Now
the Serpent was more Crafty
Than
any of the wild animals the Lord had made.
He
said to the Woman,
'DID
GOD REALLY SAY,
'You
must not eat from the Tree in the Garden?'
The
Woman said to the Serpent,
'We
may eat Fruit from the Trees in the Garden,
But
God did say,
'You
Must Not eat Fruit from the Tree
That
is in the Middle of the Garden,
And
you must not Touch it, or you will Die.'
'YOU
WILL SURELY NOT DIE,'
The
Serpent said to the Woman.
'For
God knows that when you eat of it
Your
eyes will be Opened,
And
you will be Like God, Knowing Good and Evil.'
When
the Woman saw
That
the Fruit of the Tree was good for food
And
pleasing to the eye,
And
also Desirable for Gaining Wisdom,
SHE
TOOK SOME AND ATE IT.
She
also gave some to her husband,
Who
was with her, AND HE ATE IT.
THEN
THE EYES OF BOTH OF THEM WERE OPENED [to Sin],
And
they Realized they were Naked;
SO
THEY SEWED FIG LEAVES TOGETHER
And
made coverings for themselves.
(Genesis
3:1-7)
The
Question that has Plagued mankind
From
the time of Adam and Eve
Is
the Same One that Plagued them:
“DID
GOD REALLY SAY!”
And
the answer is that God Really Said what His Word Declares.
Listen
to the writer of the Hebrews:
We
must Pay more Careful Attention,
Therefore
to what we have heard,
SO
THAT WE DO NOT DRIFT AWAY.
For
it the Message spoken by angels was binding,
And
every Violation and Disobedience received its just Punishment,
HOW
SHALL WE ESCAPE IF WE IGNORE SUCH A GREAT SALVATION?
This
Salvation, which was First Announced by the Lord,
Was
Confirmed to us by those who heard Him.
GOD
TESTIFIES TO IT BY SIGNS, WONDERS AND VARIOUS MIRACLES,
And
Gifts of the Holy Spirit Distributed According to His Will.
(Hebrews
2:1-4)
Today,
the Serpent is Lying to and Deceiving All Mankind,
Just
as he Lied to and Deceived Adam and Eve.
Mankind
has Rejected the Word of God
In
Pursuit of their own Wisdom
That
is Inherently Faulty, and leads to Eternal Death.
Mankind
has Eaten the Fruit
Of
the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil;
A
Reality that they cannot Live with, as God Warned;
AND
THEY ARE NAKED BEFORE THE LIVING GOD.
Unless
they Clothe themselves with Christ [Romans 13:14],
They
will Die an Eternal Death.
Ironically
as the eyes of Adam and Eve were opened,
THEY
WERE CLOSED to the wonder of Perfection!
They
gave up Perfection for eyes opened to Evil.
Only
through Faith in Christ Jesus do we get a Glimpse of Perfection;
The
Perfection God offers to All who Believe and Obey Him;
Yes,
even Eternal Life in Paradise.
Mankind
has Sewn together the Fig Leaves of man's wisdom;
An
Inherently Faulty Wisdom, that leads to Eternal Death.
Is
this because they do not know the Truth?
No,
they do know the Truth!
God
Almighty has made it Plain to every person:
For
since the Creation of the World
God's
Invisible Qualities--His Eternal Power and Divine Nature--
HAVE
BEEN CLEARLY SEEN,
Being
Understood from what has been made,
SO
THAT MEN ARE WITHOUT EXCUSE.
(Romans
1:20)
YES,
GOD REALLY DID SAY!
And
those who Ignore Him will Surely Die!
Christ Jesus warned us:
Be
always on the Watch,
And pray that you
will be able to Escape All that is about to happen,
And that you may be
able TO STAND before the Son of Man. (Luke 21:36)
Today,
the World is raging against God, rushing toward Oblivion. (Psalm 2)
This
World in it's present form is passing away. (1 Corinthians 7:31)
America
is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.
Save
yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)
As
God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
Father,
Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
