What a Gift

In all these years I have never thought about Yah's Creation other than His creation, but now I see this old earth as such a wonderful gift to us humans; yet mankind has succeeded in polluting it once again. I truly understand the reason for His coming Day of Wrath.

Yahweh's Creation was perfect from the beginning and we will get a taste of that perfection when His Son takes control of the promised land of Canaan. In the meantime we must continue to put God first in all things and learn His Ways and live by His Teachings, following in the footsteps of His Son, Yahshua.

God's Perfection began to fall apart when that old serpent, Satan, convinced Eve (who convinced Adam) to disregard one simple rule the Creator gave them:

Genesis 2:17 ....but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; for in the day that you eat of it, you will surely die.

This is when death entered the picture, 

not only physical death but a spiritual death as well.

Back in the day, about 200 of God's heavenly host decided to leave their spiritual stations to live on earth and intermingle with His physical creation. They taught humans many things they were not supposed to know.  The divine beings had sex with human women and their offspring were soulless mutants called the Nephilim - genetically modified human beings, not part of Yah's creation.  Life went down hill from there until The Flood was necessary to destroy the evil that had infected mankind.

 

This same event is recorded in the Books of Enoch with more detail of just how bad things had gotten.  The divine beings wanted to be like 'God' - they created life via human women.  This behavior echoes Satan's ultimate goal which is to be worshiped as a god.

 

We find a similar account recorded in Jasher. In the latter days of Methusalah, men were turning from Yah in rebellion, and corrupted the earth, robbed each other and transgressed and corrupted themselves, up to the point Yahweh thought to destroy and annihilate them.  The earth was filled with violence. The difference in Jasher is there is no mention of 'divine beings' but 'judges and rulers' who took wives by force from their husbands and that the 'sons of men' (Nephilim?) in those days took cattle, beasts and fowls and taught the mixture of animals of one species with another in order to provoke Yahweh.  This could relate to what is written in Enoch about the Nephilim sinning against birds, beasts, reptiles and fish. Sin is living according to one's own imaginings, turning against the teachings of Yahweh the Creator.

Leviticus 19:19

You shall not let your cattle mate with a different kind; you shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed; you shall not put on cloth from a mixture of two kinds of material.

From the writings of Enoch:

These women became pregnant and gave birth to what is called the Nephilim, who grew to 300 cubits in height (450 feet?). They ate every thing produced for them and when that ran out they turned against mankind and ate them. The Nephilim sinned against birds, beasts, reptiles and fish (more genetic manipulations? crossbred mutants?) and began to eat each other's flesh and drink their blood (cannibals and vampires?). They were lawless ones. They taught men metallurgy in the making of swords, shields, knives and breastplates as well as bracelets and ornaments. They taught the use of antimony (A metalloid element having many forms, the most common of which is a hard, very brittle, shiny, blue-white crystal) and the use of paints and dyes, the use of make up to beautify eyes, the use of gemstones - then did all godlessness increase and everything was corrupt.

Setting all this aside for a moment, look again at our Father's Creation and how good and right it is for everyone under His Instructions.  While this should bring joy to our hearts we also recognize, once again, the earth has become filled with violence and how corruption has overtaken men and how governments transgress every single law recorded in Scriptures.  Yes, Yah's Day of Wrath is well earned by these evil doers.

Our salvation gives us hope in the Kingdom to come.  Lets keep the joy of perfection in our hearts and live according to His Ways. 

 

Our faith gives us what we need to endure.  Faith is our commitment to the One who spoke Creation into existence. Yahweh has told us the end from the beginning so there is no excuse for us not to know what was, what is and what is yet to happen. This is the beginning of knowledge, and we do not want to be destroyed for lack of knowledge.

 

Time is nearly up for fence-sitters and middle-of-the-roaders.
