Why did Elohim create the Heavens and the Earth? A brief explanation…

Why did Elohim create the Heavens and the Earth?

When students of Scripture and history reflect upon the wars and death and suffering and calamity that manifests throughout the Torah and subsequently to this very day, they wonder why a loving and compassionate Creator would permit such chaos. What most do NOT understand is the causation and purposes under girding our creation and this temporary Realm of Time constrained by physics.

You and I are in this cosmic vacuum due to an unfathomable war that was initiated in the Kingdom of Elohim before Time was created and all that we perceive with our senses and beyond is the resultant of that war and Elohim’s endeavor to restore order and peace to His Kingdom while simultaneously maintaining volitional love with His angelic creation; an angelic creation that Elohim loves and cherishes beyond human comprehension.

It is critical to understanding causation for the creation narrative that the previous 6000-years of horror are a bulwark against future rebellion in the Kingdom where free will exists by necessity; this, as Elohim is allowing the evil introduced by a rebellious anointed cherub angel to play-out within the constraints of Time and physics for all to see and the conclusion of the matter will be that obedience and loyalty to Elohim and His sovereignty is the only sustainable path to a life (both spiritual and physical) worth living and that rebellion, selfishness, covetousness, self-righteousness, are unsustainable pathways to horror, sorrow, death, nihilism.

All that we confront with our senses in this temporary life within a temporary World and Heaven is an eschatological bulwark against future rebellion in the Kingdom where free will remains extant by necessity concerning intimacy with Elohim. The primary reason Messiah Jesus entered the Realm of Time was to defeat, destroy, the works of that rebellious anointed cherub and the one-third of the angelic creation that followed him in the Great Kingdom War (1 John 3:8b); this, with the precarious strategy of maintaining volitional love with His cherished angelic creation.

_____________________________________

Elohim explains causation, reasoning, for the creation narrative from the Genesis to the Revelation; in fact, we see the introduction of the major players, the war, the battle strategy, introduced within the first-three chapters of the Genesis narrative.

— In Genesis 1:1, “Elohim” introduces Himself via a plural noun with a singular verb.

— In Genesis 1:2, The Holy Spirit introduces Himself as the Logistical Overseer of all things created.

— In Genesis 1:26-28, we see the collaboration of Elohim as “Us” and “Our” – Father-Son-Spirit creating the complex human genome in the spiritual image of Elohim thereby imparting certain divine communicable attributes into the human genome specifically for Elohim’s eschatological purposes going forward.

— In Genesis 3, we’re introduced to the rebellious cherub angel that initiated the Kingdom War and that angel has been extricated from the Kingdom and placed partially within the constraints of Time and physics and allowed access to human kind (Ezekiel 28:11+); this, as Jesus tells us that He watched Satan fall from Heaven like lightening (Luke 10:18).

— In Genesis 3:15, we see the declaration of war between Satan and Jesus (Jesus, born of the virgin seed of the woman to circumvent the Adamic sin-nature) and the prophecy that Messiah would be victorious over Satan as crushing the head of Satan but that Jesus would not be unscathed but receive a “bruised heal”…a death suffered on the Cross.

— In Genesis 3:21, we see the divine battle strategy, the Gospel, that Elohim would employ to defeat the works of the Devil (death-Hell-the grave) through the imputation of righteousness, a gifting of righteousness that Elohim, Himself, would provide via the shedding of innocent blood to clothe sinful humanity in an imputed “robe of righteousness” that mankind could not earn, did not deserve; this, as Elohim rejected the works of mankind to cover his own sin and shame by the works of his hands exemplified by the “fig leaves” Adam used to cover his own shame and nakedness. This is the Gospel of Jesus Christ which was ordained “before Time began” (2 Timothy 1:8-10).

Conclusion,

From the Genesis forward, we see Elohim’s eschatological plan working through and around human kind’s free will choices; this, through the Adamic and Noahic generations, through Noah, Shem, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Judah, Messiah…this eschatological plan can be followed through the Scriptures as the Holy Spirit methodically explains the who, what, where, when, why, how, concerning the Realm of Time, our purpose within it, and the closure of Time and physics, the New Heaven and the New Earth, the New Jerusalem. All one must do is possess a heart that is willing to receive and believe and seek and study via our Divine Teacher, the precious indwelling Holy Spirit given to all who “believe” Jesus is Messiah (Ephesians 1:13-14; 1 John 2:27).

Why is Jesus the only WAY to the Father and Eternal Life? (John 14:6) – Why did Elohim create?

Religion - Christianity, , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,
Why is Jesus the only Way to the Father and eternal life? (John 14:6)

Jesus is the only Way to the Father because this Path to eternal life for humanity, the defeat of Satan, the restoration of order and holiness to the Kingdom, the maintenance of volitional love between the Father and the faithful angelic creation, was ordained “before Time began” via a Gospel, a divine battle strategy (2 Timothy 1:8-10; Genesis 3:21); this, as Jesus entered the Realm of Time “to destroy the works of the Devil” (1 John 3:8b; Genesis 3:15) which is the eschatological foundation for the creation of Time and physics, this temporary Earth, as a repository for a Kingdom War that was removed from the Kingdom and placed partially within the constraints of Time and physics as were the participants of that war (Luke 10:18; Rev. 12); this, while Messiah Jesus is the KEY to victory over death, Hell, the grave and Satan in this Spiritual War.

This spiritual strategic battle strategy is the Father’s will as the Father endeavors to maintain volitional love with His faithful angelic creation while dealing with a rebellious charismatic cherub angel and one-third of the angelic creation that allied with the Evil One (Ezekiel 28:11+); this is why Jesus has been given all authority over all things spiritual and physical and all things relevant to the defeat of Satan have been placed in Jesus’ hands as Creator, Warrior, Messiah, Judge (John 3:35; Matthew 28:18) and this is why Jesus is the ONLY Way to the Father because the Father’s eschatological will has ordained same…period!

Jesus is the KEY figure in Heaven and on Earth as Creator, Warrior, Messiah, Judge, King over the Millennial Kingdom and LORD over the New Jerusalem. Without Jesus as your Intercessor between you and the Father, you will die in Hell and NOT be permitted to enter the Kingdom because your alliance with Satan via your unbelief, rejection of Jesus as Messiah for the forgiveness of sin, will NOT be tolerated in the Kingdom once order and holiness has been fully resorted/restored; this, as “NOTHING IMPURE” will enter the Kingdom (Rev. 21:7); therefore, the imputed-gifted righteousness of Jesus over your life by faith in Him in exchange for your sin-debt owed the Father is absolutely MANDATED and critically NECESSARY if you desire eternal life in the New Jerusalem (2 Corinthians 5:21; John 3; Acts 4:12).

For all intents and purposes, you are a byproduct, a divinely ordained pawn, in a Kingdom War that rages around us and through us as human beings (Ephesians 6); therefore, it is critically important relevant to whom you serve during your brief existence within the temporary Realm of Time; Satan or Elohim…the free will choice is yours to make (Joshua 24:14-15).

What is the Gospel? Why the Gospel?

What is the Gospel of Jesus Christ? Why the Gospel of Jesus Christ?

The Gospel or the “Good News,” its purpose and intent is provided us in Genesis 1-3; John 3; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Ephesians 2:8-9.

For brevity’s sake, the “Good News” concerning Jesus our Messiah begins “before Time began” (2 Timothy 1:8-10) as our Creation, matter constrained by Time and physics, is the result of an unfathomable rebellion that manifest in the Kingdom of Elohim; a rebellion initiated by a narcissistic, anointed, cherub angel (Ezekiel 28:11+); to make matters worse, one-third of Elohim’s cherished angelic creation followed the rebellious cherub angel in an angelic coup d’état (Revelation 12).

The Creation Narrative (Genesis 1) manifest in response to the angelic coup d’état this coup necessitating a repository for that Kingdom War apart from the Kingdom of Elohim where nothing impure is permitted to exist (Luke 10:18; Rev 21:27). Currently, Elohim is dealing with the Great War that rages through us (Ephesians 6) and around us as every human conflict, every war is rooted in the spiritual.

Elohim commissioned the Son, Jesus our Messiah (John 3:35) and Creator (Genesis 1; John 1; Hebrews 1; Colossians 1), to procure elements from the unseen Spiritual Realm and fashion those elements into matter that can be apprehended by life constrained by Time and physics (Hebrews 11:3). All that we see and perceive with the human eye, the human sensory capabilities, and all that we’re unable to see physically yet is constrained by physics/Time, these find their origin in the Spiritual Realm. This is why the Darwninist-Evolutionist, the Physicist, the Anthropologist, the Cosmologist, will never define origin of life or matter.

In Genesis 3, in response to the Heavenly coup d’état and Adam’s compromise with evil at the behest of his wife via Satan, Elohim draws-out a “battle plan” for us in Genesis 3:15-21. Elohim tells us that an anointed One will enter the Realm of Time via the virgin seed of the woman and do battle with the rebellious cherub angel we know as Satan or Lucifer and the Warrior will be victorious over Satan as crushing the head of the serpent while the serpent would bruise Messiah’s heal (Genesis 3:15).

Elohim’s divine battle strategy, the Gospel,

It is duly noted in the First Epistle of John that Messiah’s primary reason for entering the Realm of Time was “to destroy the works of the devil” (1 John 3:8b). Elohim, immediately subsequent enacting a declaration of war against Satan in Genesis 3:15, provides humanity with a word picture of the divine “battle strategy” He would employ to defeat Satan at Golgotha; that is, Genesis 3:21 where Elohim, Himself, sheds innocent blood and clothes sinful Adam and Eve in an imputed “robe of righteousness” (2 Corinthians 5:21) while Elohim rejects Adam’s attempt to cover his own sin and shame by the works of his hands via fig leaves (Ephesians 2:8-9).

The Gospel made applicable in Time,

The entirety of Scripture, from Genesis 3 forward, is the eschatological plan of Elohim to introduce His Messiah into the World who would “destroy the works of the devil” via the Gospel, the “Good News of Victory” and offer the “spoils of war” to humanity via the redemption from sin provided through the Gospel of Grace; that is, Jesus Christ who entered the World via the virgin womb (Genesis 3:15; Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23) and thereby circumvented the sin-nature of Adam’s genome and Jesus walked blamelessly before the Father, the Spirit, humanity, and Jesus shed His innocent blood as blood atonement for our sin, our rebellion, in accordance with the divine mandates of Leviticus 17:11 and through Messiah’s faithfulness He destroyed the works of the devil i.e. death, Hell, the grave while simultaneously providing a divine Path to eternal life with the Father by faith in Jesus as our Messiah (John 3; Matthew 26-28); essentially, the perfection and righteousness of Jesus is imputed-gifted into the life of the one who believes Jesus is Messiah who died for them; this, in exchange for our sin (2 Corinthians 5:21). This “great exchange” is the Gospel or “Good News” of Jesus Christ who conquered death, Hell, the grave, sin, for sinful humanity and freely offers us His perfection-righteousness imputed-gifted into our lives by faith in Him as Messiah and the Father agrees by New Covenant promise to declare us “not guilty” and welcome us into His Kingdom as children of Elohim (Hebrews 8:7).

In conclusion,

Therefore, the Gospel of Jesus our Messiah has manifest in Time as a battle strategy to destroy the works of the Devil as Elohim strives to maintain volitonal love with His cherished angelic creation that did not follow Satan in the angelic coup d’état ; in addition, as an example of Elohim’s selfless, unfathomable, divine love, the Gospel is a strategy of reconciliation between Elohim and sinful humanity whereby Elohim destroyed the works of Satan, death-Hell-the grave and offers humanity eternal reconciliation with Him by faith; this, further demonstrating to the faithful angelic creation the enteral benefits of obedience, sacrifice, holiness, purity, righteousness contrasted with the unsustainable attributes of narcissism, arrogance, self-righteousness. This 7000-years of contrasting the sustainability of holiness and righteousness v. defilement and disobedience will also act as an eternal bulwark against future rebellion in the Kingdom of Elohim, the New Jerusalem, as free will exists in the Kingdom by necessity.

Why did Elohim Create; Why is Elohim waiting to judge Satan; Why NOT NOW?

Religion - Christianity, , , , ,
Question was asked: Why is Elohim waiting to judge Satan…”Why not NOW???? When is enough, enough?”

Christian response,

Human pride and a desire for self-worth and relevance clouds, is a stumbling block, to understanding Elohim’s eschatological objectives for the temporary Realm of Time, a physical realm constrained by physics. Human Kind does not possess the cognitive capacity to comprehend the love, intimacy, cherished relationship, that exists between Elohim and His beautiful angelic creation.

Human Kind is an entity of relevance concerning Elohim’s restoration of holiness and order and peace to His eternal Kingdom that was disrupted by a rebellious cherub angel, the Great Kingdom War that is causation for the Genesis creation narrative, the construction and Triune collaboration concerning the creation of the complex human genome.

Human Kind places a distant second in Elohim’s eschatological priorities but Elohim has chosen to provide compassion and grace and mercy to those through whom He is currently employing as instruments of an unfathomable eschatological plan that is centered, acutely focused, upon maintaining volitional love and intimacy with His cherished angelic creation, those faithful angels that did not follow Satan in the rebellion.

Eschatology must be fulfilled,

Elohim’s eschatological will must come to pass as the coming Tribulation Era will set the stage for the Millennial Kingdom of Messiah Jesus. The comprehensive peace that is realized during the Millennial Kingdom, an all-encompassing peace due Satan’s confinement apart from humanity for 1000-years (Revelation 20:2), will provide an irrefutable example, a comparison/contrast, for the faithful angelic creation, those angels that did not follow Lucifer in the rebellion, of why obedience to the Father’s will is vastly superior to rebellion, covetousness and defilement and self-righteousness.

The Millennial Kingdom’s universal peace will provide a stark comparison/contrast to the previous 6000-years of human horror, war, pestilence, death, suffering, unconscionable savagery, all led by, initiated by and rooted in the deception of Satan (John 8:44; Ephesians 6). This comparison/contrast will also act as a bulwark against future rebellion in the Kingdom.

Post Millennial Kingdom, Judgment…

Then, at the culmination of the 1000-year reign of Messiah, Satan will be released from confinement and will immediately proceed to deceive the Nations once again and the Nations will turn against Elohim and desire to engage in war but at this juncture Elohim will destroy His enemies by fire and immediately subsequent this final conflict (Revelation 20:7-9) the Judgment of Satan will manifest (Rev 20:10); then, the Judgment of the Condemned (Rev 20:11-15); then, the Earth and the Heavens will be destroyed by fire (a physical Hell for the rebellious of humanity 2 Peter 3:10), the old Earth will be purified, remolded, restructured, and a New Earth and New Heaven will manifest which will be the resting place, the eternal abode, of the New Jerusalem where the redeemed in Jesus will serve our resurrected Lord in resurrected bodies fashioned after His glorious body, eternally (Revelation 20-22; Philippians 3:21).

In conclusion,

Our entire existence within the temporary Realm of Time, constrained by physics, has manifest in response to the Great Kingdom War that was initiated by a rebellious cherub angel (Ezekiel 28:11+; Revelation 12:7-9; Luke 10:18) and our genome, the creation narrative, this Earth, Time, physics, are a temporary repository for that Kingdom War, a spiritual war partially constrained by physics; this, as the defilement within the Kingdom could not be allowed to continue as “nothing impure” is permitted therein (Rev 21:27).

This is why the major player and causation concerning the Kingdom War, a rebellious cherub angel, is first introduced in Genesis 3 possessing the attributes of a “serpent” and the declaration of war is declared in Genesis 3:15 and the battle strategy to destroy the works of Satan via the Messiah (1 John 3:8b), the Gospel, is first pictured in Genesis 3:21, a battle strategy, the Gospel, that was ordained “before Time began” (2 Timothy 1:8-10).

This is a very brief explanation of “why?”

Elohim’s Love – Conditional or Unconditional?

Religion - Christianity, , , , , , ,

A response to those who insist that Elohim’s love is “unconditional.” (A premise posited in a religious debate forum)

Concerning “Creation” and Elohim’s love… (conditional or unconditional?)

1) Actually, ex nihilo is not accurate concerning the creation narrative though many theologians interpret same from the Scriptures. If one listens to the Holy Spirit, they will find that the Son, Jesus Christ (John 1, Hebrews 1, Colossians 1, Hebrews 11:3) was commissioned by the Father (John 3:35) to take elements from the unseen Spiritual Realm and fashion those elements into matter; matter that can be apprehended by a life-form constrained by Time and physics (Hebrews 11:3). This was done in response to an unfathomable rebellion that manifested in the Kingdom of Elohim; the Realm of Time, the physical World, were created as a temporary repository for that rebellion while said rebellion, spiritual warfare, is partially constrained by Time and physics. A temporary physical realm created for a specific purpose, dealing with Satan’s rebellion, and that physical realm will ultimately be consumed by fire, purified, remolded, and provide a foundation for the eternal Kingdom, the New Jerusalem (2 Peter 3:3-13; Revelation 21).

Concerning the creation of the human genome and Elohim’s love (conditional or unconditional?)

2) Human Kind was created in the “spiritual image” of Elohim on Day-6 (Genesis 1:26-28) meaning that Elohim imparted certain divine communicable attributes into the unique human genome; this, for Elohim’s eschatological purposes going forward; primarily, this concerns Elohim’s objective “to destroy the works of the Devil” via the Messiah (1 John 3:8b) and humanity would play a strategic role in that eschatological plan.

Nothing beautiful about it but simply a creative necessity concerning the battle strategy called “the Gospel;” a divine battle strategy that was ordained “before Time began” (2 Timothy 1:8-10; Genesis 3:15-21).

Jesus tells us that He observed His nemesis, Satan, extricated from the Kingdom in preparation for this war that rages around us and through us (Luke 10:18); therefore, we find Satan in Eden who initiates strife upon the Earth through his charismatic attributes (Genesis 3; Ezekiel 28:11+).

The Gospel and Elohim’s love (conditional or unconditional?)

3) Elohim has chosen to deal with Lucifer, the rebellion, through the Gospel and selfless love as demonstrated at Golgotha via Messiah; this, a divine battle strategy seeking to maintain volitional love and intimacy with His created faithful angels that did not ally with Lucifer in the rebellion; humanity is simply a unique pawn in that battle strategy and Elohim has shown grace and mercy to humanity through the Son but humanity is NOT a prized possession but is wicked and vile and unworthy (Genesis 6): therefore, Elohim’s grace and mercy is due His nature (1 John 4:7-21), not our worthiness and Elohim’s mercy is conditioned upon our choices relevant to whom we choose to serve, Jesus or Satan.

Angels (eternal creatures) – Humanity (the second death) and Elohim’s love (conditional or unconditional?)

4) The only reason Elohim has pursued the eschatological battle strategy of the Gospel is due the fact that angels were created to exist eternally, they do not die; therefore, the angelic rebellion mandated a unique battle strategy that only Elohim could construct; this, through Messiah and the Holy Spirit (Luke 20:36). This is why Satan and his angels will suffer eternally in Hell (Revelation 20:10) while unredeemed humanity will perish in the “second death” subsequent the Judgment of the Condemned (Revelation 20:11-15).

Salvation – free will and Elohim’s love (conditional or unconditional?)

5) Salvation is completely based upon “free will” as free will is essential for love and intimacy with our Creator to manifest with purity and authenticity; unless humanity and the angels possess the volition to choose to love Elohim, their actions, their relationship with Elohim, would be defined as robotic and therefore impotent concerning authentic love and relationship. Authentic love and intimacy in a reciprocal relationship cannot be realized via roboticism, fear, or coercion; true intimacy can only exist in an atmosphere of mutual respect and adoration which only manifests by a free will choice to engage in that relationship. Nothing beautiful or predestined or unconditional, about it…just basic logic.

Elohim’s love and humanity (conditional or unconditional?)

6) Elohim’s “love” is conditional. Humanity can “choose” to ally with Elohim through faith as part of Elohim’s eschatological plan to defeat Satan and the works of evil or humanity can ally with Satan and work against the defeat of Satan and the rebellious angels (demons), but there is very little “beautiful” about creation in Genesis 1-3 as the creation narrative was spiritually mandated for eschatological purposes going forward and the previous 6000-years of horror, suffering, death, manifest from the spiritual war that rages through us and around us is of necessity, not love for humanity but love for the faithful angelic creation that Elohim cherishes beyond human comprehension.

Elohim’s love expressed at Golgotha is primarily focused upon the defeat of Satan works (death-Hell-the grave) and protecting His divine, cherished, relationship with the faithful angelic creation;

Elohim’s mercy toward a hoard of unworthy, filthy, flesh-Hell bound creatures is conditioned upon the choice to serve Elohim by faith in Messiah or serve Satan through the rejection of Messiah; humanity is afforded an opportunity to take part in the spoils of war via faith in what our Warrior, Jesus Christ, has done as His primary objective was the defeat of Satan while maintaining volitional intimacy with the faithful angelic creation, we, humanity, are the byproducts of that eschatological plan and our eternal destiny is predicted upon choice; therefore, Elohim’s love is conditional and predicated upon what Human Kind “chooses” to do with Messiah Jesus.
