the Universe, (Mark 13:10; Acts 3:21; Rev 5:10; 20:4; Isa 65:20; Rev20:11-15; Rev 21:1-7).

To announce the arrival of the New Order of The Ages under the

DIVINE GOVERNMENT OF GOD RULED BY THE KING of kingsand LORD of lords, (Isa 9:6-7; Zech 14:3-9; Isa 2:2-4); assisted by144,000 immortal kings and priests, (Rev 14:1). The Kingdom ofGod will rule over the remnants of the Great Tribulation and the 7Last Plagues, one-tenth of the worlds population (Isa 6:11-13;24:1-21; 26:19; Mat 24:21-22; Rev 6:4, 8; 8:11; 9:11, 15), whowill be left alive, and considered worthy to be taught Gods Word,Gods Will, Gods Way, and do Gods Work, (Isa 2:1-4), andunderstand the deep things of God. All working togethercheerfully and joyfully to build the civilization of the Millenniumunder God, to shine in truth and in righteousness (Isa 26:9), andin peace (Isa 32: 17-18).

To TEACH the pure WORD of GOD. To announce that the GoodNews of True Salvation is now being fully PREACHED andPUBLISHED among all the Gentiles. To bear the wonderful GoodNews that the door to the Gentiles has now been opened wide bythe Captain of Salvation, the Author and Finisher of the Faith, theCHRIST of GOD, (Acts 14:27; 18:6; 28:28; Col. 1:27).

To make it known to them that their true hope is in CHRISTJESUS. To be PROCLAIMED to all of them without fail that thehope, and TIMES of the Gentiles is soon to be fulfilled, (Mat28:19; Rom 11:11, 12, 13, 18; 15:16; Eph 3:6; 2 Tim. 1:11; Lk21:24).

To finally make known, reveal, make crystal clear, that theULTIMATE FINAL DESTINY OF MAN IS TO BE BORN AGAININTO THE GOD FAMILY AND KINGDOM, OF GOD, BORN OFTHE SPIRIT, BORN OF GOD, IMMORTAL, ONE IN GOD, (Gen1:26-27; Jn 3:3-21; Jn 17:21).

To carry the WARNING, and for it to be a WITNESS to theseeastern nations.

To DECLARE the arrival of the PROPHESIED DISTRESS andTUMULT among the nations, (Col 1:28; Acts 1:8). That this shall


8/69

be made intense by the arrival of the PROPHESIED worldwideDECEPTION, (Mat 24:4-5; 11:23-26).

To sound the trumpet and push the button of the alarms of WAR,

even as the world is swamped with RUMORS OF WARS, (Mat24:6-7).

To WARN and TELL to the peoples of the East that the FOURHORSEMEN of the Apocalypse now rides with ferocious vigor.Their long journeys across the millennia beginning from inside ofthe GARDEN OF EDEN launched by the lying evil and wickedserpent,, and will soon climax in the destruction of the wicked oneand his legions as evil and wicked, that old serpent Satan thedevil and his deceived fallen angels, (Rev 6:2 {white}; 6:4 {red};6:5 {black}; 6:8 {pale}.

To announce the arrival of the prophesied EARTHQUAKES, ofFAMINES, of PESTILENCES, and ALL THESE shall be theBEGINNING OF SORROWS, (Mat 24:7-8).

To warn of the presence of the prophesied FALSE PROPHETS,who, from among them, the many will look to as unto gods, (Mat24:1, 23-28).

That the Work of God - 21 st Century, is now here. Having beenraised by the Living Christ to commence the great beginnings ofthis phase of the Work of God. Because a short work will theLord make upon the earth, and for us His loyal servants, a shorttime to do it in, (Rom 9:28).

That we are NOT out to try to convince, NEITHER to forcibly tryto convert anybody, or anyone, anywhere, anytime. Yet we must,as commanded by the Apostle and High Priest of our Profession,teach all men everywhere to repent for the remission of sins, andto do all things that Christ the Son of God has commanded us.(Mat 28:19-20; Lk 24:47).

That we earnestly teach and actively practice THE WAY OFPEACE, (Mat 5:9; I Tim 2:2; Jas 3:17). For the world lostknowledge of the way of peace (Rom 3:17; Isa 59:8).


9/69

That we enthusiastically TEACH and faithfully PRACTICE theWay to LOVE GOD with all our heart, our soul, and our mind, withall our strength, and with all our understanding, (Mat 22:37; Mk12:30, 33; Lk 10:27).

That we sincerely teach, and continually practice THE WAY TOLOVE OUR NEIGHBOR AS WE LOVE OURSELVES, (Mat 5:43;19:19; 22:39; Mk 12:31; Lk 10:27; Rom 13:9; Gal 5:14; Jas 2:8).

That we diligently teach and zealously practice HOW TO HAVETRUE SUCCESS now in this time, and in the world to come,SPIRITUAL SUCCESS with EVERLASTING LIFE, (Mat 6:33; Mk10:28-30; Jn 13:17; Isa 58:13-14).

That we seriously teach and lovingly practice turning back thehearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of thechildren to their fathers, (Mal 4:6).

That we gently, tenderly, patiently FEED and NOURISHSPIRITUALLY THE FLOCK for whom Christ The Redeemer, theLamb of GOD died, and purchased with His own blood, (John

21:15, 16, 17; Acts 20:28; I Pet 5:2). That we compassionately, mercifully, and so kindly HEAL THE

SICK, (Lk 9:1,2; 10:9), when we encounter them as we go ourway to proclaim the Gospel of the Kingdom of God.

That we do practice pure religion undefiled before God and makevisits and care for the helpless orphans, the fatherless, and thewidows in their affliction, (Jas 1:27).

That we point to the nations and its peoples, and families, that theEternal Creator God has left a window open for the blessing ofhealth and prosperity to be known if they would be glad and singfor joy, and PRAISE THE GOD OF CREATION for all Hiswonderful works! That they would learn to PRAY and PRAISE theEverlasting LORD, (Ps 67:1-7; Ps 147:1-20; 148:1-14; 149:1-9;150;1-6; Mat 26.30; Mk 14.26; Eph 5.19; Col 3:16; Jas 5:13).

Ultimately, we have to open the minds of the multitude to thedifference between the holy, and the profane, (Ezek 22:26;


10/69

10

44:23), to the end that we can turn many to righteousness, (Dan12:3). Not by might, nor by power but by Gods Spirit, (Zech 4:6).For this is Gods Will. By His Word. On His Way. To fulfill HisWork.

All these, to FEARLESSLY and COURAGEOUSLY PREPARE THE WAYfor the return of the GREAT GOD, our LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST,King of kings, and Lord of lords, (Mat 24:14; Mk 13:10; Titus 2:13; Rev17:14; 19:16).

THIS IS THE VISION THAT THE LORD JESUS CHRIST INSPIRES FORTHE WORK OF GOD 21 ST CENTURY TO DO IN THE ENTIRE EASTERNHEMISPHERE.

Dear Friend,

RECEIVE YOUR GIFT OF DIVINE LIGHT FOR TOTAL ENLIGHTENMENTFROM THE ETERNAL CREATOR GOD OF THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE.

HE DESIGNED THE WHOLE CREATION TO BE INHERITED BY THEHUMAN RACE. ALL THE HUMAN FAMILIES HAVE THEIR HERITAGEIN EVERYTHING THAT THE DIVINE MAKER OF ALL THINGS GOOD,BEAUTIFUL AND WONDERFUL EVER MADE. THE ALL MERCIFUL,BLESSED SOVEREIGN OF ALL THE WORLDS LOOKS AT OUR PLANETEARTH, HIS SHINING JEWEL ORBITING IN OUTER SPACE AROUNDTHE CREATED SUN. HE SEES NO BOUNDARIES ON ALL THE LANDSAND SEAS. HE SEES NO BLACK SKIN. NEITHER YELLOW. NORWHITE. NOT ANY BROWN. HE CONSIDERS NO RACIAL DIVIDES. HESEES NOT RICH MANS GOLD, NEITHER POOR MANS PENNIES INTHEIR HANDS. HE SEES NOT THE SCEPTRES AND CROWNS ON THEHEADS, NEITHER THE PLOWS AND SPEARS HELD BY THE ARMS.


11/69

11

NONE IN ALL THESE THAT HE CREATED IN HIS IMAGE, IN HISLIKENESS. HE LOOKS INTO THEIR HEARTS!

ULTIMATELY, THE SONS OF MAN, BORN OF WOMAN, WERE MADE TO

BECOME THE CHILDREN OF GOD, THEY WERE MADE TO INHERIT,AND TO TAKE POSSESSION, OF ALL THE CREATED WORLDS, ANDTHEREAFTER, BY THE GRACE AND WILL OF GOD, ESTABLISHPEACE, AND SPREAD THE INFINITE BLESSINGS OF HAPPINESS ANDJOY FOREVERMORE IN ALL OF THEM! BEGINNING WITH THE NEWWORLD SOON TO COME. SEE! IT IS JUST ACROSS THE NOT DISTANTHORIZON. THERE, LOOK, IT IS JUST AROUND THE BEND!

SO AMAZING, INDEED! FAR BEYOND AND SO WAY ABOVE ALL THATTHE CREATIVE IMAGINATIONS OF SCIENCE FICTION WRITERSCOULD POSSIBLY VISUALIZE. BACKWARDS AND FORWARDS, ININFINITY NO FUTURIST COULD EVEN BEGIN TO CONCEIVE: THEGLORY AND WONDER OF THE WORLD TO COME!

NO REVERED MYSTICS OF THE ORIENT, OF PROFOUNDESTDISCERNING, WOULD CONDESCEND TO EVER GLIMPSE INTOTHESE EVERLASTING PROMISES AND VERITIES AS THE TRUEREALITY. NO PHILOSOPHERS OF THE WEST, OF MOST RESPECTEDREPUTE AND KEENEST INTELLECT, COULD RATIONALIZE THESEUNDENIABLE ABSOLUTES. NO WORLD RENOWNED SCIENTIST OFSHARPEST ACUITY IN EVERY AGE COULD MEASURE NEITHERQUANTIFY, LET ALONE QUALIFY: THE AWESOME MARVELS OF THEMIND AND WISDOM OF GOD, HIS EVERLASTING MERCY, AND HOW,BY HIS WORD AND COMMAND, THE WHOLE UNIVERSE CAME TO BE.

THESE PIERCING INVISIBLE PRINCIPLES AND INVIOLABLE EDICTS,THESE DECREES AND EXPRESSIONS OF DIVINE WILL DRAWN FROMTHE HOLY WRIT SET INTO THESE WORDS AND SPOKEN TO YOU ARESPIRIT, AND THEY ARE LIFE.

THESE ARE SENT FOR YOU AND TO YOU. THEY SHALL NOT RETURNTO THE DIVINE AND HOLY ONE THAT SENT THEM EMPTY, NEITHERVOID. THE ORDAINED PURPOSE FOR WHICH THEY WERE SENT WILLBE FULFILLED. THIS IS THE INVIOLATE WILL OF GOD.

FINALLY, THE MEANING OF MEANING, WHICH ANSWER HAS BEENSOUGHT FOR AGES, CAN NOW BE UNDERSTOOD. THIS, NO WALKING


12/69

AVATAR BEFORE, TODAY, AND HEREAFTER EVER DID, AS CRYSTALCLEAR, EVER LOGICALLY EXPLAIN, OR COULD, CONFIDENTLY,TRUTHFULLY PROCLAIM. NO SCHOLAR OF DEEPEST RESEARCHCOULD THE GLORIOUS TRUTH EVER FOUND. NO HISTORIAN OF THE

PROFOUNDEST BREADTH AND DEPTH COULD EVER FULLYUNDERSTAND AND TO ORDINARY LAYMAN EXPOUND, LEAST OFALL: WHY HISTORY KEEPS REPEATING ITSELF: THE SHOCKINGTRUE STORY OF HOW THE FAMILY OF MAN TURNED BACK ANDDEPARTED FROM THE PRESENCE OF GOD FROM THE BEGINNINGAND WENT THEIR WAY. MANS PROUD WAY. MANS DEFIANTDUALIZED THOUGHTS FROM DUALIZED MINDS. MANS FLAWED,STUBBORN WILL. MANS VAIN WORKS. ALL UNDER THE SWAY OFSATAN THE DEVIL, FOR SIX THOUSAND YEARS. IN ALL ITSENTIRETY. THAT IT MUST NOW COME TO AN END. TOTALLYUPROOTED. FULLY BURNED UP. AND THE 1,000 YEARS OF GLORIOUSCIVILIZATION UNDER THE ETERNAL CREATOR GOD AND HISKINGDOM MUST SOON BEGIN!

THE HIGHEST HEIGHTS IN THE ENTIRE COSMOS TAUGHT BY THEMOST ACCOMPLISHED YOGI, THE ENLIGHTENED GURU, THEREVERED MASTER, THE HONORED EARTHLY PATRIARCHS OF ALLRELIGIOUS FAITHS, THE FOREMOST NEW AGE UTOPIAN DREAMERS.THE WORSHIPPED SHAMANS, HAVE THEIR LIMITEDCORRESPONDENCE OF THE MIND AND SPIRIT ROVING ANDREVOLVING IN THE MYSTICAL AND SECULAR REALM AND FAINTLIGHT OF THE SURROUNDING CREATED EXISTING COSMOS. ALL OFTHESE WHO HAVE LED MANKIND FOR SIX THOUSAND YEARS SEETHE COLLECTIVE RESULT. THE FINAL BOTTOMLINE. THEREPEATING CYCLES OF THE RISE AND FALL OF CIVILIZATIONSWITHOUT FAIL. YOU SEE IT YOURSELF. BLESSED ARE YOU, FOR ALLOF THESE HAVE LONGED TO KNOW AND SEE WHAT YOU NOW READAND HOLD IN YOUR HANDS, AND COULD NOT, AND HAVE NOT!

FOR THESE ARE DELIVERED FROM ABOVE BEYOND THE DEFINEDBORDERS OF THE CREATED UNIVERSE. NOW REVEALED, AND MADEKNOWN FROM THE DIVINE DIMENSION OF UNAPPROACHABLELIGHT WHERE THE EVERLASTING GOD DWELLS.

NOW ALL THESE TERRESTRIAL HIGH THINGS MUST CEDE AND

YIELD TO THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD

WHICH UNVEILS THE FULL PANOPLY OF THE DEEP THINGS OF GODAND THEGLORIOUS HEAVENLY TRUTH THAT SETS MAN FREE. FREE FROMSPIRITUAL CAPTIVITY. LIBERATED FROM SPIRITUAL BONDAGE BY

THE WICKED ONE, THE GREAT DRAGONTHAT OLD SERPENT,CALLED THE DEVIL, AND SATAN, WHICH DECEIVETH THE WHOLEWORLD, (REV. 12:9, 10; 20:3, 10).

READ THIS THEN. SKIM IT NOT. IT COMES IN ONE PART.

REREAD IT. SLOWLY, IF YOU WILL. AT YOUR OWN PACE.

FOCUS FOR A TIME. ONE PART AT A TIME.

MEDITATE ON THESE IN YOUR MORNINGS.

CONTEMPLATE ON IT AT NOON.

DWELL UPON THESE IN THE EVENTIDES.

THEN LINK THEM UP FOR THEY FIT PERFECTLY WELL.

THEN YOU WILL SEE THE WONDERFUL WHOLE.

THERE IS NO TIME LIMITATION.

THERE IS NO ONE TO PUSH YOU ON.

AND DO PRAY. THE ANCIENT PROPHET DANIEL, ERSTWHILEPRESIDENT OF ALL THE GOVERNORS OF THE KINGDOM OFBABYLON, UNDER KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR, OF THE GREATESTEMPIRE IN HISTORY, PRAYED THREE TIMES A DAY. IT WAS THEKEY TO HIS AWESOME SUCCESS. YOU, ALSO, COULD.

NOW IT IS IN YOUR HANDS. IT IS YOURS. CHERISH IT AS UNTO ATREASURE PRICELESS BEYOND COUNTING. FOR NOW, THE TRUERICHES AND THE SECRET OF IMMORTALITY IS IN YOUR HANDS, ITHAS ARRIVED IN YOUR LIFE. AT LAST! NOW SEIZE IT. NEVER,NEVER, NEVER LET IT GO!

Is God retired somewhere in Heaven and hasforgotten us after He has created us?

If God exists, why did He let little Tommy die?

If God is God, why do we have wars andendless wars?

Is there deliverance from all the suffering?

THE whole planet Is groaning and aching because of the painand the suffering of the inhabitants of the Earth!

There is not a single second that passes by in every single day thatthe sun rises and the sun sets that there is no cry of agony ceasing norpausing from the lips and souls of human beings everywhere.

UNIVERSAL SUFFERING IS REAL!

But why all the human suffering going on? Is not God all merciful? All kind? All seeing? And is He not the Creator of all of us? And canHe not stop all the suffering? What is the answer to all of this?

''Please, will somebody, please''Please, will somebody, please''Please, will somebody, please''Please, will somebody, pleasesomeone somewhere,someone somewhere,someone somewhere,someone somewhere,lend an earlend an earlend an earlend an ear and give us theand give us theand give us theand give us theanswer!''answer!''answer!''answer!''

rope, and chose to kill himself or herself. Somebody somewheresomeone could no longer bear the suffering. They just have to give up.''What's the use?'' They snap and break. Then they jump from a

bridge to die. Or take a gun and shot themselves and die. Or rushbefore an onrushing train and die. Or drink arsenic or cyanide. Or geta rope and hang themselves to death. Or in our day and time even ask permission for doctor-assisted suicide.

More and more each day, the list grows longer. And the more people hear about them or read about them, the copycat

in human nature seems to say: ''There is the solution.''''There is the solution.''''There is the solution.''''There is the solution.'' And morefollow. Persons taking their own lives as the ultimate and finalsolution.

Or many others survive in the hope of a better day. But the betterday never comes. It is said, that man are victims of their circumstancesand there they are, in the hundreds of millions in every corner of the

world: men and women living lives of quiet desperation!

THIS SUFFERING?THIS SUFFERING?THIS SUFFERING?THIS SUFFERING?

It is in the nature of man to blame somebody or someone for thepain and the suffering that he goes through. The finger never points tohimself but every time they point a finger, the other four fingers pointback to the pointer. It is all very sad.

We commiserate and emphasize with every person that are in thethroes, and depths of unspeakable suffering. There is the famous

English poet, John Donne, who wrote, ''Every man's death diminishes

me. For I am involved in mankind. Do not ask for whom the belltolls, it tolls for thee!'' How very true. And we truly share with the restof mankind that pain and grief. The mourning. The utter, all

consuming sadness. For we truly are involved in mankind. As we are apart of the Family of Man.

But should we blame anyone? Is finding a scapegoat the answer?It would be best to find the truth. To know the truth. To understandthe truth, instead. For then, the truth shall set us free.

Free to rise into a day of hope. To rekindle the flickering hope thatlies eternal, as they say, in the human breast. For it is good to havehope of a better tomorrow. Then man can move on. To go on living.

And have a reason to live thereby.

YES, THERE IS A REASON YES, THERE IS A REASON YES, THERE IS A REASON YES, THERE IS A REASON

FOR ALL HUMANFOR ALL HUMANFOR ALL HUMANFOR ALL HUMANSUFFERING!SUFFERING!SUFFERING!SUFFERING!

Yes, Virginia, God cares. Yes, He is not asleep. And has notforgotten us. Yes, He is merciful. Yes, He is a kind and loving GOD

who created us. And, yes, the kind, merciful, loving Creator God waits on us. For

we, His Creation, have forgotten Him. Instead of Him forgetting us.

We do, most of the time, when we are not suffering, forget Him. When we do our own thing and go our own way, we do put God off our minds. Or the knowledge about God. We would rather go ourown way and do our best to do things according to our will.

We would like to deny this. And yet, it is the truth.


28/69

28

Moreover, human suffering is brought upon us by ourselves. And we don't know it. Or do we?

The principles of living that would make us live a life of blessednessand peace, are known to many of us. But we would rather discoverhow to live by trial and error instead of living by revealed principles of life that are already known to us. We like searching and beingchallenged. It excites us.

Truly it shall be most shocking to realize this. But in order to helpthe rest of suffering mankind, we must search ourselves. For then weare on the right path to finding the true answers.

It is true that we are all victims of our circumstances. Or by thearound. Or when we are engulfed by the pressures of the around, thenit brings us suffering. It is also when we cave in to the demands of thearound that we bring suffering upon ourselves.

Among the thousand and one reasons that cause us suffering, onereason stands foremost: we bring suffering upon ourselves. We blameno one. We must blame nobody. But we must not also keep blamingourselves, consumed in self-guilt.

Instead we must know the meaning of repentance. Not regret.Repentance is Godly grief. A recognition of the wretched wrongs that

we have committed. And an acknowledgement before our Creator that we have done so. And thereafter to ask for our Creator's forgiveness.To invoke the God of mercy for grace and help. For succor. Andbelieve that He will help. If we do not believe, and instead accuse God,then we bring the punishment and penalty of our own wrong uponourselves and we suffer heavily and often drown in its consequences.

BUT WHY DID GODBUT WHY DID GODBUT WHY DID GODBUT WHY DID GODLET LITTLE TOMMY DIE?LET LITTLE TOMMY DIE?LET LITTLE TOMMY DIE?LET LITTLE TOMMY DIE?

Little Tommy was a very lovely little boy. Be-dimpled. Full of laughter and full of life. He is the apple not only of his father's eye buthis mother's and brother's and sister's, and just about everyone else.He looked every bit and every inch a bright and young chap. And oneday he ran out of his yard to run after a ball. He ran right into apassing car. Yes, little Tommy was dead. And everybody asked thatquestion in every corner and mind and heart, in their deepest momentsof grief. They asked ''Oh, God, why did you let little Tommy die?''

What's the answer? To this incredibly pain-encumbered questionthrough all the thousands of years that men have been here on theearth. Where was God when little Tommy was run over by the car?

First, we must understand what God Himself had said. In the Book of Ecclesiastes 9:11, it is said that, ''time and chance happen to all.'' Itis important to understand that there are laws set in motion thatoperate in nature and this is one of them.

And what therefore must parents do?

They must always keep an eye on their little Tommys'. For the little

babies, the little boy's and girls are restless and full of energy. Andevery precaution must be taken by parents to see to it that their eyes arealways on little Tommy. It is their responsibility to have a guarded eyeall the time during their waking hours. For babies and children do notknow the meaning of risk and chance. And when, therefore, thesethings happen, even as they are caused by a thousand and many other

ways which may well have been, then it is time to understand that first

of all parents are responsible for their children.


30/69

30

The adults around the little boys and girls are responsible. And when, in spite of all precautions, they die in any accident or in any sickness, it is to open the eyes of adults that they have a responsibility in

such a loss.

Yes, human beings are mortal and flesh and blood and at any moment and time they can die. They can be in an accident for timeand chance happeneth to them all. And where does God stand in all of this? Parents must understand that the Creator God holds the parentsas stewards of His heritage of little children. He would require that

parents should be praying for the protection and blessing of thechildren by God and His angels.

In certain cases parents do not deserve their children. Sometimes inthese cases, there are crocodile tears shed when children die. And God

who gives life, and who takes it away, would allow such a thing tohappen. If indeed the parents suffer in pain for the death of littleTommy, and if they learn a lesson then well and good. As for poorlittle Tommy, God the Almighty has taken his spirit back with Himand his little body - the living soul that was, returns to the earth. Back to the dust from where it came from. To rest and to sleep until thesecond resurrection where he will be raised up in a new mortal body and live up to one hundred years old in a better environment.

WHY ALL THE WARS? WHY ALL THE WARS? WHY ALL THE WARS? WHY ALL THE WARS?IS GOD ASLEEP?IS GOD ASLEEP?IS GOD ASLEEP?IS GOD ASLEEP?

The tragedy of war has blighted the human race since timeimmemorial. Since records were kept six thousand years ago, humanbeings had been at war. We will never in this life be able to really count the numbers of the war dead. Every generation for thousands of

years have seen war and suffering. The culture of martial conflict isingrained and steeped in human history. Heroism in war is valued andadored by the around. By the very people who get involved with them.It is only the mothers who brought those men and women into this

world who seem to really suffer. The call-to-arms has been thestandard banner and trumpet heard thru endless hundreds of years.Men in uniform had been glorified with medals of valour when they

will have gone to war. And did come back having snuffed out morelives of the enemy than most. And the enemy is the one on the other

Long, long ago, when God created man, He gave our first parents

the truth of His Way of life. Most everybody know the story. The firstcouple, Adam and Eve, disobeyed their Creator God. They rejectedGod's Way. They decided to try it their own way. They decided toexperiment in trial and error. For it seemed to be so good andchallenging to do so. It seemed to be so clever to find their way in thearound. It seemed to be so good to depend on their natural ability tofind solutions to human needs and human problems. In short and insum, they turned away from God's Way. And they went their own

way. And their way ended up to be Satan's way. Satan the devil, theadversary. The wicked one has his twisted way.

They were thrown out of the Garden of Eden and the lingeringbacklash of their disobedience produced a duality in their minds andbodies.

They began to have both evil and good. They had allowed theSatanic spirit to get into their minds. Their bodies produced two kindsof children. One was evil, and one was good. Cain was the wickedone. Abel was the opposite, the good one. The evil spirit went to waragainst the spirit of good. Yes, the author of war possessed Cain and

went to war against his own brother and murdered him. And why did And why did And why did And why didGod not stop the murder?God not stop the murder?God not stop the murder?God not stop the murder?

MAN WAS CREATEDMAN WAS CREATEDMAN WAS CREATEDMAN WAS CREATED A FREE MORAL AGENT A FREE MORAL AGENT A FREE MORAL AGENT A FREE MORAL AGENT

In contrast to the creation by God of the angels who were createdimmortal spirits with extraordinary strength, (Psalms 104:4; 103:20),man was created mortal with a free will and choice.

Why? Why? Why? Why? Because God has a higher purpose for man than He has forthe angels; after men became His children. But before they can becomeHis children, they must develop Godly character thru a lifetime of making the right choices and decisions to obey or disobey God of theirown free will. In that way, at the end of their appointed time, they

would eventually qualify for the rewards that await those who will begiven the gift of salvation and everlasting life. And they will haveproven that they will keep obeying God the Father through all eternity!

The angels were not given this final destiny given to man, (Ps. 8:5;He.1:4; 2:6,7). So, one of them, the great cherub, the archangelLucifer, rebelled against God, And went to war against his Creator.Even as he was perfect in wisdom, knowledge and beauty, he did nothave the perfect spiritual character required. He allowed vanity to enter

his mind and in that war of rebellion, he became a twisted immortalfallen angelic being. He took one third of the angels of heaven withhim in a spirit of rebellion and war. Their character became twisted.The leader of the devils was there in the Garden of Eden and proceededto tempt Eve. The mother of all mankind. Why did God allow that Why did God allow that Why did God allow that Why did God allow thatthing to happen? Did He not know what was going on?thing to happen? Did He not know what was going on?thing to happen? Did He not know what was going on?thing to happen? Did He not know what was going on? Lucifernow Satan, the devil, took his chances all the time. He knows that he

could only go as far as God allows. He never stops trying.

ONLY AS FAR AS GODONLY AS FAR AS GODONLY AS FAR AS GODONLY AS FAR AS GOD ALLOWS ALLOWS ALLOWS ALLOWS

God Almighty allows Satan to tempt His created human beings.

And in Eve and later in Adam, He allowed temptation to come. He would see if Adam and Eve would make the right choices. But they didnot. Satan, the devil, believed that he had ruined God's purpose for

Adam and Eve and therefore he would also ruin God's purpose formankind. But God the Almighty always works thru the Big Picture.In fact when He drove Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden fortheir disobedience, paraphrasing Scriptures, He spoke to them thus:

''Go and do what you will, you and your children after you will have allthe six thousand years to do what you want because that is what you

wish. I have taught you when you walked with me in the Garden of Eden that six days in a week, you can do all your labors, all your work,but on the seventh day, you must rest, for that is my day for you to

worship Me. And remember that I, God, am your God, and you areMy son. Now that you have disobeyed Me and ate of the Tree of theKnowledge of Good and Evil, your entire existence will exist withexperimenting with trial and error. With your knowledge and desirefor good and evil you will be divided in your mind with a duality inyour nature. You will live a long time and you will have to see thatpain, and the suffering, the misery and the horrors that will come aboutbecause of your disobedience. And those that you will begetthroughout your lifetime. Go, and do as you will and only until suchtime as you will truly repent will you draw close to Me again.''

Consequently, all generations after Adam and Eve down thru ourday and time lived in so much suffering because everyone turned away from the will and way of God. And so it is not true that God is asleep.

What followed thereafter is that we all became spiritually dead. Thesins of mankind, of everyone of us, have created a wall between us and

God.

Listen to what the Prophet Isaiah 59:1-5 (NKJV) reveals:

Without exception, we all stand condemned before God. Becauseof our sins we are all worthy of the punishment of death. Listen to

what the Apostle Paul discloses in the Book of Romans 3:10-18,(NKJV).

As it is written:

''There is none righteous, no, not one;''There is none righteous, no, not one;''There is none righteous, no, not one;''There is none righteous, no, not one;There is none who understands;There is none who understands;There is none who understands;There is none who understands;There is none who seeks after God.There is none who seeks after God.There is none who seeks after God.There is none who seeks after God.They have all turned aside;They have all turned aside;They have all turned aside;They have all turned aside;They have together become unprofitable;They have together become unprofitable;They have together become unprofitable;They have together become unprofitable;There is none who does good, no, not one.There is none who does good, no, not one.There is none who does good, no, not one.There is none who does good, no, not one.TheirTheirTheirTheir throat is an open tomb;throat is an open tomb;throat is an open tomb;throat is an open tomb;

No one, not anyone can ever hide from God nor anything fromHim. He gave us the Holy Scriptures as a mirror by which and thru

which we see ourselves as God sees us. The Book of Hebrews 4:12-13,(NKJV), reveals this to us:

''For the Word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than''For the Word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than''For the Word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than''For the Word of God is living and powerful, and sharper thanany twoany twoany twoany two----edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul andedged sword, piercing even to the division of soul andedged sword, piercing even to the division of soul andedged sword, piercing even to the division of soul andspirit, and of joints and morrow, and is aspirit, and of joints and morrow, and is aspirit, and of joints and morrow, and is aspirit, and of joints and morrow, and is a discerner of the thoughtsdiscerner of the thoughtsdiscerner of the thoughtsdiscerner of the thoughtsand intents of the heart.and intents of the heart.and intents of the heart.and intents of the heart.

looking good. However, the consequences of these very humanapproaches and decisions result in a lot of suffering. Of misery. Of terrible unhappiness.

What is wrong in this? What is missing? It is not wrong to haveself-confidence, per se. Because, it builds up convictions in the person

which is good. What is missing is that in these cases, the individualdoes not look to base his self-confidence on true strong foundations.

What is really important and true is that men should have self-confidence because he has true confidence and faith in his CreatorGod. That he believes in Him to help him and assist him. To guide

him and to be with him all the days of his life. And this can only comeif man has learned how to communicate with his Creator. That way of communication is heartfelt, believing prayer. The Creator God honorsbelieving faith. He honors believing prayer. He honors those whohonor Him. Psalms 91:15, (NKJV) reveals to us:

''He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;''He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;''He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;''He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;I will be with him in trouble;I will be with him in trouble;I will be with him in trouble;I will be with him in trouble;
