Jesus say’s
No one can see the
John 3
Know
therefore this day, and consider in your heart, that the Lord, He is God in
heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else.
Deuteronomy
4:39
The
Lord says; I Am God; there is none like me. I Am God;
There
is no other. I make known the ends from the beginning, from ancient times, what
is still to come. I say My purpose will stand and I will do all that I please.
Isaiah
46:9
He is
the Rock, His works are perfect and all His ways are just, a faithful God who
knows no wrong, upright and just is He!
Deuteronomy
32:4
The Lord, the
compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger and abounding in mercy and
faithfulness. Maintaining mercy to
thousands, and forgiving rebellion and sin yet He does not leave the guilty
unpunished.
Exodus 34:6–7
Have you not
known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, the creator of the
heaven and earth neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is
unsearchable.

God is
light; in Him is no darkness at all.

love, live in love and you live in God.
1 John
4:16
He (God)
is not far from us. For in Him we live and move and have our being
Acts
17:28
He is self existent, always was and always will be.
No one ever made God, because He has always has been God and always
will be God. Never was there a time when He was not.
God exists and lives within and outside of all His creation and never
has to support Himself. He is the support of everything. The creator never
needed creating. He is self-existent.
He never depends upon His creatures for His own existence,
characteristically or personally. He calls Himself the “I AM”
God reveals Himself as an immaterial Spirit, an infinite and absolute
being. All loving, all righteous, all just, all sovereign, all eternal, all
knowing, all powerful, all present, all truth and never changing!
He never has changed or ever will change! He has no reason to change.
We change, God never does! We must make adjustments to Him
He is self-consistent, orderly, dependable,
purposeful and understandable only through His revelation.
The Conclusion - God is boss!
The Lord is patient with you, not
wanting any to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
2 Peter 3:9
For His
name is exalted, His glory above heaven and earth, Holy is the Lord God
almighty, who was and who is and is to come, who sits on His throne and who
lives forevermore.
God reveals Himself
in the plurality of personality throughout the entire scriptures. They are
a team with very specific roles, working together in perfect unity and in
complete communication.
The plurality of
unity - The triune God
Let us make man in our
image
Genesis 1:26
His creatures knew
him as “The Lord God” “Jehovah Elohim” Jehovah is distinctively His

1:8

glory pleasure and satisfaction.

pleasure in evil; with you the wicked cannot dwell. The foolish\wicked shall
not stand in Your presence; You hate the workers of iniquity.
Psalm 5:4
You have made known to me the
path of life with pleasures at Your right hand forevermore.
Psalm 16:11
The Fathers
Role – The Designer and Architect

ancient times, what is still to come. I say: My purpose will stand, and I will
do all that I please.
Isaiah 45:5
Every good and perfect gift comes down from
Father of lights with whom is no variation, neither shadow of turning.

Role – The Builder who sustains and The Word
This is what God the Lord
say’s- He who created the Heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the
earth
and all that comes out of it, who gives breath to its people and life to those
who walk on it.
Isaiah 42:5
He, (Jesus Christ) is the
image of the invisible God, the first born over all creation. For by Him all
things were created; things in heaven and things on earth, visible and
invisible… all things were created by Him and for Him. He is before all things
and in Him, all things hold together.

only, who came from the Father, full of Grace and Truth.
John 1:1-14
The Holy Spirits Role –
A. The Renovator
B. The Revealer – Estate agent

Now the earth was
formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit
of God brooded (incubated) over the waters. And God said.
Genesis 1:2
Jesus said, I tell you
the Truth; No one can see the
John 3:5-8

ear has heard, nor have entered into the heart of man what God has prepared for
them that love Him.
But God has revealed

like me from among their Jewish brothers. I will put My words in His mouth and
He will tell them everything
I command Him. If anyone does not
listen to My words. I myself will call Him to account
Deuteronomy 18:18-20

of me, to do your will.

believes in Me does not believe in Me alone, but in the One who sent Me.
Whoever looks at Me, sees the Father who sent Me!
John
12:44-45
God is light; in Him is no
darkness at all
1 John 1
Jesus created everything beautiful and perfect;
there was no darkness. Since God is light where did all this darkness come
from?
Are these names his original
names or did he become something he was not created to be?
Where
were you when I laid the earths foundation? Tell me if you understand. Who
marked off its dimensions? Surely you know! Who stretched a measuring line
across it? On what were it’s footings set, or who laid its cornerstone – while
the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy?
Job 38:4-7
You were the model of perfection, full of
beauty. You were in
Until wickedness was found in you!
Ezekiel 28:12-15
How you have fallen from Heaven, O morning
star, son of the dawn!
You have been cast down to the earth, you
who once laid low the nations! You said in your heart,
I will ascend to heaven;
I will raise my throne above the stars of
God;
I will sit enthroned on the mount of
assembly, on the utmost heights of the sacred mountain.
I will ascend above the tops of the clouds;
I will make myself like the Most High. But you
are brought down to Hades, to the lowest depths of the pit.
Isaiah 14 12-15
Speaking
of the dragon (Satan)
His tail
swept a third of the stars (angels) out of the sky
and
flung them to the earth.
Revelation
12:4
God judged Satan, the fallen angels and
their rebellion. They were condemned and sentenced to an eternity in the lake
of fire.

He might destroy him who holds the power of

Hebrews 2:14-15
What held God’s Just process up?
6: The Human Experiment – God’s Word on Trial
God’s love and Justice was
maligned and the court in heaven ran a re-trial, involving innocent
creatures. God demonstrates His Love and
Justice on earth to His creatures, even when they fail and sin. Satan is
engaging in open warfare on the earth and in Heaven.
His aim is to prove God to be
unjust, unfair and a liar, just like He is.
Key words through out all of
scripture are judicial courtroom words. The court of appeal is in session.
Righteous, just, justice,
honourable, liar, forgiveness, pardoned, retribution, judge and judged, impartial,
guilty, condemned, advocate, witness, truth, falsehood, bribe, accuser,
sentenced, blameless, upright, charge, accuser,
7: Adam and Eve - Became the Marred Creation
God saw that He had made everything and it was very good!
Genesis 1
They had everything they could
have needed; yet through Satan’s deception, by asking subjective questions and
sowing doubt into Eve’s mind about God’s command, Eve was motivated to eat, she
doubted God and His providence partook of the fruit. Adam ate too, out of her hand.
Every person is tempted when they
are drawn away of their own lust and enticed. When lust has conceived, brings
forth sin and sin when it is finished brings forth death.
James 1:14-15
Through doubt and complacency
they sinned and grasped fear. They disobeyed and were both banished from the
garden and the presence of The Lord God, but not before The Lord promises to
return as a human being, as the second Adam to retrieve the fearful situation.
He held out on their punishment and was to come and sacrifice Himself for their
failure, and provide a way back to God and service to Himself. What Adam did,
Jesus Christ (the second Adam) would reverse and provide His creatures the
option to come back to Him.
Sin affects all of creation,
spreading darkness, despair, and destruction, where once was light; Corruption
where there was perfection; Confusion where there was order; Death where there
was once life and hatred where there was once love.
God’s first act was an act of
love and He gave a promise.
And I will put enmity between you and the
woman,
And between your seed and her Seed; (Jesus Christ)
He shall bruise your head,
And you shall bruise His heel.”
Genesis 3:15
The lamb that was slain from
the foundation of the world.
Revelation 13:8b
There is
one God and one mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus, who gave
Himself as a ransom for all men.
1Timothy
2:5-6
In Adam
all die, in Christ (the woman’s off-spring) shall all be made alive again!
1
Corinthians 15:22
The heart is deceitful above all
things and beyond cure.
Who can understand it?
Jeremiah
17:9
All of us have become like one who is
unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up
like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away.
Isaiah 64:6
Since the children have flesh and blood, He
Jesus too shared in their humanity so that by His death,
He might destroy him who holds the power of
death, that is the Devil and free those who all their lives
were held in slavery by their fear of death.
Hebrews 2:14-15
Our problem is one
problem; God’s solution is the One and Only One solution. God’s purpose and
provision is to make every member of the human race a member of His One New
Order, making us new creatures, prepared and equipped for His Glory.
You have made known to
me the path of life; you fill me with joy in your presence, with pleasure at
you right hand forevermore.
Psalm 16:11
Surely Goodness and
grace shall pursue me al the days of my life and I will dwell in the House of
the Lord Forever.
Psalm 23:6
One thing I ask and
this is what I seek, that I may dwell in
the house of the Lord
all the days of my life, to gaze upon
the beauty of the Lord
and seek Him in His temple.
Psalm 27:4
The path back to life, is the path of
faith, faith in One alone
8: Cain and Abel
– Only One Way – Religion is Useless
The Lord said
to Cain, offer the right sacrifice, and will you be accepted, but if you do not
offer the right sacrifice, disbelief\sin is crouching at your door;
It desires you
(to control you) and you must master it
Genesis 4:7
Salvation is
found in none other for there is no other name (Jesus Christ) under heaven,
given among men by which we must be saved!
Acts 4:12
And He Himself is the propitiation
(satisfactory sacrifice) for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the
whole world.
1 John 2:2
Wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to
destruction and many enter through it, but small is the gate and narrow the way
that leads to life, and few there are that find it.
Matthew 7:13-14
I Am the door, by Me if any man enter in he shall be
saved.
John 10:9
And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither
shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me,
is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them
out of My Father’s hand.
John 10:28-29
Let’s make a Name for ourselves and not be
scattered over the face of the entire world
The God who made the
world and everything in it is the Lord of Heaven and Earth and does not live in
temples built by hands,
and He is not served by
human hands as if He needed anything, because He Himself gives all men breath
and everything else.
From one man He made
every nation of men that they should inhabit the whole earth; and He determined
the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. God did
this so men would seek Him and perhaps reach out for Him and find Him, though
he is not far from each of us. For in Him we live and move and have our being.
Acts 17:24-28
Seek the Lord while He
may be found, call upon Him while He is near
Isaiah 55:6
God’s Initiative – Confuse the
Language
11: Abraham
- The Pattern of Faith

Lord and it was credited to Him for righteousness.

Abraham, “Leave your country, your people and your father’s household and go to
a land,
I will show you. I will
make you into a great nation and I will bless you. I will make your name great
and you
will be a blessing. I will bless them that bless you and curse them that curse
you.
Genesis 12:1-3
By faith Abraham, when called to
go to a place he would later receive as an inheritance, obeyed and went out not
knowing where he was going.
Hebrews 11:8
12:
Promised - Land, Seed and
Blessing
By faith, Abraham, when
called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and
went, even though he did not know where he was going. By faith he made his home
in the Promised Land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents,
for he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and
builder is God
Hebrews 11:8-10
Against all hope,
Abraham in Hope believed and so became the Father of many nations. He did not
waver in unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his
faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had the power to do
what He had promised
Romans 4:18-22
The Lord said I have indeed seen
the misery of My people in
Exodus 3:7
Did ever a people hear the voice
of God?
Deuteronomy 4:33
You are a people, holy and set
apart to the Lord your God.
The Lord your God has chosen you
out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be His people,
His treasured possession. The Lord did not set His affection on you and choose
you because you
were more numerous than other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples.
But it was because
He Loved you and kept the oath He swore to your forefathers that He brought out
with a mighty
hand and redeemed you from the land of slavery, from the power of Pharaoh, king
of Egypt.
Know that the Lord you God is
God; He is a faithful God, keeping His covenant of Love to a thousand
generations of those who love Him and keep His commands.
Deuteronomy 7:6-9
Know that the Lord is God; It is
He who made us, and we are His We are His people, the Sheep Under His Care

You yourselves have seen what I
did to
You will be for me a kingdom of
priests a holy nation.
Exodus 19:4-6
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord
and the people He has chosen for His own inheritance.
Psalm 33:12
The ox knows his owner and the ass his master’s crib; but
My people does not consider; Ah sinful people laden down with iniquity; a seed
of evil doers.
Isaiah 1:3-4
They refused to listen and failed
to remember the miracles you performed among them. They became stiff-necked and
in their rebellion appointed a leader in order to return to their slavery. But you are a forgiving God, gracious and
compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in mercy.
You did not desert them, even
when they cast for themselves an image of
a calf, and said, “This is your god, who brought you out of
You heard from heaven. You delivered
them time after time!
Nehemiah 9:17-19, 28
David says the Lords covenant with His Son
If His sons forsake my law and do not
follow My statutes, If they violate My decree’s and fail to keep My commands, I
will punish their sin with the rod, their iniquity with flogging; But I will
not take My love from him, nor will I ever betray My faithfulness. I Will Not
violate my covenant or altar what My lips have uttered. Once for all I have
sworn by My Holiness, and I will not lie to David, that his line will continue
forever and His throne endures before Me like the sun and moon, the faithful
witness in the sky, Selah.
Psalm 89:30-37
Jesus said;
O
Jerusalem,
Matthew 23:37
God is not a man that He should lie, nor
the Son of Man that he should repent. Does He yet speak and then not act.
Does He promise and not fulfil. I have
received commandment to bless, He has blessed and I cannot reverse it.
Numbers 23:19
The Lord said to
Abraham, “Leave your country, your people and your fathers household and go to
a land,
I will show you. I will
make you into a great nation and I will bless you. I will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing. I will bless them that bless you and curse them
that curse you.
Genesis 12:1-3
O God, do not keep silent; be not quiet, O
God, be not still. See how your enemies are astir; see how your foes rear their
heads.
With cunning they conspire against your people, they plot against those you
cherish.
Come, they say, “let us cut them off from
being a nation; that the name of
With one mind they plot together; they form an alliance against you…
Psalm 83:1-4
16:
The Witnesses of Old – People of Renown
The Testing of
Faith, Trust in God’s Word and Walking in Obedience to God’s Word.
On
the day the angels came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also
came with them. The Lord said to Satan, ”Where have you come from?” Satan
answered the Lord, from roaming the earth and going back and forward in it.
Then the Lord said to Satan, have you considered My servant Job. There is none
like him on the earth; he is blameless and upright; a man who fears God, and
shuns evil.
Job 1:6-8
Does
he fear God for nothing?
Remember how the Lord
your God led you all the way in the desert these forty years to humble you and
to test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would
keep His commands. He humbled you causing you to hunger and then feeding you with
manna, which neither you nor your fathers had known, to teach you that man does
not live on bread alone but on every Word that comes from the mouth of the
Lord.
Deuteronomy 8:2-3
Therefore since such a
great cloud of witness’s surrounds us, let us lay aside every weight, and the
sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is
set before us. Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher, completer of our
faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising
it’s shame, and has sat down on the right hand of the throne of God.
Hebrews 12:1-2
17:
The Messiah - Prophet, Redeemer and Reconciler
I will raise up for
them a prophet like me from among their brethren. I will put My words in His
mouth and He will tell them everything I command Him. If anyone does not listen
to My words. I myself will call Him to account

for our sins.

Warnings
Live
in a way to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict
training. They do it to get a crown that will not last. We do it to get a crown
that will last forever. Discipline yourselves, so that after we have preached,
we ourselves will not be disqualified for the prize.

Do not anyone let anyone judge you by what

humility and the worship of angels disqualify you from the prize.

So I say walk and live
in the Spirit and you will not gratify the lusts of the sinful nature, for the

contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that
you do not do what you want to. But if the Spirit leads you, you are not under
law.
Galatians 5:16-17
Let us put aside the
deeds of darkness and put on the armour of light. Let us behave decently, as in

debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. Rather clothe yourselves with
Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of your sinful nature
Romans 13:12-14

for me. Galatians

Philippians 1:9-11
Seeing we are surrounded by such a cloud of witnesses (Old Testament
believers), let us lay aside everything that hinders and the sin that so easily
entangles us, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let
us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfector of our faith, who for the
joy set before Him, endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the
right hand of the throne of God.
Hebrews 12:1-2
In all things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,

nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of
God, that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

them, triumphing over them by the cross.
Colossians 2:13-15
We do not lose heart, though outwardly we
are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For a momentary
light affliction produces in us an eternal weight of glory, that far out weighs
them all. So we focus not on what is seen, for what is seen is temporary, but
what is unseen is eternal.
2 Corinthians 4:16-18
To keep me from becoming
conceited because of great revelations given to me, there was given me a thorn
in the flesh, an angel of Satan to torment me. Three times I pleaded with the Lord
to take it away from me. But He said to me, “My Grace is sufficient for you,
for my power is made perfect in weakness” Therefore I will boast all the more
gladly about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest one me … For
when I an weak, then I am strong!

Numbers and The Tabernacle
Patrick Fairbairn said:
"If God has given all things
their significance, and defined their bounds according to time, space, power,

a fit subject for study, the laws by which this symbolism of numbers is
controlled, require to be ascertained."

we look at God’s system of math, it should fill us with wonder, awe and respect
for Him who has already worked things out and should create within us awe,
respect and an understanding that GOD KNOWS WHAT HE’S DOING! And thoroughly
understands the math He created.
We just simply need to trust Him at His Word.
