Scripture
Genesis 2:7
[7] Then the LORD God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ.
Did you enjoy Korean Thanksgiving holidays in the Lord last week-
All the work you have done in your love for the Lord will never vanish, but it will yield the best fruit at the best time.
This is the 47th Lecture on Genesis.
In the last lecture, I explained the reasons why God created man from the dust of the ground. I also explained what the body of a 'living being' is like.
Though the body of the living being belongs to the spirit, its basic constituent is still made of dust of the ground.
Therefore, unlike people with the resurrected body, the body of the living being cannot travel between the 1st heaven and the 2nd heaven.
The time flow stops in a space which is located between the 2nd and 1st heaven, and the body of the living being cannot pass through this space.
Just as you can you can travel a long distance in a short period of time in a plane at high altitudes where it would not be possible in an unprotected body, there are aircraft that the people of the Garden of Eden routinely use.
With those aircraft, they can travel not only in the Garden of Eden, but they can also visit the earth.
The first man, Adam, took this aircraft to freely visit the earth and ruled over everything on earth.
Adam's descendants, to whom Adam gave birth in the Garden of Eden, could quite easily travel to the earth until the Judgment of the Flood.
After the Judgment of Flood, their travel to the earth has been restricted.
Only on special occasions, following the correct order, they are permitted to visit the earth.
Even today, the people of the Garden of Eden visit the earth by these aircrafts.
These aircrafts have been observed in various places of the earth, and they are UFO.
Simply speaking, a UFO is an 'Unidentified Flying Object'.
UFOs have been observed countless times all over the world, but people don't know exactly what they are.
It is because they appear and disappear instantly.
A UFO looks like a luminous object, instead of an aircraft.
It is because a brightly shining shield, similar to an electron shield, is covering its body.
Therefore, even if people witness UFO, they cannot see its actual body, but they recognize it as a luminous object.
Another thing about UFO is that it flies at very high speeds which cannot be achieved by any flying objects of this world.
It also shows amazing flying maneuverability such a wingover, a nosedive, sudden acceleration, and an acute angle turn.
The reason why UFOs can do these is because they are the entities of the second heaven.
There are big differences between the 2nd and the 1st heavens in their characteristics and the time flows.
How are they different in a concept of a time flow-
First, let me give you an allegory.
Let 'say, we have an ant.
This ant is running at full throttle.
The ant may think it is running at a speed that is as fast as possible.
Now, if a man is watching beside the ant, will he think the ant is moving so fast-
No matter how fast the ant runs, its speed cannot be compared with the walking speed of a man.
It is because they belong to different dimensions.
Likewise, the speed of in the flow of time is different in the 1st and 2nd heavens because they belong to different dimensions.
Just as (the rate) a man walks is faster than an ant runs, the time flow in the 2nd heaven is faster than in the 1st heaven.
Even though the man knows how slow the ant is, however, the ant has no idea how slow it is.
The ant lives its own life adopting itself to the world it belongs to.
If the ant had the cognitive ability that a man has, it would recognize there are many beings which are moving faster than it can.
By the same token, unless a man of the 1st heaven experience the existence of the 2nd heaven, he cannot feel the difference of the time flow.
However, if a being of the 2nd heaven appears in the 1st heaven, he can certainly sense the difference.
The UFO is such an example.
UFOs from the 2nd heaven don't pick up higher speed just because they come to the (dimension of the) 1st heaven.
They just fly at a speed that is a normal speed for them.
However, the people of the 1st heaven feel they are super fast.
If it could it would be just like an ant sensing the speed of a man walking when it sees him.
Why is there a difference in the time flows between the 2nd and the 1st heaven-
It is due to the density of each space.
Here is an example.
Say, there are two pools.
One is full of water, but the other is full of mud.
In both pools, the water and mud reach up to your knees.
One man is in each pool, and they walk from one end to the other.
Now, who can walk faster-
Of course, it is the one in the pool of water.
It is not easy to walk in the pool of mud.
Each and every step is difficult.
A man of the first heaven, which is the fleshly world, is like being born in the pool of mud, and has experienced only the mud pool.
Since he's never been anywhere other than the mud pool, he believes that the mud pool is the whole world.
To move and live in the mud pool is very natural and common thing to this man.
However, what would a man from the water pool think if he saw the man in the mud pool-
To him, the man in the mud pool walks so slowly.
On the other hand, the man from the mud pool would think that the man in the pool of water is able to move really fast.
The difference of the time flows between the 1st and the 2nd heavens is very similar to this.
If the time flow of the 2nd heaven, which is a spiritual world, is like the flow of water, the time flow of the 1st heaven, which is the fleshly world, is like the oozing flow of mud.
Of course, the actual time flow is not exactly the same, but this analogy will help you understand it better.
Dear brothers and sisters.
Even though there is a difference in time flows between the 1st and 2nd heavens, it cannot be noticed in each space.
The way the people of the Garden of Eden and the people of the earth feel the time flow is the same.
Just as we sense a day going by, they also sense time flowing by.
Since there is no night in the Garden of Eden, of course, their concept of 'a day' is different from ours.
However, they do feel that the time actually does flow in the Garden of Eden.
In each space, people cannot actually feel the difference of the two time flows, even though there is a definite difference in the time flow between the 2 spaces.
Why is that-
Let's suppose there are 2 trains traveling in the same direction.
One is running at the speed of 100 kilometers per hour, and the other at 50 kilometers per hour.
There are passengers in each train, but they cannot see the outside the window; they are forced to do what they normally do.
They cannot sense how fast their trains are running.
Those who are in the train which is running at 100 kilometers per hour cannot sense they are running faster than the others in the train which is running at 50 kilometers per hour.
Even though two trains are running at different speed, those inside the trains do not sense it at all.
However, what if you open the window and let them see the other train-
Then, they will surely sense the difference of the speed they are traveling.
Likewise, when the spiritual space and the fleshly space, where the time flows are different, can see each other, then we can also sense the different time flows.
Under the will of God, the fleshly world may be covered by the spiritual space from time to time.
Such a case is recorded in the 18th Chapter of 1 Kings.
1 Kings 1:45-46 says, "In a little while the sky grew black with clouds and wind, and there was a heavy shower. And Ahab rode and went to Jezreel. Then the hand of the LORD was on Elijah, and he girded up his loins and outran Ahab to Jezreel."
It says that Elijah the Prophet ran faster than the chariot of Ahab the King.
It also says that the Prophet Elijah could do this because "the hand of the LORD was on Elijah."
What did God do in this instance-
God caused Elijah to be covered by the spiritual space where the time flow is much faster.
Then, Elijah could outrun the chariot even though he ran at his normal speed.
You may find a 'moving walkway' in a shopping mall or an airport.
If two men are walking at the same speed, who will look faster when one is walking on regular walkway, and the other on the moving walkway-
Even if their speed and stride are the same, the one on the moving walkway looks faster.
Sometimes there are situations under the will of God in which the time flow of fleshly/physical world is covered by that of the spiritual space.
Then, things may take place in this space in the physical world that fleshly knowledge or theory cannot explain.
The signs and wonders recorded in the bible are such events that took place in the spiritual time flow as the spiritual space opened.
As you can see, when the spiritual space covers something and it rides on the spiritual time flow, something amazing can take place in a blink of an eye.
For instance, as Jesus commanded, sick people a long way away from Him were healed.
Healing the servant of a centurion and a demon-possessed daughter of a Syrophoenician woman were such cases.
The centurion and the Syrophoenician lady begged Jesus by faith for the healing of their sick ones.
Matthew 8:13 says, "And Jesus said to the centurion, "Go; it shall be done for you as you have believed." And the servant was healed that very moment."
Matthew 15:28 also says, "Then Jesus said to her, "O woman, your faith is great; it shall be done for you as you wish." And her daughter was healed at once."
The word of Jesus went forward as light in the spiritual time flow, came upon those who were sick and brought down the works of healing upon them.
Even though Jesus and the sick were in the fleshly space, the light of God's power went forth in the spiritual space riding on the spiritual time flow and brought down the work of healing.
Say, you call your brother or sister in a far distance, and say, "Look up at the sky now."
Even though they are far from you, they will look up at the sky following your word.
Your body doesn't go there where they are, but you just say a word from here.
Then, the word passes through the telephone line, it is heard, and it takes effect on them.
To talk to them face to face, you should go to them and it takes a long time, but if you use a telephone, it is possible in an instant.
The word you speak is converted into electronic signal, and is transmitted at the speed of light.
And it is instantly conveyed to the other who is far from you.
When it is possible even in this fleshly space, what about in the spiritual space-
Traveling from the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th heavens to this 1st heaven can take place instantly.
Dear brothers and sisters.
In the 1st heaven where we live, there are doors to the spiritual world.
Doors to the 2nd heaven where there is the Garden of Eden, doors to the 3rd heaven where there is Heavenly Kingdom, and doors to the 4th heaven which is the original heaven;
There is not just only one door to the 2nd heaven, for example. There are many doors in many places of the world.
The UFOs which come down to the earth go back to the Garden of Eden through these doors.
Even if they pass these doors from the 1st heaven, it is not that they directly enter into the 2nd heaven.
To go back to the 2nd heaven, they have to bypass the space where the time flow stops.
Since the time flow stops in this space, the time it takes to go through this space is instantaneous.
As the angels of the 3rd heaven visit the earth, they have to bypass this space where the time flow stops.
And thus, the angel in the Heavenly Kingdom can instantly come down to this earth and go back.
The records about the doors to the spiritual world are found in many parts of the Bible.
Acts 7:56 says, ". . .and he said, "Behold, I see the heavens opened up and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.""
At this moment, Deacon Stephen had this spiritual eyes opened.
Through the opened spiritual door, he could see the Lord who was standing at the right hand of God.
Apostle John also saw "a door standing open in heaven" as written in Revelation 4:1; he also heard the sound of trumpet there.
Psalm 78:23-24 also says, "Yet He commanded the clouds above And opened the doors of heaven; He rained down manna upon them to eat And gave them food from heaven."
Manna fell down from the 2nd heaven.
And when this Manna fell down, 'the doors of heaven' opened.
You also have known and experienced that there are doors to the spiritual world.
Many of you witnessed the clouds which appeared and disappeared in the sky and the moving stars.
The moving stars are actually in the 2nd heaven, but you saw them as the doors to heaven opened.
In addition to the doors to the spiritual world, there are also passageways to the spiritual world.
They are the black holes.
Currently many scientists are studying black holes.
However, God told us about the identity of these black holes.
Black holes are like passageways between the 1st and the 2nd heavens.
As you study the black holes, you can observe that the black holes swallow whatever comes close to them; everything from satellites to stars.
When even a huge star which is a lot bigger than the sun is once in the area of influence of a black hole, it is sucked into the black hole at speed which is faster than the speed of light.
The scientists of the world think that the stars which are sucked into the black holes are completely broken down.
However the fact is they don't break down,. They are rather moved to the 2nd heaven through a passageway called a black hole.
Even if a thing passes through a black hole, its shape or look doesn't change.
It will be located in the 2nd heaven with the same shape it has in the 1st heaven.
If you understand the spiritual world and acknowledge it like this, even the identity of black holes can be easily revealed.
Now, where does such a massive power for a black hole to suck up things come from-
The source of black holes' sucking power is the difference in time flows between the 1st and the 2nd heaven.
Here is another allegory to help you understand.
Say, there is a car running at high speed.
Inside the car is filled with thick smoke.
If you roll down the window a little bit, at this moment you can see the smoke going out of the open window.
Even though you don't force or fan the smoke out, the smoke automatically goes out through the open window.
It is due to the difference between the air flow inside the car and the outside the car.
Let me take another example.
A flying airplane flies at very high speed.
Now, what will happen if the emergency exit of the airplane opens-
You've seen in scenes from a movie that anything near the exit is sucked out of the airplane through the exit.
Even a man cannot overcome the airflow and is also sucked out of the plane.
It is due to the difference of the airflow between the inside and the outside the plane.
Now, if the emergency exit opens when the plane is moving slowly on the runway, nothing will be sucked out of the plane.
As the airplane speeds up, the airflow that goes out of the exit gets stronger and stronger.
Likewise, due to the difference of the time flows between the 1st and the 2nd heaven, black holes which act like a passageway between two spaces have sucking power.
Moreover, black holes look like the bell of a trumpet's tube.
At the mouth, the door to the 1st heaven is wide, but as it moves along toward the other end to the 2nd heaven, it becomes narrower.
Due to this shape, its sucking power becomes stronger and stronger.
When there is whirl in the sea or a river, it also has a shape of a trumpet's bell or funnel.
Its brim is wide, and it becomes narrower as it is close to its center.
The water current becomes also faster as it is close the center of the whirl.
It is the same with the black holes.
God the Father wants people to recognize the existence of the spiritual world even as they see black holes.
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ.
The first man that God created was originally a living being. While I was explaining what the body of the living being was like, I ended up explaining about UFO's and black holes.
I told you that people cannot travel from the Garden of Eden to the earth with the body of the living being, but they can by UFO.
I also told you that they can come to the earth instantly as they pass the space where the time flow stops through an open gate in the air.
In the air, there are not only gates to the spiritual world, but also passages to the spiritual world.
And they are so called 'black holes.'
I just briefly reviewed what I have told you so far so that you can understand why I mentioned about UFO and black holes in the middle of explaining the living being.
The people of the world do not know about what I told you tonight.
Many scientists have spent much time studying UFO and black holes, but they haven't discovered their identity and the reason for their existence.
As you acknowledge the spiritual world and study them based on the word of God, however, you can easily understand them, can't you-
Just as you can confirm the existence of the second heaven through UFO, you should believe that the third and fourth heavens also do exist.
You have so many evidences that can help you believe the spiritual world.
And so, you should also be able to believe there are Heaven and Hell.
2 Corinthians 4:18 says, "while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal."
The fleshly world which is seen is temporal, but the spiritual world which is not seen is eternal.
May you who listen to this message always keep the eternal place in your heart and live for the eternal things, in the name of the Lord, Jesus Christ, I pray!
[Amen] |
