THE CHURCH AGE! PT 2!
Psalm 102:18 TPT
Write all this down for the coming generation, so re-created people will read it and praise the Lord!
The Book of Hebrews 11:3 gives us insight into the various eras and how they were framed,
Hebrews 11:3 AMPC
By faith we understand that the worlds [during the successive ages] were framed (fashioned, put in order, and equipped for their intended purpose) by the word of God, so that what we see was not made out of things which are visible.
The word “world” in the above scripture is the Greek word “aion” which is explained as successive ages. These are various beginnings, right from the inception when God made the heavens,
Genesis 1:1-3 CTV
- When God began the beginning, he created the heavens and the earth.
- And the earth became deserted and ruined, and darkness overshadowed the deep. God’s creative Spirit was brooding over the great deluge.
- Thereafter, God declared, light be! And light manifested.
When you carry out an in-depth study of the Book of the Beginning along with other scriptures, you would observe that between verses 1 and 2 of Genesis chapter 1 are several millions, if not billions of light years.
The Christ Truth Version of Genesis 1:1 shows that there was a beginning that gave way to other beginnings.
God pre-existed the beginning of all things, ranging from the era of the creation of the heavens which is the habitation for angels to an age when the angels were made, and then the creation of the pre-adamic world where Lucifer ruled as God’s vice-regent, the text below alludes to this,
Job 38:4-7 NKJV
“Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?
Tell Me, if you have understanding.
5 Who determined its measurements?
Surely you know!
Or who stretched the line upon it?
6 To what were its foundations fastened?
Or who laid its cornerstone,
7 When the morning stars sang together,
And all the sons of God shouted for joy?
The above scripture shows the making of the pre-adamic world, and Lucifer was among those termed as morning stars, which is the definition of his name, who shouted for joy as they watched the Word carry out the making of that world.
Psalm 87:2-4 TPT
How God loves the gates of Zion, his favorite place on earth.
3 So many glorious things have been proclaimed over Zion, God’s holy city!
Pause in his presence
4 For the Lord says, “Here are the nations who will acknowledge me as God.
Zion refers to the church, the crowning of God’s creation that is authorized to rule over all things by continually making decrees as heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ. The LORD Jesus looks up to the church to prolong his days, displaying his miraculous works even more than what was recorded during his earth walk.
Declaration
I declare that I am an active participant in the body of Christ, and through me, the expectation of all creation within my world, of ridding them out of the bondage of death and bringing them into the liberty of God’s children, is brought to pass in Jesus name, Amen!
