Paradise Of God

Sometimes, when people are thinking about reading a book, they take a sneaky look at the last chapter to see if the book has a happy ending. The Bible is does have a happy, actually a very happy ending. But not for everyone. Sadly, unlike a fairy story, not everyone lives happily ever after. Everyone could, including you, but it depends. Let’s have a look at a few verses from the last book of the Bible, the Book of Revelation. It says in Revelation 21:1-4 “And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the dwelling of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away”. The heaven and earth that we have today, death, sorrow, crying and pain will pass away. The dwelling of God will be with men, they shall be his people. God himself will be their God, and God himself will wipe away every tear from their eyes. That is great news, but where did all those bad things come from and why does there need to be a new heaven and earth? What is wrong with the current heaven and the earth? And will God wipe away everyone’s tears? We will see later in this book.

It says in Revelation 21:5-7 “And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcomes shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son”. According to Revelation 22:12, it is Jesus that is the Alpha and the Omega, it is he that is sitting on the throne of God for he is fully man, but also fully God. He is going to make all things new and give to those who are thirsty for God the ability and the right to drink freely from the fountain of the water of life. Jesus promises that those who overcome shall inherit all things. This is also great news. For those that overcome, Jesus will be their Father, they will become the Sons of God and God will wipe away every tear from the eyes of His Sons. At the beginning of the Book of Revelation, John wrote letters to seven churches in Asia. In each letter, Jesus made amazing promises to the Sons of God, to those who overcome. He promised that those who overcome would be: given freely to eat of the tree of life which is in the midst of the paradise of God, would not be hurt at all by the second death, would have power over the nations to rule them with a rod of iron, would be given the morning star, would be able to eat the hidden bread of life, be given a new name, be clothed in white, not have their name blotted out from the book of life, be a pillar in the temple of God, receive Jesus’ new name, and sit upon Jesus’ throne together with him. Clearly these promises are worth inheriting and so it is absolutely vital that we understand what overcoming meant within the ancient Hebrew culture of the Bible and how we personally can overcome.

As already mentioned, in linguistics, a false friend is a word shared by two different languages that sounds the same but has different meanings. This can lead to confusion in translation. The same could be said about words shared between different ages, people groups, cultures or traditions. Such people groups have different values and different ways of thinking. The Bible was written thousands of years ago, mostly in Hebrew, and God chose to reveal himself to and through the ancient Hebrews, people like Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Paul the Apostle called himself a Hebrew of the Hebrews, and Jesus himself spoke from heaven in Hebrew to Paul on the Damascus Road. The church establishment, however, is culturally Greek, and that is something completely different. For the Hebrews, everything was real. For the Greeks, everything was conceptual, ideological or philosophical; nothing was real. The art of communication is being understood but to communicate people need a common understanding of the words that they use. Otherwise, false friends will cause them to misunderstand what the Bible is truly saying. As such, we need to understand the words used in the Bible from within the ancient Hebrew culture within which it was written. It is crucial that we all understand the meaning of the words like name, overcome, save, righteousness, Father and Son, and many more words from within the ancient Hebrew culture of the Bible. Modern religious culture and tradition taught by the church establishment is culturally Greek and has a very different understanding of these words and indeed the good news or gospel of God. If we don’t understand that we will fail to communicate. The result will be confusion, and we will fail to overcome. Take for instance, the word name. In Hebrew, words were made up of letters that were pictures or pictographs of real things like hands, arms, water and weapons. The words had practical and real meaning within themselves. In Hebrew the word for name is shem, and is a pictograph made up teeth and water. Put together, the word shem or name could mean to destroy or bring order out of chaos. It was no coincidence that within ancient Hebrew culture, God was often described as the Name. Why? In Latin the Holy Spirit is Sanctus Spiritus, sanctus meaning holy, spirit meaning breath or wind. It was the mighty word of God spoken by God’s eternal life’s breath or Holy Spirit that brought order out of chaos when God created the heavens and the earth. The word shem or name could also mean something like biting water, a desolating wind that bites or dries up water from the Earth to cause a desolate desert wasteland. It was associated with words like desolate, desert, guilt, astonishment, name, and breath. The Hebrews associated someone’s name or character with their breath or spirit, the breathings of their personality or heart. That is why the word for guilt and astonishment were related to the word for name because both affected one’s breath, character and therefore their name. In Hebrew, the name Satan was made up of a pictograph of teeth, a snake, and a seed. It means literally the snake that surrounds and devours life. That is the devil’s name, the devil’s name is what he does and how he behaves. Why is this important? Because someone’s name was not an identifier, it was something real. Someone’s name was a product of the breathings of their personality or heart. It was an expression of the life’s breath of their character and personality that they inherited from their father. Originally, as people lived, they breathed, and as they breathed, they walked through life. The way they habitually walked were their ways, and the collection of their ways, together with everything else about them constituted their name, character or behaviour. In the novel Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens, there is a character called Jack Dawkins. Jack was a thief and a pickpocket, the leader of a gang of child criminals who was better known as the Artful Dodger. Biblically speaking Artful Dodger was the identity of his real name or probably better still, Thieving Artful Dodger. As the devil is the original thief, the Artful Dodger could also be called the Son of Thieving and the devil, as the Father of Thieving, his father.

It says in Revelation 21:8 “But the cowardly, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers [sexually immoral], and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part [inheritance] in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone: which is the second death”. Someone’s name comes from the way they habitually walk and behave throughout their lives. The cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, perverts, child abusers, adulterers, sorcerers, idol worshippers and all liars will have an inheritance in the lake of fire. Why? Because one day everyone will rise from the dead, and behaviour in life will become inheritance in resurrection. The evils that habitually dwell within pride-poisoned wicked hearts are an expression of their name, character or personality. These evils are authored by the devil, the original sinner and father of lies. Unless Jesus is given the opportunity to redeem people’s hearts from the pride that nailed him to the cross, and therefore change their name and therefore their behaviour, they will inherit their own wicked behaviour and will be like that forever. Jesus will send them where their prideful evil hearts belong. That is bad news for proud people who live like that, but people do have a choice as to how they live and behave and who or what they choose to follow or serve. Jesus said in Matthew 7:12-14 “Therefore all things whatsoever you would that men should do to you, do you even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. Enter you in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many there be which go in therein: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leads unto life, and few there be that find it”. Jesus is clear, wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction. Those that are destroyed bear the name the Sons of Destruction. That is the way they lived, that is the path that they followed. According to Jesus, someone behaves what they believe, but that is not what is generally taught within the church establishment. Remember, within the ancient Hebrew culture of the Bible, everything was real. The religion of hand-me-down church tradition is culturally Greek where nothing is real, everything is philosophical, ideological, conceptual or theological. The religion of church tradition teaches that if people believe in the dogma, creeds or tradition of established church religion, behaviour doesn’t matter. That is a deceiving lie and the deceived have failed to overcome. We will discuss this much more later in this book. The narrow way, and the narrow gate is treating others the way you want to be treated in every circumstance of life. That may seem naturally impossible, but Jesus came to make it not only supernaturally possible but absolutely guaranteed. This does not come by religion but by relationship. Jesus was asked which was the greatest commandment. It says in Matthew 22:37-40 “Jesus said to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it, You shall love your neighbour as yourself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets”. In Hebrew, the word commonly translated neighbour is rea and means literally the person you see. It does not mean the person who lives next door. The word for love is ahab and means literally the father revealed or the father seen. This is the key: the Sons of God love the Lord their God with all their heart and their neighbour as themselves because God is their Father. The fatherhood of God is the blessing of the paradise of Pentecost that Abraham the Hebrew received during his lifetime, not after he was dead. God said to Abraham in Genesis 15:1 that “I AM your shield and exceedingly great reward”. The Sons of God receive the Pentecostal blessing of Abraham. They are the overcomers because Jesus overcame; he lives within them and they live within him. They have an inheritance in God, and God has an inheritance within their hearts, hearts redeemed from pride through the blood of the cross. God becomes their shield and exceedingly great reward just as God was for Abraham. Those that have an inheritance within the lake of fire are the sons of destruction. They may wholeheartedly believe in the ancient, accepted and established religion of church tradition, but if they are not in a Father-Son relationship with God then they cannot overcome. Instead, they stubbornly ignore the warning and correction of Jesus and even the testimony of their own hearts. They follow the broad path that leads to destruction. We will discuss this much more later in this book.

The Book of Genesis describes how God created the heavens and the earth in 6 days. A day was determined by the spin of the Earth, and not by the position of the sun in the sky. According to Exodus 20:11 these were 6 literal days. This may seem a little farfetched, but God’s power is limitless, and God lives outside of time. God can get quite a lot done in a day; all he has to do is say it, and it is done! On day one, God created light. On day two, God divided the waters. On day three, God founded the land upon the seas, created plants and trees. On day four, God created the sun, moon and stars. On day five, God created sea creatures and birds. On day six, God created insects, animals and man. God created all these things by speaking the living word of God. The word is like a seed that contains the eternal life’s breath or the Holy Spirit of that word. God himself dwells within the words that he speaks to do what he says and say what he does. God is amazing. Whole mutually dependant and symbiotic ecosystems were created in an instant. Incidentally, when God created things, they often had the appearance of age even though they simply appeared out of nowhere. For instance, trees were created fully grown, trees would normally take many years to mature. In the same way, soil was created in an instant as a highly developed ecosystem which again normally takes years to develop.

In Hebrew, there are two words for son, both with similar meanings. The first is ben, and is a pictograph made up of a house or tent and a sprouting seed or darting fish. The second is bar and is a pictograph of a house or tent and the head of a man. Both mean literally the continuation or life of the house. In the ancient world, tents were made up of panels that were regularly replaced, but the tent or house lived on. In the same way, a father’s house was made up of sons who would naturally one day die, but their sons would continue to build the tent or house of the father. In Hebrew, the word for sowing seed was zarar. It was a pictograph of a tool and a head and meant literally the harvest of heads. The word for seed was zerar and meant literally to see the harvest of heads. Often, in scripture, the word seed was used to describe sons. One of the most important verses in the Bible is this one from Genesis 1:11 which says, “And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so”. Why is this so important? Because seeds are in effect sons, the image or reflection of their father. The life of father dwells within the heart of the seed or son to bring forth fruit after the father’s kind. An acorn is the seed (or son) of father oak: it bears the name oak (or son of father oak) because when planted it will grow like its father and bear its father’s fruit.

It says in Genesis 1:27-28 “God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said to them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth”. One of the most important words within ancient Hebrew culture was the word father. It is ab, and a pictograph of a house, and the head of a bull. It means literally the strength of the house. The word for father was often incorporated into other words which help us understand the meaning of the word father within the culture of the Bible. A judge was literally the father of judgement, bravery was literally the father of strength. A good man was the father of goodness, and a sailor was the father of the sea. A liberal man was the father of generosity and gracious man was the father of pleasantness. Intoxication meant, the father of stumbling and a mason was a father of the wall. That is why Jesus described the devil as the father of lies. The word son worked in the same way. Rachel, Jacob’s wife, died in childbirth and named the child son of my sorrow (Benoni), but Jacob renamed him son of my right hand (Benjamin). Jesus described Judas in John 17 as the son of destruction. Obviously, the devil is the father of destruction and the author of original sin. Judas betrayed Jesus with a kiss, that is the kind of thing the devil loves to do.  

In the Bible, God is One. In the beginning, God had no-one to relate to. In fact, in the beginning, there was nothing at all. There was no Father, and there was no Son, these are relationship words. The culturally Greek religion of established church tradition made up a trinitarian jigsaw of pieces taken from their essentially pagan worldview and a few pieces from the Bible and therefore teaches something completely different. We will discuss this in detail later in this book. For now, God wanted a Son because he wanted someone to relate to, to care for, to love; someone like him who could know him, understand him, appreciate him, behave like him morally in every aspect of life, and build God’s house. In Deuteronomy 8:3 it says that man does not live on bread alone but upon every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. Words are spoken by breath. Man speaks natural words by natural breath, God speaks supernatural life-changing words by his supernatural breath or Holy Spirit. When God created the animals, he just spoke the word, and it was so. When God created Adam however, it was different. In Hebrew, the word Adam means literally first blood. Adam was created in the image of God, the reflection of the invisible God. Adam was created to be the Son of God. In Hebrew, the word for heart is leb and is a house and a staff of authority. It means literally the authority within. It says in Genesis 2:7-8 “And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed”. LORD (Yehovah) God made Adam’s body personally from the dust of the Earth. But then God spoke the living word the Son of God into Adam by breathing his very own eternal life’s breath or Holy Spirit of the paradise of God’s fatherhood into the house of Adam’s heart. Adam became a God-breathing being. The eyes are a window to the heart. When Adam opened his eyes for the first time, he would have gazed right into the eyes and heart of God. God is love, and God would have been Adam’s first love. With his heart enraptured with the wonderful paradise of God, when he was created, Adam would have been willed with wonder and shining with the life, love and glory of God’s fatherhood. In Hebrew the word son is ben and means the life of the father’s house. Adam was the son, or ben, of God because the eternal life of God was the seed of life within the house of Adam’s heart.

Imagine for a moment that God is the colour red, and Adam blue. By breathing himself into Adam’s heart, God’s red mixed with Adam’s blue to create a new colour: purple, purple being the Son of God. Adam was a God-breathing being, God himself filled the breathings of his personality or soul with himself. As we have seen, in Hebrew, the word father means literally the strength of the house. God was the Father, the strength of Adam’s heart; Adam was the Son whose heart contained the seed of God’s eternal life or Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit was God’s gift of himself to Adam to enable him to be called by the name The Son of God and bear Holy Spirit fruit forever. That is why Jesus said in Matthew 28 to go and baptise into the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. This has nothing to do whatsoever with the conceptual Holy Trinity. God is the Father, Adam was the Son, and the Holy Spirit was God’s gift of Himself that filled or baptised Adam’s heart with or into paradise. It was to his father’s glory that would bear much fruit. The fruit of God is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness and self-control. It was this fruit that Adam was to bear to enable him to be a shining reflection of the wonderful fatherhood of God, for him to have dominion within universe that God had created for him, and for him to bear the name, the Son of God. Adam’s rule would have been a co-regency. God as a Father and ultimate authority was filling Adam’s heart with the Spirit of the Father, Adam as the Son having the dominion of sonship upon the Earth. Adam’s creation was a divine partnership, the fatherhood of God and the sonship of Adam or man. The word sonship comes from the word son combined with the word forming element -ship. Sonship has nothing to do with gender. Eve was within Adam when he was created. Sonship means the power, condition, action, quality, position, or mandate of a son that enables him to act as a representative and under the authority of his father. Someone bears the name the Son of God and occupies the office of Sonship when they become the visible image or reflection of the invisible God. If you imagine for a moment a sailing ship on the high seas, God as a Father filled the sail of Adam’s heart with the wind, breath or Holy Spirit of God. This gifted Adam with the office of Sonship which enabled Adam to live in the presence of divine power where victory was assured. God was the Father, Adam was the Son, and the Holy Spirit was to be God’s gift of himself to Adam forever.

To scoff is so show insolent ridicule and scoffers consider themselves to be the great I am; they are poisoned and puffed up with pride. The scoffers don’t believe any of this. The scoffers don’t believe that they were created by God, nor do they believe that they are accountable to him in any way. They deny his very existence. They believe that they owe their existence to a freak of nature: the spontaneous self-generation of life billions of years ago. They believe that they gradually evolved out of more primitive life-forms; protoplasm washed up on the beach of some kind of primordial soup, an organically enriched sea irradiated or energised by light from the sun. The word evolve is from the Latin evolvere which meant to roll out or unfold. It has come to mean to develop by natural processes into a more advanced state. Imagine a fully automated factory that makes a very simple child’s bicycle. The bicycle is red with no gears and one brake. Do you think it is likely that a fault in the manufacturing process could produce a better or more stylish bike? Do you think it is likely that repeated manufacturing mistakes could add a mudguard, a bell or lights. Could these mistakes add a wheel to evolve the bicycle into a more advanced tricycle? And if these mistakes added a wheel, would the new tricycle be rideable by a child? Would anyone buy it? In genetics, these manufacturing mistakes are called mutations, a form of cancer. Evolutionists believe that mutation is the hidden secret of life. They believe that the cancer of mutation is a wonderful process that given enough time enabled life to emerge out of nothing and mutate itself into the wonderful abundance and diversity of life that we see around us today. The scoffers believe that over millions of years, primitive life forms like bacteria somehow turned into fish, the fish somehow developed lungs and gradually emerged on to land as amphibians or frogs, that somehow the frogs transitioned into reptiles, and somehow the reptiles transitioned into mammals and eventually human beings. There are billions of fossils found in sedimentary rocks around the world but within the whole fossil record there is not a single example of one species in a transitionary state, turning into another. There is a fish called a coelacanth, often described as a living fossil. It was believed that this fish went extinct 66 million years ago. The scoffers teach that it was this type of fish whose flippers somehow transitioned or evolved into legs and that somehow evolved air-breathing lungs and somehow this lungfish emerged over millions of years on to land and eventually turned into a frog. In 1938, a live coelacanth was found and many more after that. The flippers were not legs, they do not have air breathing lungs, but the scoffers refuse to accept that their evolutionary fairy story is a pack of lies. Charles Darwin in his book The Origin of Species imagined all this evolutionary change happened by numerous successive slight modifications over millions of years. However, he correctly doubted his own theory. He said this about his theory of evolution: “To suppose that the eye with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest”. In the same book, he said “If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down”. Such slight modifications are mutations. Mutation destroys life, it doesn’t bring life, things do not naturally become better and better. And yet, this scientific fact is generally ignored. Natural selection or variation within God-created kinds does happen but Darwin’s absurd notion regarding the evolution of complex from more primitive life forms has become an almost universally accepted delusion. According to the evolutionary family tree, going back millions of years, human beings and leeches both share a common ancestor.

All living tissue is made up of cells, each cell contains chromosomes, each chromosome contains many genes. Cells often have a limited life and so duplicate themselves with a process called mitosis. Such duplication is not perfect, and the mistakes made are the mutations. As an organism ages, these mutations build up over time causing ageing, each cell becoming more and more defective. This mutational load is called genetic entropy and entropy means random chaos or disorder. It is based on the second law of thermodynamics, that everything in the known universe tends to disorder, decay and eventually destruction. The mutational load of a cell is like a photocopy of a photocopy repeated thousands of times until eventually the copy is illegible. When this happens, the organism dies. It is called aging, and there is no cure. Death is certain. It is worse than that. A tiny element of this genetic entropy is passed to the next generation. Given long enough, this species will eventually become extinct. This is why animals that are cloned have a much-reduced lifespan. Clones are in effect pre-aged, they have the original zygotic mutational load of the parent animal, plus the mutational load that accumulated during the lifetime of the host animal’s growth and ageing. It is even worse than that. Every life form on planet earth is subject to genetic entropy, and without divine intervention eventually the whole of life on earth will eventually become extinct. And yet the scoffers choose to ignore these scientific facts. When faced with the evidence the scoffers go strangely silent. Science is defined as the systematic study of the structure and behaviour of the physical and natural world through observation, experimentation, and the testing of theories against the evidence obtained. The deceived and scoffing deceivers that teach the theory of evolution claim that it is a scientific fact. They teach that the trillions of stars and billions of galaxies within the known universe were once somehow squeezed into a tiny dot smaller than a pinhead. They teach that this tiny dot somehow exploded with a big bang. This big bang somehow evolved into the visible universe that we see around us today. All evolutionary theory breaks many of the scientifically proven laws of physics, such as the first and second laws of thermodynamics, Boyle’s empirical gas law and the laws of Mendelian genetics. The scoffers still maintain that evolutionary theory is a scientific fact. The scoffers teach that stars evolved from gas clouds, the periodic table of elements evolved from star dust produced by exploding stars or nova, that planets evolved around stars that were surrounded by gas nebula and that life on earth evolved out of an irradiated organic soup. As we have seen, science is defined as the systematic study of the structure and behaviour of the physical and natural world through observation, experimentation, and the testing of theories against the evidence obtained. These fanciful fairytale theories about evolution are contrary to the known laws of physics, have never been observed, and cannot be scientifically proven, and yet in textbooks, schools, colleges and universities throughout the world evolutionary theory is still taught as a scientific fact. There is nothing wrong with teaching evolution as a theory but to suggest that it is a scientific fact is a bare faced lie. There are many within the scientific community who know evolution cannot possibly be true but remain silent because if they confessed doubt in the blind faith of the atheistic religion of evolutionary theory, they would be branded evolutionary heretics and lose their reputation and their jobs.

Something objective is something verifiable based on the facts and evidence of what can be seen. Something subjective is based on feelings, opinions or emotions. Most people think that theoretical scientists such as evolutionists, geologists, archaeologists or palaeontologists are in a valiant objective search for truth. Most people think that such science progresses as an ever-increasing body of truth over time and that scientists readily welcome new discoveries. Most people think that scientists love to be challenged by new evidence and readily revise their theories and quickly adopt changes. This simply isn’t true. The word paradigm comes from the Latin paradigma which meant to show side by side. A paradigm is a frame of reference, a set of preconceived assumptions, values and practices that constitutes a way of viewing what is accepted as truth. The truth is that theoretical scientists are absolutely not in pursuit of truth and reality, reason and rationality. Instead, they are fraught with the idiotic paradigms of the past and their minds are held hostage by the stupidities of blind faith in the religion of their self-congratulatory scientific tradition. Most theoretical science is not objective science but a subjective pseudo-science, based on feelings, opinions and emotions of the flawed but foundational theories or paradigms of scientific orthodoxy. As such, theoretical science is a subjective search for results that confirm the already established paradigm of scientific thought. Any evidence that disproves the prevailing paradigm is ignored, forgotten or dismissed from mainstream thinking. Prevailing paradigms block honest intellectual enquiry, stifle genuine research or silence discussion on anything outside mainstream scientific beliefs, and scientists are the scoffing priests with blind unsubstantiated faith in the atheistic religion of their particular scientific tradition. These priests have deemed certain avenues of questioning as inadmissible blasphemy in the pursuit of scientific truth and those that pursue these avenues are ridiculed by the scoffers as scientific heretics. In the pursuit of power, such scientific priests foolishly retain flawed theories and other ego-centric stupidities that blind them to effectively pursuing a path that genuinely seeks truth and reality. They are guilty of using circular reasoning in the defence of their established dogma. Their whole careers are grounded in protecting their super-sized egos against anything that would cause as loss of reputation, stature, ownership, authority, notoriety, respect or prominence within their own repressive scientific community. They are just like the blind guides of the religion of church tradition. These blind guides are leaders of hypocrisy who cannot see anything except that which the paradigm of theoretical scientific or indeed theological church orthodoxy has told them what they can or cannot see, even when clearly overwhelming and contradictory evidence is staring them in the face. Take for instance the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt. The Great Pyramid is made up of more than 2 million stone blocks ranging between 2 and 80 tons. The whole structure was covered in bright polished limestone casing stone and the pyramid was perfectly aligned to the north, south, east and west. According to the current orthodox archaeological paradigm, over a 20–25-year period, unskilled slaves quarried, lifted, transported, and placed these stones using copper chisels, copper saws and stone pounding balls. The theory is that they had no wheels, pulleys, steel or any kind of more advanced tools or structural machinery. Such a theory is simply astounding wilful idiotic blindness. Do these archaeologists know anything about materials engineering, building and construction, metallurgy, or quarrying, lifting, transporting, shaping, polishing and positioning enormous heavy stones? The answer is a definite no. Did those who built the Great Pyramid know these things? The answer is obviously a resounding yes! Real science, like engineering, is objective science based on scientific proven reality. Theoretical sciences like geology, palaeontology or archaeology are subjective pseudo-sciences based on tradition. Engineers are astounded by the Great Pyramid, archaeologists are deceived. The Grand Canyon in Colorado is possibly one of the most spectacular wonders of the natural world. It is 277 miles long, up to 18 miles wide and over a mile deep. According to the paradigm of Geological pseudo-science, the canyon was formed by the relatively tiny Colorado River over many millions of years. It is estimated that this river eroded and washed approximately 800 cubic miles of sediment into the Gulf of California. If this was true, one would expect to see a huge river delta formed by all this sediment entering the sea, but it is not there. Where did it go? The Grand Canyon has hundreds of large side canyons along its length with no visible water source to erode them. How did they get there? According to Geological pseudo-science, the rocks that were eroded by the Colorado River were formed in desert conditions over many millions of years. However, when seen under the microscope, it is obvious to the trained eye that these rock sediments were formed under water. Apart from unconformities there is no evidence of erosion or signs of animal or plant life between the layers of rock. This means that the layers were formed rapidly and not over millions of years. Ask those with blind faith in the religion of Geological pseudo-science these and other questions regarding the formation of the Grand Canyon and they will remain strangely silent. Why? Because the evidence clearly challenges their accepted but clearly flawed hypothesis regarding the formation of the Grand Canyon, their beloved but clearly erroneous Geological column, and the age of the Earth. At various times and places, man-made objects have been found encased in coal and buried in rocks supposedly millions of years old. Documented examples include a thimble, iron pot, an iron instrument, a hammer, a gold chain, throwing spears, a metallic vessel inlaid with silver, nails, a screw, petrified human bones, strange coins and a tiny ceramic doll. Even though such evidence is documented, photographed and in many cases exhibited in museums such undeniable evidence is either ignored, explained away or even destroyed by those who believe in the religion of orthodox Geological tradition. Why? Because if accepted as true, this evidence clearly challenges their accepted but clearly flawed hypothesis regarding the age of the Earth. Why is this? Paul said in Romans 1:20-22 “…they are without excuse, because when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools”. Why is this important? Because society at large trusts these theoretical scientists who claim to have scientifically proven that their theories regarding the origins of the Universe and evolution of the life on Earth are true. They claim that their theories are scientific facts and scoff at those whom they claim to have unsubstantiated blind faith in the God of the Bible. However, the exact opposite is true. Remember, science is defined as the systematic study of the structure and behaviour of the physical and natural world through observation, experimentation, and the testing of theories against the evidence obtained. It is these pseudo-scientists that have scientifically unsubstantiated blind faith in the atheistic religion of their own scientific tradition.

Mainstream geologists are scoffers that are vain or empty in their imaginations and have foolish scoffing hearts that have been darkened. Mainstream geologists are deceived into believing that how things are now is how they have always been. They invented a law that they call the law of universalism: that observing the present is the key to understanding the past. In the early nineteenth century self-appointed amateur geologists purposefully invented this law to suppress the truth about God and Creation. They looked at small rivers in huge valleys and imagined that it must have taken millions of years for a tiny river to create such a momentous spectacle. And they looked at the layers of sedimentary rocks, rates of erosion and came to the same erroneous conclusion. They knew nothing about the principles of sedimentation and liquefaction that clearly show that the sedimentary rocks that we see around us today were formed rapidly under water. They dreamed up the notion of the geological column which breaks down layers of sediment with clear boundaries into periods of geological time lasting many millions of years. Their fanciful notions are now very well established within the religious tradition of the paradigm of geological pseudo-science as facts. Just as fossils are not a record of millions of years of evolution, the way things are now is absolutely not how things were in the beginning. Something went drastically wrong with Creation. That is why the Apostle Paul said in Romans 8:18-21 that the whole of creation (which is currently subject to the bondage of decay) is waiting in earnest expectation for the Sons of God to be revealed. The scoffers are mentioned by the Apostle Paul in Romans 1:18-20 “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God has showed it to them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Divinity; so that they are without excuse”. Paul says that these scoffers that deny God’s creation are without excuse for their wickedness. They are deceived with a devil-induced deception, a delusion which sadly will one day end in tears for those who believe in such fairy stories and worship the creature instead of the Creator. Jesus (Yeshua) said that people should be careful how they listen; to those that have more will be given but to those who do not have even what they think they have will be taken away.

So, what is the paradise of God? In the beginning, God was the Father, Adam was the Son. God’s gift to Adam was the eternal life’s breath or the Holy Spirit of God’s fatherhood that filled his heart with paradise. But the scoffers reject that testimony just as they reject God’s glorious purpose for their lives. Although in Adam they originally dwelt in paradise with the paradise of God filling their hearts, the scoffers believe they can create a better paradise for themselves by living in rebellion against God to satisfy their lusts. As we saw at the beginning of this chapter, there is a lake of fire for those who choose to reject Jesus and instead follow the wide path that leads to the scoffer’s paradise: destruction. The overcomers are the Sons of God, and for the Sons of God their destiny is completely different. Jesus of Nazareth came to save fallen humanity, including the scoffers, and restore the whole of creation back into the glorious paradise that God originally created. In later chapters we will find out exactly what that means so that together with Jesus, you can have a heart filled with the Pentecostal paradise of God and as an overcomer eternally inherit all things.

So, what about you? Someone once sang, launch out into the deep, let the shoreline go, launch out into the ocean divine, out where the full tides flow. Have you cut the shoreline of your natural born selfishness and launched out into the ocean divine? Have you experienced the full tides of the paradise of God? It is like being immersed into unending oceans of timeless liquid love. Once you have experienced paradise, nothing in the natural and earthly realms of this fallen world really matters. Jesus spoke of a collector of fine pearls who saw a pearl of great worth and sold everything to buy that one pearl. The pearl collector recognised the pearl of great worth immediately because it was what he was searching for. It is the same with paradise. The pearl is the kingdom and eternal life’s breath or Holy Spirit of the paradise of God’s fatherhood filling redeemed heavenly hearts. Our natural lives are like a teardrop in the oceans of eternity and one day our natural lives will be lost, like tears in the rain. The pleasures of our natural lives last for a moment but the potential is there for you and me to be lost in a timeless and fathomless flood of God’s love, forever. David said in Psalm 34:1,6,8 “I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusts in him”. God is ever-ready to save the humble-hearted out of all their troubles. God is ever-ready to give the humble-hearted the opportunity to taste and see that he is good. When he does that for you, you will bless the Lord at all times and his praise shall continually be in your heart, forever.  

Prayer: Dear Father, in the name of Yeshua the Messiah, please show me how to cut the shoreline of my natural born selfishness and launch out into the ocean divine so that I can experienced the full tides of the paradise of God’s fatherhood. Please immerse my heart into unending oceans of timeless liquid love. If you do, nothing in the natural and earthly realms of this fallen world will mean anything compared to knowing and loving you.
