I follow
Jesus Christ and have ideas from a new and different approach to Holy
Scriptures. I hope my words express the regard I have for you dear peoples
following Jesus on his amazing path to Salvation. I would like to say that it
is an honored privilege speaking with you, The Word of God and His angels here in
this virtual space of the Internet. Thank you very much, Amen and Amen.
But
by the grace of God I am what I am; and his grace which was bestowed upon me
was not in vain, but I
labored more abundantly than they all, laboring
as one not unaware of the mystery of the Son of man, Christ Jesus of Nazareth; yet not I, but the Grace
of God which is with me
(1Cr 15:10 KJV).

Assembly”. Please be aware the list may not reflect changes per latest
revision.
Α. The seven days of the
Creation, as found in the King James Version of the Bible: beginning in the
book of Genesis, ending in the book of Revelation.
I.
The Bible is introduced in Genesis 1:1 to Genesis 2:3 with seven
days, as a brief history of the past, present and future of all time. This is
the framework from which the remainder of the Bible is structured; beginning in
Genesis 2:4 with description of the first day, ending when God rests on the
seventh day, after Revelation 22:20.
a.
In Genesis 1:2, man was created from the waters1 and
formed with the mist that watered the whole face of the ground (Genesis 2:6-7)
in the earth of the LORD; bearing on the reality “in the beginning” before the
earth in the year, 2007, ever was.
b.
Therefore the Garden of Eden will never be found on this earth
because it is simply not here! Neither will Noah’s Ark be found because the flood
occurred on the second day from the reality of the “firmament in the midst of
the waters”1 unto the reality of the “firmament of heaven”2.
{The firmament is outside the regular perception
of the world, until the second coming of Christ}. The third day is of “the
waters under the heaven”3 and the face of the ground is dry4.
God called the dry land earth and establishes his covenant with Noah, sons of
Noah and Abraham for perpetual generations. The works of the LORD are finished
from the foundation of the world.
c.
Jesus Christ must be born of woman, offer his blood sacrifice that
taketh away the sin of the world.
II.
Length of the first, second and third day are determined by event
and not clock. Length of the fourth day, today, is only known by God the
Father.
a.
On the first day, the heaven and the earth were spoken into
existence. Lucifer denied his faith and darkness was upon all Creation. And God
said, “Let there be light” and The Word of God gave light, and the light is the
light of men.
The light cut the darkness and the darkness is gone.
b.
God
saw the light, that it was good. The Lamb was slain
and the book of life of the Lamb was writ in righteousness. God divided the
light from the darkness and from the book of the generations of Adam, Adam and
his wife where clothed with coats of skin. Adam died and God said He would
establish His covenant with Noah and his generations. The evening and the
morning were the first day, Sunday.
c.
The second day begins and God destroyed the unrighteous with a
flood of waters upon the earth. The names of the generations of Noah were
written into the book of life of the Lamb, God called the firmament heaven and
the evening and the morning were the second day, Monday.
d.
The third day begins and God established His covenant with the
earth, Noah and his seed and all with him in the ark. God set His bow in the
clouds as a token of the covenant. The Lamb lives again and the grass, the herb
and the tree grow in the earth. The works of the LORD were finished and the
evening and the morning were the third day, Tuesday.
e.
To Day5, the fourth day and fourth part of the earth6, God begins the day by making our Universe come into being. “Gravity
has yet to be included in a theory of everything.”7
Gravity does not fit well with the other fundamental forces of
nature, there are indications it may have gotten special treatment when our
reality was brought into existence. For example in Genesis 1:14, Scripture can
be understood to relate that God would have lights dividing two functions with
four fundamental forces, “let there be lights in the firmament of
the heaven to divide the day from the night (Gen 1:4); and let them be for {1}
signs, and for {2} seasons, and for {3} days, and {4} years" and gives reason in Genesis 1:15, “to give light upon the earth”. In
Genesis 1:16 He made the prototype with two lights, each having a function
divided out for them, and then made room for an extra light when making the
stars, “God made two great lights, (1) the greater light to rule the
day, and (2) the lesser light to rule the night;” and “he made (3) the stars also”. In Genesis 1:17,
He sets them into the firmament of the heaven “to give light upon the earth”.
The end product has two lights and four fundamental forces, as described in
Genesis 1:18, “to rule {1} over the day and {2} over the night, and to divide {3} the light from {4} the darkness.” Therefore our reality is made and exists with
gravity configured according to the specifications of the world in which we
live.
f.
These are my impromptu impressions. Whether it is determined, “the
stars also”, represent the taming of gravity or if some other scenario ensued
to accomplish the requirement, it can be said that God may have taken special
measures to defeat this fundamental force. Gravity is now be reserved until the
flat line of eternity, when it may then be enjoined through faith in grace unto
righteousness for the glory of God. However, the study of gravity as configured
for space/time is beyond the scope of this work and will be left for the work
of others.
g.
With the Universe complete, the book of the generation of
Jesus Christ, the son of David the son of Abraham may come forth naturally from the dust of the earth and all
the other generations of the book may branch off naturally upon the face
of the earth. Therefore the process God used to form the book of the
generation of Jesus Christ in the earth can be discovered scientifically
through research and scientific discovery gives glory to the engineering,
cleverness and wonder of the witty inventions of the works of the LORD, made
according to The Word of God.
I.
This work offers a new and different way to look at Holy Scripture
wherein the seven days of the Creation of God has three parts. We will call
these parts, Trimesters.
a.
The First Trimester consists of the first, second and third day,
those days of the foundation of the world in a time before the beginning of the
known Universe, according to the light in The Word of God.
b.
The Second Trimester is Good Friday, Holy Saturday and Easter
Sunday, when the Son of man was killed, buried and after three days rose again,
according to the Scriptures. This taking place on the fourth day, To Day, the day God made the two lights and set
them in the firmament of heaven, beginning the fourth part of the earth.
c.
Following the second coming of Christ comes forth the fifth, sixth
and seventh day: the Third Trimester. According to the Scriptures from the book
of Revelation, and there should be time no longer in the new heaven and new
earth of the Kingdom of God.
II.
The work keys on the seven Spirits of God, as revealed in Isaiah
11:2: The
Spirit of the LORD, the Spirit of Wisdom and Understanding, the Spirit of
Counsel and Might, the Spirit of Knowledge and of the Fear of the LORD. The
Spirit of the Lord speaks to us from the book of Proverbs.
a.
Each of the seven Spirits has a seal of the seven on the
backside of the book written within (Revelation 5:1) and each has a day of the
seven of the Creation of God (Revelation 6, 7 and 8).
b.
Each is given a trumpet to sound at the second coming of Christ
(Revelation 8:2).
c.
Each is given one of the seven golden vials full of
the wrath of God to pour upon the earth after His second coming (Revelation
15:7).
d.
With the Spirit of the LORD, the Lamb opens the seven seals in
Revelation 6:1 through Revelation 8:1 wherein there is given another reading of
a history of time unto the day of the LORD, and there should be time no longer,
forever and ever more. Amen.
Β. Hermeneutics of The Assembly,
I.
Everything
in the entire Bible occurs in the seven days given between Genesis 1:1 and
Genesis 2:3.
a.
In
Genesis 2:4 there begins a more detailed record of those days according to the “generations” (in Hebrew, תולדות; transliteration, towlĕdah) in Genesis 6:9, Genesis
10:1 and Ruth 4:18.
b.
Record of the fourth day
begins again with the term “generation” (in Greek, γένεσις; transliteration, genesis) in (Matthew 1:1).
c. However, in determining the day of occurrence at any given point in the Bible, it may be necessary to give prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, and let your requests be made known unto God.
II.
The Spirit of Wisdom and Understanding with the Spirit of Council,
introduced in Revelation 4:5, author a spiritual history of the first, second
and third day from the book written within and on the back side seven seals
(Revelation 5:1).
a.
This is revealed when the Lamb opened one of the seals in Revelation
6:1, the second seal in Revelation 6:3 and third seal in Revelation 6:5. The
spiritual history continues with the fourth day and the Spirit of Might, when
the Lamb opened the fourth seal in Revelation 6:7.
b.
Prophecy of the fifth day and sixth unto the seventh day, given from
the book in Revelation 6:9 and Revelation 6:12 unto Revelation 8:1 when the
Lamb opened the fifth, sixth and seventh seal. Regarding the Spirit of
Knowledge and of the Fear of the LORD, the history was given, unto the Spirit
of the LORD in the seventh day.
III.
Record of the second coming of Christ is found beginning in Revelation
8:2 with the seven trumpets sounded by the seven angels.
a.
Literal history of the fifth day begins in Revelation 20:1 indicated by
correlating “the souls of them that were slain for the word of God” in
Revelation 6:9 with “the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of
Jesus” in Revelation 20:4, and “little season” in chapter six, verse eleven
with “little season” in chapter twenty, verse three. Not occurring by
happenstance, these doublets are to indicate the prophecy, unto the record of
its occurrence.
b.
“But,
beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one
day” (2 Peter 3:8). Therefore the fifth day is one
day as a thousand years (Revelation 20:2, 3, 4, 5, 6 & 7). The sixth day,
beginning when the thousand years of the fifth day are expired (Revelation
20:7) is a thousand years as one day; the day of the wrath and revelation of
the righteous judgment of God, as indicated in Revelation 6:17.
c. The seventh day, beginning after Revelation 22:20 in a new heaven and a new earth have the holy city, New Jerusalem, from God out of heaven prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
d.
Prophecy and Scriptural history of man, from creation unto
everlasting, is indicated in God’s Word through correlations of topic and/or
word use, as it is prevalent throughout the King James Version of the Holy
Bible.
Γ. Note from Redactor,
I.
There is evidence
found the five books of Moses, the Pentateuch, was transcribed by a redactor
combining four separate internally consistent sacred documents of the LORD into
one continuous history.
These four source documents are included:
J - associated with Yahweh Jehovah
E - referring to God as Elohim
P - having a great deal to do with
matters regarding priests
D - that which is found only in the book
of Deuteronomy
For example, the biblical story of Noah’s Ark is a
combination of two source documents, J and P. If you read either of these
stories and go back and read the other, you will find two complete, continuous
accounts, each with their own vocabulary and concerns. This model of the
combination of source documents came to be known as Documentary Hypothesis, or Higher
Criticism. 8
II.
Like the hypothesis,
The Assembly is a combination of
passages from the King James
Version of the Bible and one passage from the Gospel of Philip9,
assembled into a continuous history of the seven days of the Creation of God.
Here the passages collectively relate a modern concept of the seven days which
is different from the concerns of the prophets of old.
III.
The Assembly is not to be read as a group of verses, taken from the KJV
Bible in regards to the concerns of the prophets of antiquity. When reading the
Assembly it is advised not to necessarily consider the message relayed from
their context, but rather, to more consider the context relayed from this new
telling of the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is simple and straightforward and
delivers understanding of the Word of God relevant and applicable to those of
the twenty-first century, and beyond. The work is neither in agreement with nor
refutes the argument posed by Documentary Hypothesis but used to simply show
how the work was compiled.
IV.
I am thankful to
God
for all His many blessings. Please be aware that I do not mean to sound
arrogant in any way, nor do I believe or want to appear as if I consider myself
better than anyone else. I am simply working to convey what I have found in the
Scriptures in order to glorify God the Father, Son
and Holy Spirit.
Δ. Regarding Science,
I. The work offers relevant answers for modern questions regarding ancient
Scripture.
a.
Speaking at the 400th celebration of
Galileo's first observations of space via telescope, the Pope paid tribute to Galileo
Galilei10 who changed the way we see our world in light of the
fact that the Earth indeed is not the center of the Universe.
b.
He had the nerve to directly challenge the
dogma set forth by the then-almighty Catholic Church, in a time, when the
Church could burn people at the stake for fictive crimes and false accusations.
II. Scientific knowledge is a gift from God.
a.
Maybe it is no coincidence the moon, which is
getting smaller11,
is now at the right size to shield light from the sun in a solar eclipse,
reveal the warping of space and prove the theory of relativity12.
b.
The general theory of relativity is one of
the greatest achievements of the human mind. It is beautiful, simple and
profound.
c.
It is because of this theory, everything we
know about the Universe has changed. The work of Albert Einstein has opened up
the entire modern age, giving us laser beams, telecommunication and satellites.
Without his work, Black Holes, Neutron Stars and the Big Bang itself could not
be adequately described.
d.
Subsequently, with the work of scientists
following Einstein, there is need for another look at our understanding of Time
in the story of the Creation of God, as revealed in Genesis chapter one.
III. Literally speaking, from a Biblical point of
view, this earth could not have existed before the fourth day because the stars
were not made were until the fourth day (Genesis 1:17).
a.
However, because the Bible says the earth was created on the first day, it must
have occurred in a different reality, another dimension.
b.
Therefore in order to
understand how scientific knowledge relates to the Creation story in the Bible,
one must peer beyond the limits of what we can perceive here on earth and gaze
into a time before this world had yet to be made. From this perspective, one
may look and see The Word of God from the perspective of the LORD and gain a
better understand the gospel story of Jesus Christ.
Ε. Inspiration and
Perspective,
I. In 1972 I had a motorcycle accident and was involved in a near
death experience. I believed that I had experienced Heaven and spoken with Jesus,
I was profoundly changed and deeply inspired to complete this work for Him.
II. I have always perceived the Creation of God only from within the
boundaries of our reality in this Universe. After my encounter with Jesus I
became aware of another perspective, beyond that which can be perceived by the
world today.
III. With this new perspective, I discovered the
seven days of the Creation of God do not begin in the physical Universe in
which we live, but spiritually in the LORD God above. It is here, from
the foundation of the world where the works of the LORD were finished;
spiritually on the first,
second and third day, as outlined in Genesis I and detailed throughout the
remainder of the Bible.
