The Godhead Time-line
Part 3
Compiled and Illustrated from The Scriptures
The Spirit of Prophecy July 2015
2
In Part 2 of this study on The Godhead Time-Line,
we concluded with our focus on the firmament,
which GOD by HIS Word created in the midst of the
waters, to divide the waters from the waters. And
that firmament between the waters, which are
above the firmament and below the firmament, HE
called the firmament heaven, wherein the stars,
the sun and the moon make their abode.
As we have learned from our study of The Word,
the waters that were divided to be above and
below the firmament, the waters represented the
multitudes of beings that were caught in the
power of death and darkness by the adversary.
The waters above the firmament, they are the
multitude of beings that are redeemed, to dwell
and abide in Life and Light in heaven. But the
waters that were below the firmament, they are
the multitudes of beings that chose to believe
the adversary, who said that he is a God, and
they remain cut off from The Life of Light in
GODS Word, because they believed not HIS Word.
They were gathered together in one place. And
that one place is the earth.
3
In Part 3 we will address The Godhead Time-line
from the understanding that we have already
gained from the presentations of Part 1 and Part
2.
In the teaching of The Trinity doctrine, which
many churches hold to be true, they without the
evidence from The Scriptures have concluded that
in the beginning when GOD said, Let us, He was
speaking of two Individuals plus HIMSELF, to be
three Divine Beings, Who were there in the
beginning of the creation of the heaven and the
earth.
But the problem with this teaching of The Trinity
doctrine is that one of these Beings is The Son
of GOD, Who is human. But since the earth was not
yet formed, to make man from the dust of the
ground, then The Son of GOD, Who is also human,
to be one with humanity, He cannot be of man, if
man was not yet formed, and He already existed as
one of three members of The Godhead before man
was formed. This time-line of mans creation,
after The Son of GOD existed, makes no connection
with man in his humanity.
4
By establishing a teaching that says The Son of
GOD, as a man existed, as one of three members of
The Godhead before the actual creation of
humanity, this doctrine destroys the whole
doctrine of The Kinsman-Redeemer, because if The
Son of GOD has no connection to humanity, then
how could He be a Kinsman-Redeemer for humanity.
And why would there be a need to redeem man, if
man had not yet sinned, and man was not yet
created?
From The Scriptures, we have understood that GOD
Anointed HIS Son with The Oil of Gladness above
His fellow angels, who were made by Him to be
spirits, and His ministers as a flame of fire. As
He--The Son of GOD is The Express Image of The
Father, in WHOM is no darkness at all, He--The
Son of GOD is God by nature from His Father, WHO
created all things by Him.
It was to The Son of GOD--The Express Image of
The Father, Who was with GOD in all of creation
that The Father said
5
Let us make man in our image, after our
likeness and let them have dominion over the
fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air,
and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and
over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the
earth. So God created man in his own image, in
the image of God created he him male and female
created he them. And God blessed them, and God
said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and
replenish the earth, and subdue it and have
dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the
fowl of the air, and over every living thing that
moveth upon the earth (Genesis 126-28).
6
Notice a most important fact in the creation of
man, in the Image of GOD. As it was presented in
Part 2, The Invisible Things of GOD from the
creation of the world are clearly seen, being
understood by the things that are made, even HIS
Eternal Power and Godhead so that angels and men
are without excuse. GOD made this world and man
to reveal The Truth of HIS Glory.
HE did not make man to be three co-equal partners
to be one, which would fit the image that many
hold, as their foundation of faith. But no, GOD
established the institution of marriage between
one man and one woman, who worked together as
one, to be what GOD had ordained man to be, to
reflect The Oneness of The Image of GOD and HIS
Son, Who work together, as One in the creation of
all things, to have dominion over all things.
Man was given the authority to have dominion over
all the earth, and to be fruitful in bearing
fruit according to GODS Word. And it was to this
objective of revealing The Image of GOD in man
that GOD said
7
Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb
yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding
fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself,
upon the earth and it was so. And the earth
brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed
after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit,
whose seed was in itself, after his kind and
God saw that it was good. And the evening and
the morning were the third day. (Genesis
111-13).
And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of
every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat
But of the tree of the knowledge of good and
evil, thou shalt not eat of it for in the day
that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die
(Genesis 216, 17).
8
Notice that by obedience to The Command of GOD,
to eat not of the fruit of the knowledge of good
and evil, which is of the adversary, man would
have born fruit after GODS Kind, or after HIS
Image--meaning The Likeness of HIS Son, Who is
after HIS Kind, or of HIS divine nature and
character. Man was already clothed in the garment
of The Light of Christ Life in them.
By giving to man dominion over everything upon
the earth, man would more fully reflect GOD, WHO
with HIS Son has dominion over all the universe,
which HE has created by HIS Son--The Word of HIS
Power over all.
It was the objective of the adversary to overcome
man, to reign over man, and work his way to reign
over GOD, by usurping HIS throne. And to begin
his plan of seeking to ascend into heaven, to
exalt his throne above the stars of God, to sit
also upon the mount of the congregation, in the
sides of the north, to ascend above the heights
of the clouds, to be like the most High, he begin
his plan by overcoming Eve with his deception.
For it is written that
9
Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast
of the field which the LORD God had made. And he
said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall
not eat of every tree of the garden? And the
woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the
fruit of the trees of the garden But of the
fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the
garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it,
neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the
serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely
die For God doth know that in the day ye eat
thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye
shall be as gods, knowing good and evil (Genesis
31-5).
10
Notice that it was the adversarys assumption
that he could simple deceive his way into sitting
upon a throne above The Throne of GOD. By
deceiving Eve, a member of Christ body, the
adversary as a cancer cell, sought to take over
the body, one cell at a time and become the brain
of the body, to reign forever over the body. But
all the evidence wherein men and women have
suffered from such a departure from The Law of
Life, the results only ends in death to the whole
body, and The Breath of Life in the body goes
back to GOD, WHO gave The Gift of Life from HIS
Son, Who is The Breath of Life to man.
When both Eve and Adam ate of the fruit of the
adversary, they bore his fruit, to be after his
kind, to be cut off from Life and Light, to be of
death and darkness, wherein a multitude of angels
were already trapped, because of the adversarys
deception over them, and because they knew not
The Word of Truth through him.
With both Adam and Eve cut off from Life and
Light, in death and darkness, they were trapped
by eating of the fruit of the adversary.
11
Godhead Time-Line
GOD The Father is LIGHT in HIM is no darkness at
all. By HIS Son, HE created all things.
By HIS Son, Who is Life and Light, HE made man to
be after HIS Kind, to reflect His Light.
Man was made in the image of God, to reflect The
Word of Life and Light in them.
darkness was upon the face of the deep
The power of death and darkness then spread to
the earth.
12
Notice that GOD is LIGHT and in HIM is no
darkness, or death at all, because HE is ETERNAL
LIFE. And HIS Son--The Word of GOD, Who is The
Power of HIS TONGUE in speaking HIS Words, He
also is Eternal Life, because He is The Express
Image of The Father, because He has inherited all
things from The Father.
By The Son of GOD--HIS Word of Power, GOD formed
man of the dust of the ground, to be a dwelling
place for The Spirit of Life and Light of HIS
Son, to shine and reflect His Glory in them,
which means that man was not created to be of
death and darkness.
But like the multitude of angels, who were
trapped in the power of darkness, which is of the
adversary, who swore not that The LORD lives in
Truth, in Judgment, and in Righteousness and
they--the nations would bless themselves in HIM,
and in Him shall they glory in the same way
that the adversary did not reveal to the angels
The Truth, he did not reveal The Truth of GODS
Word to Eve, who thought that he was a tree to
make one wise. But his words led to them being
cut off from GODS Word of Life and Light, to be
their own Gods, which is not possible.
13
In Part 1 of this study, we read The Testimony of
The Word of Life and Light through Johns witness
of The Word of GOD, when He said to them
I am the true vine, and my Father is the
husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not
fruit he taketh away and every branch that
beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring
forth more fruit. Now ye are clean through the
word which I have spoken unto you. Abide in me,
and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of
itself, except it abide in the vine no more can
ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye
are the branches He that abideth in me, and I
in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit for
without me ye can do nothing (John 151-5).
14
If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a
branch, and is withered and men gather them, and
cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye
shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto
you. Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear
much fruit so shall ye be my disciples. As the
Father hath loved me, so have I loved you
continue ye in my love. If ye keep my
commandments, ye shall abide in my love even as
I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide
in his love (John 156-10).
15
Notice that Christ Jesus--The Word of GOD
revealed that He is The True Vine. He did not
just say He is The Vine, because there is another
vine, which is false, and many have been led to
be trapped in that vine of death and darkness,
because they abide not in The Word of Truth.
We are clean through The word Christ has spoken
unto us, to abide in Him, and He in us. As the
branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it
abide in the vine no more can we, except we
abide in GOD'S Word of Life and Light, because we
have no direct connection to The SOURCE of all
things without HIS Word.
By Adam and Eve not abiding in The Word of Life
and Light they were cut off from their abiding
fellowship with GOD, by The Power of HIS Word,
which is what that adversary did, to believe that
he could become a God, to be self-existent. By
not abiding in GODS Word, they became separated
from their one fellowship with GOD and HIS Son,
in the same way that darkness cannot dwell in the
fellowship with The Light. This is why Adam and
Eve hid themselves from The Presence of God. For
it is written that
16
they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in
the garden in the cool of the day and Adam and
his wife hid themselves from the presence of the
LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. And the
LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him,
Where art thou? And he said, I heard thy voice
in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was
naked and I hid myself. And he said, Who told
thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of
the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou
shouldest not eat? (Genesis 36-8).
17
There are many, who deny The Testimony of Christ,
because His Testimony does not support their
ideas of The Godhead. They are led not to abide
in The Word of GOD, Who came to reveal to us What
He has seen and heard of GOD, to make HIM known
to our understanding.
Christ Jesus--The Word of GOD, Who is The Voice
of GOD to men, He came to The Garden of Eden, to
dwell with Adam and Eve in the cool of the day,
and Adam heard Him coming, and in fear of Him,
Who love them, they hid from His Presence among
the trees. The fruit of sin had taken effect in
the heart of man, and many have been running and
hiding from GOD and HIS Son ever since.
But what many do not know, because of their
darkness of understanding is that GOD knows all
things, and HE and HIS Son can see men in all
that we do, even though we can not see HIM and
HIS Son, Who is Invisible to our sight. Yet, The
Son of GOD has Testified of His Love for us, when
He by The Father made us for His dwelling. He
said
18
The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his
way, before his works of old. I was set up from
everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the
earth was. When there were no depths, I was
brought forth when there were no fountains
abounding with water. Before the mountains were
settled, before the hills was I brought forth
While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the
fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the
world. When he prepared the heavens, I was
there when he set a compass upon the face of the
depth When he established the clouds above when
he strengthened the fountains of the deep
(Proverbs 822-28).
19
When he gave to the sea his decree, that the
waters should not pass his commandment when he
appointed the foundations of the earth Then I
was by him, as one brought up with him and I
was daily his delight, rejoicing always before
him Rejoicing in the habitable part of his
earth and my delights were with the sons of
men. Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye
children for blessed are they that keep my
ways. Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse
it not (Proverbs 829-33).
20
Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching
daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my
doors. For whoso findeth me findeth life, and
shall obtain favour of the LORD. But he that
sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul all
they that hate me love death (Proverbs 834-36).
21
Notice that in The Testimony of Christ Jesus--The
Word of GOD, Who came out of GOD, to be one with
HIM, He has declared what He has Witnessed of The
Father, WHO created all things by Him.
As a child has no recollection of his/her parents
before his/her birth, The Son of GOD reveals that
The Father possessed Him in the beginning of HIS
Way, before HIS works of old. In establishing the
time-line of The Godhead, or when He was setup to
be with The Father, WHO possessed Him, The Son of
GOD made it clear that He was set up by HIS
Father from everlasting, from the beginning, or
before the earth was.
He made it clear that when there were no depths,
He was brought forth, when there were no
fountains abounding with water. Before the
mountains were settled, before the hills was He
brought forth, while as yet, HE had not made the
earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of
the dust of the world. For the highest part of
the dust of the world is not the mountains it is
man, whom GOD made by Him, to be in the image of
God, and have dominion over all the earth.
22
When The Father by Him prepared the heavens, He
was there with The Father, as John has testified
of Him. When The Father set a compass upon the
face of the depth when HE established the clouds
above when HE strengthened the fountains of the
deep. when HE gave to the sea HIS Decree, that
the waters should not pass HIS commandment when
HE appointed the foundations of the earth then
The Son of GOD was by HIM, as one brought up with
HIM. For in and by HIS Word of Power, HE does all
things.
And He--The Son of GOD was daily The Father's
delight, rejoicing always before HIM rejoicing
in the habitable part of HIS earth and The Son
of GOD has declared that His delights were with
the sons of men, in whom He inhibits, to give
Life and Light to the members of His body. For
without Him we can do nothing.
By His Own Testimony of what He has seen of GOD,
WHO worked HIS Will in and through Him, and He
rejoiced to dwell in the habitable part of HIS
earth, which is man, He--The Word of GOD makes
it clear that He is The Spirit, Who gives Life to
man.
23
And since The Son of GOD, Who is The Word of GOD
gives us Life and Light by HIS Power, He says,
Now therefore hearken unto Me,"O ye children
for blessed are they that keep My ways. Hear
instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.
For those, who will hear Him and live by GODS
Word of Life in them, The Word of GOD said,
Blessed is the man that heareth Me, watching
daily at My gates, waiting at the posts of My
doors. For whoso findeth Me findeth Life, and
shall obtain favour of The LORD. But he that
sinneth against Me wrongeth his own soul all
they that hate Me love death.
As The Father speaks to all by HIS Son--The Word
of GOD, by Whom also HE created all things, and
The Word of GOD is shed abroad through those, who
receive Him, to reflect His Glory, as He reflects
The Fathers GLORY through Him those, who hated
Him--GODS Gift of Life, they have wronged their
own souls, to choose death, by sinning against
GODS Gift of Life in them, to seek to exist
without Him, to be their own God.
24
Adam and Eve were led to believe that they would
not die by sinning against GODS Gift of Life, to
be their own Gods, which is what the adversary
also believed, to lead many angels to follow him
in that belief of death, because he did not
appear to die by his sins.
As we have learned from The Word of GOD in Part 2
of this series, GOD did offer the prince of HIS
Word of Power--The Gift of HIS Grace, to repent
and return to the position in which he was
assigned, by putting away his abominations out of
HIS Sight, then he would not have been removed
from the position to which he was assigned. The
LORD spoke by HIS Word saying
25
Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king
of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord
GOD Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and
perfect in beauty. Thou hast been in Eden the
garden of God every precious stone was thy
covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond,
the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the
sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and
gold the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy
pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou
wast created. Thou art the anointed cherub that
covereth and I have set thee so thou wast
upon the holy mountain of God thou hast walked
up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
(Ezekiel 2812-14).
26
Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day
that thou wast created, till iniquity was found
in thee. By the multitude of thy merchandise they
have filled the midst of thee with violence, and
thou hast sinned therefore I will cast thee as
profane out of the mountain of God and I will
destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst
of the stones of fire. Thine heart was lifted up
because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy
wisdom by reason of thy brightness I will cast
thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings,
that they may behold thee. (Ezekiel 2815-17).
27
Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the
multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of
thy traffick therefore will I bring forth a fire
from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and
I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the
sight of all them that behold thee. All they that
know thee among the people shall be astonished at
thee thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt
thou be any more (Ezekiel 2818,19).
28
Notice that GOD revealed by HIS Word that the
adversary did not just sin once, but as it was
revealed of him, iniquity was found in him, by
the multitude of his merchandise, which filled
the midst of him with violence, and he sinned
against GOD and The Son of GOD, to wrong his own
soul, by seeking to be a God.
By thinking that GODS Grace was a license to
sin, in not keeping The Way of The Word of GOD,
because he did not die when he sinned multiple
times the adversary expressed the thoughts to
Eve that she shall not surely die. In a sense, he
was saying, GOD does not mean what HE says by HIS
Word. And by trafficking these thoughts, to the
multitude of angels, he defiled the sanctuaries
of GODS Word with the fruit of his tongue.
By deceiving the multitudes of angels with the
power of his tongue, by speaking against GOD and
HIS Son, the adversary believed that he actually
had the power to be a God, and win multitudes of
angels and man to his side. Had GOD destroyed him
in his first sin against HIM and HIS Son, then
the problem of sin would be greater.
29
With GOD and HIS Son on one side in The Light of
Life, and the adversary and the angels who were
deceived by following him on the other, to be cut
off in darkness of death from GOD, by not
believing The Light of Life in HIS Word, how
could GOD save, the angels, who wanted to repent,
but they were led to believe that GOD is The ONE,
WHO will destroy them, when they were already cut
off from Life and Light by their choice, of
eating of the fruit of death and darkness in
believing the adversary?
It was to reveal The Truth of GOD and HIS Son
that HE by HIS Word made the earth, and man in
HIS OWN Image, to show The Invisible things of
HIM through the creation of the earth and man. No
created being had any knowledge of what death
was, because GOD is LIFE and LIGHT with no death
or darkness in HIM at all.
To be a God in sustaining ones own life apart
from GOD, this cannot be done by created beings,
who seeks to live apart from GOD, without The
Life of GOD abiding in them. And to reveal this
Truth of GOD, HE said, Let there be Light
30
As The Word said of those, who will hear His
Voice, Blessed is the man that heareth me,
watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts
of my doors. For whoso findeth me findeth life,
and shall obtain favour of the LORD. But he that
sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul all
they that hate me love death.
Notice that to love Life, one will also love The
Word of GOD, Who is sent of GOD, to bless all,
who shall obtain The Favor of The LORD, in
receiving The Gift of Life by HIS Word, Who also
said, His delights were with the sons of men. And
we, as children we are to hearken unto Him--The
Word of GOD. For blessed will be all, who will
keep His ways. Hear instruction, and be wise, and
refuse it not.
With Adam and Eve being cut off from GOD, by not
obeying HIS Word of Life, to be blessed of GOD by
HIS Word, they were in death and darkness, and
they hid from The PRESENCE of GOD in HIS Word,
Whom they heard walking in The Garden. GOD sent
HIS Word unto them. For it is written that
31
the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto
him, Where art thou? And he said, I heard thy
voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I
was naked and I hid myself. And he said, Who
told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten
of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou
shouldest not eat? And the man said, The woman
whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of
the tree, and I did eat. And the LORD God said
unto the woman, What is this that thou hast
done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled
me, and I did eat (Genesis 39-13).
32
And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because
thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all
cattle, and above every beast of the field upon
thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat
all the days of thy life And I will put enmity
between thee and the woman, and between thy seed
and her seed it shall bruise thy head, and thou
shalt bruise his heel. Unto the woman he said, I
will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy
conception in sorrow thou shalt bring forth
children and thy desire shall be to thy
husband, and he shall rule over thee (Genesis
314-16).
33
And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast
hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast
eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee,
saying, Thou shalt not eat of it cursed is the
ground for thy sake in sorrow shalt thou eat
of it all the days of thy life Thorns also and
thistles shall it bring forth to thee and thou
shalt eat the herb of the field In the sweat of
thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return
unto the ground for out of it wast thou taken
for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou
return (Genesis 317-19).
34
Notice that when Adam heard The Voice of GODS
Word in The Garden, his sin of eating of the tree
put the fruit of fear in his heart to hide from
The PRESENCE of GOD by HIS Word. The fruit of the
adversary drove Adam and Eve into darkness to
hide from GOD.
But just as GOD by HIS Word created a firmament,
to divide the waters from the waters, which
separated the adversary and his followers from
the followers of GOD and HIS Word GOD put
enmity, or a hatred between the adversary and the
woman, and between his seed of disobedience and
her seed of obedience to HIS Will by HIS Word.
This enmity would reveal that The Seed of the
woman would bruise the adversary's head, and the
adversary would bruise the heel of The Seed of
the woman.
By Adam hearkening unto the voice of the
adversary, who was speaking by his wife, to eat
of the tree of which GOD commanded by HIS Word
not to eat the ground was cursed for his sake.
In sorrow man would eat of the ground all the
days of his life until he returned unto the
ground, out of which he was taken.
35
Like a flower with its stem, which continues to
look full of life, even after it has been cut off
from its source of life in its roots Adam and
Eve was cut off from Eternal Life, and was given
a probationary time to live not to continue
running away from GOD, to hide from HIM, but to
repent and hearken onto The Voice of HIS Word,
and not of the voice of the adversary through
those, whom he continues to lead in darkness by
the power of his tongue of death.
The seed of the adversary are those, who spread
his power of death, by teaching things that are
contrary to The Word of Life and Light. But The
Seed of the woman, is not only The Son of GOD,
Who would become like the flesh of men, but also
all, who receive The Word of GOD in then, that
through them He--The Son of GOD might give them
of His Power, to spread The Light of GODS Glory,
in revealing The Fathers Word of Life through
them. For it is written of Christ by His servant
Paul, who was working for the adversary, before
he saw The Light of GODS Word, to walk in HIS
Light. Paul wrote of Him and said
36
Brethren, I speak after the manner of men
Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it
be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth
thereto. Now to Abraham and his seed were the
promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of
many but as of one, And to thy seed, which is
Christ (Galatians 315, 16).
37
As it is written of Christ and His disciples, who
receive Him, Matthew bore fruit of Him and
testified, saying
Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into
the house and his disciples came unto him,
saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares
of the field. He answered and said unto them, He
that soweth the good seed is the Son of man The
field is the world the good seed are the
children of the kingdom but the tares are the
children of the wicked one The enemy that
sowed them is the devil the harvest is the end
of the world and the reapers are the angels. As
therefore the tares are gathered and burned in
the fire so shall it be in the end of this
world. (Matthew 1336-40).
38
The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and
they shall gather out of his kingdom all things
that offend, and them which do iniquity And
shall cast them into a furnace of fire there
shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then
shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the
kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear,
let him hear (Matthew 1341-43).
39
And John wrote of Christ and His disciples, and
testified, saying
He that committeth sin is of the devil for the
devil sinneth from the beginning. For this
purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he
might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever
is born of God doth not commit sin for his seed
remaineth in him and he cannot sin, because he
is born of God. In this the children of God are
manifest, and the children of the devil
whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God,
neither he that loveth not his brother. For this
is the message that ye heard from the beginning,
that we should love one another (1 John 38-11).
40
Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and
slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him?
Because his own works were evil, and his
brother's righteous. Marvel not, my brethren, if
the world hate you. We know that we have passed
from death unto life, because we love the
brethren. He that loveth not his brother
abideth in death. Whosoever hateth his brother is
a murderer and ye know that no murderer hath
eternal life abiding in him. Hereby perceive we
the love of God, because he laid down his life
for us and we ought to lay down our lives for
the brethren. But whoso hath this world's good,
and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up
his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth
the love of God in him? (1 John 312-17).

Godhead Time-Line
GOD The Father is LIGHT in HIM is no darkness at
all. By HIS Son, HE created all things.
By HIS Son, Who is Life and Light, GOD made man
to be after HIS Kind, to reflect His Light.
Man was made in the image of God, to reflect The
Word of Life and Light in them.
darkness was upon the face of the deep
Sin separated man from abiding in GOD by HIS Word.
42
By eating the forbidden fruit, Adam and
Eve--members of Christ body on earth were cut off
from being the habitable abode of Christ Spirit
of Life and Light. The power of the tongue of the
adversary, brought death to Christ Spirit of Life
and Light abiding in them, to placed Adam and Eve
in the kingdom of death and darkness.
As we have read of Christ Testimony through
Solomon, He said that He was daily The Father's
delight, rejoicing always before HIM rejoicing
in the habitable part of HIS earth, which are the
members of His body, made from the dust of the
ground for His Spirit to dwell in. And His
delights were with the sons of men.
Just as man makes beautiful homes to dwell in
from the materials that come from the earth
Christ formed man from the dust of the ground for
His habitation. It is His indwelling that gives
life to our being, and not we of ourselves. And
because it is He that gives us Life to function,
to do all that we are capable of doing, He said,
"...hearken unto Me, O ye children for blessed
are they that keep My ways. Hear instruction, and
be wise, and refuse it not."
43
By the spread of the lies of the enemy against
GOD and HIS Son--HIS Delight, and the choice of
the adversary, to reveal not The Truth, to swear
that The LORD lives in Truth, in Judgment, and in
Righteousness that the nations should bless
themselves in HIM, and in Him they should glory
he caused death and darkness to come to the
inhabitance of Christ body, His tents, or His
dwelling places, by causing them to rebel against
the indwelling of Christ Spirit in His
habitations, and the highest form of dust, which
is man.
As it was revealed through Jeremiah, by whom The
LORD spoke by HIS Word, Whose abode was in him,
and by The Word, The LORD said by HIS Word, I
am pained at my very heart my heart maketh a
noise in me I cannot hold my peace, because thou
hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet,
the alarm of war. Destruction upon destruction is
cried for the whole land is spoiled suddenly
are my tents spoiled, and my curtains in a
moment.
By causing the inhabitance of Christ Spirit, to
rebel against The Gift of Life in them, to love
death, it is written that
44
Millions upon millions have never so much as
heard of God or of His love revealed in Christ.
It is their right to receive this knowledge. They
have an equal claim with us in the Saviour's
mercy. And it rests with us who have received the
knowledge, with our children to whom we may
impart it, to answer their cry. To every
household and every school, to every parent,
teacher, and child upon whom has shone the light
of the gospel, comes at this crisis the question
put to Esther the queen at that momentous crisis
in Israel's history, "Who knoweth whether thou
art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?"
Esther 414.
45
Those who think of the result of hastening or
hindering the gospel think of it in relation to
themselves and to the world. Few think of its
relation to God. Few give thought to the
suffering that sin has caused our Creator. All
heaven suffered in Christ's agony but that
suffering did not begin or end with His
manifestation in humanity. The cross is a
revelation to our dull senses of the pain that,
from its very inception, sin has brought to the
heart of God. Every departure from the right,
every deed of cruelty, every failure of humanity
to reach His ideal, brings grief to Him.
46
When there came upon Israel the calamities that
were the sure result of separation from
God,--subjugation by their enemies, cruelty, and
death, --it is said that "His soul was grieved
for the misery of Israel." "In all their
affliction He was afflicted . . . and He bare
them, and carried them all the days of old."
Judges 1016 Isaiah 639. His Spirit "maketh
intercession for us with groanings which cannot
be uttered." As the "whole creation groaneth and
travaileth in pain together" (Romans 826, 22),
the heart of the infinite Father is pained in
sympathy. (Education, Page 262, 263)
47
Notice that the suffering of GOD and of Christ in
pain from the results of sin, or the results from
the inhabitance of His Spirit rebelling against
Him--The Gift of Life in them this pain of
rebellion did not begin when Christ manifested
Himself to be one among men in humanity. No, the
pain of millions of angels being led to rebel
against The Gift of Life meant that they were
rejecting The Life and Light of Christ, to choose
death and darkness without Him, as if this choice
was a superior alternative to GODS Word of Life
to them.
The deception of saying to Eve that she shall not
surely die, to become, as Gods was presented to
Eve which led her to believe that he--the serpent
was a tree to make one wise, which was not the
case.
With Adam and Eve joining the rebellion against
GOD by their sin through the adversarys
deception, they became members of the kingdom of
death and darkness, to separate from GOD and HIS
Son, in Whom is no death and darkness at all,
because GOD is LIFE and LIGHT.
48
By being members of death and darkness, which is
not of GOD, this brought pain to The Heart of
GOD, or to HIS Son, Who is HIS Delight. And
Christ delights were with the sons of men, who
were now separated from Him by death and
darkness.
Although we live by GODS Grace of probation, to
repent and choose Life and Light, while we have
this opportunity when our loved ones die, to be
separated from us in death and darkness, it pains
our hearts to loose connection with the ones we
love. It pains our hearts when death and darkness
steals away the joy out of our hearts by loosing
those, whom we love. And for many, that door of
death and darkness has always been a one way
door, with no way for our loved ones to come back
from death and darkness, to Life and Light.
We might think that all we need to do, is just
call out to GOD and HE can just fix the problem,
by restoring our loved ones to life. But what if
those, whom we love do not want to live by GODS
Gift of Life in Christ, Who also suffers the pain
of every loss soul?
49
As it is revealed of GOD that in HIM is no
darkness at all, neither within HIS Son, Who is
The Life and Light of man it pains Him when man
follows the way of darkness that leads to death.
For He said unto the children, to hearken unto
Him. For blessed are those that keep His ways,
and hear His instruction, to be wise, and to
refuse it not.
Blessed will be those that hear GOD'S Word of
Life, watching daily at His gates, waiting at the
posts of His doors. For whoever finds Him, they
have found Life, and will obtain The Favor of The
LORD. But those, who sin, or rebel against Him,
they have wronged their own souls. For all, who
hates GOD'S Word of Life, they by that hatred
love death.
And of those, who love the death and darkness of
sin, The Life and Light of GOD would be unto them
a destroying fire. It was for this reason that
Adam and Eve hid themselves from The Presence of
GOD when HE came unto them by The Voice of HIS
Word.
50
And if The Life and Light of GODS Word is like a
consuming fire, then He cannot just simply reveal
The Glory of His Presence, Which is The Express
Image of The Father, without destroying all, who
continue to love the ways of darkness, to wrong
their own souls unto death. He, Who delighted to
dwell with the sons of men, and feels the pain of
every loss soul, it is not His desire that any
should perish. For it is written and revealed by
Matthew, who testified of GODS Word to say
51
How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep,
and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave
the ninety and nine, and goeth into the
mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?
And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto
you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of
the ninety and nine which went not astray. Even
so it is not the will of your Father which is in
heaven, that one of these little ones should
perish (Matthew 1812-14).
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as
some men count slackness but is longsuffering to
us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but
that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 39).
52
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in
the night in the which the heavens shall pass
away with a great noise, and the elements shall
melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the
works that are therein shall be burned up.
Seeing then that all these things shall be
dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to
be in all holy conversation and godliness,
Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the
day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire
shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt
with fervent heat? (2 Peter 310-12)
53
Notice that it is not the will of GOD--The
Father, or of HIS Son that one soul should be
loss, but that all, who have gone astray from The
Word of Life, to repent and return unto GOD by
HIS Word, Whom HE has sent. For to perish is to
be in the condition of being cut off and
separated from The Gift of Life and Light to man.
And if the hearts of men and women are in the
grip of death and darkness, how could GOD and HIS
Son save man from the condition of darkness and
death, without destroying man by The Light of HIS
Glory? It well be to answer this question, as we
continue to study this topic of The Godhead
Time-line in Part 4.
