If the Bible is read correctly Science and earth’s Creation Do not conflict.
Original earth
The original world and the cause of its fall is not directly stated in the Bible, however, it is found indirectly in many passages.
The Old Testament speaks throughout of many evil spirits and in the New Testament we encounter many of them. Where did they come from?
The Bible does not tell us of the creation of angels, even though angels are mentioned throughout the Bible. Since angels are not mentioned in the six days of making the earth and the emergence of the spiritual man and the forming of the earthly body of man from dust; we must assume that these supernatural beings were not created at this time. One possible answer is that they were creatures from some earlier created earth.
In Genesis the third chapter, we see Satan as a serpent, being the tempter of Adam and Eve.
These two situations in the Garden of Eden did not co-exist or happen at the same time.
In Adam and Eve's Eden, Satan had already fallen.
The Garden of Eden spoken of in Ezekiel must have existed before the Garden of Eden where Adam and Eve fell to the power of sin. Therefore, the first Garden of Eden must have belonged to the former world, not to the present world.
Before Lucifer's fall he was the archangel and was called the Day Star, the Son of the Morning.
After his fall he was called Satan, which means the adversary. Ezekiel 28:12,13 states, that Satan the archangel was full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. This was the archangel's condition prior to sin. He was higher than all the other angels. He was in Eden, the Garden of God and every precious stone was his covering. (Ezekiel 28:13-19)
If this interpretation of Ezekiel 28 is correct, we can see God placed Satan in the Garden of Eden, a garden far more ancient and superior to that Eden of Adam's time. It might have looked something like what the future Jerusalem will look like. The fall of Satan must have effected the earth or helped to turn it into waste and void.
These fallen angels fell into sin with Satan, and they must now be the powers and principalities, this world's rulers of darkness and the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heaven’s. (Ephesians 6:12) These angels seem not to be des-embodied demons. They have instead a spiritual body, for the Lord reveals to us the fact that in the resurrection people will be as angels in heaven. (Mark 12:25)
Satan’s other order of subjects are the evil spirits or demons. The Bible tells us of the place of detention for evil spirits. This place is called the abyss. This term is evidently applied to a fire hollow in the center of the earth as well as the depths of the sea.
Science tells us that the earth is not made of solid earth, but rather they compare the solid portion of the earth as a thin layer similar to an apple peel or skin in relation to the apple. This abyss spoken of in Revelation 20:3 is most likely in the sea. According to the Greek Septuagint (Greek translation of the New Testament) the Old Testament Hebrew word translated deep in Genesis 1:2 is the same word translated abyss in the Greek New Testament.
The earth was turned into waste and void so that the whole earth was covered with water and became a deep sea. How natural for the spirits of those fallen angels to be shut in the depths of the sea.
When God restored the earth on the third day, evidently Satan and his fallen angels were released. This must have been God's plan to test the free will of God's newly created man and woman. He commanded the land to appear out of the waters, and called the gathering together of the waters of making the sea. This dry land, the earth was ready for men of the new world.
Revelations 20:13 says, the sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and hades gave up the dead that were in them.
It can be understood how death and hades will give up the dead, yet if the sea gives up the dead that have died at sea why does not the earth give up those that have been buried in the earth?
The Bible does not say that the earth must give up the dead.
From this we see what the sea gives up surely must be the bodies of dead people, but the spirits already shut within it.
The Bible indicates human souls are kept in death and hades, but never suggests that human souls are kept in the sea.
It appears to this author that there must be a case made for a pre-adamic race. My thinking is that perhaps there are three separate groups.
First Satan.
Secondly his angels which fell with him and
Thirdly, evil spirits which were given human type bodies to inhabit the created earth.
In the book of Job, the Sons of God are seen with the creator before the fall, they are spoken of again in Genesis six where they came together with the daughters of men. Their progeny resulted in giants that were in the land.
The character and desire of demons is to indwell human bodies.
It seems reasonable that God may have first given them bodies and then destroyed them because of Satan's sin and their allegiance to Satan. When they were living their dwelling place may have been the world which Satan formerly governed.
Restoring the earth in 6 days
In the beginning God created a perfect world but due to the sin of Satan the earth came under God's judgment and was made waste and void. As Job states in Job 38:7. the earth was originally so glorious and beautiful that the morning stars sang together and the Sons of God shouted for joy. The Bible does not state the course the earth took from here to becoming waste and void.
The book of Job has reference to the Lord shaking the earth out of her place and the pillars tremble; that commandeth the sun and it riseth not and sealeth up the stars. (Job 9:4-7) We can see evidence of such an event in the earth today, the axis of the earth is not lined up with the magnetic poles of the earth.
The Bible does not say God created light on the first day, it merely records that God commanded light to shine.
This light did not come from the sun, it must have come from the original heaven which God had created in the beginning. This again proves that our present world is but a restored world.
This may have been when God judged satan and the world under his rule.
Not only was the earth shaken, even the heavens were effected. Under the judgment of God, the sun did not rise and stars were sealed up with the result that the whole world was plunged into utter darkness.
Perhaps, because there was no sunlight, and no heat, it was at that time that the earth entered into the ice age. Only when God decided to restore the earth did the spirit of God move upon the face of the water, that is to say, upon the face of the deep or utter darkness.
Job 9:8-1= speaks of God’s restoring work. When we read "stretched ou the heavens" we see the work which God did on the second day. God made the firmament to divide the waters above and beneath it. The word used is maketh, not create, since God was not creating these stars but was merely remaking what he had already formerly created. To say "sealeth the stars" indicates were already there the first day.
First Day, Genesis 1:3-5.
"And God said let there be light, and there was light. And God saw light, that it was good and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light day and the darkness night. And the evening and the morning were the first day."
Genesis is not a book of science, but it is not against science and it does not contain any scientific error. Modern man knows that there are other light sources other than the sun.
Light is a kind of energy which comes from unknown sources and produces some sort of unimaginable agitation in the ether which surrounds the universe. Though science may not tell us the source of this energy, faith knows and understands that when God said, "Let there be Light", that there was light indeed.
The Bible does not say that on the first day God created light. But God said, "Let there be Light". Before light was restored, God had confined the darkness to a specific area; the darkness was upon the face of the deep". This implies that the earth was like a black hole that light could not penetrate. Darkness in the universe seems to be limited to specific areas. So when God said, "Let there be Light", he only commanded light to appear to the darkness upon this earth.
At the time Moses wrote the book of Genesis, science had no knowledge of any source of light except the sun. Yet, Moses recorded the fact of God calling for light before he called for the sun.
Unless he was inspired by the Holy Spirit, how could he have ever written so accuratly.
The second Day, Genesis 1:6-8.
"And God said, let there be a firmament in the midst of the water and let it divide the waters from the waters. And God made the firmament and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. And God called the firmament heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
On the second day, God once more gave his order. He put the firmament in the air so as to divide the waters from the waters. He separated the waters under the firmament from the waters above the firmament.
This is the effectiveness of the atmosphere. It divides the waters which were under the firmament. This is the effectiveness of the atmosphere. It divides the waters above and beneath it, and yet it transfuses from liquid to gas and from gas to liquid. The firmament can contain moisture that can hang over us. It is not a solid reservoir which stores the waters in the sky since the "birds fly above the earth in the open firmament of the heaven". Genesis 1:20
"And God called the firmament heaven". This heaven is different from the heavens mentioned in verse one. In verse one the word heavens points to the universe and its fullness, whereas the word heaven here refers only to the air or atmosphere above the earth. The heavens mentioned in the first verse have never been corrupted; only the earth and its celestial bodies were changed due to God's judgment.
In the work of restoring the earth, God pronounced each days work as good, except the second day.
He did not pronounce the days work good because the firmament or air is some what related to Satan. Satan is the prince of the powers of the air." (Ephesians 2:2) The demons under him are called "The spiritual host of wickedness in the heavenly places." (Ephesians 6:12) Seeing that this firmament would be the habitation of Satan and his evil spirits, God did not sum up the day's work as being good.
When God divided the waters above and beneath the firmament these wicked beings may have had the opportunity of escaping out of the deep abyss at the moment of the lifting of waters into the air where the prince dwelt. The air has become the headquarters for the kingdom of darkness. While we are meeting or praying, we need to ask God to clear the air, binding Satan and all his hosts by the blood and the name of Jesus Christ.
The Third Day. Genesis 1:9-13
"And God said, Let the waters under heaven be gathered together unto one place and let the dry land appear: and it was so. And God called the dry land earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he seas; and God saw that it was good. And God said, let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself upon the earth; And the earth brought forth grass and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: And God saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the third day.
Even though the waters had been divided above and beneath the firmament, the earth at this point was still covered with water. There was yet no dry ground. On the third day, therefore, God once again commanded, this time saying, "Let the waters under the heavens to gather unto one place and the dry land appear and it was so.
By this we know that the land was already there, except that it was buried beneath the many waters and needed only to appear. God did not say, let the dry land be created out of nothing, rather, he ordered the waters to recede to a certain place so that the land might appear.
The earth emerged from out of the waters, both the Bible and science confirm this. Geology fully agrees with this fact. We are told that the geological strata were long ago formed in the waters. When the land came out of the waters, there were no trees nor grass upon it. God, decorated the land with grass and fruit trees.
The Fourth Day. Genesis 1:14-19
And God said, let there be lights in the firmament of heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be signs and for seasons, and for days and years. And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth; and it was so. And God made two great lights, the greater light to rule by day, and the lesser light to rule by night: he made the stars also. And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth. And to rule over the day and over the night and to divide the light from the darkness; and God saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
On the fourth day, God repaired the celestial bodies because the terrestrial conditions were by this time restored.
On the first day, he had called forth light to shine; but on this day he made lights.
The light on the first day, already divided night from day. The function of the lights was also to divide night from day so there is a similarity in function between the light of the first day and the lights of the fourth day.
On the fourth day God made lights or light holders to contain the light. as our earth rotates in relation to these light holders, the sun and moon, they serve "for signs and for seasons and for days and years.
The Bible does not say that God created the sun because it had been created in the beginning, here it was merely repaired. It was as if our galaxy came out of darkness, a black hole, the first day and on the fourth day.
On the fourth day God made lights or light holders to contain the light. As our earth rotates in relation to these light holders, the sun and moon, they serve for signs and for seasons and for days and years.
The book of Job may indicate that the stars were not created at this time, but already existed. Job says the morning stars sang together when the earth was in the making. (Job 38:4-7) On the fourth day God was merely making an adjustment allowing the brilliance of the stars to appear, which he had created before.
The Fifth Day. Geneses 1:20-23
"And God said, let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and foul that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged foul after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters of the seas and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day."
On the fifth day God prepared and created living things to inhabit the earth which was already restored.
"Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven." This was God's command, which represented his thought. "And God created the great sea monsters and every creature that moveth, wherewith the waters swarmed, and every winged bird flew." This shows how God created them out of nothing.
Science informs us that living creatures existed in the waters before they appeared on the land. Aquatics are the earliest species of such living creatures. The statements in the Bible and science are much in agreement.
The Sixth Day. Geneses 1:24-31
"And God said, let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping things and beasts of the earth after his kind: and it was so. And God made the beast of the earth after his kind and cattle after their kind and everything that creepeth upon the earth after his kind; and God saw that it was good. And God said let us make man in our image after our likeness and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the air and over the cattle and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them and God said unto them, be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth and subdue it: And have dominion over the fowl of the air and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
And God said, behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of the earth and every tree in which is the fruit of tree yielding seed, to you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to everything that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. And God saw everything that he had made and behold it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day."
On the sixth day man was created. He was created according to God's image. In the first chapter of Geneses it mentions simply the creation of man to indicate his position among the created beings. In chapter two the origin of man is described in detail to indicate his relationship with God.
Geneses 1:26 says, "And God said, let us make man in our image, after our likeness." The word us reveals the plurality of the Godhead while the word make shows the unity of God's will.
God formed man out of the dust, breathed his spirit of life into him and gave him a soul or personality. Although the Bible never plainly says that God is triune, there are many proofs and hints to support this truth.
The doctrine of the trinity is a major teaching of the Bible.
Notice the man was "created" by God. He has not evolved from the lower animals. The word created means calling into being from nothing. This is a distinct act of God and not the result of natural evolution. The Bible never endorses the theory of evolution, which remains forever only a theory.
Each and every species, the herbs, the trees, sea monsters, winged birds, the beasts of the earth, the cattle and everything that creepeth upon the ground was created after his kind.
The phrase "after its kind" at least states that all were created after their own kind. God has clearly ordained the boundary of each kind. There is no possibility of one kind evolving into another kind. Not only is it impossible for a plant to become an animal, it is also impossible for one species of plant to become another species of plant or one species of animal to become another species of animal.
God's Sabbath. Geneses 2:1-3
"Thus the heavens and the earth were finished and all the hosts of them. And the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it, because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
On the seventh day God finished his work and rested. With respect to the six preceding days, it was always recorded that "there was evening and there was morning." On the seventh day, the day of rest, there is no such record. After God had finished his work he rested in the eternal day which is always day and never night. This rest is a type of eternal rest in which all who labor with God shall rest eternally.
God's rest signifies God's satisfaction. As he looked at what he had made and saw that all of it was very good. He was satisfied.
This is a statement of my present Understanding.

Dear Readers and Agents:
This gentleman is one of the most educated men of Scripture since my days at seminary. And Gary you hit the mark on the Greek and the Garden issues. I have a lot of talks about carbon dating and other issues to date all kinds of things. It is a shame that people think you have to be brainless to believe. It is true that the just shall live by faith but I enjoy science because, it in itself just proves the work of a creater and a first cause.
Study the design of Hemotology (human blood),it did not just craw out of the ocean. The human body is a grand design job and not ameba off of Mars.

My understanding of photosynthesis WAS that it needed the night and day divided before it can occur, which verse 14 dividing the night and day would need to occur before vs 11 and 12
14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
After more research I realized that that was INCORRECT The two phases of photosynthesis are light dependent and light independent. They are the results, not of light and day but the concentration of O2 in the plant cell. Resperation starts to occur when the o2 concentration is high not when it becomes dark.
In photosynthesis, the light-independent reactions, also somewhat misleadingly called the dark reactions (they don't require darkness, but they do require the products of the light reactions), are chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and other compounds into glucose. It occurs in the stroma, the fluid filled area of a chloroplast outside of the thylakoid membranes. These reactions, unlike the light-dependent reactions, do not need light to occur; hence the term dark reactions. These reactions take the products of the light-dependent reactions and perform further chemical processes on them. There are two light-independent reactions: carbon fixation and the Calvin-Benson cycle.
However in CAM (Crassulacean acid metabolism) plants, carbon fixation actually does take place at night.
Further photosenthsis can occur in algea

____________my response to Michael
Hi Michael,
Thank you for your e-mail. I am not sure if I can answer your question, and i am not sure I understand it.
Genesis 1:9-13
9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. 10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good. 11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, F3 the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. 12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. 13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.
I believe the seed of grass was already imbedded in the soil when the earth was completely covered with water because of the earth being restored one or more times. It would seem to me that Light other than the sun would also have energy and the ability to make things grow.
This is a statement of my present understanding and if I see some thing that is different and seems to line up with reason science and scripture. I will consider that I have learned something new.
God Bless you,
Gary Larrabee

We are in a war greater than the visible wars we see
Posted By: GLarrabee
Date: Saturday, 29 September 2007, 12:33 a.m.
We can take control of the forces around us by using the Keys to the Kingdom of God
We Are The Army of God and His Righteousness
We are in a war greater than the visible wars we see in Afghanistan or in the Middle East. We are in a war that involves all the forces of heaven and earth. This is a spiritual war between the forces of good and evil. The war has switched from a war in heaven to a war on earth. This is a gorilla war taking place inside of every nation, inside of every city, and inside of every family upon the earth. The war is a war where the forces of evil are using mind control. This is a spiritual war where the enemy is spiritual beings of every type. The evidence we see ranges between all types of Aliens, Shadow People, and even satan and all the fallen angels including all evil spirits.
We are involved in the final war before the Kingdom of God appears on this earth. We are seeing the fulfillment of the Prophecies of the book of Revelation being fulfilled in and through us. The strategy of the enemy is to blind us so that we cannot see that we are being controlled into thinking that we are not really involved but only spectators to the scenes we see in the media and on television of the wars and rumors of wars we see happening now upon the earth.
Satan and his forces have been cast out of heaven and are now upon the earth in fulfillment of Revelation 12.
The Man-Child is coming forth. The Man-Child is a corporate man of both sex’s man and woman made up of many people of all nations and nationalities of people coming out of every religion and belief system. The Man-Child is now being formed by the people rising up spiritually under the leadership of God almighty.
The Manchild is not Christ in the personal sense but the Corporate Christ made up of his believers listening to and being led by Christ himself.
The Man-Child is not any organization or special group of people that can be recognized Most of this group of people are looked down upon because of their nothingness. They have no Political or financial clout, nor do they seek any recognition for themselves. Many are considered out casts or losers who will never amount to anything in the world view. These are wounded and broken people who have given up on the world, but have taken on new power and authority with the God of heaven and earth through taking up the cross and becoming a member of the Over Comers.
Read as John describes the events of taking place upon the earth today. John sees these events take place in Heaven in the spiritual realm. The reason is for this is that things happen spiritually first and then manifest themselves as events that take place on the Earth. The earth seems to be the stage or the arena of the playing out the events that have been fought over spiritually between the forces of good and evil. There seems to be a dual relation-ship where the events on earth are ruled by the events taking place in the Heavens.
First John sees a woman as the symbol of the followers of the Lord Jesus Christ. The 12 stars seem to represent the 12 tribes of Israel and the 12 apostles who represented each of the 12 tribes in the sense of being a picture of the re-uniting of all the tribes of Israel. Peter James and John may be Judah, Benjamin and Levi. The other Apostles may symbolize the Lost Tribes of Israel. In this generation we will see the fulfillment to Israel and Judah being reunited in bringing Christianity and Judaism together as the full house of Israel.
Revelation 12:
1. And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
2. And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
We see the battle on earth taking place as we see the New World Order as being the 10 nations with 7 leaders making up the ruler-ship. The 7 heads are probably the 7 nations with the Central Banking systems that seem to be what is being fought over in this war against terrorism. Just as satan was cast out of Heaven with the 10 horns and the 7 heads the New World Order will also be destroyed in this generation upon the earth.
3. And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
Here we see the magnitude of the battle that is taking place. We are seeing the New World Order as Babylon built upon the 7 mountains which are the 7 central banks that control world finances. We see from these scriptures that the New World order is the plan of satan from the beginning. Babylon will fall and will be cast from this earth and along with satan into the Lake of fire.
4. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
We see the timing of the Man-Child being brought forth at the same time satan is cast from Heaven. The Man-Child that will rule the Kingdom of God to be brought forth in this generation with a rod of iron, under the designated authority of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Man-Child being caught up unto God and his throne may or may not mean a physical rapture at this time. It may have a spiritual meaning of total submission or abiding in Christ and in his presence spiritually as he lives his life in the Man-child ruling the Kingdoms of this earth.
5. And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.
All believers will be driven underground spiritually and will be inter-netted in the cities, mountains and in the wilderness protected from the evil forces of satan and the New World Order. The Over-Comers will be engaged in spiritual battle setting up the Plumb Line Standard of Letting Jesus Christ be the head of his Spiritual Army.
6. And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
The war in Heaven has already taken place and is evidenced in many ways upon the earth today. Evil Spirits are manifesting themselves in the animal kingdom as we see wild animals and sharks attaching and killing people. We see the increase in Alien and UFO activity, We see the increase in terrorism and even the manifestation of satan in the smoke of the explosion at the impact of the airplane flying into the World trade Center; We see the increase in all forms of evil spirits satan worship and occult activity. It appears that satan was cast upon the earth about the time of the change into the new millennium, about January 2000.
7. And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
8. And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
9. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
We must now look beyond the evil and see that this is a wonderful and victorious time for the people of this earth. A time when evil is being cast from the earth. This is the time that we are given salvation and strength and even the power of Christ as we go forth in the name of Jesus Christ to fulfill his word and do his will.
10. And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
We are the Over Comers as we become the Army of God using the Weapon of God. We defeat satan and all his forces including the New World Order with the Blood of the Lam of God and the Word of Our Testimony and having No Fear of Death.
11. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
This is the time to be joyful and of good cheer for all of us that are spiritual residents of heaven because we are born again as believers in Jesus Christ. We live on earth physically as foreign ambassadors to fulfill the mission we have been sent to fulfill.
The battle is short now and we are winning.
12. Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
The underground body of believers making up the body of the Lord Jesus Christ will suffer persecution and some will be put to death, but by abiding in Christ and trusting totally many will be saved. It will appear that there is no hope and total destruction is at the door but the terror will pass over, over, and over. In the end they will be saved.
13. And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
I believe the woman represents the body of believers of all faiths who are saved but not part of the kingdom of ruler-ship. The members of God’s body known as the over-comers are not the physically strong with man made weapons but are those who know how to use spiritual weapons.
It seems there will be a great supernatural event that will take the people of God who are not the over-comers into the wilderness as if on the wings of a great eagle. This may be aircraft, helicopters or something supernatural. They will be hidden for three and one half years.
14. And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
There will be a super-storm a flood that will appear to be ready to wipe out the lives of all believers and then the water will disappear into the ground as the earth swallows it up.
15. And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
16. And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
After this the battle changes and satan goes after all those upon the earth coming out of the world system. Those that are being evangelized are turned on spiritually, to serving the Lord with all their hearts body and soul. They will over-come the enemy by their testimony even unto death, knowing that death is nothing but graduation.
17. And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
We of this generation are to be used of God to bring forth the Kingdom of God on earth.
This is not being done by mere man, but by men abiding in Christ. This is being done through men being submissive to the leading and directing of the Lord. This is the stone cut out of the mountain without hands described by Daniel.
Daniel 2:44,45
44. And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
45. Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain with out hands, and the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain and the interpretation thereof sure.
We are a chosen generation. We are here on a mission.
The Lord is bringing us together as vessels to accomplish his will in bringing forth the Kingdom of God.
The Lord is going to do something through us even greater than what he did in the past bringing his people out of Egypt into the Promised Land.
This is the promised Kingdom on earth that covers the entire earth.
When we as the Body of Jesus Christ come into unity and let JESUS BE THE HEAD OF HIS BODY, we will receive the anointing of the righteous Branch abiding in the Vine.
Isaiah 10:27
27. And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.
Yes he is doing it through his people the same way he did it as He used Moses, as his right hand. We are his stretched out arm to fulfill this Bible Prophecy.
Jeremiah 23:5-8
5. Behold the days come, saith the Lord, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice on the earth.
6. In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS,
7. Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that they shall no more say, The Lord liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
8. But, The Lord liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.
This will be the Lord's conquest as he uses his people who hear his voice and becomes vessel with the anointing to break yokes and bondage.
All the honor and the Glory will be given to the Father as the Body of Christ declares that, We come in the name of The Lord Our Righteousness.
Ezekiel 20:33,34
33. As I live saith the Lord God, surely with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out, will I rule over you:
34. And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out.
Yes, we the believers in Jesus Christ whether we are Pentacostle’s, Baptists, Jews, Moslems, Catholics, Hindus, Seventh Day Adventists, or Mormons, by label, we will come into unity. We will all come into total submission letting Jesus be the head of his body.
In unity as a single person we will be his Branch. We will be all of one mind and accord as The Bible addresses us, as a single person.
Isaiah 11:1
1. And there shall come forth a Rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots.
Jesus is the root, the rod, the vine. Jesus, the Rod, comes forth out of the stem, lineage of Jesse, David’s father. And we are the Branch, coming forth from the Rod, as followers of Jesus Christ.
The battle will be the battle of evangelism, of creating new believers to join the ranks of battle by giving up their ego’s and individuality in all things to be come one with all believer under the head and ruler-ship of Jesus Christ.
Each one will possess and use the Keys to the Kingdom of God, the power and the authority to bind all satanic forces and to cast them down under their feet in the name of Jesus Christ. They will use these spiritual key’s to open up the treasures of heaven and earth to be used in the Kingdom of God.
The unity message will go world wide and the power will get greater and greater as more people abide in Christ in total submission and join the ranks of the over-comers until satan and the New World Order is destroyed and cast into the Lake of Fire. This unity will take place over the entire earth.
This will be happening until all the seventh seal and the seven trumpet judgments are fulfilled and the Kingdoms of this earth become the Kingdoms of our God and his Christ.
This work is the work of an army, the army of God. Each one of us need to be properly equipped under the anointing.
Ephesians 6:10-18
10. Finally my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11. Put on the whole armour of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers of darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all stand.
14. Stand therefore, having your loins gird about with truth, and having on the breast plate of righteousness.
15. And your feet shod with the preparation of the Gospel of peace.
16. Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17. And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God.
We have the keys to the kingdom of heaven. We have the keys to bring forth the Kingdom of God upon the earth. The Lord is now revealing the mystery.
Ephesians 1:9,10.
9. Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself.
10. That in the dispensation of the fullness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth; even in him.
We as the body of Christ have power of the stone. To build the house of God stone by stone. As individual stones we are responsible, each one of us, to use the key God has given each one of us.
As you now read this next verse take this as a personal message and a calling to you giving you all the power and authority in heaven.
Matthew 16:19
19. Soon I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
THE KEY TO UNDERSTANDING WHAT THE KEYS TO THE KINGDOM REALLY ARE.
The Lord says I will give you the keys to the kingdom. Now the Lord explains the key and the power of the keys. The key is the power and the anointing given to each member of the body.
The power to bind and loosen the powers on earth and the power of the principalities and the powers of heaven.
We have the keys to the kingdom.
The power to bind or release all the powers of heaven or earth. This is not an individual power to bind all the powers upon earth or in heaven. This is power given to each person to bind or release the powers of his life and purpose in taking upon himself the anointing given to carry out his individual purpose, or calling, of God.
Believers all over the earth have these powers. This power is increased as people join together as groups pray and agree together.
The problem today is there are many individual groups separating themselves because of some label or specific doctrine that is emphasized. These divisions leave a lot of room for dissension and disputes that take away our prayer power because of disunity.
By coming together stone upon stone the spiritual temple is being structured and the corporate anointing to become God's Branch is taking place.
