Alf Droy’s
Abbreviated Testimony
Wake Up! The Lord is Returning is a scholarly yet
reader-friendly presentation of a vital aspect of the Christian faith. You will
be challenged as you explore the author’s insights and examine your own
personal understanding of God’s purpose at this time in history.

There are three main strands in ‘Wake Up! The Lord is Returning’
(fourth edition) which are all
fascinating: Alf Droy's careful and detailed interpretation of Scripture with
its relation to world history; his visions, words of knowledge and prophecies
(reminiscent in some ways of Clifford Hill's call to the prophetic ministry);
his beliefs about events to come, some of which have already happened. Jeremiah
had to wait a long, frustrating time before he was taken seriously. Alf has
experienced the same, and he knows he has to be faithful to his commission. As always, Alf’s book is full of fascinating facts,
dates and figures and careful deductions. He is never afraid to alter his
conclusions in the light of further study and revelation. He may or may not be
right in his prediction of the Rapture but the great need to be ready for it or
for our own death is essential. Regularly many of his predictions come true, if
not always at the proposed date. There’s another batch due before Easter 2005.
Although the reader will tend to go for the future prophecies, there is much of
value in the rest of the book, as Alf takes us through the Bible right from
Creation, and fills in some intriguing gaps. He often pauses, usually in long
footnotes, to make social comment with which the reader will go along
wholeheartedly. Alf also charts his own walk of faith, reasoning, and study.
Worth a(nother) read.

Sword) Methodist Local Preacher
Wake Up!
The Lord is Returning: (fifth edition)
As I read this 5th edition I am aware of more of Alf’s
prophecies coming true or about to do so. The prophecies are provoked sometimes
by visions and words of knowledge (Alf tells you which), by Alf’s
interpretation of Biblical time codes or by his acute readings of current
social trends and their likely consequences. One thing is certain, never was
there a time in our lives so urgent to get our priorities right, both
individually and collectively as Christians or
as human beings, before the Lord comes to take us (or reject us!).
An increasingly frightening time, but under-girded by God’s unfailing promises
and strength-a very present help in times of trouble. This is not a time to
keep our heads down and hope we will be all right because we have been ‘nice
people’. We have to catch Alf’s (or the Holy Spirit’s) passion to share what we
know, while there is still time and opportunity. This book, read or re-read
will do us good, if we approach it in the right mood, not quibbling over
details. I commend it to you!

Editorship of “Prophecy Today” and the Prophetic Ministry of Rev Dr Clifford
Hill.)
Bearing in mind the fact that Alf Droy
foresaw the events of September 11th of which he writes in Wake Up! The Lord is Returning: (second edition), e.g. ‘A major attack on American soil was being plotted by
a group of Islamic extremists… Mayhem and devastation could result if a
cold-hearted fanatical pilot chose to use any aeroplane as a missile against a
significant target’. This very interesting and fascinating book is definitely
worth a read. Three other of his prophecies have been fulfilled and nine are
still awaiting fulfilment. The expanded second edition allows readers to weigh
Alf’s words against actual events. Readers may disagree with some of Alf’s
conclusions but this is not a book to be ignored. (Alf Droy’s autobiography ‘The Lord is My Shepherd’
is quite remarkable too, dramatic, challenging, illuminating, encouraging).
In the fourth edition of ‘Wake Up! The Lord’ is Returning’ Alf has updated and refreshed his material, with a combination of historical learning and comment; together with the prophetic edge that has marked the previous editions. Alf continues to chart, and share his understanding of The Lord’s plans and purposes for this earth. Not everyone will agree with Alf’s approach or beliefs, or be entirely comfortable with his revelations but simply look at what is happening around the world and plot it against the events spelt out in these pages. There is a new acceptance of the supernatural in many areas of society today but it continues to elude, even often, large tranches of the mainstream church. Regardless of what the church thinks or feels God is God and He is supernatural and if God supernaturally reveals parts of His plans and purposes to one of His people then so be it. I recommend you read this book with a spirit of openness to the things of God and an appreciation of Alf’s passion for the Lord. Then if and when you see the prophecies contained within these pages being worked out give the glory to the Lord for sharing His plans with His people

believe it would prove a wise investment to obtain a copy of this book to pass
on to one’s loved ones. The book is available only from El Shaddai Publishers
at 41, Warkworth Street Cambridge. CB1 1EG. On the 13th October
2001[1]
I received a revelatory ‘word of knowledge’
that within 3½ years of the diamond jubilee year of yovel, the sacred year of jubilee (which ran from the 17th
September 2001 until the 6th September 2002) that sometime during the Hebraic
religious year that began in Nisan 2006, and following the 50-day ‘counting of the omer’, but before the start of Rosh HaShanah (the Hebraic New Year’s Day
Tishrei 1), Israel would carry out a retaliatory missile strike against Palestinian Hizballah
based in Lebanon over cross-border incidents that were
temporarily ‘dampened down’ by United Nation dictate (UN). That prophecy is now history, the 34 day war took place mid 2006, prior
to Rosh HaShanah Hebraic year
5767). In December 2005 I received
a revelatory word of knowledge
that the world would be entering
a third seven-year period of Tribulation, following the 50-day ‘counting of the omer’ of
2007, that would lead to the countdown to the commencement of World War III. On 6th September
2007 the Israeli Air Force made a peremptory strike deep into Syria. The strike
occurred just before Hebraic year 5768 started. Without a doubt the attack will
result in a response from Syria
sometime before Hebraic year 5769 commences on 19th September 2008.
The Islamic anticipation of a second Holocaust could possibly lead to the full
scale invasion of Psalm 83 and mushroom out of control triggering off the invasion which I have written of on pages
213 and 239 of this sixth edition.
I experienced a revelatory dream on the night
of 06 06 06, the 39th anniversary of the liberation of the Old City
of Jerusalem (read footnote 274 for the occult significance
surrounding these significant numbers). On
this same date the Pentagon announced that America was removing itself from the
Geneva Convention because of the adverse comments received regarding ‘humiliating and degrading treatment’
of suspect terrorist subjects. I was surprised that it took as long as it did
for degrading reports of rape and murder of Iraqi families and prisoners being
tortured and humiliated by US soldiers to emerge?
The dream was centred around the next Olympic Games
in China. I have subsequently deciphered this riddle and found that the torch
will be carried from Mount Olympus in Greece to Beijing and ignite the cauldron
in the Stadium on the 8th day of the 8th month at 8.08
PM. In the astrology of witchcraft the number eight is the number of the sign
of the scorpion, which starts the fifth monthly sign of the Zodiac, that
commences at the Hebraic month of Nisan,
which falls in the month of Av (aka the month of tragedy) in the Hebrew calendar. Av in 2008 starts at sunset on the 9th
August. I have written of this dream on page 317, which confirms to me that
the details of those revelatory words of
knowledge received on 13th October 2001 and in December
2005 concerning the outbreak of World War III, and the third woe, were
fore-runners to this climactic revelation which signifies to me the parallel,
the beginning of the third period of Great Tribulation the three woes and the
three world wars. The countdown to World War III started in 2006 with
Israel’s retaliation to cross-border incidents, the tension was increased on 6th
September 2007 with the peremptory strike against Syria. The
third woe of Revelation Ch 11:14 (which is the fulfilment of Psalm 83) will
precipitate World War III
and will be the countdown to the Rapture of believers (see page 165).
Owing
to British based militant para-church groups such as the Christian Institute,
Christian Voice, the Maranatha Community and the Lawyer’s Christian Fellowship,
proposed government Bills are being scrutinised much more closely than in less
intensive times of outright hostility against perceived Christian ‘hectoring’
or harassment, as associated with followers of The Lord’s Day Observance
Society. Such censorial accusations have been likened with the hysteria
associated with the power of malevolent trade unionism which must be contained
by political power at all costs. Christian NGO’s are advising their members to
unite in protest at any perceived further infringement against godly
government! Previous Governments have received a mandate to only exercise the
power of deregulation to earlier Acts that have received parliamentary approval
in that government’s term of office. I have drawn attention in earlier prophecy
that the present government is attempting to render Parliament impotent and
therefore unnecessary. New Labour is bent on establishing a militarist
unelected Governing Council unaccountable to the electorate see page 152). In January 2006 a whale swam the River Thames to within
sight of the Houses of Parliament. A revelatory word
of knowledge revealed that the whale was sent as the sign of Jonah
by God to the Head-quarters (HQ) of authority of the United Kingdom (UK) and as
the inheritor of the blessings bestowed on Ephraim, that because successive
secular governments had marginalised Christianity and its independence from
Europe, Britain is to be severely judged through the rod of God’s anger (see
footnote 345).
Whilst
contemplating the significance of the sinking of the St Louis a German
passenger liner, of which I have written in footnote 245, I received a disturbing revelatory word of knowledge. I was told that the
details of the New World Global Government, of which I write in Chapter 3, was
only the tip of a secretive submerged ice-berg. The Illuminati promoted by Cecil Rhodes is alive and
flourishing in Britain through the activities of the Rhodes Trust of which you
will read in this book (see page 152), and the seemingly innocuous activities of the
Freemasons. Rhodes died in 1902 not living to see his Utopian dream
materialise. The
Inner Circle and
their cohorts in the Illuminati,
the Freemasons,
and the New
Age Movement infiltrated and now administer the corridors
of power throughout not only Britain but former Christendom. 1234The Lord said
to my deflated spirit:
The
Jezebel spirit will be eaten by the dogs of war (1 Kings Ch 21:23-23) and nothing of
the Illuminati’s perfidious capitalist system will remain.” “You rebellious
people are the servants of Satan the father of lies. You worship him because he
has made you promises of his payments in gratitude for your continuous support
and the life-style you enjoy with no consideration for the under-privileged,
poverty-stricken masses that your functionaries govern. I am going to punish
you and your nepotistic families with failing functions in the human body that
I have previously sustained. Your master will suffer greater humiliation in
order that My glory as the Creator of the world will be glorified the greater.
You meant the entrapment of My chosen ones for evil, but I will turn your
plotting into paths of righteousness and into My good purposes. Says the Lord
your God.”
My
response to God’s righteous anger was to cry out: “Oh dear God to prophesy in the
introduction of a book is bad journalism. Why could this revelation not be the
finale of this exposition.” God smiled in response to my
outburst as He hugged me. Do you know God as Father as I do? During the
sleepless night hours have you been cuddled and reassured over your
uncertainties by Him?
Unlike the reprieve of Nineveh no pleading will
delay what God has decreed must now take place. God revealed to me at the
Wailing Wall in 1993 the circumstances leading to World War III through
prophecy (see page 204). The European Union (EU) riding roughshod over the
constituted laws of its member nations and totally ignoring their own Human
Rights legislation has decided to implement a regional policy of control. Dear
Christian reader, European Christians are about to face persecution from an enemy that is controlled by Satanic
influences. I am dreading the increasing levels of
persecution that Christians, throughout what is known as Christendom, are about
to endure as prophesied, but our suffering is not a question of choice, but of
tempering.
This book is primarily focusing on the Second Coming of Christ, to encourage the vacillating insecure Christian to
persevere determinedly with a good heart in the ways and purposes of God. In earlier editions of Wake Up! I
had chosen to withhold some of the details of revelations received by me mainly
because I sensed that the information and revelation to hand was incomplete or
because my interpretation of events appeared to be too improbable to be likely
to come to pass. Quite often I have received a revelation a second
time in an alternative presentation and at other times the one dream is
repeated to emphasise its importance, or I receive an amplification of the
revelation later, having contemplated but not quite grasped its ultimate
significance. Invariably I am driven back to passages in the Bible for a
broader view of what God has revealed to His prophets. God is
warning His children of the urgency of the perilous times we are living through
and the need for repentance; coupled with a greater commitment to spread the
gospel as widely as possible before the time of the Rapture. I believe that
following World War III breaking out, the unholy trinity will emerge and be responsible for bringing the warring parties
into an uneasy form of peace acceptable to most world statesmen. Since America’s invasion of Iraq God has called me to publish further
editions of Wake Up!
to pass later Biblical revelations
and discernment of which I have received. I am aware from information on
the Illuminati, Freemasonry
and the New Age movement contained in other
author’s books to investigate further. The general public do not
realise how far they have been misrepresented and deceived by the self‑perpetuating
political leaders imposed on the general public in Europe.
I prophesied in the
fourth edition that one of the instigators (conspirators?) of the Oslo
Accord was to die before Hanukkah 2004, and that the death of other instigators would
occur before Pesach 2005; a
prophecy since fulfilled. Norwegian Foreign Minister Johan Joergen Holst aged
57 years, at the pinnacle of his political career, died having hosted 14 secret
meetings in Oslo. Chairman Yasser Arafat, Pope John Paul II and Ezer Weizman, a former president of Israel,
also died. Perhaps former President (Pres.) Clinton’s heart did stop during the heart
attack he suffered in 2004. Mr Shimon Peres, Mr Mahmoud Abbas and others of the
‘Norway plotters’ will surely die before the Roadmap Plan (more latterly known as the Geneva Accord,
the further partitioning of
Israel) is implemented,
perhaps by assassination as did PM Yitzak Rabin (see page 222 ). I
also wrote in the fourth edition of a tsunami of nuclear-sized proportion and
of more tsunamis to follow during the last period of the Great Tribulation and until the Day of Judgement.
The loss of life in other ‘natural and man-induced disasters’ would be one
hundred times greater than experienced through the Papua New Guinea tsunami,
the floods in China (see page 270), and the Izmit earthquake (see footnote 262).
I have detailed my
understanding of the calendar of world events from the signs I have discerned
from the Bible of the approaching events yet to occur. Without
wishing to appear dramatic it is quite possible that I will not be alive at the
Rapture of believers,
for those who impose the New World Order of global governance will label my book as criminally
and racially offensive and an
incitement to the self-perpetuating hatred and violence of extremists. Deemed as such by ‘politically correct’ (PC) laws and perhaps silencing my argument through laws
yet to be passed. Perhaps a religious fatwah leading
into martyrdom might be called
against ‘Christian bigots’ as I myself will be called. But regardless of any
personal threats, I know I must be true to the commission entrusted to me.
Where
I have used the word ‘paraphrased’ I am writing of my own understanding of the translation of
Bible passages. Wherever I attribute any thought or action to a nation or an
organisation, I am writing of the leadership (elected or otherwise) that
determines policy. I
have not used the term AD (anno Domini - after Christ) when quoting 19th and
20th century dates, except where I consider that the usage
facilitates the flow of my thoughts. Where I have referred to dates in earlier
centuries I have used the terms AD or BC (before Christ) rather than using the
terms CE or BCE (to indicate Common Era or Before Common Era which are not used
in everyday language). Where I have introduced
an abbreviation I have continued to use the term throughout. It may be
necessary to turn to the Glossary for the full title.
I wrote almost 220,500 words in the fifth edition
and this sixth edition has 247,000 words. For fear of mockery, in earlier
editions I had been reluctant to state from a revelatory word of knowledge received, that Jesus
Christ was to return following an uneasy peace at the cessation of World War III, a war that I believe
will commence before Rosh HaShanah
2008. My prayer is that
my readers will be compelled to search the Scriptures for themselves, to
ascertain the veracity of what I have written. In the time remaining I hope you
will receive Holy Spirit revelation as to how you may choose to direct your
endeavours in winning others to Christ.
Some prophecies I have made that have been
fulfilled include:
1.
the handing over of Bethlehem by Israel’s government
to the Palestinians.
2.
the election of Mr Netanyahu to the premiership of
Israel.
3.
a major attack on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon
by an extremist organisation.
4.
Devastating climactic disturbance occurring in
America resulting in a great loss of life (footnote 378).
5.
An attempt by an Islamic suicide bomber to blow up a
UK airport (foonote 317).
6.
the refusal of an Arab power previously supportive
of Israel, to allow access for American forces to attack Saddam of Iraq.
7.
the failure of the Oslo
Accord.
8.
The proposal of the Quartet formulated in 2000 to
form a Palestinian state within Israel’s current borders (page 166).
9.
A tsunami of nuclear proportion (page 264).
10. The building of the fence of separation between Arab and Israeli land
(page 207)
11. The death of a
number of the instigators of either the Oslo Accord, or the Roadmap Plan (aka
the Geneva Accord that will supersede it, pages xii and 209) before the partition plan is implemented.
Some of the prophecies still
awaiting fulfilment, but clearly awaiting God’s sanctioning are:
1.
The appearance of the two
witnesses before partitioning (page 214).
2.
An invasion by either America or Israel on Syria or
Iran before partitioning (page 244)
3. The imposition of a ‘Caesar’, to administer the Temple Mount, in a divided Jerusalem on behalf of the New World Order. (footnote 305 and page 318).
4. The commencement of the meltdown of the world’s economy. (page, 250).
5.
The isolation of America, and the attempt to
bankrupt the nation (page 270).
6.
The
recognition of the Oslo Accord, the Roadmap plan, or the Geneva Accord as
the ‘unholy covenant’ of Daniel Ch 9:27 (pages 103 and 166).
7.
The
first President of the Federation of the EU could be the ‘host’ of the Beast
out of the Sea (page Error!
Bookmark not defined.). Alternative contenders include Tony Blair
and Kofi Annan the former Secretary-General of the UN (anan in Hebrew means
‘sorcerer’) or the incumbent President of America.
8.
The introduction and
imposition of electronic surveillance and/or identity cards to control trading
by the EU (pages 307
and 314).
9.
A
major earthquake in Jerusalem
10. A series of
earthquakes throughout the Middle East but causing shaking in Jerusalem, which
will ‘swallow or divert’ the Euphrates (page 336).
11. Jerusalem
becoming an international city (page 164).
12. The Rapture of
believers (from their graves and for those living at the time of the Great
Tribulation from wherever they are located) during the
Feast of Tabernacles between 2007 and 2014 at the Second Coming of Christ (page 64).
13. The
disestablishment of the Church of England (footnote 332).
14. The removal of ‘free’ NHS treatment of
communicable diseases
for the socially unregenerate (page 278).
15. The legitimising of euthanasia and the
withdrawal of food and fluids from patients suffering irreversible brain damage
(page 286).
16. Russia joining
the EU (page 246).
17. The dismantling of the North Atlantic Treaty
Organisation (NATO, page 246)
18. An attempted revolution in (greater) Albania
(footnote 241).
I pray that this first Chapter is helpful in
convincing the sceptic of the truth of a Biblical Flood, that mankind is
covenanted to God through a ‘family’ (spiritual) relationship that may well be
rejected from a secular pragmatically reasoned theory that cannot accept the
‘concept’ of a relationship with a divine Being. Throughout this book I will
seek to prove to the atheist (that is the name by which non-believers in any
god is known) that the Trinitarian God is alive and reigning. I will also
attempt to persuade believers in other faiths that the Triune God is the only
God that has ever existed. Perhaps my reader should turn to footnote 130 at this point, where I have written of the
mathematical significance of the Bible codes, which are not present in any
other faith’s sacred book. The account of the birth of civilisation in Genesis
Ch 1-Ch 2:1-4, established by the Creator presents a synopsis of both the
principles of Creation to Shabbat
(translated into English as the ‘Sabbath’ and portrayed as the seventh day of
Creation). The Genesis Ch 2-3 account was explicitly dictated by the Creator
God to institute and sanctify marriage between man and woman whilst
establishing the principle of the headship of the male over the female in
authority in every family, and accountability of the male to his Creator. Eve was formed from Adam’s rib to be his helpmate (wife). Eve’s
relationship with the patriarch established the authority given to man in every
partnership since. The seventh and final day is not part of God’s
‘working’ week of Creation, having no starting morning nor ending to the day.
The availability of superior technical and scientific equipment in recent years
has revealed many previously concealed secrets.
The Moon was placed in our solar system as a
faithful witness (Psalm 89:37) to man’s prosperity and will prosper in the
heavens as long as the righteous prosper on Earth. The Moon was placed in our
galactic solar system, together
with the Sun in their controlled orbits to provide the
balancing forces of nature for our solar system in order that each planet’s
gravitational pull are balanced through their complementary magnetism to each
other. In our galaxy there are three pairs of
planets having a rapid-spin rate: Mars and Earth, Jupiter and Saturn and
Neptune and Uranus, each pair within 3° (degrees) of each other in their
uniformity (that is equivalent to their size, positioning, axis tilt, etc
(etcetera).
NASA’s Viking space
missions to the Moon discovered that a 10 centimetre (cm) layer of cosmic dust
particles covered its surface (as was later similarly found on Mars). The
scientists concluded that both of these planets were formed at the same instant of time
but I found myself wondering if there could be some other explanation.[2]
I believe the different measured amounts of
cosmic dust in other planets of the galaxy, may mean that their radiation
fields are more able to resist receiving the same level of penetration of
extraneous materials, or it may be that the theory that God introduced a
space/time continuum containing planets from any solar system being put to one
side until God ‘introduced’ a planet into any galaxy of His choosing in an instant of time.
An alternative to a space/time continuum could be God judiciously and when
necessary creating a cryogenic canopy, as a kind of protective umbrella around
planets in their orbits to protect them from external bombardment. Geologists have
concluded from the radiometric dating of rock (granite) that Planet Earth is at
least 4.5 billion years of age. They have
determined that nickel, uranium and silicon dust particles enter Earth’s
atmosphere at the rate of 14.3 million tons per annum.[3]
God rhetorically claimed in Job Ch 38-39,
that mankind will never be able solve the wonders of His creation, which
includes the postulations of the most learned of scientists.
Planet Sedna, the oldest
star discovered in our universe, is located on the extreme edge of the Milky
Way some 36,000 light years from Earth but this star is part our galaxy and many
Christian scientists believe this star to have been created some 13 million
years ago. This star (number HE 0107-5240) is calculated to weigh hundreds of
times more than celestial bodies discovered in any other galaxy. Sedna, some 8
billion miles from Earth, is the tenth planet to be discovered in our solar
system. This information supports the theory that The Lord has plucked certain
planets that fulfil His purpose for them, polishing them, to be used in a
designed network of planets, which are featured as a necklace, against a
midnight blue backdrop, in one of the galactic solar systems. It has recently
been calculated that Sedna’s elliptical orbit around the Sun takes 10,500 years
to complete. I cannot believe that such a large planet as Sedna
could have suddenly entered our solar system without causing mass catastrophes
throughout the solar system. Therefore it is feasible that Sedna (which is not the oldest of our planets) must always have been part of our solar system, but
deliberately hidden from view, to fulfil some objective of The Lord. The solar rotation system must be very old, I imagine that our galaxy
was circulating long before Planet Earth was formed and introduced into orbit.
I sense that the spaces now occupied by the fields of density and magnetic
attraction may have been allocated centuries before Planet Earth and perhaps other
planets were placed into the solar system, when the ‘recently’ allocated Sun
(the greater light to govern the day) to regulate the speed and passage of the
orbiting solar system (as a watchmaker might regulate a time-piece). Long before
mankind was created, God created the panoply of stars in the sky for man to
enjoy and wonder over what omniscient Being could create such an enormous
wealth of awe-inspiring beauty, apparently conceived purely for mankind to
enjoy.
Scientists have located in our solar system
1,700 asteroids approximately 1 km in size, travelling through space in our
galaxy at 100,000 miles per hour (mph). There are more than 1 million asteroids
approximately 90 m across. If the magnetism of the Earth draws just one such
asteroid into Earth’s atmosphere on impact it would destroy the largest of
cities or even decimate a continent.[4]
A report concerning a fall of meteorites over France on 24th July
1790 AD, was the reason why in 1803 scholars and scientists accepted as fact
the phenomenon of space
fragments and asteroids impacting Planet Earth; much evidence has been recorded
of such events (see footnote 41). Smaller and innumerable pieces of substance
occasionally ‘shower’ areas of Earth but invariably do not get reported by the
media.
Atheistic scientists proclaim that evolution is a
naturalistic type of belief-system, totally denying a universal God. They pour
scorn on the Biblical version of the creation of Planet Earth expounded by the
Creationist reasoning the proposal that creation occurred only 6,000 years ago
over a six-day period is not believable.[5] They theorise
that humanity evolved from an ignition of dissimilar inflammable chemical
compounds, colliding in space with sufficient force to split into a new type of
molecule. Non scientific atheists accept this explanation, because it supports
their belief that God does not exist. The controversial
argument over the theory of evolution
of the species has beset the scholarly world since 19th century
Darwinism and is taught in our schools as incontrovertible truth. Evolution is
an ameliorative support of others to deny God’s existence but nevertheless it
was God who created all life-forms into being out of nothing, just by His
commanding their existence. ‘Theistic evolutionists’ have a
belief in a master Creator who may have been involved at the birthing of the
universe but acting only as a watchmaker might, but taking no further part in
its future developments. Reincarnationists and those of other faiths follow
this unsupportable philosophy.[6] They maintain
erroneously that God created through the evolutionary process, which then
guided the cycle of outworking of development of a soul in an established
mankind, as a completed work. The belief of the theistic evolutionists
side-steps the controversial dating of the birthing of mankind.
Until the advent of space
investigation cosmologists had theorised that the heat engendered at the ’big
bang’ and radiated from the ignition point of the Creation explosion emanated
from an infinitesimal point. The intense heat generated would have cooled
rapidly but uniformly in a similar way that a heated oven on its door being
opened, releases its trapped heat throughout the ‘kitchen’. The cosmologists
measured the amount of helium in heavy-element deficient galaxies, so distant
from Earth that their existence predates evidence of significant stellar
burning, and established that following the impact, which results in a nuclear
explosion, greater amounts of helium are produced than were present prior to
the explosion, which later change in nature into more exotic elements.[7]
Cosmologists have discovered evidence of a ‘black hole’ in our galaxy[8]
and believe that there may be others as yet undetected.
The
astrophysicists of the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) research team detected
fluctuations in the background radiated heat which had been uniform, cool,
smooth and low in temperature, suggesting that 25% (per cent) of the hydrogen present at the explosion
was turned into helium between
the first 20‑seconds and four minutes from the initial explosion,
resulting in neutrons fusing together to form elements heavier than hydrogen,
helium, or lithium. Astrophysicists have concluded that only a rapid cooling from an intensely
high temperature could have resulted in a gaseous mass becoming 1a supernovas, having a ‘built in’ magnetic force field. 1a
supernovas may have initially been
comets, asteroids, or meteorites
that on passing a ‘liquid’ satellite drew an immense tide of matter from the cooling
mass. On amalgamating and coalescing forming a larger mass that on cooling
became a ‘solid’ planet. This circumstance is known as the tidal theory. These
1a supernovas were the
earliest of stars are identified by the name ‘Population
III’ stars, and found to be composed of a
chemical mixture of c72%
hydrogen, 25% helium and 3% of heavier elements, which on cooling turn into liquid before solidifying
into what scientists have named as ‘exotic’ matter. To measure the speed of cosmic expansion the astronomers
at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the Space Telescope Science
Institute of Maryland plotted the localities of the most ancient of supernovae.
They found that the small differences between nearby and more distant type of
1a supernovae, which were among the first solid masses to form in space on the
gases coalescing, did not indicate their distance from Planet Earth at the time
of their formation.[9]
In January 1990 American astrophysicists confirmed
the findings of the COBE satellite exploration team, that, assuming that the
speed of light has always been constant, all matter, energy, time and the
dimensions of space burst forth at the creation explosion. The team calculated
the creation explosion as occurring some c15-20
billion years ago. The constant release of temperature, density and pressure,
provides a reasonable explanation of how the galaxies were formed and have held
together through supportive interconnected gravitational forces. The light from
the most distant galaxy in the universe has travelled great distances through
space measured in light‑years before reaching Earth. The close similarity
to a perfect radiator energy through radiated heat, suffering initial enormous
energy degradation following the initial explosion of power enhanced the belief
that, at the creation of the universe, every
particle of matter and energy that was initially created (the fundamental
building blocks of matter and energy) was limited by the combined strength or
presence of all other natural forces of energy. Some level of non‑uniformity
would have been necessary to explain how star-clusters, galaxies and eons later
clusters of galaxies were formed, but the COBE Differential Microwave
Radiometers used to measure temperature fluctuation were not accurate enough to
plot the path of the earliest expansion of the universe. In April 1992, using a
second satellite probe (almost 100 times more precise) the astrophysicists were
able to reinforce their earlier deductions.
In a binary system a ‘white dwarf’ star does not
become a supernova until the solar mass of a neighbouring star is drawn into
the orbit of the greater magnetic power of the larger solar mass. The Earth’s
sun was formed from the scattered ashes of Population II stars, which I believe were
placed into a space/time continuum until God chose to start the solar system
(Genesis Ch 1). Joint research programs provide confirmation that the rate of
expansion of the universe was slowing down for the first 8-9 billion years of
its history and accelerating over the last 6‑7 billion years.[10]
In September 1994 the Keck telescope (the world’s
largest optical instrument) was commissioned and has (together with the Hubble
Space Telescope) enabled astronomers to produce a proposed photographic image
(or picture) from a Microwave Map of the
universe at 300,000 years of age when light first separated from darkness before any stars
existed, of the history of the universe that spans the years
since that initial explosion, demonstrating that the universe is between 14.5‑14.9
billion years of age, not far from the conclusions of COBE’s scientists who produced the ‘opening pages’ of this ‘universal scrap book’,
featuring the universe at 0.5‑1.5 billion years of age (equivalent to
infancy) before the gases coalesced and condensed into solid matter some
500,000 years following the Creation explosion. Subsequent ‘pages’ reveal the
newly formed galaxies in a youthful universe. Later ‘pages’ show pictures of a
fully developed universe, at which time nearly all known galaxies had ceased
forming new stars and collisions within galaxies became less frequent.
In
April 2000 the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) released
results of their conclusions from the ‘Boomerang’ high altitude balloon
experiment, proving that the universe has a flat geometry and with that
certainty the researchers were able to calculate the total density of the
universe (mass density plus ‘space energy’ density also known as [aka] the
cosmological constant). Further research has proven that the space energy
density component is c70-80% of
the total content of the cosmos, which is approximately four to five times
greater than the mass density initially released; from which it can be deduced
that most of the mass of the universe is ‘exotic’ in nature, consisting mostly
of particles that travel at a slower rate than the speed of light. NASA’s
cosmologists are confident that future teams of scientists will substantiate
their theories on the formation of the universe during future exploration.
Old Testament Jewish scholars wrote of ten dimensions, six of which although co‑equal,
collapsed or
folded into themselves at Creation into a size so small that they became
inaccessible and outside of mankind’s understanding of the
‘natural’ or explainable realm of the universe;
leaving only the recognisable dimensions of length, depth, height
and time.[11]
In what has become known as the ‘September 1984 Revolution’ two American
theoretical scientists, Michael Green and John Schwarz determined that the accepted theory of points
of interconnection between gravity, relativity and quantum physics, was not a
navigational point but a string of loosely
connected coincidences of ‘duality’. They believed in a unified ‘Theory of Everything’,
calculating that there must be a mathematical relationship (as yet unfathomed)
between gravity, relativity and quantum mechanics and between the known and the
unrecognisable in the natural realm (discerned through further improved
sophisticated equipment by more experienced scientists) for their successful
coexistence in a multi‑dimensional universe. This all encompassing theory
is known as the ‘M‑theory.
Most modern day scientists and some theologians accept the linkage between the
mathematical relationship of five quite different theories of ‘superstrings’
each one describing exactly the same physics despite the lack of testable
predictions. Scientists could not know how the Creator might use a universal
continuum of space/time dimensions ‘supernaturally’, sometimes halting,
reversing, or fast‑forwarding time to fulfil a preconceived systematic design.
God does advise mankind throughout the Scriptures that such options were
available to Him.
The imagination of some
authors of books and films and TV screens run riot, with aliens living underground
on inhospitable planets, whilst searching the galaxies in spacecraft for a
benign alternative homeland. I have never been able to accept that little green men with huge brains were created in God’s image.[12]
In my youth I read sensational articles featured by the popular press
that had cross‑examined people who claimed that they had been kidnapped
by aliens visiting Planet Earth in spaceships from more distant galaxies. Personally I have no interest in such conjecture, because I believe God
has always intended the galaxies to be a display to please those who search the
night skies, and to wonder at the awesome Creator behind their construction.
Some
space scientists believe that life‑forms could exist and evolve in other
galaxies or other ‘habitable zones’, always providing liquid water was present
or could be manufactured.[13] There are also the
hazards of temperature, density and gravity control, together with a satellite
invasion to take into account. I learned of the research conducted by American Frank Carlisle into Ezekiel’s vision of Chapters 1 and 10.
Carlisle’s analysis suggests that Ezekiel was writing of a technology in aerial
transportation of which Ezekiel could have had no concept and could only
describe what he saw in the most basic of details. Carlisle maintains that
angelic beings during Christ’s ministry on Earth were transported in spaceships
(that were referred to metaphorically in 2 Kings Ch 2:11 as ‘angelic chariots
of fire’) under God’s direction. Furthermore some
scholars speculate the Nephilim were fallen
angels but angels are spirit Beings with no reproductive organs. The Nephilim
who are referred to in Genesis Ch 6:4 as the ‘sons of God’ had sexual
appetites towards ‘earthlings’ and were presumed to have fathered the Amalekite
race, who were of gigantic size. Some scholars have speculated that the Nephilim
may have been an earlier creation of God than mankind, aliens who were created
on another planet. It is intimated in Job Ch 1:6 that Satan and his followers,
who I assume to be the fallen angels, were called by God to a ‘confrontational’
meeting. My readers will need to investigate for themselves further, perhaps
drawing their own conclusions through sending an email to [ezekielswheels@cox.net].
Perhaps it may be difficult to believe a loving
heavenly Father would place our solar system in such a chaotic unpredictable
environment, but in Matthew Ch 5:45 Jesus said that God causes ‘His sun’
to rise, implying that Earth’s solar system has been especially installed in
order to sustain God’s creation, and to warn mankind when transgressions need
to be corrected. I believe Christ’s statement refutes the view of many
scientists, that life-forms exists in other galaxies.
Equally
fascinating is the report that scientists from the Cambridge-based British
Antarctic Survey have drilled 3 km into the ice at a most inhospitable site
known as Dome C, with average surface temperatures of minus 54°c (centigrade). It is believed that the solid bedrock is only 100
metres
(m) beneath the latest drilling, which despite
difficulties the scientists expect to reach quite soon. From the samples of
matter trapped in the ancient frozen air within the ice cores, palaeontologists
have been able to distinguish what they
believe to be eight different ice-ages that have occurred between interglacial
periods over the last 1 million years. Many Bible believing folk
believe that vegetation and animals were created many eons before any ice-ages
took place. I imagine that all the ice-ages had been caused through volcanic activity blotting out the sun, resulting
in heat loss causing the seas to freeze over. It has been proved that the last
ice-age was caused by the known eruption of the super volcano in Lake Toba in
Sumatra, Indonesia c70,000 years
ago, which is believed to have led to the extinction of the dinosaurs.
Presumably the seven earlier ice-ages developed
in a similar way.
It is known from laboratory
tests on blue-green algae fossil (which provided oxygen) that the oceans must have been living organism as far back as c3 million years ago. Therefore the seas must have originated prior to any of the ice-ages.
The algae
formed through photosynthesis on the surface of the waters and any other plant
life also emitted oxygen into the atmosphere. Following the final ice-age God ‘baptised’ and
therefore purified Planet Earth, for only following the final ice-age did God
order the sea to retreat to demarcated boundaries. The purification was done in
order to create the Garden of Eden, and ‘cleanse’ the soil used to create Adam.
Many scientists believe that water had been a solvent created in some form or
other throughout the universe. But I believe that from the time of the cooling
star that we call Planet Earth being placed into orbit, long before the ice-ages
started, God provided the source of water vapour and moisture enhancing
humidity, which formed into huge rain clouds, holding literally millions of
gallons of water formed from tiny droplets, created by temperature differences
carried through currents of air (as has happened since the Flood). As clouds rose even higher into the rarefied oxygen-deficient atmosphere the moisture in
them congealed into ice. The base of the
clouds closest to earth contained more oxygen and on the ice melting would have
fallen as rain, hail or snow onto the lands beneath, supplying
nutrients to God created vegetation and fruits to feed His personally designed
and fashioned menagerie of animals, reptiles, insects and birds, that would
thrive in their habitation and then mankind was created. By the time of the
fashioning of Adam, ice caps and ice floes
would have been formed that on thawing pushed their way towards the warmer
climates, in a continuous process. At
various spots around the world, traces of five separate ice sheets (or frozen
deserts), have been recognised from the huge accumulation of stone moraines
that have been found, which originated from the time of the frozen deserts,
when the ice sheets pushed their way towards the warmer more moderate latitudes
where they melted.
Planet Earth is situated in a particularly
providential place for life to exist within an orbit located in what
astronomers refer to as the ‘habitable zone’. The Sun is 93 million miles away
from Earth and provides the source of life. If it were any nearer the
temperature would be too hot to sustain life and if the Sun was further away
blood would not circulate (mankind would freeze to death). The atmosphere and
magnetic field are sufficient to protect the Earth’s surface from harmful
radiation and the moderate heat from the Sun does not endanger fresh water
collection or circulation on Earth. The Moon (the lesser of the two great
lights), is c250,000 miles from
Earth. If it were any closer the tidal forces would be massive causing
inundation at every high tide. God positioned the Moon to govern the tidal
movement for without regular flushing the otherwise stagnant un-oxygenated
waters, the ultimate death of Creation would follow. I believe that standing
beside His throne God spoke Creation into being, standing with one foot on His
footstool that became Planet Earth, which He has determined to be the centre of
the universe. Every star in their multitudinous galaxies could not possibly
have been counted by a super computer, let alone Abram, but the Father planted
them as flowers placed by His very Word of commandment.
Many Christians have accepted the hypothesis that
miscellaneous genes (of unconvincing origin) evolved naturally into Homo sapiens, whilst other genes
mutated into stronger types of vegetation or more enduring forms of animal
life. However life-forms on Planet Earth prior to humankind being formed in
God’s image and the degree of precision needed to sustain that life, could not
possibly have been provided by evolution. The belief in the survival of the
fittest animal through evolving into a better equipped species to resist
predators and climate change is not realistic. From the specimens of skeletal
remains of dwarfs and giants exhumed and the great age attributed to them, it
could be construed that early prototypes of earthlings had evolved from animal
species. A skull of what was believed to be a Neanderthal was found in
Gibraltar in 1848, as was a skeleton exhumed in 1856 in the Neader Tal valley
near Düsseldorf, Germany. Many anthropologists hypothesise that during an
earlier ice-age, an anthropoidal creature may have evolved into a race of
Neanderthals which may have been exterminated by the first Homo sapiens. Perhaps
any creature living in any of the ice-ages were manufactured and scientifically
constructed by Lucifer, who may have been given permission by God to carry out
experiments, but that is supposition.[14] Globally some skeletal remains have been found of humanoids that from
the appearance of their bone structure suggests that they had walked upright,
whilst their brains were larger than those of early humans. In 2001
archaeologists in Australia excavated the fossilised bones of a female humanoid
that was believed to have walked upright, calibrated as being 42 inches in
height and c3½ million years of
age. This discovery does not confirm the theory of
an amphibious crawling creature that later evolved into a tree‑climbing
ape whose descendants evolved into man. If such a hypothesis was correct all
earlier specimens of monkeys may by now have evolved into humans! The
nitrogenous compounds of all creatures are identical, indicating that they were
all fashioned from the dust of the earth. However geneticists found that the
mitochondrial deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) extracted made no genetic
contribution to ‘modern’ humans. The investigations did match the chromosomes
of bipedal primates (anthropoids), therefore Neanderthals cannot be related to humankind.[15] Pope John
Paul II pontificated ‘ex‑cathedra’ (Latin meaning ‘from the throne’)
that God may have placed
a living soul into a creature that evolved into a humanoid which the Master
Creator found acceptable to be changed into His own image.[16]
I can understand an atheistic scientist not accepting God’s specific word but
surely the Pope can believe in the evidence of DNA!
Mankind can only guess at what transpired on Planet
Earth in the epochs prior to God populating it with His always intended
creation of humankind fashioned in His own image. Carbon dating does give
credence to the belief in an earlier date for Adam’s life. However it is
illogical and irrational to believe that the gills of a fish and the lungs of a
porpoise, the antennae of a moth and the radar of a bat occurred ‘by chance’. A
Master Creator developed all the magnificent variations of nature ‘after their kind’ and
at the time He designated. It is possible that Lucifer experimenting with
cross-fertilisation or through bestiality through mind-control (hypnosis)
undertook creation of life experiments, just as some scientists are trying to
create today. Modern-day scientists can create life and may have a greater
knowledge than available to pre-Flood mankind. It is true that many ancient
constructions have been unearthed, leaving modern-day designers puzzling over
the fete of implementing such constructions.
In Morocco a discovery
was made of a hoard of 500 double-edged axes each weighing 8.5 kg, 20 times
heavier than a man of today’s average height could wield. Anthropologists have
calculated that to use the axes as a working tool, a giant of even proportions
would have to have been 4 m tall and weigh approximately 250 kg. In Australia a
cache of adzes, hand axes, chisels, and knives of extraordinary weight and size
have been unearthed that supports the ‘Moroccan’ find.
In a paper jointly
presented by two physicists, B J Rees and M J Carr, entitled The Anthropic Principle and the Structure of the Universe,
they explained that the geometric mean size (average mass) of the human body
and of every micro and macrocosm contained in the universe, including the
tiniest of protons and the largest of planets is directly proportional to the
mean size of Planet Earth. Every component of a cell is interdependent and
co-dependent, with each proton responding to its specific function. Planet Earth is
uniquely imbued with life-giving water to endow God’s Creation, supporting the
‘anthropic principle’.
The evidence for macro-evolution being the process
by which life forms originated and developed over billions of years is
unconvincing. Macro-evolutionists believe that a bolt of lightning striking and
eliminating any previous specie of developing life-forms, or alternatively
energising them, perhaps through repeated strikes over centuries, caused
mutation of the evolving genes, transforming and sustaining both plant and
animal life asexually, leading to a natural mutation occurring within
organisms. But experimentation carried out under laboratory conditions reveal
that any mutation leads to the specie deteriorating into extinction. Despite
much research chemical evolution has not provided any answers to the origin of
life. That universities, libraries, museums and
schools without equivocation, postulate the evolution of the species does not make
the theory a fact. A team of international taxonomic-believing anthropologists
have declared that every mammal including Neanderthals, Homo sapiens, aardvarks, and
mankind are descended from common living ancestral relative,
genetically similar to the aardvark, which commonly shares the greatest number
of genetic mammalian features. The hypothesis of macro‑evolution
(for that is what the conjecture is) is only a theory that mutations within
organisms occur naturally, evolving through time through various cell changes
into different species in order to survive and develop; my supposition is much more worthy of consideration!
The hypothesis of growth on
an evolutionary tree, which has its roots firmly embedded in non‑living
granite is not acceptable to entomologists, who can provide a great deal of
evidence of co‑dependency of dissimilar species. For example there is one
particular type of fig tree that cannot produce fruit without the co-operation
of the fig wasp. Both tree and wasp had to have been created within the same
week for neither species could have survived without the other. Inside the fig
are ‘closed’ male flowers (a chrysalis) out of which a male wasp emerges. The
male wasp fertilises every unopened female flower before eating its way out of
the growing fig (forming a tunnel), returning to its ‘chrysalis’ where it dies.
The female wasp hatches some time later, at which time she enters every other
flower on the tree, pollinating their ‘anthers’, covering herself with pollen
in the process depositing her eggs onto the female flowers and then she dies.
The annual ‘death cycle’ is repeated at the following seasonal blossoming of
the fig tree. The inherent procedure is very much akin to the ‘bride of
Christ’s generational cycle of evangelists keeping the fig tree alive through
preaching the Gospel. Nuclear scientist Robert W Faid writes in his book A
Scientific Approach to Christianity of the
interdependence of the Pronuba moth with the yucca plant and of many other
instances of dissimilar co-dependent species flourishing, totally rejecting the
random mutation theory of evolution.
I believe that once the final ice-age was over, the
earth was once again bombarded by the heat of the sun and atmospheric
radiation. At some point prior to Adam being formed God purified Planet Earth
supernaturally through cryogenically freezing the waters of the sea and the
waters under the expanse above (Genesis Ch 2:7) created the ice‑canopy,
which acted as a thermal blanket or shield. Extraneous
objects and any harmful atmospheric radiation were prevented from invading the
Earth’s atmosphere, whilst filtered sunrays enforced growth and decay. The ice‑canopy was
engineered to act as a giant fibre-optic, throughout the 24‑hour day;
bestowing the suffused beneficial pink coloured rays at dusk and throughout the
twilight hours, when the direct rays of the sun were hidden owing to the
rotation of the Earth. During the Flood the ice‑canopy was destroyed probably
through satellite invasion and the waters that God had separated homogenised as
before. The Manuscript
Troano records a cosmic tragedy during which oceans fell
(collapsed from heights) on continents, whilst tumultuous hurricanes swept the
planet.
Once
again God sealed the clouds (Job Ch 26:8-14). My prognosis seems to be a
reasonable explanation.[17] God seemingly only ‘put a lid on the planet’
from the Biblical time of Creation, until the Great Flood (Genesis Ch 7:4). God’s ability to do this is spoken of in Job Ch
28:25-26.[18]
The
Hebrew cabbalist Nechunya ben HaKanah believed that God had formulated the
creation of Planet Earth before
creating the universe 15.3 billion years ago, which he named as ‘a concept in the mind of God’. This great tranche of
time was the gestation period that included the birthing of Earth’s solar
system, and the creation of mankind. HaKanah reasoned that the 42‑lettered
name of God encoded into the first 42‑letters of Genesis, represented
42,000 divine days, each one 365.25 terrestrial years in
length (42,000 x 365.25 years = 15.3 billion years). It is written in Job Ch
38:4‑7:
“The
laying of the foundation stone of Planet Earth was watched by the angels, who
shouted for joy at God’s bountiful and consistent mercies.” (paraphrased)
This passage must mean that the angels had been created before the universe was called
into being (existence). Angels are spiritual
beings that can never cease to exist, who were given self will (as was mankind)
in order to decide for themselves whether or not to serve God.
The first phrase of the first verse (v) in the Bible
states: ‘In the
beginning God created’, and the final phrase of the second verse
records: ‘And the Spirit
of God moved upon the face of the waters’, or in the NIV (was hovering over the waters).
My point is that between these two verses millions of years appear to have
passed by. Either way the sum total of numbers derivable by Bible Numerics,
which from this wholly numerical alphabet-based passage points to God as the
author of the Bible. The
late Russian mathematician and Biblical scholar, Ivan Panin held a
Masters Degree in Literary Criticism, and produced a convincing
argument in his interpretation of Genesis Ch 1:1, in explaining God’s covenant
of grace that was offered universally to all of mankind. I have come to believe that mankind’s task for the duration of
unredeemed existence is to procreate and fill the earth throughout the 6,000
years of 120 jubilees of 50 years length (for I believe when God said in Genesis Ch 6:3 that
mankind would in future not live beyond 120 years (which few attain), Surely
The Lord was speaking of Jubilees, see page 64) prior to the seventh day of Sabbath rest
commencing (eternity outside of
time)? But who can be sure of God’s intentions for mankind past
and present?[19] Panin in his book Bible Chronology,
calculated that the Great Flood took place in c2346
BC. Faulstitch dates the Flood as 2470 BC and Bible scholar Arthur E Ware (1885‑1978) in his book The Restored Vision dates the Flood similarly. Based on Panin’s Biblical
expertise and logic, it follows that any Continents not separated prior to the
Flood were formed by 2007 BC, for Peleg (which means ‘division’) was the second
son of Eber and was born 101 years after the Flood, living for 239 years. Tribal languages, customs and ethics were subtly changed and
became particular to various people groups over centuries of time.[20] Distinctive
differences in pigmentation of skin, racial characteristics and bone structure
in build etc were introduced, after the division of the land into continents
and tribes into nations I reached this conclusion mainly due to the fact that unless Noah’s children were married
to half-castes of different skin pigmentation, their children would have been
of the same pigmentation and bone structure as himself, also
the various marsupial breeds of animals were confined to Central and Southern
America or the antipodes.
I speculate that God may have given
permission for Lucifer (aka Satan) the freedom to use the satellite that became
Planet Earth as a place of solitude to compose his music without distraction
and as an auditorium for the angelic choir. This freedom allowed for a place to
develop his creative safari park as a hobby for Lucifer’s own creative and
inspirational pleasure. The omniscient omnipresent God would not have been
deceived, He would have known that Lucifer was building a menagerie of his own
creation. Equally possible is that Lucifer may have experimented with different
animal forms through cross-fertilisation or through artificial insemination
under laboratory conditions (in the same way that Dolly the sheep was created).[21] I suggest that
it may be inferred from Isaiah Ch 14:12-14, that God was so appalled at the
results of the experiments and of one third of His angels supporting Satan’s
rebellion in seeking to establish independence from (if not equality with) God,
that He has imprisoned the rebellious angels on Earth in order to use them to
fulfil His later purposes. Certainly four of the miscreant angels have been
chained ever since at the Euphrates River for their part in the rebellion
(Revelation Ch 9:14). Owing to God’s righteous justice He would not annul
Satan’s tenancy of Planet Earth choosing to leave the decision to Adam’s
progeny, for whom the tenancy had always been intended, of who to recognise as
the god of the planet. No doubt Lucifer contaminated
Planet Earth, which was why it was necessary for the Spirit of The Lord to
hover over the waters of the deep before renewal and purification (Genesis
Ch1:1-2). It has been proved that vegetation was provided on
Planet Earth during earlier ice ages, which provided food for any pre-historic
animal life including Neanderthals and humanoids that perished and were buried.
The huge reservoirs of coal that have been found where there no trees were
thought to have grown, suggests that perhaps The Lord created prior to the last
ice-age, and maybe even earlier. It is unlikely that God would have needed to
experiment with the development of animals over billions or even millions of
years, but perhaps over an ice-age or two, He did purify by successive baptisms
to install that which would be beneficial to Earth and challenging to
scientists and scholars, whilst allowing only 6,000 years of Biblical history
for the full development potential of humanity.[22]
In
1628 AD Dr Harvey discovered the circulatory system of blood (haemoglobin)
could not fulfil its function if the iron atoms in the body surrounded by other
atoms did not receive sufficient current to stimulate the circulation of
oxygen. The life‑producing blood of all vertebrates is oxygenated and
sustained by automatic spin (or mass) of the proton and circulated by the
breath of God, without which the heart could not pump the blood which through
circulation feeds the body. This fact is substantiated by God’s word stating
that ‘the life of the
flesh is in the blood’ (Leviticus Ch 17:11, written c3,600 years ago[23]).
The parabolic orbit of
the ‘angry red planet’ Mars is plotted to be at its nearest point to Earth
every 60,000 years (indicating a greater age of Earth’s solar system than the
10,000 years attributed to its existence by many Biblical scholars and
scientists). American Bible chronologist Gene Faulstitch believes that our
solar system started with the conjunction of the
Moon and the planets, Mercury, Venus, Mars and Earth at 343°, which were within
1° of geometric alignment with each other on the day preceding the rising of
the new moon over Planet Earth at the Spring equinox, when the planets first came into alignment occurring on the 21st
March 4001 BC. He forwarded his computer findings to the Center for Astrophysics at Harvard University in America who agreed
that this alignment did take place. However their affirmation does not preclude
alignments in earlier eons. It should be possible for the computer experts to
trace the first ever solar eclipse seen from Planet Earth. Such research might determine whether the galaxy in which Planet Earth
was placed was developed gradually by uniformitarianism or put in place suddenly through
God’s intervention. The contestable history of
the world’s existence prior to mankind being created in the image of God almost
shipwrecked my already shaky faith in a Creator God! In May 2000 six planets: Mercury, Mars, Pluto, Saturn,
Jupiter and Venus came into alignment with Planet Earth. Astronomers commented
that there has not been a conjunction of this many planets for 6,000 years!
New Age followers believe that the beetle has
evolved into the creature best able to survive a nuclear or asteroid attack,
however the beetle was not made in the image of God. I believe it is not
unreasonable to deduce that there may have been various experiments of humanoid
construction carried out by Lucifer that died on the laboratory table soon
after the experiment. This theory assumes that God allowed the fossils of any
creation not developed by Himself, to be buried on Planet Earth, leaving their
remains to fossilise. The (1 m long) skull
bones of kangaroos as large as hippopotami that have been excavated and the
skeletal remains of koalas and wombats as large as rhinoceros suggest possible
experimenting with genetic engineering by Lucifer or his agents, prior to the
Flood, or even before God created humankind in His image.
On forming into a
cooling star the surface temperature would have
sustained a surface atmospheric pressure of 970 lbs per square inch (lbs psi),
and would have been far too hot to sustain life
even of micro-organism for perhaps billions of years. In 1835 Carl Friedrich Gauss, knowing the present atmospheric
pressure was 14.7 lbs psi. calculated that
the strength of the Earth’s magnetic field halved in intensity every 1,400
years. Calculating empirically from 2000 AD, but in reverse, in 600 AD the
magnetic field had been twice as strong as it is currently, whilst in 800 BC
the atmospheric pressure and temperature was four times stronger. In 2200 BC
the force would have been eight times stronger and in 3600 BC 16 times stronger
than today’s magnetic force. The availability of a space/time continuum would
overcome this objection.
Russian scientist, Dr David Otway-Wray, a specialist
in the theory of quantum mechanics, subjected the Book of Genesis to particle
and solid-state physics and algebraic formula. He concluded that our galaxy
could not be any older than between 6,000-10,000 years of age. The space/time
continuum overcomes this objection.[24] I believe that
this tiny number of years is the length of time that has passed by since God
made mankind in His image, but this leaves the geneticists belief that the
first man so created was an African born 80,000 years ago (see page 18). Australian scientist Barry Setterfield extrapolated
that the speed of light approached infinity approximately 6,000 years ago,
empirically calculating that the decrease in the power of radiation is
proportional to the slowing speed of light (which provides a measurable effect
of the expansion of the universe, a phenomenon known as ‘Red Shift’). American
scientist Dr Robert Gentry has taken more than 200,000 core samples of granite
from various locations around the world at various depths of drilling and
challenged the great age attributed to rock samples by some of his peers. Every
examined sample of varying laminations of granite contained halos of black
flakes (known as mica) scored into its fabric, confirming that radioactivity
had been present at the time of the crystallising of the granite, each sample
had traces of polonium 210, 218 or 214. The half-life of these three materials
respectively is 22 minutes, 3 minutes, or just 164 milliseconds suggesting that
granite was formed in less
than a day.
I
had thought of the Bible only as an interesting storybook on ethical morality,
which the children at school in British society were taught as acceptable
standards of behaviour of ‘British’ culture. I had not thought of the Bible as
a manual on how to conduct my personal life. To my enquiring young mind Jesus
was a legendary saintly man but nothing more than an historical figure, no more
believable than the stories surrounding the legends of Robin Hood or Dick
Turpin. During my mid-teens I attended Sunday school classes but I could not
accept the teachings concerning the creation of the world, the theology of a
tripartite God, the incarnation of Christ nor His vicarious (substitutionary)
death for the salvation of all generations. Equally I could not accept the
theory of the evolution of mankind supported by a wider scholarship taught at
school. I had grown into adulthood not convinced of Christ’s deified
immortality, or that I could enter into a personal relationship with Him. I
accepted the unsubstantiated theory offered by school teachers and Darwinists
who declared that mankind evolved from pre-historic times. I had accepted the
lie propagated by liberal theologians that Adam and Eve were a microcosm of
mankind randomly selected from a greater number of ancient tribes and
civilisations located throughout the Planet to portray the Biblical principal
of following Godly behaviour, and that the Garden of Eden was their fairy-tale
homeland. That Roman Catholics and Jews were excused from attending the morning
prayers at school assemblies, suggested to me that there was alternative
understanding of religious history and worship. As far as I could understand,
the Church of England promulgated the life-style of Jesus and the cultural
behaviour that Jesus’ advocated as worthy of imitation, in order to ensure that
at least in Britain God’s law and order were observed, but the leaders who were
supposed to lay their lives down in recognition of ‘sainthood’ did not fight
their ‘corner’.[25]
In later life I became aware that the established
church has become an anachronism of a previous world order, to whom modern day
political leaders paid scant attention, whilst the religious leaders were
defending their differing doctrinal opinions. Can any Bible-believing Christian
believe that the world‑wide Biblical Flood had
been a localised flood
covering little more than the Middle East? Once I became aware that many civilisations on other Continents
have in their folklore the story of a flood inundating their ancestral homelands; I
accepted that the Great Flood had to have been a universal flood.
Nothing has befallen mankind that God did not ordain or allow. Generally God does not frustrate the intentions even of the most evil of men but rather He allows their malfunctioning through His ‘permissible’ will. In Job Ch:12, God says that even the animals are aware of His ‘hands on’ involvement in every aspect of Creation and redemption; therefore as man has greater intellect than the animals with which he shares natural instincts mankind has no excuse for not recognising God as the Creator.
Spiritualists believe that perfection is completed after several quality lifetimes
lived on Earth. Reincarnationists
differ from spiritualists in that they believe that people may live through
many lifetimes as different life forms, perhaps as a tree or as an animal until
they reach perfection. Reincarnation is central to the belief of Hindus and
Buddhists. Karma is a doctrine that teaches the eternal law of cause and effect
on a moral plane, referring to a debt accumulated against the soul as a result
of one’s actions during an earlier existence. The implication is that if one is
born physically or mentally handicapped, it is due to sin during a past life,
making the doctrine discriminatory towards the handicapped. Reincarnation is a
myth. Man has only one lifetime in which to seek and accept Jesus, following which (at the end of time) they will be judged. Hebrews Ch
9:27-28 states:
“Just as man is
destined to die once and after that to face judgement, so Christ was sacrificed
(once only) to take away the sins of
many people (of every generation) and He will appear a
second time, not to bear sin but to bring salvation to those who are waiting
for Him.”
To those who seek guidance
from astrology, God says in Isaiah Ch 47:13-14:
“Let your astrologers come
forward, those star-gazers who make predictions month by month, let them save you
from what is coming upon you. Surely they are like stubble; the fire will burn
them up.”
God showed clearly that it was Satan who questioned God’s decree and
God asks the question of each of us: "Do you accept that mankind is morally responsible for Adam’s
original sin?"
Mankind corrupted by original sin became an
unregenerate beast of burden, equivalent in stature to
a donkey
(an animal that was
supernaturally used by God to speak His word to the prophet Balaam), so henceforth mankind would govern the Earth, not benignly but by
subjugation. Owing to his ‘Fall’
into ‘original sin’, Adam’s
progeny were as much in need of a saviour redeemer as was Adam. Adam and his
progeny would over their lifetime be able to decide for themselves whether or
not to serve the one true God. Through repentance and application of servitude,
personal faith is born and matures into greater conviction. Becoming ‘born-again’ and sanctified into
holiness, is a once only experience but is part of a process of spiritual
growth. God’s response to Adam’s rebellion was (a) “Who convinced you to
doubt My word?” and (b) “What have you done?”
God asks those questions of each believer of every generation.
In 1930 Austrian
physicist Wolfgang Pauli was ruminating over the mysterious loss of energy in
certain nuclear reactions. He was familiar with Einstein’s ‘special theory of
relativity’ (that any moving particle or mass emitted by the sun embodies
kinetic energy and is capable of conversion into dissimilar atomic or nuclear
particles). Pauli came to the conclusion that there had to be an undiscovered
subatomic particle which carried no electrical charge, so small and light yet
having a force-field, or a magnetic repulse reaction that would deflect against
invasion. Such particles would pass between other moving particles of matter
(atoms), rarely colliding. He named this undetected particle, the neutrino (which means little neutral one).
Pauli’s theory was proven correct when in 1956 two particles collided in outer
space resulting in a nuclear explosion, which was monitored by two physicists
Frederick Reines and Clyde Cowan, at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New
Mexico. That the neutrino oscillates is proof that it has mass, and forms the
greater part of the mass of the universe. Three types (or flavours) of
neutrinos have been identified, namely, electron, muon and tau, which can
oscillate into one of the other types whilst moving almost at the speed of
light. It has been detected that the Creation explosion generated c10 billion neutrinos for every baryon
(proton or neutron) and that the same ratio was produced through impacting with
another satellite.
The Scriptures
do state that a dark chaotic planet existed before God introduced order and regularity,
blessing Earth with a pleasing environment and seasonal variation and laws of
nature that were inviolate. A careful reading of Genesis Ch 1 reveals that God
did not bless the first two days of Creation as ‘good’ (one of which days may
have been the day of Lucifer’s appointment as Prince of the Air, or ruler of the
kingdom, Ephesians Ch 2:2), also God did not create anything on these days, He
only separated that which needed to be divided. God
introduced
light on Earth but His command to separate the darkness from the light was
issued billions of years earlier, only occurring later than the lighting of
many other galaxies (see page 18).
I believe that once God had set the scene of the six days of creation, He
lifted the curtain (as happens in the first act of a play), having a backdrop
of the vista of the night sky that God had ‘painted’ into a moving
awe-inspiring display.
On the third day God separated the seawater from the
land delineating the boundaries of the sea. The sodden land presumably dried
through the effects of a supernatural wind, in a similar manner to the earth
drying following the abatement of the Flood of Genesis
Ch 8:1.[26]
The emerging land was presumably already covered with the enriched soil into
which seeds were easily rooted and germinated. On the fourth day God set the
planets of this galaxy spinning in their magnetised orbits and on the fifth day
the vegetation was created in full flower, fully fruiting to provide food for
the animals and birds (also created on this day). On the sixth day God created
humanity. He rested on the seventh day not because He was in need of a rest
from His efforts but to inform mankind of their need to rest one day in seven, in order
to retain physical and spiritual health (Genesis Ch 2:2-3). There was no
mention of evening and morning, or of the seventh day being ‘good’, for this
day is yet to be completed.
Some astronomers believed
that the tilt of 23.5° of the planet from upright took place at Creation;
others believe that there had been no tilt or a lesser degree of tilt before
the Great Flood.
It is essential for the time taken for Planet Earth to complete its daily orbit
to be of a consistent controlled period of time, in order to establish a
continuous 24‑hour day, but this feature was unnecessary until the
creation of mankind. The formative millennia’s have been deliberately obscured
from human understanding, in order to build up personal levels of faith.
In faith believers in the
Trinity accept that Adam was the first of mankind fashioned from the dust of
the Earth, with whom God made a covenant, on behalf of all mankind. The Adamic Covenant is not mentioned in the Book of Genesis, but Hosea
Ch 6:7 makes reference to this Covenant in detailing mankind’s fallibility and
the waywardness of self-will and instinctive ‘animal reasoning’. The
establishing of Planet Earth and God’s commanding of order out of chaos has to
be the opening argument in persuading atheists that God exists and is a
relational loving Father. Mankind did not evolve into Adam but this does not
disprove that ‘time’ was created perhaps billions of years earlier on God
commanding the appearance of light.
The Bible clearly states
that Adam was the first man formed and that every person born outside of the
Garden of Eden carried the stain of the original sin, which confirms that no
other person fashioned by God had been living on Earth prior to Adam’s creation. It is absurd to believe that life species evolved by chance over vast
periods of (inert) ‘time’ (which is abstract) able to produce life‑giving
properties. It is possible to determine where the first
male was born because the Y‑chromosome is uniquely passed from father to
son (with no input from the mother). My concern is that geneticists have cast
doubts over Adam being the first male fashioned from mud, and his fall into
original sin.[27]
Other geneticists are certain that the first human was an African born 80,000
years ago, which is supported by the skeletal remains found in Africa of a man
believed to have been born some 60,000 years ago. American geneticist Spencer
Wells and Lebanese geneticist Pierre Zalloua believe that the first western
European (Y‑chromosome type, identified as M173) migrated from Africa c30,000 years ago, whilst the first
Mesopotamian (Y‑chromosome type, identified as M20) migrated from Africa c45,000 years ago. The oldest identifying
Y‑chromosome is known as M168. I am bound to point out that at least the
geneticists have established that the world was not populated by clones of the
original Adam strategically placed in every nation. Of course the Garden of
Eden is not located in Africa, so again the origin of mankind’s evolvement is
inconclusive. If the geneticists are
correct there must have been several unrecorded generations before the Flood
and Adam could not have been the first man fashioned by God. Progressive (or
‘step’) creationists believe that Adam
may well have been moulded much earlier than most theologians believe. If the geneticists are correct over the age and birthplace of the first
man, then Adam must have been fashioned in Africa many years earlier than the
Scriptures allow, and then translated to the Garden of Eden. Such speculation
is very theoretical and blasphemous.
God’s intention towards mankind is revealed through
His breathing life into an inanimate clod of mud moulded in the image of the Godhead. Mankind initially
thrived in a perfectly orchestrated, ecologically balanced environment, in
which Planet Earth was sustained in harmony with creation. Adam was wholly
a mortal man. He did not lose immortality through original sin but his progeny
of every generation have been stained by that original sin. God foreknew that
in a similar manner to the fallen angels the human couple would eventually
succumb to their fleshly desires to be as omniscient as God resulting in their
banishment. Adam’s sin of seeking to be as equal to his Creator eclipsed the
previously uncomplicated relationship between the Creator and mankind. God
replaced the fig leaves covering Adam’s anatomy with an animal’s hide, that
would not deteriorate as would a flimsy leaf. Adam’s concern over his nakedness
before God ultimately resulted in Narcissism.[28] This action was an indication of
God’s love and willingness to accept a sacrifice of blood for personal sin
(until Christ’s once-only sacrifice for the sin of all mankind). Cain became
the precursor for the rejected elder brother, seemingly of less importance to
God; except that God does not reject any elder brother, He just occasionally
commissions the younger brother for a lifetime of servitude which is a ‘grace’
appointment. Later the acceptable sin offering was to be a young
bull, whose carcass was to be disposed of outside the camp (Leviticus Ch 4:1-12),
in the same way that Jesus was crucified ‘outside the city walls’ (John Ch
19:17-19). God’s intention for humanity has always been
loving and benevolent, but He imposed the laws of nature upon His creation and
Himself, choosing not to intervene despite the increasing signs of climactic
and racial disturbances.[29]
God created man as the completion of His universal
purposes and splendour, that mankind might breathlessly wonder at the vastness
and beauty of the panoply of the heavens and come to realise that a pre‑existent,
omniscient Being (God) had ordained this creation. God warned Adam of the
consequences of eating from the tree of knowledge before He created
an unnamed female from Adam’s rib. Eve had not
been created at the time of God forbidding Adam to eat the fruit of the tree of
knowledge.[30]
Eve received her warning from Adam and must have often wondered why God allowed
the animals (monkeys), reptiles (snakes), birds and insects (bees, all of which
had been rejected as a help mate to Adam) to eat from the fruit denied to Eve.
Genesis Ch 3:18, 24 confirm that God rejected
bestiality and homosexuality, in that Adam’s
help mate was to be feminine and not a replica of Adam with feminine tendencies.
God made Adam and Eve, NOT Adam and Steve As it states in the New
Testament Eve was deceived by Satan but Adam sinned in allowing Eve to be
influenced by Satan’s overtures to disobey God’s commands. God’s curse of birth
pains (Genesis Ch 3:16-17, over all women), was wrought through the sin of the wife of Adam. She having
no separate identity was named by Adam (v 20) subsequent to the ‘Fall,’ following which time every woman was to
suffer an increase in pain through childbirth, which leads me to believe that
Eve and any other women alive prior to the ‘Fall’ probably produced ‘litters’ of children pain‑free (similar
to other animal species).
It could be construed from Genesis Ch 5:1-5 that
Eve bore sons and daughters both prior to and following the birth of her three
named sons. My belief that Eve conceived several multiple (non royal bloodline
births) prior to and in between the two royal conceptions is based on God’s
injunction to “Be fruitful and multiply throughout the Earth.” This command was for mankind and
animals to obey. But God had to reaffirm this command in Genesis Ch 9:7 for a
global Adamic civilisation who had missed the boat! (please forgive this pun).
It seems unnecessary to record any other birth in the Book of Genesis, that
were outside of the parameters necessary to establish the royal line of succession, but God has deliberately
included Satan’s high priestly line of unrighteous mankind to alert the
discerning disciple of Satan’s duplicity.
If Eve and her daughters
and granddaughters had not already experienced pain‑free births whilst
living in the Garden of Eden how would Eve have been able to recognise the
difference in the level of pain during labour? It seems unlikely to me that Eve
was infertile until Cain and Abel were conceived (as twins,
in that only one pregnancy is written of in Genesis Ch 4:1-2). Cain and Abel
were not of the royal bloodline and their birth may have been preceded and
followed by other non-bloodline litters prior to Seth’s royal bloodline birth,
the Scriptures do not mention such a possibility. Eve becoming pregnant only once
more (on Seth’s birth, 130 years after Creation. If my hypothesis is correct
any children born to one of Eve’s daughters would have been conceived through
incestuous intercourse with one of her brothers or half-brothers, and in later
years their progeny through cousins, none of whom would have been part of the
royal bloodline. Prior to a God‑ordained time in history, blood was purer
than it is today and interbreeding would not have led to mental handicaps.
Possibly every female experienced painless multiple
births before Adam and Eve were banished from the
Garden of Eden or perhaps until the Flood and maybe even until much later in
time.
Having slain Abel, I assume Cain buried the body.[31]
On God
asking Cain the whereabouts of Abel, narcissistic Cain, who today would be
recognised as a hedonist and therefore evil, quite unrepentant, and full of
remorse at being found out retorted “Am I my brother’s keeper?” Cain was saying in
effect “I know heavenly
Father that in the decrees that you have written on the heart of your children,
that the welfare of all created beings should be the concern of each other, but
in my rebellion I chose to act unilaterally.” God said “Your brother’s blood cries out to Me
(for justice) from the ground.” (grave).
Lucifer instigated Cain into a consuming jealousy to kill his twin brother, the
result of his murderous action was that
he became the high priest of Lucifer.[32]
God banished Cain from His presence, for rejecting the Family of God and
eternally seeking the House of an alternative fraternity. It is my belief that
Cain was condemned to becoming a restless wanderer throughout the Earth,
and for eternity.
Cain was blotted out from the Book of Life (as are all those who have rebelled
against God through disobedience Exodus Ch 32:33). In answer to Cain’s plea for
mercy, God placed a mark (probably of 666) on Cain, swearing that this mark
would protect him from being killed or harmed by anyone. Anyone who ignored
God’s mark would suffer God’s vengeance seven times over. The sages spoke of olam haba’, which I understand to be the outcome on humanity to the
inescapable will of God in life
and beyond the grave (Hebrew Sheol, Greek Hades, aka the
underworld), a ‘half-way house’, the realm of the dead, a separated place for
reflection and self-propitiation. Entering Abraham’s bosom is entering Paradise
before entering Heaven.[33]
Adam as patriarch would have developed his teaching
skills in animal husbandry and crop growth and passed them on to his children
and grandchildren. Many of Adam’s progeny would become pioneering explorers.
Adam would have emphasised the importance of producing pictorial information
concerning ‘prevailing local conditions’, for the benefit of those of his
family who would venture into the great unknown in their seeking lands with
greater irrigation possibilities, and easier transportation of goods to the sea
and seaports, or a more amenable climate, perhaps for grazing of cattle, or for
access routes to other Adamic communities, with whom they might trade. P J Wiseman
developed the theme in his book Ancient Records and the Structure of
Genesis that spoken and written language must have been a gift
that was not learned, for Adam and Eve could communicate with each other and
with God. The preserved universal written language was transcribed as
symbols known as hieroglyphics, which originally were recorded on clay tablets
but later on papyrus reed.[34] Adam’s progeny must have embarked across oceans or travelled overland
through various zones to establish links with other Adamic communities who all
spoke the same language.[35] The earliest pictorial messages would have been placed in prominent
positions on trees and rock surfaces. What must be realised is that Adam’s
descendants became communities of civilisations across the world. This more
adventuresome but also more sophisticated progeny would have recorded oral
traditions of the universal Flood for posterity.[36]
Until the Great Flood there had been ten generations
of royal bloodline but only seven of the unrighteous generations, as recorded
in Genesis Ch 4 and 5. I imagine that the unrighteous were given longer
life-spans in order to give them longer to repent. Gen Ch 4:17-24 reveals that
the non-royal line was not counted in generational years. Proud and haughty Lamech, the first bigamist, was the
seventh generation of unregenerate mankind from Adam. His second wife gave
birth to Tubal Cain,
a leading figure in today’s freemasonry (yesterdays [quaint old-fashioned]
devil worship) and a specifically named sister Naamah, Tubal Cain and Naamah
completing a notional ‘divine family’. God’s intention being to draw the
attention of believers to the deception offering an alternative to the Holy
Trinity with Satan at its head. The Lamech
of Cain’s line was evil personified. Lamech confessed that he had
killed in vengeance as had Cain,
furthermore, as master of his own destiny, he would kill 77 times in
retribution for anyone who sought to harm him in any way. In Matthew
Ch:18:21-22 Jesus said that “Forgiveness should be offered not just 7 times but 77 times,”
totally denying personal retribution that is seen in evil Lamech’s statement of
life.
Significantly only the number of years of the
ten righteous generations is recorded:-
1.
Adam in Hebrew means MAN,
he lived for 930 years, fathering Seth at 130 years of age.
