What was God doing before he created heaven and Earth and are there any scriptures that say where he “came” from?

This is a great question and one that baffled me during my college day with a major in Earth Sciences.  So here is where I went with it.  Or where I feel the Holy Spirit led me.

First of all the stories that were written by Moses were written before 1407 BC.  So about 1500 years after the facts.   Concerning Genesis I have some issues and scriptures for you to consider.  Obviously Moses was anointed of God to write what he wrote.  I would sure like to have the original to be sure of the conversation.  Not that the basics are not absolutely true but that the interpretation of those basics may have gone through a lot of filters.  Even in the New Testament there are places where translation could be a little better as in John 8 where Christ,  speaking to the religious leaders of HIS day.   He tells them clearly 3 times that HE is the “I AM” that gave Moses the 10 Commandments and that HE was before  Abraham, the  I AM.    But the translators did not catch it and added a “he” (not in the Greek) totally missing the point.  So lets start from the very beginning of matter.  First lets let in a well known fact concerning astronomy:  So if this is true it has taken around 14 billion light years for the light of that galaxy to reach earth.  Think about it.  This is a rather solid fact.    So lets work with that for a few minutes,  OK?

MACS0647-JD. MACS0647-JD is the second farthest known galaxy from the Earth based on the photometric redshift. It has a redshift of about z = 9.11, equivalent to a light travel distance of 13.26 billion light–years (4 billion parsecs). If the distance estimate is correct, it formed 130 million years after the Big Bang.

OK so if we take the “Big Bang” as the time when GOD converted some of HIS limitless Power (energy) into matter then go for a 130,000 million years you will find a galaxy that was formed and the light from that galaxy got to earth 13.26 billion light years later.  That does not give us the age of the earth but it does help show how big the House of God really is and this galaxy that GOD created.  So we need to shift our minds a little.  The Bible teaches in 1 Cor.13 that HIS eternal dimension is not the same as our time dimension.  The Bible also teaches that things were made of parts that can not be seen and placed on a globe hung on nothing that can be burned up like a sun without any the original matter being destroyed.  But this is another study.   But our Bible does teach that GOD lives in a dimension without time, walls or beginning or end.  Way beyond our understanding.  I have a problem with getting around that concept,  don’t you?  There is nothing out there but GOD or the total absence of GOD.  Absolute light or absolute darkness.

So in Holy Scripture we find that lucifer was the appointed cherub originally created to watch over what we now know as our solar system and the creation of life from God, the Creator.  This is found:  Ezek.28:12:19,  notice in verse 13 that he was in charge.  And in Isa.14: the prophet Isaiah continues in verses 12-23, especially verse 17.  

So personally I see all of this happening prior to the void of Gen. 1:3 where God starts to RESTORE the damage that had been done by Lucifer’s pride, rebellion  and miss-management (sin).   I feel it was a restoration due to God’s command to Adam in Gen.1:28 where HE gives Adam, his son, dominion and instructs him to replenish (re-populate) and to subdue (bring into order) the earth.  Another factor for Restoration is that the plants were restored on the 3nd day and the sun  and moon on the 4th.  This works well will for restoration where for creation it does not.  Also the garden with the Angel and Gate to keep them in, (from what?)  Or to protect them from what was still left over from lucifer’s previous meddling that was without?  lucifer had blown things up but still lays claim as the gifts and callings of GOD are without repentance.  (That is another good teaching for another day.)  lucifer gets evicted from the heavens by the church in Rev.12:11.  And finally from the earth in Rev. 20:10.

Another factor for restoration is found in Gen.4:16 where Cain went the land of Nod, found a wife and fathered Enoch and found a couple of more wives in Nod and so the story goes.  And In Gen. 6:4,  Moses write about the difference between the races as being the Son’s of God  and the Daughter’s of man (as being corrupted under lucifer’s manipulations, pre-restoration.)  Jesus taught us that demons (fallen angels) can not make babies in Luke 24:39.  So that whole story about the nephilim (giants) is total fiction as are a lot of traditions that are still running around in the church.  The nephilim are also mentioned in Ezek. 32:27 as with David.  So the union of the old and new did make giants but have been slain for the most part.  There are still some today that reach almost 8′ in height.  And there are reports and photo-shopped pictures everywhere.

So in my understanding Adam was the first of a new kind of species  that GOD wanted to create, develop and make into HIS Image and Likeness…  Adam rebelled, committed high treason and gave the world back to lucifer which Paul acknowledges as the god of this world.  2 Cor.4:4.   So Jesus came to restore what Adam had lost.  As in Adam all died, so in Christ Jesus shall all be made alive,  1 Cor. 15:22.

As for what is GOD doing?  Just think of it:  Our Creator GOD is all Powerful,  All Good,  And likes to be busy.   Jesus said one time as recorded by John 14:2,  “In MY Father’s House are many dwelling places.  If it were not so, I would have told you,  because I am going there to prepare a place for you.”   So personally I like science fiction as I learn about just how big the “Father’s House” is,  not that I believe the fiction part but the research for the back ground of the film is very enlightening.  My own point of reference is that we have been quarantined in time and on this solar system for 7,000 years to make the choice in our one life time between what is GOD’s TRUTH and LIGHT or to be seduced by the dark side.  Ezekiel 1,2,3 & 10 are also good scifi. reading.  And remember Philip was teleported, Acts 8:29-40.  The Bible teaches that it is beyond our comprehension what GOD had prepared for us if we will learn to trust and love HIM in Christ Jesus.

I have a rather long paper on eschatology (Future Prophetic Events.)  If interested drop me a line.

And if you have some more scriptures to add to my pile I would be happy to consider them.  This is a very quick answer to a very deep question.   Now for you to divide the BABY (TRUTH) from the bathwater.

Yours, in HIS great love and wonderful grace and mercy,  Ken<><    www.Trinity-Aloha.org

DREAMS & VISIONS      “WORTH CONSIDERING”   5/14/19    (Across my desk on 5/13/19

Today’s Scripture
“And He who is seated on the throne said, See! I make all things new…”
(Revelation 21:5, AMPC)

He Makes All Things New
When God puts a dream in your heart, when He puts a promise on the inside, He deposits within you everything you need to accomplish that dream. He wouldn’t give you the desire to do something without giving you the ability to fulfill it. In fact, the Scripture tells us that God gives us the desires of our heart. In other words, He puts the desire inside of us and then works with us to bring it to pass. Oftentimes people set out to accomplish their dreams, but they face a setback or disappointment, and then they feel as though their time has passed. But know today that no matter where you’ve come from, no matter what’s happened in your past, God wants to make you new. He wants to give you a “do over,” a fresh start. If you feel like you’ve missed opportunities in your life, if you feel like your time has passed, remember that today is a new day. You are a new person, and God has new opportunities in store for you. If one dream has died, it’s time to dream a new dream. He makes all things new in your life today!

A Prayer for Today
“Father in heaven, thank You for making all things new. I give You this day and invite You to have Your way in every area of my life. I choose to receive all the promises You have in store for me. In Jesus’ Name. Amen”

My Thoughts:
While it is true that HE who hath began a good work in you will perform it until the day of Christ Jesus, Phil. 1:6,  we still must be walking out our dreams and visions in faith.  I would rather put it this way that our Creator reveals the Good News dreams and visions to us through His Word and Church as to what HE would like to do with and for us.  But then it is up to us to buy into that Dream or Vision with heart faith.  It is up to us to seek and receive faith to believe the Gospel and put our heart, feet and hands into it.  There is always a place for a new start if we get off the track with repentance and faith.  But it is not automatic,  1 John 1:9-10.  We are in a partnership with us being the Jr. partner.  Jesus put’s it this way,  “If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you,  ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.  John 15:7”  (Always take note of that little conditional word “IF”)  So ” if” we really learn to live in Jesus and know HIS WORDS in our heart, then it works,  right?  Then our prayers receive what we ask for,  John 16:16  and if not the we may need to check James 4:3:   Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.  There is absolutely no manipulating GOD to get anything that our flesh might cry out for.

My Granddaughter, Geneva, has been told that cancer has returned,  please be in prayer for her.   She loves our LORD and has a beautiful family with devoted husband and 3 lovely children in Florida.

Rick Joyner: The Church as We Know It in the West Is About to Die
 5/10/2019 Rick Joyner   

The church as we perceive it in the West is about to die. This is not something to rejoice over. Even though it may be far from the church that Jesus will build, it has accomplished much and will die in honor. It is a parallel of the life of Rachel, Jacob’s wife, who died when Benjamin was born. Benjamin was the last son born to Israel and represents the last sons of God to be born on the earth. Benjamin means “the son of the right hand,” and the right hand of God is called “the right hand of power.” Like Rachel, the church will give birth to the “son of His right hand,” but it will take her life. So this means she will have been a mother to the last-day ministry, and we honor our fathers and mothers.

The Reformation helped the church dig its way out of a deep darkness, but even as far as Christianity has advanced over the last 500 years, we have much further to go. This does not mean it will take another 500 years. As we are told in 2 Peter 3:8, “But, beloved, do not be ignorant of this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.” This means He could do in one day what we think will take a thousand years.

It probably will not happen that fast, but everything is speeding up. However, what will happen will not happen through the continued reformation of the present model of the church. There is a new breed of ministry about to be released. It will be a people who walk in radical, revolutionary faith and power. This is such a new wine that the old model cannot contain it. For this reason we should not despair when the old model dies, but rightfully honor the Rachel that carried and given birth to the new breed.

Likewise, a new breed of radical, revolutionary patriot will arise in America, and not just America—in nations around the world. God established the nations and gave them boundaries. He said anyone who moved the ancient boundaries would be cursed. That’s because He wants the nations preserved. Again, God’s unity is a unity of diversity, not a unity of conformity that earthly men are trying to impose on the world. God’s unity will prevail, and patriotism is going to win around the world. In this way the heritage and inheritances will be preserved, national and cultural identities will be preserved and the great unity of diversity will be possible.

Once we see our purpose, we can see how the church in America has deviated from its calling and how the same thing has happened in our civil government. “We the people” are the ones who are primarily responsible for this because here, the people are the sovereign. The government of the republic is designed to be subject to us. The primary blame for having our authority usurped lies ultimately with us for allowing it to happen. The people will also be the ones who wake up and recover what has been lost.

This is a prophecy of what is coming, but it is also a forensic study of what went wrong so we can correct it and don’t keep making the same mistakes. If we do not understand this, we will fall again, because what caused the fall has not been corrected. Just as Spurgeon once said that he could find 10 men who would die for the Bible for every one who would read it, we too can find many who would die for the Constitution. Far more may have died for it than have read it.

As I shared before, our ministry lawyer took constitutional law in law school, and the class never once referred to the Constitution. The entire course was spent studying Supreme Court decisions, obviously under the delusion that the Supreme Court was the supreme law of the land and that anything it would do must be constitutional. Those who claim to be “constitutional lawyers” can be the most ignorant of what is actually in the Constitution. When a politician today says something is constitutional, you can almost be sure that it is not. When they claim something is not constitutional, you can almost be sure it is.

That is how twisted things have become and why the Lord’s first warning about these times was, “Do not be deceived.” Deception is far more common than truth today. This is why things reported in the media are now more likely to be false or at least distorted. Why is this? You can also now count on the same from most of the pulpits in the American church. The message of the typical American church today would be unrecognizable to the apostles of the first century.

The disconnect from truth has come the same way in the media that it has in the church. Of course, this is not true in every church or the entire media. It’s easy to see in the media how there is now a tendency to report what they want to be true rather than what is true. Is that not how we have changed the gospel, the church and even our concept of God into what we want them to be rather than how they are?

One of the basic characteristics of true humility is being teachable and responsive enough to change or to expand our concepts and beliefs. This too is repentance, and it is coming.

Work Out Your Salvation
When you make Jesus the Lord of your life, some things will change in you immediately, and other things will be worked out over time. You may have addictions or sickness that you are instantly freed from, but yet, you may have wrong attitudes or other areas that are still in the process of changing. That’s because God is doing both a work in you and a work with you. He reveals His power to us and then gives us the opportunity to work with Him in the process of restoring and renewing our lives. You work out your salvation by obeying His Word and surrendering every area of your life to Him. You are working out your salvation when you choose to do the right thing, even when it’s difficult. You are working out your salvation when you stand strong and resist temptation. Remember, God is the one at work in you to give you the power to work out your salvation. He’s empowered you to overcome every obstacle! Keep dealing with the issues He brings up and keep a good attitude, fighting through until you win the victory!

A Prayer for Today
“Heavenly Father, thank You for the work You are doing in my life. I choose to work with You so that I can live the life of victory You have prepared. Help me to be an example of Your love and faithfulness. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.”

My Thoughts:
Actually Philippians 2:12 goes like this in the Amplified Bible:  ¹² So then, my dear ones, just as you have always obeyed [my instructions with enthusiasm], not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence, continue to work out your salvation [that is, cultivate it, bring it to full effect, actively pursue spiritual maturity] with awe-inspired fear and trembling [using serious caution and critical self-evaluation to avoid anything that might offend God or discredit the name of Christ].

(fear here =  Holy Reverence or Great Respect)

Actually Paul here is supporting the fact that Salvation and Sanctification are a process that you began when you make Jesus LORD (ruler, king) of your life and trust HIM to forgive your sins.  The working out of this over your life time is called Sanctification or to be made HOLY.  If you have began a walk towards being like Jesus don’t get side tracked on a dead end some place and loose out.  Salvation is never a matter of “GOOD WORKS”  but if you are really saved,  that faith that brought you into salvation will also produce a change in your life into good works out of pure love for Christ Jesus as LORD.  The Holy Scriptures are the Guide Book for finding Heaven and Eternity with God.   It is our map and compass for faith, love and righteousness.  Like a good road map it is much needed as we walk through this corrupted world.  God entrusted the world to Adam,  Adam got coned out of it by lucifer,  Jesus called lucifer the god of this world and came to buy it back and give us all the opportunity of redemption.  “But straight it the way and narrow is the way to eternal life and few there be that find it.”  If you are on the “WAY” with the Holy Spirit you are indeed blessed.  But take care to keep on the “WAY” as there are many many detours all along the way that look much easier in the beginning but in the end lead a soul into the darkest of darkness and being totally alone for eternity without a body.  So choose the light and walk it out every day in Christ Jesus as LORD and you will be GOOD.  (SAVED,  REDEEMED.)

FREEDOM,     “WORTH CONSIDERING”     5/9/19    (Across my desk this morning.)

Today’s Scripture
“Pray for us, too, that God will give us many opportunities to speak about His mysterious plan concerning Christ. That is why I am here in chains.”  (Colossians 4:3, NLT)

Put It Into Action
Paul was writing these words while he was in chains in prison. He was arrested for preaching the gospel. Everything in his surroundings shouted “limitations,” but instead of looking at his surroundings, Paul kept his eyes on the limitless God. He kept looking for the open door of opportunity that God would have for him next. Since he couldn’t go out and speak publicly, Paul thought, “No problem. I’ll start writing.” He wrote book after book, almost half of the books of the New Testament, much of it from a prison cell. They thought they were stopping him, but they were doing just the opposite, causing his voice to become amplified. Here we are some 2,000 years later, and we still feel Paul’s influence. When doors look closed all around you, when your surroundings look limited, when you feel like you’re in chains, remember, God is still at work in your life. Keep expecting. Keep believing. Pray for opportunities to be opened to you. The prayer of the righteous avails much, so keep praying because He promises to break the chains and open doors of opportunity in your life.

A Prayer for Today
“Father in heaven, I choose to take my eyes off my surroundings and focus on You. I choose to focus on the passion and dream You’ve planted in my heart. I trust that You are working behind the scenes, opening doors of opportunity. In Jesus’ Name. Amen”

My Thoughts:
Even in a Roman Jail, Paul used his freedom to great advantage.  Personally, I even found Christ through Paul’s words in 1 Cor. 3:11-15 in understanding the Divine logic of how that salvation was by faith in the foundation of Christ Jesus and not the works of my hands or in my own life.  Even today a great many souls are betting to go to heaven because they are “GOOD PEOPLE”  But in the Book of Romans one of the first things that Paul shares with us is that this is not true:  Romans:3:22-34:   Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:   For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;  ²⁴ Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.   And Jesus confirmed this in John 14:6:   Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
