WE ARE SHEEP BEING HERDED BY THE ANTICHRIST…

and his many minions including the false prophet which is the liberal left news media,

from the light of God’s established “order” back down into the darkness of Satan’s “chaos.”

CHAOS

Gen 1:1  In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Gen 1:2  And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. Gen 1:3  And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. Gen 1:4  And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. Gen 1:5  And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

1.      anthropomorphic = Dict: ascribing human form or attributes to beings or things not human.

2.      Commentary: The first recorded example of anthropomorphism is when God spoke a veiled picture of the planet earth as being Satan (Gen 1:1-5).

 

(Gen 1:1-5)  In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth [in contrast or opposition to the heaven]. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep [anthropomorphism]. And the Spirit of God [the Holy Spirit] moved upon the face of the waters [anthropomorphism]. And God said, Let there be light [in contrast or opposition to darkness]: and there was light [“I am the light of the world” John 8:12: Jesus Christ]. And God saw the light, that it was good [in contrast or opposition to evil (bad)]: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day [please note the capital “D” as used in a proper name (herein symbolizing Christ Jesus)], and the darkness he called [i.e., equals and is the same as] Night [please note the capital “N” as used in a proper name (herein symbolizing Satan)]. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

1.      the earth = Heb: to be firm /// ground, world.

a.       Commentary: Contrast and opposition (both implying-indicating “against”) exist on the same spectrum of meaning with contrast being the objective lesser in intensity and opposition being the subjective greater in intensity.

2.      without form = Heb: to lie waste; a desolation, i.e. desert; fig. a worthless thing; adv. in vain:--confusion, empty place, without form, nothing, (thing of) nought, vain, vanity, waste, wilderness.

3.      void = Heb: (to be empty); a vacuity, i.e. (superficially) an undistinguishable ruin:--emptiness, void.

a.       Commentary: to be empty, to be void of what? Answer: love. “God is love” (1 John 4:8,16). The clear declaration here is that Satan, having been exiled from heaven, is empty of love. Satan is void of God. Consequently, “darkness” follows in the biblical text:

4.      darkness = Heb: the dark; hence (lit.) darkness; fig. misery, destruction, death, ignorance, sorrow, wickedness:--dark (-ness), night, obscurity. [i.e., the absence of love]

5.      the deep = Heb: an abyss (as a surging mass of water).

6.      light = Heb: illumination or luminary (in every sense, including lightning, happiness, etc.).:--bright, clear, + day, light (-ning), morning, sun /// to be (make) luminous:--X break of day, glorious, kindle, (be, en-, give, show) light (-en, -ened), set on fire, shine. [i.e., the opposite of “darkness” = love]

a.       (Psa 18:28)  For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.

b.      (Psa 119:105)  NUN. Thy word [Jesus Christ: John 1:14] is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

7.      divided = Heb: to divide (in var. senses lit. or fig., separate, distinguish, differ, select, etc.):--(make, put) difference, divide (asunder), (make) separate (self, -ation), sever (out), X utterly.

8.      Night = Heb: a twist (away of the light), i.e. night; fig. adversity.

9.      Satan = Heb: an opponent: espec. Satan, the arch-enemy of good: adversary.

10.  Commentary: “And the evening and the morning were the first day” = this phrase establishes the first “order” placed upon “chaos,” and is rather like introducing a bit, which is the unbreakable metal mouthpiece of a bridle, to the horse. The reins of control are attached to the bit, which control and hence reins and hence rider the horse resists, but obeys. God’s order is form, and not void of love.

a.       order = Dict: 1. an authoritative direction, injunction, or mandate. 2. a condition in which everything is in its proper place with reference to other things and to its purpose; methodical or harmonious arrangement.

b.      chaos = Dict: 1. utter confusion or disorder wholly without organization or order; a confused mixture. 2. a chasm or abyss. [“God is not the author of confusion, but of peace” 1 Cor 14:33]

11.  (Ezek 28:18)  Thou [the king of Tyre, i.e., Satan] hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffic [Heb: trade (as peddled): merchandise]; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. [Isa 14:12-17; Ezek 28:11-19]

 

THE LORD GOD FORMED MAN

(Gen 2:7,8)  And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground [Heb: earth], and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life [the Holy Spirit]; and man became a living soul. And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

1.      formed = Heb: (through the squeezing into shape); to mould into a form; espec. as a potter.

a.       Commentary: We, being formed “of the dust of the ground” (the earth - Satan) are all born in the flesh which is derived from the ground, the earth (Satan), and thus we inherit the sin-nature of Satan in our flesh. 

 

THE LORD GOD CREATED DARKNESS

(Isa 45:7) I form the light [Jesus Christ], and create darkness [Satan]: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

1.      form = Heb: (through the squeezing into shape); to mould into a form; espec. as a potter.

a.       (Heb 5:8)  Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;

2.      create = Dict: to bring into being; cause to exist; produce.

 

THE LORD GOD CREATED THE BLACKSMITH TO FORM, THE WASTER TO DESTROY

(Isa 54:16,17)  Behold, I have created the [black] smith that bloweth the coals [burning embers of wood (us)] in the fire [of affliction, of tribulation], and that bringeth forth [forms] an instrument [“a weapon” NIV] for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy. No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.

 

THE LORD GOD COMMANDED THE LIGHT TO SHINE OUT OF DARKNESS

(Acts 26:15-18)  And I [Saul, later called Paul (Gk: little)] said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee; Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee, To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.

 

(2 Cor 4:6)  For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
