New technologies associated with modern humans was this, they found that finer blades and projectile weapons began to appear, which is their way of saying that as this modern man began to evolve into a state of more intelligence, he began to look at things he used to kill his meat and such like and the things he worked with, and looked for improvements. He began to get the knowledge of how to build them, make them, or refine them into a more refined state. His weapons were not just crude instruments anymore: They became refined. On and on it goes about this modern man. They could see that his brain began to grow larger. This is why they want to bring us right off of that line, without any broken link in the chain. I will say yes to this, There was a modern man of what they call man. We do not know what his name was, or what he was actually like, but whatever you or the scientists want to say this modern man was, whatever his name was, by the time the devil and his angelic helpers had succeeded in perverting the whole thing, and bringing all that had evolved up until this time, into a state where God had to deal with it, it is evident that they had desecrated the whole planet. They had turned the animal kingdom into chaos. God let that go on long enough until the traces of this perversion was evident on every area on the face of this planet. God saw what those angels had done. He saw what the animal kingdom He had given them power to rule over and subdue, had been turned into. They had succeeded in turning animal against animal. Animals became meat eaters. Those "people" became people that eat other "people." I noticed as I read here, they have even studied the skulls of some of the later findings and have found how their enemy, whichever the case might be, used sharp knives, which would be flint blades, to cut the meat from the skull when eating them. That tells me this bunch of scientists that are looking for something, need to look up. They can try to find out what kind of knife was used, but they still search in vain, because they are denying the existence of the only ONE that knows every detail. They have found where ribs on certain skeletons have been broken, and because they were not properly set back, they grew back in a deformed state, so they surmised from that, that this man died from lung trouble. It just makes sense, that whatever kind of blow that would cause that rib to be injured that way, would certainly have punctured a lung. That is just the way those educated know-it-all kind of people read these things. Well if they could just see God in it they would have a chance to learn something, but no, that is all they can see. Do you think it is going to bring them a reward? No. It is going to bring nothing but a headache in hell. They do not think such a place exists, but the time will come that they will see first hand. While I am on this line of thought, I want to take some time to show why Lucifer had to be judged. If we can get him judged, then we can build the picture around that. When Lucifer began to realize the powers he actually had, somewhere in the millions of years past, and I do not care how many million because that in itself is immaterial to what we are bringing out, he just simply pushed his authority to the limit. Somewhere way back there, as this animal kingdom that was evolving, just kept getting larger and filling the earth, it no doubt got to a point in time that Lucifer began to think, Oh, what I could do with this power. No doubt he began to think, I can turn the nature of these animals against one another. In order to do that though, he first had to get the other angels to work with him. I believe he had to work a long time to get so many of the other angels to use their power to cooperate, and work with him. Keep in mind, That whole era was the time God used in testing angels. Somewhere in the process of time though, those other angels finally made their decision to cast their lot and go with Lucifer. He was the head of the whole plot. They then began to turn on the animals, the animals that were propagating, living peacefully in giant forests and such like. All of a sudden there was anger, hostility, just like you see among the human society today. Keep in mind, the things you see and hear about, that are taking place in the earth today, is just the devil reenacting his age old game he played in the prehistoric era. I am sure everyone realizes that our lives are motivated by some spirit. That does not mean that everything we do is necessarily done because of the influence of some spirit being. If you are chopping weeds out of the corn, that does not require an angel standing there telling you how to do it. No. But he is definitely there to guide your course in life. Therefore when those angels did begin to pervert and change the nature of the animals they were ruling over, I can see animals begin to kill and devour other animals. The longer this went on, with blood being spilled, eventually there were blood spots all over the face of this globe. Why do you say that, Bro. Jackson? Well, it is one thing to imagine, but when you see remains that prove it, that is another story. In Washington D.C., in the Museum of Natural Science and History, in a glass cage, there is the petrified remains of the body of a prehistoric animal. The animal looked something like our hog, one of average size. The mouth though, was like that of a small crocodile. That animal was is in the process of killing another one of the same species. When an animal kills other animals to eat, that is bad. Bears have been known to do that. This creature has a smaller creature on the ground, with his foot holding it down, while with his mouth he is pulling the flesh from its shoulder, to eat. Whatever the judgment stroke of God was, that is the position this creature was in when life went out of it. Do not tell me God did not know how to strike a blow of judgment when the time came. That thing was struck dead instantly, and whatever followed that, followed quick enough God wanted that thing to remain, to become petrified and become evidence here in the last days, of something that had transpired way back then. That is why all over the face of this globe, you not only find things in a petrified state, but you find it fossilized as well. There are skeletons in various places on this planet that tell a story. Down in Mexico, there is a museum that covers many blocks. They have cases and cases of fossilized bones. Behind the cases of glass there are wall mural paintings that portray the vegetation, the swamp, how it might have looked where this animal finally died and lay there in that swamp until finally its carcase sunk, and after sinking, over the period of the centuries it became preserved. God knew all of this evidence would be needful here in these last days. Do not think it is strange that the angelic family would bring this thing to such a state of chaos: All you have to do is look what Satan and his fallen host of angels has done to society in our day and hour. They announced in the News yesterday, that another truck driver for Ford Motor Co. was found shot to death. Someone just simply came up and shot him. Think of it, What if time was to last another hundred years with the devil doing things like that at his present pace? Would the living generation not live in a time of total fear? It is all because our modern philosophers, who, some years ago thought that living under Christian influence was not right, because people were being subjected to something that was not of their personal choosing. Well regardless of what that kind may say, people could walk downtown, or almost anywhere else at night, without having to be in constant fear of being attacked. Today, people are scared, no matter where they are. Rapists, murderers, child abusers and gangsters of every sort are everywhere, and it is not going to be any better until the Lord Jesus sets up His Millennial reign with Satan bound up in chains. Rev. 20:1-3, says, "And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season." From there, you go right on into the Millennium. Well, this is the kind of society modern man wanted, a society void of any Christian influence, but I ask you, Is he evolving in the right direction? No. He is evolving backwards, going very rapidly toward the kind of society God will have to judge. I can just picture how God said, Lucifer, come here! What have you been doing? Nothing. As God called the angelic family into question, What have you been doing? Nothing. Is this not what we are seeing in the modern court rooms of today, "Nothing?" Law breakers are always pleading innocent. Not guilty. You do not have to be real smart to see that there is a devil running loose in our society, disrupting, confusing and throwing everything into chaos. Well I can say on the authority of the word of God, Those who do not wake up to what is taking place and turn to God in repentance, are all going to go somewhere one of these days and they will not like it, but it will be too late for them to do anything about it. Then they will say, Who did this? You have heard many times, The devil made me do it: Well he certainly played his part in it, but that took place in the Garden of Eden. Ever since that episode, mankind has been born into the world with a nature to sin and rebel against God. Then when you realize there are two spiritual forces vying for your attention every day of your natural life, it comes down to this, Which are you giving the most attention to, the Spirit of God, or that spirit of evil?

SATAN IS A MURDERER

Because of the way our society is today, with all criminals pleading innocent and ignorant of everything they are accused of, I can just see God approaching Lucifer and saying, Lucifer, what have you been doing? And hear his reply, Nothing. Why are those animals dead? I don't know. Did not Jesus say he is a liar, and a murderer, and that he is the father of all such? That can be found in John 8:44, where Jesus was confronted by a bunch of religious Pharisees. We will read that one verse. "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it." All of those angels that joined forces with him are liars also. Why is that blood on the ground down there? Don't ask me: I know nothing about it. After Cain had killed Abel, the LORD said to him, (Gen 4:9) Where is Abel thy brother? And he (Cain) said, I know not: am I my brother's keeper? You can just hear that satanic, sentimental, feel sorry, why blame me when I know nothing about it, stream of lies and excuses. That is the devil's work, and it has been all along, no matter whether it is sixty million or sixty days ago, or when. It is the devil all along, that lies like that. That is why Jesus said he was a murderer from the beginning. What most people do not realize is, his beginning was back here in this era of time long before Adam had a beginning. And he abode not in the truth. Therefore he is the father of the first lie. Whatever he did, him and all of his cohorts, he is the originator of murder and lie telling. You see it today, running rampant on this planet, all because in the last forty or fifty years of this twentieth century, modern man has declared, I want more freedom, I want to express myself. Now we have killing, and all kinds of torture. Some say, How are we going to eliminate this? It will not be eliminated through greater endeavors of education. Man's fixation for greater education and more freedom is what opened the door wide open to Satan and all his demons. Yes, those fallen angels are now known as demons. Satan has commissioned them to make your lives miserable, and to lead you as far from the knowledge of God as it is possible to do. Therefore knowing that, we need to realize that this is exactly how the planet became void, as is found in Genesis 1:1. God had to judge those angels for what they did to the creation they were put in charge of, and they are judged to the point that they are angels of darkness, and no more can they live in His realm and have peace. I can see, as He took them for a period of time, He snatched them off this planet. Then He took this planet. I can see a terrible earthquake begin to develop and it began to go into convulsions and this planet shook and vibrated enough it rocked itself out of relationship to the sun. THAT CAUSED THE ICE AGE TO SET IN. I have explained it like this, Suddenly, cold temperatures began to take over. This tells me this animal kingdom that had lived and flourished in an environment where palm leaves could grow, even in Siberia, now animals, suddenly, in a few minutes time, are shaken and dead. In Siberia, Russian scientists found a bison, something like our buffalo, frozen with meat still on its bones. It had belched up the cud. You know how the bison family is, they are like the cow, in that they chew a cud. It was ready to chew that cud again, but something happened that killed it instantly. You have to understand, if it was not something that caused an instant death, natural death would cause that animal to fall over, and it would bloat, rot, and decay away. In this case something happened that instantly froze it in that state. With that in mind, I will remind you of something else. In Lordsburg, New Mexico, a few miles from there, back in the 1950's, when they were surveying and getting ready to build a highway, a man driving some heavy equipment, scooping up dirt, all of a sudden sees clumps of stuff rolling up into his scoop. He got off his equipment and went to check on it, and as he digs the sand and stuff away from it, huge pieces of bone are discovered. He told the foreman about it, and he said, Well, we better get the authorities. Pretty soon, they had people from universities and everywhere, there checking it out. As they excavated in the earth where they were going to build this highway, they found three giant mastodon elephants that had been walking in single file, when something suddenly took the life from them and they all fell over dead. There is where they were buried, to remain a fact that one time there were giant elephants, or elephant-like creatures that walked the plains of America. Does this mean everything froze instantly? Not at all, but it does mean this, In some places there was instant death, freezing up everything instantly. God put some of those things in a deep freeze for us to discover here at the end of Gentile time. In other places, the temperature just dropped until life began to extinguish. In a few short months, or years all remaining life on this planet had perished. That is the planet earth that Moses wrote about. In the beginning, GOD created the heaven and the earth, and the evolutionists and atheists want to say it just happened. Nothing happens by chance. Common sense tells me there was a Creator involved in all this precision of rotation and so forth: That does not come about by chance. I will agree with them, that this thing started some sixty million or billion years ago: It matters not to me how long ago God first created the planet, and I am not overly concerned about the big bang they talk about. Just say, Yes there was a big bang that set all this in motion, but who was the author of the bang? There is no such thing, that out of chaos, something comes into perfection. God was the architect, the Great designer of all of it. He is the greatest scientist there ever was. Common sense tells me also, that anything this big that would be brought about through the process of a big bang somewhere, would have so much heat and stuff generating from it that for thousands upon thousands of years, it would be utterly impossible that any kind of life could exist here. However long it took for God to see that it had cooled down, and that this planet had reached a state where life could exist on it, since God Himself was the only life in the universe at that time, He began to express certain forms of life on it. I want to show you how He did it. I never realized until the other day, all you have to do, if you remember how a certain thing was said, and you remember what has happened in time past, is look to that. How many remember from history, how Pompeii was destroyed by a volcano? It was totally buried by a volcano. We want to go into that to clarify some of this.

ALIGNING SCRIPTURE WITH SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERIES

It was hard for me to know how to approach this message, what parts to bring out first. However if we do not see God in it, and we do not see that there was a devil somewhere, that in the process of time appeared on the scene and perverted God's creation, we cannot come anywhere close to the truth in trying to deal with CREATION V/S EVOLUTION. We know that some of the angels chose not to stay in their original, ordained calling. This is what threw the whole thing into a negative picture. As I have said, There are many religionists, people who have studied the Bible from a theology standpoint, who will try by their way of saying things, to convince us that all of this creation took place in a time of six days of twenty four hours each. That is just the way they look at it: They fail to read between the lines. There are others that will agree that the planet earth has been here a lot longer than six thousand years, but for some reason they do not seem to have any insight that there might have been the period of time wherein God gave angels a chance, or an opportunity to make a choice as to whether they would cooperate with Him to fulfill His purpose on the planet or go their own way. It is up to you and I to see the reality of all of this. If we fail to see it, then we have a book here, with many passages of scriptures and we cannot possibly know what they mean. Who was the prophet Isaiah talking about when he said, "How thou art fallen from heaven, O Lucifer?" If such an event took place, where did it take place? It sure did not take place any time after our beginning in Adam. Ezekiel also said, speaking to that same anointed cherub, that same spirit being that Isaiah spoke of, (Ezekiel 28:13) "Thou hast been in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the Beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. (14) Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth: and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. (15) Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee." Why do people want to believe all of that took place in our Garden of Eden where God placed Adam and Eve? You cannot possibly make that description there in Ezekiel, fit into any setting since Genesis 1:2, where God began to restore His creation to a productive state. I want to show you how science and that scripture link up. Many years ago when archaeologists began to find prehistoric fossils, where do we hear of them finding them? In central Africa. Out of the region of Africa they began to write their analysis, because they believed creation started there. In Ezekiel 28, it says, "Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God, thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire." It begins to name these stones, topaz, sardius, all those. Did you know that is the region where all those diamonds and jewelry that the world has commercialized, came from, all the way to South Africa, where great mines of gold were discovered? Please remember, those stones have been made into jewelry because somewhere in ancient times they were types of rock that passed through a great extremity of fire. "Thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire." That should let us know that was where Satan had his beginning, where God gave him the beginning of his animal kingdom to rule over. That however, is not where God gave you and me our beginning. Right in here (pointing to circle on chart which represents the beginning of our six thousand years) is our beginning. This is called the Fertile Crescent today. This is the center of what is recorded in the Bible records. Here is where God raised up a people and chose that people to carry the revelation of a Creator, and to be the means by which God's word would be declared to the world. Now if that be true, then somewhere there was an era of time that all these angelic beings were tested and proved. Then we have scientists who want to believe that because they have found the traces of this modern man, as they refer to him, and have found him in different caves throughout Europe and on into the Middle East, even as far as Israel, there was no broken interval between that man and you and I. The Bible does not agree with that idea. The Bible agrees that there was a broken interval. That is why I read the text from Genesis 1:1-2. As Moses wrote about it, he saw the earth, how that in the beginning God created it, so on and so forth, and then the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep. That goes to show that as God gets ready to deal with the planet again, to fulfill a certain purpose, the planet is hanging there in space where it has been for the millions of years that we believe it has been in existence, so let us see what the prophet Jeremiah said about this. He came along years later, after Moses, and wrote his prophecy. Turn to Jeremiah 4. Jeremiah, as he is prophesying about the condition of his people, their doings, naturally he was prophesying of things that God was going to do against them. All of a sudden the eyes of that prophet go beyond the present tense of his hour and he said in the 23rd verse, "I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void, (This is not some future tense picture that he sees. God is giving him an opportunity to see what the earth had been at one time. It has got to be understood in that manner.) and the heavens, and they had no light. (That is why it said darkness was upon it.) I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly. I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, (When was that? That was right here. (Pointing to chart, before our beginning.) Why did he speak in respect of a man if there had never been such a creature that looked like that prior to our hour. How many see the point?) and all the birds of the heavens were fled." This prophet, hundreds of years after Moses wrote about it, sees it like that and knows it was definitely for a purpose of judgment. Now I have to emphasize the fact, that when God executed that judgment against that angelic family, it was His business entirely, as to what time it started. The actual event and execution of judgment, yes I have to say, was something catastrophic, and all it needed to bring it about was a terrible earthquake to hit the planet, one that literally threw the planet into convulsions, and the tidal waves would begin to throw the earth completely out of balance, and that would change its orbit. That is enough to cause the planet to drift out of orbit, from its natural course, just enough to start that cold, cold temperature. How long that Ice Age lasted is none of my business. I will leave that up to the scientists who do not want to admit there is a God directing everything they are able to write about. I will say this for sure, Whatever happened, it lasted long enough it brought an end to life as it had existed at that time. I will say also, Whatever the animal kingdom that had been given to the angelic family to rule over had evolved to, and whatever state it had evolved from somewhere back in here, through to the end when their bodies went into the earth, when God did bring the earth out of that judged state of darkness to start his next go around, this time, he is not letting angels rule: He created man, a little lower than the angels, Psalms 8, to rule over His other created creatures. In Hebrews, the apostle Paul picked up from the 8th Psalm, where the Psalmist wrote, (verses 3-6) "When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; What is man, that thou art mindful of him? For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honor. Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet." Paul says also, concerning man, Thou has made him a little lower (notice) than the angels. What did he do? He crowned him with glory and honor, and set him to have dominion over the works of his hands. That is this right here. That is why when He spoke to Adam and Eve, after He had created them in spirit form, he plainly told them, (Gen. 1:28) "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." Now to you theologians who cannot read the Bible properly, and you think all of God's creating was this side of Genesis 1:1, Why did God tell Adam, AND REPLENISH THE EARTH? If there was not something here in a prehistoric time, then that was the wrong word for God to use. God is the author of every language, so I am convinced He said exactly what He meant, and the word REPLENISH, as I looked it up in the Dictionary, means, TO MAKE FULL OR COMPLETE AGAIN, as with a new supply, to supply or stock it up again. What a simple word for religionists to stumble over. Though it is a simple little word, it contains such a tremendous picture. If God would turn that word into a telescope, you could see from here, right straight back through millions of years of time. That word, instilled in the consciousness of Adam and Eve, while they were yet in spirit form, became a part of their conscience when they were put in a body, and they did not have to ask questions. If Adam had been walking around one day and had run across one of those fossilized bones, do you think he would have stopped, scratched his head and said, Now Lord, where did that come from? No. He would have known that it was a part of the past, a time which he had no part of, but the fact that he has been given a commission to fill this earth up again, to take dominion over this earth and subdue it, take dominion over every fish and things of the sea, over everything that flies in the heavens, and over all the cattle and its kind in the fields, he knew those words, Be fruitful and multiply and replenish, meant, again, fill this earth up. What a picture for religionists to look at, and not be able to see anything beyond what is written there in Genesis. I want you to be assured, when we entered into this Bible picture, we were just starting over again. We were not the first creation God had on this planet. However we are dealing with a form of life that is different than the angels. Now as we have said that, if we can see that somewhere there had to be a stroke of judgement come from God, that brought that era to an end, because angels had made their choice and joined Lucifer against their Creator, we can understand things in the Bible that otherwise would make no sense at all to us. Those angels fell into two camps, those that were faithful to the Creator's purpose, and those who joined Lucifer to defy the Creator's purpose. How long that time span was, is none of my business. That is God's business. I am just thankful to be given the privilege of understanding why God used certain terminology, terms that the world in general can never understand.
