Don't Be Deceived by Chris Whitcomb - HTML preview

Chapter 1.

THE TIMELINE OF GOD.

God is timeless, matterless, spaceless, dimension not limited, from eternity to

eternity, the beginning and the end, the Alpha and the Omega. The Creator of

everything and everyone.

One of the biggest deceptions of Satan is to confuse people with the timeline associated with God and His associated creations. The very first thing that I realised is that God is eternal and is not bound by time, space, and matter. He said that He is the I am. He is the beginning and the end. The alpha and the omega. God is also not limited to three dimensions like us humans but is dimension free. He created space and that is dimensionless. I later also understanding how everything in the universe works, added the 1 and the 0. Gravity is the one force that controls everything from the smallest atoms to the largest star systems, galaxies, and even computers work with 0’s and 1’s. When we do calculations with gravity, we use in the formula, normally 10 and not the 9.81 that science claim it should be. I say gravity is the power of God because He made everything and controls everything in the universe and on earth and in the heavens. When we read in the Bible in Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” and in John 1:1, people automatically assume that that was the beginning of everything. Even of God. But that is not true. In John 1 we read that “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. We know that Jesus is the Word of God who became flesh, but that Jesus was there before the world was as in John 17:5, “O Farther, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was” It also continues in John 1 from verse 2 “The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him: and without him was not anything made that was made. In him was life; and the light was the light of men. And the light shineth in the darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. This is very important to understand what God created on the first day of the Creation in Genesis 1:3 and 4. “And God said, let there be light; and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. (The ruling of the earth from Satan to His Son Jesus.) God could have also said, Here am I, the I am the light of the world) This will be explained later in more detail.

It is clear from this first day of Genesis first few verses that there was some time before these verses. Which I will explain in the rest of this chapter.

One of the ways Satan is using his deception strategy is by causing Bible translators to interpret scripture by using different wording to create misunderstanding. He uses this strategy to hide some important things in the Bible. That is why it is very 6

important to make sure that we understand what the meaning of words are. One of the very important things on the timeline to understand is the meaning of “the people of the old time” (Ezekiel 26:20) and Proverbs 8:22 to 23 “beginning of his way, before his works of old. I (Jesus) was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was”. To explain what I mean look at the following different translations of “the people of the old time”:

 King James: the people of the old time.

 New International Version: people of long ago

 New Living Version: people of long ago

 English Standard version: people of old

 Berean Standard version: people of antiquity

 King James New translation: people of old

 New American standard: People of old.

 Christian Standard: people of antiquity

 Holman Christian Standard: People of antiquity.

 American Standard: People of old time

 Aramac Bible: People of ancient time

 Douay- Rheims Bible: everlasting people.

 God’s word: the people of long time ago,

 International Standard Bible: people who lived in ancient times.

 New American Bible: to those of the bygone age.

 Net Bible: by gone people.

 New Revised Standard Bible: to the people of long ago.

 Afrikaans Bible; mense van die voortyd. (voortyd meaning people from the

pre-time or time before time).

The meaning of this word is very important in God’s timeline, because this period on the timeline explains a lot of my questions about Genisis 1 as well as a lot of other scriptures miss understood by many people. I prefer to call this period in time “the pre-Adamite time.” This refers to happenings and occasions mentioned in the Bible but not timewise clearly defined. Some of these activities or occasions are as follows:

 Jesus was born not as human via Mary, but as the only begotten Son of God

John 3:16. He was set up from everlasting, from the beginning of His way. Before his works of old. I was set up from everlasting from the beginning, or ever the earth was. (Proverbs 8: 22-23)

 Satan (or lucifer before he sinned) was created. (Ezekiel 28:13-19)

 The angels were created even the fallen ones but before they joined Satan.

 Satan was cast to the ground (Ezekiel 28: 17)

 Jesus saw the devil fall like lighting from heaven. (Luke 10:18)

 That by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out

of the water and in the water; whereby the world that then was, being

7

overflowed with water, perished. (2 Peter 3 :5-7) (By these waters also the

world of that time was deluged and destroyed) This was not Noah’s flood. The

world did not perish during Noah’s flood, only all living things upon the earth

accept those living things in the ark. The trees did not perish nor other things

under the water nor plants and grass.

 In Ezekiel 28: Satan was laid before kings, that they may behold thee. (What

kings are the Bible referring to here)

 Tyres the city of the king of Tyre was destroyed “In the time when thou shalt

be broken by the seas in the depths of the waters thy merchandise and all

thy company in the midst of thee shall fall. (Ezekiel 27: 34)

Who wouldn’t like the people of the world to know that there was an earth before the current one who was deluged and destroyed by water. This can only be Satan and that is why he do not want the people of the world to know that. That’s why he influences translators as indicated above to help him deceive the world.

God is not time bound but uses timing and seasons to ordain for our lives, reasons on earth and what has, is and what will happen in God’s plan for humans and other beings in this and other universes. This happens in what we can call previous, current, and futuristic periods of time. We use different names for our own understanding of time periods like ages, years, innings, shifts, turns or whatever we want to define for a time period. All of these have three characteristics namely a start, a duration, and an end. We as humans can determine some of these characteristics like with games, work times, play times etc, but God controls time for everything in heaven and in or on earth. God is eternal. He is the beginning and the end, the Alpha and Omega and from His eternal realm, He controls everything in the universe.

In my research of 35 years into what time periods are mentioned in the Bible, The following periods were identified:

1. Eternity past till the beginning of the pre-Adamite period

2. The pre-Adamite period till its destruction.

3. Period of the earth being empty and void and in darkness. The duration of

this period is unknown. Some scientists refer to this period as the Ice age and give a duration for it but in my research, there was no Biblical proof of it found.

4. The formless and void earth brought back to life again or commonly

deceived called creation instead of the re-creation.

5. Adam made in God’s image to the birth of Jesus in the flesh.

6. Jesus’s time on earth until the cross.

7. The crucifixion. This was such an important time even if it was for a very

short period, it was such an important change in Gods salvation plan that it requires a great deal of investigation, questioning and understanding.

8. Jesus’s and His ascending into heaven.

8

9. The Church age until the second coming of Jesus. 10.The 1000 years of peace when Jesus will be ruling on the earth and over

the whole earth with his chosen bride.

11.Satan turned loose again after the 1000-year rule of peace and let loose to

deceive the people again and to gather the armies of the world for the battle against God at the battle of Armageddon. God’s destruction of them and Satan cast in the lake of fire and brimstone.

12.The great white throne judgement. Second death. 13.New heaven and new earth. Eternity.

In the timeline, I will place the periods in the order that the holy spirit will lead me but also by following what the Bible teaches us of how these periods’ followed Gods timeline He planned for it. In the Bible there is not many chronological orders and many of these periods are mentioned in different chapters of the Bible in both the old and new testaments. One of the clearest chronological orders in the Bible is Jesus’s explanation of what will happen in the last days as written in Mathews 24. I used Jesus’s order of events as the main guideline to fit the other prophecies by Daniel, Revelation, Isaiah and other prophecies into the timeline of Jesus’s.
