Here is Part 1 in case you missed it -
DEBUNKING THE MYTH OF MANKIND, DEVELOPMENT AND THE GREAT FALL (Pt. 1)
Dear reader I tell you the truth, when I got light of this particular mystery, I got up from my chair and began clapping to the Lord God Almighty! Creator of the Universe, The I am that I am, The Holy One of Israel, The Bright Shinning Star, The Omnipotent God, The Omniscient God, The Omnipresent God! JEHOVAH is His name! WWWWHOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAA!!!
I tell you, you cannot outdo this God! He is TOO MUCH for our comprehension! I will advice you do same. Just take time now to Praise Him, not for what He has done for you but for who He is! It is a rare privilege to serve this God! WOW!
Now to what is making me go crazy!
When Adam and Eve had ingested the fruit of Knowledge and Evil, it automatically started acting out its purpose in them. The first thing they discovered was that they were naked! Genesis 3:7 records that 'they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons'. That was the best they could do! But when God was finally sending them out of Eden it says in verse 21 that
Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.
They used leaves to cover themselves but God made tunics (garments) of leather to cover them! Which is best? Which is wisest? Which is more modern? It points to the overwhelimng fact that the wisdom of man is heavily limited, but God's wisdom is the ULTIMATE! Little wonder 1 Corinthians 1:25 states
...the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
In His ultimate wisdom, God created a better clothe for them. Even in sin, God still aided man by covering his nakedness (Wisdom)! After God cursed the ground for man, He still taught him how to farm, raise and rear animals (Knowledge). He gave him understanding of his environment so he could adequately use it to his advantage. Stories of God directing men on how to manipulate nature to their benefit are scattered all over the Bible. Little wonder Ecclesiastes 10:10 states that 'wisdom is profitable to direct'.
As a result of our sinful nature, we have not even scratched the surface of God's infinite wisdom. Now think what would have happened in a World with no sin and God walking amongst us! We would all be clothed in garments of light (as the Angels) and there will have been better, more modernized, sophisticated and mechanized systems of agriculture and all other sectors of human life!
4. God is the Ultimate Architect!
In Revelations 21:9-27, the New Jerusalem is described by Apostle John who saw it in a vision given to him when he was marooned on the Island of Patmos. He described it as 'having the Glory of God with light like a jasper stone and clear as a crystal'. This New Jerusalem had twelve gates in total (three on each of the North, South, East and West sides). Its walls were made of Jasper and gold making it shine and glitter as clear glass! John reports that the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones including jasper, sapphire, chalcedony, emeralds, sardonyx, sardius, chrysolite, beryl, topaz, chrysoprasus, jacinth and amethyst. The twelve gates were whole pearls and the street of the city was made of pure gold! He continued that the city had no need of the sun, or moon, to shine in it because the glory of God illuminated bright light and he states 'The Lamb is the light thereof'.
No architect of the face of this planet (and I believe any other planet out there) has been able to replicate this! You just don't build a city with streets of gold...you don't! Here is a God who owns a city with golden walls and floors. He used precious stones to make the foundation of this great city. Do you really think that for the number of years God destined Adam to live, He will have kept walking on the grass with naked Adam by His side? Surely in all His wisdom, He will have directed Adam and his descendants on how to fabricate clothes (which He later did), create tools for hunting, transport and build magnificent edifices with precious stones just like Himself has done. Infact, do you know what I think? I believe God would have built this New Jerusalem here on Earth! There would have been no need for a 'New' one because Rev. 21:25 states -
And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.
That means if man had not sinned and fallen, we would have remained SAVED thereby granting us access to the knowledge and reality of a city as MAGNIFICENT as this! There is no way, man would have remained in the primeval way he was at Creation because God would have made Earth His second home. Without a doubt, we would have been seeing Scientific innovations, Technological advancements and Architectural wonders, designed and built by God Himself here on Earth!
In summary, if man had not fallen, we would have been in an even higher realm of Technological Advancement and Supernatural Existence. There will have been No Sin, No Sickness, No Sorrow and No Suffering!
We will have been living in Heaven on Earth!
IMAGINE A WORLD LIKE THAT!
Now, the FACT is this - We as Christians are entitled to a World like this! We have been redeemed by Christ's blood which He shed on the cross of Calvary for your sake and mine. We have become 'joint heirs with the Father', just like Jesus!
Romans 8:16-17 says
The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
A heir is a person who is legally (and as in our case SPIRITUALLY & PHYSICALLY) entitled to the property and/or rank of an individual. This means, all the Wealth, Wisdom, Knowledge and blessings of the Most High God are available to us. All we need to do is ASK in HOLINESS, SEEK in SANCTIFICATION and KNOCK in HUMILITY! The doors will be opened unto us. This is evident in the fact that a majority of the World's exploits were executed by Christians for example - the abolition of slave-trade in Britain was brought about by a devoted Christian - William Wilberforce. Rev. Martin Luther King Jnr. did same in America and the first billionaire (USD) in the World - John D. Rockefeller was an addicted tither!
Let us all wake up to possess what RIGHTLY belongs to us. Let us call upon the Almighty God. He will answer us and release all that belongs to us. It is an axiom of the Devil that Christians are meant to suffer! That is a BIG LIE! In the first church, Acts 4:34 records that 'Nor was there a destitute or needy person among them...'
Lack, Poverty and Suffering are of the Devil!
God says in Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
There is no hopelessness in hope and no poverty in prosperity! If your Heavenly Father has stated that His only plans for you are to prosper you and give you hope and a future, then you should realize that anything outside this is of the Devil.
Rise up and take your place on the throne, as a Son and Daughter of the King of Kings!
