Let us make man in our image

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. -- Gen 1:26 (KJV)

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. -- Gen 1:27 (KJV)

And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. -- Gen 1:28 (KJV)

Many people think that this is the beginnning of the story

But Man is the end of the story

Satan's attempts to destroy the image of God

Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? -- Gen 3:1 (KJV)

And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: -- Gen 3:2 (KJV)

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. -- Gen 3:3 (KJV)

And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: -- Gen 3:4 (KJV)

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. -- Gen 3:5 (KJV)

And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. -- Gen 3:6 (KJV)

And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. -- Gen 3:7 (KJV)

Satan thinks that he has won the victory

And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. -- Gen 3:8 (KJV)

And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? -- Gen 3:9 (KJV)

And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. -- Gen 3:10 (KJV)

And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? -- Gen 3:11 (KJV)

Don't you be listening to the Devil ! He's a liar !

And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. -- Gen 3:12 (KJV)

And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. -- Gen 3:13 (KJV)

Suddenly, Satan's not laughing anymore

And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: -- Gen 3:14 (KJV)

OH Yes, God said there is gonna be a fight tonite

And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. -- Gen 3:15 (KJV)

Satan should have just accepted Adam as his Lord

Now he's gonna get his head crushed

Now his Brains are gonna be splattered all over the sidewalk

Satan calls for a meeting:

Who is the seed?

We must stop him from coming

And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD. -- Gen 4:1 (KJV)

And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. -- Gen 4:2 (KJV)

And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD. -- Gen 4:3 (KJV)

And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering: -- Gen 4:4 (KJV)

Abel became a marked man

Don't you know when you come up out of those baptismal waters you become a marked man ?

And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him. -- Gen 4:8 (KJV)

When you stand up for Christ Satan puts a mark out on you

There is a contract out upon your head,

are you listening to me?

You are dangerous to him,

Oh, if you only new how afraid he is of you

Did you ever see that He-Man cartoon ?

God himself cursed Cain

And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand; -- Gen 4:11 (KJV)

When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth. -- Gen 4:12 (KJV)

Eve declaration brings a quick end to Satan's party

And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth

(a substitute): For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew. -- Gen 4:25 (KJV)

Satan starts getting quite nervous:

Men begin to call upon the name of the Lord

And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos (frail and incurable): then began men to call upon the name of the LORD. -- Gen 4:26 (KJV)

Satan still waiting frantically for the seed to be identified

And Enos lived ninety years, and begat Cainan (Possession): -- Gen 5:9 (KJV)

And Cainan lived seventy years, and begat Mahalaleel (Praise of God): -- Gen 5:12 (KJV)

And Mahalaleel lived sixty and five years, and begat Jared (descent): -- Gen 5:15 (KJV)

And Jared lived an hundred sixty and two years, and he begat Enoch (initiated and teaching ): -- Gen 5:18 (KJV)

And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah (when he is dead it shall be sent): -- Gen 5:21 (KJV)

Satan thinks he has finally found the messiah

And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him. -- Gen 5:24 (KJV)

And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, -- Jude 1:14 (KJV)

To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. -- Jude 1:15 (KJV)

Satan was completely baffled when Enoch left the earth

And Methuselah lived an hundred eighty and seven years, and begat Lamech (powerful): -- Gen 5:25 (KJV)

And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son: -- Gen 5:28 (KJV)

And he called his name Noah (rest, comfort amd consolation), saying, This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the LORD hath cursed. -- Gen 5:29 (KJV)

Satan suddenly figured out the hidden mystery

Seth - (a substitute):

Enos (frail and incurable):

Cainan (Possession)

Mahalaleel (Praise of God)

Jared (descent)

Enoch (initiated and teaching )

Methuselah (when he is dead it shall be sent)

Lamech (powerful)

Noah (rest, comfort amd consolation),

Satan calls for an emergency meeting

Purpose: To reveal the prophetic Word of God

The messiah shall be a substitute, for frail mankind whose wound is incurable. For God himself shall take out a possession for himself to be a Praise of God. And he shall be the descent of this initiated one. In accordance with his teaching, when he is dead it shall be sent. Through this powerful prophetic word of God shall come the promised rest, comfort amd consolation.

NEW AGENDA

INVASION OF THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIALS

And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, -- Gen 6:1 (KJV)

That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. -- Gen 6:2 (KJV)

And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. -- Gen 6:3 (KJV)

There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. -- Gen 6:4 (KJV)

Oh, Can you hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches

But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. -- Mat 24:37 (KJV)

They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. -- Luke 17:27 (KJV)

By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. -- Heb 11:7 (KJV)

Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. -- 1 Pet 3:20 (KJV)

Satan has successfully corrupted the entire seed

And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. -- Gen 6:5 (KJV)

Satan has gotten man to curse himself, now God will destroy the seed

And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. -- Gen 6:6 (KJV)

And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. -- Gen 6:7 (KJV)

But Satan didn't count on one man of faith

But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. -- Gen 6:8 (KJV)

Can Jesus count on you to be that one man of faith?

I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? -- Luke 18:8 (KJV)

Satan continues down through history watching and waiting

Then one day

God promises Abraham a seed

And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir. -- Gen 15:4 (KJV)

Satan tries to get Abraham off of the covenant promise

offers a counterfeit

And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the LORD hath restrained me from bearing: I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai. -- Gen 16:2 (KJV)

Abraham, like Adam, got off of the Word of God

And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; -- Gen 3:17 (KJV)

Just like Eve got off of the Word by adding to it

Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? -- Gen 3:1 (KJV)

And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: -- Gen 3:2 (KJV)

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. -- Gen 3:3 (KJV)

Ishmael was the counterfeit, a world threatening problem

And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife. -- Gen 16:3 (KJV)

And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes. -- Gen 16:4 (KJV)

The covenant seed is Isaac

And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him. -- Gen 17:19 (KJV)

Abraham great test of faith

And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of. -- Gen 22:2 (KJV)

Satan is estatic -- God has lost his mind

And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him. -- Gen 22:3 (KJV)

Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off. -- Gen 22:4 (KJV)

And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you. -- Gen 22:5 (KJV)

And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together. -- Gen 22:6 (KJV)

And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering? -- Gen 22:7 (KJV)

And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together. -- Gen 22:8 (KJV)

And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood. -- Gen 22:9 (KJV)

And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son. -- Gen 22:10 (KJV)

And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I. -- Gen 22:11 (KJV)

Satan's party is prematurely terminated again

And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me. -- Gen 22:12 (KJV)

And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son. -- Gen 22:13 (KJV)

And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen. -- Gen 22:14 (KJV)

And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time, -- Gen 22:15 (KJV)

And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son: -- Gen 22:16 (KJV)

All down through history Satan's adrenalin is racing, Where is this messiah ?

Satan though Joseph might be the messiah,

BUT JOSEPH WAS NOT THE ONE

He thought it might be Moses,

but Moses wasn't the one

He thought it might be Joshua,

a man who could stop the Sun

Samson tore a lion in half

David defeated the champion

Elijah was a man of miracles,

Elisha had a double portion,

but none of these was the one

Then 400 years of silence,

and still no messiah comes

But one day,

I said one day,

The demons rushed into Satan's presence to report

We saw him baptizing in the Jordan,

His name is John,

John the Baptist,

This MUST be the one !

Suddenly, All the the demons scream in terror,

Surely Master, This PROPHET is the one

Just then a man rises up out of the water,

with a voice like a trumpet, thundering from the heavens

This is my beloved Son,-- Mat 3:17 (KJV)

This is my beloved Son

Immediately the final battle is staged

And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, -- Luke 4:1 (KJV)

Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered. -- Luke 4:2 (KJV)

And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread. -- Luke 4:3 (KJV)

Are you really the Son of God ?

Do you really believe that you are the Son of God?

And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. -- Luke 4:4 (KJV)

And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, showed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. -- Luke 4:5 (KJV)

And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. -- Luke 4:6 (KJV)

If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine. -- Luke 4:7 (KJV)

Satan said, you don't have to fight with me, do it the easy way

And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. -- Luke 4:8 (KJV)

And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence: -- Luke 4:9 (KJV)

For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee: -- Luke 4:10 (KJV)

And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. -- Luke 4:11 (KJV)

Satan will try to use the Word of God against you

Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. -- Mat 4:10 (KJV)

And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season. -- Luke 4:13 (KJV)

Satan thought Jesus had blasphemed God

He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. -- Isa 53:3 (KJV)

Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stRonalden, smitten of God, and afflicted. -- Isa 53:4 (KJV)

Satan thought God had forsaken him

My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? -- Mat 27:46 (KJV)

For three days Satan celebrated his victory

Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. -- 1 Cor 2:8 (KJV)

Did you know the Devil wasn't afraid anymore ?

The Messiah was dead.

Jesus was dead.

How could Jesus, now dead, bring himself back from the dead?

Some say boy when I get to heaven I'll have power over the Devil

Suddenly the Devil heard the pounding of Abraham's faith

You see, Abraham believed the Word

Abraham believed the Word

Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, -- Rom 4:16 (KJV)

Abraham staggard not at the promise of God

He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; -- Rom 4:20 (KJV)

And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. -- Rom 4:21 (KJV)

What was it that Abraham believed ?

By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son. -- Heb 11:17 (KJV)

Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called: -- Heb 11:18 (KJV)

Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure. -- Heb 11:19 (KJV)

Remember, God's plan was to make his image upon the earth

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. -- Gen 1:26 (KJV)

The ONLY BEGOTTEN has become the FIRSTBORN

For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. -- Rom 8:29 (KJV)

Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. -- Rom 8:30 (KJV)

What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? -- Rom 8:31 (KJV)

It is time to stand up for God

Now is the time to work the works of God

Don't be decieved by the words,

IF THOU BE THE SON OF GOD

Don't be decieved by the EASY WAY OUT

Don't be decieved by Satan's FALSE GOSPEL

God is saying it is time to rise up

It is time to fight the battle

Blow the trumpet in Zion

Sound the Alarm in my Holy Mountain

Now is the time
