Catastrophic Events

"Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me...

until these calalmities be overpast." Psalms 57:1

 

 

People would argue that castastrophies are nothing new, that they have been taking place since time began.

Time (the consequence of error) brought death, the evidence of sin. "The wages of sin is death." Sin is error, and man's error brings death.

And God saw the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of the heart was only evil continually. Genesis 6:5

What followed was the flood, symbolizing the flood of spiritual and physical evilness that is quickly rising upon the earth.

I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil... Isaiah 45:7.

God created evil, meaning he had the idea or concept of evil, but God did not form/make evil.

God did not bring evil into existence. He only created the possibility for it to manifest itself if man chose to accept it into his heart.

Why would God create evil in the first place?

To give man preeminence, superior to those creations that only knew good, giving man the power and authority to choose between two opposing thoughts, between the good and evil or right and wrong thoughts that would enter into his mind.

Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field, which the Lord God hath made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

The serpent was the catalyst, serving to percipitate this power and authority within Eve, the power to know or acknowledge the good and evil through experience, and the authority to than choose between them. The word "serpent" means " learn by experience."

And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die... good seed of thought (truth).

And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:... evil seed of thought (lie).

For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

Eve already knew good and evil. She was given the good thought followed by the evil thought. And she already was a god, made in the image of God, having not only the power to take in two opposing thoughts, but the authority to give power to whichever one she chose by accepting it into her heart.

Eve listened to the serpent, the Mind perceiving a thought that was not the truth. This error in thinking (a seed of thought) was sin being created in the mind. Then Adam ate of it, the Heart accepting the erroneous thought as truth. The thought of the mind became a belief of the heart, the seed of thought sown within the heart, sin conceived, which formed the sinful flesh, the "coats of skin" that would be subject to death through the passing of time. Time and death were the consequence for the error or sin. When man chose to accept the evil seeds of false beliefs into his heart he relinquished his spiritual and physical protection, which the garden symbolizes.

And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by. And I will take away my hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen. Exodus 33:22,23

The hand symbolizes power. Moses has already experienced the power of God in Egypt. He has already experienced the protection that accompanies God's power, which comes with obeying the spiritual word of God... by doing the spiritual works!

God is Alpha and Omega, having no beginning and no end. A circle.

Picture yourself facing God. Now turn around and start walking away from God, following the circle that is God. Eventually you will find yourself facing God's back, His back parts. This is where mankind is right now, facing God's back, far removed from the spiritual power and protection of God. It is not God that has turned His back on man, but man who has turned his back on God. Man's spiritual wickedness is releasing a negative and destructive energy that is manifesting itself in the form of bigger and more powerful storms, in more powerful earthquakes, and in other mega castastrophic events (calamities).

Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calalmities be overpast. Psalms 57:1

A culminative effort to put our sin in remission will lessen the intensity of these castastrophic events.

And God saw the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of the heart was only evil continually... Genesis 6:5

For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: Matthew 15:19

...But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. Genesis 6:8

After the waters receded God made a covenant with Noah, with his seed after him, and with every living creature that was with Noah. The covenant that God established with Noah was that flesh would never be cut off by the waters of a flood again, and that there would not be a flood to destroy the earth.

The definition of a covenent is a binding agreement made by two or more persons. This covenant was made with Noah, who found grace in the eyes of the Lord because he was righteous.

If one party breaks the covenant, the covenant becomes null and void. Man has broken his covenant with God through unrighteousness.

Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God. Revelation 3:2 (King James).

Become vigilant, and strengthen (be strong about) the remaining things which were about to die; for I have not found thy works fully performed in the presence of my God. Revelation 3:2 (original Greek).

In performing our six days of spiritual works we are able to see our sin and remove it, transforming the destructive energy of the HEART, doing our part to remove the destructive energy being released upon the EARTH, entering into God's protection. When enough of us do this important heart work will we begin to see a receding of the waters, and a lessening of intensity or degree (an abatement) of these castastrophic events.
