The Creator did everything necessary for the existence of God's new type of beings. He placed the adult man in working position, and therefore, His working in the material world would not be fair for Him. If He would not have left creation then He did not do the perfect job in the Creation. As he who has developed some type of equipment, he sells it to someone who uses it, so the Creator has done with His Creation.
As an owner has rented his field to someone, his continuing to work on this field would not be fair, so the Creator rests from the hard work on this field. Nevertheless, He may go to look at His possession. Usually He looks at it from a distance (the Heaven) so that a tenant (men) would not see Him. If it is necessary, something unusual happened, He comes to solve it.
His first stepping was onto the Eden when man (Adam and Eve) obstructed His order. They did
not obey His command or advice and rather obeyed Satan's advice. The Creator came and cursed
them, made their way harder. Adam and his wife had to work the ground from which they had
been taken. (Genesis 3)
The Creator also made the change of spiritual orientation from eternal to a timely one, from
humans' spirit (God's breath) to the soul (earthly breath).
The Creator acts again when man was killed. This news reached Him because God's "substance" (blood - "in the blood is life" - Leviticus 17:14) cried from the ground (Genesis 4:10). So, the Creator had to step in creation to solve this new happening.
The flesh (of Cain), because was formed from the ground, found rest in the ground. It started to break down into earth's components, dust.
The spiritual substance which is eternal did not know where to go and therefore cried (It shows
that the Creator did not want to create man to die). God could not take this spiritual substance to
the Heaven or to the Eden, because no one had yet died for Adam's sin.
I believe that the spiritual substance remained in that world and existed in the invisible world -
in the spiritual world. It lived like a 'ghost'. It could have rested, to sleep there (1. Samuel 28:15)
if that soul were free from soul's desires.
God had to solve also the killer because He did not intend that man could kill another man. (God
warned Cain before evil acting.) God did not kill Cain because this punishment had to be done
by a man (Creator's law - "death for death and life for life").
Cain did not kill someone from the Heavenly beings (if it could even be possible). Cain stopped
Abel's soul to take nourishment from Abel's flesh. And so, Cain stopped development of God's
seed on the earth. What is not complete is like deformed (Abel was probably a teenager).
Logical reaction of the Creator is to take similar revenge. Therefore, if Cain deformed a growth
of spiritual substance then the Creator deformed Cain's spiritual substance.
Spiritual substance copies body. Men seeing spirits of the dead could recognize them because likeness of body. From it, God put new codes of spiritual orientation in Cain's body. Thus, the Creator put on him a new genetic mark. Since this Creator's stepping down, the new descendants existed on the earth. And so, besides Adam's descendants existed Cain's descendants.
How did Cain look after God's influence in his genetic codes?
Murders kill usually because are angry and Cain was angry. God said to Cain before murdering:
"Why are you angry?" (Genesis 4:6). Therefore God changed his status in relation to creatures
bearing this ferocity. "Now Cain you will under a curse and driven from the ground . . .
When you work the ground, it will no longer yield its crops for you. You will be a restless
wanderer on the earth." (Genesis 4:11-12). From it, the Creator changed the man from the
Homo sapient to the savage. The Homo sapient (like Adam, Abel, Seth etc.) has intelligent to
improve his life style, but the savage persons like Cain and his descendants were not ably to
harvest crops, they lived in the wilderness.
The savage does not have conscience. The conscience at Adam's descendants is inactive spirit -
God's breath is inactive. When humans are saved, Christ Jesus makes this spirit (conscience)
alive. The saved are so new born in spirit.
The Cain's were savage beings. According to the Bible, his descendant Lamech avenged seventy-seven times, he killed a man just because he injured him. (Genesis 4:23-24)
The conclusion is that God has taken the spirit from Cain. And so, Cain started to be spiritually
equal to animals. (Jehovah's Witnesses claim the same; to them, human spirituality is no
different than that of animals.) By others words, Cain and his descendants were sentenced for no
mercy; no possibility to be saved by Christ Jesus.
People might kill animals, because they do not bear God's substance, they do not have the spirit from God. (God gave them life but not His breath - spirit).
Cain acknowledged this change in his inmost being and said: "My punishment is more than I can bear. Today you are driving me from the land, and I will be hidden from your presence; I will be a restless wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me." (Genesis 4:13-14). It may mean that he frightened to be killed like "dog" by hunter. So, he thought that God made him some animal. "But the LORD said to him, 'Not so; if anyone kills Cain, he will suffer vengeance seven times over.'" Although Cain killed the man, the Creator's law (life for life) was not applicable. Why? Well now, God took the eternal life, the possibility to be saved, from Cain. God's will to save is higher than the Creator's law. If God punished Cain by the eternal punishment (the seven means also eternal dimension), then this punishment is at least seven times higher than other punishments in creation.
"Then the Lord put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him." (Genesis 4:15). So, his body ought to have looked like the mix of animal and human. Or, the Creator put on him such a mark that who saw him, he still acknowledged him to be human, but misshapen. This deformation caused rather pity for him than to hunt him.
If God interfered among men by putting the mark on Cain's body, then it means, since that stepping down, we should have two kinds of people by their appearance.
Is it true? Yes. The recent research shows that early modern humans and Neanderthals coexisted
in the Middle East for thousands of years.
Since two kinds of humans exist in relation to eternity, there are two eternal destinies. Cain's descendants (Neanderthals) lost the presence of God and then others lose the presence of God because are killing Jesus Christ (not accepting the Lamb of God). They are cursed for the eternal life in the lake of fire. Others can live eternity at God.
The Creator's next job (influence) occurred when waters had to come from heaven.
This ought to destroy everyone, and therefore, the Creator stepped down to save creation. And
so, we have Noah and his ark. The results of the Flood were shortened life, winter and summer,
the disappearance of some (big) animals, less species of animals on the ground and birds in the
air than in the seas. The deformed people (the Cain's - Neanderthals) disappeared for they had
not been taken into the ark. They ought not to taken because were hidden from God's presence.
The next small influence of the Creator was in time, when to Eber was born Peleg and Joktan (1 Chronicles 1:19). The dry ground was divided at that time. Like the Creator split humans (modern people and Neanderthals) also the earth was split. By this, the Creator shows that although the Noah's ark saved humans still exist for them two grounds or earths. They are the New Earth (Revelation 21:1) and the old continent to be the lake of fire because the sun changed to be a Red Giant.
I conclude that the Creator is still working during the seventh day of the Creation if creation
needs Him. He is supervising the created world that would not be destroyed, and His job
(creating) would not go in vain. Therefore I suppose, if someone is on the seventh part of the
Way, he should just supervise jobs done by others (like pensioners used to).
People had to live outside their houses during this festival. They left houses, which they built
from stones and bricks, and went out on the streets. They went out and brought branches and
built themselves booths on their own roofs, in their courtyards, in the courts of the house of God
and in the squares of the city Jerusalem. They lived for seven days in the booths.
The Lord Jesus Christ wants us to be ready for leaving our place any time. He said that the wind
blows wherever it pleases. "You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or
where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit" (John 3:8). We do not have to be
bound to our houses, because "Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of
Man has no place to lay his head" (Luke 9:58).
The Feast of Tabernacles reminders to Christians that they will leave their houses built from
stones and bricks. We have new houses in the New Jerusalem on the new earth. God built these
houses for us. So, not worry that your work will take, inherit someone else.
They held the feast of Tabernacles for seven or eight days. We have the second feast for seven days. The first, the Feast of Unleavened Bread reminders to us our justification forever.
Now we have received eternal dwelling places with God. The eternal dwelling with God brings
great joy in our hearts.
"Be praise to Lord Jesus Christ!"
When my heart was grieved
and my spirit embittered,
I was senseless and ignorant;
I was a brute beast before you.
Yet I am always with you;
you hold me by my right hand (Psalm 73:21-23).
In looking at the seventh part of the Way during our life, we may notice that it is the period of
rejoicing for everything that we have received until this time. We should not worry for the old
because we have the new (house).
Praises be to our God for His eternal purposes with us!
His successor Solomon did not need to fight against other kingdoms in order to conquer them.
He had a great army but it was used only for peacekeeping purposes, preventing former enemies
from rebelling, keeping borders of that kingdom.
Whoever is on the seventh part of the Way, he does not have to lead such intensive battles because this was done on the sixth part.
Solomon's kingdom flourished in honey and gold. His wealth was the greatest in the ancient
world (1. Kings 10:14-27).
Whoever is on the seventh part of the Way will also have blessed life.
King Solomon ruled with wisdom like nobody before him (1. Kings 3:6-13). People were glad for such wisdom and praised him and God. We can also call his kingdom "the kingdom of the greatest wisdom". Not only his people but also outsiders were praising his wisdom, for instance, the story of the visit the queen from East. She brought gifts for the king but queen of Sheba was also curious about his wisdom (1. Kings 10:1-10).
Whoever is on the seventh part of the Way, he shall have great wisdom. This came as a result of absolving almost the whole Way determined for Christians. The Holy Spirit has been teaching him to rule as God's servant. He can carry this obtained wisdom into his surroundings. Not only Christians but also other people will respect him for it.
King Solomon also established the place where God could dwell among His people (1. Kings
8:10-11). He built the temple in Jerusalem. After the dedication, there was only the one place on
the earth where people ought to worship the Lord of Heaven.
This pick of the History in Israel will continue. It will not be David's son Solomon but David's
son Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ will establish such a kingdom on our earth after Satan is bound.
God's angels will keep them out of the Earth. On the Earth, there will not be any more war, "they
will beat their swords into ploughshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will
not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war any more" (Micah 4:3). We are
calling this kingdom the "Millennium".
Jesus Christ's kingdom will be more blessed than Solomon's kingdom. The earth will flourish.
They will have plentiful harvest of fruit and grain, plenty of milk and honey.
The Lord Jesus Christ will also establish such a ruler on the throne of Israel in the Millennium
that people will look for his wisdom. Nobody will be on his level because the Lord Jesus Christ
will teach only him. Therefore, the government of wisdom will rule. All nations will praise such
a government and be astonished at it. They will not rebel against it because it will be for their
good to be under such wisdom.
God will dwell among them. Therefore, it is the pick of Israeli history.
All nations will come to Jerusalem to worship God dwelling in the Temple.
God will disconnect the New Jerusalem from the Earth when the Lake of Fire comes into being. God's Kingdom will now be under God the Father. I derive this because the Bible says first "the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp" and now "the Lord God will give them light."
At first, God the Son sat on the Throne in the Temple. Now, "the Throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city," so God the Father is on the Throne now, and therefore this refers to God's Throne in Heaven. The words of the Apostle Paul, "then the end will come when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father then the Son himself will be made subject to him who put everything under him, so that God may be all in all" are accomplished now (1 Corinthians 15:24-28).
The Bible says also, "they will reign forever and ever." So the resurrected people are in eternity now, where time does not exist. They first reigned on the Earth for just a thousand years. When the Bible speaks of people reigning besides God, it points to small thrones or seats near God's Throne. God the Son had twelve such thrones during his rule on Earth. We saw twenty-four small thrones at the Throne of God the Father in the Heaven. If God the Son has now come onto God's Throne in the Heaven, then His twelve small thrones (of the Apostles) are also there. Altogether, there are thirty-six small thrones around God's. If they are spaced evenly around the Throne, then this number better fits a circle than the number twenty-four. The twelve princes of God the Son learned to rule on the Earth, and so advance to rule with God the Father.
"His servants will serve him." To serve originally means to be priests. Now they are servants of God the Father. God the Son may take rest.
At first, God the Son sat on the Throne in the Temple, which was in the created (timely) world. Lastly He will return on the Throne in the Heaven but not to rule but to supply everyone (the river of the water of life flow from the Throne.
If I put together all the results of God the Son's energy (creation or evolution first, then making people to have the eternal spirit and then the eternal flesh), then God the Son carries everything needed for existence of God's beings.
Thus, the rest exists also for God the Son when He will bring the new population into the
Heaven. He will finally be on the God's Throne like God, God the Son. Never again He will be
the Man, the resurrected Man.
Vessels on the Presentation table are empty because God has already pour wine, so the spiritual substance for our eternal spirit.
If the wine symbolizes our eternal spirit then the bread has to symbolize our eternal flesh.
Because we are taking "good substances" in our body by eating, we have the symbol bread for
that purpose. John the Baptist came eating neither bread nor drinking wine (Luke 7:33).
However, Jesus Christ commanded to drink wine and to eat bread. (Luke 22:19) 'Jesus took
bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body given for
you; do this in remembrance of me."'. Here we have "bread" - the flesh in remembrance or in
hope.
I understand that His intention was: "you will have the same eternal body as I am going to have after My resurrection and therefore, eat this bread to memorize it".
Jesus says: "Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him" (John 6:56) or "Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For My flesh ("bread" which I will present) is food indeed, and My blood ("the wine" presented by me now) is drink indeed." (John 6:54-55)
By the symbolic definition, BREAD on the table DISPLAYS THE HEAVENLY "MATERIAL" FOR TRANSFORMING THE EARTHLY FLESH INTO THE HEAVENLY FLESH.
Because of Jesus' offering, we should receive the eternal flesh.
I believe that God will not rebuild anybody defectively. No new body will miss even a hair because Jesus said in the parable: "Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered" (Luke 12:6-7).
We may study the eternal body on the resurrected Jesus Christ. '"Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have." When he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet. And while they still did not believe it because of joy and amazement, he asked them, "Do you have anything here to eat?" They gave him a piece of broiled fish, and he took it and ate it in their presence'. (Luke 24:39-43) His body had the same likeness as during His ministry. His disciples could recognize Him as their Teacher. Jesus could also move freely through earth's matters. He could move in the other dimensions and became invisible to people (John 20:26).
His dead body was not left in our world, although it was composed from earthly elements (phosphorous, calcium, hydrogen, oxygen etc.). Consequently, we should say that some new substances transformed His body into the eternal one. It came from Heaven because Jesus Christ could ascend there (Acts 1:9). Practically, receiving some "dust" from God will form the eternal body.
Transfiguration into the Heavenly flesh will take place close to the Earth. Then we have to come to the Heaven to be introduced to God the Father. Because Jesus Christ redeemed people from slavery, It is as if He is marrying a captive woman (Deuteronomy 21:1-12); she must wait to see whether she will be accepted in His home. Therefore, the resurrected salutes God the Father by telling Him their fate depend upon His Mercy. They cried to Him as though their life is at stake: "Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb." (Revelation 7:10) God the Father will accept them.
So, the destiny of humans is: "They will never be in need of food or drink: and they will never
again be troubled by the burning heat of the sun. For the Lamb who is on the high seat will be
their keeper and their guide to fountains of living water: and God will make glad their eyes for
ever." (Revelation 7:16-17)
The Church was transformed into the Bride of the Lamb on the fifth stage, then into the wife of the Lamb during the Millennium. What is the last?
God will disconnect the wife with her dwelling place (the New Jerusalem) from the Earth when the Lake of Fire comes into being. They will move to a new Earth and new heaven. "Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea." (Revelation 21:1) During the Millennium "the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp". The glory of God could be Seven Spirits. Now "the Lord God will give them light." Now, the new population will live in the energy of God the Father.
At first, God the Son sat on the Throne in the Temple, and therefore the resurrected Church reigned with Christ Jesus in the timely world. New eternal beings helped Israel to manage the world. Now, "the Throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city," so God the Father is on the Throne now, and therefore this refers to God's Throne in the Heaven.
The Bible says also, "They will reign forever and ever." So they are in eternity, where time does not exist. They first reigned on the Earth for just a thousand years.
"His servants will serve him." To serve originally meant to be priests. Now they are servants of God the Father. Their position will be the same as that of God's angels; simply they will be just God's servants. Yet to whom should they be priests?
"They will see his face." First they could not see His face directly; they had to have the Lamb between them and God the Father (see Revelation 7:9-10). Now they have advanced to be servants of God the Father, and He is clear in their site. "His name will be on their foreheads." Since they are in service of God the Father, they should work for Him, and so they are under His authority. Therefore, His name must be seen on them, just as when they served God the Son and carried His authority on the Earth.
In earlier chapters and verses of Revelation, we saw 144,000 people with the seal of God on their foreheads, which made it so that no one could harm them, and so that they were able to have their voices heard at the Throne in the Heaven. So, the same awaits us in the Heaven. We will not have our places at the Throne, however, except for the twelve of us; we will have rooms in the New Jerusalem.
Life will be perfect there. "Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb." So, we must not afraid to be thirsty there, as are those dwelling in the Lake of Fire.
During the Millennium, the waters emerged from the Temple, because God the Son was there. Now He is on the Throne in Heaven and so from there the water of life comes out. Waters "flow down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the Tree of Life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing." These trees should be similar to the Tree of Life in The Eden (Genesis 2:9).
"No longer will there be any curse." First, we heard the individual curses of people and later their collective curses when all the nations rushed into the war to destroy Jerusalem. Now they have lost any connection to the Earth, where cursing will continue forever. (The Earth is in the Lake of Fire.)
I think, they are not more the wife of the Lamb but they are new heavenly angels. Their register
is the Book of Life. Their rulers are twelve elders from them and their King is God the Father.
The resurrected humans will serve God the Father like his servants. So, they will rest from
working in creation (the Earth).
God's purpose for the Creation is to substitute Satan and his followers. So, God does not need just members, but also adequate persons on thrones. Therefore, we have parts of the Way and consequently not the same rewards for them. Rewards go higher and higher. Now we are in the end, and therefore, the reward must be the highest one.
The reward is: "the right to sit with the Lord Jesus Christ on His throne". It does not say to sit on
God's Throne in Heaven, because that Throne is not Jesus Christ's throne. It is the Throne of
God the Father and consequently, the Throne for the Trinity.
Besides the Throne for God there are also other thrones around God's Throne (Revelation 4:4).
However, now it means the throne over the Earth because God created the world on the Earth to
be ruled by God the Son as the King of Kings. (Revelation 19:16): "On his robe and on his
thigh he has this name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS".
The Lord also promised the ruling positions to his disciples: "I tell you the truth, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel." (Matthew 19:28)
Thus, Christian overtaking the seventh part of the Way and then passing away will be resurrected and sit on the throne to rule our earth during the Millennium.
God bless everyone who is worthy to be with Him!
May the Heavenly Father bless everyone willing to continue on the Way!
