy Spirit within and the Bible without with which to refer. We have God's Word and the leading of the Holy Spirit (WHO WILL NOT CONFLICT WITH GOD'S WORD), and we must heed God's Word implicitly. If what we are told by an angel himself, much less by a mortal being does not align with God's Word, we must reject it. Doing so may save our body AND our soul!!!
I keep wondering. Do you suppose that if #1 had been warned that this deception was coming he would have rejected the message of #2? Maybe he would have been spared the consequences he faced. This, my friends, is what motivates us in this ministry to endeavor with almost every waking moment and breath to uncover the deceitful tactics which will be thrust upon us at any moment, and to warn the body of Christ. We do so BECAUSE this passage foretells the awful truth that many of God's people (His true and beloved people, who are doing what He has asked them to do, and who are trying to serve Him) WILL fall prey to the deception to come UNLESS they are warned in advance. God's Word tells of the deception, but does not spell it out, and the discernment of Christendom at large has been greatly compromised by the entrapments of the theatrical advances of religiosity. I don't mean to be cruel, but yes, I do intend to be candid. Our guard has been dropped, and Christendom is ripe for the deceptions to come.
This passage tells us that the deception will be heralded by one of the brethren of the faith. Share International says the same thing. They openly acknowledge that one or more Christian figures who are well known today will proclaim the Aquarian gospel and validate its leaders. If the serpent's lies come forth THROUGH A TRUSTED member of the "faith" movement, will you believe what he says?
We strive to uncover and expose the deadly deception to come, but we can only warn. Whether or not our brethren will have to face the consequences #1 had to face may well depend on whether or not they choose to heed these warnings.
In the end, however, I believe that all which has been purified will emerge back into God. The Present Kingdom of those who belong to God is ruled by the Holy Spirit, and it will be merged into the Millennial Kingdom to be ruled by the Son, which will ultimately be merged into the Father's Kingdom. From this kingdom we will step into eternity on the other side of the final Divide. These are all simply "ages" in the continuing purification process.
I Corinthians 15 hints at this. Verses 24-25 speaks of the transition of the Millennial reign of Yeshua to that of the Father's Kingdom. Verses 24-28 read as follows:
24) Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. 25) For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. 26) The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. 27) For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him. 28) And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
I Corinthians 15:24-28
This all in all would be the reuniting of God on the other side of the Firmament, where the Eternal Kingdom will occur outside of time and creation.
Does this mean that we will lose our individuality in the Eternal Kingdom? No, I don't think so. Remember, God is a God of pattern. I believe when that which has been permanently purified is rejoined to God on the upper side of the firmament via the white hole, He will once again allow birthing of the purified womb, and from it, He will form a creation much as we have here, only with greatly amplified splendor, and outside the boundaries of time. His abiding presence will be so intense there that we will feel it continually, and we will know Him fully, and will shine with His glory, with individual degrees of brightness.
I Corinthians 15:40-41 seems to link our new celestial bodies with stars, as verse 41 says:
41) There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: FOR ONE STAR DIFFERETH FROM ANOTHER STAR IN GLORY.
I Corinthians 15:41
So you see, just as we have dealt with the fact that there were "hosts" or ruling powers and principalities in conjunction with the stars in our present creation, which are principalities and powers, etc., it may be that we, in turn, will shine as the hosts of stars in God's new creation on the White side of the firmament.
Once we are rejoined with God, are we then divine? Webster's defines divine as being "of, relating to, or proceeding directly from God". The key word here is DIRECTLY. Yeshua is God's only BEGOTTEN Son, as having proceeded DIRECTLY from God. So, no we will not be divine in the same sense as the Father, or the Son. Yet, as we might view the various degrees of glory, such as the sun, the moon, and the stars, there may be a DEGREE of divinity bestowed upon us, and indeed it may be already upon us, though it is almost non existent as compared to the divine glory of Almighty God!
We see how those who have glorified God in their lives here, will shine with appropriate degrees of divine glory then, as Daniel 12:3 says:
3) And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever.
Daniel 12:3
II Corinthians 3:18 seems to concur. It reads:
18) But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
II Corinthians 3:18
Blessed be He - the One who knows the beginning from the end, the One who has orchestrated the entire program so that we can dwell in purity, forever separated from evil, in unbelievable splendor and glory as a part of the boundless wonder which is encompassed within the totality of our loving and benevolent God!
