: Well now, what was [BEFORE] the creation of man? What was before Adam?? What was before the EVERLASTING GOSPEL & the EVERLASTING COVENANT of Rev. 14:6 & Heb. 13:20???
So far, as I read your missive, the answer requires 'unsubstantiated metaphysical opinions'.
Surely this remark of yours (?) is NOT ACCORDING TO MY MASTER'S WORDS! So where does it originate??
It seems that with your [FAITH or BELIEF], that you are still 'spoonfed' with, (or you CANNOT EVER FIND OUT) the Truth beyond that of Heb. 5's 'milk'???
But for starters: The above questions ARE ANSWERED by the GodHead, 'if'
(there is that Word again) one REALLY BELIEVES the WORD OF GOD! IF ONE REALLY HAS FAITH IN THE MASTER'S WORDS! ? :robot
Notice: "THE THING THAT [HATH BEEN IT IS THAT WHICH SHALL BE]; AND THAT [WHICH IS DONE IS THAT WHICH SHALL BE DONE]: AND THERE IS [NO NEW THING UNDER THE SUN.]" Even a young un/converted kid can understand that TRUTH!
And then what do we hear from us mature adults?? Well maybe Lord! Or that this is not 'Inspiration'! Or look at the 'arm of flesh', huh? (your words & the reams & reams of mans Ph. D. Matt. 25 FOOLISH junk!!)
Well: Because there are SO FEW times that this is not to God's providence, He tell us of these rather the other way around. (if you can follow that?) He tells us that there will never be another world flood! He tells us that 'sin WILL NOT ARISE A SECOND TIME' Na. 1:9 And but very few others, such as the rain shall fall on the just & the unjust alike.
So, does that cause you to now BELIEVE GOD? (naw!) We are bent on not believing God's Word! (regardless of what we profess, huh?) Or that.. God did not say that there was something that was not NEW clear enough!!
??
But 'think', just [IF] you could [BELIEVE THE WORD OF GOD], think of how easy it would be to understand the book of Revelation! :fadein: Or the first history of Israel of old! OR THE REBELLION THAT [*ORIGINATED] (first) IN HEAVEN!! (Rev. 12:7-12) Or even the first pro/created of Adam & Even who fell 'MATURALLY' on earth! Gen. 4:6-7. Now, who was it that was BEFORE Cains [MATURE] apostasy? Well, read the verse, he was right there beside his subject Cain, that Christ was talking with!
OK: One more verse! Will you belive it?? In Eccl. 3:14-15 some 'see' again the [SECOND TIME] God telling us a shortcut for the understanding of His Truth (WORD) to us. Notice first the verse 14 Word, for this Word reinteriates the closing Words of His complete Word to us. Check the last few verses of Rev.'s verses 18-19 of how mankind has his name [REMOVED FROM THE BOOK OF LIFE]. (remember, that to be removed, it had to be there in the FIRST place)
And verse 15 of Eccl. 3 tells it SO CLEARLY [AGAIN THE SECOND TIME] that you would need the Ph. D's stuff, that none agree on anyhow, to be in the Babylon confussion of Rev. 17:5
:
The GODHEAD RECORDS *AGAIN:
"THAT WHICH [HATH BEEN IS NOW] AND THAT [WHICH IS TO BE IS ALREADY BEEN]: AND [GOD *REQUIRES THAT WHICH IS PAST]".
Now what?
Even the 'BLIND' ones of Rev. 3:16-17 are fulfilling this Truth! Not just the ones of Rev. 17:5.
In closing, read Eze. 33:30-32 for the last time prophecy!
