IN THE BEGINNING GOD CREATED THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH. (Genesis 1:1) To understand God's Word we must first understand why we are here on earth in the flesh in the first place. There are Three World Ages written of in our Father's Word and we are now living in The Second World Age. Why? What is described in Revelation chapter 12 happened BETWEEN the first and second verses of Genesis. "AND THERE APPEARED A GREAT WONDER IN HEAVEN; A WOMAN CLOTHED WITH THE SUN, AND THE MOON UNDER HER FEET, AND UPON HER HEAD A CROWN OF TWELVE STARS: AND AFTER BEING WITH CHILD CRIED, TRAVAILING IN BIRTH, AND PAINED TO BE DELIVERED. AND THERE APPEARED ANOTHER WONDER IN HEAVEN; AND BEHOLD, A GREAT RED DRAGON, HAVING SEVEN HEADS AND TEN HORNS, AND SEVEN CROWNS UPON HIS HEADS. AND HIS TAIL DREW THE THIRD PART OF THE STARS OF HEAVEN, AND DID CAST THEM TO THE EARTH... (Revelation 12:1-4) The Dragon is Satan, and the Stars of Heaven are God s children. When Satan said in his 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: I WILL ASCEND ABOVE THE HEIGHTS OF THE CLOUDS; I WILL BE LIKE THE MOST HIGH." (Isaiah 14:13,14) Satan deceived a third of God s children into following him. ( HIS TAIL DREW THE THIRD PART OF THE STARS OF HEAVEN ) Needless to say, God was not happy about this AT ALL. The Book of Jeremiah tells us how God reacted: "I BEHELD THE EARTH, AND LO, IT WAS WITHOUT FORM, AND VOID; AND THE HEAVENS, AND THEY HAD NO LIGHT. I BEHELD THE MOUNTAINS, AND, LO, THEY TREMBLED, AND ALL THE HILLS MOVED LIGHTLY. I BEHELD, AND, LO, THERE WAS NO MAN, AND ALL THE BIRDS OF THE HEAVENS WERE FLED. 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. FOR THUS HATH THE LORD SAID, THE WHOLE LAND SHALL BE DESOLATE; YET WILL I NOT MAKE A FULL END." (Jeremiah 4:23-27) For the earth was not created tohu (Isaiah 45:18), but became so, as stated in the Hebrew of Genesis 1:2 and confirmed by 2 Peter 3:6, where "THE WORLD THAT THEN WAS BY THE WORD OF GOD" (Genesis 1:1), perished, and "THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH WHICH ARE NOW, BY THE SAME WORD" were created (Genesis 2:4), and are "KEPT IN STORE, RESERVED UNTO FIRE AGAINST THE DAY OF JUDGMENT" (2 Peter 3:7) which shall usher in the "NEW HEAVENS AND THE NEW EARTH" of 2 Peter 3:13. (From Appendix 146 of The Companion Bible By E.W. Bullinger)
God destroyed "THE WORLD THAT THEN WAS" because of Satan s rebellion. This is how Satan became the son of perdition. You can read about how he received the death sentence in the 28th chapter of Ezekiel. The reason behind creating "THE HEAVENS AND EARTH WHICH ARE NOW" and causing each soul to be born of woman IS: The only alternative God had was killing a third of His children for worshiping Satan. What would YOU do? And, not only did God include Himself when He said "LET US MAKE MAN IN OUR IMAGE", and was born of woman also, but died on the cross at the hands of His own creation so that "WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE." (John 3:16) The word "everlasting" is "aionos" in the Greek, and means"perpetual (also used of past time, or past and future as well):-eternal, for ever, everlasting, world(began). (Strong s Exhaustive Concordance)". It means, if you believe in Jesus Christ, YOU, who never ceased existing from the day you were created, will continue to exist throughout eternity, rather than being blotted out, which is what it is to"perish". Whosoever believes in Christ will not be cast into the lake of fire at the end of the millennium. "AND THE EARTH WAS WITHOUT FORM, AND VOID; AND DARKNESS WAS UPON THE FACE OF THE DEEP." (Genesis 1:2) The word "was" here is a bad translation. If you go back and check it out in the original Hebrew language, you can see for yourself that it reads "AND THE EARTH BECAME WITHOUT FORM, AND VOID." "WHEREBY THE WORLD THAT THEN WAS, BEING OVERFLOWED WITH WATER, PERISHED." (2 Peter 3:6) Whenever you see the words "BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD" in God s Word, it is always in reference to "THE WORLD THAT THEN WAS".Same planet, different age. The word "FOUNDATION" is translated from the Greek verb for "The Overthrow". When Satan rebelled, there were some who stood against him. They will stand against him again. "BLESSED BE THE GOD AND FATHER OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, WHO HATH BLESSED US WITH ALL SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS IN HEAVENLY PLACES IN CHRIST: ACCORDING AS HE HATH CHOSEN US IN HIM BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD, THAT WE SHOULD BE HOLY AND WITHOUT BLAME BEFORE HIM IN LOVE: HAVING PREDESTINATED US UNTO THE ADOPTION OF CHILDREN BY JESUS CHRIST TO HIMSELF, ACCORDING TO THE GOOD PLEASURE OF HIS WILL." (Ephesians 1:3-5) These are the only ones capable of committing the Unforgivable Sin. And, as of the time of the writing of these words, NO ONE is capable of committing it. It cannot be committed until Satan appears on earth in the role of Antichrist.
God s Elect are those who were chosen before the foundation of the world. The Elect sprang into action and stood against Satan. They will stand against Satan again when he appears on earth as the False Christ. This is when The Holy Spirit will speak through them in a language everyone can understand. So if someone ever tells you The Holy Spirit is speaking through them, and then proceeds to spew out a bunch of unintelligible nonsense, they are pulling your leg. They are pulling their own leg also, if you want to know the truth of it. Check it out for yourself in the second chapter of the Book of Acts: "AND WHEN THE DAY OF PENTECOST WAS FULLY COME, THEY WERE ALL WITH ONE ACCORD IN ONE PLACE. AND SUDDENLY THERE CAME A SOUND FROM HEAVEN AS OF A RUSHING MIGHTY WIND, AND IT FILLED ALL THE HOUSE WHERE THEY WERE SITTING. AND THERE APPEARED UNTO THEM CLOVEN TONGUES LIKE AS OF FIRE, AND IT SAT UPON EACH OF THEM. AND THEY WERE ALL FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST, AND BEGAN TO SPEAK WITH OTHER TONGUES, AS THE SPIRIT GAVE THEM UTTERANCE. AND THERE WERE DWELLING AT JERUSALEM JEWS, DEVOUT MEN, OUT OF EVERY NATION UNDER HEAVEN. NOW WHEN THIS WAS NOISED ABROAD, THE MULTITUDE CAME TOGETHER, AND WERE CONFOUNDED, BECAUSE THAT EVERY MAN HEARD THEM SPEAK IN HIS OWN LANGUAGE. AND THEY WERE ALL AMAZED AND MARVELLED, SAYING ONE TO ANOTHER, BEHOLD, ARE NOT ALL THESE THAT SPEAK GALILAEANS? AND HOW HEAR WE EVERY MAN IN OUR OWN TONGUE, WHEREIN WE WERE BORN? PARTHIANS, AND MEDES, AND ELAMITES, AND THE DWELLERS IN MESOPOTAMIA, AND IN JUDAEA, AND CAPPADOCIA, IN PONTUS, AND ASIA, PHRYGIA, AND PAMPHYLIA, IN EGYPT, AND IN THE PARTS OF LIBYA ABOUT CYRENE, AND STRANGERS OF ROME, JEWS AND PROSELYTES, CRETES AND ARABIANS, WE DO HEAR THEM SPEAK IN OUR OWN TONGUES THE WONDERFUL WORKS OF GOD." (Acts 2:1-11) I rest my case. What happened was this: before the foundation of the world, Satan rebelled. All the souls God ever created were there. Some followed Satan. Some did nothing. But a few made a stand and fought. This is why some people have eyes to see and ears to hear and some don t. Those that made a stand against Satan in the World That Was, God knows He can trust to do it again. This is who the Holy Spirit will speak through: The Elect. "WE ARE TROUBLED ON EVERY SIDE, YET NOT DISTRESSED; WE ARE PERPLEXED, BUT NOT IN DESPAIR; PERSECUTED, BUT NOT FORSAKEN; CAST DOWN, BUT NOT DESTROYED; ALWAYS BEARING ABOUT IN THE BODY THE DYING OF THE LORD JESUS, THAT THE LIFE ALSO OF JESUS MIGHT BE MADE MANIFEST IN OUR BODY. FOR WE WHICH LIVE ARE ALWAY DELIVERED UNTO DEATH FOR JESUS SAKE, THAT THE LIFE ALSO OF JESUS MIGHT BE MADE MANIFEST IN OUR MORTAL FLESH." (2 Corinthians 4:8-11) We learned in Hebrews 2:14 that Death is one of Satan s names. He can t pass himself off as Jesus if he s killing people. Satan causes a spiritual death to whoever he can deceive into following him instead of Almighty God. Satan was the tree of the knowledge of good and evil God commanded Adam not to eat of (lest ye die).
God created all the races on the sixth day, "AND BEHOLD, IT WAS VERY GOOD." (Genesis 1:31) The word in Hebrew for the sixth day creation translated as man in the King James Version is adam. (mankind in general who were created both male and female and were hunters and fishers and told to replenish the earth ) THUS THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH WERE FINISHED, AND ALL THE HOST OF THEM. AND ON THE SEVENTH DAY GOD ENDED HIS WORK WHICH HE HAD MADE; AND HE RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY FROM ALL HIS WORK WHICH HE HAD MADE. AND GOD BLESSED THE SEVENTH DAY, AND SANCTIFIED IT: BECAUSE THAT IN IT HE HAD RESTED FROM ALL HIS WORK WHICH GOD CREATED AND MADE. THESE ARE THE GENERATIONS OF THE HEAVENS AND OF THE EARTH WHEN THEY WERE CREATED, IN THE DAY THAT THE LORD GOD MADE THE EARTH AND THE HEAVENS, AND EVERY PLANT OF THE FIELD BEFORE IT WAS IN THE EARTH, AND EVERY HERB OF THE FIELD BEFORE IT GREW: FOR THE LORD GOD HAD NOT CAUSED IT TO RAIN UPON THE EARTH, AND THERE WAS NOT A MAN TO TILL THE GROUND. BUT THERE WENT UP A MIST FROM THE EARTH, AND WATERED THE WHOLE FACE OF THE GROUND. 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. (Genesis 2:1-7) The word for the man He created separately after the seventh day to till the ground is eth- ha adham. This is Adam. (as in Adam and Eve) "AND THE LORD GOD COMMANDED THE MAN, SAYING, OF EVERY TREE OF THE GARDEN YOU MAY FREELY EAT: BUT OF THE TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL, THOU SHALT NOT EAT OF IT: FOR IN THE DAY THAT THOU EATEST THEREOF THOU SHALT SURELY DIE." (Genesis 2:16,17) Later, in Genesis chapter 3, Eve says to the serpent (a.k.a. Satan. This was not a talking snake. Read Revelation 12:9) concerning the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (also Satan. He started out good and then became evil. God uses trees to symbolize people throughout His Word. For example: Psalm 1:3, Proverbs 3:18, Daniel 4:20-22, Hosea 14:8, Matthew 7:15-20 ETC.) "GOD HATH SAID, YE SHALL NOT EAT OF IT, NEITHER SHALL YE TOUCH IT, LEST YE DIE." (Genesis 3:3) That word "touch" is #5060 in the Strong s Exhaustive Concordance of The Bible and is a Hebrew euphemism that means "to lie with a woman."
"BUT I FEAR, LEST BY ANY MEANS, AS THE SERPENT BEGUILED EVE THROUGH HIS SUBTILTY, SO YOUR MINDS SHOULD BE CORRUPTED FROM THE SIMPLICITY THAT IS IN CHRIST." (II Corinthians 11:3) If you were to look up the word "beguiled" in the Strong s Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, you would find it listed as #1818 and it means "to seduce wholly". And when you read 1 John 3:12: "NOT AS CAIN, WHO WAS OF THAT WICKED ONE." It becomes all the more clear what we re talking about here. "AND THE SERPENT SAID TO THE WOMAN, YE SHALL NOT SURELY DIE: FOR GOD DOTH KNOW THAT IN THE DAY YE EAT THEREOF, THEN YOUR EYES SHALL BE OPENED, AND YE SHALL BE AS GODS KNOWING GOOD AND EVIL." (Genesis 3:4,5) In The Gospel of John, Christ left no room for doubt as to who He was speaking to: "YE ARE OF YOUR FATHER THE DEVIL, AND THE LUSTS OF YOUR FATHER YE WILL DO. HE WAS A MURDERER FROM THE BEGINNING, AND ABODE NOT IN THE TRUTH, BECAUSE THERE IS NO TRUTH IN HIM. WHEN HE SPEAKETH A LIE, HE SPEAKETH OF HIS OWN: FOR HE IS A LIAR AND THE FATHER OF IT." (John 8:44) What happened in the Garden of Eden resulted in Eve s impregnation with Cain and Abel: Twins fathered by two different people. Abel was Adam s son, and Cain was the son of Satan. Cain, the first murderer, does not appear in the genealogy of Adam because he was not Adam s son. The sons of Cain (the Kenites) appear throughout the Bible, and are who Christ was talking about in Revelation 3:9, as well as In The Parable of The Tares of the Field. "AND WHEN THE WOMAN SAW THAT THE TREE WAS GOOD FOR FOOD, AND THAT IT WAS PLEASANT TO THE EYES, AND A TREE TO BE DESIRED TO MAKE ONE WISE, SHE TOOK OF THE FRUIT THEREOF, AND DID EAT, AND GAVE ALSO TO HER HUSBAND WITH HER; AND HE DID EAT." (Genesis 3:6) "Eat"is Strong s #398: "to eat (literally or figuratively). If you read Ezekiel 28:17, where God is sentencing Satan to death, you will find out he was both beautiful ("PLEASANT TO THE EYES") and wise ("A TREE TO BE DESIRED TO MAKE ONE WISE") Just like the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Why? Because he IS the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
"AND THE EYES OF THEM BOTH WERE OPENED, AND THEY KNEW THAT THEY WERE NAKED; AND THEY SEWED FIG LEAVES TOGETHER, AND MADE THEMSELVES APRONS." (Genesis 3:7) Why would they cover up their genitals if the sin they committed was eating an apple? The word apple is not even in the book of Genesis. "AND THEY HEARD THE VOICE OF THE LORD GOD WALKING IN THE GARDEN IN THE COOL OF THE DAY: AND ADAM AND HIS WIFE HID THEMSELVES FROM THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD GOD AMONGST THE TREES OF THE GARDEN. AND THE LORD GOD CALLED UNTO ADAM, AND SAID UNTO HIM, WHERE ART THOU? AND HE SAID, I HEARD THY VOICE IN THE GARDEN, AND I WAS AFRAID, BECAUSE I WAS NAKED; AND I HID MYSELF. AND HE SAID, WHO TOLD THEE THAT THOU WAST NAKED? HAST THOU EATEN OF THE TREE WHEREOF I COMMANDED THEE THAT THOU SHOULDEST NOT EAT? (Genesis 3:8-11) Adam is ashamed. This looks forward to the warning Christ gave in the Book of Revelation concerning His return at the Seventh Trumpet: BEHOLD, I COME AS A THIEF. BLESSED IS HE THAT WATCHETH, AND KEEPETH HIS GARMENTS, LEST HE WALK NAKED, AND THEY SEE HIS SHAME. (Revelation 16:15) When a Christian starts worshiping Satan, they are no longer a Christian. This means they lose credit for all their righteous acts that make up the fine linen we wear in Heaven as we know from Revelation 19:8. This is how those who worship the False Christ are made naked. AND THE MAN SAID, THE WOMAN WHOM THOU GAVEST TO BE WITH ME, SHE GAVE ME OF THE TREE AND I DID EAT. AND THE LORD GOD SAID UNTO THE WOMAN, WHAT IS THIS THAT THOU HAST DONE? AND THE WOMAN SAID, THE SERPENT BEGUILED ME, AND I DID EAT." (Genesis 3:12,13) Remember the definition of "beguiled"? "AND THE LORD GOD SAID UNTO THE SERPENT, BECAUSE THOU HAST DONE THIS, THOU ART CURSED ABOVE ALL CATTLE, AND ABOVE EVERY BEAST OF THE FIELD; UPON THY BELLY SHALT THOU GO, AND DUST SHALT THOU EAT ALL THE DAYS OF THY LIFE." (Genesis 3:14) This is a statement of degradation, much like the one in The Book of Micah: "THEY SHALL LICK THE DUST LIKE A SERPENT, THEY SHALL MOVE OUT OF THEIR HOLES LIKE WORMS OF THE EARTH: THEY SHALL BE AFRAID OF THE LORD OUR GOD, AND SHALL FEAR BECAUSE OF THEE." (Micah 7:17)
Inasmuch as these are figures of speech, we are not talking about a snake in the literal sense here. Satan impregnated Eve in the same way the fallen angels impregnated the daughters of Adam in Genesis chapter 6. Satan and those same angels will be cast out into the earth prior to the return of the True Christ, who warned us of it in Luke 17:26,27 as well as many other places. "AND I WILL PUT ENMITY BETWEEN THEE AND THE WOMAN, AND BETWEEN THY SEED AND HER SEED; IT SHALL BRUISE THY HEAD, AND THOU SHALT BRUISE HIS HEEL." (Genesis 3:15) Cain would be the first of Satan s seed line, "THEM WHICH SAY THEY ARE JEWS, AND ARE NOT, BUT ARE THE SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN" (Revelation 2:9) and the ones who said of Christ, "WE HAVE A LAW, AND BY OUR LAW HE OUGHT TO DIE, BECAUSE HE MADE HIMSELF THE SON OF GOD". (John 19:7) Here we have the Kenites, the seed of the serpent, causing Christ to be crucified, fulfilling the first prophecy of the Bible: "THOU SHALT BRUISE HIS HEEL". And, ultimately, Satan will be cast into the lake of fire, where Ezekiel 28:18,19 will come to pass. "UNTO THE WOMAN HE SAID, I WILL GREATLY MULTIPLY THY SORROW AND THY CONCEPTION; IN SORROW THOU SHALT BRING FORTH CHILDREN; AND THY DESIRE SHALL BE TO THY HUSBAND, AND HE SHALL RULE OVER THEE." (Genesis 3:16) Look up the word"conception" if you are still struggling with the reality of the situation. "AND TO ADAM HE SAID, BECAUSE THOU HAST HEARKENED UNTO THE VOICE OF THY WIFE, AND HAST EATEN OF THE TREE, OF WHICH I COMMANDED THEE, SAYING, THOU SHALT NOT EAT OF IT: CURSED IS THE GROUND FOR THY SAKE; IN SORROW SHALT THOU EAT OF IT ALL THE DAYS OF THY LIFE. THORNS AND THISTLES SHALL IT BRING FORTH TO THEE: AND THOU SHALT EAT OF THE HERB OF THE FIELD; IN THE SWEAT OF THY FACE SHALT THOU EAT BREAD, TILL THOU RETURN UNTO THE GROUND; FOR OUT OF IT WAST THOU TAKEN: FOR DUST THOU ART, AND UNTO DUST SHALT THOU RETURN." (Genesis 3:17-19) What was Adam's sin? He ate of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Blaming it on his wife did not work, just as you will not be able to blame anyone else if you are deceived by Satan when he appears as Antichrist.
"AND ADAM CALLED HIS WIFE S NAME EVE; BECAUSE SHE WAS THE MOTHER OF ALL LIVING" (Genesis 3:20) Again, God created all the other races on the sixth day, rested on the seventh day, then created Adam and then Eve by taking a "curve" from Adam (the helix curve of DNA, the word "rib" is an incorrect translation from the Hebrew manuscripts) and through Eve would eventually come Christ and, as it is written, "WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH ON HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE". It is only in this sense that Eve was the mother of all living. "UNTO ADAM ALSO AND TO HIS WIFE DID THE LORD GOD MAKE COATS OF SKINS, AND CLOTHED THEM. AND THE LORD GOD SAID, BEHOLD, THE MAN IS BECOME AS ONE OF US, TO KNOW GOOD AND EVIL: AND NOW, LEST HE PUT FORTH HIS HAND, AND TAKE ALSO OF THE TREE OF LIFE, AND EAT, AND LIVE FOREVER. THEREFORE THE LORD GOD SENT HIM FORTH FROM THE GARDEN OF EDEN, TO TILL THE GROUND FROM WHENCE HE WAS TAKEN. SO HE DROVE OUT THE MAN; AND HE PLACED AT THE EAST OF THE GARDEN OF EDEN CHERUBIMS, AND A FLAMING SWORD WHICH TURNED EVERY WAY, TO KEEP THE WAY TO THE TREE OF LIFE. (Genesis 3:21-24) The crucifixion had to first take place before man could inherit eternal life. 1 Peter 3:18-20 will clarify this and explain how God s salvation through Christ was made available to those who had not had the opportunity. God is always fair. Seeing as how Satan is the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and Jesus is called the tree of life, you can see a great deal of foreshadowing of what will take place in the near future. You can wait for the True Christ and partake of the tree of life, as it is written in Revelation 22:2, or, you can do as Adam and Eve did: don t listen to God, allow yourself to be beguiled by the serpent, eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and die. The choice is yours. Wait for the True Christ and know and understand that the False Christ, Satan himself, will appear at the Sixth Trumpet. The True Christ will not appear until the Seventh Trumpet. "FOR I AM JEALOUS OVER YOU WITH GODLY JEALOUSY: FOR I HAVE ESPOUSED YOU TO ONE HUSBAND, THAT I MAY PRESENT YOU AS A CHASTE VIRGIN TO CHRIST. BUT I FEAR, LEST BY ANY MEANS, AS THE SERPENT BEGUILED EVE THROUGH HIS SUBTILTY, SO YOUR MINDS SHOULD BE CORRUPTED FROM THE SIMPLICITY THAT IS IN CHRIST. FOR IF HE THAT COMETH PREACHETH ANOTHER JESUS, WHOM WE HAVE NOT PREACHED, OR IF YE RECEIVE ANOTHER SPIRIT, WHICH YE HAVE NOT RECEIVED, OR ANOTHER GOSPEL, WHICH YE HAVE NOT ACCEPTED, YE MIGHT WELL BEAR WITH HIM." (II Corinthians 11:2-4) The word "OVERCOMETH" appears eight times in the Book of Revelation. This requires action on your part. Standing against Satan and his system, while the rest of the world whores after him thinking he s Jesus Christ come to rapture them away or whatever lie he can use to deceive people into worshiping him instead of the True Christ. Those who don t have the seal of God in their forehead will think Satan is Jesus and turn in those who know better, thinking they re helping Jesus to convert unbelievers. This is when The Holy Spirit speaks through God s Elect.
"THESE THINGS HAVE I SPOKEN UNTO YOU, THAT YE SHOULD NOT BE OFFENDED. THEY SHALL PUT YOU OUT OF THE SYNAGOGUES: YEA, THE TIME COMETH THAT WHOSOEVER KILLETH YOU WILL THINK THAT HE DOETH GOD A SERVICE. AND THESE THINGS WILL THEY DO UNTO YOU, BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT KNOWN THE FATHER, NOR ME." (John 16:1-3) "THEN SHALL THEY DELIVER YOU UP TO BE AFFLICTED, AND SHALL KILL YOU: AND YE SHALL BE HATED OF ALL NATION S FOR MY NAME S SAKE. AND THEN SHALL MANY BE OFFENDED, AND SHALL BETRAY ONE ANOTHER, AND SHALL HATE ONE ANOTHER." (Matthew 24:9,10) "BUT WHEN THEY SHALL LEAD YOU, AND DELIVER YOU UP, TAKE NO THOUGHT BEFOREHAND WHAT YE SHALL SPEAK, NEITHER DO YE PREMEDITATE: BUT WHATSOEVER SHALL BE GIVEN YOU IN THAT HOUR, THAT SPEAK YE: FOR IT IS NOT YE THAT SPEAK, BUT THE HOLY GHOST. NOW THE BROTHER SHALL BETRAY THE BROTHER TO DEATH, AND THE FATHER THE SON; AND CHILDREN SHALL RISE UP AGAINST THEIR PARENTS, AND SHALL CAUSE THEM TO BE PUT TO DEATH. AND YE SHALL BE HATED OF ALL MEN FOR MY NAME S SAKE: BUT HE THAT SHALL ENDURE UNTO THE END, THE SAME SHALL BE SAVED." (Mark 13:11-13) "BUT BEFORE ALL THESE, THEY SHALL LAY THEIR HANDS ON YOU, AND PERSECUTE YOU, DELIVERING YOU UP TO THE SYNAGOGUES, AND INTO PRISONS, BEING BROUGHT BEFORE KINGS AND RULERS FOR MY NAME S SAKE. AND IT SHALL TURN TO YOU FOR A TESTIMONY. SETTLE IT THEREFORE IN YOUR HEARTS, NOT TO MEDITATE BEFORE WHAT YE SHALL ANSWER: FOR I WILL GIVE YOU A MOUTH AND WISDOM, WHICH ALL YOUR ADVERSARIES SHALL NOT BE ABLE TO GAINSAY NOR RESIST. AND YE SHALL BE BETRAYED BOTH BY PARENTS, AND BRETHREN, AND KINSFOLKS, AND FRIENDS; AND SOME OF YOU SHALL THEY CAUSE TO BE PUT TO DEATH. AND YE SHALL BE HATED OF ALL MEN FOR MY NAME S SAKE. BUT THERE SHALL NOT AN HAIR OF YOUR HEAD PERISH. IN YOUR PATIENCE POSSESS YE YOUR SOULS." (Luke 21:12-19) Why would your family and friends hand you over to Satan? Because they will think he is Jesus. foreknow: To have previous knowledge of: know beforehand esp. by paranormal means or by revelation. You will find in Revelation 7:3 and 9:4 that the Seal of God is in the forehead of God s servants. What is in your forehead? Your brain. In other words, the Seal of God is the foreknowledge of the events that take place just before the end. You will find these seven events in Mark 13, Matthew 24 and Luke 21 as well as Revelation 6 and 8:1. The Seven Seals are not listed in chronological order, but in order of importance. The Seal of God is the opposite of the Mark of The Beast which is received by those who are deceived by Satan when he appears claiming to be Jesus Christ. Why is it that those with the Seal of God cannot receive the Mark of The Beast? Because they know Satan will appear claiming to be Jesus Christ. It s that simple.
