The Genesis Road of Redemption:
“God’s Covenant with Creation”
Day 4: The Sun, Moon, and Stars

How do these three Lights Reflect on the Testimony of Jesus?

THE SUN:

The Sun rays nourish every Human Body by giving it Vitamin D, and essential nutrient for health and healing.

The Sun rays nourish every living Plant Body through photo synthesis, creating our fundamental food source for all living things in all of His creation.

The Sun rays purify and clean the environment, they kill germs, mold, fungus, and viruses. The bleach sheets, clothes, hair, and diapers.

Jesus feeds every spirit body with the Light of his Word. Every soul that comes into his Light, becomes healthy, clean, pure, and right.

Those who come to Jesus and abide in His Light, and expose their diseases, of the mind and heart, get delivered, get cleansed, get healed, get their dark red sins made as white as snow.

THE MOON:

The Light of the Sun, is greater than the Moon. The Moon reflects the Light of the Sun.

Jesus said, “The father is Greater that I.” He told Philip: “if you have seen me you have seen the Father.” Jesus came to earth to reflect the Heart of Love and Truth of the Father to his children, even as the moon reflects the light of the Sun.

THE STARS:

The Stars declare the time of his coming: 

Matthew 2:1-2 (KJV)
1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, 2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.

Matthew 2:9-10 (KJV) 9 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. 10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.

The Stars are like the Holy Spirit, giving light and beauty and bringing God’s Presence everywhere at once, everywhere at the same time. As with the wise men, the stars lead men to Jesus. And Jesus leads men to the Father.

John 14:6 (KJV)
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life:
no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

The Father, the Son, and the Spirit, the three are One:

Matthew 28:19-20 (KJV)
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

“Even to the End of the World”:  That reminds us, that this world is not our ultimate eternal home, because there is coming a time when this world will no longer be here. It is going to end. There is going to be a new heaven and a new earth.

Isaiah 65:17 (KJV)
For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth:
and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.

2 Peter 3:13-14 (KJV)
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.

Revelation 21:1-2 (KJV)
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away;

And the Light of the Sun and the Moon will be no more … Soon the visible things will be invisible, and the invisible things will be what is visible.

Revelation 21:23-27 (KJV)
            23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
            24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.
            25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.
            26 And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.
            27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

Did you know that lions, tigers, and bears were all originally herbivores, and will be again in the future.

Isaiah 11:7 (KJV)
And the cow and the bear shall feed;
their young ones shall lie down together:
and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.

Isaiah 11:9 (KJV)
They shall not hurt nor destroy
in all my holy mountain: 
for the earth shall be full
of the knowledge of the LORD, 
as the waters cover the sea.

Two more reasons to be Thankful to God for the Sun:

More Reasons to be Thankful for God’s Ingenious Designs in Creation

It seems the more we gain insight into our technological advances, the more we learn about God’s Ever Present and Ever far more advanced Technological Designs that Shape Our World, Protecting it, cleaning it, sustaining and maintaining it, and a grand scale that you would expect from God, and making it free to all of creation. And yes, it is all working for free, not charge to you, except when men get involved. When it stops working in harmony and in purity, that is a sign of God’s Judgements upon the Earth, which are regular, and the are increasing, and will continue to increase as a protest of the evil being done in the world. 

In other words, God can use the Power of His Creation to bring blessings or curses. Men get to choose which covenant they want to live under, the Blessings, or the Curses. God can bring swift judgment upon the Land (famine), upon the nation (wars), upon the crops (drought, and blight, and plagues of insects, locusts, etc.), upon the home (diseases), upon the family (mental, emotional, physical and social sicknesses, that can pass through gene pool), upon the individual (STD’s, sickness, plagues, financial ruin, you name it.) These we will see working in real time, as we get deeper into the Blood Covenant Study.

Side Note:

Innocent people dying of starvation in this life is not a problem for God. He can bring them into His kingdom and bring them rest, and comfort and shield from the world of evil that man has created. Getting an early ticket out of this world is not such a horrific thing from God’s perspective, that men accuse God of being evil, for allowing.

As we learn from the Testimony of Lazarus, and the Rich Man. Lazarus was comforted. The rich man was in torments. So far from not caring about the poor, the weak, the hungry, the starving, God cares about such far more than we do. And what they didn’t get in this life, God can more than make up for their loss here, in the LIFE TO COME.

What is a horrific thing from God’s Perspective is that men and women will refuse to receive His Son, refuse to listen to His Spirit, refuse to receive His very own Testimony, refuse to honor His Creation, refuse to be grateful for all the food, fruit, water, air, plants, fish, birds, animals, sunsets, sunrises, blessing, and life He has provided, but instead men use all his gifts and resources to do evil against him and against his children. That is the horrific thing the world should be concerned about, but is not. And that will be the reason for their own demise.

Author’s Note:

At its root this is a Bible Study on the Subject of the Blood Covenant of God, yet included in that Covenant is God’s Covenant with Creation. Without the First Covenant with Creation, we would never have had the second Covenant of Redemption. In order to fully appreciate and value both a few side notes are necessary to show the practical, powerful, insightful, prophetic, and far reaching vision and working systems that God has included into the making of His Majestic  Creation. And Since Jesus is “the one who Made ALL Things,” everything about his creation is his design and that reflects back on his nature, his care and foresight, his provision and his incredible diligence to maintain the systems of life that keep men alive, even though they are haters of God, and haters of His Word. They hate His Person, His Son, and His Kingdom.

Eventually, God knows that every individual will receive his just and earned reward. Until then, God still holds out hope for all sinners to come to repentance and become the Child of God, God created them to be in all purity, all holiness, all righteous, love, grace, truth, and freedom. And God calls us to participate with Him in prayers, in word, in deeds, in spirit to join his team and promote His Work through our faith and obedience to His Will.

Why are men so hostile and Ungrateful to God?

To keep in mind what is happening now, and what has been happening throughout history, I share this one parable, which accurately and concisely portrays God’s Viewpoint: and then we will get back to the Subject of How Creation plays into the Divine Drama and the whole unfolding of the Testimony of the Messiah, and about both of his visitations upon the Earth (the first, and the second–which is still to come).

This parable only hints at the prophetic events on God’s Calendar, but as we go deeper into the Blood Covenant it will become crystal clear, that all the happenings we know of were planned even before the world was made.

A Short Parable about God’s Calendar, and the #1 event on it:

Matthew 21:33-46 (KJV)
33 Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country: 34 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.
           35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. 36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise. 37 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son. 38 But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance. 39 And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.
           40 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen? 41 They [the listeners in the audience] say unto him, “He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons.”
           42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? 43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. 44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. 45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them. 46 But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet.

Who deserves our praise and Worship?

Again … We have to choose: (1) man’s word as our final authority, or (2) God’s Word as our final authority. 

The one we choose to be our guide by faith will determine our world view. That understanding will either be based upon a lie, or based upon the truth. We can’t have it both ways. And what we believe will dictate our behavior, our thoughts, and deeds.

When we base our faith on God’s Word, we actually see God’s Living Proof that confirms His Word all around us. When we don’t we can’t. And yes, it takes time to investigate God’s Word, and compare it to man’s word. And yes, there will be some confusion, some struggle, some anguish, mentally and emotionally.

Once your realize you have been lied to by friends, by teachers, by political leaders, religious leaders, hollywwood and media heroes, even parents, and closely trusted confidants–your whole world will unravel, for a season. And that is a good thing. It needed to be unraveled, so the lies and the damage they have done can be exposed, and cleansed, and washed, and eventually healed. 

But you will have to see the betrayal, the espionage, the extortion, the lies, the threats, the evil judgements for what they are first, and you cannot walk in darkness and walk in the light at the same time, you have to choose one or the other. So it is important that you arm yourself with the weapons of Life, the weapons of Light, the weapons of Truth to defeat your Enemy, even in your own mind. The mind is the battlefield, and the very place the battle begins. That should be a high priority in your life, if you care anything about eternal life, not only for yourself, but also for your deceived friends, family, neighbors, and strangers who live near you. Every single one of them is a potential eternal brother or sister in Christ. (if you don’t understand or believe this see: real relationships on the front page.)

If you arm yourself with this kind of a mindset, all your past values will change, and be transformed. You will seek the Truth of God, and share it with others regularly and demonstratively. You will not easily allow your friends and family to walk off the blind cliff of evolutionary humanism, naturalism, atheism, globalism, or any other “~ism” or selfish living without Christ and without God in this world.

What is God looking for in return for His Heavenly Gifts?

That little parable gives us the lay of the land. Teaching what God is looking for in return for His Heavenly Gifts. God is looking for fruit. He has given us an incredible Vineyard. He has provided everything we need to bear an incredible harvest of fruit. And He is asking: Where is my portion of the Fruit? Where is my return on my investment?  Why are the my tenants so wicked? When I send them my prophets, they kill them? When I sent my Son, they crucify him?

Very soon, Friends, this season of God’s Creation, and long suffering, will be coming to a close. We are right close to the 6,000 year mark, the six day mark, when the world was created in six days. Then came the seventh day of rest. The Lord is coming to set up his millennial kingdom, for one day of rest. (With the LORD, a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years is like a day.) Terrible things are going to happen. Especially, the deception that takes over the world for 7 years, prior to God’s millennial reign. This Time is close. Daniel wanted to know more about the day that is coming but this is all that God would tell him.

Daniel 12:9-10 (KJV)

And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. 10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.

Even God’s Calendar reflects God’s Nature
and His Supernatural Interventions 

God’s calendar, (that is intimately involved in the Sun, Moon, and Stars) is orderly, steady, reliable. Every day, Every Week, Every Year.  For the most part it is predictable, except when it is not. 

There are two times when God’s Calendar and Timeclock broke rank with the normal time and day sequence. Once, was with Joshua, Son of Nun, Moses apprentice, when Joshua commanded the Sun to stand still, and it did:

Joshua 10:12-13 (KJV)
12 Then spake Joshua to the LORD …
Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon;
and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.
13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed …
So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven,
and hasted not to go down about a whole day.

At One time King Hezekiah asked the Prophet Isaiah,

2 Kings 20:8-11 (KJV)
What shall be the sign that the LORD will heal me, and that I shall go up into the house of the LORD the third day?
          9 And Isaiah said, This sign shalt thou have of the LORD, that the LORD will do the thing that he hath spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten degrees, or go back ten degrees? 10 And Hezekiah answered, It is a light thing for the shadow to go down ten degrees: nay, but let the shadow return backward ten degrees. 11 And Isaiah the prophet cried unto the LORD: and he brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down in the [Sun] dial of Ahaz.

And Guess what runs and records God’s Calendar in the physical sense? 

Did you guess right? The Sun, Moon, and the Stars:

Genesis 1:14-19 (KJV)
14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:

Scientifically we know the Sun brings life to this world. Its energy runs the Water Cycle that creates the rain, snow, sleet, hail, fog, dew. It runs the photosynthesis, that makes the plants grow, as already stated. ALL This has all been done for our benefit. The gifts God has given to his children, but very often these gifts they have been used to promote evil.

Can you imagine how you would feel if you gave a gift to your son, and he used it to harm, manipulate, beat, enslave, and sexually seduce and abuse your other sons and daughters? How might you handle such a situation? What if he set about to enslave every single one of your children? What if your son tried to interbreed  the rest of your children with some kind of perverted demonically inspired sexual deviant abnormalities in an attempt to corrupt the whole Human Family? What might be your response?

Because of man’s sins, judgments from God have come upon the earth, storms, plagues, famines, heat waves, severe weather, tornadoes, earthquakes, hurricanes, typhoons, floods, hail, lightning strikes, and every kind of natural disaster. No matter what is happening in the world around us, it is vitally important that we know where we stand. That we know where we have come from, where we are now, and where we are going. And I mean, about our right standing with God. If that has not been secured, then nothing else really matters. You can gain the whole world, eat all the delicacies in the history of mankind, experience all the pleasures of the flesh and the mind, and still go to hell. So what good is any of it. It is better to be poor, abused, ugly, and starving and go to heaven, than be rich, and comforted, selfish, and personally beautiful, and sexually attractive, and go to hell.

My Personal History:

Growing up even in a nominal christian home that went to church often, I was thought in school men came from monkey-men. After testing out several religions and finally getting involved more deeply in the New Age Movement in High School and College, I was still and evolutionist. Then after meeting some humble, kind, generous missionaries in Taiwan, I decided I would prove the Bible wrong to them. After a long hard fight with the Word, studying it about 4-6 hours a day, I say how it kept proving me wrong, over, and over, and over again. Finally, the Gospel message did break through, but not before a lot of howling, complaining, kicking, and screaming. 🙂  But, even after declaring a faith in Christ, I was still an evolutionist. Some mental habits just don’t die easily. In a season of searching I tried to mix evolution with the Bible, because I sincerely thought that was what any educated person must do. And I tried hard, but the uneasy feeling like I was barking up the wrong tree, kept haunting me for maybe over a year or two. This was back in 1982, and research was done in a library, and their weren’t many English libraries in Taiwan. (At least, I never found one I could easily visit.) So it was up to me and my Bible to figure out. 

One day it dawned on me. What it did with Evolution what I did with the Bible. Stop trying to prove it. And start to simply just prove the Bible. And man, that was freedom. All of a sudden my mind opened up. My eyes became seeing. A whole new World of Majesty and Greatness began to parade in front of my mind, soul, spirit and faith.

I don’t know about you. My guess is that you have been exposed to evolution, and at some point agreed to its validity, even as the rest of humanity. If you were or still are an ardent evolutionist, I can say, that you don’t have to be. You can examine the evidence and think for yourself, you don’t have to follow the crowd, because sometime soon the crowd in going to hit the edge of the cliff called “Destruction” and the momentum of the crowd will push you over the cliff with the rest. My advice is to get away from the Crowd, as soon as possible, go to a quiet place in your mind and heart, and let the God of Creation speak to your soul, the One who Created Light and is Light is waiting, and knocking at your front door, and you can invite him in, and you can learn from Him:

Revelation 3:19-21 (KJV)
19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. 20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. 21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

1 John 2:26-27 (KJV)
26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you. 27 But the anointing [The Holy Spirit] which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

Again, how do we know God exists? What is the Proof?

Simple: God’s Proof is His Creation: God’s Covenant with All Creation further confirms his proof that what God says, God does. And what God does continues to endure according to His Time frame, according to His Written and Unchangeable Testimony. Those who receive God’s Testimony have access to His Thoughts, His Vision, His Plan, His Goals, His Work, and how He wants to include all of His Children into His World and His Family, if they would only remove themselves from the lies they formerly believed about Him, His Creation, His Word, His Kingdom, His Children, and His Son! And they must stop walking in agreement with Satan the liar, the thief, the murderer, the adulterer, and the perverter of every blessing of God to His Children.

The Creation itself testifies that it had a Creator: Every Creation has a beginning, and a source of its creation. No person in their right mind would ever look at a building and say: “I think that building built itself!” or Look at a Mercedes-Benz, and say that car built itself. (This is: Unless he was a university professor, with many college grants from rich atheist donors, that pay his salary, and dictate what he can and cannot teach. So basically, he was paid to lie for a living.)

Buildings DO NOT build themselves, even if it had millions of years to do the building. Not even close, the more time you include in the equation, the less chance you have, of having a building, due to the second law of thermodynamics, the Law of Attrition, or Entropy, which states physical things break down over time, they don’t improve over time. In other words, things decay. Wood decays. Iron rusts. Buildings fall apart. If it took a million years to build a building, the materials you started would be dust and ashes by the end. Nothing about macro evolution passes any true test of science, or historical, or legal testimony. Zero evidence. Zero Truth. No science involved, just another whacky religious belief system:

Again, Every honest person knows every building had a builder, Every Book had a Writer (and a language). Every Design had a Designer.  Every painting had a painter. Everything in creation had a Creator. And every lie has a liar. Every sin has a sinner. Every theft has a thief. Every perversion has a perverter.

In Genesis Day Three: The seeds today are doing exactly what God designed them to do back then on the day He created them. That is God’s testimony to God’s Creation. And that accurately fits the historical record. Animals are doing exactly today what God designed them to do back then, and as they were when they were created: They ALL reproduce according to their kinds. Nothing has changed since the beginning. God has not stopped fulfilling his covenant with His Creation, His living plants and animals endure because of Him.

And yes. God did give the ability of flora and fauna (plants and animals) to adapt to their environments–this was necessary for the survival of both, especially due to the Fall of Mankind, which God knew would happen, and which would create a much harsher environment than He originally created, so the creation itself needed to adapt, and that was part of the design put into creation, giving it the ability to adapt. That is a further sign, and signal, of the depth of wisdom and intelligence that went into the Design of the Creation.

In Genesis Day Four: The Sun, Moon, and Stars, are doing exactly what God designed them to do back then on the day Yahweh created them to do. Not what she, Gaia, or he, Shiva created them to do. If you compare the testimony, one will stand up in a court of law, by the evidence present, the common scene logic, and the historical record, tracing the lineage of people back to the first man and the first woman of the entire human race, and then progressively following the Unbroken Family Blood Line, all the way to the Savior of the World.

Mark this Down: No other Testimony can stand underneath the same weight of scrutiny we can place the Word of God under. None. None have the same integrity, the same clarity, the same historical record, the same unbroken Family lineage, the same prophetic historical record. None have the same textual preservation. And the Word of God is basically available in almost every language under the Sun. And easily accessible to almost everyone–even in Communist and Islamic and Hindu and Buddhist countries, that have laws that hinder christian faith, often the Word of God is still accessible. And easily accessible on the Internet.

As a result men are without an excuse.

Shalom,
