Isaiah 14:19 But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.
[The desire of Ages pp 761] By shedding the blood of the Son of God, he had uprooted himself from the sympathies of the heavenly beings. Henceforth his work was restricted. Whatever attitude he might assume, he could no longer await the angels as they came from the heavenly courts, and before them accuse Christ’s brethren of being clothed with the garments of blackness and the defilement of sin. The last link of sympathy between Satan and the heavenly world was broken.
As we bring this first segment to a close, we owe it to ourselves to discover why the sacred truths about God, in His capacity as Creator are so important to the you and me in the here and now, and how they can be applied in your everyday experiences. Let us go back to the two basic methods by which The Lord creates. [1] He does not necessarily need any raw materials to bring things into existence. [2] He doesn’t need vast periods of time to get His will done.
Again, just to recap: [1] With evolution, you must have some sort of raw material in order to produce. [2] You will need vast periods of time for any kind of development. When the two kinds of creation employed by God are understood, it greatly changes our perspectives and our expectations of Him, whereas the guiding principles of evolution tend to place severe limits on what can be done.
Isaiah 40:25 To whom then will you liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One. 26 Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one fails.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
