The "tree" of good and evil was Satan. The "TREE" of life is Jesus. Trees are many times representative of people.
The miracle of the blind man. 24And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking. 25.
Or these scriptures:
8Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have heard him, and observed him: I am like a green fir tree. From me is thy fruit found.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
There are many definitions and uses of "evil" in the Bible. There are calamities and adversities and then there is moral corruption and decay.
God says of Satan that he was in the garden of God, he was created perfect until iniquity was found in him. Satan have important priestly duties at one time until he "merchandised" the sons of God. He corrupted and stole and envied.
12Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
13Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
14Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
15Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
16By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire
When Jesus talked of those who are of their father, the devil..he was a murderer from the beginning he is talking about the father of Cain,(satan)-the first murderer-and of Cain's offspring- who are not in the genealogy of Adam, Noah, or Jesus.
You're mistaken. You don't even know who Satan is:
https://www.thepathoftruth.com/teachings/origin-identity-satan.htm
You're quoting from Ezekiel and Isaiah, not knowing that those passages are referring to Nebuchadnezzar. Its also illustrative/descriptive language to parallel the fall of man.
Nebuchadnezzar was not a covering cherubim.
You're taking it literal, thats your problem. Not an actual cherub, homie. Let me make something clear: I am in no way attempting to convince or sway any of you. I posted it because you need to know that you're mistaken in your position.
You don't answer to me, so I don't give two shits what you do with it or believe. Believe this above all else: you will be held accountable for the truth that you reject, now that you've been exposed to it.
That goes for all of us.
You'll fund out for yourself, now won't you?
You're not even into the vicinity of the truth. Nebuchadnezzar is a type of the antiChrist, who receives his power from satan. You'd be wise to remember that satan's fall was his pride.
So would you. In due time, fren.
Its not about who he was but what God gave him.
Your opinion is not how any of this works.
Your misapplication and lack of insight from the Author is your issue. I was indoctrinated like you for a time, until I took the red pill. You can twist it any way you like to fit your understanding or bias but it doesn't work that way either.
I know very well what i am quoting.
So nebuchadnezzar was created perfect, was in the garden of God and wore the stones of the priests?
Who goes into the pit?
Nebuchadnezzar is only a type.
Gods word makes sense. He called His creation, GOOD.
Well that is very interesting. And yes why are they missing? Research is needed. I am intrigued. Researched many things but not that, as yet. Ty
Ty for sharing. I read over quickly once and will read over several times along with the scriptures.
I have no criticism to give to your study. I am still pondering it. I see the Word as having many layers and I certainly don't know them all.
May I add a layer for your consideration? This has to do with the camping of the tribes which you alluded to.
The stars in the heavens were for "signs"(oth-things to come) and "seasons".
19 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
The stars tell a story, and the standards of the tribes which were the Zodiac (a way, a step) points to that story (and to other layers of understanding).
There is Biblical astronomy and there is satanic astrology.
The order according to the course of the sun. Think of this as a clock with the precession carrying the signs of the Zodiac westward.
Numbers 2
Camp of- Judah (The lion) was camped on the East along with Zebulon (Virgo), and Issachar (Cancer). (the second row of stones in priest breastplate)
Camp of- Reuben (Aquarius-the man) on the South, along with Simeon (Pisces), and Gad (Aries) (the First row of stones in the priests breastplate)
Camp of- Ephraim and Manasseh (Tarus-two horns of the bull) on the West, along with Benjamin (Gemini). (The Fourth row of stones in the breastplate)
Camp of-On the sides of the North were Dan (Scorpio-the scorpion-serpent-substituted eagle), Asher (Sagitarius), Nephtali (Capricorn). (The third row of stones in the breastplate-which seem to be the ones missing in satin's breastplate-why?)
Levi had no standard for the kept the "balance of the Sanctuary".
12 precious stones (I totally agree. They were placed over the heart).
Some of what is said about Satan in that article is true in that God is teaching His children the difference between the Holy and the Profane.
I could put it like this-if Q and president Trump did not "allow" us to get to the precipice by showing us (the works of evil)and telling us of the true evil that is going on in this world, we would fall into passivity and "sleep" again. You could say that Trump and Q are using the "black hats" to bring about an opening of the eyes. Did Trump and/or Q create the evil?
It was very important to be born in the flesh with mortal bodies. Satan is allowed to tempt until his purpose is no longer needed. It was important that sin be allowed to enter this world and that salvation be the answer for whomsoever will. Flesh bodies were made for us for a reason. God knew us before we were born into this flesh age. And I am not talking reincarnation.
The more important question is, do you know who WE are?
Obviously you care about research as your other comment leads me to believe. So please read what I say below in its entirety. If you disagree, that's fine. If you want more documentation-i have it.
I do not intend to "spread" anything but always want others to consider and research for themselves.
I do know from my own research that fallen angels mated with the daughters of men.
I know That Cain's seed are not listed in the blood line of Adam. Why?
I do know the first murderer was Cain.
I do know that when Adam and Eve were discovered by God, they were naked and covered their private parts. Why?
I do know that there are those who say they are of the tribes, who aren't. The Bible says so. God even identified some as the children of the first murderer. It wasn't just in a "spiritual" sense. The first murderer was Cain.
I do know that twins can be born of different fathers as was the case with Cain and Able.
It is not about hatred or racism for me. It is about His Word. I was taught differently growing up, and to believe as I do now was scary
It turned my world upside down. But we can't be afraid of the truth. I have tons of documentation, which I needed, before acceptance came.
I am sorry that some people use two separate seed lines as a call to be racist and hate driven. That is not my intention and I know it isn't a our Father's.
Being of the tribes does not make one righteous. But the signs of the tribes can be traced as the mark of Cain can be traced. God's promises can also be traced by those very signs and markings. We know HIS Word is true.
Ty and it will be an interesting discussion with you and whomever
I don't know where else to put a new thread for this study. I do not want to cause consternation to the group as it is for Q news. But I would like to reply to your study and also create a study about Cain. Whether we agree or disagree on our conclusions, to research, study, meditate on the Word in these end times just makes sense. Q/patriot movement seems to be so important which makes the study of His Word even more necessary. We are in treacherous times and wisdom from Our Father is crucial.
Yes and the body of Christ is being called together to replace the angels that fell with satan.
I don't see it quite like Andy_Man45 does. We are not a "replacement" for the angels that fell. Angels being "messengers". God knew us from before we were born (Jeremiah). Who were we? Who are we? We definitely weren't just a clump of cells. Our Father never fails.
