GOD
IS THE SPIRIT OF LOVE
(Gen
1:1) In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
(Gen
1:1) In
the beginning God [1] created [2]
the
heaven [3] and [4] the
earth [5].
1.
Commentary:
“God is a Spirit”
John 4:24; “God is love” 1 John 4:8,16. Therefore, God is the Spirit of Love.
a.
love
= Dict.: 1. a
deep and tender feeling of affection for or attachment or devotion to a
person
or persons. 2. a feeling of brotherhood and good will toward other
people. 3. a
strong liking or interest in something.
b.
Commentary:
True love is an inner emotion
that may be
outwardly expressed and recognized as
personal sacrifice on behalf
of, or toward a
person or object. Love toward someone or something acts like a powerful
magnet
of steadily increasing strength, attracting (pulling) our attention
closer, ever more intimately, toward the
presence of
and ultimately into that particular person or
object, both
emotionally and physically, in type and shadow of what is about to
happen to
all “saved” persons, becoming One with our
God and our
neighbor. The mental love-scale or scale of love
that
we daily live with numbers 1 through 10, beginning with “like”
(1) and ending with “devotion” (10), i.e., Devoted to Love.
2.
Commentary:
“created” = God (love) is the
Creator. How do you “create”
(originate) something? First, you have to think
(to
have thoughts) about it. However, thinking time,
and time
itself, is subjective. According to the principle of
subjectivity
set forth in 2 Peter 3:8 [a], and the example of subjectivity evidenced
in Rev 10:6, namely that “there should be
time no
longer,” the perception of time is dependent
upon
who or what you are. Thus, God had from timelessness unto endless
eons of
time to create “the heaven and the earth,” or, instantly.
a.
(2
Peter 3:8) But, beloved, be
not ignorant [Gk: unaware] of this one thing, that one
day
is with the Lord as a thousand years [to us],
and a
thousand years as one day [to the Lord].
3.
Commentary:
“the heaven” =
heaven is conceptually an orderly dwelling place inside us
(“the kingdom of God [“the
kingdom of heaven”
Matt 19:23,24] is within you”
Luke 17:21). A kingdom of loving harmony for all the angels who
are His
servants, that is, the angels who are His loving thoughts which
serve
Him [a]. Our Bible is composed of the Thoughts of God that God
has
“sent” to us in the most comprehensible to us compacted form of words
(seeds)
(Luke 8:11) wherein each seed (angel, word, thought) is a potential
manifestion (servant) of the miraculous power of
His Holy
Self. [b]
a.
(Matt
8:8) The centurion
answered and said, Lord [Jesus], I am not worthy that
thou
shouldest come under my roof: but speak [send] the
word
[Gk: logos] [your thoughts, servants, angels] only, and
my
servant shall be healed [Gk: cured: made whole] [saved].
b.
Commentary:
God is Thought. “God is a
Spirit” (John 4:24) that
is Holy. Angels (Heb: messengers) are God’s servants.
Angels are a descriptive name for God’s Thoughts, i.e., His
Thoughts
serve Him exactly like your thoughts serve you. An angel, a Thought
(creation)
of God is an eternal spirit (Psa 104:4; Heb 1:7). You are an
eternal spirit
(a thought of God) living inside an earthen body. Every angel, like the
spirit
within Adam’s body, was created innocent and a part (a component, an
element) of God’s Holy Spirit.
Each angel is a Thought of God,
an angel composed of and
thus bearing God’s Thought, an angel that is functioning
(serving God) as
a sent (a manifested) message to ears that hear… although,
we may
herein note that an immeasurable inestimable number of God’s Thoughts,
God’s
Servants, are not sent (not manifested). Surely God’s
Thoughts
encompass infinitely more angels than the Bible. Altogether, each and
every
angel (spirit) is, or was, prior to becoming fallen, a part of
God’s Holy
Spirit (a part of God’s Thoughts).
4.
Commentary:
“and” = the
following is my tentative explanation of Isa 45:7 and the fallen angels
which I
have chronologically (in my timing, which is not
necessarily God’s
timing) and theoretically inserted here into the Bible
text. God did “create evil” [a].
Lucifer caught
the evil, received it, believed it, and he himself became evil
personified,
i.e., Lucifer became Satan, the spirit of evil, and the
commander-in-chief of all the fallen angels. Originally, every
angel was
created Holy (Heb: a sacred
place or
thing: dedicated (thing), hallowed (thing), a saint). The clearest
example of
the composition of an angel that originally was Holy but is no longer
Holy is
depicted in the Bible as “Legion,” who is actually a fallen
angel,
a changed thought of God (“For
I am
the LORD, I [My Spirit, My Thoughts, My Angels] change not” Mal 3:6). Legion
(typified in the
flesh by Goliath: Heb: exiled) was exiled from heaven,
having
become a defiled (syn: tainted, dishonored, corrupted, ruined,
degraded,
polluted) changed thought of God. This
fallen angel
(spirit, thought) was descriptively named Legion because a Roman legion
(army)
then consisted of about 6,000 warriors. Legion was a manifested
but fallen angel, the leading head angel (alike a military General)
of that
particular thought cluster or “strong hold” (2 Cor 10:4)
or army composed
of approximately 6,000 other fallen angel warriors (soldiers) who
altogether
agreed with, served, and supported (influenced, and strongly reinforced
with their
related thoughts) the specific theme
of
that defiled and defiling message of words (“conquering,
and to
conquer” Rev 6:1). When directly questioned by Jesus, “What is thy name?” (Mark 5:9;
Luke 8:30)
Legion (“an unclean spirit” Mark 5:2 – please note the singular
“spirit”)
responded and declared “we are many” (Mark 5:9) “many
devils”
(Luke 8:30) all dwelling within the same single thought cluster
or
“strong hold” (Gk: fortification: castle, fig. argument).
a.
(Isa
45:7) I form the light, and
create darkness: I make peace, and
create evil:
I the LORD do all these things.
5.
Commentary:
“the earth” =
was (then) created as a depository for the confinement
of the
guilty fallen angels who sinned lest
they should
contaminate others (as exemplified in Gen 6:1,2); fallen
angels who erred
against God by changing His Thoughts (manifested in Words), who
consequently
were stripped of their Holiness. Metaphorically, their
wings
(symbolizing Holiness) were stripped, torn, i.e., severed by the Sword
of the
Lord from them. Therefore,
those unholy
angels were no longer permitted to exist in a perfect harmonious
Holy
Heaven of Love with God, and were cast out of Heaven into the
defiling
earth (Gen 2:7). Having become wounded spirits (by the
loss of
their Holiness), the now criminal entities who sinned
were/are temporarily
imprisoned in physical earthly bodies, destined to be either
pardoned
(restored) or judged (damned) for all eternity.
Amen
