Eternity to Time to Eternity

In the beginning God. The Father of Spirits existed throughout all eternity with the Word. There was nothing of a physical nature that existed. No up or down, no night or day, no visible . . . only the Spirit of God mapping out His future creation. Our heavenly Father planned every detail of creation from the beginning until the next beginning. The Word was with God from the beginning because Wisdom cannot be created. It is an attribute of God. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. So throughout all eternity past there was nothing but perfect invisibility. There was no light, no dark, no heavens or earth. God is invisible and has no shape or form. He is completely self-sufficient and spent eternity past in solitude. God had an “eternal purpose which unfolded with the creation of the universe.” Therefore, since time began, everything that has happened in this sequence of time is the revealing of the mind of God. Every event and occurrence, whether good or bad, was decreed by God in the eternal past. Every one of our destinies was decided by the mind of God. Our cultures, our languages, our races, and our locations on earth were all decided by God. We live in a created reality.

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. John 1:1-5 (NKJV)

Election had its beginning in Jesus Christ the man. He was before all things, and was the first in the mind of God. Christ was singled out to be the second person of the godhead, and to take the form of human flesh. Christ as man was predestined, just as we were, and God was to be His God by grace. “The Lord possessed me at the beginning of His way, before His works of old. I have been established from everlasting, From the beginning, before there was ever an earth. When there were no depths I was brought forth, when there were no fountains abounding with water. Before the mountains were settled, before the hills, I was brought forth; While as yet He had not made the earth or the fields, or the primal dust of the world.” Proverbs 8:22-26 (NKJV) Along with God the Father and God the Son, was God the Holy Spirit, who existed from the beginning. These three as one make the Trinity of the godhead. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and these three are one God, the same in substance, equal in power and glory. They are one nature, the same in Their attributes, in Their will, and in Their purpose.

  Sometime after this, we do not know how long, God created a spirit race of beings who worshiped and served Him. I believe our spirit beings were included here because God said He knew us before the foundations of the earth were laid. I also believe that we knew Him, but this information is being held from us so we can use our free will to decide if we are for God or against Him. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. 1 Corinthians 13:12 (NKJV) When the worlds were created Lucifer was to lead mankind in the worship of God. Instead, Lucifer rebelled. Many angels and humans rebelled also. Everything that God creates is good so God did not create sin, because He hates sin. Some say that Lucifer created sin and it is somehow out of God’s control, which is not true. Sin is not a created thing, but a wicked perversion of the good things that God created. For an example, the sin of fornication is the perversion of sex. Pride is a deep pleasure or satisfaction derived from one’s own achievement, which is a corruption of self-esteem. Sin is a parasite that attaches to the good things God created for the well-being of mankind. This is why it is so easy for us to be seduced by sin. A lie once believed is never satisfied, and leaves us craving for more.

In Ezekiel 28:13-18 (NKJV) Lucifer, Satan the devil, is described as the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and beauty. He was in the Garden of Eden, and every precious stone adorned him. He was anointed as a guardian cherub who covers and was at the pinnacle of the angelic ladder. He was on the holy mountain of God and walked among the fiery stones. He was perfect in his ways from the day he was created until wickedness was found in him. His business made him very rich and his heart became filled with violence from within, until he sinned. He was cast out of the mountain of God. His heart was lifted up because of his beauty, and he corrupted his wisdom for the sake of splendor. The pride in his heart placed him above the throne of God. In Isaiah 14:13-14 we have the five “I will’s” of Satan: “I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; And I will sit on the mount of assembly in the recesses of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.” In Revelation 12:7-9 we are told war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. (NKJV) In Luke 10:17 Jesus said, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.” The Bible says, “Satan is the father of all lies and there is no truth in him.”

Satan and his fallen hoard of angels set up shop here on earth deceiving mankind into worshiping them instead of God. Man also rebels against God, and tries to prosper without Him. Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, that the sons of God (fallen angels) saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose. Genesis 6:1-2 (NKJV) The number of angels that came down to earth was more than 200. They arrived at the summit of Mt. Hermon. They called this mountain Hermon because this is where they bound one another to the sacred curses. Enoch 6:6

These angels spread out all over the earth creating kingdoms of human followers to worship them. These are the pyramid kingdoms that dot the globe where human sacrifice and other evil activities were conducted to worship angels. Most people who see the phrase, “The tree of knowledge of good and evil,” look past the knowledge part. In return for mankind’s worship, the angels instructed man in the arts of war, sorcery, and the sciences. They corrupted the mind of man, and became wealthy through the corruption. In many instances the people who lived during these pyramid kingdoms were smarter than we are. Many are fooled today believing that our technology is more advanced than any other, but I would remind everyone that according to the Bible, “There is nothing new under the sun.”

The fallen angels took earth women for their wives, and these women bore a race of giants that were half angel, and half human. There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown. Genesis 6:4 (NKJV) These giants filled the earth with death and sin. I personally believe that the DNA between the angels and humans was not compatible. This drove them crazy. These giants started to devour men, because there was not enough food on the earth to sustain the population. They began by devouring birds, animals, reptiles, and fish until finally they started to devour each other. They created rituals where they drank the blood of their victims. Near the end they formed into two groups and went to war with each other doing vile and detestable things to the beings they killed. When the giants died their spirits did not go to hell, but roamed the earth to the detriment of mankind.

  Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. So the Lord said, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.” Genesis 6:5-8 (NKJV) The good souls of the earth cried out to God in agony over the torture they endured by the giants and angels. God heard their prayers and condemned the giants to death so that they will neither receive peace nor forgiveness for their sin. The angels will forever mourn and grieve over the slaughter of their children, and they will not receive God’s mercy.

  Many of the angels were captured and bound in the bottomless pit where they reside until this day. And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day. Jude 1:6 (NKJV) God found favor in Noah and said to him, “The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth.” Genesis 6:14 (NKJV) So God destroyed the earth and every living thing in it except those who were in the ark. He flooded the earth and all life perished.

Here begins written history so we know what has happened through time up until today. We are at the climax of a global dispensation. Eternity is once again at our doorstep. The consummation of all things hangs in the balance. We are waiting on the return of the King. The true owner of this planet is about to arrive and there is nothing that Satan can do about it. He is a defeated foe, and his high-jacked kingdom is coming to a close. Satan, the angels that followed him, the race of giants, and the disbelievers of this world will be cast down into hell.

  For one thousand years there will be peace and tranquility on earth. There will be no wars or sickness, and mankind will live at peace with each other. And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years. Revelation 20:4-6 (NKJV)

After the thousand years has expired Satan will be released from hell to deceive the nations. He will gather those who fall to Satan’s delusion and surround the camps of the saints. At this time God will destroy them. The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever. Revelation 20:10 (NKJV) Then those who turned against God were brought up to the great white throne judgement, and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:12-15 (NKJV) As we enter into eternity all things will be made new. There will be a new heaven and new earth, and there will be no more sea. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” Revelation 21:1-4 (NKJV)

This is how I see and understand these things I have expressed to you. I have provided enough biblical background for you to see for yourself how these things came about. It is not my intention to scare you, but to inform you of the consequences of sin. Many have come before us and have fallen prey to Satan and his diabolical world order. These people will pay the same price he did for their sins. Through this article, it is my intention that you will see the folly of their behavior and seek out the only One who can save you from this fate. God paid a tremendous price for you to be saved. He did that because He truly loves you. He wants you to overcome the desires of the flesh, and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.

To those who overcome:

1.) “I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.”

2.) “Shall not be hurt by the second death.”

3.) “Shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.”

4.) “I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And I will write on him My new name.”

5.) “I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.”

6.) “Shall inherit all things, and I will be their God and they shall be My sons and daughters.”
