Preface Welcome to the Supreme Court of Heaven. You will learn a lot in cases from the archives of this court. You will also learn from pending cases. To clearly understand cases of the court of God, please bear in mind the following things: 1. Cases take very long times in heaven: some even take many years according to earthly timing. 2. In most cases witnesses are on earth. 3. There may be more than one appeal for each case.
INTRODUCTION After the creation of the heavens and the earth, it was mandatory for God to establish a Supreme Court in heaven. This was because he had created beings both in heaven and on earth that have freewill. When their freewill would lead them against his will then he would need to use this court to judge them. This court of the living God is the only court in heaven: there is neither a higher court nor a lower court. There is the Supreme Court only. Why? Because there is only one judge, God himself; because sins are the same in the eyes of God: there is no small
sin to deserve a lower court, and there is no big sin to deserve a higher court. In his court, God judges his creation with his Word. This means that all that he speaks is law. Those who are in heaven and on earth have to live according to all that he ever said or face judgment. That is where the Bible fits in for those who are on earth. As you will see in the cases compiled in this volume, because of his perfect and just nature, God is able to preside as the Judge and the Defendant of the same case, or as the Judge and the Plaintiff of the same case, and be able to judge fairly. He is perfect such that he is able to pass a judgment against himself and also sentence himself! The
Cross is a result of that just character of God. In the beginning, God created evil in heaven so that even heavenly beings would have a choice to follow God or evil. If there was no evil at their disposal they would not have power to sin. This implies that even Satan was deceived by evil (Ezekiel 28: 15-16) just as Adam was deceived (Genesis 3: 1-7). But both had to be judged, because they had a choice to shun or embrace evil. On earth he planted the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Genesis 2: 9) for Adam to eat or avoid. Why would God trap his own creation?
He never wanted robots that would follow him due to not having a choice. Instead, he wanted children both in heaven and on earth who would love him with all of their hearts, minds, and bodies voluntarily. In heaven, when evil was found in Cherub Lucifer (Ezekiel 28: 15), the Supreme Court of God had to assemble for the first time, and Lucifer was judged and cast out of heaven. He was thrown to the earth. However, before he was cast out, he had been able to deceive a third of the angels of God (Revelation 12: 3-4). After they were judged, they were also cast out of heaven with him (Revelations 12: 7). On earth, when man got deceived, again the Supreme Court of Heaven had to assemble for judging man, woman,
and the serpent (see case 777-1000 of Volume 1). However, soon after Satan had discovered that it was possible for man to be saved from eternal destruction, he started making the Supreme Court of Heaven very busy. He accuses the saints in the court of the Lord, day and night (Revelations 12: 10). He files summonses against the saints of God in the Supreme Court without ceasing, for he knows he has very little time (Revelation 12: 12). It is for this reason that in almost all cases in heaven, Satan appears as the Plaintiff.
Procedure of the Supreme Court of Heaven The procedure of the court of the Lord is almost the same as that of the courts on earth. Even in heaven, a case starts when an Accuser (Plaintiff), institutes action against the Accused (Defendant). The Plaintiff prepares a summons through his attorneys. Then he files this summons with the court. At this point, it becomes the responsibility of the court to hand over the summons to the Sheriff, so that he could hand it over to the Defendant. The Defendant is then expected to defend himself through his attorneys by either responding to the summons or by defending himself in a court trial.
The only difference is that in the heavenly court there are only criminal cases. Civil cases are also treated as criminal cases. Why? Because, with God, it is one of two things: it s either you do what he says, or you don t. If you do what he says, you are safe (not guilty), but if you don t, you are guilty. There is no fine in the court of God: all sins are punishable by death. But if you repent whilst in flesh the death sentence is erased.

CASE ARGUED AND ADJUDGED IN THE SUPREME COURT OF HEAVEN ON THIS DAY. Case No. 777-1000. Argued on this day Decided on this day. Background In Heaven, God, the Defendant, was served by Satan with a summons through the Supreme Court Sheriffs. He accused God of lying about the goodness of his creation on earth. Case Soon after the Judge, God, had taken his seat, Satan, the Plaintiff, was asked to say his opening statement. Satan said that his case was about something wrong which God did during creation. He said that God erred when he considered his earthly creation to be good.
God, the Defendant, was also asked to say his opening statement. He said that God s creation on earth was perfect as God said. Satan was asked to prove his case. The Devil told the court that he would cross-examine man, the witness of God using a serpent. He asked the court to look at the earth. When they looked at the earth they saw the serpent talking to the woman. Did God really say, You must not eat from any tree in the garden? The woman said to the serpent, We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die. You will
not certainly die, the serpent said to the woman. For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil. When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves. (Genesis 3: 1-7) In the court, there was great tension as God was embarrassed by man on earth. Heavenly beings never believed what they beheld.
Very pleased by the results of the cross-examination, Satan talked with great confidence before he sat down, I hope my evidence has substantiated my claims. God, the Defendant, was asked to defend his position. Deeply disappointed, God the Defendant, decided to direct-examine his witness in Eden, Where are you (Adam)? I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; so I hid, he responded. Who told you that you are naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from? the Lord asked. The man said, The woman you put here with me; she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it. Then the Lord God said to the woman, What is this you have done? The woman said, The serpent
deceived me, and I ate (Genesis 3: 8-13). God, the Judge, gave Satan a chance to give his closing statement, but he had none. The Lord went on to give his judgment. He gave judgment to the Plaintiff. Satan won the case. However, he mentioned that that did not mean that God erred when he considered his creation to be perfect. But he gave man freewill to choose between good and evil, but man chose evil. He went on to sentencing the Defendant. To the first Respondent (God, the Defendant), he mentioned that according to the law (Hebrews 9: 22) man s blood is required for man s sin
to be forgiven. Then he gave him a death sentence: to hang on a tree until he dies. To the second Respondent (Man), he said, Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, You must not eat from it, Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life. It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field. By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return (Genesis 3: 17-19). To the third Respondent (Woman), he said, I will make your pains in childbearing very severe; with painful
labor you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you (Genesis 3: 16). To the fourth Respondent (Serpent), he said, Because you have done this, Cursed are you above all livestock and all wild animals. You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life. And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel (Genesis 3: 14-15). Then the court adjourned. After this case, all Seraphs, Elders, Spirits, Cherubs, Archangels and Angels were unhappy about the outcome, but anyway they praised and worshiped God as usual.
The Devil moved out of the court very happy as he went back to the earth. The entire kingdom of darkness celebrated frantically without stopping. Download Entire Book or visit: http://supremecourtofheaven.com/
