Little peons judged with darkness

Considered by some the “smartest man in the world,” physicist Stephen Hawking concludes in his book “The Grand Design,” “Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the universe exists, why we exist. It is not necessary to invoke God to light the blue touch paper and set the universe going.”

As a blogger (Gavitron) reasons, “But how then does Hawking explain the existence of his metaphorical 'blue touch paper' that set the universe going? How does Hawking explain the existence of gravity in the first place? He doesn't! He simply presupposes that it exists. Hawking does not know how to explain gravity. To him that is simply where explanations come to an end.”

Starting in Genesis 1, the Bible explains, [5] And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

“God named Day and Night; that’s a personification,” says Jordan. “That’s more than just the physical; there’s a spiritual darkness being dealt with there. When He said, ‘Let there be light,’ that’s the ‘God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ,’ as Paul writes.

“He’s declaring to His creation right there that the only place you’re going to find the purpose of God and His exaltation and His glory in His creation is in Jesus Christ; it’s not in that make-believe wisdom of the Adversary.

“You go down to Genesis 1:14 and you’re on Day #4 and God said, ‘[14] And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years.’

“Now He’s going to put lights in the heavens. You’re going to have a physical light that’s going to separate the spiritual darkness into two categories and they’re going to be for signs.

"In other words, they’re going to divide up the darkness from the light and they’re going to be physical manifestations.

*****

“He’s going to start using sign language in His creation. You know Psalm 19: ‘The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.’

“But there’s a little more to it than that because He’s going to use the sun, the moon and the stars. The thing about them is they produce light. The moon reflects the light of the sun but it lights the earth with reflected light. Even in the darkness, when the earth is on the dark side of things, it can reflect off the moon and light the earth.

“The stars are light sources. One of the reasons angels are associated with stars in the Bible is angels don’t function in darkness. Darkness is a chain that immobilizes. God did that in Egypt in Exodus 10. Verse 21 says, [21] And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.

“That’s darkness that could be felt. You read that and you see nobody could get around it—it was such oppressive darkness that it immobilized people, the Egyptians.

“In the Book of Jude it says God has those angels ‘bound in chains of darkness.’ They look for and gather around the light sources because they need those things to function. That’s why they’re associated with them.

“By the way, you see at the end of Genesis 1:16 it says, ‘he made the stars also’? That’s not saying, ‘Oh, yeah, by the way, I think I’ll make a few stars.’ 

"He made the sun, the moon and the stars also to do what? The verse says 'God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night.' He made the stars also to RULE.

"Verses 17-18 says: [17] And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
[18] And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.

“Who did God put in the heavens originally to rule the heavens in the earth? Lucifer and His angelic creation. That word Lucifer in Latin means he’s a ‘light-bearer.’ The original light-bearer was Satan before he became Satan, and ‘the host’ before they became fallen angels.

*****

“When the original light-bearer fell into a false wisdom experiment, God judged him with darkness. ‘Their foolish hearts became dark.’ God withdrew His wisdom and understanding and darkness consumed them.

“On that fourth day God put into the heavens some new rulers to replace the old rulers. The Book of Job talks about the ordinances of heaven; the constellations ruling the seasons in the earth. God literally set up a new structure in His creation; new laws, new rules to do to replace Satan, and they are for signs.

“They physically manifest the power God put in them that, when Satan usurped all that stuff, he’s getting people to worship the HOST of Heaven. They aren’t just worshipping the sun; they’re worshipping the power they think is behind that.

“Satan takes those rulers and wants them to worship him as the REAL power. You watch people worshipping fertility gods; that’s what you do with the sun and they’re trying to get the crops to grow. They’re not worshipping just the mechanics of the sun; they’re wanting ‘the god of the land’ to come and fill up the earth with food. So they are symbols, signs.

*****

“In Genesis 11 all this stuff got codified, if you can put it like that. At the Tower of Babel it was all organized into a worldwide religion. Remember, after the Flood God added nationalism. A nation, as we know from Genesis 10, is made up of borders, language and culture.

“Genesis 11:3 says, ‘[3] And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.’

“They say, ‘We’re not going to use God’s stone to make stuff; we’re going to use our own.’ They substituted man-made stuff—slime for mortar.

“Verse 4 says, [4] And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.

“ ‘Let us make us a name.’ You see what’s driving this? There’s a philosophy; there’s a thinking process. ‘I want to have a name.’ ‘Lest we be scattered on the face of the earth.’ What did God tell Noah? Scatter.

“’They built the city in rebellion against God’s prescribed social order. Then they built a tower against God’s prescribed spiritual order. And they take the whole world in rebellion and all God had to do to thwart it was change their language. I think it’s so funny! God wasn’t sitting up in heaven, fretting, 'Oh, my, I wonder what they’re going to do.'

"As Psalm 2:4 says, ‘He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.’ God looks down and says, ‘They think they’re so smart. Watch! Ha, Ha.’

“The old boy’s over here trying to lay some bricks and he looks over to his helper and says, ‘Go get me some more mortar,’ and his helper hears, ‘Hit me in the head with a hoe.’ ‘You sure?!’ ‘I’m the boss, do what I tell you! Get on with it; do it in a hurry!’

“Can you understand how they couldn’t get along and He scattered them? What was happening there? It was all to reach heaven. It was to ‘worship the creature rather than the creator.’ What happened with all that stuff is God destroyed it.

*****

“When you read this stuff in Genesis 11, remember Moses is writing this to some people who just came out of Egypt and were going into Canaan, experiencing this stuff. Moses is explaining, ‘All this heathen stuff you’re going to face--this is where it came from and this is why they do it.’

“Now, fast-forward a bunch of centuries, more than a thousand years, and watch what happens with Israel. II Kings 17:

[7] For so it was, that the children of Israel had sinned against the LORD their God, which had brought them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods,
[8] And walked in the statutes of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they had made.
[9] And the children of Israel did secretly those things that were not right against the LORD their God, and they built them high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city.
[10] And they set them up images and groves in every high hill, and under every green tree:
[11] And there they burnt incense in all the high places, as did the heathen whom the LORD carried away before them; and wrought wicked things to provoke the LORD to anger:
[12] For they served idols, whereof the LORD had said unto them, Ye shall not do this thing.

“Drop down to verses 16-18: [16] And they left all the commandments of the LORD their God, and made them molten images, even two calves, and made a grove, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served Baal.
[17] And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.
[18] Therefore the LORD was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight: there was none left but the tribe of Judah only.

*****

“What happens is when Israel got in that land, rather than them being separated from (the evil), that stuff infiltrated and they embraced it.

“You go down in the chapter and you see over and over, ‘they know not the manner of the God of the land.’

"That term ‘God of the land’--you ever hear anybody talk about territorial spirits? You know who believes in that? Heathen. That’s a pagan doctrine. They believe there’s a god for this land and a god for that land.

“When God brought them out of Egypt, it wasn’t just that they didn’t have to make cakes anymore; He brought them out of captivity to the gods of Egypt and set them free from that religious system that made them think that those little gods were God.

“You know how the Believer thinks? ‘The heavens are the Lord’s and the fullness thereof.’ He owns it all; He’s the God of it all. All these little guys are just little peons; false claimants of pieces of the land that God Himself owns, not them.

“Look at II Kings 17:32-33: [32] So they feared the LORD, and made unto themselves of the lowest of them priests of the high places, which sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places.
[33] They feared the LORD, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations whom they carried away from thence.

“That’s the ruination! They said, ‘We’ll serve Jehovah and all these other gods like they’re all the same.’ God told them it don’t work. That’s why Paul says, ‘Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate.’ You can’t serve Baal. They don’t mix. That’s why Moses said to destroy them.”
