The Two Types of Creation Part [10] 10/26/2025 (Morning thought)

Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceives the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

The two phrases: “Cast out” and “Cast out into the earth” represent two different casting out. When he was first cast out, the earth was not in existence and that’s the reason why the first phrase stops at cast out. The second casting out refers to that time at the cross, when he was forever banished from going even near the gates of heaven. Up until the Cross, satan and his angels could reach as far as the gates of heaven.

This is why the scripture tells us that he showed up when the sons of God, the representatives of the other unfallen worlds, were called to a summit. At that time satan showed up as the representative of earth, because he had succeeded in taking over the dominion from Adam, through transgression. Job 1: 6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them.

[Early Writings pp 39] There is perfect order and harmony in the Holy City. All the angels that are commissioned to visit the earth hold a golden card, which they present to the angels at the gates of the city as they pass in and out…. But after the Cross, satan and all his minions were barred forever from the gates of heaven, and they were restricted to this earth alone. These truths should be understood clearly by all, so as not to be confused by all the noise out there.

Revelation 12: 10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God, day and night.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!

The Two Types of Creation Part [9] 10/26/2025 (Evening thought)

2nd Peter 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

According to the erroneous view, by which the days of creation week are reckoned as seven vast periods of time, measuring at least 1000 years each is both non-scriptural and impractical in nature. Now, if this view was correct, then we will have to conclude that Adam never kept the Sabbath, nor did Noah, or Abraham, for all of them fell short of living one thousand years, some more, some less.

Genesis 5: 5 And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died…. Genesis 26: 5 Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws…. Before we move on there is one issue that needs to be clarified, so that the truth could be made clear in our minds. The Scripture tells us that after the war in heaven concluded, satan and his angels were cast out.

And since the sacred record clearly states that satan showed up at the forbidden tree, it then begs the logical question of when he was cast out. Some folks have stumbled on this point, and consequently, they reached two conclusions: [1] That the earth had to be in existence before creation week, at least in its chaotic form. [2] That God knew that satan was present on the earth before doing the work of creation. This has caused some to think of malice, when the work of creation was being accomplished, but this view is incorrect.

Revelation 12: 7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, 8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

May God add his blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
