“IN THE BEGINNING”
WHEN YOU BEGIN TO WRITE ON ANY GIVEN SUBJECT IN THE BIBLE.
YOU MUST OVERCOME A VERY BIG OBSTACLE, BEFORE ANYTHING IS SAID.
AND THAT HAS TO DO WITH WORDS AND THEIR MEANING……………
TAKE FOR INSTANCE THE WORD,,,,,,,,,,”GAY”……………..
ONCE UPON A TIME NOT TO LONG AGO,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,WHEN THE WORD “GAY” WAS USED,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,IT MEANT THAT PERSON WAS,,,,,,,,,,,,,,HAPPY,,,,,,,UPLIFTING,,,,,,,,,,
AND NOW TODAY,,,,,,,,,,,,,THAT WORD IS DESCRIBING A “SEXUAL PREFERENCE”.
SO THE VERY FIRST THING YOU MUST DO WHEN TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE BIBLE IS MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT THE TRANSLATORS WERE MEANING WHEN THEY USED A WORD.
UNFORTIANTLY SOME VERY REAL KNOWLEDGE FROM YAHWEH HAS BEEN CLOUDED BY PHILOSOPHERS AND THEOLOGIANS IN THE PAST.
BY CLOUDING THE VERY REAL TEACHING OF YAHWEH, BY GIVING WRONG ENGLISH TRANSLATIONS OF THE ORIGINAL TEACHINGS OF SCRIPTURE.
I AM SORRY TO SAY THE KING JAMES VERSION IS THIS WAY IN A LOT OF INSTANCES………………….
WHEN I BEGAN TO STUDY THE SUBJECT AT HAND, “IN THE BEGINNING”………
THERE WAS JUST SUCH A WORD THAT MADE ME STUMBLE FROM THE VERY START.
I GREW UP IN A MAIN STREAM PROTESTANT CHURCH THAT HAD A VERY COMMON BELIEF OR UNDERSTANDING OF CERTAIN WORDS.
#2
SUCH AS,,,,,,,,,,,”ETERNITY”,,,,,,,,,,,,,,OR “EVERLASTING”,,,,,,,,,,,,”FOREVER”,,,,,,,,,,THE LIST COULD GO ON AND ON…………………………
ONE OF THE THINGS USED IN THE BIBLE , SUCH AS “THE AGES”………………….
TO ME THIS MEANT “FOREVER”,,,,,,,,,,,LIKE GOD,,,,,,,,,,,,,,ETERNAL “NO BEGINNING ,,,,,,,,,,,NO END”……………….
THEN I FOUND OUT THAT THE WORD FOR “AGES”,,,,,,,,,,,,,,IN THE BIBLE,,,,,,,IS THE HEBREW WORD,,,,,,,,,,,,,,”OLAM”…………….
THE HEBREW WORD,,,,,,,,,”OLAM”,,,,,,,,,,,,,DOES NOT EXPRESS “‘ETERNITY” OR “EVERLASTING”,,,,,,,,,,,,IN MANY INSTANCES AS IT HAS BEEN FREQUENTLY TRANSLATED IN THE KING JAMES VERSION…………………
RATHER,,,,,,,,,,,,IT EXPRESSES A DURATION OF TIME, DURING WHICH A PERSON, THING, OR STATE OF A THING, IN A STATE OF TIME……………………
SIMPLY PUT,,,,,,,,,,,,,IT CAN HAVE A BEGINNING AND A CONCLUSION OR END.
AS USUAL,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,STRONG’S CAN GIVE A MIS-UNDERSTANDING OF A WORD,,,,,,,,,,,,WHICH LEADS TO MIS-TRANSLATING A WORD.
STRONG”S #5769,,,,,,,,,”OLAM” OR “OWAM”,,,,,,,,,WHICH SAYS,,,,,,,,,,THE VANISHING POINT, GENERALLY, TIME OUT OF MIND, ETERNITY, EVERLASTING, BEING OF THE WORD WITHOUT END………………………
TAKE YOUR PICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LETS TAKE A PLACE WHERE “OLAM” HAS BEEN TRANSLATED “FOREVER”……….
JONAH 2:6,,,,,,,,,,,,FIRST HALF OF THE VERSE,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
“I WENT DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THE MOUNTAIN, THE EARTH, WITH HER BARS WAS ABOUT ME “FOREVER”,,,,,,,,,,,,(OLAM)………………….
THIS SOUNDS LIKE JONAH WAS OUT OF IT “FOREVER”…………………
BUT FROM THE REST OF THE BOOK WE FIND OUT THAT WAS NOT THE CASE,,,,,,,,,
LATER ON WE FIND OUT THAT JONAH WAS IN THE BELLY OF THE GREAT FISH, FOR 3 DAYS AND 3 NIGHTS…………………….
#3
A COUPLE OF OTHER PLACES WHERE “OLAM” IS USED,,,,,,,,,,,,
PSALM 78:69,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
“AND HE BUILT HIS SANCTUARY LIKE HIGH PLACES, LIKE THE EARTH, WHICH HE HAS ESTABLISHED “FOREVER” (OLAM)………………….
ECCLESIASTES 1:4,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
“ONE GENERATION PASSED AWAY, AND ANOTHER GENERATION COMES, BUT THE EARTH ABIDES “FOR EVER”. (OLAM)
THESE SENTENCES SEEMS TO INDICATE THAT THE PRESENT EARTH WILL EXIST FOR ALL TIME.
THAT IT WILL NEVER BE REMOVED OR DESTROYED.
BUT THE BIBLE TELLS US IN OTHER PLACES THAT THE EARTH IS DECAYING AND THAT IT IS IN A STATE OF CORRUPTION. (ROMANS 8:20-22)
THE EARTH IS WAXING OLD LIKE A GARMENT WHICH GETS PROGRESSIVELY OLD AND WEARS OUT. (HEBREWS 1:10-12)
EVENTUALLY THE EARTH COMES TO AN END AND A NEW ONE MUST BE CREATED.
THIS EARTH WILL NOT LAST “FOREVER” AS SOME TRANSLATORS INDICATE.
ISAIAH 65:17,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
“FOR, BEHOLD, I CREATE NEW HEAVENS AND A NEW EARTH: AND THE FORMER SHALL NOT BE REMEMBERED, NOR COME TO MIND”……………………
I POINT OUT THE FOREGOING TO SAY THAT IN THE BIBLE WHEN IT USES “FOREVER” OR “EVER AND EVER”,,,,,,,,,,,IT IS NOT SAYING “ETERNAL”……….
SOME OF THE “AGES” AND OTHER PLACES SAY “FOREVER” HAVE A BEGINNING AND AN END………………………
BUT,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,DO NOT CONFUSE THIS WITH THE FATHER YAHWEH,,,,,,,,,,WHO IS “ETERNAL”,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,MEANING CONTINUAL EXISTENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BUT THE WORD “OLAM” IN HEBREW OR “AION” IN GREEK,,,,,,,,,,,ARE NOT PROOF OF THIS.
#4
LET US CONSIDER THIS,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
HEBREWS 1:8,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
“BUT UNTO THE SON HE SAYS, “YOUR THRONE, OH GOD, IS “FOREVER AND EVER” A SCEPTER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS IS THE SCEPTER OF YOUR KINGDOM”“……………..
THAT KINGDOM OF THE SON SEEMS TO HAVE AN EVERLASTING EXISTENCE……………..
1 CORINTHIANS 15:24, 28,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
“THEN COMES THE END, WHEN HE SHALL HAVE DELIVERED UP THE KINGDOM TO GOD, (YAHWEH) EVEN THE FATHER”……………….
“AND WHEN ALL THINGS SHALL BE SUBDUED (SUBJECTED) UNTO HIM, THEN SHALL THE SON (YAHSHUA) ALSO HIMSELF BE SUBJECT UNTO HIM THAT PUT ALL THINGS UNDER HIM, THAT GOD (YAHWEH) MAY BE ALL IS ALL”……………..
THIS MAKES IT CLEAR THAT THE REIGN OF THE SON (YAHSHUA) WILL HAVE A CONCLUSION OR END…………………………..
EVEN THOUGH THE KINGDOM ITSELF WILL CONTINUE , UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF THE FATHER. (YAHWEH)
GEN 1:1 ,,,,,,,,,,,,,RECORDS A DEFINITE BEGINNING OF THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH,,,,,,,,,,,,NOT YAHWEH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“IN THE BEGINNING ELOHIM OR GOD (YAHWEH) CREATED THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH”……………..
RIGHT OFF THE START,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,NOT THE BEST TRANSLATION…………………
ELOHIM MEANS “MIGHTY ONE”,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
GOD CAN BE MANY GODS, POOR SUBSTITUTE FOR,,,,,,,,,,,,YAHWEH THE ETERNAL FATHER OF ALL THINGS……………….
WOULD IT NOT BE NICE IF WE UNDERSTOOD EVERYTHING IT IS TO KNOW??????
BUT,,,,,,WE DON’T AND PROBABLY NEVER WILL………………….
I HAVE TO ADMIT I HAVE STRUGGLED WITH THE “ONE GOD” CONCEPT
#5
HAVING GROWN UP IN A FAMILY AND CHURCH ENVIRONMENT THAT BELIEVED IN THE TRINITY.
THREE PERSONS IN ONE,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,WELL,,,,,,,,,,,,I JUST NEVER COULD GRASP THAT CONCEPT.
AND THEN VERY EARLY IN MY LIFE YOU THROW IN THE IDEA THAT JESUS CHRIST (YAHSHUA) ONLY CAME INTO BEING AT HIS PHYSICAL BIRTH……………..
AND THEN YOU THROW IN JOHN 1:1,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
“IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD AND THE WORD WAS WITH ELOHIM AND THE WORD WAS ELOHIM”……………………
I HAVE TO ADMIT FROM THE BEGINNING IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN CONFUSING TO ME.
THEN WHEN I CAME INTO WWCG ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I FOUND OUT THEY WERE JUST ABOUT AS CONFUSED AS I WAS………………………….
- ARMSTRONG WANTED TO SAY THE ONE GOD CONCEPT WAS ONE FAMILY WITH TWO PERSONS……………………..
BUT HE NEVER WAS ABLE TO FULLY CONVINCE ME OF THAT.
TWO PERSONS SITTING AROUND ONE DAY AND ONE OF THEM DECIDED HE WOULD BECOME JESUS CHRIST AND DIE FOR ALL MANKIND………………….
I HAVE TO AGREE WITH PAUL,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,”I SEE THINGS THROUGH A VERY MURKY GLASS”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TO SAY THAT THE BIBLE DOES NOT EXPLAIN EVERYTHING TO US IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT.
SO I THOUGHT I WOULD PUT DOWN SOME OF MY THOUGHTS ABOUT “IN THE BEGINNING”………………………
WELL,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,GOOD LUCK ON THAT ONE…………………..
SO LETS JUST SEE WHAT I CAN DO…………………….
#6
WE KNOW THAT THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT THERE IS ONE GOD, ELOHIM (MIGHTY ONE) WHOSE NAME IS YAHWEH (YHVH)
ENTIRE SUBJECT IN ITSELF WHICH I HAVE WRITTEN ABOUT BEFORE.
YAHWEH (THE FATHER) IS THE EVER EXISTING, EVERLASTING, ETERNAL, NO BEGINNING, NO END!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BUT, THEN THE BIBLE SAYS EVERYTHING THAT WAS MADE WAS MADE BY THE SON,,,,,,,,,,,JESUS CHRIST (YAHSHUA)……………………
WE KNOW THERE HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT AGES DOWN THROUGH TIME.
THAT IS WHY I TRIED TO EXPLAIN THE WORD “OLAM” WHICH HAS BEEN TRANSLATED AS ‘EVERLASTING” IN MANY PLACES IN THE BIBLE.
TO SHOW THAT IT IS NOT NECESSARILY SO IN EVERY CASE,,,,,,,,,,,”AGES” HAVE A BEGINNING AND WILL OR HAVE HAD AN END!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BUT SHOULD NOT BE USED TO DESCRIBE YAHWEH THE FATHER…………………
WHO HAS NO BEGINNING OR END!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“IN THE BEGINNING GOD (YAHWEH) CREATED THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH”…………………
HOW MUCH IS LEFT OUT OF THIS VERSE????????????????
HOW MANY AGES DOES THIS COVER????????????????
NO WAY OF KNOWING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I AM WRITING THIS, SO I CAN TAKE THE LIBERTY TO PUT MY TAKE ON THIS.
YOU CAN BELIEVE IT OR NOT,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,MAKES NO DIFFERENCE…………….
THIS VERSE SHOULD READ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
“IN THE BEGINNING, YAHWEH…………………(PERIOD)
THE ONE GOD, EVERLASTING, ETERNAL……………
PAUL IN HIS WRITINGS TELLS US THAT JESUS CHRIST (YAHSHUA) WAS “BEFORE ALL THINGS”……………………
#7
THIS IS TALKING ABOUT TIME,,,,,,,,,,,,,,SPACE,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,THINGS,,,,,,,,,,,,,,AGES………..
SO,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,WHAT WAS THE VERY FIRST THING THAT WAS CREATED??????????
PAUL TELLS US THAT THE VERY FIRST THING IN ALL CREATION ,,,,,,,,BEFORE TIME AND SPACE,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
YAHWEH’S VERY FIRST CREATION WAS,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
“JESUS CHRIST” (YAHSHUA)…………………………….
I AM SAYING, THIS MEANS THAT JESUS CHRIST (YAHSHUA) WAS A CREATED BEING,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,AND DID NOT HAVE ETERNAL EXISTENCE BEFORE HIS CREATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HE WAS BEFORE ANYTHING WAS CREATED, AS RECORDED IN PROVERBS 8:22-31 ,,,,,,,,,READ IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HE BECAME GOD (YAHWEH) LIKE THE FATHER, BECAME THE FIRST CREATION OF THE FATHER,,,,,,,,,,,,YAHWEH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BECOMING THE FIRSTBORN OF ALL CREATION AND WAS GIVEN ETERNAL LIFE AND WAS USED AS THE CREATOR OF ALL THINGS WITH THE FULL POWER OF YAHWEH’S HOLY SPIRIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SO NOW,,,,,,,,,,,,,JOHN 1:1 IS MORE EASILY UNDERSTOOD……………………..
READ PROVERBS 8:22-30 ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,AGAIN………………….
I DON’T THINK THAT THERE IS ANY DOUBT,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,YAHWEH SPOKE AND THE SON,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,YAHSHUA, THROUGH THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, CREATED ALL THINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IN THE VERY BEGINNING, BEFORE THERE WAS ANYTHING CREATED, THERE WAS THE FATHER AND THEN THE SON AND THEY WERE BOTH GOD. (ELOHIM)
HOW MANY AGES HAVE THERE BEEN SINCE THE BEGINNING?????????????
I DON’T KNOW,,,,,,,,,AND I DON’T THINK ANYONE ELSE DOES EITHER.
I THINK AFTER YAHSHUA’S CREATION, THEN CAME “THE SONS OF GOD”,,,,,,THE CHERUBIM,,,,,,,,,,, AND ALL THE ANGELS WHICH INCLUDED “LUCIFER” OR THE ONE WHO BECAME SATAN.
#8
BUT ALL THESE AGES WERE NOT ETERNAL,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,THEY CAME TO AN END AND THEN ANOTHER STARTED.
THEN CAME THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH.
HOW MANY YEARS??????????????? BILLIONS OF YEARS,,,,,,,,,NO WAY OF KNOWING……………….
THERE ARE TWO REALMS, THE SPIRITUAL AND THE PHYSICAL.
THE EARTHLY OR PHYSICAL , SEEMS TO BE A COPY OF THE SPIRITUAL WORLD.
THE EARTH IS NOT LIKE IT APPEARED WHEN IT WAS FIRST CREATED.
DOES YAHWEH CREATE ANYTHING THAT IS WASTE AND VOID???????????
NOT POSSIBLE,,,,,,,,,SO BEFORE THE ACCOUNT IN GEN 1:2 SOMETHING HAD TO HAVE HAPPENED.
THE EARTH WAS IN DARKNESS AMD WATER COVERED THE ENTIRE EARTH,
HOW DID IT BECOME THIS WAY??????????????
WE CAN ONLY SPECULATE FROM SKETCHES PROVIDED IN THE SCRIPTURES.
COULD IT HAVE BEEN BECAUSE OF THE REBELLION OF LUCIFER??????????
YES,,,,,,,,,,,,,I WOULD HAVE TO SAY SO……………………….
SATAN WANTED TOO, AND STILL DOES, WANTED TOO UNSEAT YAHWEH AND YAHSHUA……………………….
THERE WAS WAR IN HEAVEN AND THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE.
BEFORE THIS TIME, THE EARTH APPEARED TO BE A TROPICAL PARADISE.
NO FROZEN NORTH OR SOUTH POLES.
THE EARTH WAS STRAIGHT UP, TRUE NORTH AND TRUE SOUTH,
IT IS OUT OF KILTER AND WOBBLES NOW………………….
#9
THE EARTH WAS GREEN VEGETATION, WORKABLE, WITH EVEN AND PLEASANT TEMPERATURES, NO STORMS, NO UPHEAVAL AT ALL…………….
HOW LONG WAS IT IN THIS STATE???????????????
BILLIONS AND BILLIONS OF YEARS, NO WAY OF KNOWING…………………
LONG ENOUGH TO FORM ALL THE FOSSIL FUELS SUCH AS OIL, GAS, AND COAL.
WHAT WE DO KNOW,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,IT CAME TO AN END.
HOW LONG DID THE EARTH SIT BEFORE GEN 1:3?????????????
WE DON’T KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHAT WE DO KNOW?????????????
NO PHYSICAL HUMANS OR PEOPLE, ONLY SPIRIT BEINGS………………..
NOAH’S FLOOD WAS A SECOND TIME THE EARTH WAS RE-SHAPED BY WATER.
AND THEN THE EARTH WAS PREPARED FOR MAN………………………..
IN CONCLUSION,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
HOW OLD IS THE UNIVERSE AND THE EARTH????????????
NO WAY OF KNOWING………….
I THINK THAT WE CAN DEDUCE FROM READING THE SCRIPTURES,,,,,,,,,,SINCE IT SAYS THAT ALL THINGS WERE CREATED BY YAHSHUA,,,,,,,,,,,,,
AND THAT THERE IS ONLY ONE YAHWEH, THE FATHER,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
THE STATEMENT “IN THE BEGINNING YAHWEH”,,,,,,,,,,,SHOULD STAND ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WE ARE NOT SPECIFICALLY TOLD THE NEXT STEP.
BUT,,,,,,,,,YAHSHUA WAS THE FIRST CREATION OF THE FATHER…………………..
#10
HOW LONG DID IT TAKE???????????????
WHAT WERE THE SPECIFIC STEPS FOR YAHSHUA TO BECOME THE LITERAL SON OF YAHWEH,,,,,,,,,,,,I DON’T KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE ONLY THING I KNOW AND BELIEVE IS THAT IT DID HAPPEN……………..
BECAUSE HE WAS CREATED, DOES THAT MAKE HIM ANY LESS DEVINE OR ELOHIM (GOD)?????????????
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HE IS THE FIRST BORN OF MANY SONS THAT WILL BE IN THE FAMILY OF YAHWEH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HE IS OUR ELDER BROTHER AND SITS ON THE RIGHT HAND OF THE FATHER……..
HE SITS THERE TO MAKE INTERCESSION BETWEEN YOU AND THE FATHER.
YOU AND I CAN HAVE INSTANT ACCESS TO THE FATHER, BECAUSE OF THE SACRIFICE OF YAHSHUA THE FIRST BORN SON OF YAHWEH…………………..
PRAY FOR WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING, KNOWING THAT ONE DAY ALL THESE THINGS WILL BECOME CLEAR……………………..
PRAISE-YE-YAH………………………….
