God’s Plan for Mankind
God’s plan for Mankind
God created life to coexist with Him in a paradise.
The plan was to give human beings an eternal paradise in which to live, a material existence made up of the earth, as it was in the days of Adam.
A paradise covered with forests filled with animals, producing thousands of different fruits, berries, nuts and herbs for everyone to eat.
Forests watered by a mist all day long, instead of clouds and storms, with a perfect climate everywhere for all to enjoy.
An ocean teeming with fish and plant life, and the sky covered by millions of species of birds, all co-existing with each other, all living in peace and harmony for eternity without shame, guilt, sickness, pain, torment, punishment or death.
The first phase
God creating us as living spirits is the first phase of God’s plan. This phase lasted billions of years while the universe was being created for the new living creatures.
During this time, life existed and flourished in the spiritual world of non-existing matter.
The second phase
The creation of the physical universe was the second phase of God’s plan. The Universe paralleled the spiritual world God had created. These two worlds (spiritual and physical), were created simultaneously, but as separate places.
This part of God’s plan included the birth of all spirits into a paradise known as the earth, a place of peace and harmony beyond imagination.
A place where life is the most important thing, where truth is coveted like gold, where love is the only existing concept, and all the creatures worship the One and Only God who created them.
The plan included God selecting each spirit for their birth into their own human body, with God living inside every human being.
The third phase
Testing of the spirits is the third phase of God’s Plan. God’s plan included all spirits being born into human bodies on earth.
The test is to see if they love God or not. Spirits who love God will keep His commandments. The others won’t.
God’s Plan for Mankind was a paradise in which to live, but His plan was interrupted.
The creation began with Adam and Eve in a paradise and continued for thousands, if not millions of years, before it was interrupted.
God’s plan was interrupted by satan influencing the brain of one human being named Eve. Eve, once mentally influenced, turned her charm on Adam and influenced him to break God’s commandment also.
Thus satan caused Humanity to take a detour from paradise on a new road that would lead to hell, and back to eternity again. Mankind’s new direction would now have to go through thousands of years of destruction before it could return to paradise.
The testing would be a 7,000 year period of very troublesome times filled with pain, loss and disappointments during the third phase of God’s plan.
Since eternity is forever, the amount of time it takes for God’s plan to be accomplished doesn’t matter. Yet, God knows the future and told it to us via the Bible. Therefore, we know exactly how long the journey will take to return to paradise, but whether or not we ever get there is entirely up to each and every individual.
God must punish the guilty and reward the innocent, because He is a just God. Once Mankind erred, God’s plan automatically went into effect.
A sacrificial animal offering would forestall Mankind’s destruction until a Messiah could defeat satan. A Messiah would be born into the human race.
The Messiah would be a human being who could effectively combat satan; and by winning the combat, the Messiah would become the counter-weapon used against satan’s weapon: influencing the brain of all human beings to do evil.
A good definition of evil is anything done which is in opposition to God’s commandments, which includes destroying nature and wildlife, and hurting creatures and people.
The Automatic Watchdog
In a Nutshell
When God created life, He also created an automatic system to manage and support His living spirits for eternity. The support system God created is an automatic system. It is not micro-managed by God; God does not manage it on a daily basis, nor on a yearly basis, neither does He manage it on a millennium basis, which is a 1,000 year period.
Once the automatic system was put into motion, at the end of what is known as the sixth day of creation, the automatic system continues working independently forever.
This means God is not actively working, sitting in Heaven, or somewhere in outer space, or beyond outer space, looking down on the earth, pushing buttons and pulling levers to make life operate on earth: not in our world or in the spiritual realm, which coexists with our physical world; neither is God a puppeteer pulling our strings and directing our ways, nor the strings of any living thing: even though that’s the idea you can get from reading the Bible.
The Bible describes things for us in a way that our limited human brains are able to grasp.
Everything in the universe and on earth operates on a cause and effect basis with trillions of rules governed by very complex mathematical formulas, which we call the science of physics.
All the living spirits God created were pre-programmed with the information they would need to live in the spiritual and physical worlds to which they would be subjected. This pre-programmed information is called instinct.
The spirits were also given an ability to think and decide. This ability is called free will. It simply means the freedom to want, decide, and act, in order to get what they wanted or needed to survive.
God’s automatic system was pre-programmed with all the necessary rules which would operate the cause and effect system: that is, any act that would cause a change in paradise, would automatically bring about an effect: a change or solution that would result in bringing God’s creation back to its original state. This is known as equilibrium.
Cause and effect rules include some we already discovered, such as: gravity, centrifugal force, and flight. Here is an example: A child’s toy is resting on the floor. The child picks up the toy top and spins it. The child applied a law to the top, energizing it with his strength. So, the top spins. Then another law is automatically invoked.
The spinning top is affected by friction. The heat caused by the friction of touching the floor eats up the energy the child transferred to the top.
Loss of energy results until the top begins to wobble and hits the ground sideways increasing the energy loss, resulting in all the energy being used up and the toy top lying at rest on the floor, exactly as it was before the child decided to play with it.
An automatic system that brought the toy top back into equilibrium or back to its original state. This is exactly what has happened, and is happening on earth.
When Mankind decided to play with God’s creation, the bad results received are its own fault. Physical death is the result of us losing our energy until we return to our original state: which was being spirits.
The destruction of life on earth is a fact
Life on earth will come to an end. It is a fact. It cannot be reversed, stalled, or stopped. This is why God’s automatic system also has a plan of escape for living human beings on the planet earth. It is called Salvation.
The human race is getting close to the end of the world, or rather the end of life on earth; but the end of the world comes for each individual when we physically die: and no one born, not even Jesus, could or can escape physical death, because of the automatic system God put into operation, when He created us.
The end of the world makes no difference to a person who dies physically, but the Judgment that follows physical death should concern everyone before they physically die.
The end of the world will make a difference to the people who scoffed at God and His Scriptures.
‘Judgment’ is an automatic system. It simply means, any creature that has a role in the destruction of any part of God’s creation will be judged by the automatic system. They will be convicted and punished according to the laws pre-programmed into God’s automatic system. There are three Judgments:
1) The Judgment of the spirits before the creation.
2) The Judgment when a person physically dies.
3) The Final Judgment after all life on earth ends.
When a person, city, or nation, breaks God‘s commandments long enough, the automatic system goes into Judgment mode and determines the degree of physical punishment they must receive to pay their bill. The person, city, or nation, to be punished may receive any one of numerous punishments heaped upon the human race by God.
The ultimate punishment for the people living on earth is known as God’s wrath, which is people being thrown alive into the lake of fire, which is World War.
The ultimate punishment after physical death is being cast into the Outer Darkness alone forever. This is the result of the only sin not forgiven by Jesus’ death on the cross, in this world or in the world to come, which is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. A lesser punishment for living people would result in a person being banished to the kingdom of Hell here on earth.
Other punishments are: being killed by accidents and catastrophes. The second greatest punishment after physical death is defined in paragraph ‘3′ of this Chapter. If a punishment doesn’t help the person, city, or nation to change, then God will cause the physical death of that person or people.
After physical death a person, city, or nation, is sent to the spiritual prison called Hell, where, he, she, or they, will be temporarily held and tormented as demons to pay for their crimes and sins until their trial comes up after this world ends.
If a demon repents in Hell by refusing to contradict or deny the Word of God (the Bible), they will be pardoned on the Final Judgment Day after life on earth ends.
Unfortunately
Once a spirit is in Hell, which is a spiritual prison, it is a thousand times more difficult to repent than when the person was on earth, but not impossible. The reasons it is almost impossible to repent in spiritual Hell are:
1) Since they were evil as living people, when they are demons they will have superpowers to apply their evil ways.
2) Demons are in a state of torment all the time. It is the punishment that pays for all their sins committed while alive, including rejecting God’s Word.
3) All trials for the Judgment of demonic prisoners are postponed until life on earth no longer exists.
4) The peer pressure in spiritual Hell is millions of times greater than the peer pressure that motivated them to reject God during life on earth.
5) All the above will cause some demons to contradict and deny the Word of God, which is the only sin that will not be forgiven in Hell.
Therefore, most demons will be pardoned at the end of the world and be returned to Heaven to await the resurrection of life.
Spiritual Hell is a prison. It is a holding tank where capitol offenders and minor offenders, who died with unforgiven sins on their account, are thrown together for thousands of years of suffering and torment without rest. They are in danger of the Judgment and Eternal Damnation.
God’s automatic system
God’s creation is automatic. It works on the problems caused by Mankind tampering with the earth, which has resulted in accident and loss, sickness and disease, pain and suffering, depression and torment, riot and war, catastrophe and death.
The automatic system is a perfect Nanny. It is not impersonal. It is the summation of God’s mind. His every thought compressed into an automatic system, which is also God’s Word. It is the same as God Himself watching over us and includes the interaction of other human beings as God’s watchdogs, who try to protect us. These people are known as the Ones Sent by God. They are Prophets and Apostles.
God’s automatic system can detect the slightest changes inside every human being. It can detect feelings like remorse, shame, guilt, sorrow, and it can read thoughts. It is the summation of all the rules built into the operating system of the creation. This is why people like Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein discovered some of the rules.
The rules are fixed and there are trillions of rules that operate God’s creation.
The total amount of knowledge gathered by Mankind since the beginning of time is less than a drop of water compared to all the oceans. Since it has taken Mankind over 6,000 years to gather what we now know, another thousand years is not enough time for Mankind to scratch the surface of the unknown knowledge.
God’s creation is a dual system
Everything has an opposite. This means everything in God’s creation must have an opposite. Therefore, you can’t have hot without cold; up without down; light without darkness; male without female. Since the earth is a physical or material world, every spirit would have to be born into a human body and live their lives on earth as human beings.
Since God knows everything that will take place in the future, God’s automatic system already had a solution built-in to deal with the fall of Lucifer and Mankind. This part of God’s plan is known as Salvation. It included Redemption through the animal sacrifice, repentance, and a Messiah.
This is how God could have human beings, called Prophets, write in great detail, thousands of years before it happened. The Prophets told us a Messiah would come to Israel.
The Bible Prophets also included his exact birth place, conditions of birth, information about his parents, his ancestry, and how he would die. This part of God’s salvation plan went into effect the moment Jesus was born. When Jesus died the plan was finished.
God’s Salvation plan is simple
God selected a special spirit and put that spirit into a specific man’s sperm. Then God selected another special spirit and caused the birth of a specific woman. God orchestrated conditions on earth to bring that specific man and woman together in marriage. The pregnancy caused by the marriage resulted in God’s very special spirit being born by the woman. Thus, a human male child named Jesus was born on earth, just like the rest of us.
Jesus had a mother selected by God from the tribe of Levi so Jesus would have the birthright to be the High Priest of Israel. He had a father selected by God from the tribe of Judah so Jesus would inherit the birthright to be the King of Israel. His unique birth, being both King and High Priest, entitled him to become the Messiah of Israel just as Moses predicted.
Messiah means the Anointed One by God. ‘Christ’ is the Greek interpretation of the title Messiah. Jesus was predestined to die on the cross. He was convicted of a crime he did not commit.
The crime he was accused of was claiming to be the King of Israel.
Since Jesus’ birthright gave him the right to be King of Israel, he did not break God’s Law. Therefore, he was an innocent lamb led to the slaughter. Jesus’ death on the cross resulted in two things:
1) The Holy Spirit entering every human being alive and born 50 days after he died.
2) The forgiveness of anyone’s sins, if they don’t blaspheme the Word of God, which is the Bible. Blaspheming the Word of God means contradicting or denying anything written in the Bible. This is the same sin as blaspheming the Holy Spirit. It’s that simple.
The Holy Spirit is your Conscience
All people are born with a Conscience. You do not have to say a special prayer to get a Conscience. You do have to decide to listen to its advice to retain it. If you decide not to listen to it, or decide you want it out of your life, it will cease advising you. If this happens, then you need to be Born Again to get it back.
The Born Again experience can only take place through the written Word of God (the Bible). Its concepts, statutes, and commandments, must replace the ideas and concepts you have inside your brain before you are Born Again.
This is only accomplished by you making a decision to replace the false ideals and concepts, you’ve gathered from the world, with the true ideas and concepts written in the Bible. Once you decide to accept the Bible over the world’s view, you become God’s child.
No one, not even Jesus, gets an injection of Biblical information into his or her brain. Jesus had to grow-up and learn about God from the Bible like us. Once a person is Born Again they have to maintain it, for the rest of their life, or lose the benefits promised.
God’s children must maintain their status or go back to Hell. Once a living person gives up their citizenship in God’s Kingdom and is sent back to Hell here on earth, they can never return to God’s Kingdom in this world, and will be sent to the spiritual Hell after physical death.
Once something went wrong with God’s original plan for His creation, the automatic result would be the destruction of the physical creatures responsible for it. Thus, returning them to their original state as spiritual beings, where they would be separated into two groups:
1) Those who obeyed God either accepted the advice of their Prophets, Consciences, or the Bible, whether it was audible or written, depending on their time period.
2) Those who disobeyed God rejected the advice of their Prophets, Consciences, or the Bible, whether it was audible or written, depending on their time period.
The two groups are separated forever after physical death overtakes them. The obedient children of God get the reward of being resurrected from the dead back to life on earth as it was originally intended for us.
The disobedient children of God get the reward of being sent into the Outer Darkness forever to live alone for all eternity, without God and without anyone else, demonic or otherwise.
God Knows Everything
The World God Created
The Creation is not a work in progress. It is an automatic system.
Churches teach that God interacts with the human race and world events on a daily basis, but this is wrong. It does not work that way.
The way the Bible is written seems to be telling us that God interacts with the human race on a daily basis, or from time-to-time; but thinking this is an error since God knows everything.
God finished His creation a long time ago and rested from all His works. Rested means there isn’t anything else for Him to do.
When God was creating, He built in a series of checks and balances as automatic rules or laws, such as: gravity and flight; life and death; male and female; summer and winter; good and evil. Since God knows everything, there are no surprises for Him.
We have surprises heaped upon us, but God is not surprised about anything because He is the One who has orchestrated everything concerning His creation.
God is the only One who knows the future. When God moved the ancient Prophets to write the Bible for Him, He used few words to describe Mankind’s history: past, present and future.
Notice how Jesus says so much with a few words, and when we try to explain what He said, we use volumes to express His statements. God’s vast knowledge of the future is also expressed by using as few words as possible to explain events that may take thousands of years to unfold.
Since eternity is endless, “a thousand years is as one day to the Lord”; and events that occur many times over thousands of years may be spoken about as one single event in time.
The grouping of separate events is the reason the Bible seems to be saying God is interacting with the human race on a daily basis. The key point is: God rested from all His works.
God is not personally interacting with us. Don’t panic! God has not left us to our own devices. He has not abandoned us to a random happening system, which many scientists aspire to believe.
God has prepared all things for us since the beginning, including His beloved Son Jesus, who does interact with each individual on a moment-to-moment basis.
We have not been forsaken or left alone. There is no reason for God to interact with His creation, since His automatic system takes care of us exactly the way God would do it for us, if He were still actively working with us–but He rested!
The Bible relates information, which seems to be saying: God is actively working with us. In a sense, God is interacting with us, but it is indirectly through Jesus, who is your Conscience.
The Greatest Sin
God is not a micro-manager. The greatest sin of present day Christian churches is their teachings that God is a micro-manager of the world. They teach people their God interferes routinely in the daily affairs of human beings, which is not true.
This is why the rulebook, which is the Bible, exists. God gave it to Mankind. It is our job to do what it tells us to do, and not expect God to do it for us.
Since a person can only worship God in spirit and truth, let’s deal with some truth. If God were micro-managing the world, He’s doing a lousy job because we’re losing ground.
On the seventh day God rested from all His works. What part of “…all His works” don’t Christian teachers understand? According to them, God is still working hard to make the world operate and save His children. Wrong! God rested on the seventh day, or the Bible is a liar!!
A question concerning God, war, and catastrophe, asked by people from generation-to-generation, who claim to believe in God, is ‘Why is God allowing this to happen?’ The answer is simple: war and catastrophe are the automatic results of people not believing God.
This is the reason God’s children don’t survive. God’s children are murdered and harmed from generation-to-generation by people who claim to believe in God.
Since their claim is a lie, and their acts prove them liars, and the murder of God’s children is an act demanding retribution, God’s wrath is unleashed upon people and nations, which wrath comes in the form of accidents, droughts, famines, plagues, catastrophes and wars.
“Vengeance is mine saith the Lord.”
God created everything and saw it was good. Then He rested, because there wasn’t anything else to do. What else could God do, if He did everything? The Biblical record shows people dealing with God on an everyday level. Wrong again!!
The ancient people in the Bible were not dealing with God. They were dealing with the Lord God, who was the second in command.
The Bible says no one has ever seen God or heard His voice at any time. Therefore, the ancient Biblical people were not seeing or speaking to God. They were seeing and speaking to an Ambassador whom God sent to the Human Race.
God’s automatic system is interacting with us, so we can say God is doing it for us, or God performed a miracle for us. Even though God is indirectly doing things for the human race through His automatic system, He gets the credit because God is the Creator.
Since God knows all things, He designed a perfect automatic system that already knows how to handle any and all the problems that will ever occur. His automatic system interacts with Mankind, to protect, to provide, to change, to cause, and to punish, the human race on a daily basis.
God Visits His Creation
The Bible tells us that God visits His creation–that’s us! Now, if God must visit us from time to time, and He cannot be seen by any human being, then God cannot turn Himself into a human being to visit us.
Since life depends on God being inside every living human being, and death occurs when God vacates a living human being’s body, then God cannot vacate human beings to visit us without the whole human race dying. Therefore, God doesn’t visit the earth, nor does He visit human beings, because He is already here living inside every one alive.
The visits spoken of by the Bible are explaining that God uses specific human beings, who are His Ambassadors, to visit us. The Ambassadors are the ones who visit us, and not God who is already in them and us.
Since these Ambassadors have a perfect relationship with God, these Ambassadors are used by God to communicate indirectly to us, through them. These type experiences are simply referred to in the Bible as ‘God visits us’.
If God is not managing the world on a daily basis, then we are its managers. This was the original objective designed for the Human Race. This is why God turned His earth over to Adam to manage and care for it.
The first human being was told to tend the Garden and he had control over it. Adam was also given the power to name all the animals, and we’re still naming the new ones we discover.
The most important fact is, God knows everything. He knows the beginning from the end. He views all time like a cinema film. This is how He could write down the future in a book–the Bible. Only God knows the future. Therefore, only God knows the Bible.
Time — Part 2
It took hundreds of billions of years for our planet to reach a point where it could support human life. Therefore, it will take millions of years for the planet earth to reach that point again.
The amount of ‘Time’ it takes to rebuild the earth as a paradise doesn’t matter, if you’re asleep. The Bible explains that people who believe God will be sleeping in Jesus during that period.
While God’s children are sleeping they will not feel the millions of years passing, any more than you feel the 8 hours passing during the night when you are asleep.
If you are one of the people who will be resurrected back to life on earth, you’ll be soundly asleep during the millions of years necessary for the planet to rebuild itself.
God must shorten the ‘Time’. Remember, once ‘Time’ was instituted it must come to an end so the planet can return to its original eternal system again.
Physical life and ‘Time’ are not interrelated. We can exist as eternal physical beings in a material world.
‘Time’ was God’s way of reducing the damage human beings can accomplish. This is also why God reduced human life to a maximum span of 1,000 years in Adam’s time, and reduced Man’s life span in the time of Noah to a maximum of 120 years.
A new earth will rise again. When the necessary amount of ‘Time’ has passed to rebuild the earth, you will wake up from your long sleep and find yourself back on earth. You will be alive in your own body again.
No! You will not remember anything about the millions of years you were asleep, nor will you remember what took place while you were alive on earth before you physically died; but you will be with the same people you once loved, if they were obedient children of God.
Our new life will not resemble our previous life on earth. Life will be as it was originally intended before Adam and Eve disobeyed God; but Lucifer (satan) and his fallen angels (demons) will no longer be on earth to interfere with human brains or cause destruction, pain, and physical death again.
They have to spend eternity in the outer darkness; each spirit will be alone forever. They will never be allowed to experience the joy of sharing anything with another spirit. This is the ultimate punishment.
Time and science
The Bible agrees with science. The earth being over 400 billion years old does not cancel out the fact that human beings have only been on earth for a short ‘Time’. A Million years is a very short ‘Time’ compared to the age of our planet, and is practically non-existent compared to eternity.
The Biblical teaching that Adam and Eve were created a little over 6,000 years ago is an error. The 6,061 years that have passed since Adam and Eve only refers to the moment when ‘Time’ began. It is the ‘Time’ span after they committed the first sin, which is when ‘Time’ began being recorded, to the present age.
There is no record of how long they were alive prior to that sin. The Bible tells us that the length of life wasn’t as short as it is today. Since Adam lived nearly a thousand years after their life span was shortened, they could have been 10,000 years old or even millions of years old prior to their first sin.
Adam’s lifespan was reduced to 930 years after the first sin. This was the result of having disobeyed God’s commandment.
Human beings became so evil within the 1,656 years that passed from Adam’s first sin to Noah completing the ark, that God shortened the life-span of human beings once again. This time He shortened it to 120 years right after the flood.
Once again, the length of life was shortened as a result of sin. The world is still increasing its volume and intensity of sin. The result is a shorter life-span. Now the average human life-span is 70 to 80 years.
The Biblical account of Adam and Eve is only telling us that Adam and Eve were responsible for ‘Time’ beginning on earth, which occurred a little over 6,000 years ago. ‘Time’ beginning means ‘Time’ did not exist prior to 6,000 years ago.
This means Mankind did not begin counting or recording ‘Time’ prior to 6,000 years ago. All this is important because a person can only worship God in spirit and truth.
Therefore, if we believe a lie about ‘Time’ or Adam, it will cancel out our ability to worship God. It is not the telling of lies that counteracts worshipping God. It is the belief of a lie that counteracts worshipping God.
Time – archeological evidence
Prior to the creation of Adam, Genesis Chapter 1 tells us God made Mankind (men and women) on the sixth day. On the seventh day it says God rested. Then the account of Adam takes place, which has no ‘Time’ frame connected to it. Therefore, the ‘Time’ span between God creating Adam, and Adam sinning could have been millions of years.
Foot print evidence exists in stone. It was found in the 1970’s in Texas. Construction workers unearthed a petrified river bed that contained about twenty sets of human footprints chasing a dinosaur’s footprints. Pretty hard evidence to explain away, since scientists continue to claim Dinosaurs and Mankind were separated by millions of years.
This means dinosaurs and mankind lived side-by-side, and the men were chasing the dinosaur; not the other way around. So who ate whom?
Since scientific abilities include dating bones, and we have the bones of dinosaurs, we can conclude Man and dinosaurs co-existed millions of years ago.
This does not eliminate Adam as being the first Man a little over 6,000 years ago, but shows us that Adam was God’s second creation of human beings, who were different than the prior people born on earth.
Adam’s difference was that his spirit was faithful to God prior to his creation.
The Bible also talks about dinosaurs existing in the ‘Time’ of Job, a man that lived many centuries after Adam. A well-described dinosaur named Leviathan is used as an argument to show us the incredible strength of God.
Some Biblical scholars attempt to spin the truth about Leviathan by claiming it was a whale. Read the 41st Chapter of Job yourself and see what it says to you. It describes Leviathan as a huge creature that cannot be harmed with barbs or spears of metal. Whales can be killed with harpoons, which are a type of spear.
Leviathan had scales so tightly fit together that air could not get between them. Whales do not have scales. Leviathan was so frightening that people would drop dead at the mere sight of it. People pay to go whale watching.
Leviathan is described as a creature that a Maiden would not dare play with like a bird. Yet, there are documented films of women playing with whales underwater.
Leviathan is a creature whose breath was so hot it could kindle a fire. This does not sound like a whale! Whales don’t have hot breath. Therefore, we also have Biblical evidence adding to the archeological evidence that Man and dinosaur lived together at the same ‘Time’; but this wasn’t what God was protecting Adam from outside the Garden.
Time – the automatic system
Adam and Eve were not created 6,000 years ago; neither were Adam and Eve the first human beings on earth. They were the first human beings on earth created with a living spirit.
Adam and Eve were created as human beings thousands of years prior to their act of disobedience. Logic dictates, if God reduced the length of Adam and Eve’s life spans to 1,000 years, then their life spans were much longer than 1,000 years before they sinned. The Bible is only telling us that their act of disobedience is what caused the automatic countdown to the destruction of Mankind.
The automatic countdown is known as ‘Time’. It cannot be stopped. It is an automatic countdown to the end of the world as we now know it. Mankind will automatically self-destruct so the earth can rebuild itself. The new earth and its creatures will remain in harmony forever. This is known as the resurrection of life.
Only people worthy of being resurrected back to life from physical death will be included in this resurrection.
‘Time’ is the result of Mankind tampering with God’s creation. ‘Time’ limits the amount of destruction Mankind can heap upon our planet. ‘Time’ keeps the human race from utterly destroying God’s creation. This automatic phase of ‘Time’ insures the planet earth will continue to exist as a paradise long after Mankind is extinct.
This gives the earth the millions of years necessary for it to rebuild itself into a paradise, and life on earth can continue; people who were instrumental in the destruction of our planet will not be allowed to return to live on the planet. This is God’s plan and the reason people need to be saved. The salvation plan assures people will be returned to live in earth’s paradise again.
The creation is a self-sustaining system that God doesn’t have to micro-manage. All His laws, trillions of laws, are already in place managing any condition, any interference, any catastrophe, or any changes, brought about by random activity, or the selfish purposes of Mankind; which cannot cause a lasting effect on the earth.
Hence, the resurrection of the dead back to life is an essential law already in place. It exists to protect the children of God who are cheated, punished, hurt, wronged, or killed by evil people in their pursuit of wealth or power.
Time has Changed
Since the days of Adam, exactly 6,061 years ago, Man has been recording ‘Time’. The first method used was simply counting each day until seven days passed, which was a week. Then they watched the Moon and counted each new cycle as another month. Finally, ancient people used a specific point, such as a mountain peak, to determine the beginning of a new year.
This occurred in the springtime when the Sun touched the mountain peak. When there were no mountain peaks to use as measuring points, Mankind built pyramids to determine the exact point in ‘Time’ known as spring.
If people lived too far north to use a mountain or a pyramid, they simply stood monolith stones on end, in a circle with space between them, like Stonehenge in England.
This allowed the observer to see the sun in the various openings as the sun traveled from its most southern point in winter, to its northern point in the spring, thus giving Mankind the exact point in the year when they had to begin planting.
Originally a day began and ended at sunset. Then the Romans changed how time was calculated twice. First, Julius Caesar changed the ancient way of calculating when a day began and ended to 6 a.m. Second, the Roman Pope, Pope Gregory changed the beginning and end of a day in 1582 A.D to midnight.
The Romans also changed the normal way of counting years from Adam’s time forward to the present year. They established a new system of dates beginning with the supposed birthdate of Jesus being the year 1 A.D., and then counting backward from this point in time to Adam (This type of dating system is called B.C. or Before Christ), then counting forward from 1 A.D. in time to the present.
These dates are labeled Anno Domino. The result is we are in 2006 A.D., or 2,006 years from the year 1 A.D., but we are actually 6,061 years from the moment Adam and Eve committed the first sin, which began the recording of ‘Time’. This change in the calendar affects the way people read information given in the Bible. It purposely confuses the future prophecies concerning the end of the world.
