GOD
IS THOUGHT
(Gen
1:1) In
the beginning God [Thought] created [i.e.,
no thing (nothing) can be created without first thinking about
it]
the heaven and the earth [and “evil”] [1]. (Gen
1:2) And
the earth was without form [Heb: a waste; fig. a
worthless thing; vain: confusion] [i.e., worthless
thoughts],
and void [Heb: empty; an undistinguishable ruin] [if
ruined, it
must have been something else (unruined) at one time]; and
darkness
[Heb: the dark: fig. misery, destruction, death, ignorance,
sorrow,
wickedness] [i.e., evil unholy thoughts] [2] was upon the
face
of the deep [Heb: an abyss (as a surging
mass
of water)] [(anthropomorphism)] [i.e., a surging mass of fallen angels
(fallen
thoughts)]. And the Spirit of God [i.e., the
Holy Thoughts
of God] moved upon the face of the waters. (Gen
1:3) And
God said, Let there be light [Heb: illumination
(including
happiness)] [3]: and there was light [drawn out
from the
darkness; a kind of rebirth (born-again) from darkness into light;
typified by
being (born-again) from Mary (Heb: rebellious /// bitterness)
into Jesus
(Heb: Jehovah-saved)] [4]. (Gen 1:4) And God
saw the
light [Heb: illumination (including happiness)], that
it
was good [versus evil]: and God divided [Heb:
separated] [as in birthing] the light from the darkness. (Gen
1:5) And God called the light Day [Heb: to be hot; a
day (as
the warm hours)] [i.e., good], and the darkness he called Night
[Heb:
properly a twist (away of the light); fig. adversity /// to
fold back; a
spiral step: winding stair] [i.e., bad, evil]. And the evening
and the
morning were the first day.
1.
(Isa
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. (Isa 45:7) I form
the
light, and create darkness [Heb: the dark: fig. misery,
destruction, death, ignorance, sorrow, wickedness]: I make
peace, and
create evil: I the LORD do all these things [to teach you].
2.
Commentary:
“darkness” = evil
unholy thoughts (consequential perversions of God’s
Good Holy
Thoughts). This verse describes a surging mass of fallen angels
who
are spirits (fallen thoughts no longer of God) that are perverted
(changed,
and therefore corrupted, perverted thoughts), perversions of God’s
original
pure Holy Thoughts, evil thoughts that are in agreement with
and
serving under the mingled chief fallen angel
spirit
identified as Lucifer-Satan (Good-Evil, Light-Darkness).
3.
(John
8:12) Then spake Jesus
again unto them, saying, I am the light [illumination
(including happiness);
brilliant radiance] of the world [Gk: kosmos;
“cosmos”
(universe)]: he that followeth [Gk: to be in the
same way
with] me shall not walk in darkness [fig.
misery,
destruction, death, ignorance, sorrow, wickedness], but shall
have the
light [illumination, (including happiness);
brilliant
radiance] of life.
4.
(1
Peter 2:9) But ye are a chosen
generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar [Gk:
an acquisition: purchased, possession] people; that ye
should shew
forth [Gk: publish, celebrate] the praises of him who
hath
called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: [Will
you respond to that call and step forth, or stay in the womb of
darkness?]
GOD’S
STAIR CASE OF THOUGHT REACHES INTO THE GLORY OF HEAVEN
(Gen
28:10,11)
And Jacob [who was not yet “imputed for righteousness,”
i.e.,
“not saved” until Gen 32:28] [1] went out from Beersheba, and
went
toward Haran. And he lighted upon [arrived at]
a
certain place [Heb: a condition (of body or mind)],
and tarried
there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of
the
stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay
down
in that place to sleep.
1.
(Gen
32:28) And he [the
angel] said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob [Heb:
heel catcher (supplanter)], but Israel [Heb: he
will rule
as God]: for as a prince hast thou power with God and
with men,
and hast prevailed.
a.
(Hosea
12:3-5) He [Jacob]
took his brother [Esau] by the heel in the womb,
and by
his strength [Heb: in the sense of effort, but
successful]
he had power with God: Yea, he had power over the angel,
and
prevailed: he wept, and made supplication [Heb:
to implore
(move to favor by petition): beseech] [“wrestled” i.e., Jacob prayed vigorously
in humility] unto him [the LORD God]: he
[Jacob] found him [the LORD God] in
Bethel
[Heb: the house of God], and there he spake with us;
Even
the LORD God [Heb: elohiym; gods] [the Trinity] of
hosts; the
LORD is his memorial.
(Gen
28:12-15)
And he dreamed [1], and behold a ladder [Heb:
a stair case] [2] set up on the earth, and the top of
it reached
to heaven: and behold the angels of God [3] ascending
[messages from us, i.e., the prayers of our thoughts]
and
descending [messages from God, i.e., His Thoughts, revelations]
on it. And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and
said, I
am the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the
land
whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed; And
thy seed
shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread
abroad
to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and
in thee
and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be
blessed. And,
behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all
places whither
thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I
will not
leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee
of.
1.
(Job
33:14-18) For God
speaketh once [in the written Word], yea twice,
yet
man perceiveth [Heb: beholds, regards] it not. In
a dream [i.e., the “twice”], in a vision
[Heb:
a revelation, espec. by dream] of the night, when deep
sleep
falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed; Then he openeth
the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction, That
he may withdraw
man from his [ungodly] purpose, and hide pride
from
man. He keepeth back [Heb: restrains] his [man’s]
soul from the pit [of hell, of eternal damnation],
and his
life from perishing by the sword [of the Holy
Spirit].
a.
(Eph
6:17,18) And take the
helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is
the word
[Gk: rhema; revelations] of God: Praying always
with all
prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with
all
perseverance and supplication [Gk: petitions: prayers]
for all
saints;
2.
Commentary:
please note the “rungs’
of the ladder that connote ascending steps or scholastic grades
(rhema
upon rhema, revelation upon revelation) provided by God for the
advancement of our education, i.e., for our understanding.
3.
Commentary:
“the angels of God”
= Angels are the seeds (logos) of God’s Thoughts (rhema), for
they each contain
a (rhema) message of God. Angels are the Thoughts of God
expressed in/as the Words of God, clothed as Angels
(Heb:
messengers) (seeds) and sent to us for our understanding.
“IF”
(Gen
28:16-22)
And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the
LORD is in
this place; and I knew it not. And he was afraid, and
said, How
dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God,
and this
is the gate of heaven. And Jacob rose up early in the
morning,
and took the stone that he had put for his pillows, and
set it up
for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it. And he called the
name of
that place Bethel [Heb: house of God]: but the
name of
that city was called Luz [Heb: (as growing there)]
at the
first. And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be
with me,
and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me
bread to
eat, and raiment to put on [me], So that I come
again to my
father's house in peace; then shall the LORD be my
God: And this
stone, which I have set for a [location] pillar, shall
be God's house:
and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth
[Heb:
tithe] unto thee.
Amen
