Does the Universe have a purpose? Yes!

The Universe, specifically, this Earth, was created as a temporary repository for the Great Kingdom War initiated by a rebellious, covetous, anointed cherub angel (Luke 10:18; Revelation 12:3-9).

Elohim the Father initiated the creation narrative and delegated authority to Elohim the Son as Creator (Genesis 1; John 1; Hebrews 1; Colossians 1; John 3:35) who took elements from the unseen Spiritual Realm and fashioned those elements into matter, atoms, that can be apprehended by a life-form subject to Time and physics (Hebrews 11:3). It is also interesting to note that Elohim the Holy Spirit is first introduced as the Logistical Overseer of the Creation Narrative in Genesis 1:2.

This is but one reason why Satan, an anointed cherub angel (Ezekiel 28:11-15), is the first creature introduced subsequent Elohim forming Adam from the dust of the ground and Eve from the rib of Adam. This is why a formal declaration of war is proclaimed by Elohim in Genesis 3:15, a war that would involve Satan and an anointed One who would enter Time through the seed of the woman and do battle with Satan, Jesus our Messiah.

Immediately following this proclamation of war in Genesis 3:15, Elohim pictures His battle strategy, the Gospel, by which He would destroy the works of Satan (death-Hell-the grave); the Gospel is first pictured for human kind in Genesis 3:21 with the shedding of innocent blood by Elohim, Himself, to cover Adam and Eve in a gifted, imputed, robe of righteousness (2 Corinthians 5:21) while Elohim rejected Adam’s self-righteous attempt to cover and conceal his sin with fig leaves of human righteousness (Ephesians 2:8-9); in fact, the primary reason the Son of God, Jesus our Messiah, entered Time was “to destroy the works of Satan” (1 John 3:8b). Jesus fulfilled the prophecy in Genesis 3:15 via the battle strategy pictured in Genesis 3:21 some 4000 years later on a Roman Cross outside of Jerusalem on a mount called “Golgotha.” Jesus, born of the seed of the woman (Not Adam’s seed via Joseph) destroyed the works of Satan via His own shed blood as atonement for sin (Matthew 26:28; 1 Peter 1:18-19) which harkens back to Genesis 3:21 and a Gospel that was ordained “before Time began” (2 Timothy 1:8-9).

The entire purpose for this temporary Universe and specifically this temporary Earth and our complex genome is as participants and as a temporary physical repository for an unfathomable Spiritual War that rages on around us, through us, as we choose to be a warrior for Jesus by faith or a warrior for Satan via submission to the lust of the flesh.

Long story short…we’re in an unfathomable spiritual war, we are warriors for one of two parties, Jesus or Satan. This IS the “purpose” for the Universe, a temporary physical repository for war as Elohim restores order, peace, holiness, to His eternal Kingdom, a Holy Kingdom disrupted by a rebellion, a mutiny, initiated by an anointed cherub before Time began.
