The Planet Odyssey
This is the
introduction (beginning) of Presbyter King’s document: “The
Planet Odyssey”. For many Christians this is controversial but it is not
un-Biblical. Not all Christians understand the beginnings of our planet the
same way. This information is confirmed by historical, archeological and of
course Biblical knowledge.
The Planet Odyssey
Documenting the
Paradise Dilemma
The following is the
revealed and basic outline of our planet’s history particularly concerning
humans. This knowledge was researched from the Ancient Antiochene
Library. The controversial details revealed in this document are not
necessarily understood the same way by other Christians. We do not
include all the multiple documentations of scripts that this knowledge came
from. All we ask is that if you are a Christian please read it and contemplate
it. Our archeological knowledge and scientific research
is still growing regarding these vital topics. (TSW Christian Research.)
By Presbyter King
We can imagine a
fresh and beautiful planet created billions of years ago.
There was a special
celestial angel placed in charge of this new planet and his name was Lucifer.
When it was created all the “sons of God shouted for joy”, they
witnessed instantaneous creation out of nothing.
The planet was
governed by Lucifer, who had the high title of “the Morning Star”.
“Morning Star” is a title given to Earth’s planetary King (Ruler). The first
planet [early earth] was like a paradise. The animals were different
than those that we now have. Many dinosaurs were roaming around. There
were also celestial created angelic beings who were allowed to “take on flesh”
bodies which looked somewhat human but had many variations.
There was a garden
called “Eden” on this first earth. It was a headquarters of beauty.
This first planet
experienced many changes over many thousands of years before the Great
Rebellion occurred. All living beings that were human-like (bodies
inhabited by the angelic beings) had glorified physical
bodies, all functions uncontaminated by sin yet. Then sin entered. This
first great rebellion happened when Lucifer decided to break the rules and let
pride enter his heart.
The First Earth becomes Chaotic
The first verse of
the Bible states;
“In the beginning
God created the heavens and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1)
“In the beginning”,
millions of years ago. Only God knows when that happened. So when God created
“the heavens and the earth” it was instantaneous and perfect.
Isaiah the prophet tells us of this;
“For this is what
the Lord says – he who created the heavens, he is God; he who fashioned and
made the earth, he founded it; he did not create it to be empty
(Hebrew: “without form and void”), but formed it to be inhabited.” (Isaiah
45:18)
So the original
“planet Earth” was made complete and inhabitable. The very second
verse of the Bible properly reads in the Hebrew; “Now the earth BECAME formless
and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was
hovering over the waters.” (Genesis 1:2) So the original translation tells
us that something happened in-between verses one and two of Genesis….something
that brought desolation to planet Earth.
We go on to read
about the angels that “shouted for joy” when God made this first perfect
earth (Job 38:4-7). So what happened to it that made it become “void” and
“chaotic” [without form]?
If you read the rest
of the Bible you can begin to understand what happened in between these two
verses. What happened was a spiritual war. When we read the
account of Adam and Eve we note that sin already
existed, before man was created. God never creates anything “void” and “without
form”. It is sin which brought destruction. Remember, when God first created
the planet … “he did not create it to be empty (Hebrew: “without form
and void”), but formed it to be inhabited.” (Isaiah 45:18)
We can properly
document in our early Ancient Antiochene Library that
on the First Earth there were in fact multiple races of
human-type beings before the spiritual war broke out. Just because some of
these created beings had different size brains does not mean they were created
to be dumb. All shapes and sizes, some with incarnate angelic spirits in
them walked this planet of ours. This was the first earth and
it was ruled by Lucifer.
Earth breaks Apart
There was a Pre-Adamite
Earth (earth before Adam & Eve). Lucifer (Satan)
and his angels were in charge of the planet long ago. Satan rebelled and
brought destruction on the first world. The geographical earth-plates shifted
during this first great rebellion. The earth literally
became “without form & void”. We have Scripture which confirms that Lucifer
once walked in the Garden of Eden and he was still without sin, he was here
before this great destruction.
Lucifer in Eden before Sin
We have an exact
account about Lucifer before he sinned;
“You were the
model of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. YOU WERE IN
EDEN, the garden of God; every precious stone adorned you; ruby, topaz and
emerald, chrysolite, onyx and jasper, sapphire, turquoise and beryl. Your settings
and mountings were made of gold; on the day you were created they were
prepared. You were anointed as a guardian cherub [Morning
Star], for so I ordained you. You were on the holy mount of God; you walked
among the fiery stones. You were blameless in your ways from the day
you were created till wickedness was found in you.” (Ezekiel
28:13-15)
So we know that
Lucifer was in the (or “a”) Garden of Eden before
sin…still “blameless”…this would be on the First Earth,
before his rebellion. He was in charge of the earth. Even in his fallen
state (as Satan) he is still called “the god of this world” (2
Corinthians 4:4). As the “god of this world” Satan offered Jesus the kingdoms
of this fallen world (Matthew 4:8-11). Jesus of course turned him down.
The Rebellion
A war broke out in
three heavens; Earth’s atmosphere, outer space, and
the spiritual realm. Lucifer and one third of his
followers lost their attempt at ‘take over’ and were no longer
regularly allowed into the third heaven but were confined to outer space and
earth’s atmosphere. Of course they all lost their glorified physical
bodies in the spiritual battle. Some of the fallen ones today try
and get into human souls (psyches) to experience embodiment
which is something that they miss. The process in which the fallen ones do this
is called “demonic possession”.
As a matter of fact,
some very early humanoids actually survived the destruction of the surface of
the first earth. Divine Intelligence had a chosen elect which
would survive the first rebellion. Of course these beings had lost their
glorified bodies and now had the weak flesh bodies and contaminated
consciences.
After the First Earth Destruction
So this spiritual
battle destroyed the surface of our planet. It
became chaotic and void and “darkness
covered the surface of the deep”. This is the record of our last and huge
ice age; “the surface of the deep” is a reference to the slush that was
covering our dark planet. The last ice age began to end about 10,000 years ago.
After four thousand years of melting the planet was ready for restructuring
which started just over 6000 years ago. It stayed in this chaotic state for
many years. Even before this time more than one ice age was
experienced by the fallen ones still here. Then Divine
Intelligence [Yahweh] began the next phase of His plan. He
began to re-create the surface of the earth.
Though God destroyed
the first earth it was not a complete destruction, for God promised;
“This is what the
Lord says: “The whole land will be ruined, though I will not destroy it
completely.” (Read about the First Earth destruction here, Jeremiah
4:23-28)
God would “restore” the
surface of the world,
“When you send your
Spirit, they are created, and you renew (restore) the
face of the earth.” (Psalm 104: 30)
Genesis and the Re-Creation
The Bible does not
teach evolution but it does teach a much older earth than 6000 years. The so called “creationists” try to explain that all
the geological strata (the layers upon layers of earth) were the result of a
worldwide flood. Noah’s flood was actually regional and
happened only between 4000 and 5000 years ago and does not mention a world
filled with numerous dinosaurs. Radiocarbon dating and potassium-argon dating
are used and some Bible students will use these methods when they agree with
their biasness but reject them when they contradict their dogma.
Though the Adamic
race was created about 6000 plus years ago, many other races were here
long before that. The last ice age was probably about 10,000 years ago and it
took 4000 years for most of this ice to melt before the reconstruction
of our planet’s surface - which is mentioned through the “six day”
recreation account.
These “creation
days” were not literal days. We find in
the Targum of Onkelos which is the earliest of the Aramaic
rendition of Genesis 1:2 that the earth “was laid waste” so
they understood that the First Earth had “become” without
form and void because of some catastrophic
event. What follows in Genesis is the explanation of a “re-creation”
of planet earth’s surface.
Earth Reconstructed
We know that the
destruction of the First Earth due to spiritual rebellion
ended about 65 million years ago. The dinosaurs roamed the first earth during
what is called the Triassic and Jurassic period.
Some of the water dinosaurs lasted all the way into the times of the Adamic
Race. So much life did in fact survive the destruction of the First Earth
including micro life, plant life, and some animal life. In fact, we
know that God allowed at least three early Human-type life creations to survive
the destruction of the First Earth. These are the earliest surviving human-type
races.
The Bible does not
teach evolution but CREATION. The early
creatures on the First Earth were in fact created by God. There
are no pre-fossil records for the great dinosaurs; they have
no fossils showing that an animal went from the size of a mosquito to the size
of a large dinosaur. The absence of intermediate fossil records disturbs the
scientists who choose to reject literal creation.
So where are the so
called “missing links”? There are none. We will let the thoughts of
Michael Denton end the thoughts on this subject;
“The overall picture
of life on Earth today is so DISCOUNTINOUS, the GAPS between the different
types so obvious, that, as Steven Stanley reminds us in his recent book Macroevolution,
if our knowledge of biology was restricted to those species presently existing
on Earth, “we might wonder whether the doctrine of evolution would qualify as
anything more than an outrageous hypothesis.” Without intermediates or
transitional forms to bridge the enormous gaps which separate existing species
and groups of organisms, the concept of evolution could never be taken
seriously as a scientific hypothesis. (pp 157-158)
Seven Days and the RE-creation
Most Christians
today are not allowing the wisdom of God’s natural laws to help properly
understand Scripture. Instead, most are asking us to ignore “the man behind
the curtain” when it comes to scientific facts. The most remarkable
and amazing thing is the fact that Scripture actually agrees with the so called
“scientific facts” when it comes to creation and the destruction of the first
earth.
Those that disagree
with Ancient Antiochene Christianity say that we deny what
they refer to as “the plain reading of Scripture” and our
response to them is; “No we do not.” In fact, we follow the Seven
Ancient Antiochene Hermeneutic Rules when interpreting Scripture and
one of those rules is “context controls the meaning”. If the days in the
creation story are literal why is the sun and moon “created” on the fourth day?
To serve as signs and to mark the seasons and days?
Hhhmm. Again, let the context control the meaning. Clearly
these are symbolic days.
First of all, the Hebrew
word for create is not used until we get to the fifth and
sixth “day” [Hebrew: yom] of the creation story. The actual wording
used for the fourth day in regards to the Sun and Moon is the fact that God
“brought forth” [not created] the sun and the moon so that they could be seen
again from the surface of the earth that was covered with darkness (Genesis 1:2).
So after the second
verse of Genesis we begin the account of the “reconstruction” of a
planet gone wrong. We note that on the “first day” of the recreation God
“brought forth light” - it does NOT say in the Hebrew
that He then “created” the light (Genesis 1:3). Remember, after the destruction
of the first earth the atmosphere was covered with “darkness” (Genesis 1:2). It
was on the first day that God allowed some light back, not all. Some of
this light was also no doubt produced by electrical storms.
In the “second
day” we have an atmosphere reforming (Genesis 1:1-7). The
second day’s work was the beginning of the readjustment of earth’s atmosphere.
Then we come to the “third day” where land begins to appear and
vegetation is restored. On the “fourth day” total sunlight is restored
to earth’s surface – completely clean atmosphere, no more complete
darkness.
Only when we get to
the “fifth day”, “sixth day” and “eighth day” (yes, there
is an 8th day) do we get to the actual Hebrew word “bara”
– which means ‘created’ or ‘create’. On these last days
of the Creation Week God did actually create (bara)
brand new animal species and on the “sixth day” all the Human
Races.
Really there is no “eighth
day” mentioned in Scripture but we use that as a phrase - a reference for
the creation which did in fact follow the Seventh Day. These were probably not
literal days. The Hebrew word used for “day” in regards to the six day creation
does not necessarily mean a literal 24 hour day. These time periods
probably differed somewhat in length.
The Hebrew word used
for “day” (yom) and the contextual way in which it is used doesn’t mean that
the days have to be literal days. They can mean a “lengthy period” of
time. The Bible says; “For a thousand years in your sight are like
a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night.” (Psalm
90:4; 2 Peter 3:8)
God gave literal day
weeks for man to remember the gift of creation and the manna He
fed them while in the wilderness (Exodus 16:23). The macro creation
week is remembered in a micro week of literal days on the
Jewish calendar. The literal Sabbath Day marked the week and ultimately
pointed to Jesus Christ who becomes the “Life Giver” and “Spiritual Rest” of
the true believer. (Hebrews 4:3; Matthew 11:28-30)
Not Re-created in a Literal Week
Even some of the
early Patristic Christians properly contemplated this. St
Augustine stated; ”What kind of days these were it is extremely difficult, or
perhaps impossible, to determine” (City of God 11.7).
In Genesis 1:1 the
word “created” is in the “perfect tense” which means in Hebrew that it
precedes what follows as a fact and not as a summery to that which follows. In
fact, what follows is an explanation of a “reconstruction” of earth’s surface
while Genesis 1:1 is creation by fiat, out of nothing.
When we get to the
“7th day” are we to assume that just because God was done with
the “reconstruction” of earth’s surface that He was done forever creating? Some
“creationists” tout this. The Scriptures teach that God is still creating.
Also, was this “Sabbath” a once for all 24 hour day? No. Hebrews ch4
teaches that “the Sabbath remains” for all who wish to enter this spiritual
rest.
When we read the beginning
of the gospel of St John we find that in the beginning “was
the Word” and that from that Word (Jesus the Christ) came
all things. In Christ we are a “new creation” so yes, God is
definitely still creating.
“The true light,
which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world. He was in the world, and
the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. He came to his
own, and his own people did not receive him. But to all who did receive him, who
believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were
born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but
of God.” (John 1:9-13).
Jesus was
resurrected on the “eighth day” (Sunday), the day after the
Sabbath (Saturday). “Behold, all
things become new.” So symbolically we are still in the
8th day of creation…creation is still happening. Jesus
Christ stated; “My food, is to do the will of him who sent me and
to finish his work.” (John 4:34)
The Eighth Day
After the
seventh day, it is recorded that “eth ha Adam” was created (Genesis
2:7). This is the “emphatic man”…the “special man”. The
rest of the entire Bible will have to do with this man’s history and all his
offspring. Through this “first Adam” would ultimately come the
“second Adam”, from umbilical cord to umbilical cord ultimately
producing Jesus Christ, which is to say “God with us.” (1
Corinthians 15:45)
Many scholars have
debated over and noticed the fact that there are two creation stories of man
given in the Bible. Are these the same account? Or are they different
accounts…different creations? Contextually they are different accounts
thus different creations.
Note: Marriage was instituted in honor of Adam and Eve and to show and demonstrate
that we serve a God of relationship. God was beginning to reveal His
plan to humanity. (Genesis 2:24)
When we read Genesis
chapter one all the way up to chapter two and verse six we notice an abrupt
change, a jump into the creation account of Eth ha Adam and Eve.
This is a different account than the first recorded creation account of “man”
or “mankind” in chapter one verses twenty-six through thirty-one and it
begins right after the seventh day. This is why we say that the creation of
Adam and Eve actually occurred on the Eighth Day.
In Genesis chapter
one the Hebrew word create (bara) is used to explain
the creation of animals and mankind but in chapter two regarding the creation
of Eth ha Adam the Hebrew word form (yasar) is used.
The Creation Week is what we could call “fiat” (by Word) creation and Adam and
Eve’s creation (on the eighth day) one of “action creation” – hands
on forming like a potter.
Adam and Eve were
created to produce the special blood-line (Family) that would ultimately
produce the Messiah, Jesus the Christ. God promised that through
Eve’s seed the redeemer would come and ultimately destroy Satan. God said that
He would put hatred between her seed (offspring) and the
Serpent’s (Satan’s) offspring (Genesis 3:14-15).
So technically God
is still creating in this “8th Day” (8th Yom)
and we are watching and experiencing it. This symbolic 8th Day
will end with the Seven Year Tribulation and Armageddon.
After that, we (True Christians) will enter “the Day of the Lord” which is the
Millennial Reign of our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ. The millennial
kingdom will be on this planet restored yet once again. (Acts 3:19-21; Matthew
19:28; Revelation 20:1-4)
Currently we are all
experiencing a parenthetical period of time known as the “Ecclesiastical
Dispensation” or “Dispensation of Grace”. It is in this period of
time that we have the complete Gospel of Jesus Christ to download into our
spirit and soul.
An important topic
for all Christians to understand is the knowledge of the Seven Dispensations.
We are in the sixth and when we enter the Millennial Kingdom we will be
entering the last dispensation of this planet which will be the Thousand Year Reign
of Christ. (Revelation 20:1-4)
