The Who, What, Where, When, Why, How, concerning the Biblical Creation Narrative…

Uncategorized, , , , , ,
Biblical Cliffs Notes – The who, what, where, when, why, how, relevant to what the Holy Spirit has provided mankind in the Canon of Scripture…

1) The ONLY reason for the Genesis Creation Narrative is Elohim’s response to an unfathomable angelic rebellion in the Kingdom of Elohim.

2) Elohim’s sovereign decision to deal with the Great Kingdom War was to commission the Son, Jesus Christ (John 3:35), to take elements from the unseen Spiritual Realm and fashion those elements into matter that can be apprehended by a life-form constrained by Time and physics (Hebrews 11:3; Genesis 1:1; John 1; Hebrews 1; Colossians 1).

3) Elohim, the Father, Son, Spirit, collaborated on Day-6 of the Genesis Narrative to create the complex human genome in their spiritual image; this, for eschatological purposes going forward.

4) Subsequent Day-6 of the Creation Narrative, the rebellious participants in the Great Kingdom War were extricated from the Kingdom and placed upon this Earth (Luke 10:18) as the Kingdom War is now partially constrained by Time and physics, the leader of that rebellion placed in Eden, his physical attributes described for us through the prophet Ezekiel in Chapter 28:11+ and his spiritual attributes analogized as a crafty serpent (Genesis 3:1; Revelation 12:9; John 8:44).

5) Elohim, the Father, made the sovereign choice to ordained the Son, Jesus Christ our Messiah, as Warrior King who would do battle with the Serpent and a Declaration of War was established in Genesis 3:15 as the Messiah would enter Time through the virgin seed in order to circumvent the curse of the sin-nature passed through Adam’s genome (Romans 5:12) and the Messiah would be victorious over the Serpent by crushing the head of the Serpent but Messiah’s victory would not be without injurious ramifications i.e. the Crucifixion e.g., a bruising of Messiah’s heal (1 John 3:8b).

6) Elohim, in Genesis 3:21, provides a word picture of the divine “battle strategy” (the Gospel of Jesus Christ) that would be employed by Elohim, Himself, through the shedding of innocent blood in order to clothe sinful humanity in an imputed robe of righteousness (2 Corinthians 5:21) while rejecting the works, efforts, self-righteousness, of humanity to conceal his own sin (fig leaves).

7) From Genesis 3:21 forward, the entirety of Scripture, the Holy Spirit’s work through forty anointed men of old, is focused upon Elohim’s eschatological plan to destroy the works of the devil via selfless love; this victory accomplished by Messiah at Golgotha with the words “It is finished.”

8 ) From the Gospel of John 19:30 forward, the Holy Spirit details the purposes for the Great Commission; the New Covenant Church; the reasoning for the Time of the Great Tribulation; the purpose for the Millennial Kingdom; the necessity for the Judgment of the Devil and his angels; the necessity for the Judgment of the Condemned involving humanity; the destruction of this Earth and the Heavens – their purification by fire and the creation of a New Heaven and a New Earth and the placement of the New Jerusalem where the resurrected redeemed in Messiah Jesus will serve King Jesus, forever, in resurrected bodies fashioned after Messiah’s resurrected body (Philippians 3:21).

9) In summation, the previous 6000-years of demonically motivated horror upon this temporary Earth; the 1000-years of peace during Messiah’s Millennial Kingdom, will act as bulwark against future rebellion in the Kingdom where free will remains extant by necessity.

10) Therefore, the entirety of Scripture, the primary purpose for the existence of Time, physics, humanity, is as a response to the Great Kingdom War, this Earth as a temporary repository for a demonically led rebellion in the Kingdom of Elohim where nothing impure is permitted to enter (Revelation 21:27); this, as Elohim is currently reestablishing order, holiness, peace, to His Kingdom ravaged by the covetous desires of a charismatic rebellious cherub angel known to humankind as the Devil, Satan, the Serpent, the Evil One; this, as Elohim endeavors to maintain intimacy and volitional relationship with His faithful, beautiful, angelic creation that He loves, cherishes and adores beyond human comprehension.

Finally, by faith in Messiah Jesus as King, humankind has been granted the opportunity to ally with Elohim in the Great Kingdom War, a spiritual war that rages around us, through us (Ephesians 6); those who trust in Messiah Jesus as Lord and Savior will live eternally with Elohim in the New Jerusalem (John 14:3).

Israel v. Iran (Hamas); Prophetic Eden; Current Events foretold…

Liberal Ideology, Religion - Christianity, , , , , , , ,
What is the purpose of Eden? How has prophetic Eden manifest itself in current events?

The primary focus of Eden is articulated in Genesis 3:15 and 3:21; both of these pivotal Scriptures articulate the Kingdom War that has been translated into the physical realm and partially constrained by Time and physics (Revelation 12; Luke 10:18).

Genesis 3:15 introduces the primary warriors of the Kingdom War as Messiah and Satan while Genesis 3:21 identifies the divine “battle strategy” to be employed by Messiah “to destroy the works of the devil” (1 John 3:8b) which is the Gospel that was ordained “before Time began” (2 Timothy 1:8-10).

All of Scripture subsequent Genesis 3:15; 3:21 are supportive and eschatological in nature as the Holy Spirit methodically explains Elohim’s efforts to destroy Satan’s works e.g., death-Hell-the grave through selfless love demonstrated by Messiah at Golgotha and concluded with the divine words of victory, “It is finished” (John 19:30).

The root of Elohim’s objective is the restoration of order, holiness, peace, to His Kingdom and destroying the works of the Devil while simultaneously maintaining volitional love, intimacy, relationship, with His faithful angelic creation; the beautiful angelic creation that Elohim loves and cherishes beyond human comprehension.

Genesis 3:15 explains that Messiah will enter the Realm of Time via the virgin seed in order to circumvent the sin-nature passed through Adam’s genome (Romans 5:12) and that Messiah would be victorious over Satan as crushing Satan’s head in battle while Satan would bruise Messiah’s heal. Genesis 3:21 pictures the battle strategy of the Gospel as Elohim, Himself, would shed innocent blood and clothe humanity in an imputed robe of righteousness while denying mankind’s vain attempts to cover his own sin and shame via the works of his hands as represented by fig leaves (2 Corinthians 5:21; 1 Peter 1:18-19; Ephesians 2:8-9).

Genesis 3:15; 3:21 in the Physical Realm today,

Though Satan’s works were destroyed by Messiah at Golgotha via the Gospel, the Kingdom War continues within both the Spiritual Realm and the Physical Realm as Elohim methodically brings all things to a foreordained eschatological conclusion while Elohim separates the wheat from the chaff, the sheep from the goats relevant to those who will serve Him in the New Jerusalem (Matthew 3:12; Matthew 25:32-46).

Satan’s most recent onslaught against Elohim and His Messiah finds its genesis in the adulterous relationship between Abraham and Hagar producing the “wild ass” of man named Ishmael (Genesis 16:12); Ishmael is the father of the Ishmaelites, a virulent enemy of Israel’s children as the Ishmaelites are the progenitors of a 7th-Century demon-possessed, murdering, thieving, pedophile, named Muhammad who plagiarized Israel’s Torah to produce the Quran.

Muhammad is the progenitor of the Islamic Caliphate who has murdered, butchered, enslaved, untold numbers of Israel’s children and Christians in the Name of the Muslim-Arabic-Islamic god, Allah. Islam’s Allah is Satan masquerading as an “angel of light” via the Arabic moon god (2 Corinthians 11:14).

The Kingdom War continues to this very day and its most recent iteration is the 2nd-Jewish Holocaust carried out by representatives of Islam’s Allah against the citizens of Israel on October 7th, 2023. Allah’s objective continues to be the annihilation of the Land of Israel given Abraham, Issac, Jacob (Israel) by Elohim via an unconditional covenant (Genesis 13:14-17).

Allah’s objective is to annihilate the children of Jacob from the face of the Earth and thereby nullify the covenant promises of Elohim concerning the Land of Israel and the Jewish “remnant” that Elohim has promised to redeem in the midst of the Great Tribulation, a horrific nuclear conflict involving Russia-China-Iran/Islam v. Jerusalem, Israel that prefaces Messiah’s Millennial Kingdom; this, an effort by Islam’s Allah to make Elohim a liar and thereby denounce Elohim as the One true God and Satan’s attempts to proclaim himself as “god.”

The ever-expanding war between Israel and “Hamas/Iran,” the Antisemitism that has manifest itself around the World, these find their genesis in the Spiritual Realm, the demonic, and know that that those who advocate for Islamic terrorism while denouncing Israel’s right to exist in peace as a sovereign State, these represent a confluence of spiritual and Biblical ignorance and demonic deception; therefore, know your enemy, be alert and aware and prepared (1 Peter 5:8).

Physical Realm v. Spiritual Realm

Physical Realm v. Spiritual Realm

The only entity preventing the spirit of man from transitioning into the Spiritual-Eternal Realm is this decaying flesh that imprisons the spirit and constrains it by Time and physics. Our spiritual “home” is but a breath away, it surrounds us, permeates us, defines us; we are not home in this temporary body of decay. This temporary Earth, constrained by Time and physics, is NOT our home (Hebrews 13:14-15).

Heaven, the eternal abode of our Creator, is not some distant ethereal plane above us in the heavens or above the stratosphere but the Spiritual Realm inundates us, provides momentary glimpses through unexplained sensory phenomena; those who are born again by faith in Messiah long for it, feel it calling, sense its presence and as such our Lord is not far from each one of us as He indwells us through the Holy Spirit; this truth is comforting via the assurance, the knowledge, that His spiritual, intimate, presence is but one exhalation away (1 John 3:2; John 11:25-26; 2 Corinthians 5:8).

The eternal necessity for Biblical volition, “Free Will”…

The eternal necessity for Biblical volition, “free will”…

Free will, volition, is a divine communicable attribute infused within the human genome by Elohim on Day-6 as human kind is created in the spiritual image of Elohim, free will being essential for eschatological purposes (Genesis 1:26-28). Free will, volition, is a consistent theme in Scripture and absolutely essential for love and intimacy to exist between humanity and our Creator, the angels and their Creator. Biblical “faith,” another central theme throughout Scripture, is rooted in volition, a free will choice.

Unless one possesses the volition, free will, to “choose” to love or hate, love cannot exist nor can intimacy, as love and intimacy and true reciprocal, pleasing, gratifying, relationship to exist with purity and authenticity, the parties involved must possess the volition, the free will, to choose; otherwise, nihilism is the resultant and everything under the Sun is impotent and worthless and “chasing after the wind.” True love cannot be coerced or exist in an atmosphere of fear.

In order for divine justice/jurisprudence to exist with fairness, equality, order, due process, the party, the individual, subject to divine moral scrutiny must first be knowledgeable of the law that defines what is immoral and then mens rea or the “thought life” must be present; that is, did the individual, with aforethought and intent, violate the law; therefore, volition, free will, is at the very heart of divine jurisprudence (Romans 4:15; 5:13).

Our Creator is defined as “LOVE” (1 John 4:7) and this divine love can only exist in volitional relationships where the created “chooses” to love our Creator by faith. Our Creator does not pick winners and losers but allows every man and woman the free will to choose life or death; this divine volition defines the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the volition, free will, to choose Jesus as Messiah or to choose one’s own narcissism and self-righteousness as their god.

Finally, void free will, why Jesus? Calvin’s doctrine of predestination is a doctrine of demons (1 Timothy 2:4).

Confusion surrounding the “Spiritual Law” in the New Covenant that is eternally superior to Torah Law…

Confusion surrounding the “Spiritual Law” in the New Covenant that is eternally superior to Torah Law…

The spiritual law emanates from the Spiritual Realm as it was relevant subsequent the creation of the angels as an arbiter of free will.

That same spiritual law was infused within the human genome on Day-6 as human kind is created in the spiritual image of Elohim thereby possessing certain divine communicable attributes of Elohim; one such attribute being the divine spiritual law given humanity as a bulwark against unrestrained narcissism that would have inevitably lead to societal extinction (Romans 2:14-15; Romans 8:2; Jeremiah 31:33; Hebrews 10:16).

That same spiritual law judged both the Adamic-Noahic generations of demonic defilement where all but eight perished in judgement via water.

That same spiritual law was foundational to the codification of the Code of Hammurabi and Sinai; both, a fragmented, segmented, rendering of the comprehensive spiritual law.

That same spiritual law is employed by the Holy Spirit in the New Covenant who enlivens same and makes that law applicable to sanctification for the redeemed in Jesus concerning divine obedience via the production of fruit (Galatians 5; Romans 2:14-15; Romans 8:2; Jeremiah 31:33; Hebrews 10:16).

That same spiritual law will be employed by Messiah at the Judgment of the Condemned subsequent Messiah’s Millennial Kingdom to judge/adjudicate the rebellious relevant to sin before sentencing in Hell/the “second death” (Revelation 20:11-15). That same spiritual law will be relevant throughout Eternity as free will exists in the New Jerusalem by necessity.

Finally, Torah Law (Sinai – Moses’ civil edicts) was specifically given to Israel’s children and sojourners with them; this, for sanctification and eschatological purposes. Torah Law is but a mere fragment of the comprehensive spiritual law and Torah Law was simply a roadmap for Israel children to point them to their need for Messiah by faith (Galatians 3:24); therefore, Torah was NEVER the destination, Jesus as Messiah is the Destination relevant to all Scripture.

Confusion concerning obedience: Old Law Covenant v. New Covenant of Grace…

Confusion concerning obedience: Old Law Covenant v. New Covenant of Grace…

The Old Covenant Law is not “done away with” – abolished but was fulfilled by Messiah with perfection in obedience (Matthew 5:17). In the New Covenant, Sinai-Moses is addressed by the eternal “spiritual law” written upon the human heart (Romans 2:14-15; Romans 8:2) and arbitrated in the life of the faithful in Jesus via a redeemed conscience (2 Corinthians 5:17); therefore, the redeemed in Jesus don’t chase after letters or covenants or days or diets or traditions or Sinai or Moses, those things given Israel’s children by covenant, but a Christian’s relationship with Elohim is based on grace through faith and their daily walk in sanctification is guided by the indwelling Holy Spirit who produces fruits of righteousness through the redeemed, fruit against which there is no law; in this, the Father is glorified as the Spirit prepares the faithful in Jesus for service in the New Jerusalem. This intimate, personal, obedient, Christian lifestyle was not possible through the failed Law Covenant (Hebrews 8:7).

The Christian does not live their daily life thinking about Torah or Israel’s covenants or Moses but the Christian walks in peace with the Father through faith in the Son and enjoys intimacy via the indwelling Holy Spirit who methodically guides the Christian, daily, in the Father’s will and the Spirit addresses every moral, ethical, decision encountered by the Christian and urges said Christian toward righteousness…this is something the Law Covenant and Torah could never accomplish as the written code provided at Sinai and the 603-civil laws scratched upon parchment provided by Moses demanded absolute perfection (James 2:10) from the old-nature (Romans 5:12), a sin-nature that could never comply; therefore, Sinai – Moses’ civil laws “cursed” anyone seeking righteousness with the Father through vain attempts to keep them as mandated (Galatians 3:10); therefore, the New Covenant is radically different…the spiritual law written upon the heart is enlivened by the indwelling Spirit and made applicable to daily life through the Spirit’s anointing; therefore, the New Covenant Christian does not chase letters, rules, regulations, days, diets, but the faithful Christian walks by the Spirit’s leadership (Galatians 5:16) and the fruit produced by the Spirit through the redeemed fulfills all mandates concerning obedience; Jesus said, “You will know them by their fruit” (Matthew 7:15-20); in this, there is peace with the Father (Romans 5:1).

The Gospel’s superiority concerning “obedience” compared to Judaism-Islam

Religion - Christianity, , , , , ,
The Gospel of Jesus – Christianity provides an infinitely superior form of obedience than the religions of Judaism (Torah) or Islam (Quran)…

Religionists/legalists suggest that Christianity apart from Torah Law is lawlessness; actually, Christianity is the antithesis of lawlessness; in fact, Christianity is an infinitely more successful law abiding faith than the religions of works and self-righteousness exemplified by Judaism, Catholicism and Islam.

Christianity approaches and attains a greater degree of obedience; first, through faith in Jesus as Messiah which establishes New Covenant relationship with Elohim and second, obedience to the indwelling Holy Spirit via a redeemed conscience (2 Corinthians 5:17) and the spiritual law written upon the heart as opposed to a written code demanding perfection from an unredeemed sin-nature that could never adequately comply (Romans 8:1-9; James 2:10; Galatians 3:10).

Where the religionist-legalist errs is NOT understanding the divine work of the indwelling Holy Spirit in the New Covenant who is gifted the redeemed subsequent faith in Jesus (Ephesians 1:13-14) and the redeemed, born again, nature of man (2 Corinthians 5:17) subsequent the imputation of Messiah’s righteousness through faith (2 Corinthians 5:21); this catalyst of the redeemed conscience anointed by the indwelling Holy Spirit creating a vastly superior form of divine obedience as compared to the antiquated, failed, Covenant of Law (Hebrews 8:7) that demands perfection in obedience (James 2:10) from the old rebellious sin-nature (Romans 5:12) which ultimately resulted in the individual living under a curse due self-righteousness apart from faith in the Righteous One (Galatians 3:10; Romans 9:30-33); therefore, anyone who seeks righteousness (a right standing) with Elohim via Judaism, the works cult of Catholicism, the demonically rooted cult of Islam, these destine themselves to death in Hell having rejected the only Path to life, Jesus Christ as Messiah by faith, alone (John 14:6).

The daily life of the Christian v. Judaism/Islam/religion…

Religion - Christianity, , , , , ,
The daily life of the Christian v. Judaism v. Islam/religion…

No one is justified by the Law (Romans 3:20) and the Christian is NOT under Law but under grace through faith in Jesus (Roman 6:14); therefore, the Christian goes about their daily life NOT in enslavement to laws, rules, days, diets (Romans 7:6) but they walk in freedom and obedience to the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:16) and the Spirit employs the spiritual law written upon the heart (Romans 2:14-15) in combination with the redeemed conscience (2 Corinthians 5:17) to produce fruit and this fruit fulfills all law (Galatians 5).

Jesus said “You will know them by their fruit” (Matthew 7:15-20)…when Jesus mentioned “commandments” He was speaking to an audience under the Law as the New Covenant had not yet been enacted in His blood at Golgotha…it was a transitory period…Christianity is NOT about commandment keeping but about faith, grace, peace with the Father and walking in the Spirit, daily, producing fruits of righteousness that validates that saving faith as authentic; in this, there is eternal peace with Elohim (Romans 5:1).

30 What shall we say, then That Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness have attained it, that is, a righteousness that is by faith; 31 but that Israel who pursued a law that would lead to righteousness did not succeed in reaching that law. 32 Why Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as if it were based on works. They have stumbled over the stumbling stone, 33 as it is.

Torah Law v. New Covenant “Spiritual Law” & raison d’etre?

Religion - Christianity, , , , ,
Torah Law v. New Covenant “Spiritual Law” & raison d’etre?

Torah’s sole raison d’etre or “reason for being” is Yeshua. The Pentateuch, the Historical Books, the Prophets, are all a roadmap, a path, to a specific eschatological destination and that Destination is Yeshua, our Divine Warrior prophesied to enter the Ream of Time via the virgin seed (ovum) (Genesis 3:15) for the primary reason of engaging in battle “to destroy the works of the devil” (1 John 3:8b) via a divine battle strategy revealed as “The Gospel of Grace,” a divine battle strategy ordained “before Time began” (2 Timothy 1:8-10); therefore, it is theologically accurate to conclude that Torah was simply an eschatological roadmap but was never intended to be the destination as Yeshua is the Destination concerning everything eschatological, redemptive, eternal (Matthew 5:17; John 5:39; John 5:46; Luke 24:44).

Torah Law is nothing new or novel but simply a fragmented codification of the “law of the Spirit of life” (Romans 8:2; Romans 2:14-15); Torah Law given specifically to Jacob’s children and sojourners seeking refuge in that theocracy; Torah Law, Elohim’s document of sanctification, instructions for a setting apart of Jacob’s children, etched in stone, scratched upon parchment via Moses in an effort to prevent a repeat, the catastrophic eschatological failures involving the Adamic and Noahic generations who had morally and ethically compromised with demonic paganism; defilement worthy of societal extinction by water save eight; two-generations of human kind having become sexually, morally, ethically, defiled to a point of complete impotency concerning Elohim’s eschatological plan relevant to the introduction of His Messiah.

Elohim’s eternal law,

Elohim’s eternal law, the “law of the Spirit of life” was infused within the human genome on Day-6 as human kind was uniquely created in the spiritual image of Elohim (Genesis 1:26-28) and thereby possesses certain divine communicable attributes of Elohim with the spiritual law being but one of those divine attributes; this, for eschatological purposes going forward; namely, the sustainability of human kind; the “law of the Spirit of life” given as a bulwark against societal implosion via unrestrained narcissism. Torah Law, introduced thousands of years later, was never intended as the destination but a roadmap to that destination; specifically, Yeshua.

The eternal law & the New Covenant,

Torah Law is not Elohim’s chosen arbiter of free will or covenant relationship but the “law of the Spirit of life” is the chosen divine legal – spiritual bulwark that differentiates Light from darkness, good from evil, life from death. The “law of the Spirit of life,” written upon the human heart at conception in the womb, is the law employed by the indwelling Holy Spirit in the New Covenant (Ezekiel 36:26; Jeremiah 31:33; Hebrews 8:10) in combination with the redeemed conscience of the faithful in Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:17) to produce “fruits of righteousness” against which there is no law as the fruit produced by the Holy Spirit through the redeemed in Jesus by faith fulfills all law, all commandments, those etched in stone, scratched upon parchment, written upon the human heart; therefore, the “law of the Spirit of life” is eternally superior to the fragmented, incomplete, Torah Law as the “law of the Spirit of life” will endure throughout Eternity as free will exists in the New Jerusalem by necessity.

Finally,

The Christian does not pursue laws etched in stone or scratched upon parchment (Romans 7:6), the remnants of a bygone Covenant that defined sin but provided no form of atonement and lasting peace with Elohim (Romans 3:20); therefore, Christians walk daily in sanctification through obedience to the indwelling Holy Spirit and “law of the Spirit of life” written upon their heart where their walk is pleasing to the Father through the production of righteous fruit which fosters intimacy and peace with the Father, eternally (Galatians 5:16; Romans 5:1).

How can one claim to be a Christian and not follow the Law?

Religion - Christianity, , , ,
Question was asked: “How can one claim to be a Christian if they don’t obey the Law? Their religion is useless.”

If you’ve been redeemed by faith in Jesus (John 3) you have received the indwelling Holy Spirit as Guarantor of that New Covenant relationship with the Father (Ephesians 1:13-14) and it is the indwelling Spirit that employs the redeemed conscience of the faithful (2 Corinthians 5:17) and combines that redeemed conscience with the spiritual law written upon the heart (Romans 2:14-15; Romans 8:2) and the Spirit then produces fruits of righteousness (Galatians 5) through the redeemed believer and this fruit fulfills all law; in fact, there are no laws against the “fruit of the Spirit.” Jesus said “You will know them by their fruit” (Matthew 7:15-20).

If one desires to live a life that is pleasing to the Father, they must first comply with the Father’s will by faith in Jesus as their Messiah (John 6:29) and live by the Spirit, daily, as the Holy Spirit methodically and patiently prepares them for service in the New Jerusalem (Galatians 5:16).

Law is relevant in the New Covenant but that law is not etched in stone or scratched upon parchment but the Christian lives by the “law of the Spirit of life” and NOT “the law of sin and death” (Romans 8:2).
