ABOUT THE BOOK 

This 200 page book is a message from the Lord, calling Christians and the unbelievers to full repentance in preparation for the rapture of the Church soon to take place in these end times. The book goes back to the origin of sin and evil, the constant deceptions of Satan on the race of men down the ages to the present day and God's righteous judgements that usually follow men's act of evil all through the seven dispensations of men. 

The current state of the present day Church is also critically examined in comparison with the seven Churches of the book of Revelation that underwent Christ's appraisal. This book in closing offers a way of escape from God's impending judgement, the escape which is only available through the second person of Trinity, Jesus Christ the son of God whose ultimate sacrifice on the cross for man by His shed blood is ever potent and available to redeem even the vilest of men.

INTRODUCTION

STOP BEING RELIGIOUS AND START BEING GODLY!

If you die suddenly today, where will you spend your eternity?

Will Jesus Christ with a warm smile and open arms welcome you to his heavenly kingdom saying welcome home thou faithful servant or will Satan burst into the most ugly, terrible laughter of victory over you saying you are mine forever, I deceived you with the pleasures and riches of the world, you made money my way, you had sex my way, you lived your life my way even though you thought you were a Christian on earth but I made sure you were an hypocritical Christian living according to my dictates “Galatians 5:19-21”, I made sure you were deluded into believing that you were living a life of purpose but I blinded you not to see that you were living in sin, now that I have your soul, there is no escape for you, you will be tormented for all eternity in this hell fire.

As a Christian, if no one forces you to go to Church in the way of following Jesus Christ or calling His name, then be a faithful Christian to God and not a false, hypocritical Christian living a double life and thinking you can hide to fool God and men “Galatians 6:7”. For such would be surprised to find out at the end of life that they have only wasted their time being Christians on earth.

Chapter One

In The Beginning

God the Almighty, the creator of all things has neither beginning nor end of existence; He is self existent and self sufficient as an infinite rational spirit. His infinity is unfathomable to the little finite minds of angels and men; we can only but comprehend a fraction of His whole being. God’s powers, capabilities and expressions know no limitations, however The Almighty God is incapable of evil for evil is not part of His nature.  

For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;

To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;

Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.

(Hebrews 7: 1-3 KJV)

The creator in His infinite wisdom and unparalleled power at one point in His eternal existence brought to being through His creative powers for his pleasure, diverse innumerable creatures capable of life and existence independently on their own in separate spheres or realms of life. Some are spiritual beings capable of existing eternally while others are physical beings having transient existence before yielding to mortality.   

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

(Genesis 1: 1 KJV)

Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

(Rev 4: 11 KJV)

Note: The scripture here states that God made everything in the beginning, by this we understand that this was the period that ushered in the beginning of all creatures of God. When this beginning was no one knows, that was the period referred to as the first dispensation out of all the eight known dispensations. Remember God’s existence predates this beginning as He Himself was not created nor does He have any beginning.

Angels are among the first set of creatures made by God to minister unto Him and to show forth His praise and glory, these beings are holy, perfect, powerful and dazzling to behold. I’ll share one of my encounters or visions of these beings much later in this book.      

Chapter Two

Lucifer The Former Archangel

The chief amongst all of these angels was Lucifer, he was God’s topmost assistant, though there were other archangels like him but he ranked highest of them in beauty, position and power. He was very close to the Triune God, The Father, The Son and The Holy Ghost who is also known as The Almighty and The Higher than the Highest.

The following scripture gives more insight into the beginning of this being.

Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.

Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.

Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.

Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee  

(Ezekiel 28: 12-15 KJV)

We see here the striking beauty of this creation of God in the way he was fashioned differently in appearance from other angels, he had an astounding body decked with all kinds of precious stones, he also had music capabilities to function as an orchestral, in other words, whenever he worshiped the Almighty in music, he could singularly sing like an hundred thousand orchestra band or more, for he had in him created by God multi voices and several musical instruments that could make music altogether at once. He was very versed in doxology.

He was God’s representative amongst all the other angels for he was their president or director who controlled all their affairs and reported directly to God. Our own little earthly human government we run down here is a miniature or shadow of divine government above. 

Angels were created in hierarchy, in other words they have different positions, powers and purposes; they are also fashioned in different heights and sizes for different ministrations. However in whatever order they belong, there was always a direct superior angel to report to by each angel, but Lucifer tops the pyramid of angelic government under God.          

Chapter Three

The Fall of Lucifer

After serving the Almighty for many ages, Lucifer turned bad and fell from grace, he rebelled against God.

For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;

That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?

(Isaiah 14: 13-15 KJV)

Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.

By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.

Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.

Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.

All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.

(Ezekiel 28: 15-19 KJV)

Lucifer suddenly fell into pride because of his astounding beauty and substantial position amongst all God’s angels. In this depraved state of self importance and self exaltation, he coveted God’s throne and so led a rebellion of angels against the Almighty.

How did he go about this? He launched a huge campaign of malicious gossip amongst all angels in denigration against the person of God; he tried to convince them that he had what it takes to be like the Almighty. Lucifer wanted to be worshiped so he stopped worshipping God and appearing before God’s throne, by this he succeeded in deceiving one third of all the angels, but the Almighty sat enthroned in majesty beholding who and who of all His angels would remain true to their allegiance to Him (God).

Now Lucifer’s rebellion did not happen in just one day as some may think, an innumerable host of angels was not what he could have worked his way through in a flash, he must have employed the use of promises of rewards and promotions to high positions to entice and trick those who obliged him while threats and assaults must have been meted out on those who declined his propositions.

God was patient enough to test all the angels while Lucifer’s rebellion lasted in heaven before judging Lucifer and the angels that followed his deception.

Note: Contentment is a great virtue that no one should be deficient of. Lucifer was not satisfied with all that he had been endowed with by God, he wanted more, he wanted God’s throne by his over ambition which drove him to try and fight the Almighty. This evil act of his proved catastrophic for him and his angels as we would find out in the next chapter.

But godliness with contentment is great gain.

(1Ti 6: 6 KJV)

Chapter Four

Origin of Evil

God in his indignation declared his judgment on Lucifer and all the angels that followed him by casting them all out of heaven. For no creature will conquer his maker.

And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.

(Jude 1: 6 KJV)

Note: Lucifer must have taken God’s meekness for weakness, he sure took The Almighty for granted by underestimating Him and His power, so he dared God and got flung out of heaven, for he had never seen an angry, fierce, dreadful and adjudicating Almighty before in all those long ages of his service under God in heaven. Lucifer from the day of his creation had only known God as the all loving, all gracious, all merciful benevolent Father because all had been beautiful, calm and peaceful until his rebellion towards The Most High and The Most Powerful.  

Lucifer’s name instantly became Satan and Devil (the deceiver) from the time of his banishment from heaven.

Satan’s sin of pride, the mother of all sins led to his evil ambition, he thought he could overthrow the Almighty to take God’s position but

he forgot that he was a creature made by God the Creator, and that, that was never going to be, so he learned the very hard way.   

We also observe that his sin of pride brought forth other sins like envy, covetousness, hatred, disobedience, deceit, slander and many more sins that he uses to destroy the earth today.

Satan thereby became the author of evil and an everlasting enemy of God, God’s angels, God’s people and God’s kingdom as he now manifests all forms of evil in his being that are in contrast to the attributes of God.

These evil angels now wander around by the decree of the Almighty, some wander in the second heaven, some on earth, some in the sea bed and some under the earth.

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:

Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

(Exodus 20: 4-5 KJV)

The ultimate judgement of God on Satan was the creation of a place called hell; this is a place of torment where the Almighty has reserved ultimately to punish Satan and his cohorts for all eternity.   

Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

(Matthew 25: 41 KJV)

For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;

(2Pet 2: 4 KJV)

Thus, this first dispensation known as the dispensation of angels ended in judgement and there followed a period called the “Gap Theory”, this was the only gap in all the eight known dispensations, it occurred between the dispensation of angels and the first in the seven dispensations of man. All the seven dispensations of man followed back to back.

Here you might wonder about the word dispensation as regards theology? It is a probationary period in angelic and human history or of a time of their stewardship before God in which they must pass a particular test that would determine their final eternal state.

Chapter Five

God Renewed Earth For Man’s Dwelling

Let us not forget that God had already created the heaven and earth in the beginning, this signifies God’s existence before that beginning, God predates time, He is timeless as He lives in eternity. This beginning marked the inauguration of time, so dates and time started to count and roll into ages from this time of creation.    

The event of God’s judgment on Satan and his angels brought about great cataclysmal changes upon earth and upon first and second heavens; those places that were once bright, beautiful and full of different creations of God became desolate, empty and filled with thick darkness as a result of God’s indignation. God’s anger also turned Satan and his angels into grotesque horrible forms which made them very revolting and scary to behold. They are the ones known today as fallen angels, demons and evil spirits.

At this point many wonder who the inhabitants of this first earth were. These were angels; for at that time they dwelled both on earth and in heaven, moving at will between both terrestrial and celestial plains in their various lines of duties. Earth desolation wasn’t going to last forever as God in his infinite wisdom would create man, a being who would be in his image with whom he would have fellowship, but first he would need to revamp earth and make it habitable for man, so God repaired and prepared earth for man’s dwelling. The first heaven, a place directly above earth, the home of the solar system or the space was also not left out of the renewal; the following scripture gives detail account of this renewal.

And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.

And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.

And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.

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.

And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

And the evening and the morning were the third day.

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:

And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

And 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.

And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,

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.

And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.

And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and everything that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

(Genesis 1: 2-25 KJV)

The daily decree of the Almighty brought earth back gradually from chaos into shape in five days, he made it this time according to human specifications, it was a physical earth as man’s nature was going to be both physical and spiritual, having supernatural qualities to relate with God his maker and also natural qualities to relate with his own kind and those of the lower order of creation as well.

Note: This omnipotent act of God is the absolute truth that counters the atheistic “big bang theory”, the scientific “evolution theory” and “god particle theory” which all claim that some great explosion occurred which brought about different creatures that evolved over certain period of time into their current state. However, the scientists have recently found out that all their theories were errors and therefore irrational and baseless, and so they have lately announced that there is an unseen force or power behind creation which appears to be an enigma. How I wish they knew that this enigma is God whose existence they still decry.   

Chapter Six

God Made Man

On the sixth day of creation, God brought a completely new being into existence, he is different from the family of angels. God called him man, a creature fashioned in His image, who would top the pyramid of all God’s creation.

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

So 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 unto 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 moveth upon the earth.

And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to everything that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.

And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day

(Genesis 1: 26-31 KJV)

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.

(Genesis 2: 7-8 KJV)

The Trinitarian God consummated all his works with a masterpiece Adam, which means (clay) that was formed out of the dust of the ground and then God ceased from His works and rested. This last act of God in creation brought to a close His six day wondrous acts.

The morning stars the sons of God (angels) witnessing the Almighty power in demonstration could not but sang and rejoiced on that sixth day that marked the completion of creation as they were filled with great awe of the Most High. In the book of Job, God declared His majestic power of creation to Job. 

Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,

Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?

Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.

Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.

Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?

Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;

When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?

When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,

And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,

And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?

Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place;

That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?

It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment.

And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high arm shall be broken.

Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast thou walked in the search of the depth?

Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death?

Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if thou knowest it all.

Where is the way where light dwelleth? and as for darkness, where is the place thereof,

That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that thou shouldest know the paths to the house thereof?

Knowest thou it, because thou wast then born? or because the number of thy days is great?

Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail,

Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?

By what way is the light parted, which scattereth the east wind upon the earth?

Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder;

To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness, wherein there is no man;

To satisfy the desolate and waste ground; and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth?

Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of dew?

Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it?

The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deep is frozen.

Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?

Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?

Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?

Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee?

Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go, and say unto thee, Here we are?

Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given understanding to the heart?

Who can number the clouds in wisdom? or who can stay the bottles of heaven,

When the dust groweth into hardness, and the clods cleave fast together?

Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion? or fill the appetite of the young lions,

When they couch in their dens, and abide in the covert to lie in wait?

Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat.

(Job 38: 1-41 KJV)
