CONCLUSION

Act 3:19  “Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord;

Act 3:20  and that He may send Jesus, the Messiah appointed for you,

Act 3:21  whom heaven must receive until the period of restoration of all things about which God spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets from ancient time.

Throughout the Bible there are verses speaking of restoration or restoring that

which God has made.  In the verses above we learn that this will not be a single

event occurring instantly but will happen through a period of time.  It is a

Restoration Period.  What is it that will be restored?  That is what God’s Perfect

Plan is all about, so, let us take a look at this from the beginning.

By certain scriptures we know that God had already created Angels.  Job tells us this in Chapter thirty-eight where Yahweh is asking Job where he was when the foundations of the earth were laid.

Job 38:7  When the morning stars sang together And all the sons of God shouted for joy?

So we know at the beginning of time, God created the angels as individual, immortal spirits with intelligence, physical abilities and a free will.  The angels loved Him of course, but how could they not love Him?  They had perfect knowledge of Him, His grace and a kind of love that only God can have.  God wanted more than the love that the angels could give him.  Even though the angels had free will, I see it as they loved him much as a favorite pet poodle would love you.  Theirs was an unconditional love, but it could never be the deep love that would approach the kind of love that God can give.  Our Heavenly Father wanted a companion.  He wanted someone that He could commune with.  He wanted someone that had experience.  Someone that had felt sadness, remorse, anger, sympathy, joy, loneliness, and a love for someone else so strong that they would be lost without that love.  He wanted His companion to feel the pride and joy of creating something on their own, a painting, a poem, a novel, an invention, a new way of doing something, or a new idea.  He wanted someone that knew ambition and the achievement toward completing that ambition.  He wanted someone that had felt the great pain of losing someone or something of great value and someone that knew the exaltation of finding that thing or someone of value.  He wanted someone like Job that believed in Him and would never lose that belief.

He knew that just one creature could never provide all this and more.  It had to be a multitude, each with different degrees of emotions and feelings.  Each had to have different talents and skills.  Each one had to be unique and special.  The angels could not be this kind of companion.  They had free will, intelligence and each had different skills, but they had no experience to achieve all the traits God wanted in a companion.  They also have ambition.  We see this in Lucifer because he wanted to rise to the level of God.  Because of this, one third of the angels fell with Lucifer and became Satan and his demons.

Angels are therefore, God's companions and aides in completing His creation of His Eternal Companion.  We see in Revelations that they worship God around His throne.  They minister to God’s creation as we learn in the verse below.

Heb 1:14  Are they not all ministering spirits, sent out to render service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?

So, God made a plan to attain that companion that He could commune with, walk in the garden with, and to take sup with.  He would do it in two weeks. 

Let me explain what I mean by two weeks.  The first week He created the universe, the world, and inhabits the world with all manners of creatures.  This was a regular seven day twenty-four hour a day week.  We know that because the way God counted time during the creation week. “And there was evening and there was morning, one day.”   Also because He rested on the seventh day and since Adam and Eve were here by the seventh day, if it had been different that would have made Adam a different age when he died. The first week became a picture and type for the second week, which was 1000-year days, which I shall call God days.

The last creation was the creatures that would at the end of the second week be His companion, His bride.  They were given dominion over the earth and were told to multiply. Yahweh called man Adam and Adam called his woman, Eve. They were placed in a garden He made for them and He walked in the garden with them in the cool of the day.  It was a paradise with every created plant good to eat, the weather was always temperate, and there was no need for shelters, or for protection of any sort.  When God walked with them He told them all things they should know.  God made a covenant with Adam, and in this covenant along with the blessings given to Adam, God also gave one special commandment.

Gen 2:16  The LORD God commanded the man, saying, “From any tree of the garden you may eat freely;

Gen 2:17  but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die.”

Yahweh was working His plan and everything was perfect.  He only had to wait until the end of the second week, which is six God days for his betrothed to multiply and become His bride.  They shall rest and honey moon on the seventh God day, which will be a God Sabbath.

But Satan saw an opportunity to achieve his ambition.  If he could cause any part of God’s plan to fail, then he felt he would have the power of God.  Even though Satan is intelligent, I do not believe he is even as smart as a normal man is.  First of all, he should have been able to reason that the created could never be as powerful as the creator is.  However, he would be correct if he could bring Yahweh’s plan to fail in any part, he would in effect weaken God, and that would make him seem stronger.  He entered the garden in the form of a serpent and beguiled Eve and she ate of the forbidden fruit and gave some to Adam.  Of course they realized that they were naked because of the knowledge they gained after eating the fruit and this was the fall of man.  This is was a “Paradise Lost”.

When Adam and Eve ate of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, they in effect received God’s Torah.  They received the law so they knew what sin was.  They knew not to murder, not to steal, not to lie, not to covet, not to worship idols or take God’s name in vain.  They knew how to do a sacrifice of worship.  They knew what was clean or unclean even though they probably did not eat meat in those days.  They knew to teach their offspring to honor them and God.  They knew to keep Sabbath.  They knew now they must obey God and not do these things forbidden.  They knew they were going to be punished.

This disrupted Yahweh’s plan but one must understand that it did not cause His plan to fail.  God does not change.  He does not change His mind, or His word, and least of all, His plan for His people.  He set out to have a people, a chosen people to be His companion and that is exactly what He will have.  Because of the free will of Satan used in an evil way and because of the free will and weakness of man being led to make bad choices, Yahweh needed to make an addendum to His plan to account for the actions of others.  He added to His plan to circumvent the evil actions of Satan. The ultimate goal of His plan has never changed and because it is of God, it is a perfect plan.

To set in motion the events that would ultimately achieve Yahweh’s desires; God drove Adam and Eve from the garden.  They still understood that they were to multiply and they had many sons and daughters.  The earth started to become populated with the children and grandchildren of Adam and Eve, but Lucifer stepped in again to foil the plan of God. 

One can read a very good account of this in the book of Enoch.  I realize that the book of Enoch is not one of the books chosen to be canonized, but it is a book that has been around centuries before Yeshua and read by the Israelites.  Even if it is not considered scripture, it is a book that can give a great deal of understanding in the history and events of the Old Testament.

The fallen angels began to mate with the daughters of man and produced a very wicked race of people.

Gen 6:1  Now it came about, when men began to multiply on the face of the land, and daughters were born to them,

Gen 6:2  that the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose.

Imagine if you will that a man had a kennel of very tame and friendly dogs.  Let us say that the Springer Spaniel is the most intelligent, friendly, easily trained and loyal dog in the world and this is what he had.  The man does not want any other breed of dog and prides himself on his pure bred kennel.  Now, let us say that the worse dog in the world is the pit bull.  They are stupid, vicious, without loyalty, and near to being a loaded gun just waiting to go off.  Imagine that someone slips into his kennel and breeds pit bulls with all his female dogs and does this over several years.

This is what happened to Yahweh’s people.  By the time of Noah’s day, pit bulls, or a very vicious and cruel people mostly inhabited the earth.  God made another addendum; He had to clean up the mess that Satan and his fallen angels had made.  God wanted to get His people back on the track of becoming His people and giants were not His choice or in His plan.  He found Noah and because Noah believed, Yahweh saved him through grace.  He gave Noah a mission to build an ark to save himself and his family.  It would be through Noah that Yahweh would work His plan.

A point I have not made before should fit in here.  When the rapture preachers’ talk about when Yeshua returns and it is said that it would be as in the days of Noah.  They talk about two in the field and one is taken and so on.  Well, Friend, it was all the evil ones that were taken, not Noah and his family.  Question for you, after the tribulation and Yeshua returns, could it be that it is the evil ones that are taken and the rest are left for His Kingdom?  Think about it.

After leaving the ark, Noah made a sacrifice to God and God made a covenant with him.  People began to multiply again and the population grew.  Noah’s great-grandson, Nimrod became a mighty hunter and was a leader of men.  He was ambitious and Lucifer saw an opportunity to try to foil God’s plan again.  He inspired Nimrod to become King and build a tower.  There are Bible scholars that believe that Satan possessed Nimrod and that accounted for him wanting to be a god and be worshiped.

God had to take matters into His hands and correct the direction His people were going, so He confused their language.  This created mistrust and people moved away from each other and began to populate the land in all directions from Babel.

Yahweh decided that the way to complete His plan was to choose a people of one lineage that He could nurture and watch over.  Among all the people was Abram who believed in Him.  When Yahweh spoke to him, he believed Him.  He believed in what He said and this was counted as righteousness.  God saved him and set him apart through grace.  He made covenants with Abraham and promised that his descendants would be His people and they would be blessed.  Those covenants and promises were passed to Abraham’s son Isaac and on to his grandson, Jacob.  Jacob had twelve sons and through them would a nation grow that in the future, would become many nations spread all over the earth.

Joseph, a son of Jacob was sold as a slave into Egypt. Yahweh raised him up to be second in command of all Egypt and by invitation, Joseph brought his whole family to join him in Egypt.  God’s people grew and multiplied in Egypt but it became time for them to return to the Promised Land of their forefathers.  God raised up Moses to lead them out.  God destroyed the government, economy and all the gods of Egypt, then freed His people. Yahweh had to separate the people from the pagan Egypt to teach them how to be His chosen people.  Among them were a multitude of slaves from other parts of the world and some Egyptians.  Because they came to believe Yahweh, they were grafted in and became His chosen people also.

At Mount Sinai they had their first Pentecost.  They received the Torah carved in stone.  They received many other instructions of how to be like God and how to worship Him.  After they had learned God’s Torah and His teachings and instructions, they were ready to go into the land.  But, they were fearful and wanted to scout out the land.  They sent spies to see what it was like. Caleb and Joshua reported that the land was indeed flowing with milk and honey and believed God that they could take the land.  The other spies told the multitude they saw giants in the land; fear and doubt kept them from going into the land.  Because of their doubt and unbelief, they received the curse instead of the blessing and God punished them to wander in the wilderness for forty years.

One of the spies that wanted to go into the land was Joshua.  After Moses died, it was he that led the Children of Israel into their Promised Land.  They had to fight many battles and drive out many peoples so they could have the land.  Each tribe was given a different part as their own, except Dan.  Dan was fearful of the Philistines and only part of them settled on their land.  The rest went north and settled near the tribe of Asher. One of the spies that wanted to go into the land was Joshua.  After Moses died, it was he that led the Children of Israel into their Promised Land.  They had to fight many battles and drive out many peoples so they could have the land.  Each tribe was given a different part as their own, except Dan.  Dan was fearful of the Philistines and only part of them settled on their land.  The rest went north and settled near the tribe of Asher.

The people flourished and grew in great numbers.  The children of Israel were Yahweh’s first love.  He declared them His bride. They became a mighty nation and got their first king by the name of Saul.  David was the king next, followed by his son Solomon.  After Solomon died, the kingdom split between the north and the south.  God’s chosen people began to mix in idol worship.  They started keeping some of the holidays of Murdoc (BAAL) and Ishtar (EASTER).  They performed worship rituals that were for strange gods.  The Northern Kingdom, called Israel was the most evil in this practice.  The Southern Kingdom, called Judah was not as bad at first because they had Solomon’s Temple and most of the Levites. Yahweh made a certificate of divorce for the Northern Kingdom and allowed them to be carried off into captivity.

In the Teachings and Instructions that God had Moses write in a book and place beside of the Ark of the Covenant, a man could only divorce his wife for fornication.  Neither the man nor woman could marry again unless one of them died.  It was fornicating with other gods that Yahweh divorced Israel.  One must remember that He never divorced Judah.  They are still His chosen people and His bride.  Here is a great truth for you.  In order for Yahweh or Yeshua to marry again He or the divorced bride must die.  It’s not possible for the seed of Abraham to die out and still be a bride, so this means that God had to die.  That is the greatest description of true love as ever expressed.

Joh 15:13  “Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.

Judah continued to dabble in idolatry but for not keeping the sabbatical years for the land they were carried into captivity by the Babylonians.  After seventy years, which corresponded exactly to the number of sabbatical years, they did not keep from the time Joshua led them into the land. They were allowed to return and rebuild their temple.

At the beginning of the fifth God Day (after 4000 years since creation), God fulfilled the most prophesied event in the entire Bible.  It was His spoken word that He created everything.  It was His spoken word that He planted the seed of His own essence into a virgin and was able to become flesh while remaining Spirit and the Father on His throne.

Joh 1:1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Joh 1:2  He was in the beginning with God.

Joh 1:3  All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.

Joh 1:4  In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men.

I have said that Satan was not very smart. Most of these prophecies were given over a thousand years before they were to be fulfilled.  If Satan was smart he would have prevented just one of them from being fulfilled and he would achieve his goal by showing that Yeshua was not God. But he did not; he could not read the writing on the wall.  He had no eyes to see or ears to hear.  Even if he did, what could he do about it?  He really has no power to stop God’s plan. A very important point here.  Satan has no power over you either.  He can inspire you but cannot make you do anything.  You have to make the choice.  “The devil made me do it!” is hogwash. You choose to commit sin.  You choose through your so-called intelligent reasoning that you do not want to be under the law so you are not going to follow God’s instructions.

It has been two God days since Yeshua hung on the cross and we are at this moment in the very first minutes of the seventh God day since creation.  This is the beginning of the Sabbatical Day or MILLENIAL SABBATH. .  We are the generation that will see all things fulfilled.  Yeshua said we would know the season that all these things would happen and we see the signs of that season occurring around us everyday.  We will see all the prophecies about the end times come to pass before our very eyes and on television.  We have to make a choice to believe God or the traditions of men.  We are at the same place as when Moses stood before the Israelites;

Exo 32:26  then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, “Whoever is for the LORD, come to me!” And all the sons of Levi gathered together to him.

We have to make a choice to be for the LORD and get rid of all that pagan worship from our lives.  Remember God said that we are not to even speak their names.  I have in this book by way of instruction so that you will know their names and worship systems.

Exo 23:13  “Now concerning everything which I have said to you, be on your guard; and do not mention the name of other gods, nor let them be heard from your mouth.

We have to make a choice also to obey His Torah and keep His divine appointments of the feasts and His Sabbath.  Only then can we hope for His rewards.  We can look forward to being Kings and Priests in His Kingdom.  We can look forward to being the bride at that great marriage ceremony and not one of the guest.  This is God’s Perfect Plan for us.  .  It is His plan to restore all things as it was in the Garden of Eden before the fall of man.

Act 3:19  “Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord;

Act 3:20  and that He may send Jesus, the Messiah appointed for you,

Act 3:21  whom heaven must receive until the period of restoration of all things about which God spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets from ancient time.

We are not human beings having a spiritual experience.   We are spiritual beings having a human experience.

Justice is God giving us what we deserve.

Mercy is God holding back what we deserve.

Grace is God giving us what we do not deserve.

Your spiritual strength is not measured by what you believe but by what and how you obey.
