To Know Him who Laid the Foundation of the Earth

 

Job 38:4

“Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.”

King James Version (KJV)




To Know Him who Laid the Foundation of the World


This work is a joint labor of love by Andrew Sheets, Rick Whittaker and his wife Lena Whittaker and Mom. 


To those with eyes to see and ears to hear.   Although it may be difficult for some readers of this Blog. We request you discipline yourself to slowly and carefully read and study each scripture associated with each comment in this study.  It is only by and through God’s word can His Spirit teach and instill HIS WORD (Jesus Christ) in our spirits.  


We begin with this scripture to prove what is mentioned above:


1 Corinthians 2:14   

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.



John 14:26

26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

 

1 John 4:1  


Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.  2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.


There is a choice that is set before each one of us:

The Light of Truth Jesus Christ which will set you free


VS


Satan’s Darkness which only grows darker still, until no light can be seen. Becoming trapped in a prison of your own making under the guise of choosing universal freedom.


VOID = Strong's #922: bohuw (pronounced bo'-hoo)

from an unused root (meaning to be empty); a vacuity, i.e. (superficially) an undistinguishable ruin:--emptiness, void.

va·cu·i·ty

/vaˈkyo͞oədē,vəˈkyo͞oədē/

noun

  1. 1.
    lack of thought or intelligence; empty-headedness.
    "full of excitement, I listened to my first student sermon – only to be taken aback by its vacuity"

Genesis 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.


What is written in scripture is God’s word:  2 Timothy 3:16.  To know and confirm what we know in our spirit must  be read and meditated upon in scripture.  The King James Bible. 

2 Timothy 3:16


“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:”


Rom 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

The purpose of this study: 


To know Him who laid the foundation of the world. To know Him who created all things and to know by Him were all things made. To know Him personally as your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ the Lamb of God. To know Him who laid down His life that we may live.


1 John 4:9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.



1 John 2:23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.


TO ACKNOWLEDGE HIM ! (Acknowledge: To admit, to confess; to admit to as true. Old English was the word acknow - aknow. This is literally a profound meaning of deeply knowing something or as in this case SOMEONE JESUS CHRIST in the most in-depth personal way. To believe on Him * isn’t simply a mental exercise but rather a profoundly deep spiritual experience that resonates through the SOUL. The Spirit Knows.  The Soul, Mind Understands what the Spirit knows. 


WARNING:  IF mankind refuses to acknowledge what their spirit knows, there are severe consequences:


Romans 1:28 - 32

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

James 2:19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.


*JOHN 6:29"Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent." 


Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

To know of Him is to BELIEVE ON HIM upon the foundation He has already laid  AND ON THE ATONEMENT OF THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB!  The Saving Knowledge of Jesus Christ, a desire to KNOW THE TRUTH; to KNOW HIM who laid the foundations of the world.


John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Phil 4:9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

To ACKNOWLEDGE the Atonement of the Blood of the Lamb is to ACKNOWLEDGE the GLory of God as in the beginning

1 John 2:12 I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for His Name's sake. *  *Look for our upcoming study on “For His Names Sake.”

FOR HIS NAME'S SAKE: By the Blood of the Lamb

Why? The Authority OF, IN, ON AND BY “Jesus’ Name”

Heb 1:3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high: 

Eph 4:6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.



To know Him; starts in the beginning; it always has..

Genesis 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.


2 Corinthians 4:6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.


Hebrews 4:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:

When someone does not know Jesus Christ and acknowledge him, they are under the judgment of Romans 1:18-25. Instead of understanding the Biblical Godhead, their foolish heart is darkened.  And in their own vain imaginations they see Jesus Christ as an individual 2nd person of 3 persons. They see God the Son, the 2nd person of their pagan trinity who is subservient to The Father. THIS IS WRONG. 

In the first century it was anti-religious to show God in a picture in anyway. But in THEIR DESIRE to control the masses; In the second century The CHURCH in ROME (The Pope Gregory the Great and Roman Emperor Constantine) began to depict God as a hand out of the sky which eventually became an old man with a beard. The old man on the Throne. The next thing; the Trinity was born. You all have seen pictures of the old man with a beard which depicts: the Father on the throne as the First Person of the Trinity. The 2nd person of the trinity; God the Son and the third person of the Trinity as the dove, the Holy Spirit; who now they claim; could be the female part of the Trinity. THIS IS ABSURD 

.Galatians 1:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

Isaiah 53:1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?

God the Father is Spirit. Jesus Christ and the Father are one in the same; soul and Spirit and body. 

Jesus IS IN the Father and the Father IS IN JESUS -  Study John 17 verses 21 through 23.  Meaning they are both one and the same. Profound proof is found in Exodus 3:14 and John 8:58.  It is essential to bear in mind The Father is Spirit, The Son, Jesus Christ is the  PERSON - Body - Image of the invisible God (Colossians 1:15) within whom the Spirit of the Father Dwells as well as the self same Spirit of Jesus Christ Himself.  The Father functions as the very SOUL of Jesus Christ Romans 8:9.  You can look at yourself in the mirror. There is only one you and you see your outside body, yet within you dwells your SPIRIT and SOUL. 

Function - the natural purpose of something or the duty of a person.

2. the way in which something operates or works ex: the nervous system

example: the function of the Heart is to pump blood through the body,

Now, That is interesting!

Jesus is the Word, Became flesh and dwelt among us,  John 1:14

Jesus is the Living water; from the beginning He laid the foundations of the world.

All things created by Him Through The Water and the Blood.

Genesis 1:20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath 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.

Col 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

 

God the Father One Spirit One Body 

Jesus Christ the visible image of the invisible God.

as in the beginning 

And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

Hebrews 1:3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high: 

Romans 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

 

Jeremiah 1:5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb 

From heaven to the womb to the grave to the Throne  - THE unblemished Lamb of God. 

Through the process of creation through WATER AND BLOOD GOD formed HIMSELF in the fashion of a man and is the Firstborn of all creation. GOD manifest Himself that we may know Him; and in The SON OF MAN His glory is revealed. God said “Let there be Light” and there was Light for man to see in the darkness. So that we may see AND KNOW the brightness of His Glory! The glory of His only begotten Son.

AND We say it again:  “TO ACKNOWLEDGE HIM”. 

 

Genesis 1: 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

In Genesis we see where and when God set His Righteousness FIRMLY in place; AT the FOUNDATION of the world.

THE FOUNDATION OF ALL THINGS that are or will ever be: 

THE LIGHT -TRUTH - THE WORD of GOD - JESUS CHRIST

God REVEALED HIS GLORY to the formless void called earth and to the darkness.

Isaiah 46:10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

A Line was drawn; The standard of TRUTH set IN THE BEGINNING at the Foundation of the world.

Proverbs 8:27 When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:

28 When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:

29 When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:

30 Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;

31 Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.

32 Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.

33 Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.

34 Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.

35 For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the Lord.

36 But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.

Colossians 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: 15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

   

From the Cradle to the grave God has need of nothing for He IS Life.  

The world was formed as in the womb encompassed by the Living Water as Genesis chapter one states:

Genesis 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.

Genesis 1:9 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.

We see the earth already formed and shaped; appearing out of the waters, and at that moment God REVEALED Himself to the world and the darkness,  EVIL was already there.

For God had cast Lucifer from the Third heaven.

Genesis 1:2   :and darkness was upon the face of the deep.

And God said, Let there be Light!

Hebrews 12:18 For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest, 19 And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more: 20 (For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart: 21 And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:) 22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, 23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. 25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: 26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. 27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. 28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:

What is the whole duty of man? 

Ecclesiastes 12:13

“Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.”

 

Hebrews 12:29 For our God is a consuming fire!

Holy Ghost Record in Heaven; Holy Spirit Witness in earth 

Revealing His Word from Heaven, His GLORY Manifest in the flesh; formed in the fashion of man; thru the untainted womb of a virgin woman who found favor in the sight of God; and whose womb was undefiled.  By His own arm He brought Salvation to man.

Isaiah 44:24 Thus saith the Lord, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the Lord that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;

Isaiah 59: 16 And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him.

Isaiah 63:5 And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me.

Revelation 5: And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon

 

By His WORD a New Covenant was made with man and sealed in His own Blood.

A Perfect Sacrifice was required for the Law of God to be fully justified in His sight. 

In the beginning the line was drawn of what is considered Good and Right in God's sight, and not by man's hand or vain imagination.

Gen 1:4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

In the sight of Him who IS the standard of TRUTH set at the foundation of the world.

see the beginning again

Genesis 1: 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was Light.

1 John 1:3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.

8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

 

It tells us in the above verse the REASON WHY? SPECIFICALLY WHY God gave His only begotten Son: how much more plain can it be, it is written in The King James Bible; God’s word states,

 “FOR THIS PURPOSE”

There are so many more verses throughout scripture in the Old and the New Testament that tell us plainly WHY; since the beginning!

Genesis 6:5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

6 And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at HIS HEART.

Isaiah 63:10 But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them.

11 Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? where is he that put his holy Spirit within him?

12 That led them by the right hand of Moses with his glorious arm, dividing the water before them, to make himself an everlasting name?

 

Note: God our Father has One Heart and One Spirit not 2 or 3, God forbid, No!  No Trinity here folks!

 

1 John 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.

4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.

6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

7 Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.

8 Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.

 

All throughout we see the reason WHY Jesus came 

These Words are sung in praise from many hearts:


 He came from heaven to earth to show the way,

From the earth to the Cross our debt to pay,

From the Cross to the grave

From the grave to the sky,

Lord I lift your Name on High.

 

Here are more scriptures to help better understand that Immanuel has been PROPHESIED THROUGH HISTORY and Sung with praise, since the beginning of Creation of man.

It has been shouted from the rooftops and yet still hidden in the mystery of the Glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ; It has been so AND REVEALED throughout the earth's entire lifespan.


1 John 1:1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;


2 (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)


Manifested: Oxford English Dictionary page 1715  meaning: (Manifest: Clearly revealed to the eye, mind, or judgment, open to the view or comprehension. EVIDENCE.  OBVIOUS. 


3 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

The raising from the dead of Lazarus was God manifesting and revealing His power openly in front of all the people. Pharisees the Rulers and Scribes; the doubters and scoffers.  But when Jesus was revealed to the world it changed everything. 

John 11:4 When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.

This was the open in your face, deny it if you want to, manifestation of His Power. Lazarus was dead, rotten and stinketh, and brought forth again to life and now Jesus was openly showing His Power, His Authority, over death.

John 11:9 Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.

10 But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;

11 Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.

12 On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

13 Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.

 

John 9:3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

Ephesians 1:17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: 18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, 19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,


Habakkuk 2:14 For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.


John 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
