Warren,
Some of this I may have already said before. Hope it helps clear up a few things. Sorry if some of it is a repeat.
The Word or Logos was the first andonly thing that Almighty God created directly from Himself and thatis why he is referred to as His only begotten Son. He is also calledthe First and the Last, meaning he is the First thing createddirectly by Almighty God and the Last thing created directly byAlmighty God.
He is also the First to be resurrecteddirectly by Almighty God and the Last to be resurrected directly byAlmighty God.
His other names are King of Kings, Lordof Lords, and Michael the Archangel, and after he came to earth to beborn as a man he is called Jesus Christ.
Everything else was created indirectlyby Almighty God through him, for him and by him.
He worked alongside Almighty God duringthe rest of the creative works as a master worker, and he is a mightygod but he is not Almighty God, only His Son.
Almighty God was talking to him inGenesis when He said: "Let us make man in our image".
The word "DAY" has differentmeanings in the Bible. In one place it says that 1,000 years is as aday with Almighty God, and He told Adam and Eve that they would dieon the day that they sinned, so they had to die before reaching 1,000years of age. No human descendants of Adam and Eve were allowed toreach 1,000 years of age because of inherited sin, however,Methuselah reached 969 years, the longest lived human.
The 6 creative days are each 7000 yearslong and we are now in Almighty God's rest day, the 7th day, which isalso 7,000 years long, and His only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ mustrule for 1,000 years before he hands over the reconciled Creationback to Almighty God, before His 7,000 year rest day is up. So the1,000 year reign of Christ is very near to its start and that meansthat the start of Armageddon is even closer. But there is much moreto know.
At Luke 23: 43 Jesus said to theevildoer: "Truly I tell you today, (comma) You will be with mein Paradise." Jesus went to hell (the grave) that day and was inhell (the grave) for part of 3 days so the evildoer could not havegone with him to Paradise that day. Jesus will resurrect him in thefuture with all the others who are still sleeping in death, such asKing David Acts 2:34 Actually David did not ascend to theheavens.....
Many people believe that their deadloved ones are in Heaven but this is not true, as they are stillsleeping in death until they are resurrected.
John3:13 Moreover, no man has ascended to heaven but he that descendedfrom heaven the Son of man.
Almighty God's will for mankind has notchanged, and it is His will that faithful men and women will live onthe earth forever.
Almighty God did not originally createmankind to live on earth for a while and then die and go to heaven;He made them to live forever on the earth as long as they wereobedient.
Psalm37:29 "The righteousthemselves will possess the earth, And they will reside forever uponit".
Many believe that Almighty God came inthe flesh and died for us; this is incorrect. We must learn thedifference between Almighty God and His only-begotten Son who is amighty god. The Scriptures tell us that Almighty God cannot die, butHis only begotten Son known as Jesus was able to die for us.
Michael the Archangel gave up hisspiritual life in heaven to become the man Jesus Christ here on theearth, under the Mosaic Law. If anyone could keep the Mosaic Lawperfectly he would earn the right to continue living here on theearth forever or until he sinned; that is why the Jews considered ita curse, because none could keep it perfectly because they weresinners and so they were condemned to death by the Mosaic Law. Thewages sin pays is death.
Jesus kept the Law perfectly and earnedthe right to live here on the earth forever, and this is what hesacrificed or gave up to buy back what Adam lost, the right to livehere on the earth forever.
He also gave up his spiritual life forthe angels that sinned and so he became a corresponding ransom forall when he died, so that all could be reconciled at the right timeback to Almighty God, after his thousand year reign is over.
Jesus taught us to only celebrate onething, his death, which is the greatest thing that has happened sinceAdam sinned and lost the right to keep living forever. Jesus deathwas the ransom price paid to free mankind from the enslavement to sinand death and also the price to free the angels from the penalty ofdeath.
The Devil has misled and lied tomankind so that they have turned a pagan holiday of false worshipcalled the Saturnalia, into a so-called Christian holy day calledChristmas. The Devil has much of mankind believing that they mustcelebrate Christ's birth, and that he was born on the 25 December inthe cold weather.
The Devil who is the Father of the lie,also has mankind telling lies to their children about Santa Claus,and he taunts Almighty God about this claiming that he can turn allmen away from Him into believing the lies.
Almighty God hates the pagancelebration of Christmas.
Jesus was born in the month of Ethanimfrom September to October or about the 2nd of October whenit was warm and the shepherds were out in the fields with theirflocks. People were not asked to travel in Winter in those days butJoseph and Mary had to travel to Jerusalem so it could not have beenthe 25th of December.
The Lake of Fire is symbolic and thosethrown into it are symbolic. So all can be reconciled back toAlmighty God by Jesus Christ's sacrifice, both humans and spiritcreatures.
Almighty God has all things well undercontrol no matter what we think, and His will shall be done accordingto His great mercy.
Soon the United Nations, the UN, willbe the one world government and Almighty God through His onlybegotten Son will put His one thought into the hearts and minds ofthe political rulers to give their power and authority to the UN todestroy all false religion on the earth.
Revelation 17 shows false religionpictured as Babylon the Great, the great harlot that has a kingdomover the kings of the earth. She has prostituted herself to all thekings of the earth and is pictured riding or being supported by thescarlet coloured wild beast an image of the first wild beast. Thisbeast is the UN and it is shown turning on her and destroying her andeating her up and taking all her treasures and wealth.
The Elite who control all governmentson the earth plan to have the UN in control of the earth by 2030 orbefore that, so we can look forward to this destruction of falsereligion. This by the way is the start of Almighty God's war ofArmageddon and a time of trouble that the earth has not seen before.
When every trace of false religion isgone from the earth the political rulers will feel very smug thinkingthat at last they rule the earth without the help of the clergy. Butthen Almighty God through His Only begotten Son finishes His war ofArmageddon and destroys the political system, the last traces of theDevil's empire.
Jesus then starts his 1,000 yearKingdom rule to bring mankind and the earth back to perfection so hecan hand over the reconciled Creation back to his Father, AlmightyGod.
Mankind can then live forever on theparadise earth.
Psalm37:29 The righteous themselves will possess the earth and they willreside forever upon it.
There will be millions, maybe billionsof army/service personnel from every country wearing blue UN hats andthey will have one task and that is to destroy all religiousbuildings, trinkets, statues, rosary beads, prayer flags, photos,jewelry, clothing with religious things on them, even family photoswith a church cross or crucifix in the photo. There will not be leftthe slightest trace of anything religious on the earth. If it has across on it will be destroyed. Libraries will need to emptied ofanything religious.
This will be very far reaching and allbooks that have something religious in them will need to be burnedand tattoos of religious images and pictures will need to be removed.
All music and songs with religiouswords will need to be destroyed. All computer hard drives will havesomething religious on them perhaps and they will have to bedestroyed.
