And so, this is a book of facts. It's a book of first. It's a book of faith. It's a book of foreknowledge, a book of funerals, book of beginning of everything except god. The name Genesis is from the Greek. It speaks of origin, speaks of source. It's the book of origins. The Hebrew form is Bereshit and it means in the beginning. So the first three words in the beginning, that's the name of the book in the Masoretic text of the Torah and the Torah being that of the law, the first five books. The author of this is Moses and Moses isn't even alive. The textual critics would say and so he wrote wrote the first five books of the Bible, Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, and Joshua, right? And and so how did he write the book of Genesis? Well, he's more of an editor. He's a compiler and in the Hebrew, it's the it's the word speaks of generations. So, he was able to take 11 generations of people that lived during this time and wrote down on wrote it down but also oral tradition passing on to generation to generation and so oral and written traditions, Moses, the editor, the compiler, and the Torah means law, the Pentateuch, the first five books, and we see that god is self existent. He's self sufficient. Meaning, he didn't make man because he was lacking something. He's totally self sufficient and he's also eternal which means he changes not. He's unchangeable. Now, that word created is the Hebrew word Barah creating out of nothing and it can also be creating out of something. So, in the first verse, in the beginning, god created, it's Bara out of nothing. There isn't even air. There's nothing to breathe. There's nothing. There's no building materials going to Home Depot and buying some materials and coming home and building something. It's there's nothing there and the way that he did it is he spoke it. He just simply spoke into existence and the heavens and the earth. In verse 21, he made the animal life. In verse 27, he created man and but he used the dirt in the creation of man, right? He wasn't borrowed out of nothing. The the book refutes the book refutes nine different heretical you know, secular pagan views. So, the book of Genesis refutes number one, atheism. The notion that there is no god because he declares himself as the self existent one. So, people ask a question, well, who made god? He's the self existent one and so he's not created. Agnosticism, Agnos, Ag, knowledge, they speak of no knowledge. I have no knowledge of god. Is there a god? I have no knowledge. There's no way I could know. Well, the book of Genesis solves that. It's god revealed. He reveals himself through what? Romans one through his creation. From his creation, Romans one, people are without excuse because his very creation speaks of who he is. Pantheism. Refutes pantheism in in that he's transcendent to what he creates. Polytheism. One God created all. One God. So, when we get to in the beginning, god, the word god is Elohim in the plural, em in the plural. So, father, son, holy spirit, one god, and three persons is the creator of the universe. It refutes materialism in that matter had a beginning. It mattered is not eternal. Naturalism, nature has origins. People believe mother earth, you know, we're going to trust in nature. No, nature is created by him. Nature had an origin. God created the nature. Dualism, no. God was alone when he created. Humanism. God not man is the ultimate reality. And then evolutionism. You knew that was coming. Everything happened instantaneous. He's creator of all. Didn't take any time. Didn't take billions of years. And I would suggest to you that the Earth is young. Younger. Amen. And I'm not afraid to say that. And so, god the father, god the son, god the holy spirit, one god, and three persons and so in the beginning, when did this happen? When did this happen? In the beginning, god created the heaven and the earth. So, the first that was created was the heaven, then the earth was created. God's the one that did it. He did it out of nothing and it looks like this is an introductory sentence and that he created as as it says he created the heaven and earth and then between chapter one and or verse one and verse two, there's a big change here. Huge change and we're gonna look at that. But in the beginning God created heaven and the earth before the creation of heaven and the earth we have the second person of the trinity in John chapter one in the beginning was the word, the word was with God, the word was God, the same was in the beginning with god all things were made by him and without him was not anything made that was made and then verse 14 the word became flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld his glory as of the only begotten of the father full of grace and truth Jesus is the lamb slain before the foundation of the earth. So the pre existent godhead father son holy spirit had a plan of redemption a plan of saving man before he even made the earth before he even made man right? And there's another little hitch here, there are angels, both holy and unholy angels who fell. When did they fall, how did they fall? One third of the stars we're told in Revelation 12 fell with Lucifer and so we'll also see here in verse three that the Holy Spirit's involved in creation. The spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. So in Exodus twenty eleven the duration, the time is six days, six twenty four hour days. From verse three forward we would suggest that day one is in verse three of creation. Verse three. So we start out with a phrase in the beginning God created heaven and the earth then something happened. And turn to Job 38. Job 38 verse four. And this is this is Job. Man, he's he's really getting he's getting read the riot act, man. Where were you when? Oh my lord. So, where were you when? I laid the foundation there. Job, you're so smart. You seem to think you know everything and boy, I have that in me too. I I challenge god. I question god and man, I just wish I could stop doing that. Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Declares, declared if you had understanding. Who has laid the measure of it? If thou knows or who has stretched the line upon it? The chalk line. Where upon are its foundations fastened? How do you explain it? The foundations. Who laid it corner? It's cornerstone. Now watch this. When the morning stars so the angels are created before the heavens and the earth so you got three heavens right heaven third heaven Paul was caught up to is God's throne the second heaven is space The the first of the first heaven is the air we breathe. The where the birds fly. So, when the morning stars sang, so they're worshiping god, right? Together, and all the sons of god, the angels shouted for joy. So, they're singing and they're shouting for joy. They're worshiping god when he's creating the heavens and the earth or who shut up the sea with its doors when it broke forth as it is issued out of out of a womb. So like a woman's womb breaking forth. Who shut it up? Who who took the oceans, the sea, and separated them out made the tides and put a wall, put a barrier of the sea can only go so far but no further. Know who did that? Who created that? Who brought that order out of chaos? When I made the cloud its garment and thick darkness a swaddling band for it and broke up for it my decreed place and said bars and doors and said thus far shalt thou come speaking of the sea, but no farther. And here shall the proud waves be stayed, the waves stopped. Has thou commanded the the morning since thy days and caused the day spring to know its place? That it might take hold of the ends of the earth that the wicked might be shaken out of it. It is turned like clay to the seal and the and the stand like a garment. And from the wicked their light is withheld and the high arm shall be broken so even the darkness sets eventuality for the wicked and then has thou entered into the springs of the sea we got oceans. We got springs. We got huge amount of water underneath the seas and when the flood happens, god opens up the crust of the earth and allows the water that's in the earth to explode out of the crust of the earth And and so when he first made the heaven and the earth and everything's perfect, everything's good, it doesn't look like it it it's the the the is that it was good. Everything was good. Turn to Isaiah chapter 45. This is the one I wanted. 4five 18. For thus saith the lord who created the heavens, god himself who formed the earth and made it. He has established it. He created it not in vain. Now, that's very important to underline that, to think of that because we're going to do verse two yet. When it says in the Earth was without form and void. Something happened between Genesis one one and Genesis one two. And I would suggest to you it was the fall of Lucifer. And he was cast down to the earth and Lucifer created chaos. And we'll prove that. So, god himself who formed the Earth and made it. He has established it. He created it not in vain. He formed it to be inhabited. I'm the lord. There's none else. So, it's not a gap theory for dinosaurs. We don't need the time between one, one, and two. The other thing that refutes dinosaurs is that death did not come until Adam. So anything that died, died after Adam. Animals weren't even created yet. So it's not a gap of time for the evolutionary theory or for the old earth or people that freak out and try to make it billions of years old. But there is a gap from the standpoint of what we don't see which is in the spiritual realm. The angels that God created rebellion against against God. So we know that Lucifer in Isaiah 14 was a cherub angel, an exalted cherub angel, and he had his five I will statements against god. So, turn to Isaiah 14. Verse 12, how art thou fallen from heaven, oh Lucifer, son of the morning, how art thou cut down to the ground who did weaken the nations? Now this is gonna telescope from the origin of this angel Lucifer and his rebellion, his coup, all the way telescoping to the end of the age to even to the the millennium where he's incarcerated for a thousand years and at the end he's loosed and then eventually he winds up you know in the Lake Of Fire. So he's cast out of heaven but he becomes an adversary he becomes the adversary the devil Satan, and so art thou fallen from heaven a loose first son in the morning. How are thou cut down to the ground who did weaken the nations? For thou hast said in thy heart. So as five I will statements. So what we say in this regard is anytime you see these guys building golden statues under themself and always using the personal pronoun I I I I I they've got a eye problem. They got a pride problem. And I always wins when I see somebody do that. It reminds me of Nebby in Daniel four. It's not it is not this great Babylon which I have built. God resists the proud. He gives grace to the humble and it's pride that the the attitude and the belief, the the exercise of the will and thinking you're greater than god. For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into the heaven. I will exalt my throne above the stars of god. So, the stars of god are all the other angels. I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation in the sides of the north. He wants a millennium reign. He wants to rule and reign as as king of kings and lord of lords. I will send above the heights of the clouds. I will be like the most high god. Now, that is the lie that he's going to present to Adam and Eve that you can be as god in Genesis three and it is the same lie that Elon Musk and everybody are working toward presently by putting a chip in your head according to second Thessalonians two, they're going to reject the truth and they're going to be given over to a lie and god's gonna give them over to a strong delusion that they would believe the lie and the lie is that man, Lucifer uses it, the devil use it, you can be as god. As the devil told Eve, you shall not die and that's the lie that continues to this day and I don't know how people can fall for it but it says it's a strong delusion. So we would say it this way. We'd say somebody's drinking the Kool Aid. Somebody's been brainwashed. Somebody's been you know they're not thinking right. They're irrational to think along those lines and yet thou shalt be brought down to hell to the sides of the pit. They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee and consider thee saying, is this the man who made the earth to tremble? Who did shake kingdoms? So the Antichrist when men look at the Antichrist are going to say is this the guy? Is this is this the guy that did this? During the tribulation period? Who made the world like a wilderness and destroyed its cities who opened not the house of the prisoners and so bringing captives to hell. Now, turn to Ezekiel, Ezekiel 28. Verse 11, moreover the word of the lord came unto me saying, son of man, take up a lamentation just a second. Yeah, here we go. Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyre and say unto him, thus saith the lord god, thou sealest up the sum full of thou sealest up the sum full of wisdom. So, it's a symbolism, the king of Tyre and that Ezekiel speaking but behind the king of Tyre is the devil, it's Lucifer. That's where and the and Babylon, what's what's what's inspiring this evil is Satan, the real king of Tyre and so thou hast been in Eden. So, you know, the king of Tyre wasn't in Eden. So, again, it's speaking of Satan. Thou seals up the sum full of wisdom. You're perfect in beauty. So, Satan was finitely perfect as a cherub, exalted cherub, holy angel, like a worship leader before god's throne is where Satan originally was as Lucifer and and he was full of wisdom before his fall. He was perfect in beauty. Thou has been in Eden, the garden of god. What we're gonna see is he's cast out of heaven for what he did in Isaiah 14, that description. And he's cast out of heaven down to the earth and the earth initially was created as a garden of precious stones. So when we look at Revelation, go to Revelation 21 real quick. You guys got this last week. And we got, Well, I got it. Okay, 21. Streets appear gold verse 19 and the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third charcelodonce, the fourth emerald, the fifth the sardinux, the sixth sardius, the seventh crystallite, the eighth burl, the ninth topaz, the tenth crisp laphis or office, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst, and the 12 gates were pearls. And so we're looking at the end of the eternal state we're coming all the way back to the origin and heaven's gonna be built and display many precious stones. Okay? So back to Ezekiel 28. It says, thou hast been in Eden, the garden of god, every precious stone was thy covering. So, you've got a vegetable garden, the Garden Of Eden that Adam and Eve lived in but before that, where he was cast down to, in the beginning God created the heaven the earth and everything was good it was a precious stones and every precious stone was like covering the sardis the topaz the diamond the burl the onyx the jasper the sapphire the emerald and the carbuncle and the gold of the workmanship of thy of thy timbrels. So that's the part where they say that he was with music and worshiper and provided the worship music around god's throne and of thy flutes was prepared in thee in the day that thou in the in the day in which thou was created. So, again, a created being. He's not god. Thou art the anoint the anointed cherub. So, he's he's he's tantamount or equivalent to say Michael. The archangel. He's anointed cherub. And it's just an angel grabs hold of him and puts him in the abyss when when his judgement comes. So thou art thou art the anointed cherub, the covering that covereth and I've set thee so thou was upon the holy mountain of god. So, you're near the throne of god upon the holy mountain of god. Thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. So, he's walking up and down in the midst of the earth. In the beginning was the heavens and the earth. God created heaven first and the earth and Lucifer was cast out and Revelation 12 tells us one third of the stars angels fell with Lucifer. Luke 12 he said he said the Lord said Jesus said that he I saw Satan fall from heaven you know as lightning. And and so he's cast out. And and there's a precious stones of of fire that was perfect in your ways from the day that thou was created. So, finitely perfect, tell iniquity was found in thee. That was that pride, the origin of sin. And so he's sinning before Adam and Eve were even created, right? And there's no plan of redemption for an angel. So God made man Adam from the dust of the ground. And God the second person of the trinity took on the form of a man. Hebrews one tells us that Jesus didn't come back as an angel but he's made a little bit lower in the angels and his favorite phrase to describe himself as the son of man identifying with man. So, the first Adam, our first federal head failed, The last Adam, Jesus, did not fail. And so he's able to die for our sins and he's able to purchase not just us but also the earth that Adam forfeited under the prince, the power, the air, the little G God of this world unto Lucifer. By the multitude of thy merchandise, they have filled the midst of thee with violence and thou hast sinned therefore, I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of god. Notice, out of the mountain of god, I'm going to cast you down as profane out of the mountain of god and I will destroy thee, oh covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty. Thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness. I will cast thee to the ground. I will lay thee before kings that they may behold thee. Thou hast defiled thy sanctuary by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy merchandise, therefore, will I and notice god's eye statements. He had his eye statements in Isaiah 14. Now, god says what what he will do. Will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee and it shall devour thee and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in my sight of all them that behold thee. In the sight of all them that behold thee. So the internal corruption within him all they that know thee among the people shall be appalled at thee thou shall be a terror and never shalt thou be anymore And so now turn back Genesis one. You guys already learned this in Sunday school, I know. Okay. So, in the beginning, god created the heaven first and then the earth. How did he create it? He just spoke it. He spoke it into existence. And Psalm let's see here. Psalm. Psalm 33. Sing on him new song. Play skillfully of a loud song. For the word of the lord is right and all his works are done in truth. He loveth the righteousness and justice. The earth is full of the goodness of the lord. By the word of the lord were the heavens made and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. Thirty three six. Yep. Heavens made and how's he going to destroy the antichrist? Brightness of his coming and the word of his. Sword of his mouth. He's just going to speak it, right? And and so that Psalm goes on to describe more of creation there if you want to read it Psalm 33. So, he's speaking it in the beginning, god created the heaven, the earth instantaneously, right? And then it says and the earth was without form and void. So something happened and I believe as many of the commentators point out that when you look at the words without form and void it speaks of chaos, speaks of destruction, it speaks of the devil coming down and destroying and making a chaotic condition of the earth. And darkness is upon the face of the deep and and so that's what these words mean. Was some of them say without form and void, it says waste. It was wasted and and remember when we read in in Isaiah 45, it says, he didn't make it originally without void. Everything was made right. When when you looked at Isaiah 45. Let's read it again. For saith the lord who created the heavens, god himself who formed the earth and made it, he established it, he created it not in vain. He formed it to be inhabited. So in the beginning God created heaven and earth, you know, it's good. This is the prelude. And then the earth was waste and empty and the earth was without form and it was out void and darkness was upon the face of the deep and the lord caused water to be to cover the earth and darkness, thick darkness covered the earth. And then it says, and the spirit of god, so here's the third person of the trinity, moved and that word moved and and and some of years it'll say, breathe like wind. So, the Hebrew word rock like wind and so the the the breath of god, all scriptures given by inspiration of god, the breath of god. God breathe and so the holy spirit speaking and moving rapidly over like a mother hen over or an eaglet, the same word is used of an eaglet over her wings. And so moving with the Holy Spirit with the wings out and everything was waste and void and so the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, some would use the word recreated but verse three starts the first day of the six days of creation. Moved upon the face of the waters and it's in the Hebrew and let me read you what that says. Two main interpretations. Let's see here. So without form and void Hebrew tohu va bohu, the first which may be called the original chaos interpretation regards these words as a description of an original formless matter in the first stage of the creation of the universe, the second which may be called the divine judgment. So that's the view that I'm holding to is the divine judgment that came with Lucifer being cast down of the earth because if it was without form and void beforehand then when we read in Isaiah 45 when it said it was made perfect there's a problem there. So it has to be it was made good and then there was rebellion then there was judgment and the judgment was casting Lucifer and the other guys down to the ground and a description of the earth only and in the condition subsequent to its creation not as it was originally. And so a subsequent act of judgment after creating it and everything was was good. And so so then we go to verse three. And God said, let there be light. So the darkness covered the face of the deep. Everything's dark. And God said, let there be light and there was light. Now in verse 14 the Sun is created. So light eventually will emanate from the Sun and be reflected by the moon. But at this point in time right here, light is distinct. It's the Shekinah glory of God many feel. So God created light and that he is gonna dispel that darkness and he he also creates darkness, a thick darkness like you see in one of the plagues there with in Egypt where you couldn't even see your hand in front of your front of your face and so there was light and so god said, let there be light and there was light. And god saw the light that it was good. And God divided the light from the darkness. So it goes from chaos to order. Chaos to order. So who wants to read first John one verse five? Go ahead. First John one five, God is light. One five. This then is the message which we have heard of him and declare unto you that god is light and in him there is no darkness at all. So, god is light. He is Shekinah Glory is bringing this light and when we go in the book of Revelation to chapter twenty one twenty two, there's no more need of the sun. Why? It's god's glory like. God is the light thereof in the city of Jerusalem, right? So, starting out that way and ending that way. Now, in this chaos, he's going to bring forth order. And so from chaos to order, it says, and God saw the light that it was good. And that's a phrase you could you could underline. You're gonna keep seeing that. And it was good. And god divided the light and you can also divide. He's going to divide. There's going be division. I think five or seven different areas of division I think moving forward here and god saw the light that it was good and god divided the light from the darkness. So, kit from chaos to order and we're going to see that there's going to be a cycle of day and night and we're going to see that that a day, a twenty four hour period of time starts with like the Jewish calendar with sunset. Doesn't start with sunrise. And we'll see that in a second here. And God called the light day. In Exodus ten twenty one describes the darkness that god used against the the as one of the plagues. So, he called the day night and the darkness he called night. In the evening and the morning were the first day. So when you celebrate the Sabbath as a Jew, if you go to Israel and you roll into Jerusalem on a Friday like we did, in your bus and it's starting to get sunset, sun's starting to come down, you see all these Hasidic Jews from New York that just flown in for the weekend to celebrate the Shabbat, you know, in Jerusalem. They got their black hats on, their curly cues on the side, and they're moving pretty quick to try and get to wherever they're going to be until Saturday night until Saturday at sunset that's one day that's the Shabbat and Saturday at sunset they come out and they go on to Benihuda Street and they party but Friday, they're trying to get to the place where they're going to celebrate the Sabbath, the Sabbath rest and it's fascinating. So, they're they're and so that also factors in with, you know Jesus when he's being crucified. You remember it's starting to get dark. And so six hours upon the cross nine to three and then after three they're coming along to start to break the legs to speed up the the death of these guys because it's starting to get towards sunset and they don't want to leave them on the tree during the Sabbath. It was a high day and they came to Jesus and he'd already given up the ghost, right? And so toward the turning of that day. And God said let there be a firmament. Firmament in the midst of the waters. Let it divide the waters from the waters. And so God's causing air. He's causing the expanse space. He's causing the third heaven there where the birds are going to fly. He's taken the clouds and he's putting the clouds up high. There's a blue sky and then down below there's a lower area of water upon the earth itself and and even in the earth. So, he's separating the water from that chaos that the devil caused that whole mineral garden was covered with a great deep water covering it all and darkness and so god's removing he's bringing in light. He's separating out the darkness. The light, the darkness being separated. Now, he's dividing the water from the earth and and he's causing in the middle of it to be even the air you breathe God's creating. The oxygen, the different gases that we're gonna breathe and that we need to survive, God is creating here. And so the atmosphere we would say the ionosphere and the principle of evaporation with the clouds and a precipitation and all. So an expanse, a firmament means an expanse, a space, the atmosphere, the ionosphere. So the terrestrial earth from the sky is separating and divided the waters. There's our word again. We're under the ferment from the waters which were above the ferment and it was so. And god called the firmament heaven in the evening and the morning were the second day and notice on the second day he's not done yet because he doesn't say it it was all good. So we're going to carry over into the third day and continue so let's look at some let's take a pause and look at some verses who wants Psalm hundred and four twenty one okay in Job thirty seven eight Eight to thirty seven eight. Thirty seven eight. Psalm one thirty six six. Okay. Psalm one eighty four four. Isaiah 4zero 22. This is a good one. All you flat earthers out there. Anybody? I'll I'll do it. Okay. 40. You're going to get a lot of trouble for that one. Isaiah forty twenty two. Okay. And never say Moses murdered a guy. Don't ever say that. Proverbs eight twenty seven twenty eight. What's that? I'll do that one. Okay. Alright. We are going to look at some verses. Slow this down and see some confirmation. The Bible teaching the Bible. Yes. Psalm one zero four twenty one. One zero four twenty one. Then Let's see. One zero four. The young lions roar for their prey, stocking the food provided by God. That's a nice one, but That's right. Psalm one zero four twenty? Psalm one zero twenty. Okay. Maybe I wrote it down wrong. Job thirty seven eight. I'm still trying to get through with this Ford. Oh golly. What? Psalm one thirty six six. I'll get to it. Yeah. Loud. Stretch out the earth above the water. There you go. That's the one. She endures forever. Stretched it out like a curtain. He's stretching it out. Psalm one eighty four four. Psalm one Where? Psalm one eighty four four? Seven eight. You're not a Psalm one eighty four. Okay. There's no one. One thirty four four? Oh, how about okay. 1344. I'm getting my eyes operated on Friday. Lord, we pray for Jim. Jim, Lord, please help Jim with his eye surgery. So 1344? Yeah. Okay. One thirty four. Wait a minute. Psalm one thirty four. Oh, forget it. Alright. Too many gummies. Man, Doing myself. Uh-oh. Alright. Just kidding. You say, write it down better. Write it down better. One. Take two. Take two. Happy Memorial Day. Yeah. Be happy. Thank you for your service. Here, dad, why you live? 1366. Okay. To him who stretched out why is it in my bible? One thirty six six. To him who stretched out the earth above the waters of the mercy endures forever. Oh, there is no one eighty eight. Gotta be one thirty. 130. Only goes 150. So, one thirty four. There's a one thirty four verse. And and the Apocrypha there's one. No. I'm just kidding. Alright, let's stop while we're ahead. Okay. Alright. I'll look for that. Job. Type two. Thirty seven eight. Job thirty seven eight. Then the beast go into their dens and remain in their places. Okay. Isaiah forty twenty two. It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in. Praise the lord. There we go. You see that? He's sitting upon the circle. So then he stretched it out. The sky. You feel like a great. Proverbs eight twenty seven twenty eight. Take the stone. You can go to 29. Probably Psalm eighty four four. Let's see. Proverbs? You have it. Eight eight twenty seven through 29. I was I was there when he set the heavens in place when he marked out the horizon on the face of the deep when he established the clouds above the fixed securely the fountains of the deep. When he gave the sea its boundary so the waters would not overstep his command. And when he marked out the foundations of the earth. Nice. Mhmm. So try Psalm eight three and four. Eight three and four. Eight three and four. Beside the gate leading into the city at at the entrance, she cries aloud to you. No, Psalm eight three and four. Oh, I'm sorry. I was telling Bernie. Bernie. Oh, is that for Bernie? Well, it's okay. He was trying so hard. I'm making it up as I go. Psalm 83 verse one. Eight, three, and four. Eight. Three and four. See how I could do that? Eighty three and four. One eighty three four. Eight three and four. Psalm eight verses three and four. Psalm eight three and four. Just scratch it out. Just write just scratch it out. When I consider your heavens, the work your There you go. Moon and the stars. The moon and the stars What is man? You have set in place. What is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you are care that you care for them? You have made them a little lower than the angels and crowded and crowned them with glory and honor. You made them rulers over the works of your hands. You put everything under their feet. Now, that that can preach. If you ever go camping with a bunch of people and it's nighttime and you're looking up at the stars, there's your text. That's the text that you use that you preach on. That'll preach right there. Alright, anybody else I left out? Alright. So, the second day, we finish up with the second day and it didn't end with and it was good. Verse nine, and god said, let the waters under the heaven because he's continuing. He's continuing. God said, let the waters under the heaven be gathered together under one place and let the dry land appear and it was so. And god called the dry land Earth and the gathering together of the waters called he sees and god saw that it was good. So, he's finishing up from from the second day. Now, this is before the sun was you know, created. Yep. And the land and the sea was divided. And there's our word divided again. And let's see here. Psalm 7,913. Who wants that? And Job thirty eight eleven. Psalm 7,913 and Job thirty eight eleven. Psalm 7,913. 7,913, Rob has it? Job thirty eight eleven. I'll catch it. Okay. Go ahead, buddy. What you waiting for? Oh, I was thinking we're gonna give another one out. So we thy people, excuse me, so we thy people and are the sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks forever. We will show forth thy praise to all the generations. Seventy four thirteen? You said '79. I heard '79. I'll go back to '74. We're just getting a lot of wording right now. Thou did divide the sea by thy strength. Thou did break thy head the heads of the serpents in the waters. That was it. That was it. Okay. And thank you for trying. Job thirty eight eleven. Job thirty eight eleven. And said, hitherto shalt thou come no further and here shall dwell proud waves be stayed. So the Lord divided the the water from the land, exposing the land now, and the sea could only go so far with the tides and the whole thing. And later when he floods the whole earth and he breaks up the waters from the deep and the waters above and the whole earth is overwhelmed with water. Later, he gives a covenant that he won't destroy the earth by flood with the rainbow, right? Rainbow. Rainbow. And god said, verse 11, let the earth bring forth vegetation. The herb. Where have I heard that before? I think that means marijuana. Yielding seed and the fruit tree. So he's talking about vegetables and fruit trees who are there and they're kind of dormant but now he's going to activate them. He's gonna have activate them to bring forth fruit and to bring forth seed. Do you see that? So the earth bring forth vegetation and the herb yielding seed and the fruit tree yielding fruit after its kind. And so there can be variations of kind but no transitional kinds. You can't change an apple into an orange, right? You can't do that. They genetically alter like we had a tree that they mixed an apple with a pear or something. And so man can Grafting. Grafting. Do some grafting, bring a variation. And the scientists today do a lot of playing God type stuff where they'll take a, you know, like a tomato and they'll bring in some weird stuff that that, I don't know makes it so the tomato Salmon. Salmon? Yes. To make it so they won't freeze in the winter. There you go. So that we call it genetically altering it, but it doesn't change the kind. And so so according to the kind. So God said and we used to say it's the kind. It's the kind man. And I was that good? Oh, it's the kind. And God said, let the earth bring forth vegetation and the herbs. So you're gonna have your veggies and your salads and yielding seeds. You're gonna store up the seeds. We like to get heirloom seeds today because heirloom seeds will reproduce. And so you store up, you know, even the globalists have seed vaults of heirloom seeds because all the genetically modified foods don't give off seeds. They're going to starve you. And the fruit tree yielding fruit after its kind and I love fruit. Did any of you get a hold of those cherries? Man, they're such good cherries right now. So in season, make sure you eat your fruit and your veggies and why aren't they carnivores yet? Hasn't had the fall, right? After Adam and Eve fall then they start eating meat and they get these teeth right here. It grows a little longer, those right there. And these are for ripping and tearing meat, right? And so I think part of the reason why people are leaning toward carnivore diet pre ticks making it so you're allergic to meat is because of the glyphosate and so much toxicity found in the herbs and the fruit because of the globalist wanting to kill us, know, and all the spraying and everything. It's like Kathy talking about, you know, Bible talks about bread being good for your heart, but you talk to a lot of people, they don't eat bread anymore because of gluten. Well, why gluten? Because they altered the wheat. They changed the wheat. They changed the composition of the wheat, genetically alternate, and the glyphosate, which is the Roundup. And so a lot of kids, a lot of people have a lot of allergies from having different types of milk, different types of fruits and veggies, and bread, gluten free. My grandkids, they all have to be gluten free in a lot of their stuff. And so, but if we could get back to what God's creating right here, we'd be really healthy. We'd be really healthy. So food, when we were in chapter twenty one and twenty two, the book of Revelation, food was medicine. Food was preventing the fruit that come off the trees in the new kingdom, right? Kept people from getting sick. So the seed of itself upon the earth and it was so. And the earth brought forth vegetation and herb yielding seed after its kind and the tree yielding fruit whose seed was in itself after its kind. And so when you have vegetables and fruit, do any of you harvest the seeds for planting for another year? Yeah. Do we take the time to do that? Yeah. And and that's a that's a good thing. Whose seeds out and Cathy's tell me what we have the other day and you wanted the apricot seed? Apricot. You wanted the big apricot seed for something. She wanted to keep the seed. It's for cancer. Oh, it's for cancer. Okay, there you go. Whose seed was itself after its kind and god saw that it was, here we are. God saw that it was good. And verse nine, god saw that it was good but back at the second day of verse eight, it was, he didn't say that yet but now things are going good again, getting completed and the division has taken place, the dividing and it was so and it was good. And god said, let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day. So, we already had the light, right? Light is distinct. God is light. Shekinah glory and we have darkness but now god is going to bring forth the sun and he's going to bring forth the moon and the stars and he's going to bring forth night and day. So check out the order from chaos to order that God's establishing here. And So and God said let there be lights in the firmament in the heaven to divide the day from the night and let them be for signs. So this first reason for signs is for navigation, navigational signs. So when Rob goes out sailing on these big ships, they don't have GPS's and all but even the GPS a lot will you'll be guided by the stars, by the North Star and the sailors are able to look up at the stars in the sky and see the milky way and be able to look at the Mazaroth and they're able to navigate. If it's cloudy and you can't see anywhere and then I don't know what you do. You listen for the horn of a lighthouse. You don't want to go there. Careful. Alright, firm in the heavens and divide the day from the night and there are signs and for seasons. So, you're going to be given four seasons and we're fast approaching spring and then summer then fall then winter and notice also you're going to see the rotation of the earth from day and night and the rotation of the earth around the sun to measure time of one year one year you know around the sun and God's creating this order this ecosystem, this ecosystem and signs and for the seasons and for days and years. So twenty four hour days, the rotation, the day and the night, And then for years the earth going around the sun once a year. And the Julian calendar is three sixty days a year and what's ours three sixty four days a year? Three sixty five? Three sixty five, fifty two weeks a year and so let's look at some verses about the navigation of the zodiac and the Mazorah. Did we already do Job 3eight thirty one and thirty two? Thirty eight, 31, and 32. Rob likes this stuff because the lord's going to actually name some of the stars that Rob looks at. Beetlegeese and Arcturus and Psalm 19 verse one. Somebody want that? Okay now remember this is also pre Babel, Babel, Babylonian and all the mystic stuff and the Nimrod and the the Tower Of Babel they're looking up at the stars and looking for false gods and stuff. How about Luke one seventy? I'll do that. Acts three twenty one. Do that one. Psalm one forty seven four. Isaiah forty twenty six. Isaiah nineteen one through six. There you go. Anybody? Isaiah what? I'll do it. Kathy's doing it. Mueller? Mueller. Mueller? Okay. Job thirty eight thirty one thirty two. Can I sell by the sweat or sweet influence of the Plebeus or loose the hands of the Orion cast out bring forth Nazareth in his season or cast out guide Opturus and his sons, knowest thou the ordinances of the heavens canst thou set the dominion therein of the earth? Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds and abundance of waters may come cover thee? So did does god preach the gospel with the Nazareth with the stars, with the anybody know of that? Is the gospel in the stars? Yes. Yeah. Yeah, it is. So, explain that. You mean in as far as not the not the. Can you read? Constellations. Constellations. So, if you see the Milky Way and Cathy, help me. What? So, if you're the three wise men, wise men, not three but wise men coming from the East and they see his star, the star of David looking for the king. Pre Babel, they're stargazers. They're astronomers. And in their astronomy, they see a star, a peculiar star, that actually hovers over the house when he's two years old, you know, and it's moving, you know. So what prompted them to start moving? Was it that particular star or were they in their astronomy god communicating the stars to him? All the above. All the above? Okay. I just thought you guys would elaborate because I'm not very smart about that. Well, then. I'm I'm I'm priming the pump, man. Yeah. No. They were told they were told they were foretold of the star and they saw the star and they followed the star. Okay. Alright. But they could identify it from all the other stars and constellations. Okay. Because they're aware of that. I I think I remember Missler having a a study on the Mazarothic years ago. The zodiac and all that. Okay. Psalm nineteen one. To the two musicians in Psalm 18. They have declared the glory of god and permanent show up his handiwork. That's sweet. Day into day, night into night. Yeah. Don't he's communicating his glory. So, in Romans one, everyone's without excuse because of the creation. They look up the stars and they see the glory of god and they know there's a god. Amen. The true living god, right? Alright and so pre Babel, Luke one seventy. Hold that hand. Alright. One seventy. As he said through his holy prophets of long ago, salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us. Is that the one you wanted? I guess. Sounds good. Acts three twenty one. Can't go wrong with the word of god. Okay. Okay. Hopefully, that's it. Acts three twenty one. Here, we're gonna do the reading. Terry's great. For he must remain in heaven until the time for the final restoration of all things as as god promised long ago. Truth is holy holy prophets. The holy prophets. Right. He's communicating through the holy prophets. Psalm one forty seven four. He telleth the member of the stars. He calleth them by all of their names. Wow. That's amazing. Do you know any of the names of the stars, you guys? Oh, yeah. Orion's Belt. Orion's Belt? Nepledius, of course. Yeah. Arcturus. Arcturus. Arcturus. Belize. Belize. Which is another constellation. How many stars are there, Rob? Bunch. More than all the grains of sand? More. More. Keep counting. Okay. Now his good thoughts concerning you are numbered more than all the Sands and stars. And the sands. Yeah. That's a lot of good thoughts. Amen. Man. So when you look up there, you think about there's now therefore no condemnation to those that are in Christ Jesus who walk not after the lust but after the spirit. And you're thinking, look at all those stars. Those are representative of God's good thoughts concerning me. He never takes his eyes off of me. Isaiah forty twenty six. I see again. You can do it. Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens who created all these. He who brings out the starry host one by one and calls forth each of them by name because of his great power and mighty strength. Not one of them is missing. Amen. Okay. What was that? You want me to say it again? No. Was it Isaiah 4zero 26? Yep. Okay. Isaiah nineteen one through six. Alright. Oh, that's Cathy. It's gotta be. I don't make mistakes. Against the Egyptians. They shall fight everyone against his brother and everyone against his neighbor, city against city and kingdom against kingdom, and the spirit of Egypt shall fall in the midst of it. And I will destroy the council of it, and they shall seek to the idols and to the charners and to the mediums and to the wizards and the Egyptians, will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord, and a fierce king shall rule over them, says the lord, the lord of hosts. And the water shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and dried up, and they shall turn the rivers far away, and the brooks of defense shall be emptied and dried up, and the reeds and flags shall wither. Somebody need to hear that. Try Psalm nineteen one through six. And then somebody else can read while she's getting ready. He can divide the waters and dry them up. That's right. That's what we learned. That's right. And I got the other one ready. You got it? I got the other one. Alright. So Psalm Psalm. It looked like ISA. It was PSA nineteen one through six. That's really exciting. I'll read it. Somebody need to hear about Egypt now. Telling you. '19. God's word doesn't come back void. There you go. Here you go, baby. Alright. I it. Heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament show us his handiwork. They unto day utter uttereth speech, and night unto night showeth knowledge knowledge. There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard. Their line has gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, which is a bridegroom coming out of his chamber and rejoice rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. There's the one. That's it. That's it. Job. That was sweet. We're tag teaming in there. Yeah. I want to hear about Egypt though. So, god said, let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night. So, again, we want to make a point here that the light that's spoken of prior to this was the kind of glory of god and now, the sun and the moon are being created. Day from the night and signs and seasons from days and years. In verse 15, and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth and it was so. And God made two great lights, the greater light to rule in the day, the sun, and the lesser light to rule in the night, the moon. Made the stars also. So, you got the sun, the moon, and the stars. And and god set them in the firmament of the heaven. So, this is the second heaven. There is what we would call space, right? In the heaven to give light upon the earth and to rule over the day and over the night and divide the light from the darkness and god saw that it was good in the evening and the morning was the fourth day. Now, in Psalm a 139, go ahead and turn there. Psalm a 139. Verse 13 For thou hast possessed my inward parts. Talking about god of creation and he's creating you. You're in your mother's womb. He knows your inward parts. For thou hast possessed my inward parts. Thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. Now, you would think being in your mother's womb is the safest place you could be, Right? And if you've had an abortion or if you're the guy that got your girlfriend or somebody pregnant and you guys decided to get an abortion God forgives you of all that. But the reality of murdering a child in the womb is just a fact of it's a continuation of the offering children unto Baal, child sacrifices. They would heed the statue of Baal, a fertility god, and it would get red and white hot and then they'd take the unwanted pregnancies because their religious system was for pleasure and they'd have fertility goddess to incite people and so there would be these huge decadent whatever and people get pregnant, women get pregnant, and so it's nothing new under the sun. And I'll praise thee for I'm fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are thy works and that my soul knoweth right well. My substance was not hidden from thee when I was made in secret. So, you talk about when's when's the beginning of life? At what term, of a mother's pregnancy is it okay? When is it a fetus? When is it a baby? Now they've gotten away from all that. They don't even argue it anymore. Now it's we can kill the baby anytime we want. Doesn't matter. We don't care. The baby can actually be born now They'll just leave it on the table and kill it. So it used to be they'd argue about it. What point, what term, at what point you know is that alive? At conception? A month? And my my substance was not hidden from thee when I was made in secret and intricately wrought in the lowest part of the earth. Thine eyes did see my substance yet being unformed. And in thy book all my members were written. In which in continuance were fashioned when as yet there was there was none of them. So for me I personalize that and I say you know what he knew me before the foundation of the earth and God ordained that that I would live and know him. And the other thing to remember as a comfort is little babies that die prematurely or my daughter Jessica's had What do call them? Miscarriages. Miscarriages and abortions. Those babies go right to heaven. So someday I'm gonna meet my other three grandchildren that God brought forth onto Jessica. And so then I did see my substance yet being unformed and in thy book all my members were written which in continuance were fashion when as yet there was none of them How precious also are thy thoughts unto me. Sometimes we don't think god, where are you? God, where are you? You know, are you still there? Oh god, how great is the sum of them? If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand and when I wake, I'm still with thee. Surely, thou will slay the wicked, oh god, and depart from me therefore, you bloody men. And so God told Abraham if you could number your posterity those that come forth from your loins it'd be more than all the the stars of heaven, the sand on the seashore you know. And so so god's really thinking about you and that they're good thoughts and the lord says, I know the thoughts. Jeremiah twenty nine eleven. I know the thoughts that I think towards you, saith the lord. Thoughts of peace and not of evil to give you a future and a hope or an expected end. So God has a plan and a purpose for each of our lives and there's a good plan, good thought, and I know the thoughts that I think towards you say, Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil to give you a future and a hope. And so if your life's been tough in this life, in the next life you're going to enter into all the fruition, all that God has prepared you for and thoughts of peace and not of evil. And to rule over the day over the night and divide the light from the darkness and God saw that it was good. In the evening and the morning were the fourth day. Alright, you guys wanna stop there? No, we'll go one more thing. One more thing. Let's see. Let's look up. When we look at the word created, Bara, most of the time we say, well, in the beginning, god created, created out of nothing which is true with that verse but the word borrow can also be used like we said earlier, creation out of something. So, like Adam, he was created out of same word but created out of the dust of the ground. So in verse one the heaven and the earth verse 21 animal life verse 27 man. Let's see here. Isaiah forty two five, Isaiah forty twenty six, forty twenty eight, Psalm eighty nine twelve, cosmic forces of nature, Isaiah forty five seven darkness was created, Amos four thirteen the winds were created, Isaiah 43, and Malachi two ten is a reminder of the remnant of Israel God's created. In number sixteen thirty God's going to create a new thing. In Psalm 5,110 David prayed that the Lord would create in him a new heart. In Isaiah 4,118 through 20, god creates waters in the desert. Isaiah 45 verse eight, god creates salvation. Isaiah 5,719, he creates peace. In Isaiah sixty five eighteen, Jerusalem. Alright, we'll stop there and we'll pick it up next next week. And so, it's 08:00. Look at that. Alright. Well, let's pray. Anybody have a prayer request? Something you need prayer for? Yeah. My foot. Your foot? Yeah. I'm going to see the doctor at eleven. Okay. Brandon, you need prayer for your foot? Does anybody feel led to lead us in prayer? Okay. Well, since I'm such a star.
