The End of the First Earth Age and the Present Earth Age
January 8th 2012 12:02
Thank you for joining me again. In the last study we learned that there were 3 world ages and that God destroyed the first earth age in its entirety. That means totally and completely, no living thing survived. Now, we are going to learn why that happened.
In the first earth age, God's children we were all in spiritual bodies, there were no flesh men. A third of God's children were deceived by Satan and his group (known as the fallen angels). This is commonly referred to as the overthrow of Satan (Isaiah, Ezekiel, Revelation), at his first rebellion. We know he wanted to sit in the mercy seat but his job, or position, was to “cover” which means to protect it. He was so proud of himself and jealous that Christ was to sit in the mercy seat that he wanted to take over and rebel against God (Ezekiel) so that he could be God. Of course this failed. But what happened as a result?
At this time, God could have just destroyed all of the souls that embraced evil and tried to rebel. But our Father loves His children. What would it take for you to kill your own child? Our Father is the same way, it was difficult for Him and wanted to be fair. Evil is no good, it can not be allowed in heaven. So, in an effort to give everyone a fair chance at deciding which they choose to love (themselves/Satan OR God/righteousness), He made man flesh. Flesh bodies gives us a time limit to choose a side to devote our love to. While we are in the flesh we are exposed to both good and evil. So, we were all made flesh to choose to live eternally and love God or perish with Satan and his fallen ones.
Let's go to scripture:
Genesis 1:26 “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness” (**The scriptures are a letter to us. When God said let US make man in OUR image- this was how and when He decided to make man flesh. We were with God, our souls, or spiritual bodies were there with Him. We were made in the image that we were there. This was the beginning of mankind, our life, the test and trial to choose.)
Now, as you read through the bible book by book, chapter by chapter and verse by verse, you will notice that is full of God's presence helping,guiding and directing flesh man and Satan trying so hard to make as many as he can follow him (or make men lover's of themselves above God which is in essence exactly what Satan did/was at the first rebellion) to give every single soul alive the good and evil influences so that no one can be to blame for their decision but themselves. We learn early on (Genesis 6) that it grieved God that He had made men flesh because Satan and his fallen angels were corrupting mankind so intensely. This shows that He didn't want to, but this was the only way to give every soul a chance to choose whom they would love.
The next study will be on God's Elect, the scriptures that prove we were with God and knew God before we became flesh, and much more.

Thank you.

You see, I am of the belief that a person's history or education is pointless when God's Word is so capable and Jesus Christ has all the credentials to teach every soul. It is the Holy Trinity who teaches, I am merely a vessel that God uses to teach the word in love and guide people to understand that there is a supernatural Creator, our Father who loves them, and a bigger picture than what they could ever imagine. It is not "me" who leads and teaches but God who teaches through me; His word, His truth, His plan, not mine. Everything I teach comes directly from the word of God, not some man who has been taught a specific theology or doctrine- but biblical truths written by almighty God through the chosen, throughout time. His history and background are what is important here, nothing I could accomplish in my lifetime could ever scratch the surface of His knowledge, love, creativity, etc. Learn from Him, not from me.
I hope that satisfies your curiosity but I also hope that you understand that I will not use this platform to magnify myself in any way- that would go against my very principle. I am glad that you are learning more about scripture here and I pray that God is glorified.
Have a blessed day.
