GOD’S ETERNAL PLAN

As implemented through

Jesus Christ:

God’s plan was and is to rule the creation through His anointed King Jesus Christ and His Redeemed Sons of God, men and women, Romans 8:18-23, Galatians 3:26-29.

Hebrews chapter one, see below, is an over view of God’s plan that existed before the ages, before the foundation of the world, before our created time and space ever existed, 1Peter 1:19-20.

The Son of God who is God, preexisted with God the Father, John 17:5 and He took the form of a Man, Philippians 2:5-8 which was the Baby Jesus, John 1:1-14 who was born of a virgin and predestined by God to be the Lord of Lords and King of Kings.

The obstructionist:

A simple understanding here is that Satan wants the position that was assigned before time began to Jesus Christ.

At the end of Satan’s appeal for reinstatement, Revelation 12:7-10, Satan and his Angels will be cast out of Heaven and try to subvert, take control of Planet Earth in a final winner take all by War and Pestilence, possibly Germ Warfare in a 3.5 year time period.  

At the end of the 3.5 year he will be defeated at Armageddon and then put in prison for 1000 years.  After the 1000 years which is reserved for the Kingdom Of Heaven, he will be released for a short period of time and allowed to deceive those on the Earth who can be deceived by their yen for Evil and wanting to have control.

Satan is currently an active member in God’s Show and Tell program, Romans 8:18-23, Acts 2:22-24.

After his release and recapture, Satan will be cast into the Lake of Fire and remain there forever.

At that time our current planet Earth and our universe will dissolve in flaming fire and be reduced to nothing, 2Peter 3:7-and-10, Revelation 20:11, Hebrews 1:3 (the word of his power).

Following the Great White Throne judgment, Revelation 20:11-15 which is the last resurrection for the remainder of humanity, John 5:28-29, we will be transferred to the New Heaven and Earth for Eternity, Revelation 21:1.

Satan’s plan apparently was to force God to capitulate, change His mind concerning the ruler-ship of the Creation.  Like other despots, Satan had become a legend in his own mind.

His methodology was to cause the fall of Adam and Eve in the Garden. After the fall of Adam and Eve in Eden, God informed Satan about the REDEEMER who would become his true adversary, Genesis 3:15.

The contest here is not to see who will win or lose but the objective is to demonstrate the infallibility, impeccability of God’s plan and His redeemer who is the Christ for the benefit of God’s elect Angels and elect mankind, Revelation 22:11-21.

When God’s program of redemption is complete, Satan will go where he deserves to be, the lake of fire, Matthew 25:41.

Ezekiel chapter 28:

LUCIFER, THE CREATED:

11**And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

12**”Son of man, raise a lament over the king of Tyre, and you must say to him, ‘thus says the Lord Yahweh: “You WERE a perfect model of an example, full of wisdom and perfect of beauty.

At the time of this writing Satan is being addressed by the name of his New Identity which is the King of Tyre who Satan possessed. The King is addressed here also meaning that he like the serpent in Eden, Genesis 3:1, could have resisted Satan but did not, Luke 8:32-33, So the King will also be judged.

Satan’s original identity was Lucifer, the morning star, the Anointed Cherub who covers. Because of his unscrupulous dealings, Lucifer had been removed from Heaven by God and cast down to planet Earth. He was also given the name Satan meaning the enemy of God.

Those who worship Satan do so by his former name Lucifer which was the name of his former Glory which he no longer possesses.

Satan’s objective is to recapture his former Glory and to replace Jesus Christ. Unfortunately for him, he will accomplish neither goal.

Lucifer not only changed names, he also changed his form and lost the position that God had created him to fill. However, as a spirit he still retains some of the abilities that he was created with and uses them to promote destruction, Ephesians 2:2.

Satan used the POWER OF THE AIR and the SONS OF DISOBEDIENCE in an attempt to defeat Job, Job chapters 1. In Job chapter 2 he used pestilence, disease to defeat Job.  

Satan caused Job a lot of Grief but he failed to defeat Job. Even Job’s 3 religious friends failed to defeat Job with their home spun religious jargon, Job 42:7-8.

Satan also works through other Demon possessed kings to establish his ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT. The kings of Daniel 9:13-and-20 had no fear of God’s Messenger.  Genesis 11:6-8 countermands an attempt to form the headquarters of a one world Government with the tower being a land mark and not an attempt to reach Heaven.

13**You were in Eden, the garden of God, and every precious stone was your adornment: carnelian, topaz and moonstone, turquoise, onyx and jasper, sapphire, malachite and emerald. And gold was the craftsmanship of your settings and your mountings in you; on the day when you were created they were prepared.

The magnificent body of Lucifer, verse 13 was prepared by God before the spiritual aspect of Lucifer was created and placed into his body.

The body of Adam was formed first and then God breathed the breath of LIVES into it meaning mortal life and spiritual life, Genesis 2:7. The Hebrew word translated life is plural and means LIVES.

In a human body all the parts have different functions. If one part is defective then the whole body suffers. If a more critical part becomes defective the whole body becomes critically ill or dies. Each part is important, 1Corinthians 12:13-31 and 13:1-13.

A mortal or spiritual body is necessary for us to function as men and women in this reality which is time and space. When believers die their spirit moves to residence with the Lord in God’s heaven, 2Corinthians 5:6. Others move to a holding prison like Hades and remain in limbo awaiting judgment, 1Peter 3:18-20 and 4:6.

14**You were an anointed guardian cherub, and I placed you on God’s HOLY MOUNTAIN; you walked in the midst of STONES OF FIRE.

15**”You were blameless in your ways From the day you were created until unrighteousness was found in you.

16**”By the abundance of your trade You were internally filled with violence, And you sinned; Therefore I have cast you as profane From the MOUNTAIN OF GOD. And I have destroyed you, O COVERING CHERUB, from the midst of the STONES OF FIRE.

What impresses me about verse 16 is that Lucifer was feathering his nest so to speak using weighted, loaded dice so to speak. He turned his focus away from God and righteousness and pursued gathering and collecting of assets by any means necessary.  He forsook righteousness. He was created to have oversight, a manager of the creation but become useless for any Godly purpose.  Instead of being an asset he became a liability.

COVERING CHERUB is a privileged position of authority and apparently an important cog in the intermeshing purposes of God who established authority and oversight for a righteous creation.

Eternal leaders will be fully qualified leaders for the benefit OF ALL and not incompetent as many are today who prefer Evil.

The MOUNTAIN OF GOD is the third, 3rd Heaven, 2Corinthians 12:1-4 also called Paradise and God’s Heaven.  Mountain in the Bible sometimes means a kingdom; So, always refer to the context.

It is clear here that the STONES OF FIRE is a place or position of importance and is sometimes translated SPARKLING GEMS which were also Lucifer’s covering, Ezekiel 28:13-14 above.

 Jesus Christ is the BRIGHT MORNING STAR, Revelation 22:16. Lucifer was a Morning Star as were others, Job 38:7. Faithful believers, Revelation 3:10-11 will be given the Morning Star, Revelation 2:26 which is great authority and they will reign as brothers, Sons of God, male and female with Christ as they have the same Spiritual Father and they are conformed to the image of Jesus, Romans 8:29, Galatians 3:28-29.

17**”Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; You corrupted your wisdom by reason of your splendor. I cast you to the GROUND; I put you BEFORE KINGS, That they may see you.

Lucifer’s humility and wisdom were compromised, overcome by his physical splendor and intellect and other assets. They overrode his position and responsibility toward his RIGHTEOUS CREATOR. This means that Satan made a choice from his volition, free will.

If God had created Robots and not beings of free will He could have avoided a lot of trouble. Robots like computers have programmed responses and personalities. Mankind was created in the image of God to be free agents and to have free will and intellect.

Lucifer had already become Satan and apparently understood that God’s plan was to replace him and his followers with human beings who would be led by the King of Kings and Lord of Lords so he struck early and often. Satan unknowingly became a tool for God’s purpose. Acts 2:22-24.

GROUND here is planet Earth. What God is doing here is making an example to the KINGS OF HEAVEN of what not to do or be. His residence is no longer God’s Heaven but he still has access to God, Job 1:6, and Revelation 12:10.

18**”By the multitude of your iniquities, In the unrighteousness of your trade You profaned your SANCTUARIES. Therefore I have brought fire from the midst of you; It has consumed you, And I have turned you to ASHES on the Earth In the eyes of ALL WHO SEE YOU.

Beginning at Ezekiel 28:13 the person being addressed is Lucifer who had already become Satan. The King of Tyre was human, Ezekiel 28:1-12 and possessed of Satan and part of Satan’s current identity.

This is not the king of Tyre that Solomon dealt with but it is the king who lived at the time of the Babylonian exile and the Prophet Daniel.

ALL WHO SEE YOU would be Angelic and Human beings as Satan has taken the form of the King of Tyre here and subsequently other losers of History.

Humans are body and spirit. The spirit animates, gives life to the body. When the spirit leaves, the body is dead and soon decays becoming what it was made from which is minerals and water. We are mostly water but the minerals are the building blocks of the body and keep us from evaporating.

SANCTUARIES here are probably not religious as Lucifer had Face to Face contact with God, Revelation 21:22. Probably Lucifer kept the booty, unjust gain in his sanctuaries, country estates perhaps as trophies.

ASHES here I understand to mean that Lucifer lost his created form and was reduced to a Spirit.  Spirits can take different forms such as the reptile in Genesis 3:1 and the Earthly Kings of Babylon, Isaiah14:4 and the King of Tyre, Ezekiel 28:12. While body’s of men die and decay, Satan lives on moving to a different body.

BEFORE KINGS, sometimes translated PRINCE (KJV) OF THE EARTH, Isaiah 14:9-12 probably are Demon, fallen Angels who possessed Kings such as Stalin and Hitler in our time, Daniel 10:13-and-20.

19**”All who know you among the peoples, (Heavenly Host) are appalled at you; You have come to (approaching) a dreadful end And you will CEASE TO BE forever.

CEASE TO BE here probably means cease to be of consequence or relevance as Satan will burn in torment in the Lake of Fire forever, Revelation 20:10.

ISAIAH 14:13-14

For thou hast said in thine heart:

  1. I WILL ASCEND INTO HEAVEN,

  2. I WILL exalt my throne ABOVE THE STARS (Angels) of God:

  3. WILL SIT also upon the MOUNT OF THE CONGREGATION (a seat of authority), in the SIDES OF THE NORTH, Psalm 48:1-2:

  4. WILL ascend above the HEIGHTS OF THE CLOUDS (planet Earth);

  5. I WILL be COMPARED TO THE MOST HIGH.

These are Satan’s stated objective meaning he would return to his former Glory as Lucifer and take the place of Jesus Christ.

Hebrews chapter one, see below is God’s answer to Satan’s ridiculous assertions. This is all being allowed to prove to the elect Angels and Elect mankind the invincibility, implacability and foreknowledge of God.

Righteousness is the only way that the Creation can survive. The dog eat dog mentality of Evil would eventually consume itself and destroy the creation as it is doing today.

Hebrews chapter 1:

1**Although God spoke long ago in many parts and in many ways to the fathers by the prophets,

2**in these last days he has spoken to us by the Son, whom he appointed HEIR OF ALL THINGS, through whom also he made the world, John 1:1-15,

3**who is the radiance of his glory and the representation of his essence, SUSTAINING ALL THINGS BY THE WORD OF His POWER. When he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

4**having become by so much better than the angels, by as much as he has INHERITED a more excellent name than theirs.

INHERITED here means to us that Jesus the God-Man was appointed by the God Head and guaranteed success in all His trials as God never fails in word or deed, 2Timothy 3:16, 2Peter 1:20-21. In Titus 1:2 the Greek word translated hope is old English hope and means sure and certain hope or confidence.

5**FOR TO WHICH OF THE ANGELS DID HE EVER SAY, “You are my son, today I have begotten you,” and again, “I will be his father, and he will be my son “?

6**And again, when he brings the firstborn into the world, he says, “And let all the ANGELS OF GOD WORSHIP HIM.”

The Son preexisted with the father, John 17:5 and was begotten, born the Baby Jesus of the SEED OF THE WOMAN, Genesis 3:15 becoming the SON OF MAN meaning He is both humanity and Deity. The son of God is the Spirit that animates the body of Jesus and will do so forever.

God is currently ruling and judging through His humanity but in eternity He will rule by His Deity, 1Corinthians 15:24-25.

The fullness of Deity, Colossians 2:9 probably occurred at His water baptism or perhaps at His resurrection, returning Him to His original status, Philippians 2:5-11.

Verse 5 of Philippians 2 reminds us that we are in our humble state and have not yet been glorified, Romans 8:29-30, 1John 3:2, Romans 8:23.

7**And concerning the angels he says, “The one who makes his angels winds, and his servants a flame of fire,”

8**but CONCERNING THE SON, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, and the scepter of righteous is the scepter of your kingdom.

9**You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; because of this God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of joy more than your companions, Romans 8:29-30.

10**And, “You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning, and the heavens are the works of your hands, John 1:1-14;

11**they will perish, but you continue, and they will all become old like a garment,

12**and like a robe you will roll them up, and like a garment they will be changed, 2Peter 3:10; but you are the same, and your years will not run out.”

13**BUT TO WHICH OF THE ANGELS HAS HE EVER SAID, “SIT DOWN AT MY RIGHT HAND, UNTIL I MAKE YOUR ENEMIES A FOOTSTOOL FOR YOUR FEET.”

14**Are they not all spirits engaged in special service, sent on assignment for the sake of those who are going to inherit salvation?
