PREFACE 3

THE BOOK OF JOB OPENS THE WINDOW TO REVEAL THE MYSTERY OF GOD. YET STILL, “ THRU A GLASS DARKLY, WE KNEW IN PART,” (1 COR 13:12). THE BOOK OPENS WITH AN INTRODUCTION OF THIS VENERABLE PERSONAGE OF THE EAST. 1 “THERE WAS A MAN IN THE LAND OF UZ, WHOSE NAME WAS JOB; AND THAT MAN WAS PERFECT, AND UPRIGHT, AND ONE THAT FEARED GOD, AND ESCHEWED EVIL. A MAN OF WEALTH, HIGH AUTHORITY, AND SUBSTANCE, HE WAS DESCRIBED IN VERSE 3a: “SO THAT THIS MAN WAS THE GREATEST OF AL THE MEN IN THE EAST,” (Book of Job 1:13a).

THE LORD GOD REGARDED HIM HIGHLY: VERSE 8 “ AND THE LORD SAID UNTO SATAN, “HAST THOU CONSIDERED MY SERVANT JOB, THAT THERE IS NONE LIKE HIM IN THE EARTH, A PERFECT AND AN UPRIGHT MAN, ONE THAT FEARETH GOD, AND ESCHEWETH EVIL?”

JOB WAS AFFLICTED BY SATAN, THE DEVIL, AS GOD ALLOWED, TO PUT HIM TO THE ULTIMATE TEST. IN THE MIDST OF UNBEARABLE BODILY PAINS, SORES, TERRIBLE ACHES, HIS THREE FRIENDS CAME. THEY SAW HIS HORRIBLE AGONY. HIS ANGST. THIS GAVE THE OCCASION TO BLAME AND REBUKE JOB FOR HIS TROUBLES. IN THE PROCESS, THEY PROCEEDED THRU MORE THAN THIRTY CHAPTERS OF DISCOURSE FORCEFULLY DISCUSSED THEIR PRESUMED KNOWLEDGE OF GOD.

4

TRYING TO DECIPHER ALL THESE WRITTEN SAYINGS BECAME THE CENTERPIECE AND CHALLENGE OF DEBATES FOR CENTURIES. FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS, SERIOUS STUDENTS OF THE HOLY SCRIPTURES TRIED TO FATHOM THE MEANING OF THE BOOK OF JOB. THEY SEARCHED FOR UNDERSTANDING OF GOD FROM THIS ANCIENT BOOK. THIS TRIBUTE TO THE MOST HIGH GOD DRAWS FROM THIS ANCIENT BOOK TO MAKE MORTALS UNDERSTAND, IN PART, THE DEEP THINGS OF GOD, QUITE APART FROM THE OBVIOUS LESSON OF THE REPENTED SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS IN THE RIGHTEOUS JOB, THREE CHARACTERS ARE NAMED: ELIPHAZ THE TEMANITE; BILDAD THE SHUHITE, AND ZOPHAR THE NAAMATHITE. THE THREE FRIENDS OF THE PATRIARCH JOB REPRESENT THE PEOPLE WITH WORLDLY WISDOM, OR THE PERSONIFICATION OF THE PUSHY, POMPOUS, PRESUMPTUOUS, ARROGANT, VAIN, KNOW-IT-ALL WISDOM OF THIS WORLD. THE PHILOSOPHERS. THE SCIENTISTS. THE RELIGIOUS. THE THEOLOGIANS. THEIR WORLDLY-WISE DISCOURSE, MASKED BY QUASI-RELIGIOUS PRESENTATIONS USING GOD’S NAME, CONTINUES TO BE DISCUSSED AS THEY HAD BEEN FOR CENTURIES BY THE SAME TYPE AND MIND-SET OF THEOLOGIANS, SCHOLARS, AND STUDENTS, OF THE HOLY SCRIPTURES, THE HOLY BIBLE, ALIKE. OF THEM, JOB HAD THIS TO SAY: 1 AND JOB ANSWERED AND SAID. 2 “NO DOUBT, BUT YE ARE THE PEOPLE, AND WISDOM SHALL DIE WITH YOU,” (BOOK OF JOB 12:1-2). THE FOURTH CHARACTER - THE YOUNG ELIHU, FOR ALL HIS BRAZEN YOUTH AND STUDIOUS, KNOWLEDGEABLE-SOUNDING, ZEALOUS SINCERITY, ELICITS ADMIRATION. HE TOOK THE POSITION OF THE SPOKESMAN FOR GOD IN THAT OCCASION AND DISCOURSE. HE MADE

5

A SERIOUS ATTEMPT TO DO SO, AND WAS QUITE SELF-POSSESSED AND CONFIDENT OF HIS ABILITY TO DO SO. THEN THE VOICE OF HEARD OUT OF THE WHIRLWIND:

THE LORD WAS

‘WHO IS THIS THAT DARKENETH COUNSEL BY WORDS WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE,” (JOB 38:1-2).

W

HO WILL THEN SPEAK FOR THE LORD GOD? WHO WILL REVEAL HIM TO MORTALS, FLESH AND BLOOD, BORN OF WOMEN? IN ORDER FOR THEM TO KNOW HIM, WORSHIP HIM IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH, (JN 4:23). TWENTY CENTURIES HAS PASSED SINCE THE HUMAN RACE HAS HEARD THE VOICE OF ONE WHO SAID: “37 “AND THE FATHER HIMSELF WHICH HATH SENT ME. HATH BORNE WITNESS OF ME, YE HAVE NEITHER HEARD HIS VOICE AT . ANY TIME. NOR SEEN HIS SHAPE,” (JN 5:37) THE REVEALED SCRIPTURES SAYS OF HIM: “IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD. AND THE WORD WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD,” (JOHN 1:1). HE SAID OF HIMSELF: 13“AND NO MAN HATH ASCENDED UP TO HEAVEN, BUT HE THAT CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN, EVEN THE SON OF MAN WHICH IS IN HEAVEN.” (JN 3;13). 6

45 “IT IS WRITTEN IN THE PROPHETS, ‘AND THEY SHALL ALL BE TAUGHT OF GOD. EVERY MAN THEREFORE THAT HATH HEARD, AND HATH LEARNED OF THE FATHER COMETH UNTO ME. 46 NOT THAT ANY MAN HATH SEEN THE FATHER, SAVE HE WHICH IS OF GOD, HE HATH SEEN THE FATHER,”(JN 6:45-46). AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, “YE ARE FROM BENEATH, I AM FROM ABOVE, YE ARE OF THIS WORLD, I AM NOT OF THIS WORLD,” (JN 8:23). I AND MY FATHER ARE ONE,” (JN 10:30). YOU DO NOT KNOW HIM. (symbolizing the world’s leaders, theologians, scholars, however sincere they could and may be. They assume they know Him, and thereby, claim to speak for Him, or define Him). JESUS, THE CHRIST OF GOD, KNOW HIM: 22 “ALL THINGS ARE DELIVERED TO ME OF MY FATHER, AND NO MAN KNOWS WHO THE SON IS, BUT THE FATHER, AND WHO THE FATHER IS BUT THE SON, AND HE TO WHOM THE SON WILL REVEAL HIM. 23 AND HE TURNED HIM UNTO HIS DISCIPLES, AND SAID PRIVATELY, “BLESSED ARE THE EYES WHICH SEE THE THINGS THAT YOU SEE: 24 FOR I TELL YOU, THAT MANY PROPHETS AND KINGS HAVE DESIRED TO SEE THOSE THINGS WHICH YE SEE, AND HAVE NOT SEEN THEM; AND TO HEAR THOSE THINGS WHICH YE HEAR, AND HAVE NOT HEARD THEM,” (GOSPEL BOOK OF MATTHEW 10:22-24). HE IS THE WORD,(THE LOGOS(Strong’s # 3056), THE SPOKESMAN) WHO SPEAKS FOR THE HOLY FATHER: 1 ‘GOD, WHO AT SUNDRY TIMES AND IN DIVERS MANNERS SPAKE IN TIME PAST, UNTO THE FATHERS BY THE PROPHETS, 2 HATH IN THESE LAST DAYS SPOKEN UNTO US BY HIS SON, WHOM HE HATH APPOINTED HEIR OF ALL THINGS, BY WHOM ALSO HE MADE THE WORLDS,

7

3 WHO BEING THE BRIGHTNESS OF HIS GLORY, AND THE EXPRESS IMAGE OF HIS PERSON, AND UPHOLDING 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 HAND. TO NO OTHER, THEN, WAS THE AUTHORITY GIVEN TO SPEAK FOR THE FATHER TO REVEAL HIM TO MORTALS: 4 BEING MADE SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE ANGELS, AS HE HATH BY INHERITANCE OBTAINED A MORE EXCELLENT NAME THAN THEY. 5 FOR UNTO WHICH OF THE ANGELS SAID HE AT ANY TIME, “THOU ART MY SON, THIS DAY HAVE I BEGOTTEN THEE? AND AGAIN, “I WILL BE TO HIM A FATHER, AND HE SHALL BE TO ME A SON? 6 AND AGAIN, WHEN HE BRINGETH IN THE FIRST BEGOTTEN INTO THE WORLD,HE SAITH, “AND LET ALL THE ANGELS OF GOD WORSHIP HIM.” 7 AND OF THE ANGELS HE SAITH: “WHO MAKETH HIS ANGELS SPIRITS, AND HIS MINISTERS A FLAME OF FIRE.” 8 BUT UNTO THE SON HE SAITH, “THY THRONE, O GOD, IS FOR EVER AND EVER: A SCEPTRE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS IS THE SCEPTRE OF THY KINGDOM. 9 THOU HAST LOVED RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND HATED INIQUITY, THEREFORE GOD, EVEN THY GOD, HATH ANOINTED THEE WITH THE OIL OF GLADNESS ABOVE THY FELLOWS. 10 AND THOU, LORD, IN THE BEGINNING HAST LAID THE FOUNDATION OF THE EARTH, AND THE HEAVENS ARE THE WORK OF THY HANDS. 11 THEY SHALL PERISH BUT THOU REMAINEST: AND THEY SHALL WAX OLD AS A GARMENT. 12 AND AS A VESTURE SHALT THOU FOLD THEM UP, AND THEY SHALL BE CHANGED: BUT THOU ART THE SAME, AND THY YEARS SHALL NOT FAIL,” (HEBREWS 1:1-12). AS YOU READ THE TRIBUTE IN ITS ENTIRETY, AS REVEALED THRU THE “WORD, WHICH ARE SPIRIT, AND ARE LIFE,” YOU WILL THEN EXCLAIM, AS THE ENLIGHTENED PATRIARCH JOB:

8

“ I HAVE HEARD OF THEE BY THE HEARING OF THE EAR , BUT NOW MY EYE SEETH THEE!,” (JOB 42:5).

TRIBUTE TO

THE MOST HIGH GOD ************ (

L i s t e n ,

M o r t a l s …

Come at attention. We are coming to the portal of unapproachable light where the Supreme God of Heaven dwells. Take off your shoes. And tread slowly. You are come to the abode of the Divine Ruler of Heaven, the heaven of heavens, the universe,

and the Earth. You are 10

come before the Very Presence of The Most High God. You are come to render your tribute to The Lord God, (Luke 1:32).

Take off your mortal shod of mind which “think that the Lord God exists.” He exists not. He created existence. He exists NOT in what He created. Existence is the matrix within the fabric of time and the webbing in a continuum of space. Both are finite. They seem imaginary, for they are 11

both invisible, yet evident by experience and senses. They seem abstract and yet bare evidence in their passage, intertwined. Time over and in space. And space over, and in time. 3 “Praise Him, sun and moon, praise Him, all ye stars of light. 4 Praise Him, ye heaven of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens. 5 Let them praise the Name of the LORD for He commanded and they were created,” (Book of Psalms 148:3-5).

11 “Thou art worthy O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power, for thou hast created *all things, and for thy pleasure they were created,” (Book of Revelation 4:11) *all includes time, and space, and existence. 12

The whole, vast, expanding universe exists. Time and space exists. All the physical, material elements inside of space and time in the universe exist. The earth exists. All that are thereon and therein and above the earth exists. All living creatures on earth exists. THEY EXISTS BECAUSE GOD CAUSED THEM TO EXIST BY HIS WILL AND BY HIS COMMAND, THEY CAME TO BE. 1 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by Him, and without Him was not anthing made that was made,” (Gospel Book of John 1:1-3). 13

Finite mortal human beings, with their finite, limited minds, try to define GOD. SO THE WORLD’S INVENTORY OF PUBLICATIONS HAVE MILLIONS OF WORDS DEFINING GOD. AND THEY CONCLUDE, WITH THEIR PROOFS, THAT GOD EXISTS. OR WITH THEIR OTHER CONTRADICTING PROOFS, THAT GOD DOES NOT EXIST. THIS IS THE GOD OF THEIR IMAGININGS AND THOUGHTS: THE NON-EXISTING GOD.

NOW THEN, THE LORD GOD, THE MOST HIGH GOD, THE TRUE GOD – WHAT DOES HE REVEAL ABOUT HIMSELF? He dwells in forever. He inhabits eternity.

He

fills

infinity.

14

15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; “I dwell in the high and lofty place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones,” (Isa 56:15). He is The

Everlasting Presence.

He created space and time.

He

created existence. You are told of His Holy Name. You discern His wonderful acts in all creation. Hence the state of existence is not applicable to God. Backwards and forwards in past eternity and into future everlasting, He is PRESENT F O R E V E R M O R E .

15

1. THE HOLY FATHER “Call no man your Father upon the earth; One is your Father which is in heaven,” (Gospel Book of Matthew 23:9)

HE IS THE FATHER OF THE GOD FAMILY IN HEAVEN 14 “For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 Of whom THE WHOLE FAMILY IN HEAVEN AND EARTH IS NAMED,” (Ephesians 3:1415).

23 Jesus answered and said unto him: “If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and *WE will come unto him, and make OUR abode with him. 24 He that loveth Me not keepeth not My sayings: and the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father which sent me. 26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My Name, he shall teach you all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. 28 Ye have heard how I said unto you,I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said , I go unto The Father:

for My

Father is greater than I. 31 But that the world may know that I love the Father, 16

and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go thence,” (Gospel Book of John 14:23, 24, 26, 28, 31). *THE MOST POWERFUL SCRIPTURE FOR THE CONVERTED BELIEVER AND PRACTITIONER OF THE FAITH ONCE DELIVERED TO THE SAINTS.

NOTE: THE FATHER IS MENTIONED IN JOHN CHAPTER 14 TWENTY ONE TIMES.

HOLY FATHER “And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. HOLY FATHER, keep through thine own Name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one as we are,” (Gospel Book of John 17:11).

GOD OUR FATHER, THE FATHER OF GLORY 1 “Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faitful in Christ Jesus: 2 Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. 17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto the spirit of wisdom, and revelation in the knowledge of Him. 17

2:18 For through Him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father, (Ephesians1:1, 3, 17; 2:18).

HOW THE FATHER IS TO BE CALLED IN THE NEW TESTAMENT PERIOD 32 “He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest; and the LORD GOD shall give unto Him the throne of His father David (genealogical human descent),” (Luke 1:32). Thus, it is revealed that in the New Testament dispensation, so to speak,

The

Ancient of Days is to be called and known as the “Lord God,” and Jesus, the Christ, is His Son, the “Son

of God.” Thereafter, the

Lord God is called by Jesus Christ

“His

Father,” and prayed to the Lord God, thus:

“Father,” the hour “And now, O

is come…,” (John 17:1).

Father…” Verse 5. 18

Jesus Christ taught His disciples to address, with their mortal lips, from within their understanding, believing mind, with all their heart and being, the

Lord God in the

model prayer: “Our FATHER, who art in heaven…” (Mat 6:9; Luke 11:2). Scriptures: Rom 1:7 1 Cor 1:3 2 Cor 1:22 2 Thes 1:2 1 Tim 1:2 Philem 3 Gal 1:4 Phil 1:2 Col 1:2 1Thes 1:1 Phil 4:20 1 Thes 1:3; 3:11, 13 2 Thes 1:1; 2:16

19

CHRIST CALLED HIM “MY FATHER” Christ came to reveal the Father. Before that, nobody had heard His voice, neither

seen

Him, (Jn 1:18; 6:46; 1 John 4:12). The Son, Jesus Christ, who came to earth from Heaven, came to make Him known to mankind, even to the Jews. The latter assumed and thought they knew God the Father. They concluded he is the One they knew and were taught thru the Old Testament Scriptures. This was their belief in

the history of the nation of

Israel consisting of twelve tribes who were descended from/came from the 12 sons of Jacob, the son of Isaac, who was the son of Abraham, T h e y

(YHVH/Jehovah/Yahweh – ELOHIYM (Eternal, 20

Ever Living), the One who became Jesus Christ. They were afraid to pronounce His Name. They call Him Hashem

today,

and they write G_d when they write about Him. They would not pronounce YHVH, the Tetragrammatton. Translated, by their definition, it means self-existing, ever living, the Eternal.

Jesus Christ revealed that The Lord God, His Father, is greater than Him (Christ). (greater than all – John 10:29. (“My Father is greater than I,” (John 14:28). (written 1-2 August 2008

The God of Everlasting Mercy, The Father of Mercies 1 “Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, Unto the church of God 21

which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achia: 2 Grace be to you and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, THE FATHER OF MERCIES, and the God of all comfort,” (2 Corinthians 1:1-3).

6 Seek ye the LORD while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near. 7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts, and let him return unto the LORD, and He will have mercy upon Him; and to our God that He will abundantly pardon. 8 For My Thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My Ways,” saith the LORD. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My Ways higher than your ways. 10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: 22

11 So that My Word be that goeth forth out of My Mouth, it shall not return unto Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. 12 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led with peace: the mountains and hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the briar shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to The LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off,” (Isa 55:6-13)

THE FATHER OF LIGHTS 17 “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the FATHER OF LIGHTS, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. 18 Of His own Will begat us with the Word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures,” (Epistle of James 1:17-18).

23

HOLY SOVEREIGN OF THE HEAVENLY HOSTS, AND OF ALL DOMINIONS AND REALMS, MATTER AND SPIRIT, VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE 19 And he said, “Hear thou therefore the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on His throne, and all the host of heaven standing by Him on right hand and on His left,” (1 Kings 22:19).

You perceive His Divine Presence. Perishing mortals, born of women, flesh and blood, finite, limited,

-

attempt at definition of Him who fills the entire Universe, and all realms and dominions, visible and invisible. All these mortal creatures

24

draw lines and configurations of Him. In so doing, they fabricate false gods to worship, and to argue about. And these idols, they call god, or “God” in their minds, they put in place. So they think. And so the oft quoted saying: “I PUT GOD FIRST AND FOREMOST IN MY LIFE”. OR “I PUT GOD ABOVE ALL THINGS.

They move it, or them, about. They also custom-fit these gods of their

25

imaginings to fit their personal desires and ambitions. Strange as it may seem, sooner than they are set in place, their visual senses behold sculpted or imagined images of them, and then they are possessed with an automatic reaction to worship in awe the thing which they have set in place by their own hand. And they commence

to

convince

themselves that God is pleased! Stranger still, they repeat this act and establish it as a system of 26

repeated worship!,

(Isa 44:11-19; 46:6-7).

WORSHIP GOD, NOT IDOLS.

You come to bow down before Him. Adore Him. Come on your knees in humbleness and obeisance before Him. Adore Him. Praise Him. Worship Him. Reverence Him. Honor

Him.

Pray

to

Him.

THE ANCIENT OF DAYS 9 “I beheld till the throne were cast down, and the

Ancient of days

did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of His head like the pure 27

wool: His throne was like the fiery flame, and His wheels as burning fire. 10 A fiery stream issued and came forth from before: thousand thousands ministered unto Him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened. 13 I saw in the night visions, and behold, one like the

Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought Him near before Him: (God with God: See > Heb 1:89; John 1:1). 14 And there was given Him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve Him: His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and His kingdom which shall not be destroyed,” ( D a n i e l

7 : 9 - 1 0 , 1 3 - 1 4 ) .

THE EVERLASTING PRESENCE Puny mortals, sincere as they can be, claim and confidently assert that God exists.

28

On the other hand, on the opposite side of the spectrum, so to speak : Fools claim there is no God. 1 The fool hath said in his heart, “There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good,” (Psalms 14:1). NEITHER OF THE ABOVE IS TRUE. How little man’s finite mind could be! He conceive of God to be as man is who exists and dwells in material space and time, with a finite duration, measurable even quantifiable. Created into existence by God’s Word. Every man is appointed to die. (Gen 6:17; 1 Cor 15:22; Heb 9:27). For as in Adam, all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive,” (1 Cor 15:22). “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, after this the judgment:”, (Heb 9:27).

29

Mortals conceive of time in the past. The present. The future. God created and invented time. He is not governed by what He created, which came to be, and now exists. All are in a finite state to serve a temporary purpose, and will pass away, until the true spiritual reality comes. When the Eternal God’s Divine Purpose must be fulfilled. 23 “But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at His coming. 24 THEN COMES THE END, when He shall have delivered up the Kingdom to God, even the Father; when He shall put down all rule, and all authority and power. 25 For He must reign, till He hath put all enemies under His feet. 26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. 28 And when all things shall be subdued unto Him, then shall the Son also be Himself be subject unto Him that put all things under Him,

THAT GOD MAY BE ALL IN ALL,” (1` Cor 15:23-29).

30

Because God “exists” to them, they say “I put God first, and above everything else, in my life.” So God to them is some “something” they can move in whichever direction they deem they must. Some thing they can reposition, an option they can tick or click, in their order of priorities. September 5, 2008, Thursday

God is eternal. Infinite. Everlasting. Backwards and forwards, seamless, unbroken, in infinity, He is present forevermore. He is not governed by, neither subject to, time. He created time into existence. Limitations of language that the human tongue and mortal lips can speak cannot adequately define and describe the eternal presence of God. *Whenever any mortal mind of any type, degree, and kind of brightness, acuity, and brilliance thinks, visualizes, and imagines, and attempts to reach backwards in time, it

31

will touch a blank wall. There, it ceases to be able to go any further. WHY?

THE EVERLASTING GOD MADE IT SO. 29 “The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law,” (Book of Deuteronomy 29:29). *November 2, 2008, Sabbath

He dwells in unapproachable light, (1 Tim 6:16). He, whose Name is Holy, who dwell in the high and holy place, inhabits eternity, (Isa 57:15).

1 “LORD, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. 2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, EVEN FROM EVERLASTING TO EVERLASTING, THOU ART GOD,” (A Prayer of Moses - Book of Psalms 90:1-2).

Created mortals, human flesh and blood, can only speak within the range of his 32

mortality and limitations, inside of existence, and his own existence.

The Creator God is the Everlasting Presence Forevermore. TO THOSE EDUCATED TO THE CONCEPT THAT GOD EXISTS, THIS NEGATION TO AN ACCEPTED CONCEPT AND DOCTRINE, THAT GOD DOES NOT EXIST, IS AKIN TO BLASPHEMY. IT WILL TAKE TIME FOR THIS REVELATION, FROM AND BY GOD HIMSELF ABOUT HIMSELF, TO SINK IN. THIS REVEALS HUMAN NATURE. THAT ONCE IT IS ACCLIMATIZED AND ACCULTURATED TO AN ACCEPTED DOCTRINE, IT BECOMES AS ONE SET IN STONE, AND HEDGED WITH A REJECTION TO RISE TO A HIGHER GROUND OF SPIRITUAL GROWTH AND UNDERSTANDING. THE DIVINE ARCHITECT

1 Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said, 2 “Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? 3 Gird up thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me. 4 Where was thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare if thou hast understanding. 5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? Or who hath stretched the line upon it?

6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? Or who laid the cornerstone thereof; 7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? (Job 38:1-7).

Creator of the Universe 31 Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?, (Job 38:31). 22 The LORD possessed me in the beginning of His way, before His works of old. 23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. 24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water, 25 Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:

34

26 While as yet he hath not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world. 27 When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth: 28 When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep. 29 When he gave the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth: 30 Then I was by Him, as one brought up with Him: and I was daily His delight, rejoicing always before Him; 31 Rejoicing in the habitable part of His earth; and my delights were with the sons of men,” (Proverbs 8: 22-31). Today ,20 August 08 Wednesday

FORMED THE EARTH AND MAN ON IT 11 Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and His Maker, “Ask me of things to concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. 12 I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched the heavens, and all their host have I commanded. 13 I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build

35

my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward,” saith the LORD of hosts. 18 For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he

created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else, (Isa 45:11-12, 18). (See Job 38:7). (August 22 2008)

*TO HIM ALL PRAISE AND HONOR BELONG 1 “Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. 2 Serve the LORD with gladness: come before His presence with singing. 3 Know ye that the LORD He is God: It is He that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture. 4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise: be thankful unto Him, and bless His Name. 5 For the LORD is good; His mercy is everlasting; and His truth endureth to all generations,” (Book of Psalms 100:1-5).

36

1 “O give thanks unto the LORD: call upon His Name: make known His deeds among the people. 2 Sing unto Him, sing psalms unto Him: talk ye of all His wondrous works. 3 Glory ye in His Holy Name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD. 4 Seek the LORD, and His strength: seek His face evermore. 5 Remember His marvellous work that He hath done, His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth,” (Psalms 105:1-5).

1 “O God my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise and give praise even with my glory. 2 Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early. 3 I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people, and I will sing praises unto thee among the .nations. 4 For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds. 5 Be thou exalted, O God above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth,” (Psalms 108:1-5). 1 “Praise ye the LORD, I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation. 2 The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all of them that have pleasure therein.

37

3 His work is honourable and glorious: and His righeousness endureth forever. 4 He hath made His wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion,” (Psalms 111:1-4). 1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens: praise Him in the heights. 2 Praise ye Him, all His angels: praise ye Him, sun and moon: praise him, all stars of light. 3 Praise ye Him, sun and moon: praise Him, all ye stars of light. 4 Praise Him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens. 5 Let them praise the Name of the LORD for He commanded and they were created. 6 He hath also established them for ever and ever, He hath a decree which shall not pass. 7 Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps: 8 Fire, and hail: snow and vapour; stormy wind and fulfilling His word: 9 Mountains and all hills; fruitful trees and all cedars: 10 Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things and flying fowl: 11 Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth: 12 Both young men, and maidens; old men and children;

13 Let them praise the Name of the LORD; for His Name alone is excellent; His glory is above the earth and heaven. 14 He also exalteth the horn of His people, the praise of all His saints; even the children of Israel, a people near unto Him. Praise ye the LORD,” (Psalms 148:1-14). 7 “Praise ye the LORD: Praise O ye servants of the LORD, praise the Name of the LORD. 8 Blessed be the Name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. 9 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD’s Name is to be praised. 10 The LORD is high above the heavens. 11 Who is like the LORD who dwelleth on high,” (Psalms 113:1-5).

1 “O praise the LORD, all ye nations. Praise Him all ye people. 2 For His merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endureth for ever. Praise the LORD,” (Psalms 117:1-2). *

1 “Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and His praise in the congregation of the saints. 2 Let Israel rejoice in Him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King. 3 Let them praise His Name in the dance: let them sing praises unto Him with the timbrel and harp. 39

4Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two edged sword in their hand,” (Psalms 149”1-3, 6).

1 “Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in His Sanctuary. Praise Him in the firmament of His power. 2 Praise Him for His mighty acts: Praise Him according to His excellent greatness. 3 Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet: Praise Him with the psaltery and harp. 4 Praise Him with the timbrel and dance: praise Him with stringed instruments and organs. 5 Praise Him upon the loud cymbals: praise Him upon the high sounding cymbals. 6 Let everything that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD,” (Book of Psalms 150:1-6). *November 3, 2008

*THE GLORIOUS THRONE OF GOD 1 “After this I looked, and behold, a door was opened in heaven… 2 And immediately, I was in the Spirit and behold, a throne was set in heaven, and One sat on the throne.

40

3 And He that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. 4 And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold. 5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God, 6 And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal. And in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind. 7 And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had the face like a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle. 8 And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him: and they were full of eyes within, and they rest not day or night, saying Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. 9 And when those beasts give glory and honor amd thanks to Him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever, The four and twenty elders fall down before Him that sat on the throne, and worship Him that liveth

41

for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, 10 Thou art worthy O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created,” (Book of Revelation 4:1-11). *November 2, 2008, SundaY

*IN ALL THIS EXCELLENCY AND MAJESTY OF GOD OUR FATHER, HOW CAN WE RELATE TO HIM? 1 Bless the LORD, O my soul. O Lord my God. Thou art very great; thou art clothed with honor and majesty: 2 Who covereth thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain: 3 Who layeth the beams of His chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds His chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind: 4 Who maketh His angels spirits; His ministers a flaming fire: 5 Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed forever,” (Book of Psalms 104:1-5).

1 “Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless His Holy Name. 2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: 3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; 4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

42

5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things: so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s. 6 The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed. 7 He made known His Ways untoMoses, His acts unto the children of Israel. 8 The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. 9 He will not always chide: neither will He keep His anger for ever. 10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. 11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward them that fear Him. 12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath He removed our transgressions from us. 13 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear Him.

14 For He knoweth our frame; He

remembereth that we are dust. 15 As for man, his days are as grass, as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. 16 So the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more. 17 But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear Him, and His righteousness unto children’s children. 43

18 To such as keep His covenant, and to those that remember His commandments to do them. 19 The LORD hath prepared His throne in the heavens; and His kingdom ruleth over all,” (Book of Psalms 103:1-19).
