The Blue Sky Above is Water
Just as Described in Gen 1:6
Statistics according to Health Canada show that 1% of those who get infected with COVID-19 die and that the majority of those who succumb to the disease are those over +- 80 years old and/or those who have an immune system deficiency. Wasn't that the same group of people from all previous years thru the cyclical flu season? Taking statistics of the number of people infected and tested positive was never done in the past. Only statistics of those who died of the flu. These statistics are a ruse to deceive and create fear.
Where did the population come up with the idea that the importance of a few is more significant than the majority? Why are we sacrificing our healthy social and productive economy to save a minority, the vulnerable, which in the past our government didn't give a hoot about? Could this be coming from Star Trek, when Captain Kirk told Spock that he risked his life and the life of his crew to save him "because the needs of the one . . . outweigh the needs of the many?"
It is not my intention to flood you with tons of statistics to show you how many families are suffering, how many entrepreneurs are losing their businesses, losing their homes, and filing bankruptcy, and that there are in Canada an average of 10 individuals per day who are committing suicide due to the COVID-pseudo-crisis. Now, fear stirred up by the media causes the loss of all our rights. We are accused of being selfish if we are unwilling to give up our freedom and suffer for the good of a few. REALLY?
Pseudoscience vs. God's Word
"Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?" Luke 18:8b
"Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons" 1 Timothy 4:1, describing the great apostasy from the truth to Gnosticism.
According to wikipedia.org, agnosticism is the view that the existence of God, of the divine or the supernatural, is unknown or unknowable. Another definition provided is the view that "human reason is incapable of providing sufficient rational grounds to justify either the belief that God exists or the belief that God does not exist."
Contrary to popular belief, faith is not about believing blindly. The evidence of God as the Creator is all around us.
"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen," Hebrews 11:1
Why is it taught to Christians that faith is the evidence of things not seen? Is it because humans, through time, forgot that God is the Creator and sustainer of all things? God sent prophets to Israel and Judah, reminding them that He is the true God who created all things.
"Thus says God the Lord, Who created the heavens and stretched them out, Who spread forth the earth and that which comes from it, Who gives breath to the people on it, And spirit to those who walk on it," Isaiah 42:5
"For behold, He who forms mountains, and creates the wind, Who declares to man what his thought is, and makes the morning darkness, Who treads the high places of the earth— The Lord God of hosts is His name," Amos 4:13
"For in those days, there will be tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the creation which God created until this time, nor ever shall be," Mark 13:19
"and to make all see what the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ," Ephesians 3:9 is
Through these verses, God puts a lot of emphasis on reminding us that he is the Creator. YET, the most significant majority of pastors, ministers, and teachers explain that Genesis 1:6 has gone away at the great worldwide flood, that the gate of heaven opens and causes the ocean in the sky and the canopy to vanish, exposing the earth's atmosphere to the grand vacuum of space beyond., and concluded that it causes the end of longevity. Why do we believe the science that teaches that megatons of water are held on the sphere by a mysterious magical force called gravity that can't even stop a butterfly from gliding in the air?
What is easier or harder to believe: Christ's resurrection or the blue sky above is water? While it is required to believe that Christ was resurrected to receive eternal life (Romans 10:9), it is not expected to think that the blue sky above is a dome made of water to receive eternal life.
Yet, to accept God as the Creator and believe in every word in Genesis chapter one is crucial to face all life challenges. Genesis 2:4 explicitly specifies that it is the true history of the beginning of time.
"This is the history of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens,"
Satan lies and deceives, but God creates delusion and confusion.
Is God the author of confusion toward the unbeliever and the unrighteous? Remember Genesis 11:9, when the Lord confused the language of all the earth, and how many times did God confuse Israel's enemies, such as what happens in the book of Joshua chapter 10? God is Not the author of confusion among and within the Church, the believers, toward those who love the truth. God reveals to those who love Him, Proverbs 8:17, John 14:21. Man and woman, from the beginning of time, took on themselves to accept the lies. The lie has become the truth, even among Christians, from generation to generation.
"For this, they willfully forget that by the word of God, the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water," 2 Peter 3:5.
"and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason, God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness," 2 Thessalonians 2:10-12
So why is it that the 21st-century Church faith is so weak? Is it because of the believer's unbelief? Hmm… it is a kind of an oxymoron, isn't it? This statement does seem to say two opposite things. Let me explain: Although it takes only to believe that Jesus is God who died and resurrected to receive eternal life, most Christians pick and choose what to believe in the Bible, therefore succumbing quickly to temptations and discouragement in times of trouble. Yes, we are saved but are unfruitful.
"But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind," James 1:6
Doubting: where does doubting start? I have my fair share of failing my grade 0n faith in my life. It starts from the beginning. Genesis 1:1. I wrote two commentaries about faith, yet I missed the point about the proper foundation of faith in both cases. They are still on my blog if you are interested in reading them. It is only in the year 2015 that I came to decide to believe in the whole bible as is, literally · word for word · line for line · letter for letter · to the letter · exactly · precisely · faithfully (2 Timothy 2:15, John 17:17,) and the most famous verse, 2 Timothy 3:16
"All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness"
While many profess their statement of belief in detail, my statement of belief is "the whole Bible." Does it mean that I understand everything written? No, far from it. It simply means that at this time, the entire truth has not been revealed to me yet or not given to understand. I also concluded that if a verse is difficult to accept, I ask myself: What lies do I not want to let go of? To my satisfaction, I have proven to myself that the Bible is true. I don't debate whether or not God exists or if he is the Creator. I testify that He Is.
Israel is Israel, not the Church; mystery Babylon is Babylon, Iraq, and not the United States of America or the Vatican; and the blue sky above is water.
Is it true that the evidence of God's presence and reality is all around us? Yes, it is. It is manifested through His creation. Through the Apostles' testimony, I chose to believe in Christ's resurrection (John 17:20, John 19:35); therefore, that makes me an elect, for I elect to accept their testimony as true (1 Peter 1:2). A choice to believe. Yet that choice has been reinforced by Gen 1:6. It is the truth, and it can be proven. Thank God and give glory to God for His mercy never failed, even for the cherry pickers.
God's righteousness through faith in Christ alone
"But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus," Romans 3:21-26.
So, here it is as simple as I can explain, not as a theologian but as the simple man I am. I received the love of the truth in my twenties, sought it, and made mistakes, but I kept growing in knowledge. I've listened to many teachers, read many commentaries, and written a lot until I finally decided to make an act of faith, literally believing God's Word. Mind you, it became more manageable after I studied Flat Earth by pure common sense and by accepting the bible as the trustworthy source of wisdom and understanding. I will leave only one link at the bottom to a video from an unknown source that YouTube took down. I then uploaded it on my YouTube channel. Do your own research.
When the going gets tough, I look above to the blue sky that reminds me of the glory of God. It is not hard to imagine God's throne with Jesus sitting on His right-hand side, sitting comfortably with His legs on a footstool made out of Jesus's enemies prepared by God my Father.
It is easy to imagine the rapture and when it will take place... the blue sky above will depart as the Red Sea departed to allow His people, Israel, to escape from the Egyptians. This time, the Church will escape, not from God's enemies but from God's wrath. The rapture will be visible; the whole world will see it. It is also easier to accept the description of the stars falling to the earth as in the book of Revelations. Genesis describes the stars, the moon, and the sun as being in the firmament between the water above and the water below.
"And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind," Revelation 6:13
"Then the fourth angel sounded: And a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars so that a third of them were darkened. A third of the day did not shine, and likewise the night," Revelation 8:12
"Then God said, "Let there be a firmament amid the waters and let it divide the waters from the waters," Genesis 1:6
"All Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work," 2 Timothy 3:16-17
To answer the question previously asked at the beginning of this article, "When the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?" Yes, He will because He promised He would send a helper to teach us the truth from the beginning of time (Genesis) to the end of time (Book of Revelation).
"However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come," John 16:13
Now, those of you who have read this article… you are blessed. It is God who led you to this article. You sought the truth; now you got it. You are now out of the ocean of lies and of deceptions. Give all glory to God.
PS. You are created in the image of God. God already picked you to be part of His family. It is like preparing two teams to play baseball. You have been selected from the beginning of time… and redeemed by the blood of Jesus. You have access to the throne of God. God smiles with joy when He sees you in His court each time you take the time to pray. Now, make the final step and believe that.
The Blue Sky Above is Water
Just as Described in Gen 1:6
So each time you feel discouraged, look at the blue sky because your redemption draws near and "boldly come to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need" Hebrews 4:16
Flat earth... what does the bible say about it?
“Then God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years,” Genesis 1:14
