Creation
set in motion God's Plan and Purpose for mankind.
He
gave man Paradise and a Single Command.
Adam
and Eve were given Free Will
And
the Serpent was able to Deceive them.
He
said to them, “DID GOD REALLY SAY,
You
must not eat from any tree in the garden?”
God
had told Adam and Eve
That
they were Not to eat from the Tree in the Middle of the Garden,
The
Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil,
That
if they did, they would surely Die.
The
Serpent said to Eve, “You will Not surely Die,
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
Eve 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.
This
Act of Disobedience brought a CURSE upon mankind
From
that point onward,
And
they were Banished from Paradise.
The
Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife
And
clothed them.
And
the Lord said, 'The man has now become like one of us,
Knowing
Good and Evil.
He
must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also
From
The Tree of LIFE and eat, and live Forever.'
So
the Lord Banished him from the Garden of Eden
To
work the ground from which he had been taken.
After
He drove man out,
He
place on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim
And
a Flaming Sword flashing back and forth
to
Guard the Way to The Tree of LIFE.
(Genesis
2, 3)
From
that time on God's Plan of Redemption when into Effect;
God's
Plan to Redeem All who would Believe and Obey,
Back
to Himself—Ultimately back to Paradise.
Faith,
Believing God, would be counted as Righteousness. (Genesis 15:6)
Because
Creation was and is a Completed work,
Christ
Jesus was Crucified at Creation. (Revelation 13:8)
God's
Plan of Redemption was in Effect at Creation.
He
put into Effect His Plan to Redeem
Men
and women back to Himself, back to Paradise.
TIME
was put into Effect.
A
Specific amount of TIME to accomplish God's Plan and Purpose;
To
Redeem All who would be Redeemed, All who would Believe.
God
would Work with man for Six Days and Rest on the Seventh.
God
would Accomplish His Plan of Redemption in Six Days,
Six
Thousand Years and then Rest.
At
that time, He would have Obtained the Bride He Sought.
He
would have Returned those who Believe to Paradise
Where
they belonged;
The
Place man was intended by God to Inhabit.
Today,
we find ourselves in the Last of the Last Day of TIME,
Waiting
for the Completion of God's Redemptive Plan;
The
Completion of All that God has Foretold in His Word.
You
are All sons of God through Faith in Christ Jesus,
For
All of you who were Baptized INTO Christ
Have
Clothed yourselves WITH Christ. (Galatians 3:26,27)
We
Await the Return of Christ Jesus.
For
the Lord Himself will come down from Heaven,
With
a Loud Command,
With
the voice of the Archangel
AND
WITH THE TRUMPET CALL OF GOD,
And
the Dead IN Christ will Rise First.
After
that, we who are still Alive and are Left
Will
be Caught Up with them in the Clouds
To
meet the Lord in the air.
And
so we will be with the Lord Forever.
Therefore
Encourage each other with these words.
(1
Thessalonians 4:16-18)
How
insignificant are the Machinations of Unbelieving man
In
the Context of God's Redemptive Plan.
The
only thing that Counts is Faith Acting through love.
(Galatians
5:6)
And
what is love? It is Obedience to God and His Word.
(2
John 6)
Disobedience
brought the Curse
And
Obedience brings the Blessing.
