Gods Creation and Restoration Cycle

I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, says the Lord, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty (Revelation 1:8). God was in the beginning. He is one God yet three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The Holy Trinity has one name and not three different names. baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19b, emphasis added). God is one and His name in Hebrew is YHWH Elohim (translated as Lord God in the KJV of the Bible). The name of God accentuates the divinity of each individual in the Godhead. The three persons in the Godhead is the one and only true God in the universe. Their relationship with one another is one of oneness, enjoying fulfillment in Their perfect love for one another in Their oneness in the Father. that they may be one as We are (John 17:11b, emphasis added). God the Father appointed Jesus Christ, the second person of the Godhead, as heir of all things through whom He made the worlds (Hebrews 1:2). As Creator of the universe, all things belong to Him and not another. Indeed heaven and the highest heaven belong to the Lord your God, also the earth with all that is in it (Deuteronomy 10:14). Christ the Creator of all things God planned, created and determined the destiny of all things through Jesus Christ, and not another. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made (John 1:3). God created the whole universe, visible and invisible,

and all of it belongs to God and not to another. For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominion or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him (Colossians 1:16, emphasis added). God has created all things and for His pleasure they were created. Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created (Revelation 4:11, KJV, emphasis added). God has created all things through His word. By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God [Jesus Christ], so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible (Hebrews 11:3, emphasis added). As Creator of all things God revealed Himself as the only true God of the universe and that besides Him there is no other god. How can there be another if Christ is the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning (Creator and Maintainer) and the End (Redeemer and Restorer) of all things in Him. All others who have alleged claims on creation are imposters, agents of Satan that come to kill, steal and destroy. Firstly, God created the third heavens or highest heavens where His throne is and He adorned it with cherubim, seraphim and holy creatures that serve before His throne where the seven Lamps of fire burn, which are the seven Spirits of God; where He has created a sea of glass. He also filled the third heaven with spirits, countless angels that serve all His various purposes. The third heaven was the Spiritual realm or heaven which God placed under the domain of Jesus Christ His Son who is a lifegiving Spirit. God also created the second heavens or the psychic realm. In the beginning God created this realm very good and it was filled with the light of

Gods presence until it was tarnished with sin. It is the sphere where the devil and his angels were casted down into after their rebellion. It is the realm where the human soul with its personality, egoistic attitudes, brain waves, emotional vibrations, will and psychic powers and abilities exists and function. It was on this level that the serpent deceived Eve and tempted Adam to rebel against the Lord. Satan approached Eve by reasoning with her on the mind level. He tricked her into questioning the command of God. When her heart agreed with his deception against the wisdom of the Lord she was flooded with darkness of sin and death. When she sided with the serpent against the Lord her enlightened soul turned from a fountain of love and worship to enmity against God. The Lord also created the first heavens and the earth in the material realm with its mineral, plant and animal kingdoms. The natural creation is a witness of the Creator who lives in the Spirit. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse (Romans 1:20). Gods Creation Plan Creation Light. God separated light from darkness Firmament. Separated waters under and above firmament. Let the land appear. Vegetation. Sun, moon and stars to rule day and night; celestial bodies are for signs, seasons, days and years. Birds, fish and creatures of the sea. Land animals and man God rested from all His work.

On the sixth day God created man, a spirit, soul and body yet one living human being. your whole spirit, soul and body (1 Thessalonians 5:23, emphasis added). Adams spirit was alive to God and his soul was filled with the dazzling light of Gods presence and his body was immortal and incorruptible. Because he was wholly alive to God he could sense God with his bodily, soulish and spiritual senses. God created Adam a living soul (1 Corinthians 15:45), and thus he lived predominantly in the psychic and physical realms. God gave him the earth as an inheritance, creation in these two realms to subdue and to rule. Creation in the highest realm of spirit, the third heavens, is under Christs domain because He is of a higher order than Adam, a life-giving Spirit (highest level of maturity; He is God). Adam was a living soul and Christ is a life-giving spirit. As a living soul Adam responded to God and all creation predominantly with his soul (intellect and emotions) and somewhat with his spirit (the very depth of his inner-man where also the Word and the Spirit dwell). Adams body was in subjection to his living soul and functioned in harmony with it. His soul being in command of his body, and not his spirit, posed no problem because there was no darkness in him. Adam was perfect. God created him this way. His spirit, though perfect, was not yet matured. Perfection and maturity must not be confused. God meant for Adam to mature from a living soul into a life-giving spirit into the same mature image as the Last Adam, even Christ his Creator that he might have become co-heir with Christ also of the things in the third heavens. Adam was maturing in his spirit as he and God were conversing in the garden.

In paradise Adam experienced the Fathers love. Though he experienced Gods love he knew it not because there was nothing in paradise in contrast to compare it with. Hope and faith was also foreign to him because everything was perfect and fulfilled in God. Adam suffered no limitation or knew no lack. Adams heart was continuously enlightened with Divine knowledge, wisdom and insight by the dazzling light of Gods glory that inhabited his soul. Adams body was the obedient servant of his virtues soul. It became a problem when his soul took his body down with it into the darkness of sin and death. Gods time schedule God is purposeful in all of His endeavors. In His omniscience He appointed Christ heir of all things through whom He created, maintained, redeemed and restored the universe. The transgression of Adam was no surprise to God, and His redemption and restoration plans were not afterthoughts because of sin. Gods time schedule was an integral part of His creation, redemption and restoration plans which He set to bring forth a people for His own possession; a harvest of sons. The Law was a shadow of good things to come but is not the very image of things (1 Peter 1:10-12). The Sabbath principle in the Law and the Year of Jubilee cycle are shadows of Gods time frames of His desires to create, redeem and restore creation and man. The Sabbath principle is a shadow of Gods creation plan. In six days God created the heavens and the earth. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day (Exodus 20:11a, emphasis added). Evolutionists want people to believe that these creation days were different time periods. However,

in the creation account as recorded in the book of Genesis, Moses used the word day (in the original language) and not another word that could possibly indicate different time periods. The word day emphasizes equal time periods. Scripture were inspired by the Holy Spirit and therefore the use of the word day is perfect even as His inspiration is perfect. To imagine otherwise is just as absurd as to imagine that each day of our lives fluctuates in its number of hours. Creation is a reliable and faithful witness that testifies that a day as we know it is more or less 24 hours and does not fluctuate in hours every day, nor does the time in the creation days. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork. Day unto day utters speech, and night unto night reveals knowledge. There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard (Psalm 19:1-3). If Gods creation days consisted of six 24-hour days He would have fashioned creation in 144 hours. God would have fulfilled His Sabbath day of rest 24 hours later and thus His redemption and restoration plans. We are still on earth, waiting for Christs return, testifying that this cannot be true. So, how long was the duration of one creation day and thus the creation period? The Scriptures do not tell us directly how long a creation day was but gives us clues how to determine it. It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the glory of kings is to search out a matter (Proverbs 25:2). The Scriptures mention days that are longer than 24 hours. Let us consider some of them. 1) One year days or a week of seven years: But in the seventh year there shall be a sabbath of solemn rest for the land (Leviticus 25:4a, emphasis added). If God created the heavens and earth in six year-days God would have completed

His rest and His redemption and restoration plans one year later. We are still on earth and are the witnesses that that this view is also not true. 2) Seven year days or a week of 49 years: And you shall count seven Sabbaths of years for yourself, seven times seven years; and the time of seven Sabbaths of years shall be to you fortynine years (Leviticus 25:9, emphasis added). If God created the heavens and earth in six seven yeardays God would have completed His rest and His creation, redemption and restoration plans in 49 years (six days times seven year days is 42 years plus a seven year day for Gods rest, equals 49 years). All people older than 50 years bear witness that this view cannot be true. 3) One thousand year days or a week of seven thousand years: But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day (2 Peter 3:8, emphasis added). Peter based this truth probably on the fact that man died in the day that he sinned. Methuselah, the oldest man that ever lived, died at the age of 969 years. No man ever reached 1 000 years of age, for he died in the day (1 000 years) that he sinned. Even if Gods creation days were 1 000-year periods His rest and redemption and restoration plan would have been completed thousands of years ago. We are still walking the earth. The carnal mind does not understand the mysteries of God. 4) Seven thousand year days or a week of 49 000 years: The day of Gods Sabbath rest (Genesis 2:1) is 7 000 years. From Adam to Christ is 4000 years; from Christ to date is 2000 years and from the present to the end of Christs millennial reign is 1 000 years, totaling a period of 7 000 years. Gods creation, redemption and restoration plans are based on a Sabbatical model of equal periods of 7 000 year-days; a week of 49 000 years (42 000

years of Gods creative labor time and 7 000 years for His rest day). This is a shadow of the Gods true Jubilee Cycle. And you shall count seven Sabbaths [7 x 7 000 years] of years for yourself, seven times seven years; and the time of seven Sabbaths of years shall be to you forty-nine [49 x 1000 years] years. Then you shall cause the trumpet of the Jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the Day of Atonement you shall make the trumpet to sound throughout all the land. And you shall consecrate the fiftieth [50 x 1 000 years] year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a Jubilee for you; and each of you shall return to his possession, and each of you shall return to his family (Leviticus 25:8-10). Jubilee was a celebration of Israel each fiftieth year, where all debt were canceled and all possessions returned to its original owner and all Hebrew slaves in Israel were set free. The Year of Jubilee is an extension of the sabbath principal that begins with the day of rest every seventh day, extended in the Sabbatical Year fallow every seventh year to the Jubilee. The purpose of the Year of Jubilee was to ensure that Hebrew slaves returned to their family and that every Israelite family would have been freed to sink into depths of perpetual poverty. Even a person who squandered his substance could not forever lose his inheritance for his posterity. Though the people would occupy the land in Israel, the ownership thereof is the Lords. There is no indication in Scripture that the Year of Jubilee was observed. If Israel were obedient God would have blessed and prospered them; they would have lend too many nations, but would not have borrowed; they would have reigned over many nations, but they would not have reigned over them (Leviticus 25:8-10; Deuteronomy 15:4-5).

It is a type and shadow of a better Jubilee to come, the true Jubilee that God envisaged for His people where all freedom and possessions lost through Adam will be restored. The Year of Jubilee cycle is also recorded as a type of the time table of Gods creation, redemption and restoration plans; a time duration of 50 000 years using the key, That with the Lord one day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day.

Christ the Redeemer and Reconciler of all things When Adam chose mental knowledge (fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good [letter that kills] and evil [lawlessness]) above the revelation of the Lord he fell from his high estate as son of God (Luke 3:38) into the misery of sinful flesh. He has chosen the difficult road to grow up into a quickening spirit in Christ. in the world you shall have tribulation (John 16:33). Adam could no longer observe God with his spiritual, psychic and bodily senses because he was dead to God. That which is alive to God can observe Him but that which is dead to Him cannot observe Him. When Adam sinned we all sinned because Adams corrupted seed in us has drawn us down with him. He took all creation under his authority down with him. All life in creation lost its power when Adam ceased to abide in Christ, his Creator. You were born dead to God; having a sinful nature you were shaped into unrighteousness. Because you cannot feel God with your hands, or smell Him with your nose, or hear Him with your physical ears, or see Him with your eyes of flesh, or taste Him with your tongue does not mean He is not there. The body of flesh with its natural senses observes things that exist in the material realm but it cannot observe God who lives in the Spirit (heaven) because it is dead to Him because of sin. the body is dead because of sin (Romans 8:10). When you observe things with your bodily senses your soul (mind) interprets the impressions. Your body as the willing slave of your darkened soul executes its every command. The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it? (Jeremiah 17:9). Your body and soul together is the makeup of your natural man. The unredeemed spirit of man cannot sense God because it is dead to Him. It is that part of you that

is constantly aware of the deep emptiness, restlessness and discontentedness in you. When you meet Christ the empty and lonely sensation in your spirit disappears because He is the only One that can quicken your spirit to God by filling the void in your spirit with Himself. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His (Romans 8:9b). You need to be born from above to understand the things of the Spirit and observe God who lives in heaven. Jesus answered and said to him, Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God (John 3:3). Your redeemed human spirit is that part in you that is alive to God and His kingdom. A human spirit that is quickened to God by new birth is joined (as in marriage) to Christ and has become one Spirit with Him. For your Maker is your husband, the Lord of hosts is His name; and your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel; He is called the God of the whole earth (Isaiah 54:5). In Christ the wall of separation and veil of blindness is removed. A redeemed human spirit is quickened to God and has excess in the realm of Spirit where God dwells. From that moment forward the Holy Spirit will lead you into all truth. You can be born again and still live a fleshly life. To walk in the spirit or in the flesh is not a matter of right or wrong, but thoughts, attitudes, words and works that have their origin in the spirit or soul. Your spirit is the deepest part within you. To walk in the spirit is to have and maintain uprightness in your spirit. To be effective with your spirit you need to practice how to release the force of your spirit (not your emotions) all the time in every place. When you release the force of your spirit you release the Spirit of Christ who is one with your spirit.

Truth (the revelation of the Lord) is fruit from the tree of life and abides in the realm of the Spirit. It is life and peace. The tree of knowledge of good (letter that kills) and evil (lawlessness) is in the psychic realm, which is part of fallen creation and being independent from God produces death. The carnal mind does not understand the things of the Spirit. But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned (1 Corinthians 2:14). The Holy Spirit is the One that brings you to the knowledge of Truth, which is Christ. Flesh is that which is born of blood by the will of the flesh. Flesh begets flesh. Flesh (soul and body) lives in the natural realms of the universe, which is the material and psychic realms. The body exists in the material realm. With its five senses it observes things in the mineral, plant and animal kingdoms. The body is that part of you that are aware of physical things. Because of sin it is dead to God and is incapable of perceiving God or observing the kingdom of God in the Spirit realm. It is also incapable to observe things in the psychic realm, which is the higher realm of the broken universe. For this reason some deny the existence of the unseen Creator and His creation in the invisible realms of the universe. They do not understand that they cannot see with a body of flesh into the worlds of psychic phenomena and the third heavens because it is dead to the higher spheres of existence hence their naivety and resulting error! Your soul lives in your blood and is the higher part of your fleshly nature, which is enmity against God. Your soul is that part of your being that is subjectively aware of self and is concerned about your desires and wants that operates independently from God. Your soul is the higher

part of your carnal nature and lives in the psychic realm. The soul is more than just your ego, will, mind and emotions but it also has psychic powers and abilities. Adams living soul, lost his psychic abilities through sin but it is still there and you can still use it to some measure if you exercise those latent powers of the soul. Mystics are exercising their psychic potential with limited success. Mysticism has become a science. Millions of dollars are spent annually on research on psychic phenomena and the development of psychic powers resulting in the publication of researched results and findings in accredited Scientific Journals. For example, psychics have achieved great success using clairvoyant ability in finding missing people. There are people that can move and bend objects with the power of their minds. Some can heal people and others can remove cancer cells from the body as in an operation, etc. Today the psychic realm is much more than hippies experimenting with drugs or some science fiction ideas but scientific facts and reality as a result of scientific research in the occult and paranormal phenomena. The psychic world is as real as the material realm. Just as the physical body makes observations in the material realm with its five senses likewise the soul can observe with its senses, if they are developed, things in the psychic realm where demons, unredeemed spirits, brainwaves (thoughts, opinions and ideas in the imagination), psychic dreams and visions, emotional vibrations, psychic energy, auras, etc. exist. Four thousand years into Gods rest day, 46 000 (42 000 years to Adam plus 4 000 years) years since the beginning of creation Christ came to the earth to redeem fallen man and our broken universe. He came to take away the old creation to establish the new. The number 46 stands for the old creation. It took the Jews 46 years to build the temple. Then the Jews said, It has taken

forty-six years [46 000 years] to build this temple [old creation], and will you raise it up in three [3 000 years = 2 000 years of church age plus 1 000 years of Christs millennial reign] days? (John 2:20). The temple of the human body has 46 genes or units of inheritance that is carried on chromosomes, controls transmission of hereditary characters, and consists of DNA. After 46 000 years the Redeemer (Christ) came to break down the old creation (46 000 years), the temple (46 years) made with hands, the first Adam (46 genes) to establish a new heavens and a new earth, a temple not made with hands and a new man. Christs redemption plan was only a provision. Though Christ completed His work on the cross, you do not yet experience your whole person restored alive to God. When you accept Christ as your Lord and Savior your spirit is quickened to God because of Christs righteousness in you. However, your body is still mortal, void of perfection of immortality and incorruptibility, meaning that it is dead to God because of sin (Romans 8:10). Your soul who is in the blood of your body is enmity against God, for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be (Romans 8:7). Gods redemption plan and restoration plan is not synonymous. His redemption plan is the provision and His restoration plan is the fulfillment of His promises through faith in God and Jesus Christ. The completion of Gods redemption plan started His restoration plan. Salvation is your spirit made alive to God; the first step of God restoring you to perfection in Christ. Christ the Restorer of all things If Christs redemption and restoration plans were synonymous He would have brought all things into fulfillment when He died and was raised from the dead; the world would have ended. However, the

Jubilee cycle is not 46 years (46 000 years) but 50 years (50 000 years). Then the Jews said, It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days? But He was speaking of the temple of His body (John 2:20-21). Christ will have the new creation completed in 3 days (3 000 years). Jesus was raised on the third day but His body of believers will be perfected in 3 000 years (3 days x 1 000 years). After two days [2 000 year church age] He will revive [at the last trumpet] us; on the third day [Millennial reign of the Lord] He will raise us up, that we may live in His sight (Hosea 6:2). And also, And He said to them, Go and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow [2 000 year church age], and the third day [49th millennium] I shall be perfected [in the body of His believers] (Luke 13:32). The earth is 48 000 years old (46 000 years until Christ plus 2 000 year church age). We are about to enter the 49th millennium, the third day, the day of the Spirit. In this millennium Christ will restore all things to fullness of perfection. After the 49th millennium the 50th millennium will come, the Jubilee that the Lord has planned for us since the foundation of the earth. Satan will be released from his prison for a short time to deceive the nations once more. The war against Satans army, the reward of the just and the judgment of the wicked will all take place during Jubilee when all creation will be freed from futility. Then the Son will subject all things to the Father and time will be no more. And so we will be forever in the presence of the Living God. @
