From Glory to Glory


From Glory to Glory

HEADLINE

2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

Luke 3:38 Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.

From Genesis chapter one, we see that God created man in His image and likeness.  He made man an earthen clay body and placed him in it.  And by appearance man seemed to be separate and apart from God.  God is the all powerful immortal Spirit who shines brighter than the sun.  But man is weak, fallible, and after a short time, he dies and the body returns to dust.  Because of sin Adam was chased out of the Garden of Eden and thereafter the suffering of man and trial by devils proceeded.

These events have prevented man from knowing who he really is.  Generation after generation of human beings was led to believe that men are not the children of God.  This assumption is based upon the separation caused by sin and the fact that man appears to be mortal and his body can die and return to dust.  By default we could be “saved” and “adopted” to become the children of God.  There are problems with both positions, but IGNORANCE has blinded men from seeing the truth.  A question was posed in the scriptures concerning the status of man.

Hebrews 2:6 But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him? 7 Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands: 8 Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.

Indeed we find that Jesus stated the following:

Matthew 11:25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. 26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight. 27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

From this text “son” is capitalized to refer to Jesus Himself.  Redactors did this in translating the original text to English.  But in the original Aramaic, the word for “son” is not capitalized.  So Jesus, the Son of God, was sent to this earth to teach man his identity, since we never knew it.  We were blinded by events in Adam’s time and by darkness over the succeeding years.

Hebrews 2:11 For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, 12 Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee. 13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me. 14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

Jesus Christ was a special “Savior and Son” who was sent to REDEEM men from the ravages of SIN.  He was always a Son of God who was with Him before Adam’s time.  But he was given a special task to become Father’s Atonement Lamb and remove the sins of the world and of all mankind, John 1:29.  He was to be reduced in glory into human form to be born of a virgin named Mary.  He would maintain his ID and identify himself to the Jews as “the Son of God”, John 10:36.  Jesus was hated and despised by the religious community in his nation and they turned him over to the Romans for crucifixion.

In his ministry Jesus revealed to mankind our true ID in several records in the gospel. Prior to this revelation, the Jews claimed Abraham and declared him to be their father.

John 8:51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death. 52 Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death. 53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?

Matthew 23:9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

Matthew 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

Luke 15:18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, 19 And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. 20 And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. 21 And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. 22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: 24  For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.

The problem for man is that Jesus’ words were not recorded until after his death.  There were no written record of them and they remained only in the minds of the disciples who heard them and witnessed his works.  Today we have the gospels and the writings of the New Testament and Jesus’ testimony for the Spirit’s use to teach and enlighten those chosen by God in each generation.  There is a veil over the eyes of men when they read scriptures which prevents men from seeing the Word clearly and understanding it.

Isaiah 6:9 And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. 10 Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.

Isaiah 29:9 Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink. 10 For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered. 11 And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed: 12 And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned. 13 Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men: 14 Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.

2 Corinthians 3:13 And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: 14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. 15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. 16 Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.

Revelation 5:1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. 2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? 3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. 4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. 5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.

Luk 24:27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. 32 And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?

It takes the true Holy Spirit from Heaven to teach the scriptures to certain select students on earth chosen by the Father.  Not just any man desiring to understand the Word will be given such light even after intense study.  Father chooses and teaches only those He personally selects.


John 3:27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.

Isaiah 40:11 He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.

John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. 14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

Now let us consider Jesus’ testimony in John 8:51-53, Matthew 23:9, and 6:9.  The message for all mankind is that God in Heaven is our true Father.  Your earthly “dad” is not your true Father nor is Abraham the true Father of the Jews.  The true Father of humanity is Creator “God who made us in His image and after His likeness”.  Here are  scriptures from the Old Testament that teach this fact.

Psalm 82:6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. 7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes. 8 Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.

Isa 45:9 Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands? 10 Woe unto him that saith unto his father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth? 11 Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. 12 I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.

Isaiah 63:16 Doubtless thou art our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O LORD, art our father, our redeemer; thy name is from everlasting.

Jeremiah 3:4 Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me, My father, thou art the guide of my youth?

Men could not wrap their heads around the fact that God Fathered all of mankind because of the veil He set over the scriptures.  When we look to the testimony of the Son in the three selected scriptures, we see Jesus bearing the same witness as the Old Testament texts.  But all those scriptures validate that God is the Father of mankind and that we are His sons and daughters even if it is hard for man to buy it!

Regarding the testimony of the Son concerning our ROYAL BIRTH, he declares that “he gave us the same glory” and IDENTITY that he has.

John 17:20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; 21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. 22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: 23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

Enlightened children today do not worry about the question, “What is man that thou art mindful of him”?.  We know the answer.  We are ROYAL SEED, the living spirit-children of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.  Our immortal spirits from our spirit-DNA heritage is our birthright from our Father.  When we emerge from our clay cocoons (human bodies) and RISE into Heaven we will shine with the brightness of the sun as REDEEMED children of God.  That is the glory of God awaiting each of us.

Acts 17:23 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you. 24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; 25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; 26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; 27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: 28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.

Glorify God!

What if you owned a STAR?


What If ….

HEADLINE
________________________________________________________________________

Isaiah 64:4 For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.
________________________________________________________________________

We will now take a fanciful leap into our HEADLINE and drill down on what human eyes have not seen and man’s ears have not heard, things that never entered man’s heart to ponder.  So fasten your seat belt and let’s ride!

Have you ever wondered about what it means to be a “child of God”?  Accept the spirit reality, all men created are the sons and daughters of the Most High God.  Men have been curious about what is really happening in this world, and we speculate about the hereafter.  Many today do not have a grasp on their heritage.  As spirit children of the Father we have His immortal spirit-DNA quality of being eternal beings “created in His image and likeness”.  We have seen the death of the human body (clay mold), but we cannot see what really happens.  The living spirit son or daughter spirit is redeemed and re-made (reborn) upstairs (in Heaven) into the glory of angelic children.  Even that fact is too much for many human minds to concede and grasp.  But it is true anyway despite the doubts of the darkened human mind.

We have been told that we, the children, are God’s stars.  We are children of light, little images of the Great Light (the Father), who shines brighter than the sun.  From modern science we have learned that our earthly sun is a distant star, one of millions and millions in our universe.  It is hot, bright and fiery with a huge mass that is so much bigger than the Earth.  Are you ready to speculate?

And what do you suppose we will be doing for eternity?  Will we be singing, praising and dancing in a never-ending party all the time?  I don’t think so.  Exactly WHAT do we inherit that never entered out heart, our eyes have not seen, which has never been told to man?  You who read the GOOD NEWS are fortunate because you are the first to read this.

It is written that, “You are gods and all of you are children of the Most High”.  When Jesus was going back home, he told the disciples, “In my Father’s house are many mansions” and “I go away to prepare a place for you”.  Let’s deal with “mansions”.  We see in our minds that a mansion is a very large and lavish estate house.  But “mansions” is Sion’s man or Mother’s sons.  So in Heaven the Heavenly Hosts are our glorified (angelic) brothers and sisters.  You cannot count their numbers because they are truly God’s stars.  Jesus was telling us that our family above is exceedingly huge!  He said he is preparing a place for us.  We have learned that in the cosmos the stars are constantly undergoing a metamorphosis of exploding in supernovas and regenerating new stars from star dust.  This is the process by which God creates the matter (chemistry) that is star dust.  All the elements in the periodic table are derived through this process.  There may be new chemicals on distant stars that do not exist on earth.  A real scientist would love to get his hands on some of them and test their properties.  Even today as I write the stars are still preparing new places for residence.  What did I just say?  Will we each inherit a star or a planet for a residence?  As you know, “all that exists” is God.  He is so HUGE and indescribable that the cosmos is within Him.  We live within Him and even so, He has called the planet Earth “my footstool”.  So we actually live inside His foot.  But He has taken a form that pleases Him so we can see Him and appreciate Him as our Father-Creator.  That super-bright Light resides in the Headquarters of the Highest Heaven.  We look like Him having a head, torso, arms with hands, and legs with feet.  Our spirits while in the flesh have our true glory masked so that as long as we are in clay bodies our light will not be seen.  Jesus has been gone from the earth for more than 2000 years and during that time stars have been preparing to be gift “places” for God’s sons and daughters.  How can you be sure, John?!  We will go to the beginning in the Garden of Eden “pattern”.

Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. 29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. 30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. 31 An God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

Adam was given a whole planet to live on and to play on.  It was his to explore, enjoy and build structures on from the resources found in and on it.  God also gave him a mate for a companion named Eve.  This was Adam’s PATTERN HERITAGE, an example of the goodness that we can anticipate from God.  We have seen the kinds of things that we can do with the resources found on this planet.  During the human tenure on the earth-stage, we have gone from stone-age culture to the affluence and excitement of the technology age.  We have gone from walking to space fight even to the moon and back.  This is what it means to inherit the earth and to subdue it.

How many times have you read in the Bible that we are God’s stars?  It has very great meaning.  Adam was just a pattern son to show us what we can expect from our Father-Creator.  The STARS are our heritage, home worlds for each male-female pair to dwell upon and to subdue.  When we are each given possession of our home-house-star, we will need an eternal life to explore it, subdue it and make use of the resources upon it.  You will not need a sun for light because you and your mate will shine brighter than the sun we see in our sky and together you will light up the place.  This will be a tangible, physical gift for you and your companion.  What you will do with it during your eternal life is yet to be seen.

Lucifer and Babylon screwed up while they were residents in Heaven.  They never gave themselves time to learn about the Creator and discover His great goodness.  They and their offspring lost out on having a star all to themselves.  Jealousy, hatred and envy are serious character flaws that led them to sin, warfare, judgment, and destruction.  They will not be a part of our future life.  Father will erase them with fire and ban the memory of their existence to oblivion.

Now that this thought has entered your heart and you have read this idea with your eyes, you have something to think about and discuss with your fellows.  This is what it means “to learn of God”!

Isaiah 42:16 And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.

Isaiah 40:12 Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance? 13 Who hath directed the Spirit of the LORD, or being his counsellor hath taught him? 14 With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him the way of understanding?

Isaiah 45:3 And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.

Psalm 91:14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. 15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. 16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

Glorify god!

Physician Heal Thyself


Physician Heal Yourself

HEADLINE
_______________________________________________________________________

Luke 4:23 And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country.
_______________________________________________________________________

Anyone who is a prophet must predict something that will happen in the future.  And the occurrence of the event must not be ambiguous.  It must be clear and undisputable.  Every eye must be sure that the event predicted has happened.  When the event takes place, then all will know for certain that a prophet was among them.

You see what our HEADLINE is saying, “Physician heal thyself”.  Let it be known to one and all that every eye shall see it happen.  You have heard of my Father God as the “Creator of all that is”.  Some of you know my Father as the Supreme Judge presiding over the Heavenly Court.  Some of you have heard of His glory as the King of Kings and Lord of lords.  My Father is known by many names.  Some call Him, Elohim, Yahweh, Jehovah, and some call Him Allah.  Others refer to Him as the Great Spirit.  He is also known as the Teacher of Righteousness.  And this great Teacher left a written record behind so that the generations of men might learn of Him.  In the Bible it says that “God is the Father of all men”.  He dwells in men and walks in mankind.  In the GOOD NEWS, we find that God never left men in the pit of hell with devils alone.  He is here with us as us!  And what is done to any man is done to Him personally!  In fact the whole population of men walking on earth is God’s COLLECTIVE BODY-CELLS.  Another way of stating this is “we are His temples in which He dwells”.  We make up God’s second body in flesh and blood as individual cells containing His immortal spirit life-substance.  So you see, God has always been here on earth disguised as the population of mankind.

When you look at men we find men in an array of maladies.  Some men are born blind; some are deaf and dumb.  Some are born with cleft palates and hair lips, while others are born deformed and with missing limbs.  Some are even born co-joined.  These are how some of God’s body cells begin their tour born in the (earth) prison of evil spirits.  The invisible prisoners have been terrible task masters and have laden God’s human body cells with very difficult burdens.  They have been abusive shepherds that lead men into all kinds of hurtful circumstances.  Because of these treacherous taskmasters some men are strung out on drugs and they function poorly in society.  Some are alcoholics soon to be burdens on those around them.  Prisons in all nations are full of those judged and rejected as too contrary to live freely among men.  And those who mislead them are the unseen judges and juries administering punishment to them.  Wicked spirits have caused great unfairness in human affairs.  Some by greed and cheating have so much wealth heaped upon themselves that if they lived 10 life times in sequence it would not be enough for them to spend it all.  All this occurs while the poorest of the poor are ravaged by hunger, starvation, disease, and nakedness.  They die early.  What a contrast!  Here are a couple of scriptures.


Ecclesiastes 1:13 And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven: this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith. 14 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.

Romans 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. 18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. 20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, 21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

Now I want you to consider my Father God, who is also the Great Physician.  He will work a great miracle before the eyes of all with eyes to see.  He will REMOVE HIS BODY CELLS of all humanity from the surface of the planet Earth.  The eyes of all of our invisible enemies will be witnesses.  The purpose of this ACT is to bring them to the Barn of Heaven for HEALING.  And after they are healed they will all STAND BEFORE HIM DRESSED IN WHITE.  My Father God, the GREAT PHYSICIAN, will HEAL HIMSELF!  YOU will be a witness!  Everyone with two eyes will be a witness.  Every devil confined in hell in the bottomless pit will be a witness.  So don’t tell me what God can and cannot do!  God will show YOU what He surely shall do and YOU will see it when it happens.  I tell you God can do anything.  You will see Him raise up His broken BODY OF MANKIND.  He will draw us to the Barn of Heaven and make us over into the glory of the angels.  This is what I prophesy to you this day!  When it happens you will know that Father God sent a prophet among you!

John 17:21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. 22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: 23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. 24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

Matthew 13:27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? 28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? 29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

Revelation 14:15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe. 16 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.

Jeremiah 4:23 I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light. 24 I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly. 25 I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled. 26 I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger.

Romans 14:7 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. 8 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's. 9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living. 10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. 11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. 12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

Isaiah 2:2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. 3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. 4 And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

Isaiah 25:6 And in this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined. 7 And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations. 8 He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it. 9 And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.

Isaiah 66:18 For I know their works and their thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory. 21 And I will also take of them for priests and for Levites, saith the LORD. 22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain. 23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.

Revelation 5:13  And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. 14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.

Revelation 21:3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. 4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. 5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

This how my Father, and your Father, the Great Physician, will surely heal Himself!  Can you say, “Amen”?!

You Must Enter Heaven as a Child


Entering the Kingdom as a Child


HEADLINE

Luke 18:17 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.

How many of you remember when you were born?  What is the first thing you saw and the first words you heard?  How did you feel?  And yet Jesus told us, “You must be born again” and “You must become as a little child” to enter the kingdom of Heaven.  To some this seems to be incredible to ask this of men and quite impossible to others.  What does it really mean?

As you know many have called the Earth, mother earth.  It is because the earth is like a giant clay womb giving rise to generations of men in ever increasing numbers.  After so many years of living on her, the clay form returns as it was and living REDEEMED SPIRITS are borne from her.  These fly to Heaven and to God as the ever increasing numbers of Angelic Hosts.

What I can vaguely recall in my mind is the day I was born on earth.  The first thing I remember seeing is a very big and round white light from a surgical lamp and a very big white face in a surgical mask.  That is the first thing I saw.  I was born in a hospital at St. Mary’s Mercy Hospital in Gary, Indiana and Dr. L. W. Paratt delivered me on September 7, 1943.  I do not remember any words spoken, no conversation.  I was a blank.  My mind was a clean slate ready to be impressed and to have my memory written upon it. I can remember very little of my childhood except a few flashes of random scenes.  That tells you about the efficiency of my long-term memory.  My short-term memory is much better.  I know who I am and significant details about my life as a person.  Better yet my Creator got my attention and told me who I am, what is my heritage, and what my destiny entails.  He communicated with me in my head and through a written record He left for man’s use, the scriptural record.  Our HEADLINE comes from that record and it tells you what will happen to you and me in our very near future.  I am not alone on this journey.  ALL HUMAN BEINGS are my brothers and sisters.  We were all conceived in Mother Wisdom’s womb and placed in Father’s Nursery until the time for our generation to be sown in the clay fields of the earth.  You should gather from this that the clay fields of earth refer to the wombs of God’s daughters living on it.  Our DNA heritage in clay came from the clay used to create the bodies of Adam and Eve.  Since we are immortal spirit children from God’s nursery confined for a set time in clay, our spirit DNA source is our Parents, Father-God and Mother Wisdom.  He brought our spirits forth from Wisdom’s womb on the great 4th Creation Day and we became His “stars”.  We are star-children.

Now the planet earth is made of star dust.  The clay on it is star dust.  So God made bodies for Adam and Eve of star dust.  That is appropriate because we are HIS STARS.  When you factor in what Jesus said, “You must be born again to enter the kingdom”, what it refers to is your rebirth as a free and REDEEMED SPIRIT in ORDER to enter the Family in Heaven.  This is by invitation only.  We are called by the EXACT BIRTH NUMBER AND ORDER in which we emerged from Mother’s womb on the 4th Creation Day.  Absolutely no one knows that but Father Himself.  He has appointed Jesus to be His designated Savior of the world and of all men.  When He gives Jesus the list and order of names given to us when we were born, Jesus calls each name one by one.  An amazing thing happens on earth.  Spirits that once were men rise and fly away and clay houses called bodies drop down and return to the earth.  Since the devils (tares) surrounding each human and laying siege against him can only hold on to men while they remain alive as men, there is a great fall out as devils return to their pitfall.  Devils are the source of evil thoughts, the wicked mind that reminds us of evils deeds we have experienced, seen, or heard in this world.  When they fall away, so does the memory of sin and wickedness.  So just as new born babes enter our world, newly redeemed spirits return to Heaven just as God sent them down to the flesh.  Their minds are free of evil, pure and fresh.  They are blanks prepared for Father to write nothing but truth in them.

The newly redeemed spirits will be born in a similar way as I remember.  A great Light Being will meet them, a “deliverer”.  This surrogate will be their first teacher who will clue them in on where they are.  These neophytes must learn the language of Heaven so they can communicate.  No earth languages are spoken there.  Like a newborn everything they see will be astonishing and beautiful.  The sounds they hear of sweet music will enchant them.  When they see themselves as a reflection in water or a mirror, they will be amazed that they do not look human at all.  But they glow with the brightness of the sun just like those around them.  They are told what their true name is that God gave them and they will respond to that name and identify with it forever more.  When they see their faces and bodies they will see marvelously beautiful features and powerful and splendid bodies they could never have imagined.  They will also learn how to fly by taking thought.  This is the glory of God and our Family awaiting all those who are born of the spirit.  This is your heritage too and the glory that awaits YOU, when Jesus calls and invites you to FAMILY REUNION and your own Order of Angels.  God created each child for Himself to have being and to enjoy as His offspring.  Not one child can or will be lost.  That was never part of the PLAN.  Since we are really little cells of His living immortal spirit material, He plans to BE HIMSELF fully and completely when we are finally gathered to Him for full FAMILY REUNION.  Like Jesus said, “You must be born again”, and Father will make it happen!!

God's Two Witnesses


Two Witnesses

Revelation 12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, 8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. 10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. 12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

Revelation 13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. 6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. 7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Clearly there is a WAR going on that began for us in the Garden of Eden.  It is Heaven VS the powers of darkness over the souls of men.  Adam and Eve were VICTIMS in this WAR and mankind remains the victim today.  Since men cannot see the kingdom of devils, many do not believe devils exist and they do not buy the idea that we are at WAR with an invisible power.  Therefore God has prepared Two Witnesses to testify before the Heavenly Court regarding what they have observed about this WAR.

Deuteronomy 17:6 At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is worthy of death be put to death; but at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.

Revelation 11:3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. 7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. 11 And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. 12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.

So from these scriptures we see the purpose for sending the Two Witnesses.  The powers of Darkness shall not be put to death without the testimony of two witnesses.  From the above text we see that devils do not approve of testimony of these Witnesses before God.  Therefore they WAR against them and kill them.  And who might these Two Witnesses be?  One of them, Jesus Christ, stands out immediately.


Witness A

Revelation 1:5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

John 8:24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins. 25 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning. 26 I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.

Jesus was sent by the Father to get up close and personal with the demonic offenders to observe personally what they are doing to God’s children.  They had many battles during Jesus’ ministry and at times Jesus cast them out of men before the crowds who heard him.  He also warned them, “If you lift me up on a cross and kill me, I will draw all men unto me.  And where I am, they shall be also”.

John 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.

John 14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. 4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. 5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

John 16:10 ... Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more


Witness B

Witness B is a collective.  It is the Father Himself as He appears in all His prophets and wise men.

Luke 11:49 Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute:

2 Corinthians 6:16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

Isaiah 63:9 In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old.

Matthew 25:42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: 43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. 44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? 45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.

Because Father is living the life of each human body cell, He is in all men.  What devils do to men is also simultaneously done to Him.  When His human prophets are abused and persecuted, so is He.  Actually Father is the best Witness one can hope for because He manages good and evil events that happen in our world.

Isaiah 45:5 I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me: 6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else. :7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

From what I know about devils, I do not think they believe or appreciate the extent of God’s control.  They do not know God and cannot appreciate that He is all there is and we actually live inside Him and the Creations we see are part of Him.  That is too much for their mind to comprehend.  But it is true.  What we call “the universe” is inside Him.  And yet the Father micro-manages all events that happen to us in our world.  I do not let the BIGNESS OF GOD blow my mind.  He took a Body Form that pleased Him so we could see Him.  When we get to see Him, we will know that this One is our Father-Creator, the brightest awesome Light we will see in Home Heaven.  Now look at the following.

Malachi 3:5 And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts. 6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. 17 And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.

So Father tells us that He is the BEST WITNESS of all because He dwells in all because every evil that has been done to mankind in all generations is simultaneously done to Him.

Matthew 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

So when God’s prophets and wise men are abused and killed, it is simultaneously done
to Witness B.  Now we have the correct explanation of Revelation 11:3 concerning Two Witnesses.

You Never Walk Alone


You’ll Never Walk Alone


When you come to understand just who you are, how you came to be, and your heritage from the Creator, you will know that no man ever walks alone in the earthly pit of hell, namely, this earth.

I can preface this study by saying no one can know God or understand His works unless He wants you to understand it.

Matthew 11:25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. 26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight. 27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

John 3:27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.

So if you are able to grasp this “Highest” light, it is because the Creator wants you to have it.

First you will need to know WHO and WHAT God is.  First I will give you the summary:  God is all there is.  Scripturally we like to say “God is ALL in ALL”.  “He is before all things and by Him all things consist”.  He is so immense that the universe exists within Him!

Romans 11:36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.

Acts 17:24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; 25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; 26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; 27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: 28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring

Ephesians 4:6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

Colossians 1:17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

Isaiah 45:6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else. 7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

Secrets XXIV:3-5 "Hear, Enoch, and take in these my Words, for not to my angels have I told my secret, and I have not told them their rise, nor my endless realm, nor have they understood my creating, which I tell thee today.  For before all things were visible, I alone used to go about in the invisible things, like the sun from east to west, and from west to east.  But even the sun has peace in itself, while I found no peace, because I was creating all things, and I conceived the idea of placing foundations, and of creating visible creations."

II Hermas I:1-3 "First of all believe that there is One God who created and framed all things from nothing into a being.  He comprehends all things and is only immense, NOT TO BE COMPREHENDED BY ANY.  Who can neither be defined by any words, nor conceived by the mind,"

Acts of John in the New Testament Apocrypha by Hennecke, section 101, "But what I am is known to me alone, and no one else.  Let me have what is mine; what is yours you must see through me; but me you must see truly not that which I am, (as) I said, but that which you as (my) kinsman, are able to know.

GOD IS OMNIPRESENT

            When God envisioned creating foundations circumscribed by environments or worlds, He had no basic supply of raw material around someplace from which to create things.  There is nothing else but Him!  So...He took a bodily form as it pleased Him, and out myriads of lines of force streaming out of Him in all directions, He made and suspends everything we know as "matter" ... the creations ... stars, planets, galaxies of the visible creations, and the invisible creations which human eyes cannot see.  God placed His signature with flair on all His works.  From the small world of atomic particles to the vastness of the galaxies --- all express His glory.  Since these lines of force and their end-products are all connected to Him and are part of Him, HE IS EVERYTHING ... ALL MATTER even though it is "outside" His form.  It is as though every atom is some of His power-substance attached to Him by invisible strings of force.  God is in-tune with every atomic particle.  He can change it into whatever pleases Him.

            God's FAMILY is made differently.  From His chest area God took some of His spirit substance, whatever it is, and made a female counter-part, the mirror image of His goodness to become His Wife.  Together they took small portions of their substance and co-created small duplicates of their glory or "images" in Wisdom's womb.  These became the children of the FAMILY .... US! They were placed in God's nursery until time to reveal them on earth in their generations.   So God and Wisdom are IN each offspring and it is impossible for any man TO BE otherwise.  What we have come to know as "life", the ability to sense with five senses, to think, to have "feelings", emotions, and power to grow ... is a sharing of God's own sensory-perception as we experience life for the first time consciously.  WE LIVE IN HIS LIFE!  And God must deliver a whole panorama of "feelings", emotions, and sensations to the population of men on earth according to what is prescribed for each man's role.  To help in our understanding of this God/man relationship, it is like the brain and the other body members.  It is the brain that controls sensations and movements of the body parts; even so "messages" or "sharings" from God control our sensory perceptions.  So...when God said I will not leave you nor forsake you, He was not being "technical".  He cannot get away from us because HE IS US in every way we could not imagine!  We are truly His second body as a BODY OF PEOPLE and our true nature is exactly like His.  We were made that way from the beginning according to PLAN!

So each human incarnation is a “chip off the old block” or our spirit is a very tiny piece of God’s living person.  It is immortal and cannot perish.  He shaped these pieces in the form of Himself and His Wife, Mother Wisdom, on the 4th Creation Day.  We became sons and daughters.  Bringing the whole number of children He thought to create to birth as “His stars”, we were placed in His nursery until the advent of our revelation in clay form on the Planet Earth in our designated generations.

Since all matter is END PRODUCTS of God’s self, outside of His chosen form, but still a part of Him, the very stardust from which the dust of the earth is formed is all “part of God”.  Since God is all there is, the plants, galaxies and the whole universe is ALL INSIDE HIM.  God is so BIG that He cannot be fathomed or imagined.  To all His BODY CELLS planted in clay (flesh), He shares small portions of His sensory perception.  The effect of this is each human is aware that he is “alive” and sentient (able to reason).  So when God said, “I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU”, it is the Highest truth you could not imagine.  It also explains why God said of His children, “I will dwell in them and walk in them”, 2 Corinthians 6:16.  The Spirit also said of the children on earth, “In all their affliction, He is afflicted”, Isaiah 63:9.  Now you understand how that is true.  And in Jesus’ parable, you see the truth in these Words.

Matthew 25:34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

The point is God is YOU living your (His) life in you and for you as a single cell of His greater body who He calls “My children”!  In this earth He has PLANNED both positive and negative (good/evil) experiences for the molding (exercise. Ecclesiastes 1:13) of each individual child.  This is too complex for immature human mind to comprehend and grasp without first knowing WHO our Father is and HOW He made His creations.

Every child is also assigned a complement of angels to be his caretakers and leaders who must battle the negative forces (devils) created to supply a contrasting experience (evil) to His goodness.  This is where our growth gets interesting.  There is a battle royal, a hellish rumble between our good angels and devils to influence our decision making.  Devils have been given a handicap and advantage because they can climb out of their pitfall by grabbing and holding tight to the bodies of men to establish body sieges to wage war.  They can speak to men who do not know they are present and pretend to be God, Jesus, the holy Spirit or angels from Heaven.  They form man’s evil thoughts and men claim their inputs as human thought or my mind.  This makes the good angels’ job of fighting demonic dreams and imaginations extra difficult.  Negative forces have caused all the trouble the world is in from the first escapades against Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.  The conditions facing mankind remain the same.  Serpents (devils) continue to tempt men and bind their minds to do all the evil happening in our world.

NOW IN THE END God has informed us of who we are by continuing to introduce Himself to us.  He has informed us that HE IS ALL that we know and sense as real in the visible world.  In addition He is ALL that we cannot see in the heavenly realm.  He cannot reveal ALL of Himself without telling us that we call "men" are really billions of little "cells" of His spirit material in a clay mold (flesh) shaped with a head, arms, torso, and legs and answering to earthly names.  When each of us looks into a mirror, we say, "That is me"!  All these considerations make it very clear why GOD IS OMNIPRESENT.  Not only is all "matter" end-products or extensions of power radiating from Him...part of Him yet "outside" His "form", but with the mind's eye we must LOOK BEYOND THE FLESH OF MEN AND SEE GOD!  I see earth's entire population as 5.5-6 billion "cells" of God's spirit material moving around on earth's surface---every one of them "feeling" individual, a "free mortal agent", conscious, intelligent, and having what men call "free-will".  So GOD IS SUFFERING and enduring SELF-IMMOLATION OR NON-STOP CRUCIFIXION as He subjects His BODY CELLS on the earth to the treachery of devils so that His upper student BODY may learn "perfect" behavior.

So no matter who you are or where you are, you are a son or daughter of God undergoing your planned evil experiences designed by the Creator-Teacher for your first stage training.  After you finish your course, you will be called by Jesus, the Savior, by your true name to COME UP TO HEAVEN where you will undergo the perfection stage and become a mature shining child of God.  Here is the way of man.  An infant spirit is removed from God’s Heavenly nursery and planted in the clay womb of one of His human daughters.  He builds a clay house (body) for it while it resides there.  He brings it to birth and assigns a complement of angels to that person for leadership and protection against the negative forces claiming it as “my house” as soon as it is born.  From birth the battle between good and evil begins.  Most humans are totally unaware of all this.  But at no time is any man “alone” or “by myself”.  God is always with him sharing His life and conscious awareness with each man.  In addition a man may retain guardians from above to do battle with his demonic tares surrounding him in his life.  It is time to wake up and see the light (and smell the coffee), because YOU NEVER WALK ALONE!

Psalm 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Psalm 139:5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me. 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it. 7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? 8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. 9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; 10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. 11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me. 12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee. 13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. 14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. 15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. 16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them. 17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! 18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.

The Merriam Webster Online Dictionary

As you can see generation in the sense that we are considering it has to do with the creation of men by the Father.  There should be no doubt among enlightened men that Creator-God made us, and we are His offspring.

Isaiah 45:9 Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands? 10 Woe unto him that saith unto his father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth? 11 Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. 12 I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.

Matthew 23:9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

Acts 17:24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; 25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; 26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; 27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: 28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.

And I said to him: 'Become undone, Adoil, and let 3 the visible come out of thee.' And he came undone, and a great light came out.

And I placed for myself a throne, and took; my seat on it, and said to the light: 'Go thou up higher and fix thyself high above the throne, and be 5 a foundation to the highest things.' And above the light there is nothing else, and then I bent up and looked up from my throne.

II Baruch 49 1 Nevertheless, I will again ask from Thee, O Mighty One, yea, I will ask mercy from Him who made all things. 2 "In what shape will those live who live in Thy day? Or how will the splendour of those who (are) after that time continue? 3 Will they then resume this form of the present, And put on these entrammelling members, Which are now involved in evils, And in which evils are consummated, Or wilt Thou perchance change these things which have been in the world As also the world?" '

50 1 And He answered and said unto me: 'Hear, Baruch, this word, And write in the remembrance of thy heart all that thou shalt learn. 2 For the earth shall then assuredly restore the dead, [Which it now receives, in order to preserve them]. It shall make no change in their form, But as it has received, so shall it restore them, And as I delivered them unto it, so also shall it raise them. 3 For then it will be necessary to show to the living that the dead have come to life again, and that 4 those who had departed have returned (again). And it shall come to pass, when they have severally recognized those whom they now know, then judgement shall grow strong, and those things which before were spoken of shall come.

51 8 For they shall behold the world which is now invisible to them, And they shall behold the time which is now hidden from them: 9 And time shall no longer age them. 10 For in the heights of that world shall they dwell, And they shall be made like unto the angels, And be made equal to the stars, And they shall be changed into every form they desire, From beauty into loveliness, And from light into the splendour of glory. 11 For there shall be spread before them the extents of Paradise, and there shall be shown to them the beauty of the majesty of the living creatures which are beneath the throne, and all the armies of the angels, who [are now held fast by My word, lest they should appear, and] are held fast by a 12 command, that they may stand in their places till their advent comes. Moreover, there shall then be 13 excellency in the righteous surpassing that in the angels. For the first shall receive the last, those whom they were expecting, and the last those of whom they used to hear that they had passed away. 14 For they have been delivered from this world of tribulation, And laid down the burden of anguish.
