Genesis 1; Verses 3-5; The First Day in the Flesh Age; Free Will

Continuing on in Genesis (beginnings).  Thank you for checking out the post. †

We just closed out the first Earth Age (between Genesis 1:1-2).

Now we cover the second Earth Age (aion)--the flesh age, beginning with Genesis 1:3,

(Genesis 1:3-5) "And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

(Now the Sun, moon, and stars are not created until the 4th day. This is before the firmament. The end will be just like the beginning before the firmament as well. As Revelation 21:1 states. The beginning of the Eternity Age Heaven comes to Earth, and we have a rejuvenated Earth. There will be no need for the sun, moon, and stars. No astronomy. NASA won't be there either. The earth laid waste in darkness from the katabole as we exhaustively went through in Genesis 1:1-2. Please refer back if needs be).

4And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.


(Everything God created He saw it good. This is where God created free choice/will. As light is good, and evil is darkness. Free will is the correct doctrine. Most have free will. This is consistent throughout all the Bible. No one can say God made me do it. No one can say satan made me do it. We are responsible for our own sin. Not if you repented, it's blotted out. The Lord does not even want to hear about it again. There is no greater humbling than saying no to one's self and bowing to YHVH, greater then them).

Remember, in Genesis 1 we also referenced Isaiah 45 as the Lord is going through time here. All three Heaven and Earth Ages in Isaiah 45 as well.

(Isaiah 45:7) "I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things."

(The LORD created the option to do good or evil).

5And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day."


(This is the first day in the flesh Age).

And those that believe upon Him and do right (righteousness) are children of light, and those that don't are children of darkness:

(I Thessalonians 1:5) "Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness."


As God will be our light in the eternity. Spiritually and physically, as the spiritual is the physical in the eternity. Because we're in spiritual breath of life bodies, that never age, get sick, and feel sadness. The spiritual is and will be a physical place. Just another realm.

There will be no Sun, moon, and stars in the eternity. It will go back to the way it was just before the firmament (surface) from the 4th day, when astronomy was created:

(Revelation 21:23-24) "And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

24And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it."

Continuing on in Isaiah 45:8. Remember verse 7 the creation of to do good or evil.

8Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have created it.

(Amazing? He knew what man would right from the get-go. From verse 7. Using that free will to do evil. Now verse 8 that salvation in access to the tree of life. The access that was denied for our own good in Genesis 3:22-24).

9Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?

Right off the bat the Lord hits the human condition before salvation. Blaming Him. What we make with our hands does it talk back? Blame us? Why did you make me? Why did you make me to be like this? No, nonsense. This is a place of condemnation. So we should we view it accordingly.

10Woe unto him that saith unto his father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth?

(Here you have it).

11Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me.

(Pleading with people. Talk to Him. Cry out to Him. This is an absolute plea in long-suffering).

12I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.

Putting man in His in place. Who are you to make what I created and not think of me?

13I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith the LORD of hosts."

Salvation. It's free. Remember they had to buy the animals? Remember He desires mercy first over sacrifice. Meaning, we cannot sacrifice until we're able to relate through mercy and the forgiveness of sins. You cannot buy salvation. That collection plate is not deep enough!

On to the New Testament and the great book of James:

God cannot cause you to do evil. Which doing so puts the responsibility of ours sins on Him. Just like one cannot say, "satan made me do it."

So saying there is no free choice/will is false teaching and a very cruel teaching as well :

(James 1:13-17) "Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:

Tempted here, actually means from the Greek to test one maliciously, out of spite with mischievous motives, to test whether it can be or done or not. In other words, when God does test someone it's not for their harm, but for their own good. So it is with any test, we study for it, and learning increases. Then we study from it. Nothing bad can from from that. Testing is to sharpen us up. To see if we're fit).

This is so important to understand it's us here. Because a lot of people are afraid to even approach God because of this. Thinking God has cursed them living in condemnation. Why is God doing this to me? No we did it and do it to ourselves.

14But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust (desires), and enticed.

(We're drawn away by our desires/lusts first just as Eve then Adam in the garden of Eden, through impure motives. Now if God is maliciously testing us with our weaknesses. It's accusing God of the evil in us. Obviously, more nonsense if that were so).

(This takes away free will, and puts the blame on God, and the responsibility of our sins on Him. Thus the importance of free will).

The opposite would be God programming us to love Him, without a choice. Taking away our choice to good or evil.

15Then when lust (desires) hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

(Death of course is satan. The correct doctrine is key in taking responsibility for our own sins and guilt then to be repented of. Otherwise, you don't even know what to repent from).

16Do not err, my beloved brethren.

(Make no mistake about any of this).

17Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness (change), neither shadow of turning."

James stressing the point nothing has changed since the beginning. Using that light references here as Christians we children of light.

(There is no evil intent behind what the Lord does. If we're asking God in sincerity you're recognizing He's your Father, and your His child. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever).

Hope you enjoyed this study. In the remaining creations days we will take a look at how they amazingly parallel the trumpets also.

Amen †
