PAGE 8 BEAUTY AND THE BEAST (THE DARKNESS)

THE FIRST THREE VERSES OF THE BIBLE INTRODUCE GOD IN THREE PERSONS, FATHER, SON AND HOLY SPIRIT, AND IT INTRODUCES SATAN. THE FIRST VERSE READS:

"IN THE BEGINNING, GOD (ELOHIM IS USED; THE PLURAL FORM OF GOD) CREATED THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH." GENESIS 1:1

BEFORE THE CREATION OF THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH,  YESHUA AND THE FATHER WERE TOGETHER MAKING THE PLAN FOR HUMANKIND ON EARTH.  YESHUA, JESUS SAYS IN JOHN 17 THAT HE TALKED WITH THE FATHER ABOUT THE GLORY THAT HE HAD WITH HIM BEFORE OUR WORLD WAS CREATED:

"AND NOW, FATHER, GLORIFY ME IN YOUR PRESENCE WITH THE GLORY I HAD WITH YOU BEFORE THE WORLD BEGAN."

IN 2 TIMOTHY 1:9, PAUL TELLS TIMOTHY THAT "...THIS GRACE WAS GIVEN US IN CHRIST JESUS BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF TIME, BUT IT HAS NOW BEEN REVEALED THROUGH THE APPEARING OF OUR SAVIOR, CHRIST JESUS..."

IT IS SAID IN JOHN 1:3 THAT GOD THE FATHER CREATED EVERYTHING THROUGH YESHUA, JESUS:

"IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD, AND THE WORD WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. HE WAS WITH GOD IN THE BEGINNING.  THROUGH  HIM ALL THINGS WERE MADE; WITHOUT HIM NOTHING WAS MADE THAT HAS BEEN MADE."

THE WORD FOR BEGINNING IN HEBREW IS "BERESHEIT". IN HEBREW, EVERY LETTER IN A WORD HAS A MEANING AND IT IS A PICTURE. AMAZINGLY, IN THIS ONE WORD WE HAVE THE PURPOSE FOR CREATION. IT MEANS GOD IS BUILDING A HOUSE FOR HIS SON. IT SAYS: SON OF GOD CROWNED WITH THORNS UPON HIS HEAD IN A TREE; HE IS THE THE GRAIN OF THE FIRST FRUITS OFFERING IN THE TEMPLE WITH THE FIRE THAT FELL FROM HEAVEN; THE SON OF GOD IS THE GIFT OF THE COVENANT.

THE SECOND VERSE OF GENESIS DESCRIBES WHAT THE EARTH WAS LIKE AT THE BEGINNING:

"NOW THE EARTH WAS FORMLESS AND EMPTY, DARKNESS WAS OVER THE SURFACE OF THE DEEP, AND THE SPIRIT OF GOD WAS HOVERING OVER THE WATERS." THIS IS WHAT THE EARTH WAS LIKE BEFORE THE LIGHT OF YESHUA WAS ESTABLISHED ON EARTH.

THE EARTH WAS FORMLESS AND EMPTY; THE HEBREW WORDS FOR FORMLESS IS TOHU AND EMPTY IS BOHU. THESE WORDS MEAN CONFUSION, CHAOS AND EMPTINESS.

THE HEBREW WORD FOR DARKNESS IS "CHASEK" AND IT MEANS LITERALLY DARKNESS AND FIGURATIVELY MEANS MISERY, DESTRUCTION, DEATH, SORROW AND WICKEDNESS.

THE HEBREW WORD FOR DEEP IS "TEHOM" MEANING DEEP, SEA AND ABYSS. THE "ABYSS" IN SCRIPTURE IS THE ABODE OF THE DEAD (ROMANS 10:7), THE ABODE OF DEMONS (LUKE 8:31), THE ABODE OF THE ANTI-CHRIST (REV 11:7, 17:8).  JOB ASKS "...WHERE IS THE ABODE OF 'CHOSEK', DARKNESS?" JOB 38:9

THIS DARKNESS AND CHAOS OVER EARTH IS BECAUSE OF THE FALL OF LUCIFER TO THE EARTH.

BEFORE THE EARTH WAS CREATED, GOD CREATED ANGELS THAT SERVED HIM.  THESE ANGELS LOOK LIKE HUMANS BUT ARE CREATED HIGHER AND GREATER THAN HUMANS. THE ANGELS WERE DIVIDED INTO THREE GROUPS AND EACH HAS ITS OWN LEADER.  THE LEADERS ARE CALLED: GABRIEL, MICHAEL AND LUCIFER.  ALL OF THE ANGELS WERE CREATED GOOD; HOWEVER, LUCIFER, WHOSE NAME MEANT THE SHINING ONE OR MORNING STAR BECAME ARROGANT AND REBELLED AGAINST GOD.

GOD PROPHECIES THROUGH THE PROPHET EZEKIEL AND ISAIAH ABOUT LUCIFER'S REBELLION. WE ARE GIVEN A PICTURE OF LUCIFER BEFORE THE REBELLION, TENDING THE THRONE OF GOD IN EDEN, WHICH I BELIEVE IS THE HEAVENLY EDEN AS OPPOSED TO THE EARTHLY EDEN - THIS IS THE HEAVENLY GARDEN OF GOD:

"YOU WERE THE MODEL OF PERFECTION, FULL OF WISDOM AND PERFECT IN BEAUTY. EVERY PRECIOUS STONE ADORNED YOU: RUBY, TOPAZ AND EMERALD, CHRYSOLITE, ONYX AND JASPER, SAPPHIRE, TURQUOISE AND BERYL. YOUR SETTINGS AND MOUNTINGS WERE MADE OF GOLD; ON THE DAY YOU WERE CREATED THEY WERE PREPARED. YOU WERE ANOINTED AS A GUARDIAN CHERUB, FOR SO I ORDAINED YOU. YOU WERE ON THE HOLY MOUNT OF GOD; YOU WALKED AMOUNG THE FIERY STONES. YOU WERE BLAMELESS IN YOUR WAYS FROM THE DAY YOU WERE CREATED TILL WICKEDNESS WAS FOUND IN YOU. THROUGH YOUR WIDESPREAD TRADE- YOU WERE FILLED WITH VIOLENCE, AND YOU SINNED. SO I DROVE YOU IN DISGRACE FROM THE MOUNT OF GOD, AND I EXPELLED YOU, O GUARDIAN CHERUB FROM THE FIERY STONES. YOUR HEART BECAME PROUD ON ACCOUNT OF YOUR BEAUTY, AND YOU CORRUPTED YOUR WISDOM BECAUSE OF YOUR SPLENDOR. SO I THREW YOU TO EARTH..."EZEKIEL 28:12

EZEKIEL 29

AND IN ISAIAH 14 IT IS SAID ABOUT LUCIFER: "YOU SAID IN YOUR HEART, 'I WILL ASCEND TO HEAVEN; I WILL RAISE MY THRONE ABOVE THE STARS OF GOD....I WILL ASCEND ABOVE THE TOPS OF THE CLOUDS; I WILL MAKE MYSELF LIKE THE MOST HIGH'"

BECAUSE OF LUCIFER'S REBELLION, HE AND THE ANGELS UNDERNEATH HIM WERE CAST DOWN TO THE EARTH. HE AND HIS ANGELS ARE THE DARKNESS THAT ARE THERE. ONCE ON EARTH HIS NAME IS CHANGED FROM LUCIFER TO HASATAN, THE ENEMY OR ADVERSARY OF GOD.
