Genesis One
Chapter One
We are going to look at Genesis One with the help of The Book of Enoch, Book of Jubilees, The works of Edgar Casey and Dr Mike Hieser. A little from the Book of Jasher, and modern physics. The results well astound you.
Genesis 1-1, In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. What an iconic sentence. The most iconic in the Bible, except for maybe John 3.16. The problem is, it is not right.
Let us take a look at Genesis1 and expand your knowledge of what happened and relate it to modern physics. It is much more closely aligned than you think
The statement In the beginning is not correct. Some versions of the say “When God began creating the heavens and the earth”. This is because of the way they emphasised letters. Strict Hebrew interoperates it this way. The people who interoperated the meaning. They thought it meant the beginning of everything because it made sense to them. In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth to make a start date, which is like the big bang. Physicists have now shown that there is no big bang, the bible need as to reflect this as well. God started to create the heavens and the earth is not the beginning of all things but only the beginning of the heavens and earth.
The first heaven
The Hebrew word used for earth "haares", is translated as "earth" or "land," indeed refers to the soil or ground, not the planet as a whole. This atomic realm, while invisible to the naked eye, can be perceived through various wavelengths of light, revealing its intricate structure and composition. The concept of heavens in biblical texts is plural, with the apostle Paul explicitly mentioning at least three heavens (2 Corinthians 12:2). A deeper exploration of these realms unveils a complex and fascinating tapestry of spiritual and physical dimensions.
The First Heaven: Sheol
The first heaven, known as Sheol, is a multifaceted realm comprising five distinct parts, each serving a unique purpose in the divine economy.
1. The Grave: This is the initial layer of Sheol, situated just below the surface of the soil. It is here that souls, having departed from their earthly bodies, find temporary residence. This realm is not one of punishment or reward but rather a place of waiting and rest, as depicted in Psalm 6:5, "For in death there is no remembrance of You; in the grave, who will give You thanks?"
2. The Unpassable Barrier: At approximately 50 kilometres beneath the Earth's surface, the molten rock layer known as the asthenosphere serves as an unpassable barrier, separating the upper layers of Sheol from the deeper realms below. This geological feature may correspond to the barrier mentioned in Job 7:9, "As a cloud fades and vanishes, so he who goes down to the grave (Sheol) does not rise."
3. Hades: The largest region of Sheol, named after its ruler, Hades, is the destination for the majority of unsaved souls. This realm, while not pleasant, is not characterised by the extreme torment often associated with it. Rather, it is a place of conscious punishment, as described in Luke 16:23-24, where the rich man in Hades is fully aware of his surroundings and the consequences of his earthly life.
4. Death/Azazel: This realm, also named after its ruler, is a place of harsher punishment, reserved for those who have committed more severe sins against the spirit, soul, and salvation. The punishment here is far more intense than that experienced in Hades, reflecting the gravity of the transgressions committed. This is the fate of those who, like Pope Francis and the last dozen Archbishops of Canterbury, have turned away from the truth and led others astray (2 Peter 2:1-3).
5. The Abyss/Bottomless Pit: The deepest and most terrifying region of Sheol, the Abyss or bottomless pit, is a place where fallen angels are bound, awaiting their final judgment. This realm is ruled by Abaddon (Apollyon in Greek), also known by his original name, Asbeel.
The giants who died before and during the flood became demons and roamed the earth. After man started to settle the earth there became conflict with these demons and 90% were cast into the abyss with their fathers. In physics, the only place where a bottomless pit can exist is at the centre of the Earth, where the density of matter becomes infinite, and the laws of physics as we know them cease to apply.
In conclusion, the realm of Sheol and the plurality of heavens are complex and multifaceted, revealing a rich tapestry of spiritual and physical dimensions that defy our limited human understanding. As we explore these realms, we gain a deeper appreciation for the vastness and intricacy of God's creation and the eternal consequences of our choices.
The second heaven
This is the spiritual realm that surrounds us. How closely it is connected to the atomic realm is a mystery. If the beings that exist in this world are walking around on the ground around us they are being affected by gravity. So we are starting to get very close to the human existence. There are also the reports from the Vietnam War when they introduced night vision glasses. The first glasses used the red spectrum into the infrared. People testing them were complaining about seeing things moving around them. Then when a group of helicopters went on a night mission, one of the gunners started firing wildly and damaged another chopper. When they got back to base, the gunner said he saw movement through the glasses. When he looked closer, he saw it was a gargoyle like creature flying beside them. Suddenly, the creature noticed it had been seen and came at the gunner. That was the reason he was firing. They quickly changed the colour of these glasses to green. Infrared is a small wave length at the edge of what we can see. This suggests that the creatures of this realm have a must more spread out atomic structure. Affected by gravity, and be seen in electromagnetic wave lengths at a range slightly below white light. They are spread out enough so they can enter into us if we create a situation that enables it.
Who lives in this realm. There are ones we know, like the spirits of greed and lust etc. The seven deadly sins. These are the wicked spirits that get mentioned in the bible. A wicked spirit was sent to the prophets of Ahab to deceive him. 1 king 22 22-23. They come with different levels of authority and power. Jesus said this type of spirit needs pray and fasting to be removed. Mark 9 29. Spirits can enter our world and even inhabit human bodies under certain conditions. The Bible describes this as demon possession (Matthew 8:28-34, Mark 5:1-20, Luke 8:26-39). There are demons that came from the giants that were the children of the watchers. Their capabilities are not fully revealed in Scripture, but they are often associated with destruction and chaos. They killed each other or died in the flood. There were 70 of the original Cherubim that were given the nations to rule over. (Deuteronomy 32:8-9, Ezekiel 28:14). This number grew over the centuries to around 100. There are a number of angels that serve these cherubim, who are also attached to areas.(Ezekiel 10:1-22). Satan was cast down to the earth with his 300 cherubim. They seem to be restricted to the world of white light but could easily be part of the second heaven.
The Third Heaven
This is the place spoken of by Paul as the third heaven. 2 Cor 12, I must go on boasting. Though there is nothing to be gained by it, I will go on to visions and revelations of the Lord. 2I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows. And I know that this man was caught up into paradise—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows— and he heard things that cannot be told, which man may not utter. On behalf of this man I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except of my weaknesses— though if I should wish to boast, I would not be a fool, for I would be speaking the truth; but I refrain from it, so that no one may think more of me than he sees in me or hears from me.
Paul is clearly talking about himself. In Paradise, many of the great secrets will be known. The Third Heaven is not a static realm where souls simply exist in a state of bliss. Rather, it is a place of ongoing growth and transformation. This is evident in Paul's statement that, regardless of one's age at death, all will enter their eternal age of being (2 Corinthians 5:8). This eternal age is not a mere continuation of one's earthly age, but a state of perfected, glorified existence (Philippians 3:21). Imagine, as Paul suggests, being 30 years old with all physical faults removed—this is the nature of life in the Third Heaven.
In the Jewish tradition, the concept of Gan Eden, or the Garden of Eden, predates Christianity. This paradise, where Adam and Eve first dwelled, is often understood as a place of perfect harmony with God and nature. The Talmud describes Gan Eden as a place of growth and learning, where the righteous engage in study and contemplation.
The Third Heaven was not merely a concept that emerged with Christianity. Traces of this celestial realm can be found in the beliefs and practices of early human cultures. For example, the ancient Chinese believed in the concept of "Shen" or "spirit," which could ascend to the heavens after death. Similarly, many indigenous cultures around the world hold beliefs in spirit realms where the deceased continue to exist and interact with the living, albeit in limited ways.
We will come back to the third heaven and the way it was intertwined with early men before Jesus.
The Earth
The earth/soil or the atomic real, the realm of man. The realm we see is what white light will reflect off. Modern scientism would have us believe that is all there is to existence. It is quite ridiculous to think that is all there is. What we can see at this every limit wave length is not all there is.
1-2 The earth (soil, not the planet)was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
The soil or atomic matter was without form. Everything was just drifting about with no structure. No planets, suns, comets, nothing. It was also void or having no life. There was darkness over the face of the deep. This place of drifting matter is called the deep, and the sun was not putting out light. The spirit of God was hovering over this place called the deep and now called the waters. This is often thought of as the planet, seas and the sun, but it is not. The Holy Spirit is making all these things in this time period.
What was going on in this time period. There is some information from other sources. We will talk about the firmament in chapter two. The firmament is this barrier, the other side of which the father, the ancient of days, calls home. Jesus Jehovah was born out there and so was the Holy Spirit. The book of Enoch tells us his name is Kasbeel. The controller of the oath or word. These all come from outside the firmament.
All other beings, were created inside the firmament in an area called the great deep. At first there were five cherubim Jeqon, Asbeel/Abaddon, Gadreel/Satan, Panemue, and Kasdeja/Asthar, named in the Book of Enoch. They joined the Holy Spirit/Kasbeel and Son of Man/Jesus/Jehovah to make up the Devine Counsel, of Psalm 82.
From there all angels were made. There are three basic types of angels. The cherubim and seraphim, which are the cosmic angels. Ophannim angels whose leaders are the Arch Angels and are closely tied to Jesus.
The cherubim worked with the Holy Spirit in creating everything. Making the moon and placing it at the correct position between the sun and earth so it covered the sun in an eclipse. They were gloriously beautiful with Satan/Gardeel being the best. This led to his downfall. They first rebelled before man came onto the scene. There are either one thousand or ten thousand of these angels but most likely only one thousand.
We know every little said about seraphim. They seem to have a very close relationship with the Father. They appear to be an administration angel. The keepers of historical records. The books of life and the Akashic records. They may have a closer relationship with us than we could imagine. They are taking down the very intimate details of your life and from time to time reach out and give you a hand. If there is an angel who play the role of a guardian angel, it is the seraphim.
They lived in a great spiritual city, and the name of that city is called Atlantis. In this city rebellions started and conflicts took place long before man appeared. How long ago is unknown. There are some elements that are highly active. As a result they lose electrons over time. By testing these elements we can tell how old a thing is. Carbon 14 is one of these elements used for carbon dating. You can also estimate how old carbon 14 is, and you can do the same test on uranium. A test shows these are 20,000 years old. That is up until today. We will cover this more in future chapters.
