First Word

     This is a bullet point summation like Reader’s Digest or Cliff Notes; looking at the Bible from the view point of all creation looking down and WITNESSING; the rebellion of Satan, God’s patience and His plan of salvation for man to find The Way back to the Tree of Life which is now in Heaven.  It’s about those who are the WITNESSES to the events that take place so there will never be another rebellion in Heaven for all eternity.

     Some things will not be familiar to you such as eternity past, present time and eternity future, which is the three earth ages.  You may not have heard of Lucifer’s flood, the flood before Noah’s flood better known as the Gap Theory.  Many students of the Bible reject the Gap Theory even though it answers the age of the earth questions.  While I embrace it, and recommend studying it; you just do as the Holy Spirit leads you.

 

First Earth Age - This is eternity past  

·         In the beginning God creates the Heavens and the Earth. He sees that it is good; Genesis 1:1

·         Man and animals are created with free will; they are good

·         The angels are created with free will, including Satan; they are good

·         There is NOT a Law:  if you sin, you will die.

·         Satan is given dominion over all of the Earth; but he wants to be worshiped as God

·         Time does not exist; but probably millions of years as we know it would pass by.

·         Satan rebels; so does 50,000,000 angels and they leave their assigned post to follow Satan

·         Man’s heart becomes filled with evil and violence and man wants to do his own thing.

·         All of Heaven sees and witnesses what’s happening and waits to see if Satan will succeed.

·         God gives eons of time for Satan and man to come around, but they don’t

·         God floods the earth, wiping out everything.

·         The earth becomes without form and void; Genesis 1:2

·         Heaven watches and is witness to what Satan will do about it.

 

Second Earth Age – This is the present age; but before Jesus Christ is born.

·         The earth is still void and the spirits of the dead are still alive, but they have no bodies.

·         They become Satan’s demonic followers.

·         Time as we know it begins; Satan is unable to create anything or give life.

·         God starts over; all of Heaven is witness, watching to see what Satan will do next.

·         The plan of salvation of man is put into effect.  “The law of sin and death”.

·         A mystery is also put into effect.  A new ruler of the earth will come and defeat Satan.

·         Everything is re-created or “brought forth” starting in Genesis 1:3; man has free will.

·         God puts Adam and Eve in the Garden; everything is put under Adam’s authority.

·         Satan is determined he will not report to a man made lower than him, made out of dirt.

·         God tells Adam “don’t eat of the fruit of the tree of good and evil”, or you will die.

·         Satan tricks Adam into eating the fruit; God knew he would, Adam is now a sinner.

·         Adam now has kids; Satan thinks Able will be the new ruler; he gets Cain to kill Able.

·         Now everybody is a sinner; Satan is home free, he is now king and worthy of praise.

·         About 2,000 years passes; man is hopelessly evil.  All Heaven is wondering what’s next.

·         God gets Noah and his family to build an ark; fills it with pairs of God’s creation.

·         God Floods the earth for over a year. Only 8 people are saved; this is God’s remnant.

·         Noah’s family and the animals and creatures start over re-populating the earth.

·         About 1,000 more years pass; Satan hears the Prophets talk about a hidden mystery.

·         A messiah is prophesied to come from the Jewish nation to rule the earth.

·         Satan gets Pharaoh to kill all the male children; Moses is saved, so Moses must be the one.

·         Satan gets Moses to kill an Egyptian; now Moses is a sinner, Satan thinks he is home free.

 

The Church age begins – Jesus the Messiah prophesied.

·         Another 1,000 years pass; Satan hears more talk about a “mystery that’s been hidden”.

·         A Messiah is coming; a new ruler of earth.  Now all creation is watching what will happen.

·         Satan gets the king to kill all the babies two years old and under; but, Jesus is saved.

·         Jesus is found at age 12 in the temple, but does not start His ministry till He is about 30.

·         Satan tries to tempt Jesus into sinning, but is unsuccessful; Satan needs another plan.

·         The Jews are excited; they are looking for a reigning Messiah to set up a kingdom.

·         Jews are disappointed; Jesus comes as a suffering Messiah with a message of salvation.

·         Jews don’t understand and reject Jesus as the Messiah; Satan is ecstatic., heaven watches

·         The prophets say everyone that hangs on a TREE is a sinner

·         Satan enters Judas and tricks him into forcing Jesus to take action as a reigning Messiah.

·         It didn’t work; this was not the Plan.  Judas sees he made a mistake and kills himself.

·         Jesus is crucified on a TREE; sinless Jesus takes all of man’s sins.  Satan is dumbfounded.

·         Heaven, Hell, demons and angels both good and evil are witness to what happens next.

 

The Church age continues – More prophecy revealed

·         Jesus goes to a compartment of hell known as PARADISE or Abrahams Bosom.

·         Jesus preaches to the good guys and takes them to heaven with the keys of death and hell.

·         Jesus spends time with His disciples and about 500 others; all creation is witness.

·         Jesus is translated to Heaven and sits at the right hand of God; all heaven is witness.

·         The prophets tell that the Messiah is coming back; this time to be a reigning Messiah.

·         Satan is upset and knows his time is short. All Creation is watching and giving witness.

·         Time is given to Satan and all in the earth to hear Christ’s message of salvation and repent.

·         John is thrown into the prison on the island of Patmos; Satan starts killing the other Disciples.

·         God gives a vision to John and he cryptically writes it down and sneaks it out to the believers.

 

Last of the Church Age – John is given a Vision; the Rapture - the Tribulation – the Future

·         Warnings about the end times are given to the body of Christ; the Churches of all ages.

·         2000 more years pass; time enough for Satan and all living to respond to Christ’s message.

·         All Creation is watching and witness to the story of God’s patience and Satan’s total rebellion

·         Satan enters and consumes a man and he becomes his false prophet; he is the Anti-spirit.

·         Satan enters and consumes another man and he becomes the Antichrist; HE IS A MORTAL MAN.

·         Satan sees himself as god; he now has his un-holy trinity, fooling many; he seems like God.

·         Great confusion exists; Satan, the fallen angels, demons and the wicked are all that’s left.

·         This is the first part of Christ’s second coming; because of this event some believe and saved.

·         God sends TWO WITNESSES to the Jews; doing mighty miracles, many Jews are saved.

·         The two witnesses might be Elijah and Enoch, both never died but were raptured /translated.

The Take Away
     The Bible from Genesis to Revelation is the revealing of the Messiah, Jesus the Christ.  In the Old Testament the Messiah is concealed and in the New Testament the Messiah is revealed.  The story is of Lucifer, the light bearer, the highest created being of God, His Chief of Staff desiring the glory, worship and adoration due only to God.  His rebellion, his SIN stirred up the Wrath of God and Satan lost his authority in heaven and in earth to a MAN, a creation made lower than him, one made out of dirt. 

     Lucifer, Satan, the Devil, the Old Serpent spins a web of deception with lies, corruption and deceit and attacks God’s greatest creation, MAN.  If he can corrupt man, then all creation will be corrupt and surly God will not throw ALL of His creations into the Lake of Fire.

     Because of Sin, man became the object of God’s wrath and now all are destined for the Lake of Fire.  In God’s mercy and compassion, He sent His son to give us the Plan of Salvation and then gave us the Holy Spirit to enable us TO CHOOSE THE WAY back to the Tree of Life that was in the Garden of Eden.  The angels are the WITNESSES of God’s mercy and grace, and man’s rebellion.  All who by Free Will choose to be conformed to the “Image of Jesus Christ” will be in Heaven.
