This article is dedicated to the following groups of people:
- To the scientists whose work is truly commendable, they should be fully admired for this will glorify God. It is hoped, they will believe in God, and in reading the Holy Bible He guides them.
- To people who believe in the Holy Bible, but have not clearly identified the True CHRIST; it is hoped they will recognize the One True God.
- To people who do not believe in the Holy Bible, I wish after reading it they are convinced CHRISTIANITY is the true religion.
- To the “chosen” who believe the Holy Bible is “closed with 7 seals” (Revelation. 5:1-5), but by “divine revelation” to them is revealed this three (3) specific inferences of what they read:
FIRST - The “letter” of the word from which Natural Men learn lessons on morality:
1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
SECOND - The “physical” or reality, to see how God formed MAN becoming a human being. With this JESUS CHRIST became the Savior taking the role claimed by the “FATHER, a spirit:
Isaiah 43:10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. 11. I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.
THIRD - The “spiritual” message, for many Bible believers to realize the “spiritual language” as illustrated for the word “death”:
Proverbs 21:16 The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.
2 Corinthians 4:18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
CAN CREATION HARMONIZE and BLEND WITH EVOLUTION?
A perfect GOD wants everything to be perfect as He is:
- In God’s omniscience and omnipotence who had everything: glory, power, and grandeur, He was not happy and satisfied.
- Therefore, God planned to establish a perfect Eternal Kingdom with “His Bride” that is perfect as He is:
Isaiah 54:5 For thy Maker is thine husband; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.
Jeremiah 3:14 Turn, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family…
Revelation 21:2 And I John saw… coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3. And so, Jesus Christ urged His “chosen”: Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Like any devoted couple would cherish, “a long period of courtship and engagement” is more precious and cherished than a “hasty and speedy wedding.” And so, GOD gave us the Holy Bible to illustrate this kind of spiritual marriage that He planned. Clearly, CREATION as we read in the Holy Bible is just a “blueprint” of God in establishing His Eternal Kingdom, the following are given to us for our guidance:
2 Corinthians 3:6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
Therefore, the “letter” or literal inference of the word in the Bible is not yet the real message. It simply serves as guide for the reality of what we read. And so, CREATION requires “physical” realization to complete God’s wondrous purpose. Hence, what we read still requires divine revelation for the third inference of the word, the “spiritual” that is “not seen”. We read:
2 Corinthians 4:18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
For this reason, CREATION serving as “blueprint” cannot be completed without the physical that is revealed in EVOLUTION. To prove this, can Bible believers confirm that man was already on earth on the 6th literal day of 24 hours? Let us remember the physical earth has been around for 4.54 billion (4,540, 000,000) years ago from CREATION (reference: Wikipedia).
THIS IS WHAT WE READ IN CREATION
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 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. 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
MAN was created on the 6th day (of 24 hours) of CREATION
Genesis 1:2 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. Genesis 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day (of 24 hours) from all his work which he had made.
Continuing our reading regarding the descendants of Adam and Eve:
Genesis 5:1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man…2 Male and female created he them; and blessed them… 3 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son … and called his name Seth: 4 And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters: 5 And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died. 6 And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos: 7 And Seth lived after he begat Enos eight hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters: 9 And Enos lived ninety years, and begat Cainan: 10 … Cainan lived eight hundred and fifteen years, and begat sons and daughters: 12 And Cainan lived seventy years, and begat Mahalaleel…down to:
Genesis 5:16 And Mahalaleel lived after he begat Jared eight hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters: 18 And Jared lived an hundred sixty and two years, and he begat Enoch: 21 And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah: 22 And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years…27 And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died. 28 And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son: 29 And he called his name NOAH.
Genesis 11:1-32 We read about the story of more descendants of Adam and Eve, their various activities including the building of the Tower of Babel, many events, and episodes that are clearly written.
The Great Deluge
Everybody knows what happened in the Great Deluge. Because of the wickedness of men, only Noah and his family were found acceptable to God. So God decided to “destroy both man, and beast, and creeping things, and the fowls of the air” with “flood” by raining for 40 days and 40 nights.
To save NOAH and his family and all “living things”, God commanded him to build an Ark designed by God with all the materials clearly specified. The measurement of the Ark was in terms of cubits, an ancient measurement of length approximately equal to the length of a forearm. Hence, by today’s standard this is not a big structure.
Genesis_6:15 And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
As we read, God instructed Noah to gather “all living things in pairs” to be with him in the Ark. It rained for 40 days and 40 nights that the Ark was floating more than 10 months for God to execute His plan:
Genesis 7:11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. 12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
Genesis_8:5 And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.
Based on a study by Theologians and Bible scholars, from CREATION well-documented historical events, and some math, they found that the Flood began approximately in the year 2348 BCE (or 2,348 years before Christ). Source Wikipedia.
EVENTS VIVIDLY WRITTEN AMONG OTHERS
- NOAH and his family in the Ark, together with all animals including a pair of elephants, the male drinking 1 drum and female ½ drum of water per day, according to Circus people, for a period of 10 months. This is 450 drums of water consumed. What kind of container did Noah use considering iron was not ye used at that time? Did this event possibly happen “physically”?
Genesis 8:5 And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.
2. Gideon with his 300 men overwhelmed 135,000 Midianites (Judges 8), or 450 enemies for every man. Did this possibly happen “physically”?
3. Meshach, Shadrach and Abednego were put in a furnace by King Nebuchadnezzar. The furnace was heated 7 times normal and together with a “4th man”, not even their clothes were burned (Daniel 3-4). Did this possibly happen “physically”?
4. Imagine the following if this have happened “physically” to prophet Elijah!
2 Kings_2:11 And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
Perhaps, no sane person would say these happened “physically”. But some Bible believers would say, “Nothing is impossible with God”. Then, this reasoning would contradict what is written:
2 Corinthians 3:6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter(or literal), but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
Therefore, all those things we read may be compared to a “blueprint” we call CREATION. A “blueprint” needs implementation for its fulfillment. This may be likened to a graphic presentation of an Architect/Engineer awaiting implementation for a magnificent edifice. And to God this is the emergence of MAN that would become His companion in His Eternal Kingdom.
EVOLUTION
Contrary to the general belief that EVOLUTION is of the Devil, God must have endowed wisdom to the Scientists to make CREATION a reality. This is “physical” and not just the “letter” or literal of what we read in the Holy Bible.
And because Scientists and other people do not believe in the Holy Bible, they become atheists and agnostics. Many Religious Leaders relying on the “letter” of the word, to them CREATION is already the truth. The truth is what “is written”, but this needs to happen to become a “reality”. For God to complete His CREATION, unknowingly the Scientists are the very people that He revealed the origin and existence of MAN. God speaks parables, and on several instances He compares MAN to a TREE:
Jeremiah 17:8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green…
“LETTER” TO THE “PHYSICAL” INFERENCE OF THE WORD
As mentioned, the four (4) great events could not have happened “physically”. The reason is, there were no people yet living on earth in that long period of time. It is by the “will of God” that CREATION now harmonizes and blends with EVOLUTION. For this long period of time in the history of the world, there was actually a “spiritual gap without the word” for more than 5,000,000,000 billion years.
Just as God cited “man as a tree”, so Scientists pictured EVOLUTION of man to a “tree”? The “tree” starts from a tiny “seed on the ground or “dust”, with “moisture” it cracked confirming “life” of itself. “Roots fastened to the ground, then the little plant “slowly” grows under the “sun”, growing into a “majestic tree”. Here is Jesus Christ pictured as “sun”.
Psalms 84:11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
Matthew 17:2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
God created MAN having intelligence for his “physical life”. This intellect is not supposed to be used on matters pertaining to God and His words. However, for God to prove His words requiring “physical” evidence, He allows Scientists to use this for His glory. And so, just as MAN was symbolized by a “spiritual tree”, through a “symbolic literal tree”, God’s CREATION is fulfilled in EVOLUTION and man became His “finish product”.
The EARTH
(All quotes are from Wikipedia)
How old is the EARTH?
The age of the Earth is 4.54 ± 0.05 billion years (4.54 × 109 years ± 1%). This dating is based on evidence from radiometric age dating of meteorite material and is consistent with the radiometric ages of the oldest-known terrestrial and lunar samples. This is based on the Development of modern geologic, early calculations and Radiometric dating.
The EVOLUTION tree
Basic sample for skeletal feature:
dinosaur for giraffe
frog for man
EVOLUTION progresses billions of years growing like an imaginary “tree”. With the application and interaction of scientific processes of (a) comparative anatomy, (b) embryology and development, (c) fossils record, (d) DNA comparison, and other means, EVOLUTION results in “Natural selection”. As simple illustration, “progenies or scions of superior characteristics keeps on improving, while the “inferior remains as branches”, and “sub-branches, and so on and so forth”. A clear illustration refuting EVOLUTION is, “if man came from an orangutan, why are there still monkeys today?” Orangutan and monkeys remain “simple branches” asGod wills it. Butat the top of the imaginary tree, suddenly MAN appears!
Very clear in this “evolution tree”, God waited billions of years in CREATING man. The following are quoted from Wikipedia:
The first fossils of early modern humans to be identified were found in 1868 in the 27,000-23,000 BCE Cro-Magnon rock shelter site near the village of Les Eyzies in southwestern France. They were subsequently named the Cro-Magnon people. They were very similar in appearance to modern Europeans. Males were 5 feet 4 inches to 6 feet tall (1.6-1.8 m.) That was 4-12 inches (10-31 cm.) taller than Neandertals. Their skeletons and musculature generally were less massive than the Neandertals. The Cro-Magnon had broad, small faces with pointed chins and high foreheads. Their cranial capacities were up to 1590 cm3, which is relatively large even for people today.
Around 200,000 years ago, Homo sapiens first appeared in East Africa. It is unclear to what extent these early modern humans had developed language, music, religion etc. They spread throughout Africaapproximately 50,000 years ago from which all modern humans are descended.
Around 80–100,000 years ago, three main lines of Homo sapiens diverged, bearers of mitochondrial haplogroup L1 (mtDNA) / A (Y-DNA) colonizing Southern Africa (the ancestors of the Khoisan/Capoid peoples), bearers of haplogroup L2 (mtDNA)/ B (Y-DNA) settling Central and West Africa (the ancestors of Niger–Congo and Nilo-Saharan speaking peoples), while the bearers of haplogroup L3 remained in East Africa.
Human intelligence is manifested the way they invent new tools and ways of keeping warm and finding new sources of food (for example, adapting to ocean fishing based on prior fishing skills used in lakes and streams that became frozen). The "Great Leap Forward" leading to full behavioral modernity sets in only after this separation. Rapidly increasing sophistication in tool-making and behaviour is apparent from about 80,000 years ago, and the migration out of Africa follows towards the very end of the Middle Paleolithic, some 60,000 years ago. Fully modern behaviour, including figurative art, music, self-ornamentation, trade, burial rites etc. is evident by 30,000 years ago. The oldest unequivocal examples of prehistoric art date to this period, the Aurignacian and the Gravettian periods of prehistoric Europe, such as the Venus figurines and cave painting(Chauvet Cave) and the earliest musical instruments (the bone pipe of Geissenklösterle, Germany, dated to about 36,000 years ago).
Improvement of intelligence
The first City
The fact that MAN began building cities and engaged in wars, these are the sign that they have the “intellect and feeling” we have today, the attributes of the SOUL. The city of Eridu, close to Uruk, was considered the first city in the world in the year 3700 BCE to 2800 BCE.
The first War
Throughout history, individuals, states, or political factions have gained sovereignty over regions through the use of war. The history of one of the earliest civilizations in the world, that of Mesopotamia, is a chronicle of nearly constant strife. Even after Sargon the Great of Akkad (2334-2279 BCE) unified the region under the Akkadian Empire.
The foregoing very clearly shows MAN at that time acquired “intellect and feeling”, the attributes of our SOUL. Therefore, what we read in the Holy Bible how God “created MAN” just expressed in the “letter” now becomes “physical” or real. Only GOD knows the exact time in “seconds” that the following was applied:
Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
This must be the “big bang” theory that Scientists have continuously searched, but never resolved until now. Therefore, very clear in the foregoing, for God’s CREATION to be fulfilled “physically”, He allowed EVOLUTION for us to see God’s patience in waiting.
Hence, God may be compared to an Architect/Engineer who designed a majestic edifice. Materials are specified and construction properly supervised, until it is finished into a magnificent building. For God He prepared the “essential elements”. Freely God allowed these to “occur and develop” for billions of years. In time GOD’S dream is realized seeing “human beings” as we are today. As a reminder, the great events clearly narrated in the Holy Bible actually did not happen for there were no people on earth in that long period of time! All those things are just in the “blueprint” of God.
The proof that people then were as we are today is proven by building cities and engaged in wars. That was a long period approximately 4,399,920,000 (5,400,000,000 – 80,000) years BCE (B.C. era). Very clear there was “spiritual vacuum” in the word of God for the Bible was not yet given. The reason is, there were no people on earth in that long period of time! What was evolving were living animals in the process of “Natural Selection”.
From the time people were as we are today having endowed with a SOUL, that was another period of around 58,607 years (60,000 – 1,393 BCE) of “spiritual vacuum” because the Bible was not yet given. Can we realize why Jesus Christ said this to justify this “spiritual vacuum”?
Matthew 7:6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
Thereafter, we read:
Psalms 40:7 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me.
In the Bible, very clear is the wisdom and justice of God:
Romans 2:12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;
In the omniscience or foreknowledge of God, He knew upon CREATION these people would “not humble themselves and submit to His will”. They will not be saved, but they will suffer the punishment according to their respective MORAL CODE comes Judgment Day.
GOD BEGAN BUILDING ETHERNAL KINGDOM
To the Architect/Engineer this is the start of construction that is in the “blueprint” to see the real edifice. To God, this is the time to fulfill what He revealed to MOSES who lived in 1,393 – 1,273 years BCE. MOSES wrote the first five books of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy; and to the minor prophets Joshua, Isaiah, Jeremiah, David, Solomon, Ezekiel, Daniel, and others, who wrote the Old Testament books. Let us remember, as earlier emphasized, CREATION is just a “plan or design” that needs actual realization. In another perspective, reading the Holy Bible is like looking at an “ordinary picture” without breadth and depth of a 3-D visualization.
In the Old Testament books are contained the different events, including the four (4) as earlier mentioned that did not possibly happened “physically” for there were no people on earth at that time. Now something to think about when Jesus Christ told His Apostles:
John 4:35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
It appears that real EVANGELISM just started when JESUS CHRIST revealed His two (2) roles. JESUS CHRIST as FATHER, His primary role is very clearly discerned in the 4 gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John; so also His secondary role as Son of God occasionally revealed in the verses. Jesus told the Jews:
John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. John 8:33 They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
Reading the true history of Ancient Egypt formerly known as Kemet, the Jews were correct telling JESUS CHRIST that they have never been in physical bondage to any man. Very clear, therefore, crossing the Red Sea is added to events that never happened “physically”. We may now add, all events in the Old Testament perceived to have happened physically, actually they are just “parables” what God says of the “letter” of His words.
2 Corinthians 3:6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
“Letter killeth” simply means the word does not yet represent the “physical” or the reality of the message. Here is another verse serving as warning that “time” to God is another to man in the OLD and NEW Testament:
Psalms 90:4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
Something to think about !
If, indeed, the Israelites have not been in “physical bondage”, then everything we read encompassing Old Testament people and events are just “letter” of the word. And so, the truth about the word needs “divine revelation” for God’s real or “intended message”, which is the “spiritual” or “unseen”. This time, the following has a deeper meaning to us who live in the New Testament:
2 Peter 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 2 Corinthians 4:18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
The LAWS in the Old Testament were required to be followed to the “letter” or physically.
Deuteronomy 28:1 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:
The blessings:
Deuteronomy 28:2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God. (you may read: Deuteronomy 28:3-13)
Punishment:
Deuteronomy 28:15 But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee. (you may read Deuteronomy 28:16-58)
Vengeance:
Exodus 21:22-25 “tooth for tooth, hand for hand”. (you may read the verses).
The real or ‘spiritual message”
The foregoing very clearly are just the “letter” because the real or intended message is “spiritual” as we read in:
James 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
Hence, Old Testament characters are just “symbols”. Their “physical offerings” like sheep, doves, oxen, goats, and others, again are simply “depiction” of the “intended message”. Clearly, therefore, Old Testament saints salvation “by faith” as we read in Hebrews 11:1-40 (you may read) are by God’s design pointing New Testament warning as Jesus Christ on Thomas doubting His promise:
John_20:24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. :26 And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you. :27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. :28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
John 20:29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
Therefore, JESUS CHRIST statement has not been truly comprehended by many Bible believers:
Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
The “physical” is the reality of the message as clearly demonstrated in the following in the person of JESUS CHRIST. Also, the “physical” is the reality of CREATION when MAN appears in EVOLUTION:
- The “saviour” in the Old Testament was exclusively claimed by Father GOD, a spirit:
Isaiah 43:11 I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.
GOD became a “reality” in the person of JESUS CHRIST due to the Testament of Salvation made by the FATHER (Genesis 17:7) requiring “His own physical death”.
Hebrews 9:16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. :17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.
Who can now deny the following truth?
Luke 2:11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
1 Timothy 3:16 KJV 16:11 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles…
(God, not Jesus Christ or He as rendered in other Bible versions.)
2. God created MAN on the 6th day of CREATION:
Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Hence, MAN became a reality in EVOLUTION very much later some 58,607 years ago.
This Second inference in the word of God is the reality that requires “physical” evidence. Many Bible believers solely rely on the “letter that killeth”. And so, they “cannot see” that this 2nd Inference in the word of God requires “divine revelation”. To prove this truth:
- Many Bible believers for simply relying on the “letter” of the word recognize JESUS CHRIST in the following. It’s very clear there is no “divine revelation”.
- JESUS CHRIST is only a man and not God (the Arian doctrine)Jesus Christ is only a “mighty or junior God” for the Father is the “Almighty God” (the JEHOVAH doctrine)
- Jesus Christ is the name of the FATHER and HOLY SPIRIT (the Oneness or Sabellian doctrine, but the warning in Revelation 13:11)
- Jesus Christ is both God and man, He is the 2nd person of the TRINITY (the Athansian Creed)
Therefore, these people are subject to the rebuke of JESUS CHRIST. While they profess to know HIM, they declare “God is a mystery incapable of clear identification”.
John 8:19 Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.
- And for believing in CREATION but simply relying on the “letter that killeth”, they reject EVOLUTION. They cannot see the reality of the “wisdom of God and His patience winning His BRIDE He loves”.
Revelation 21:9 …Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.
Revelation 21:2 And I John saw … coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
With this great revelation on the origin of MAN, it is hoped scientists begin to read the Holy Bible and see their role as God has given them. For Bible believers who depend only on the “letter” of the word, may they be enlightened that it still needs “divine revelation” for the reality of the message of God.
The GENTILES in our time
Romans 2:14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
Romans 2:15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;
Romans 2:16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
How foolish in the eyes of God the Natural Man’s “concept of salvation” for the Gentiles. They presume just because they did not have access to the word of God; example, those people in the mountains and remote areas, they will be saved according to their respective “Moral Code”. Why are they so blind not to see the omniscience of God that even before CREATION He already knew these people would not believe the gospel anyway.
Therefore, they will be like those early people who built cities and engaged in wars after having been endowed with the SOUL. God withheld His words to them knowing they would not believe the “true gospel” anyway. Therefore, at Judgment Day they will all be thrown into the Lake of Fire to suffer 2nd death, with punishment according to their respective “Moral Code”.
How relevant is the word of God revealed to Paul regarding “the relationship of the Groom and the Bride”.
Act 17:26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
Act 17:27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
Act 17:28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
Hoping it is a great lesson to the following:
- With this great revelation on the origin of MAN, it is hoped scientists begin to read the Holy Bible. Hopeful and only God knows some of them will “humble themselves” and become His “chosen” also. And for Bible believers, for them the need to know more about the power and omniscience of God.
- For God revealing EVOLUTION actually is a part of His plan in CREATION:
a) On our part, humility dictates that “our debt of gratitude” is much deeper than being CREATED in a matter of days or years included us among His eternal COMPANIONS.
b) On the part of God, seeing the fruit of His perfect CREATION waiting and expecting for billions of years is more gratifying than just in months of “30 literal days”, days of “24 hours.”, and yearsof “12 months”.
