Choose this day whom you will serve.” Joshua 24:15 A “choice” that defines the purpose for the Creation Narrative and Elohim’s eschatological will and His purposes for Time and Eternity…

Joshua’s utterance via the Holy Spirit is central to all things concerning the Genesis Narrative and the purposes surrounding Day-6 (the human genome); futhermore, Joshua’s utterance is central to the presence of Satan in Eden; the Adamic compromise with evil; the declaration of war between Elohim and Satan in Genesis 3:15; the introduction of a divine battle strategy known as “The Gospel” in Genesis 3:21 which was ordained “before Time began” (2 Timothy 1:8-10); the demonic compromise of the Adamic and Noahic generations and their judgment unto death via water save eight (Genesis 6:5); the necessity for Noah; Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Judah, Sinai-Moses, Messiah; the defeat of Satan’s works by Messiah at Golgotha (1 John 3:8b); the introduction of the New Covenant established in Messiah’s blood (Luke 22:20) and represented by Christianity; the subsequent rise of Islam and Islam’s false deity “Allah” who is Satan masquerading as an angel of light via the Arabic moon god (2 Corinthians 11:14); worldwide hatred and loathing for Jacob’s children; the re-establishment of the Israeli State in 1948 subsequent Satan’s attempt to completely annihilate Jacob’s children via the Holocaust; the advent of the “nuclear age;” the “progressive” fall of the United States via demonic compromise politically-ethically-morally; the rise of an unholy alliance between Russia-China-Iran/Islam as foretold by the prophets; the relocation of Israel’s Capital from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and Jerusalem as the obsessive focus of Satan’s allies; the rise in Worldwide antisemitism; the current unrest in the Middle East emboldened by nuclear threats; the coming Tribulation period which is 3.5-years of unfathomable nuclear conflict involving the entire World but primarily focused upon and targeting Jerusalem, Israel; Messiah’s 2nd-Advent to Mount Olivet with victory over Israel’s enemies; the establishment of the Millennial Kingdom; the final battle between good and evil initiated at the culmination of Messiah’s Millennial Reign in conjunction with Satan’s freedom from bondage; the Judgment of Satan; the Judgment of unfaithful humanity; the destruction of the Heavens and the Earth by fire; the presence of a New Earth and a New Heaven and the Holy City, the New Jerusalem; resurrected faithful humanity serving a resurrected Jesus as Messiah and King, forever.

Whom will you serve? The only relevant question in life…

Our existence upon this temporary Earth is due a spiritual war initiated by Satan in the Kingdom of Elohim and this Earth, this temporary Universe, were created in direct response to that Kingdom War; this temporary Earth is nothing more than a temporary “battle ground” as Elohim removed the destruction of war from His Kingdom and placed same here to be dealt with partially constrained by Time and physics; this, apart from the Kingdom where nothing impure is permitted to exist (Revelation 21:27).

Humanity plays an integral eschatological role in this spiritual war that rages around us and through us daily and the most relevant decision a man or woman will make in their life is “whom will you serve?” – will you freely choose to serve Elohim by faith in the Son, Jesus our Messiah (John 3:16) or will you choose to serve Satan (John 8:44) in rejection of Elohim’s plea to “choose life” in His Son (Deuteronomy 30:19)?

If you choose Jesus by faith (John 3), you will be victorious as Jesus is King and the battle is His in victory, eternally (Revelation 5:5) – or – you can choose servitude to Satan in rebellion to Elohim’s will for your life (John 6:29; 1 Timothy 2:4) and reap the sorrows of defeat and shame in Hell (Revelation 20:10-15). The choice is yours to make; therefore, “Choose this day whom you will serve.”

What is the meaning and purpose of LIFE?

This temporary life constrained by Time and physics is a temporary battle ground for an unfathomable war with its origin in the eternal Spiritual Realm and you and I are intricate players in that war between good v. evil. Our purpose here is as warriors who will choose to ally with our Creator or our Creator’s nemesis and our destiny is wholly contingent upon our alliances in the here and now. 

If you do not understand this reality, a spiritual reality clearly articulated within the Canon of Scripture, nihilism is the resultant, nihilism is pervasive and spiritual ignorance is death of the body, mind, soul. Our Creator has provided you with His battle strategy within the Canon of Scripture and Elohim has clearly articulated the who, what, where, when, why, how, concerning your origin and your purpose and your destiny; therefore, you are provided the opportunity to KNOW and LIVE ABUNDANTLY in that knowledge or deny and DIE IN FUTILITY; if you desire “meaning” and “purpose” in this temporary life you will find it in the Canon of Scripture and ultimately in a personal, intimate, relationship with your Creator who is Jesus our Messiah; otherwise, your tenure upon this temporary Earth will be of no account, an existence of wastefulness.

You are a spirit encapsulated, constrained, confined, within a decaying body of flesh and your spirit is created in the spiritual image of your Creator (Genesis 1:26-28) possessing certain divine attributes of our Creator; therefore, if you exist apart from your Creator through denial of His existence and sovereignty over your life, you will exist in nihilism, a subpar existence defined by an all encompassing sense of dissatisfaction with the status quo, you will question your raison d’etre and life will have no lasting purpose or joy. If you choose to honor your Creator, Jesus Christ, by faith and trust in Him as your Sovereign Lord, your life will be filled with purpose, hope, peace; therefore, choose wisely. Walk daily in Christian sanctification via obedience to the indwelling Holy Spirit; here, you will find peace (Galatians 5:16; Romans 5:1). This life is NOT about religion’s days and diets and rules and regulations or secularism’s sexual fulfillment and money and the acquisition of things; this life is about serving our Creator and honoring His will through faith, nothing more than an intimate; personal, relationship with the One who created you; herein is the answer and purpose of life within the Realm of Time.

Jesus said,

39 You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me,40 yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life.41 I do not receive glory from people.42 But I know that you do not have the love of God within you.43 I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not receive me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive him.44 How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God? John 5 (ESV)

Why did Elohim create Time, Matter, our complex genome?

A religious scoffer asked:

“So you are saying God was not capable of dealing with one rogue angel and that’s why he did the whole Jesus thing?”

Christian response,

Satan was Elohim’s anointed guardian cherub (Ezekiel 28:11+)…Satan served in the inner fold of Elohim’s administration. Satan’s charismatic gifts convinced one-third of the entire angelic realm to rebel against Elohim’s authority. This conundrum placed Elohim between a rock and hard place…so to speak. Destroy Satan and one-third of the angelic realm for their rebellion and destruction to the Kingdom and risk losing volitional intimacy with two-thirds of the faithful angelic creation, a faithful angelic majority who would respond to such a drastic measure with repulsion and possibly no longer love and honor Elohim as Creator but fear Him and serve, obey, out of compulsion which would have destroyed intimacy as love cannot be coerced or forced – OR – Elohim could provide a physical realm constrained by Time and physics, remove the spiritual rebellion and its participants from the Kingdom and place the destructive rebellion there, partially constrained by physics, and deal with the rebellion through a battle strategy that involves selfless love, grace, mercy and self-sacrifice by Elohim, Himself; this strategic tactic would consequently destroy the works of Satan, death-Hell-the grave, expose Satan’s folly and unsustainable behavior through selfless love; therefore, the previous 6000-years of spiritual and physical horror within the Realm of Time mirrors a spiritual war that manifest in the Kingdom before Time was created, a spiritual war that is waged around us and through us, daily (Ephesians 6).

Elohim chose victory through selfless love via a Gospel battle strategy that was ordained “before Time began” (2 Timothy 1:8-10) and this Gospel battle strategy is the primary reason Messiah Jesus, who is Elohim manifest in flesh, entered the Realm of Time; that is, “to destroy the works of the Devil” (1 John 3:8b) via selfless love first demonstrated in Eden (Genesis 3:21), a divine battle strategy that was ultimately fulfilled at Golgotha with the words “It is finished” (John 19:30).

The previous 6000-years of horror, death, destruction, within the Realm of Time, the suffering, disease, hopelessness; the future 1000-years of Millennial peace as Satan is confined and restrained from interacting with humanity; the war that manifests the moment Satan is released, the entire scenario is a bulwark, an example, to the faithful angelic creation demonstrating why Elohim’s plan is eternally superior to that of Satan’s narcissism and the scenario playing-out before our eyes will provide a bulwark against future rebellion in the Kingdom where free will remains extant by necessity.

Our entire creation in Time is nothing more than Elohim’s response to an unfathomable destructive rebellion having manifest in His Kingdom in the Eternal Realm.

Elohim’s battle strategy was first declared in Genesis 3:15, pictured in Genesis 3:21, fulfilled at Golgotha (John 19:30). Human kind is afforded the opportunity via free will to come along side Elohim via faith in our Warrior, Messiah Jesus, and attain victory over the Devil – OR – humanity can choose to honor Satan by rejecting Messiah Jesus. Those who honor the Father by faith in the Son will enjoy the spoils of victory; those who honor Satan through an alliance with him will suffer a fate similar to his subsequent Judgment (Revelation 20:10-15).
