GOD is not in control of everything that happens on the earth! This is a doctrine of man and now is the time to confront it. Additionally, GOD did not create the devil, man allowed this to happen. Read the following with an open heart and an open mind.
The GOD of Love did not create a being who kills, steals, and destroys. It is time for us to no longer allow this doctrine/tradition to continue to be maliciously spread concerning Our Heavenly Father once and for all. FATHER does not work against HIMSELF and we need to dispel the flawed logic of man. How do we do this? By HIS WORD!
Yes, GOD did create a being who ultimately became the god of this world but it was not by FATHER’S action. Adam and Eve are accountable for this result.
In Genesis chapter 1, FATHER spoke:
26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
Once FATHER gave dominion to man, HE limited HIMSELF to what could be done on earth and be assured that FATHER defends HIS limitation of the Covenant HE created with Adam. We rely totally on the integrity of HIS Word and so does every GOD particle which HE created else the universe would fall apart! The Covenant of dominion continues to this very day.
Who is the being who became our adversary? His name was Hêlēl and FATHER did create Hêlēl, not the one now known as satan, or the devil.
Hêlēl is described by Ezekiel and is written by THE SPIRIT in chapter 28:
1 The Word of the LORD came to me again, saying, 2 “Son of man, say to the prince of Tyre (Hêlēl), ‘Thus says the Lord GOD:
“Because your heart is lifted up,
And you say, ‘I am a god, I sit in the seat of gods, In the midst of the seas,’
Yet you are a man, and not a god,
Though you set your heart as the heart of a god
3 (Behold, you are wiser than Daniel!
There is no secret that can be hidden from you!
4 With your wisdom and your understanding
You have gained riches for yourself,
And gathered gold and silver into your treasuries;
5 By your great wisdom in trade you have increased your riches,
And your heart is lifted up because of your riches),”
6 ‘Therefore thus says the Lord GOD:
“Because you have set your heart as the heart of a god,
7 Behold, therefore, I will bring strangers against you,
The most terrible of the nations;
And they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom,
And defile your splendor.
8 They shall throw you down into the Pit,
And you shall die the death of the slain
In the midst of the seas.
9 “Will you still say before him who slays you,
‘I am a god’?
But you shall be a man, and not a god,
In the hand of him who slays you.
10 You shall die the death of the uncircumcised
By the hand of aliens;
For I have spoken,” says the Lord GOD.’ ”
Lamentation for the King of Tyre
11 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 12 “Son of man, take up a lamentation for the king of Tyre, and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD:
“You were the seal of perfection,
Full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
13 You were in Eden, the garden of God;
Every precious stone was your covering:
The sardius, topaz, and diamond,
Beryl, onyx, and jasper,
Sapphire, turquoise, and emerald with gold.
The workmanship of your timbrels and pipes
Was prepared for you on the day you were created.
14 “You were the anointed cherub who covers;
I established you;
You were on the holy mountain of God;
You walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones.
15 You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created,
Till iniquity was found in you.
Hêlēl was the anointed cherub who was given access to the Presence of GOD and led praise. He was created to provide music in FATHER’S Presence until iniquity was found in him. He had nine of the twelve stones which ultimately represented tribes of Israel according to their nature.
16 “By the abundance of your trading
You became filled with violence within,
And you sinned;
Therefore I cast you as a profane thing
Out of the mountain of God;
And I destroyed you, O covering cherub,
From the midst of the fiery stones.
17 “Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty;
You corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor;
I cast you to the ground,
I laid you before kings,
That they might gaze at you.
18 “You defiled your sanctuaries
By the multitude of your iniquities,
By the iniquity of your trading;
Therefore I brought fire from your midst;
It devoured you,
And I turned you to ashes upon the earth
In the sight of all who saw you.
19 All who knew you among the peoples are astonished at you;
You have become a horror,
And shall be no more forever.” ’ ”
By THE SPIRIT, Isaiah also referenced you by name in chapter 14:
12 “How you are fallen from heaven,
O Lucifer (Hêlēl), son of the morning!
How you are cut down to the ground,
You who weakened the nations!
13 For you have said in your heart:
‘I will ascend into heaven,
I will exalt my throne above the stars of God;
I will also sit on the mount of the congregation
On the farthest sides of the north;
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds,
I will be like the Most High.’
15 Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol,
To the lowest depths of the Pit.
16 “Those who see you will gaze at you,
And consider you, saying:
‘Is this the man who made the earth tremble,
Who shook kingdoms,
17 Who made the world as a wilderness
And destroyed its cities,
Who did not open the house of his prisoners?’
The translators used the term Lucifer yet the Hebrew is Hêlēl.
How did the transformation from Hêlēl the cherub (shining one) turn into the adversary? FATHER gave him the ability to choose. He said in his heart that he would exalt himself above his Creator. He could not do this by directly confronting FATHER. Instead he used FATHER’S Love for Adam and Eve as a means to promote his new agenda. This occurred in Genesis chapter 3:
1 Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?”
2 And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; 3 but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’ ”
4 Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. 5 For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings.
8 And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden.
9 Then the LORD God called to Adam and said to him, “Where are you?”
10 So he said, “I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself.”
11 And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?”
12 Then the man said, “The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.”
13 And the LORD God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?”
The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
FATHER had a Covenant of dominion based on Agape Love with Adam and Eve. HE gave them dominion over all the earth and every living thing. They had the independent right to choose the outcomes of what was to happen on the earth. There was only one restriction in the Covenant, the fig tree. This established their position relative to FATHER for they were a little lower than HIM and this tree reminded them of their relative position in the Covenant.
They were the ones who gave dominion to the devil, not FATHER. The devil achieved the result by deception since he had no inherent power to force them to say or do anything. They were accountable for this transfer of authority, not FATHER. This is when he became the god of this world.
Why didn’t FATHER simply wipe out Adam and Eve and start over? It was because of HIS unconditional Love for them. HE sought and intimate ongoing relationship so HE would not compromise HIS Word and commitment to them. Love doesn’t destroy or kill! To be continued…
