'Chronological Bible history' – Part One

Before the Beginning:

First, there is God. His name is 'Jehovah', and 'Yahweh', the I AM, for God is.

God's habitat is 'Infinity', which, to the natural man is invisible, and not detectable by any means which natural science or finite man possesses, or could ever devise.

Infinity is for ever. It has no beginning, and will not end, for it is eternal. Therefore, because Infinity is eternal, there is no element of 'time' within it. It always 'is'.

However, in Infinity, 'is' is not our 'is', for when our 'is' has past, even for the smallest fragment of a second, it is history, and cannot come again. Infinity's 'is' is 'for ever', and there is no 'history' or 'future', as we know it, for 'history' and 'future' refer to a passage of some degree of time, and only exist in the realm of 'time', which is only found within the natural scientific universe itself. The inhabitants of Infinity are free to move without the limitation of 'time'.

Therefore, Infinity is a realm where there is no element of time, as we of the earth know it.

The only spiritual beings that cannot move freely as those in Infinity are the fallen angels, which are confined to the 'air', which is basically the atmosphere of the earth, to which place they were exiled. And their leader is Lucifer, which is called 'Satan', and 'the devil'.

And the devil, Satan, is 'the prince of the power of the air' (Ephesians 2:2); and Jesus said, 'I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.'; Luke 10:18.

The natural mind cannot know the things of Infinity, except that God enables us to 'understand' that those things do exist, though they be far above  our perception in detail. How do we undertand?
Hebrews 11:3: 'Through faith we understand that...'

In Infinity, distance, or 'dimension', is not a consideration, for it is irrelevant, seeing that God is ever present in every place.

One scientist, Doctor Hugh B. Ross, who is a Christian, whom I so highly respect in his scientific investigatory efforts into the invisible and undetectable (by natural means of finite man), the spiritual, Infinity, in attempting to assign a 'dimension' number to Infinity, was baffled that one could not actually be assigned. The best 'number' he could determine, (by what he may make an educated guess) was the 'eighth' dimension, as I last heard on his program.

It is a spiritual realm, my dear brother Ross; and it can neither be explained nor determined by using any 'natural' scientific terms within, or regarding to, any degree of the knowledge which is available to man at all, for it is 'Infinite'.

'Infinite Science' is the set of spiritual principles which governs Infinity, which were determined by God Himself, as He did also the lower science which God created for the universe, which we know as 'natural science', and all things which were created by God.

'Natural science' is the science which is only applicable to the physical universe.

Infinite Science can (and does) override any, some, or all, of natural science, as it may become necessary for the purpose of God in all things, both spiritual, and natural.

The universe is saturated by Infinity, yet we are unable to know it by any means which the natural man possesses, or shall ever possess as natural finite or carnal man; though some have made their 'guess' as to the possibility of the existence of Infinity, and have tagged it to be an 'intersecting universe'. (Job 9:11)

The universe was created by God within Infinity, before time existed; therefore, Infinity, not being a 'universe', but a sphere of Science which is beyond man's combined comprehension, even with all of the combined wisdom and knowledge of the finite mind of man throughout all ages of mankind: therefore, man, in our natural mind, cannot determine anything regarding Infinity.

If it were simply written in a book, all of the greatest and most knowledgeable men in every discipline of natural science combined still could not comprehend it. It is the science of the spiritual, which only a limited few are made privvy.
(John 16:12-13; I Corinthians 2:14; Acts 2:38-39; Acts 19:43-48; Acts 19:1-7)

However, there are visible indications, and phrases and verses in the Christian Bible which specifically draw our attention to the probability of its existence, for Infinity (the spiritual realm) is continually all around us; for we cannot escape its effect in a multitude of unexplainable incidents and scenarios..

There is no factor of time in that region of Infinity, because it is eternal. And the natural mind of man will never be able to comprehend it, neither can we explain it in much concise detail, excepting the fact that God reveals it to some who have chosen Him, for He has chosen us in Him.

Then how do we know it's there?

God will not leave the earnest searching of the heart and mind of man, whom He created, to be forever in the dark about its existence; therefore He has made a way whereby He may reveal it to those who will recognize His existence, by the 'word of truth', the Christian Bible (most clearly and concisely revealed in the KJV by the Spirit of truth, which must be received after being saved, redeemed from our past sins, and forgiven, then becoming a son of Jehovah God, of the family of God my eternal heavenly Father), and by that 'window' which man is permitted by God to see into the things of Infinity is within His 'word of truth', whom God shall qualify to do so, even that 'window of faith'.

In the following passage of scripture is the key to 'seeing' through that 'window', and being prepared to 'know' that Infinity is, and that by its being there, with God (Jehovah, Yahweh, the I AM, the Lord is His name), by Him, and with 'things' from that Region of Infinity, came the universe

Hebrews 11:3: The first four words of this scripture define that 'window', by which we understand:

“Through faith we understand that the worlds (universe) were framed by the Word of God, so that the things which are seen (things natural, things of the universe) were not made of things which do appear (invisible things, things of Infinity, of the spiritual nature).”

Why did God make the universe?

The answer is not, 'Because He was bored.'. Neither is it, 'He had nothing else to do.'

The universe was made for only 'temporary' use of God, for a span of time He determined, so that the earth would be the environment of man, whom God would make, for one purose, that man on the earth might become the eternal family of God, upon whom He may bestow His great love, and those whom He would select would be those of us who believe in Jesus to the saving of our sinful souls.
(Matthew 24:35; Revelation 20:11; II Peter 3:10-13)

And after this universe is passed away, and all the judgments of the wicked and the righteous is complete, all will go to their eternal abode. And God will make a new eternal heaven and earth wherein dwelleth righteousness, where there will be peace, and joy, and love, that will never end, for those of us who did believe in the only begotten Son of God Jehovah, the only righteous God, for our flesh will have been changed to be like Jesus; and there, there will be no sadness, or crying, or former things, for they will have all passed away, and no more remembrance of them shall ever be.

(II Peter 3:13; Revelation 21:1-7; I John 3:1-3; I Corinthians 15:51-54;

II Thessalonians 4:13-18)

Then there will be no more 'natural universe', or any thing 'natural'. All things will be converted to eternal, everlasting, and can never be destroyed or annihilated, for ever.

Yes, Jesus has always been the remedy for the sin of man, from before the beginning; for God fully realized that man would introduce sin into the world; therefore, in God's plan in His mind, Jesus Christ, the 'Lamb of God' was the slain Sacrifice for the sins of man, even before 'In the beginning'.

(John 1:29; I Peter 1:18-21)

Then the natural universe, the earth and heaven that now exist, will pass away, for the eternal family of God will be complete. (Revelation 20:11; II Peter 3:10-13; Matthew 24:35)

The history of God's purpose and principles, and His multi-thousand year development for the benefit of the doubting mind of the natural man, of His great and ultimate plan for mankind, are, in chronological sequence, as follows:

Genesis 1:1: God (the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost) creates the universe:

God prepares the earth to be the environment of man, whom God will make:

God institutes time to rule the universe:

A word on the 'science' of possibly many trillions of years (or even 'eons') of earth's formation:

God created the heaven and the earth within the sphere of Infinity, where time, distance, or space was not a factor in the creation; therefore, we cannot specifically say how much time would naturally have elapsed in the scientific development of all the things, in their proper order, and with the scientific processes which had to take place, for God designed and developed its formation to its completion more or less in an event, rather than in even an instant of time, which did not exist in the creation of all things which were made. He commanded it, and it was done ('appeared'), without hesitation. And the account of creation records events, of the specific determinations and the operations of God, in 'days'; probably so that it would be easier for man to relate to the symbolism of 'days', which would also be a point of prophecy regarding times, which details are thoroughly discussed in another writing on those related topics.

'Space', in its volume, became a factor only in the universe, and the universe became, essentially, 'time in a bottle'.

Who knows all of the various 'ages' of 'natural scientific' development which would have had to become incorporated in that response of Creation to God's command?

Though 'natural science' determinations have come to a conclusion, that the universe is approximately eleven billion years old, and the earth itself about four and one-half billion years old, I personally would assign to the age of the universe as possibly trillions of eons, in a dignified and nominal guess, because of my natural mind of finite man, with relevance to my knowledge in natural scientific reasoning.

Science has merely investigated the 'surface', and come up with a 'guess' by 'surface observance' in all of their geological investigations, as to the age(s) of the universe; however, there are innumerable thousands of billions of light years of space in all directions; and that, I am quite sure, may be but a moderate estimate on my part, for none have discovered the outer boundaries of space, and I believe man never will, for it may, at some point distant from our 'Milky Way' galaxy, begin to make transition to its Infinite 'kin', until, in some region of the existence of the two sciences (natural and Infinite), it literally, and gradually, becomes 'Infinite'.

And I would also consider that the earth was made at the same time that all the rest of the universe came to be, at God's command in the beginning, because the earth was not an 'afterthought', but the main reason that the universe is even here.

So, what was next?

After the heaven (space, with all its space bodies, stars, black holes, galaxies, both moving and still objects of the universal space) and earth were in place, there had to be some adjustments made to the surface of the earth, for it was covered with water (not ice, for there was, at first, no heat, no cold, no light; but only darkness), and there was no dry land above the water which was upon the earth.

Therefore, the Spirit placed the excess water from the earth into orbit just outside the necessary atmosphere of the earth, so that the earth was made a 'terrarium'.

And the harmful rays and protons from the sun were filtered out by that globe of water, which was in orbit around the earth, and deterioration was then less effective on plants, animals, and mankind.

God continued to create the environment in which the man He would make should live, and those things were 'processes', or 'works' which God performed to the point that it was all prepared for man.

And in the 'book of Moses', the 'pentateuch', which contains the first five 'books' of the Christian Bible, God divided each 'process' into a 'period' to which He referred as 'days', so that man could more readily relate to the 'works' of God in preparation andr the completion of His work, which was the making of the man on the 'sixth day', for whom all of the natural universe was constructed and completed.

And God planted a garden eastward in Eden (geographically, in Mesopotamia of North Africa).

'And on the 'sixth day', God said, 'Let US make man in OUR image, after OUR likeness.'

(Genesis 1:26-27)

And God placed the man, Adam, in the garden He had planted, and He gave the man charge, and authority, over all the earth, and everything in and upon the earth.

Then God made the woman, Eve, who was taken out of Adam's flesh and bone, and married them, as the scripture says:

Genesis 1:28:
“And God blessed (married) them, thus establishing the precise pattern of marriage, 'between a man and a woman'; and God said unto them, 'Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish (make full) the earth (with generations of mankind).'.”

And in all logic and sensible reasoning, a 'man and woman' marriage is the only way a marriage can 'be fruitful and multiply'. And that's true and practical reality, which cannot be successfully debated in any other pattern which man shall devise. For the productive act of marriage is clearly defined in this setting.

Also, 'marry' means to plant the 'seed' of man in a woman for the production of an offspring:
Genesis 38:8: 'And Judah said unto Onan, 'Go in unto thy (dead) brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.'

It was a Jewish custom for every man who was married to raise up seed in his own name. And should a man die before leaving seed, his next brother of lesser age was to go in to the widow, and marry her ('know' her, put his seed in her), and raise up seed to his brother's name.

So Adam and Eve were husband and wife.And from those, the married man and woman, came all the generations of the earth, as God planned.

Any sexual involvement other than to produce the fruit of the womb, that is, in various sexual imaginations of mankind are an abomination to God, and are indeed sin.

(See Leviticus chapters 18-20).

So then, this is the general outline of some of the things regarding Infinite and natural science, God's purpose for making the universe, with some priciples of God to explain the foregoing accounts.
