This is the 5th Sabbath of the
7 Sabbaths we were told to count
Not omers,
count Sabbaths
Lev.23
[15] And you shall count unto you from the
morrow after the sabbath,
from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven Sabbaths shall
be complete: [16] Even unto the morrow
after the seventh sabbath shall you number

Today’s topic
A review for today
This week I was going
over evolution and creation again.
It still amazes me
that evolution is still being taught in some schools and universities.
I am not going to get
into all the details about evolution today.
Let’s look at what evolution believes in a
nutshell:
18-20 billion years ago nothing exploded (Big Bang) and created
the universe.
4.6 billion years ago
the earth cooled down and formed a rocky crust.
It rained on the rocks of the earth for
millions of years and created the oceans.
Swirling in the waters of the oceans is a bubbling broth
or soup of complex chemicals. Some of them are carbohydrates, proteins, and
nucleic acids – the chemicals of life.
The first self-replicating systems must have emerged
in this organic
“soup”.
Was anyone there to see that? NO
Here is what scientists have told us through
the years:
In 1770 George Buffon said the earth was 70,000
years old.(Integrated Principles of
Zoology 1996, p. 151).
In 1905 the age of the earth
was officially 2 billion years old (Newsweek July 20, 1998 p. 50).
In 1969, the year we went to the moon, the official
age of the earth and moon was 3.5 billion years. (The
Minneapolis Tribune Monday, August 25, 1969).
Today, students are taught that the earth is 4.6
billion years old.
Also they say that the universe is
older; about 13 to 16 billion years, give or take a few.
I looked up the age of the universe on Google today,
The universe could be 26.7
billion years old,
or twice as much.
Wow it just gets older and older,
I guess any number will do…
Since we all should agree that no one was
present at the beginning of the universe, nobody really knows how old it is right?
Oh well…
First, a few hoaxes that are still in some textbooks:
Neanderthal
Man - No longer considered to be pre-man.
Neanderthal is fully human but believed to have suffered from rickets due to
malnutrition.
Cro-Magnon
Man -
Proven to be completely human
Java Man - Proven to be a deliberate hoax and no longer
accepted by evolutionary scientist, however it is still taught in many school
textbooks as a missing link.
Zinjanthropus- Proven to be a
primitive ape and has no ties to modern man or human development.
Evolutionism's
poster child - Australopithecus
Afarensis or Lucy -Considered to be related to the arboreal ape.
No
evidence has
been found that can tie this to modern man nor human
development. However, lack of evidence does not deter evolutionist
from declaring Lucy to be a missing link
These three
men:, put together their observations and hypothesis
that led to the classic definition of evolution: James
Hutton, Charles Lyell and Charles Darwin.
James
Hutton (1726-1796)
Charles
Lyell: He was a Scottish lawyer in the 1800’s, and he really
hated the Bible. Lyell wrote a book in the 1830’s called the Principles of
Geology. In this book, every page contains evidence if his hatred. Page 302
says “Men of superior talent (perhaps like himself), who thought for
themselves, and were not blinded by authority (perhaps like the Bible)…” He
really mocked the scriptures. He said that one of his goals was to “Free
the science from Moses”. (Life Letters and Journals,
published by John Murray 1881). L
Charles Darwin:
Graduated from Bible College in 1831 and set sail on the H.M.S. Beagle
to collect bugs for an Englishman. He took his Bible and Charles Lyell’s
book The Principles of Geology with him
Another liar
Earnst Haeckell who taught Embryology at the
University of Jena in Germany started this idea. He read Darwin’s book, which
he said was the “turning point in his thinking” in 1860
Although Haeckel’s drawings
were proved to be a fake in 1875, they are still in textbooks
today as evidence for evolution.
That’s enough of these lies…
Scripture says:
Rev.12
[7] And there was war in heaven:
Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his
angels,
[8] And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
[9] And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the
Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he
was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Isa 14 and Ezek 28
We do not know the date when
there was war in heaven, but we know it happened.
Some people still do not
believe in a six-day creation
Let’s read:
6 day creation
Gen.1
[1] In the beginning God created the heaven
and the earth.
[2] And the earth was without form, and void; and
darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the
face of the waters.
[3] And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
[4] And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light
from the darkness.
[5] And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night.
And the evening
and the morning were the first day.
וַֽיְהִי־עֶ֥רֶב

[6] And God said, Let there be a
firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the
waters.
[7] And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under
the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
[8] And God called the firmament Heaven.
And the evening and the
morning were the second day.
וַֽיְהִי־עֶ֥רֶב
וַֽיְהִי־בֹ֖קֶר

[9]
And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered
together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
[10] And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of
the waters called he Seas:
and God saw that it was good.
[11] And God said, Let the earth bring forth
grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his
kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
[12] And the earth brought forth grass, and
herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was
in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
[13] And the evening and the
morning were the third day.

שְׁלִישִֽׁי׃
[14] And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to
divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and
for days, and years:
[15] And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give
light upon the earth: and it was so.
[16] And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day,
and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
[17] And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon
the earth,
[18] And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the
light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
[19]
And the evening and the morning were
the fourth day.

[20] And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature
that had life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of
heaven.
[21] And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after
their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
[22] And God blessed them, saying, be fruitful, and multiply, and fill
the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
[23]
And the evening and the morning were
the fifth day.
וַֽיְהִי־עֶ֥רֶב

[24] And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his
kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it
was so.
[25] And God made the beast of the earth after his kind,
and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it
was good.
[26] 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.
[27] So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he
him; male and female created he them.
[28] 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.
[29] And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which
is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of
a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
[30] And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and
to every thing that creepeth
upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat:
and it was so.
[31] And God saw every thing that he had
made, and, behold, it was very good.

[4] These are the generations of the heavens and of
the earth when they were created, in the day that Yehovah
God made the earth and the heavens,
[5] And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every
herb of the field before it grew: for Yehovah God had
not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the
ground.
Exod.20
[11] For in six days Yehovah made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in
them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore Yehovah blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.
Sin enters the world - Adam
and Eve
Gen.3
[1] Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which Yehovah God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, had
God said, You shall not eat of every tree of the
garden?
[2] And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the
trees of the garden:
[3] But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden,
God had said, You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you
die.
[4] And the serpent said unto the woman, You shall not surely die:
[5] For God does know that in the day you eat thereof, then your eyes
shall be opened, and you shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
[6] 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.
[7] 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.
[8] And they heard the voice of Yehovah God walking in the garden in the cool of the day:
and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Yehovah
God amongst the trees of the garden.
[9] And Yehovah God
called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where are you?
[10] And he said, I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid,
because I was naked; and I hid myself.
[11] And he said, Who told you that you wast naked? Have you eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded
you that you should not eat?
[12] And the man said, The woman
whom you gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
[13] And Yehovah God
said unto the woman, What is this that you have
done? And the woman said, The serpent
beguiled me, and I did eat.
[14] And Yehovah
God said unto the serpent, Because you have done
this, you are cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon
your belly shall you go, and dust shall you eat all the days of your life:
[15] And I will put enmity between you
and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; it shall bruise your head,
and you shall bruise his heel.
[16] Unto the woman he said,
I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception; in sorrow you shall
bring forth children; and your desire shall be to your husband, and he shall
rule over you.
[17] And
unto Adam he said, Because you have hearkened unto the voice of your wife,
and have eaten of the tree, of which I commanded you, saying, You shall not eat
of it: cursed is the ground for your sake; in sorrow shall you eat of it all the days
of your life;
[18] Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to you; and you shall eat
the herb of the field;
[19] In the sweat of your face shall you eat bread, till you return unto the
ground; for out of it wast you taken: for dust
you are, and unto dust shall you return.
[20] And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was
the mother of all living.
[21] Unto Adam also and to his wife did Yehovah
God make coats of skins, and clothed them.
[22] And Yehovah God said,
Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he
put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
[23] Therefore Yehovah God sent him forth from
the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
[24] So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of
Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every
way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
Gen.5 – a review
[1]
This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man,
in the likeness of God made he him;
[2] Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name
Adam, in the day when they were created.
[3]
And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own
likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:
[4] And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred
years: and he begat sons and daughters:
[5] And all the days that Adam lived were nine
hundred and thirty years: and he died. 930
years
Peter
told us:
2 Pet. 2
[4] For if God spared not the
angels that sinned, but cast
them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness,
to be reserved unto judgment;
[5] And spared
not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher
of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
[6] And turning
the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into
ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto
those that after should live ungodly;
[7] And delivered
just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:[8]
(For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his
righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)

God,

[12] In whom we have boldness and access with confidence
by the faith of him.
A little history
from the net:
In the 15
century
Johannes Gensfleisch zur Laden zum Gutenberg ( 1393–1406 – 3 February 1468) was a German
inventor and craftsman who invented the movable-type printing press. Though movable
type was already in use in East Asia, Gutenberg's invention of the printing
press enabled a much faster rate of printing. The printing press
later spread across the world,[3] and led to an information revolution and the unprecedented mass-spread of literature
throughout Europe. It had a profound impact on the development of the Renaissance, Reformation, and humanist movements
Martin Luther German: 10 November
1483 - 18 February 1546) was a German priest, theologian,
author,hymn writer, professor, and former Augustinian
friar.[3] Luther
was the seminal figure of
the Protestant Reformation, and
his theological beliefs form
the basis of Lutheranism. He
is widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in Western and Christian history.[
In the 17
century
Baptist churches have their origins in a movement
started by the English John Smyth and Thomas Helwys
in Amsterdam in 1607.
No Baptists before 1607
Let’s go over the coming
of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah in the future one
day
The day of Yehovah in
the past
This day
of Yehovah may be
during the Kings and the destruction of Jerusalem because of the people’s sins.
The day
of Yehovah may not be the end of this world.
Isa.2 [12] For the day of Yehovah of hosts shall be upon every one that is
proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought
low: [13] And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high
and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan,
[14] And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are
lifted up,
[15] And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall, [16]
And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon
all pleasant pictures.
Isa.13 [6] Howl you; for the day of Yehovah is at hand; it shall come as a
destruction from
the Almighty.
[7] Therefore shall all
hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt:
[8] And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them;
they shall be in pain as a woman that travails: they shall be amazed one at
another; their faces shall be as flames.
[9] Behold, the day of Yehovah comes, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the
sinners thereof out of it.
[10] For the stars of
heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall
be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to
shine.
[11] And I will punish the
world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause
the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low
the haughtiness of the terrible.
[13] Therefore I will shake the
heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of Yehovah of hosts, and in the day
of his fierce anger.
[15]
Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined
unto them shall fall by the sword.
Isa.34 [8] For it is the
day of Yehovah's vengeance, and the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion.
Jer.46 [10] For this is the day of
the Lord Yehovah of hosts, a day of
vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries: and the sword shall
devour, and it shall be satiate and made drunk with their blood: for the Lord Yehovah of hosts had a sacrifice in the
north country by the river Euphrates.
Lam.2 [22] Thou hast called as in a solemn
day my terrors round about, so that in the day of Yehovah's
anger none
escaped nor remained
Ezek.13 [5] You have
not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the house of Israel to
stand in the battle in the day of Yehovah.
Ezek.30 [1] The word of Yehovah came
again unto me, saying,
[2] Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus said the Lord Yehovah ; Howl you,
Woe worth the day [3] For the day is
near, even the day of Yehovah is
near, a cloudy day; it shall be the time of the heathen.
Amos 5 [18] Woe unto you that desire the
day of Yehovah! to what
end is it for you? the day of Yehovah is darkness, and not light.
[20] Shall not the day of Yehovah be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?
Obad.1 [15] For the
day of Yehovah is near upon all the heathen: as
thou hast done, it shall be done unto you: your reward shall return upon thine own head.
Zeph.1 [7] Hold your peace at the presence of
the Lord Yehovah: for the day of Yehovah is at hand: for Yehovah
had prepared a sacrifice, he had bid his guests.[8]
And it shall come to pass in the day of Yehovah's
sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the king's children, and all
such as are clothed with strange apparel.
[14] The great day of Yehovah is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of Yehovah: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.
[15] That day
is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess,
a day of clouds and thick darkness,[16] A day of the trumpet and alarm against
the fenced cities, and against the high towers.
[17] And I will
bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like
blind men, because they have sinned against Yehovah:
and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung.
[18]
Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the
day of Yehovah's wrath; but the whole land shall
be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy
riddance of all them that dwell in the land.
Zeph.2 [2] Before the decree bring forth,
before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of Yehovah come upon you, before the day of Yehovah's
anger come
upon you.
[3] Seek Yehovah,
all you meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness,
seek meekness: it may be you shall be hid in the day of Yehovah's anger.
Zech.14 [1] Behold, the day of Yehovah comes, and your spoil shall be divided in the
midst of you.
[2] For I will gather
all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and
the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go
forth into captivity, and the residue of the people
shall not be cut off from the city.
[3] Then shall Yehovah go
forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of
battle.
John the Baptist - This happened already
Mal.4 [5] Behold, I will send you Elijah
the prophet
before the
coming of
the great and dreadful day of Yehovah:
Mat. 17 [10] And
his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elijah must
first come?
[11] And Yeshua answered and said unto them,
Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.
[12] But I say unto you, That
Elijah is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto
him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.
[13] Then the disciples understood that he spake
unto them of John the Baptist.
The Baptism of the Holy Spirit
Acts 7 [52] Which of
the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which showed before of the coming of
the Just One; of
whom you have been now the betrayers and murderers:[53]
Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it.
[54] When they heard
these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their
teeth.
[55] But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly
into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Yeshua
standing on the right hand of God,[56] And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the
Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
Joel 1 [15] Alas for the day! for the day of Yehovah is at hand, and as a destruction from
the Almighty shall it come.
Joel 2 [1] Blow you the trumpet in Zion, and
sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land
tremble: for the day of Yehovah comes, for it is nigh at hand;
[11] And Yehovah
shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is
strong that executeth his word: for the day
of Yehovah is great and very terrible; and
who can abide it?
Acts 2 [16] But this is that which was
spoken by the
prophet Joel;
Joel 3 [14] Multitudes, multitudes in the
valley of decision: for the day of Yehovah is
near in the valley of decision.
[15] The sun and the
moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.
[16] Yehovah also shall
roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and
the earth shall shake: but Yehovah will
be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.
The coming of the Son of
man in the future
[1] And Yeshua went out, and departed from the temple: and his
disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings
of the temple.
[2] And Yeshua said unto them, See ye not all
these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not
be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
[3] And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the
disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be?
and what shall be the sign of your
coming, and of the end of the world?
Read the whole chapter
[27] For as the lightning cometh out
of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall
also the coming of the Son of man be.
[37] But as the days of Noah were, so
shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
[38] For as in the days
that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving
in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the
ark,[39]
And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man
be.
1 Cor.1 [7] So that you come behind in no
gift; waiting
for the coming
of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah:
1 Thes.3 [13] To the
end he may stablish your hearts unblameable
in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah with all his saints.
1Thes.5 [23] And the
very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and
soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
2 Thes.2[1] Now we beseech you,
brethren, by the coming of our Lord Yeshua
the Messiah, and by our gathering together unto him,
2 Pet.1 [16] For we have not followed
cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming
of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, but were
eyewitnesses of his majesty.
2 Pet.3 [12] Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the
day of God,
wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall
melt with fervent heat?
Jas.5 [7] Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the
coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waits for the
precious fruit of the earth, and had long patience for it, until he receive the
early and latter rain.
[8] Be also patient; establish your hearts: for the
coming of the Lord draws nigh.
