The brightness of our
revelations depends upon the correctness of our doctrines, our
building
blocks. We who are saved, redeemed, imputed for
righteousness, born-again,
are spiritually ascending and descending Jacob’s ladder. (Gen 28:12;
John
1:51). God is Love. God is
Thought.
Thoughts are Life. God’s angels are His manifested Thoughts (His
Words). God is
a Spirit. Angels are His manifested Spirit. God is the eternal Spirit
from
which all things that are the entire manifested
universe was/is being
created. All S(s)pirits are God’s thoughts. You are a transitional part
of
God’s Spirit (Eccl 12:7); you
will become either an eternal Heavenly Spirit, or
an eternal fallen spirit.
THE
LORD GOD CREATED EVIL
(Gen 1:1-3)
In the beginning God created
the heaven and the earth [out of His
Thoughts]. 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. And God said, Let there be light: and there
was light.

(Isa 45:7)
I form the light [out of something already existing

[out of something already
existing], and create evil
[out of My Thoughts]: I the LORD [Heb: Jehovah] do all these things
[FOR A PURPOSE].

(Isa
54:16) Behold,
I have created the [black]smith [i.e.,
Satan = Heb: an opponent: adversary]
that bloweth the coals [the
wooden coals (trees) of men] in the
fire, and that bringeth forth an

the world, but he that
believeth
that Jesus is the Son of God?
KNOWING
GOOD AND EVIL
(Gen 3:4,5) And the serpent
[Heb: a snake (from its hiss)] said unto the woman, Ye shall
not
surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then
your eyes
shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods [Heb: angels], knowing
good and evil.
1.
Commentary: Why did God form
closed eyes in
man? Adam and
the woman seemed perfectly adapted to the exclusively
spiritual aspects of God and the Garden of Eden (a type and
shadow of
Heaven) before their sin and their consequent fall from the
Garden/Heaven. Answer: because God has a purpose in
what he does. God knew they
were going to sin before they sinned, He planned it so and He provided
for it, in
advance. That was the beginning of His purpose
in us; ultimately, a
“very good” purpose. What? You don’t really think that God was
surprised… do
you?
(Gen 3:22-24)
And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one
of us [i.e., the
triune Godhead] [1], to
know good
and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also
of the tree of
life, and eat, and live for ever
[2]: Therefore the LORD God sent
him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from
whence he was
taken. So he drove out [Heb:
expelled, thrust out] the
man;
and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims
[3],
and a flaming sword [the
double-edged
sword of the logos/rhema Bible (Eph 6:17; Heb 4:12)]
which turned
every
way, to keep the way of the tree of life [i.e., Jesus Christ].
1.
Commentary: “as
one of us” = “as” means
“like” or “similar to” but it does not mean “same.” As
one of us like a god (small g),
but not a
complete flawless God
(holy
G) because the man lacked something.
2.
Commentary: “and
live for ever” = to live in the
eternally fixed state of knowing
or being
acquainted with good and evil – as a single unit (one fruit),
but totally unable to ever comprehend
any moral difference between good and evil, and thus living an evil impure defiled
life with “occasional” good deeds. However, even “much
good” is still an impure
defiled
life and results in eternal
separation from God… unless
one becomes born-again and is
thereby forgiven for their
inevitable sins.
3.
Commentary: “Cherubims”
= angelic service-beings
with large wings (some perhaps a 20 foot span) and the hands of a man.
Each of
the cherubims had four faces, the
face of a cherub, a man, a lion, and an eagle (Ezek 10:4). God rode
upon the
wings of a “cherub” (30x) twice (2
Sam 22:11; Psa 18:10), and dwelled between the “cherubims” (65x) often.
Amen
(Dan 12:4)
But thou, O Daniel, shut up the
words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end:
many
shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
(Rev 22:10)
And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings
of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.
