INTRODUCTION

Travelling back billions of years, before our solar system came into existence, before the synthesis of the first atoms. It is now thought Edwin Hubble's Big Bang theory caused pure dynamic energy matter and anti matter to instantly appear fifteen billion years ago (4.6 x 10^17 seconds).

The "intelligent designer" behind this has more dynamic energy than it is possible to imagine existing outside our known dimensions. At a distant point in time, this lone designer commenced a Great Creative Plan. Designed in stages developing over millions of our years and to this day has not yet been completed.

This massive creative project is for the sole purpose of generating a family.  To bring into existence a family of billions, a two part family "spirit beings" and "human beings". The family plan was to be constructed through many stages. First generating the birth and development of the "spirit being" part inhabiting the same realm as the creating life providing Father of this family, later expanding it with a "human being" section of the family living in a physical realm.


CREATION PROJECT,  STAGE ONE  

After many years of independent searching for information about this "intelligent designer" under the assumption that such an "intelligent designer" would have made some record about his design project and having studied all major and many of the minor religious books available in the world, it has been found that only the bible stands up to objective examination yet at the same time condemns the so called Christian religions by their misrepresentation of this information. See foot note at end of chapter.

At the start point this "intelligent designer" formed a first creature "Son" inheriting his "image" and spirit nature. Created with the potential for developing and reflecting his creating father's personal characteristics. In order to develop these qualities, the element of "free will" had to be built in together with a potential for perpetual life

The Bible book of Colossians identifies this first created spirit member of the family.  Colossians 1:15  says "He is the likeness of the invisible God the one born first of all creation".  This very first created individual held a unique position, the first and only one formed directly by the family Father. Verse 16 says "by means of him everything else was created, the invisible things in the heavens and the visible things on the earth".

Many billions of years later this same "first-born" Son acquired a new title with which we have become more familiar, "Jesus". Until then he went under a different title, 'The Word' or spokesman (in Greek = Logos). John 1:1-3, states "In the beginning (of creation) the Word was, and the Word was with God, and the word was God's. This one was in the beginning with God. All created things came into existence through him, not one thing came into existence without his involvement". If we consider the omnipotent Father as the generator and architect of the family creation project, then the Word was his master construction manager, or director.

Proverbs 8:22-30 “Yhwh himself produced me as the beginning of his way, the earliest of his achievements of long ago. 23 From time indefinite I was installed, from the start, from times earlier than the earth. 24 When there were no watery deeps I was brought forth as with labour pains, when there were no springs heavily charged with water. 25 Before the mountains themselves had been settled down, ahead of the hills, I was brought forth as with labour pains, 26 when as yet he had not made the earth and the open spaces and the first part of the dust masses of the productive land. 27 When he prepared the heavens I was there; when he decreed a circle upon the face of the watery deep, 28 when he made firm the cloud masses above, when he caused the fountains of the watery deep to be strong, 29 when he set for the sea his decree that the waters themselves should not pass beyond his order, when he decreed the foundations of the earth, 30 then I came to be beside him as a master worker, and I came to be the one he was specially fond of day by day, I being glad before him all the time,


CREATION PROJECT, STAGE TWO

The second phase involved this first created son in the role of director of operations. His Father handed to him his 'words' of design instructions for extending the family, increasing its population in their fourth dimensional realm. They to would carry the same potential image characteristics of "free will" and potential for perpetual life. Not interested in robots or cybernetic machines or animals for His family. He could derive no pleasure from that, any more than a genuine father today would wish for cybernetic children or animal pets as his family. So 'free will', the ability to choose, became a characteristic of the family members.

Before the family was increased an immense fourth dimensional heavenly ecology needed to be designed and constructed in order to support this planned family expansion of spirit Sons; a living functional environment catering for all their needs and recreations; a perfect habitat on the spirit plain meticulously designed for habitation and population, a balanced ecology for the enjoyment of perpetual life, incorporating ongoing wonders and endless stimulation, a truly awesome, heavenly environment.

The "intelligent designer" of this family project gave himself the name "Yahweh" sometimes translated Jehovah. Yahweh recruited his first directly created son in the project handing to him his plans and instructions along with the dynamic power needed to develop and expand the spirit family. By this means God engineered into existence a theocracy of millions, possibly billions of spirit family sons. Each individually created with the potential for perpetual life, along with rational free will with which, if they so chose, they could develop the characteristics of their Father, reflecting his image in themselves. As Spirit beings do not procreate in the same way we do they do not have male or female gender but are created individually. Each as created was recruited and involved in developing this expanding family plan under the direction of Gods chief master worker.  

We are not informed as to what extent the population of this spirit realm increased during this phase, or how long it lasted, but it must have been completed at least fifteen billion years ago before the Big Bang occurred. However, scriptural investigation does reveal that there exists at least a population in excess of one hundred million in this heavenly realm (10,000 x 10,000 = 100,000,000  Dan 7:10) all more than 15 billion years old

Job 38:4-7 Where did you happen to be when I founded the earth? Tell me, if you do know understanding. 5 Who set its measurements, in case you know, or who stretched out upon it the measuring line? 6 Into what have its socket pedestals been sunk down, or who laid its cornerstone, 7 When the morning stars joyfully cried out together, And all the sons of God began shouting in applause?

The 'Logos' or Word carried out to the letter the 'words' and instructions of these phases of God's plan for populating the spirit realm. 


CREATION PROJECT, STAGE THREE.

Once the spirit-being part of the family had been completed the next stage takes the family project into an entirely new dimension, the physical material dimension. Yahweh designed the enlargement of His spirit family by creating a further population of physical or 'human sons', this time within a material environment. These ones, although created in a physical form, would also receive "free will" providing the potential as sons to mirror image the qualities of their father and the potential for perpetual life.

Genesis 1:26  And God went on to say: “Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness, and let them have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and the domestic animals and all the earth and every moving animal that is moving upon the earth.”

Plans and instructions for this phase were again handed to the director of operations. Now the entire family in the spirit realm were involved in a combined creative construction operation, co-ordinated through the "Word", the master director of God's works.

The first part of the material project is briefly stated "In the beginning (of material creation) God created the (material) heavens and the earth" (Genesis 1:1,). Again before physical sons of God could be created, a supporting material environment needed to be constructed, an ecology designed to support this family extension of human being sons, catering for all their needs and recreations. A perfect habitat on the material plain designed for inhabiting and populating, incorporating a balancing ecology for maximising the enjoyment of perpetual life with its own ongoing wonders for endless stimulation, a second truly awesome ecology.

First, matter, protons and atoms needed to be generated into existence. The energy and power required to generate anti matter and matter was provided by God (big bang). Part of this matter was eventually fashioned into a counterbalancing universe with a solar system containing a special planet capable of being developed further into an ecology that would support the life of physical sons of God. 

This material preparation work of the Universe took billions of years. The next phase of the material creative plan was to develop and refine the planet earth this had a fixed time schedule, divided into seven equal time divisions  of  7,000 years, 7 x 7,000 years, a total period of 49,000 years (evidence on these time periods is provided further on). The first four time divisions covering 28,000 years were used in refining the planet earth into a more sophisticated environment needed to support life. Step by step all the necessary support fuels for life were introduced, an atmosphere containing oxygen and food by way of vegetation.

Genesis 1:2-19 Now the earth proved to be formless and waste and there was darkness upon the surface of the watery deep; and Gods active force was moving to and fro over the surface of the waters. 3 And God proceeded to say: “Let light come to be.” Then there came to be light. 4 After that God saw that the light was good, and God brought about a division between the light and the darkness. 5 And God began calling the light Day, but the darkness he called Night. And there came to be evening and there came to be morning, a first day.( + 7,000 years) 6 And God went on to say: “Let an expanse come to be in between the waters and let a dividing occur between the waters and the waters.” 7 Then God proceeded to make the expanse and to make a division between the waters that should be beneath the expanse and the waters that should be above the expanse. And it came to be so. 8 And God began to call the expanse Heaven. And there came to be evening and there came to be morning, a second day (+ 14,000 years). 9 And God went on to say: “Let the waters under the heavens be brought together into one place and let the dry land appear.” And it came to be so. 10 And God began calling the dry land Earth, but the bringing together of the waters he called Seas. Further, God saw that [it was] good. 11 And God went on to say: “Let the earth cause grass to shoot forth, vegetation bearing seed, fruit trees yielding fruit according to their kinds, the seed of which is in it, upon the earth.” And it came to be so. 12 And the earth began to put forth grass, vegetation bearing seed according to its kind and trees yielding fruit, the seed of which is in it according to its kind. Then God saw that [it was] good. 13 And there came to be evening and there came to be morning, a third day (+21,000 years). 14 And God went on to say: “Let luminaries come to be in the expanse of the heavens to make a division between the day and the night; and they must serve as signs and for seasons and for days and years. 15 And they must serve as luminaries in the expanse of the heavens to shine upon the earth.” And it came to be so. 16 And God proceeded to make the two great luminaries, the greater luminary for dominating the day and the lesser luminary for dominating the night, and also the stars. 17 Thus God put them in the expanse of the heavens to shine upon the earth, 18 and to dominate by day and by night and to make a division between the light and the darkness. Then God saw that [it was] good. 19 And there came to be evening and there came to be morning, a fourth day (28,000 years). 

The fifth and sixth periods covering a further 14,000 years were used to establish a complex living animal ecology. Then, toward the end of the sixth time division after nearly 42,000 years of work, everything had been prepared for the first human sons of God's family to be created in this new pristine environment on planet earth.

Genesis 1:20-31 And God went on to say: “Let the waters swarm forth a swarm of living souls and let flying creatures fly over the earth upon the face of the expanse of the heavens.” 21 And God proceeded to create the great sea monsters and every living soul that moves about, which the waters swarmed forth according to their kinds, and every winged flying creature according to its kind. And God got to see that [it was] good. 22 With that God blessed them, saying: “Be fruitful and become many and fill the waters in the sea basins, and let the flying creatures become many in the earth.” 23 And there came to be evening and there came to be morning, a fifth day ( + 35,000 years).

24 And God went on to say: “Let the earth put forth living souls according to their kinds, domestic animal and moving animal and wild beast of the earth according to its kind.” And it came to be so. 25 And God proceeded to make the wild beast of the earth according to its kind and the domestic animal according to its kind and every moving animal of the ground according to its kind. And God got to see that [it was] good. 26 And God went on to say: “Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness, and let them have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and the domestic animals and all the earth and every moving animal that is moving upon the earth.” 27 And God proceeded to create the man in his image, in Gods image he created him; male and female he created them. 28 Further, God blessed them and God said to them: “Be fruitful and become many and fill the earth and subdue it, and have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and every living creature that is moving upon the earth.” 29 And God went on to say: “Here I have given to you all vegetation bearing seed which is on the surface of the whole earth and every tree on which there is the fruit of a tree bearing seed. To you let it serve as food. 30 And to every wild beast of the earth and to every flying creature of the heavens and to everything moving upon the earth in which there is life as a soul I have given all green vegetation for food.” And it came to be so. 31 After that God saw everything he had made and, look! it was very good. And there came to be evening and there came to be morning, a sixth day (+ 42,000 years).



CREATION PROJECT, STAGE FOUR

The creation of the first son of God's physical family involved bringing into existence an entirely new design concept, a composite two part, pro-creating male/female unit. Near the end of the sixth 7,000 year time division, after nearly 42,000 years of preparation work on the planet earth a small section of this planet was selected for cultivation up to a much higher standard than the rest. A perfect earthly paradise environment, an area of sophisticated physical wonders and diversities. Everything was ready for the first human couple to be created in this awesome pristine garden environment on the prepared planet earth.

The term “Man” was used to describe the complete male/female married unit (Gen 5:2), comprising all the male and female complementing attributes, together providing the potential for reflecting Gods image, his qualities. By developing these qualities within a balanced married couple unit they had the potential to reflect in themselves the image of their father. These qualities were divided between the male and female gender halves of the composite “Man” when amalgamated, had the potential of developing the balanced "image of God".

Designed as a “Man” pair unit, or as "one flesh" Gen 2:24 That is why a man will leave his father and his mother and he must stick to his wife and they must become one flesh. Each of the first human couple carried perfect DNA.

Gen 2:21-23 Hence Yhwh God had a deep sleep fall upon the man and, while he was sleeping, he took one of his ribs and then closed up the flesh over its place. 22 And Yhwh God proceeded to build the rib that he had taken from the man into a woman and to bring her to the man. 3 Then the man said: “This is at last bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh. This one will be called Woman, Because from man this one was taken.”

The male a rib was removed and used to create a kind of "clone" genetically engineered to create a female, a Man with a womb, or woman. United as a harmoniously complimenting male and female unit. Together their characteristics and physical formation could be described as a complimenting 'one' flesh with the ability to reproduce. As such this composite "Man" contained all the potential for becoming a perfect “Son” of God within His Great Family with the ability to cultivate and develop the image of their family Father made possible through the exercise of their free will.

They too as members of God's family were granted the potential of perpetual life. This perpetual life form would not suffer any of the effects of ageing, maintaining full health and dynamic energy indefinitely in perfect physical bodies. Human beings were designed to live under perfect material and climatic conditions, created with minds capable of appreciating higher spiritual concepts. Enjoying the wonders of nature and the endless pleasures and variations of the ever changing animal ecology provided for them. Created in Gods image, with free will they had the potential rational of developing the family father's high characteristics and standards.




THE SEVENTH 7,000 YEAR TIME DIVISION

The last, or seventh 7,000 year time division into the physical refining the construction plan of the planet earth for the human part of the family, between 42,000 to 49,000 years became a pause or rest period for God and the spirit side of the family from their family creative activities. The remaining family expansion assignments were to be completed by the earth's inhabitants within this next 7,000 year period. Just as spirit being family members had been involved in the spirit family expansion project, so now it was the turn of human being members of the family to be actively involved in developing the human part of the family and its expansion in this great family project.

Genesis 1:28 Further, God blessed them and God said to them: “Be fruitful and become many and fill the earth and subdue it, and have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and every living creature that is moving upon the earth.”

This assignment was for the expansion of the human family through procreation in order to "fill" the earth. Populating the planet with further sons of the human family with free will, potentially inheriting the personality or 'image' of Yahweh. Filling the earth with these potential Sons of God would require developing and cultivating the earth bit by bit as the earthly family grew, bringing it all up to the high standard set by God in his prepared sample, the model Garden of Eden, 

A period of 7.000 years (the seventh "day" period) was set aside to complete the assignment of developing the earth and populating it with the human side of the family of God. This still on going creation plan required the bringing into existence a large physical population of earthly Sons of God's great family.

In the beginning the two sides of the Family, Spiritual and Physical Sons, interrelated with each other, communicated and associated together. They were after all, 'Brothers' in the same great family. When the human part of the family is finally completed, the combined parts will constitute the Great family of God, all related Sons of God. When the family is full of proved and tested sons, the family project will have been completed.

Six creative time periods had been used to form and forge the rough earth up to the point where it was perfect for human sons of God to inhabit.  These six periods each 7,000 years long totalled 42,000 years. The final 7,000 year period for completion of the family project was handed over to Man to complete. So after 49,000 years the human part of the family human project was to have been completed. God would come out of his rest period and take control again. We are informed in the Revelation that during a further period of 1,000 years God would administer and settle all outstanding matters, offering rewards to those who had faithfully carried out His prescribed requirements. Offering them ever lasting life from the symbolic tree of life, this completes the 50,000 year Great Jubilee cycle.

Gen 3:22-24
22 And Yhwh God went on to say: “Here the man has become like one of us in knowing good and bad, and now in order that he may not put his hand out and actually take fruit also from the tree of life and eat and live to time indefinite,—” 23 With that Yhwh God put him out of the garden of Eden to cultivate the ground from which he had been taken. 24 And so he drove the man out and posted at the east of the garden of Eden the cherubs and the flaming blade of a sword that was turning itself continually to guard the way to the tree of life.

Rev 22:1-2 And he showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, flowing out from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2 down the middle of its broad way. And on this side of the river and on that side were trees of life producing twelve crops of fruit, yielding their fruits each month. And the leaves of the trees were for the curing of the nations.

The whole thing would take a total of 50,000 years, or a great Jubilee cycle modelled on the illustrative model given to the nation of Israel by God.

Lev 25:4-5 .. in the seventh year there should occur a sabbath of complete rest for the land, a sabbath to Yhwh. Your field you must not sow with seed, and your vineyard you must not prune. 5 ... There should occur a year of complete rest for the land.

Lev 2: 8-17 “‘And you must count for yourself seven sabbaths of years, seven times seven years, and the days of the seven sabbaths of years must amount to forty-nine years for you. 9 And you must cause the horn of loud tone to sound in the seventh month on the tenth of the month; on the day of atonement you people should cause the horn to sound in all your land. 10 And you must sanctify the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty in the land to all its inhabitants. It will become a Jubilee for you, and you must return each one to his possession and you should return each one to his family. 11 A Jubilee is what that fiftieth year will become for you. you must not sow seed nor reap the lands growth from spilled kernels nor gather the grapes of its unpruned vines. 12 For it is a Jubilee. It should become something holy to you. From the field you may eat what the land produces.

13 “‘In this year of the Jubilee you should return each one to his possession. 14 Now in case you should sell merchandise to your associate or be buying from your associate’s hand, do not you wrong one another. 15 By the number of the years after the Jubilee you should buy from your associate; by the number of the years of the crops he should sell to you. 16 In proportion to the great number of years he should increase its purchase value, and in proportion to the fewness of years he should reduce its purchase value, because the number of the crops is what he is selling to you. 17 And you must not wrong anyone his associate, and you must be in fear of your God, because I am Yhwh your God.

When this illustrative model Jubilee of  7 x 7 weeks plus 1 making 50 is scaled up by a 1,000 year for a day we get a 50,000 year Great Jubilee (2 peter 3:8).

Although we are now living some 6,000 years into this last seventh 7,000 year time period. Allocated for accomplishing this earthly assignment we do not see any thing like these things taking place. The cultivating of the entire earth up to Gods standards of perfection or Paradise with humans enjoying everlasting life in perfect conditions is very far from reality today!

Up to the end of the sixth day period everything was proclaimed 'OK', and going just as God had planned it. The spirit kind sons of God had done a great job of work, and were only too pleased to be associated with their humankind brothers.

Job 38:7 When the morning stars joyfully cried out together, And all the sons of God began shouting in applause?

Yahweh added his seal of approval, declaring it "very good" up to that point, the end of the sixth day period.

Genesis 1:31 After that God saw everything he had made and, look! it was very good. And there came to be evening and there came to be morning, a sixth day.



FINAL STAGE DERAILED

But it was not to remain that way! Once the seventh day period started some 6,000 years ago, family rebellion broke out almost immediately causing the plans for the seventh day period to be derailed, and diverted off course. Without missing a beat, Yahweh brought into effect a contingency plan he had on hand. This plan prepared for just such an eventuality, always a strong possibility with the risk factor of free will granted to all His Spirit and Human sons. 

With the built in factors of intelligence and the potential of wisdom, qualities of the family father, they had the required rationale tools to weigh matters and make free choices. The opportunity was theirs to 'choose'; to develop and reflect in themselves the 'image' of their family father or their own independent self 'image'. Inevitably some family members, spirit and human would choose badly through self-centred motivations; but on the other hand without free will, the positive image development could not take place. The free will element brought the greatest of rewards but also the greatest risk factor, which is why a recovery plan was prepared and ready ahead of time.

If events required it, a contingency plan could swing into operation. It would incorporate all rectifying mechanisms required in order to complete the family creation plan. Any diversionary corrections would need to be made within the same allocated seventh day time period so that the family was completed before the final 50,000 year great Jubilee ended.

In order to set our clock for measuring time references relating to this family plan and its developments now still in operation, it is essential that we examine the evidence on the length of this 'seventh day' division in which the plan operates.


ALLOCATED TIME FOR THE CONTINGENCY PLAN

After God created the first human couple he came to a pause in his material and physical creative works. He then went into a measured period of non creative activity, referred to as his creative Sabbath day of rest. Genesis 2:2-3 says "God rested on the seventh day from creating and set aside the seventh period". Set aside for the earths inhabitants to complete their assignments under the oversight of God's director of works; it was their turn to do some work while He paused during this set period in order for the assignments to be completed.

Speaking about the disbelieving, rebellious Israelites whom Moses led out of Egypt, God said, "They shall not enter my rest" (Psalm 95:9-11). Apparently by the time of this generation, almost 2,500 years after the rest period started, it was still continuing. Even later, some 4,000 years after the rest period started, around the year, the apostle Paul confirmed that this 'rest period' was still continuing in his day. In Hebrews 4:1-11 Paul said "Therefore while the promise of entering into God's rest is still open,..let us .. make every effort to enter that rest". So the "rest" was still continuing after 4,000 years. Further Bible evidence presented later establishes that it continues for a total of 7,000 years; (evidence can be found in Chapter 4).

Each creative day period was likewise 7,000 years long,  7 periods would be 49,000 years plus a one thousand year Jubilee completing a 50,000 year Great Jubilee cycle

So what caused the derailing of this family plan to bring about such a massive shift from the original plan? This is addressed in the next chapter.
