Basis for our Studies this Year:
The Bible tells us that the “End (of the world) is declared from the “beginning” (Isaiah 46:10). Certainly, this means that the early Biblical record of human history bears End-time prophetic significance. But, it’s actually even more specific than that. The original Hebrew word translated as “beginning” in Isaiah 46:10 is תישאר (rê’shı̂yth). This is the root of Bereshith, which is the Hebrew name of the first Book of the Bible, “Genesis”. In other words, prophecies of the End of the World are found in the Book of Genesis.
The Torah is one of the five keys for unlocking End-time Prophecy… Prophecy is unlocked through the Statutes!
The Creation Week is the Spiritual Template for Sanctification:
The Biblical Account of Creation is being Rejected,
especially in the Last Days
• 2 Peter 3:3-5 -
“Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking
after their own lusts, For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the
Word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth…”
• Psalm 33:6 “By
the Word of Yahweh were the heavens made; and all the host of
them by the breath of His mouth.”
Understanding Creation – in fact Creationism – is the
key to Sanctification
Evolutionism is the Key to Destruction:
·
Before (and into) the 1700’s
everyone believed in Creation
·
In 1789, in the French Revolution
they outlawed the Bible (burned them publicly)
·
They rebelled against Yahweh and
shut down the churches.
· The same teachings that led to the
French Revolution are the influences in our world today…
Founders of Evolution
·
J.B. Lamarck (1744-1829)
o
“Species
cannot be distinguished completely from each other. They pass into one another,
proceeding from the simple Infusoria (simplest microscopic life forms) right up
to man.” J.B. Lamarck
o
Lamarck’s teachings of
“transformism” were the foundation for the French rebellion against Yahweh.
When we are
His “Creatures” (literally means “Created ones”), Old things pass away and we
become new Creation…
· 2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new
creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”

The first Act of Creation: Day 1
· The
Spirit of Yahweh moves upon the waters
o
Genesis 1:1-2
“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was
without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And
the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.”
o
Revelation 17:15 “And He saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest… are peoples, and
multitudes, and nations, and tongues.”
o
Romans 8:10-11 “And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the
Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him that raised
up Yahshua from the dead dwell in you, He that raised up Christ from the dead
shall also quicken (make alive) your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth
in you.”
Spiritual Evolution – Shuts Down Step 1:
“Don’t get
too serious about God – you don’t want to be weird”
The second Act of Creation: Day 1
· Yahweh
Creates Light – and Divides it from Darkness
o
Genesis 1:3-4
“And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the
light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the
darkness.”
o
Psalm 18:28
“For Thou wilt light my candle: Yahweh my God will enlighten my darkness.”
o
John 8:12
“Then spake Yahshua again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he
that followeth Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of
life.”
o
Yahweh
gives Light – which is Truth and Righteousness. And He divides us out from
Darkness – which is deception and wickedness.
o
“Thy
Word is a Lamp unto my feet and a Light unto my path” – enlightenment comes
from Yahweh’s Word.
§ If we want to embrace darkness, we
are resisting the division
Spiritual Evolution – Shuts Down Step 2:
·
“Bible study is boring… Church had better be fun!”
The third Act of Creation: Day 2
· Yahweh
Creates the Waters and Divides the Water from the Water – Divided by Firmament
o
Genesis 1:6-7
“And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it
divide the waters from the waters. And God made the firmament, and divided
the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were
above the firmament: and it was so.”
o
2 Corinthians 6:14-15 “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for
what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion
hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? Or what
part hath he that believeth with an infidel?”
§ Love is manifested in 3 distinct
words in the NT:
· Agape – “For God so loved the world…” –
this is Heaven’s love manifested for everyone…
We likewise are told to “love” even our “enemies”… Love does not
tolerate evil… Also, in this stage, love is outpoured through the human
channel, and nothing comes back up the “tube” to the giver. So, the Grace of
Yah is flowing through the person – to bring living water to those around them,
and nothing from the world goes back into the believer…”
· Filio – Brotherly love – this is the stage
where soul-ties are formed… This is the
fellowship level… Brotherly love is reserved for those who are Growing in
Grace.
