“And I went unto the angel, saying unto him that he should give me the little book. And he saith unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but in thy mouth it shall be sweet as honey"
The text presented here is entirely based on scriptures, it is an interpretation of the most controversial subjects.
The Bible does not state the age of the Earth; however, scholars have established the Earth's age at six thousand years. This error arose for two reasons: first, because God's time differs from human time on Earth; and second, because the chronology records time starting from the formation of Adam in Eden (Genesis 2:7). The man created on Earth on the sixth day of creation (Genesis 1:27)—whose existence is not recounted in the biblical chronology—appeared on Earth over 100 thousand years ago (according to archaeological data).
The civilization of Eden endured for 40 thousand years, from Adam until the Flood (1,656 years in God's time—which must be multiplied by 24, just as a day is), and its prosperity is described in Revelation 18; however, a war broke out between Archangel Michael and the dragon. The dragon, having been defeated, relinquished his throne and great power to a beast (Revelation 13:4) and swept away a third of the stars of Heaven (Revelation 12:4). Initially, the war in Heaven was not meant to affect the peoples of Eden, but the Edenic civilization was ultimately destroyed at Armageddon—in an attempt to contain the power the dragon had bestowed upon the beast—an event that nearly extinguished the human race. God regretted having formed man in Eden (Genesis 6:13), sent the Flood, and transferred creation to Earth through Noah.
The first millennium represents the time the dragon spent in prison (Revelation 20:3), as well as the period during which the faithful who did not worship the beast reigned with Christ (Revelation 20:4). This first millennium corresponds to the Old Testament (from the Flood to Jesus Christ); it is the link connecting Eden and Earth, the beginning and the end, and the Lamb and Jesus Christ. A thousand years is also the duration for which the faithful will reign with Christ (the second millennium; Revelation 20:6).
Chapter I
The origin of Earth and Eden.
The origin of Earth and Eden.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and empty, but the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. God chose Earth and Eden because they are rocky planets and possessed the best conditions for developing creation.
● Genesis 1:1 » In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
● Genesis 1:2 » And the earth was waste and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep: and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Hebrews 11:3 says that “by faith the worlds were created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.” This makes it clear that the biblical Eden was not on Earth; it is another planet, because the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven were not revealed to mankind (Matthew 13:11). The mysteries are being revealed in this end time (Luke 12:2). Life on Venus can be verified by the existence of phosphine gas (PH₃) detected in the planet's atmosphere, resulting from biological processes.
● Hebrews 11:3 » By faith we understand that the worlds have been framed by the word of God, so that what is seen hath not been made out of things which appear.
● Luke 12:2 » But there is nothing covered up, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
● Luke 8:17 » For nothing is hid, that shall not be made manifest; nor `anything' secret, that shall not be known and come to light.
● Matthew 13:11 » And he answered and said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
Venus, the ancient Eden beside Earth, as in the flood.
The planets are the same size; they are twins.

The six days of creation
Light was God's first act of provision during the six days of creation; it is understood that the Sun emerged as a fifth-magnitude star. If the earth was formless and empty, then day and night already existed. The celestial bodies were created on the fourth day.
Genesis 1:6 recounts that God created a firmament in the midst of the waters, separating the waters and with them the physical means of support, the planet Earth and the planet Eden. God separated the waters that were under the firmament from those that were above the firmament, and God called the firmament Heaven (Genesis 1:8). The firmament is where the sun keeps the two planets in their orbits through gravitational force.
Then God gathered the waters under the sky into one place and made dry land appear (Genesis 1:9). It is understood that the gravitational force created was great enough to keep the waters under pressure and break through the crust, allowing the landforms to rise. If this were not the case, the waters would have escaped into space.
If God separated the waters, He could also bring them together again. In the flood, God transferred the waters of Eden to the Earth, and Eden was transformed into a lake of fire that burns with sulfur because God destroyed it (Genesis 6:13).
On the fourth day God created the lights in the firmament of the heavens. The text in Genesis 1:14 speaks in the plural; God created two moons, the moon of the Earth and the moon of Eden. The moons allowed for the separation of day and night, for signs, seasons, and for days and years. With the moons, God separated the orbits of the planets around the Sun, no longer as satellites of one another.
Venus's moon was the planet Mercury, with 40% of Venus's diameter. Venus's moon was mentioned in the Book of Job (Job 31:26). Job lived in Eden when the war in heaven occurred at least 30,000 years ago. Currently, Venus and Mercury are the only two planets in the solar system that do not have a moon, because Mercury was Venus's moon.
For a better understanding, you can see in the illustration below that the tilt of the Earth's axis is 23.5º, but it wasn't always like that. Joshua 10:13 says that the sun stood still and the moon stopped, and Isaiah 38:8 says that the sun went back ten degrees. This was only possible with the change in the tilt of the Earth's axis. This event will happen again; Revelation 6:14 speaks of the instability of the Earth's axis caused by the approach of the planet Venus.

● Genesis 1:3 » And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
● Genesis 1:5 » And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.
Genesis 1:6 recounts that God created a firmament in the midst of the waters, separating the waters and with them the physical means of support, the planet Earth and the planet Eden. God separated the waters that were under the firmament from those that were above the firmament, and God called the firmament Heaven (Genesis 1:8). The firmament is where the sun keeps the two planets in their orbits through gravitational force.
● Genesis 1:6 » And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
● Genesis 1:7 » And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
● Genesis 1:8 » And God called the firmament Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.
Then God gathered the waters under the sky into one place and made dry land appear (Genesis 1:9).

● Genesis 6:13 » And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

● Joshua 10:13 » And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, Until the nation had avenged themselves of their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jashar? And the sun stayed in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.
● Isaiah 38:8 » behold, I will cause the shadow on the steps, which is gone down on the dial of Ahaz with the sun, to return backward ten steps. So the sun returned ten steps on the dial whereon it was gone down.
● Revelation 6:14 » And the heaven was removed as a scroll when it is rolled up; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
Precession of the Earth's axis
Venus and Earth are twin planets, approximately the same size and with the same gravitational force, therefore their orbits should be close to each other. Today Venus is distant from Earth because it has lost its moon and has a retrograde rotation. Venus takes eight months to complete a day and night cycle.
Venus will resume its normal rotation and approach Earth during the great tribulation, when the Sun will turn to darkness and the moon to blood, and as soon as the four angels mentioned in Revelation 9:14 are released, on the great and terrible day of the Lord, Venus will collide with Earth.
On the fifth day, after creating the necessary conditions, it was possible to develop creation. God created animal life on Earth. It is understood that the creation of animal life, at first, was carried out through crossbreeding between different species (Cambrian period).
In Eden, God did not create the species; God formed them from matrices of species created on Earth. Genesis 2:19 says: "The Lord God formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky."
Man and woman were God's last creations on Earth. Genesis 1:27 recounts that on the sixth day God created man in His own image and likeness, creating him male and female.
It is understood that God's creation on Earth was completed more than 100,000 years ago, when the human species emerged in Africa (according to archaeological data). God created man to have dominion over all the animals of the Earth, but man only acquired reason and speech when God gave him a spirit in Eden.
God made the heavens and the earth, with all their host, in six days and rested on the seventh day (Genesis 2:3). God rested in his Son (John 5:17). The seven-day week originated among the Chaldeans, but the instruction God gave to Abraham did not include the Sabbath; it was adopted by Moses for the "lost sheep of the house of Israel," and Jesus Christ summarized it in a single commandment, which we can understand through John 15:12.
The formation of species in Eden
On Earth, God created plant diversity, animal species, and finally, man and woman (Genesis 1:27). However, Genesis 2:5 states that in Eden there were no plants, no humans, and no animals.
The Garden of Eden today is located in a high region north of Venus. Assyria and the rivers Pishon , Gihon , Tigris, and Euphrates mentioned in Genesis 2:10 are references to Eden, not Earth. The culture of Eden came with Noah and his sons, and it is from there that the geographical names existing in Iraq originated, and where men are still searching for the Garden of Eden today.
In Eden, God formed the species in a planned way, and He did so from His creation on Earth (from the dust of the earth). It is understood that God used genetic engineering to form them in Eden (the basis of life is the same for all species and is encoded in DNA). The formation of species in Eden occurred 67,000 years ago (See Biblical Chronology), when God formed man, woman, animals, and a garden.
God formed man in Eden from the dust of the ground, breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul (Genesis 2:7), in the likeness of the man created on Earth on the sixth day of creation (Genesis 1:27). Man did not possess reasoning or speech, because God had not yet given man a spirit.
Animals are also living souls; man is more complex than animals. Human beings possess reasoning and speech, and what guarantees this is the spirit that God gave them.
When Genesis 2:9 says that God made every kind of tree grow out of the ground, it's not talking about plant species, it's talking about the spirit. God compared the spirit to a tree. The tree (the spirit) communicates with the dust of the earth (man) through its roots (the soul). When it says that trees are good for food, it's understood that it's referring to gifts.
God gave man his spirit when He allowed him to eat from the trees of the garden; the trees of the garden were angels (Genesis 2:16). Man came to have an angel as a spirit that gave him reason and speech.
Trees as a plant species appeared when God planted a garden and placed man to cultivate and guard it. Man was physically large enough for this task; he was a Nephilim (giant).
Humans could not eat the fruit of the tree of the "knowledge of good and evil" (Genesis 2:17) because that spirit reproduced itself in offspring, and everyone was born with that spirit. When a person died, the spirit could not enter a new existence; that was "death." It is not possible to have two spirits in the same body.
God tested the reasoning and speech of the man He formed, and now, with the angel (spirit) He gave him, we can see this when God called the man to name the animals (Genesis 2:19). The names of the animals were not physically recorded, but virtually among the angels.
Angels communicated with each other virtually online, in the same way we do today when connected to the internet. Angels are eternal and could reign within a human being as long as they lived, but when a human being died, the angel needed to enter a new existence, as stated in Genesis 6:3, and also fulfilled with Moses in ancient times.
Below is an illustration based on Genesis 6:3.
Venus will resume its normal rotation and approach Earth during the great tribulation, when the Sun will turn to darkness and the moon to blood, and as soon as the four angels mentioned in Revelation 9:14 are released, on the great and terrible day of the Lord, Venus will collide with Earth.
● Revelation 6:12 » And I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the whole moon became as blood;
● Joel 2:31 » The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of Jehovah cometh.
● Revelation 9:14 » one saying to the sixth angel that had one trumpet, Loose the four angels that are bound at the great river Euphrates.
● Revelation 9:14 » one saying to the sixth angel that had one trumpet, Loose the four angels that are bound at the great river Euphrates.
On the fifth day, after creating the necessary conditions, it was possible to develop creation. God created animal life on Earth. It is understood that the creation of animal life, at first, was carried out through crossbreeding between different species (Cambrian period).
● Genesis 1:20 » And God said, Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
● Genesis 1:24 » And God said, Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind, cattle, and creeping things, and beasts of the earth after their kind: and it was so.
In Eden, God did not create the species; God formed them from matrices of species created on Earth. Genesis 2:19 says: "The Lord God formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky."
Man and woman were God's last creations on Earth. Genesis 1:27 recounts that on the sixth day God created man in His own image and likeness, creating him male and female.
● Genesis 1:26 » And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
● Genesis 1:27 » And God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
● Genesis 1:28 » And God blessed them: and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
It is understood that God's creation on Earth was completed more than 100,000 years ago, when the human species emerged in Africa (according to archaeological data). God created man to have dominion over all the animals of the Earth, but man only acquired reason and speech when God gave him a spirit in Eden.

● John 5:17 » But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh even until now, and I work.
● John 15:12 » This is my commandment, that ye love one another, even as I have loved you.
The formation of species in Eden
On Earth, God created plant diversity, animal species, and finally, man and woman (Genesis 1:27). However, Genesis 2:5 states that in Eden there were no plants, no humans, and no animals.
● Genesis 2:5 » And no plant of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up; for Jehovah God had not caused it to rain upon the earth: and there was not a man to till the ground;
● Genesis 2:6 » but there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
The Garden of Eden today is located in a high region north of Venus. Assyria and the rivers Pishon , Gihon , Tigris, and Euphrates mentioned in Genesis 2:10 are references to Eden, not Earth. The culture of Eden came with Noah and his sons, and it is from there that the geographical names existing in Iraq originated, and where men are still searching for the Garden of Eden today.
● Genesis 2:10 » And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became four heads.
● Genesis 2:11 » The name of the first is Pishon: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
● Genesis 2:12 » and the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.
● Genesis 2:13 » And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Cush.
● Genesis 2:14 » And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth in front of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.
In Eden, God formed the species in a planned way, and He did so from His creation on Earth (from the dust of the earth). It is understood that God used genetic engineering to form them in Eden (the basis of life is the same for all species and is encoded in DNA). The formation of species in Eden occurred 67,000 years ago (See Biblical Chronology), when God formed man, woman, animals, and a garden.

● Genesis 2:9 » And out of the ground made Jehovah God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
God gave man his spirit when He allowed him to eat from the trees of the garden; the trees of the garden were angels (Genesis 2:16). Man came to have an angel as a spirit that gave him reason and speech.
● Genesis 2:16 » And Jehovah God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
Trees as a plant species appeared when God planted a garden and placed man to cultivate and guard it. Man was physically large enough for this task; he was a Nephilim (giant).
● Genesis 2:8 » And Jehovah God planted a garden eastward, in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
● Genesis 2:15 » And Jehovah God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
Humans could not eat the fruit of the tree of the "knowledge of good and evil" (Genesis 2:17) because that spirit reproduced itself in offspring, and everyone was born with that spirit. When a person died, the spirit could not enter a new existence; that was "death." It is not possible to have two spirits in the same body.
● Genesis 2:17 » but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
God tested the reasoning and speech of the man He formed, and now, with the angel (spirit) He gave him, we can see this when God called the man to name the animals (Genesis 2:19). The names of the animals were not physically recorded, but virtually among the angels.
● Genesis 2:19 » And out of the ground Jehovah God formed every beast of the field, and every bird of the heavens; and brought them unto the man to see what he would call them: and whatsoever the man called every living creature, that was the name thereof.

● Jeremiah 18:6 » O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith Jehovah. Behold, as the clay in the potter's hand, so are ye in my hand, O house of Israel.
Below is an illustration based on Genesis 6:3.
The "knowledge of good and evil"
Next, the biblical text recounts the formation of woman in Eden from one of man's ribs. The formation of woman can be understood as "from the dust of the earth ," just as man was, that is, from a woman created on Earth, and it was with the purpose of preserving the mutation in the man's body inserted in the Y chromosome and at the same time perpetuating genetic changes. These changes may have been the elimination of breasts in men, establishing the male-female sexual bond. (See: The genetic origin of humankind).
The woman was deceived by the serpent and ate the forbidden fruit and gave some to the man, and he also ate it (Genesis 3:6). After they ate the fruit, their eyes were opened and they saw that they were naked (Genesis 3:7).
God imposed a punishment on them for their disobedience (Genesis 3:17). The “knowledge of good and evil” was the spirit of God and was not for men.
Genesis 3:22 mentions that man had become like God, knowing good and evil, and could reach out and take also from the tree of life and live eternally. God expelled man from the garden (but not from Eden) and placed cherubim and a flaming sword to guard the way to the tree of life.
The serpent did not disobey God, but was cunning; the woman could eat the fruit of the tree of the "knowledge of good and evil," but the man could not. There was a change in the Y chromosome, and man began to disseminate the "knowledge of good and evil" through procreation. When women had sons or daughters, they were already born with the "fruit," and they no longer needed angels.
Adam became known by a name, had an identity, could communicate through reasoning and speech, and possessed free will. Free will meant that man began to make his own decisions and was no longer connected to the angels; this is when God needed to search for Adam in the garden. Free will is the origin of all human sin, as we can see when God speaks to Cain in Genesis 4:7.
The "knowledge of good and evil" gave a better understanding and a longer life. Adam lived 930 years in chronological time. Here we have a conflict: if we correct Adam's age, multiplying by 24, it arrives at 22,320 years. That's a lot by our standards, but if Adam ate from the fruit of the tree of life, he would live eternally. What allowed man to have a long life was cellular renewal.
● Genesis 2:18 » And Jehovah God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help meet for him.
● Genesis 2:21 » And Jehovah God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof:
● Genesis 2:22 » and the rib, which Jehovah God had taken from the man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
The woman was deceived by the serpent and ate the forbidden fruit and gave some to the man, and he also ate it (Genesis 3:6). After they ate the fruit, their eyes were opened and they saw that they were naked (Genesis 3:7).
● Genesis 3:2 » And the woman said unto the serpent, Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat:
● Genesis 3:3 » but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
● Genesis 3:4 » And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
● Genesis 3:5 » for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as God, knowing good and evil.
● Genesis 3:6 » And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat; and she gave also unto her husband with her, and he did eat.
● Genesis 3:7 » And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig-leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
God imposed a punishment on them for their disobedience (Genesis 3:17). The “knowledge of good and evil” was the spirit of God and was not for men.
● Genesis 3:17 » And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in toil shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
● Genesis 3:23 » therefore Jehovah God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
Genesis 3:22 mentions that man had become like God, knowing good and evil, and could reach out and take also from the tree of life and live eternally. God expelled man from the garden (but not from Eden) and placed cherubim and a flaming sword to guard the way to the tree of life.
● Genesis 3:22 » And Jehovah God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil; and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever-
● Genesis 3:24 » So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden the Cherubim, and the flame of a sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
The serpent did not disobey God, but was cunning; the woman could eat the fruit of the tree of the "knowledge of good and evil," but the man could not. There was a change in the Y chromosome, and man began to disseminate the "knowledge of good and evil" through procreation. When women had sons or daughters, they were already born with the "fruit," and they no longer needed angels.
Adam became known by a name, had an identity, could communicate through reasoning and speech, and possessed free will. Free will meant that man began to make his own decisions and was no longer connected to the angels; this is when God needed to search for Adam in the garden. Free will is the origin of all human sin, as we can see when God speaks to Cain in Genesis 4:7.
● Genesis 4:7 » And Cain told Abel his brother. And it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
The "knowledge of good and evil" gave a better understanding and a longer life. Adam lived 930 years in chronological time. Here we have a conflict: if we correct Adam's age, multiplying by 24, it arrives at 22,320 years. That's a lot by our standards, but if Adam ate from the fruit of the tree of life, he would live eternally. What allowed man to have a long life was cellular renewal.
The aggravating factor is that, when a man descended into the grave, his spirit found no living souls for a new existence; it was death. The same did not happen with Cain and his descendants among the men created on Earth, who were living souls, but were destroyed in the flood.
Paul wrote in Romans 5:14 that death reigned from Adam to Moses. This means that when Moses was born in Egypt, death no longer reigned because children were reborn as living souls, as they were originally created, and men could be revived from death, and angels could once again dwell in men. Paul was an apostle of Jesus Christ connected to the Gentiles.
Life expectancy today is a small fraction of what it was for humans in Eden. What allowed humans to live long lives was cellular renewal. The capacity for cellular renewal has decreased (cellular senescence), and humans have begun to age. It can be understood that there is a loss in the quality of life; in other words, humanity is not evolving, it is regressing, humanity is "turning to dust."
The resurrection of the dead among the Gentiles is like the replanting of a tree (spirit) in the dust of the earth (living souls), and no longer with the growth of a tree from a seed, and this may have caused congenital deformities among humans. The knowledge of good and evil has deep roots and allows for a better understanding for man; this means that this spirit envelops the whole body and even causes pain in those who have fractures. Jesus Christ said to the sick, "Your sins are forgiven."
Human beings, through genetic inheritance, may possess few or many resources (physical stature, extensive memory, fast processing power, etc.), but they don't function solely through matter (hardware); they need spirit, soul, and gifts. The spirit is like an operating system, the soul is an interface that allows the spirit to communicate with the body, and gifts are like applications, and viruses exist to cause harm to humans. No two human beings are alike; each human being has a different configuration. The knowledge of good and evil is like a Macintosh, having drivers integrated with the operating system, while angels are like Windows, needing drivers and being uninstallable.
Genesis 3:19 explains the sending of man to Earth, from where he was taken. This was fulfilled with Noah.
It is understood, through Genesis 3:22, that the man formed in Eden was the work that the Son of God did together with his Father; this is written in John 1:2 and 1:3.
Cain killed Abel and was expelled from Eden.
Cain and Abel's offerings were personally delivered to God, but God rejected Cain's offering (Genesis 4:5). Cain killed Abel, and as punishment, God banished him to the land of Nod. Cain feared the people of the land of Nod, so God put a mark on him, making him look like the natives so that no one would kill him. Cain married a native woman, the daughter of a man from the land (Genesis 4:17). The land of Nod was the planet Earth and was east of Eden; today, Venus is east of Earth.
Genesis 4:20 mentions the deeds of Cain's descendants on Earth before the flood. Jabal was the first to dwell in tents and own livestock, Jubal (Genesis 4:21) was the first to play the harp and flute, and Tubal -Cain (Genesis 4:22) was the maker of all kinds of cutting tools made of copper and iron. Objects used by Cain's descendants (flutes, sculptures, and woven threads) have been found in Europe through archaeological excavations, dating back 30,000 to 35,000 years using radiocarbon dating. Similarly, cave paintings have been found ( Chauvett Cave, among others).
On Earth, the descendants of Cain coexisted with Neanderthals and native humans. According to archaeology, Neanderthals appeared on Earth long before humans. There is a theory that speaks of interbreeding between humans and Neanderthals based on the Lapedo Child fossil in Portugal, but both humans and Neanderthals disappeared in the flood. Post-flood humans inherited Noah's DNA, and Noah was from Eden.
Native Americans and Neanderthals were typical cavemen; they had some form of communication, but possessed little intelligence. They lacked the spirit or angel that could grant them reason and speech. The descendants of Cain, however, possessed the "knowledge of good and evil," which gave them reason and speech, and they were the ones who initiated human migrations from Africa to Australia, Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Before the flood, the continents allowed for human migration.
The Nephilim / Giants on Earth
The Nephilim were the sentinels who watched over God's creation on Earth. The Nephilim were angels, and to be sentinels, they needed to inhabit living souls. The living souls were the men created on the sixth day of creation (Genesis 1:27), unlike the sons of God, the descendants of Cain, who were born with the "knowledge of good and evil" and could not inhabit angels.
The sons of God were descendants of Cain and took for themselves daughters of men on Earth, of all whom they chose, who bore them children. This happened because they were of the same species, they were human beings. The descendants of Cain were part of the generation of Adam, who spread the "knowledge of good and evil".
Although the Nephilim were genetically able to have children with the daughters of men, they generated living souls, just like the beings that provided their physical support, without a spirit. Upon death, the Nephilim angel entered a new existence.
The Nephilim are referred to in some versions of the Bible as "giants." Giants are mentioned in the Book of Enoch (an apocryphal book). Enoch (father of Methuselah) was from Eden, and he mentions two hundred angels, sons of heaven, who fathered giants with the daughters of men. These angels were the celestial elite and could not defile themselves with women. These angels were punished, and as punishment they were imprisoned in the depths of the Earth, and will remain there until the end. The giants born from relationships with the daughters of men were living souls; they did not have a spirit, nor did they possess reasoning or speech. The giants prevailed through brute force.
In the flood, the Nephilim ceased to exist because the living souls were completely destroyed, and they appear after death ceased in antiquity, in the time of Moses, as mentioned in Romans 5:14. This subject continues in the topic: The Nephilim in antiquity.
Human life continues in Eden.
After Cain killed Abel and was deported to Earth, Eve gave birth to Seth. Seth's wife was a living soul, native to Earth, just as Cain's wife was (Genesis 4:17). Inbreeding does not produce healthy offspring, therefore Seth could not have married one of his sisters as many believe. The mitochondrial DNA of a woman has exclusively maternal inheritance and does not influence the Y chromosome of a man's DNA, which is transmitted only from father to son.
The Bible only records the chronology of the firstborn male; once Cain was deported to the planet Earth (the land of Nod ), the chronology continued in parallel in Eden with Seth. The biblical chronology was intended to record the lifespan of God's children, who possessed the "knowledge of good and evil." Living souls do not appear in the biblical chronology.
From Adam to the flood, approximately 40,000 years passed, which corresponds to 1656 years in chronological time; this should be multiplied by 24, like a day. The people of Eden reached a high level of development, as can be understood through the texts found in Revelation chapter 18.
The quotations from the book of Job also make mention of the culture of the people of Eden: loom shuttles (Job 7:6); soap (Job 9:30); cheese (Job 10:10); grapes, olive trees (Job 15:33); harp, flute, tambourine (Job 21:12); copper, iron (Job 28:2); gold, beryl, sapphire (Job 28:16); jewels (Job 28:17); crystal, pearl (Job 28:18) and topaz (Job 28:19).
Job's lifespan is not mentioned, but his days were many (Job 38:21). God appeared to Job personally (Job 42:5).
Job's suffering begins when God, knowing Satan's wickedness, provokes him by exalting Job. Job's faithfulness to God was the trigger for the war in heaven and Satan's downfall (Revelation 12:10).
The Book of Job, from chapter 2 to 37, recounts Job's dialogue with his friends.
Job lived in Eden when the war in Heaven took place, about thirty thousand years ago. After God blessed Job, he lived another 140 years in chronological time and died full of days.
Life in Eden was marked by the rivalry between Satan and the Lamb. In John 8:44 it is understood that the rivalry began between Cain and Abel.
Job's faithfulness to God was the trigger for the war in heaven and the fall of Satan (Revelation 12:10). The dragon dragged after him a third of the " stars of heaven " and threw them to the earth. The third of the " stars of heaven " that appear in Revelation 12:4 are counted and belong to God. The " stars of heaven " were transformed into the lost sheep of the house of Israel that the Son of God came to seek (Matthew 18:11).
There was a war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought, but the dragon and his angels were not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven (Revelation 12:7). The dragon was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him (Revelation 12:9).
The civilization of Eden lasted for 40,000 years, from Adam until the flood, corresponding to 1656 years in chronological time. In principle, the war in Heaven should not have affected the people of Eden, but the civilization of Eden ended up being destroyed at Armageddon (Revelation 16:16) in an attempt to contain the power that the dragon gave to the beast and almost extinguished the human race. God regretted having formed man in Eden (Genesis 6:13), sent the flood, and transferred creation to Earth with Noah.
It can be understood from chapter 18 of the book of Revelation that the great Babylon was where the political and economic power of Eden resided; it was there that goods were produced and traded. This means that Babylon's influence allowed the beast to emerge. Its power dominated the kings of the earth.
The two beasts
The two beasts are mentioned in seven chapters of the Book of Revelation (from chapter 13 to 19), however, six chapters recount events that took place in Eden before the flood when the seven bowls of God's wrath were poured out on those who worshiped the beast and its image and received the mark on their foreheads or hands. Chapter 17 of the Book of Revelation recounts the return of the beast.
Revelation 13:2 recounts that the dragon gave his authority, his throne, and great power to the beast that rose from the sea. After this beast was wounded, another beast rose from the earth (Revelation 13:11). The beast that rose from the earth persecuted those who were faithful to the Lamb and established a mark by which no one could buy or sell unless they worshiped the beast (that rose from the sea) or received the mark or the number of its name on their hand or on their forehead (Revelation 13:16). The men in Eden yielded to the beast's pressure and received the mark.
The battle continues in Eden, now against the beast and against those who worshiped the beast or received its mark on their foreheads or hands (Revelation 14:9). At this moment, the Lamb appears in battle formation with his 144,000 servants (Revelation 14:1). The Book of Life appeared to record those who were faithful to the Lamb (Revelation 13:8).
Chapter 16 of Revelation mentions that the bowls of God's wrath were poured out on those who worshiped the beast and its image and received its mark on their foreheads or hands (Revelation 16:1), and there was great mortality among men in Eden in a place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon (Revelation 16:16).
Revelation 19:20 mentions that the beast that rose from the earth and the false prophet were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur in Eden.
The beast that rose from the sea managed to escape the waters of the flood and remained hidden in the depths of the earth (Revelation 17:8). Chapter 17 of the book of Revelation recounts the return of the beast and how what happened in the past will happen again; human civilization will be destroyed once more.
Moses appears with the Lamb in Revelation 15:3, and with them those who were slain and did not worship the beast or its image. The faithful were revived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years (Revelation 20:4 speaks in the past tense). Moses and the Lamb represented two-thirds of the “ stars of heaven ,” the other third the dragon dragged after itself.
Revelation 20:2 recounts that an angel descended to Earth and seized the dragon, binding him for a thousand years. The angel threw him into the abyss, and shut and sealed it over him. In the flood, the fountains of the great deep burst forth (Genesis 7:11), and it was then that the angel imprisoned the dragon in the abysses of the Earth (possibly in the Puerto Rico abyssal trench, near the Bermuda Triangle).
The thousand years equate to 24,000 years in Earth time, a thousand years as a day, and end when Moses received the mission to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. Later, the Messiah descended to Earth to fulfill Moses' unfinished mission, as predicted in Daniel 9:24, and when Satan was released from prison, as stated in Daniel 9:27, which says, "And on the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate, even until the decreed destruction is poured out on him who makes desolate." (See topic: The Mission of the Son of God).
The end of Eden
God transferred life and water to Earth with Noah, and Venus, the ancient Eden, was completely transformed into a lake of fire that burns with sulfur because God destroyed it.
Venus lost its waters and its moon (Mercury) and drifted in retrograde motion. Venus takes eight months to complete a day and night cycle. The four angels imprisoned in the great river Euphrates are working on this. This matter is better explained in the topic "The Great and Terrible Day of the Lord".
Venus, the biblical hell, has a surface temperature of approximately 482 degrees Celsius. Its atmospheric layer, 64,000 meters high and composed of 95% carbon dioxide, causes a surface pressure 93 times greater than that observed on Earth at sea level (93 bar), and forms a permanent rain of sulfuric acid with intense electrical discharges in the upper atmospheric layers. The soil of Venus is composed of 85% volcanic lava.
The civilization of Eden was destroyed at Armageddon in an attempt to contain the power that the dragon gave to the beast, and it nearly extinguished the human race. God regretted having formed man in Eden, sent the flood, and transferred creation from Eden to Earth with Noah. Genesis 6:12 recounts, without the details that appear in Revelation 12-19, that all flesh had corrupted its way upon the earth.
There are two biblical accounts concerning the destruction of creation:
1) - On Earth were the men created on the sixth day of creation, the Neanderthals who coexisted with humans and with the descendants of Cain, who had reasoning and speech. Genesis 6:7 says that God decided to destroy men and animals from the face of the earth. In Matthew 24:38, Jesus Christ was speaking of the man God created on Earth and not the man God formed in Eden.
2) - In Eden, men were destroying each other in a bloody battle at Armageddon (Revelation 16:16) between those who were faithful to the Lamb and the worshippers of the beast, and God decided to destroy men along with the earth (Genesis 6:13). The Earth was not destroyed, but Eden was. The word "earth" also applies to Eden.
The transfer of creation was a grand project and included Noah, who was responsible for building the ark. It is understood that Noah was a shipbuilder. Revelation 18:17 makes it clear that a shipbuilding industry already existed in Eden.
God brought into the ark all the species of animals that existed in Eden. The species in Eden were more evolved than the species on Earth. In Genesis 7:15, it is reported that "two by two of every living thing that had the breath of life in them went into the ark with Noah," implying that these were not living species but rather stem cells or embryos, and God formed the species on Earth in the same way He had formed them in Eden (Genesis 2:19).
Noah and his family came alive because they possessed the "knowledge of good and evil," and this prevented the angels from reigning over mankind.
Noah and his family, and some domestic animals, came into the ark. It is understood from the text in Genesis 6:21 that the food taken into the ark was intended for Noah and his family, and not for animals. It was not possible to light a fire inside the ark.
The construction aspects of the ark (a huge wooden container) can now be elucidated, as Noah's Ark was found in 2009 by a group of Chinese and Turkish religious figures on Mount Ararat (article on the website: noahsarksearch.net ). The ark was dated, according to religious conventions, to 4,400 years ago. The flood occurred 27,000 years ago, when the Neanderthals disappeared, according to data obtained from Archaeology.
They remained in the ark from February 17, 600, to February 27, 601 of Noah's lifetime, chronologically speaking. The food Noah brought certainly wouldn't have been enough to sustain them for such a long period. Noah and his family weren't alone in this endeavor; it's understood that there was a multiplication of the food they brought to supply such a long time. Possibly, animals were brought in captivity to provide milk and eggs, as well as domestic animals (including doves and ravens). Noah must have brought all his belongings, such as furniture, household utensils, equipment necessary for agricultural activities, woodworking tools, and other items.
The waters lifted the ark fifteen cubits (7 meters) above the high mountains, and five months later, in chronological time, on the 17th of the seventh month of the 600th year of Noah's life, the ark rested on Mount Ararat . In the storm of the waters, the impact on the rocks could have destroyed the ark and the lives. The possibility of the ark resting on Mount Ararat was very small ; it would be more coherent to assume that the ark went out to sea with the waters, or even that it ran aground in low, flat regions. It is understood that the ark was transported, accommodated, and anchored on top of Mount Ararat . It was the hand of God, not physics.
Mount Ararat was chosen from among the high mountains (Genesis 7:19) to ensure the safety of creation and for the adaptation of Noah and his family to the Earth's climate. Mount Ararat is located in Turkey, near Armenia. Mount Ararat sits on the Eurasian tectonic plate, near its junction with the Arabian plate; although it resembles a volcano, there are no signs of volcanism.
Mount Ararat currently has a height of 5,137 meters, and Mount Everest 8,848 meters. If we consider Everest as a reference point among high mountains, and considering that marine sediments were found at 7,800 meters (because it was the seabed), it is presumed that before the flood it had a height of 1,048 meters. If the waters covered the high mountains in 40 days of rain, then the waters rose 1,048 meters plus 7 meters. The elevation of the relief was due to the isostatic effect of the increase in the volume of water on the planet (See Chapter VI – The geological evidence of the flood).
The flood occurred due to the convergence of the two planets, Eden and Earth. On Earth, all the fountains of the great deep burst forth and the windows of heaven were opened (Genesis 7:11), while Eden lost its waters, part of its crust, and even the Moon (Mercury), possibly involved in the event.
In Matthew 24:37 it is understood that, just as occurred in the flood, there will also be a close approach of the planet Venus to Earth (See topic: The great and terrible day of the Lord). The Earth will be destroyed, not with water as happened in the flood, but with fire and brimstone as happened to Sodom and Gomorrah (Luke 17:29). The lake of fire and brimstone burns on Venus.
The creation transferred from Eden
In the flood came: Noah, his wife, his sons Shem, Ham , and Japheth, and their wives. From Noah's three sons (Genesis 9:19) the Earth was populated. Noah's sons and their wives represent three different genetic lineages (possibly: African, European, and Asian), this lineage already existed in Eden. Noah and his family were witnesses to God's creation, they were "the lampstands that kept the flame of life burning."
Humanity did not originate from the descendants of Cain or the Neanderthals, because they were destroyed in the flood. Humanity descends from Adam and Eve, who were formed in Eden. God sent Noah, his family, and the animals, and they were saved from the flood (Genesis 6:13).
The animals mentioned in the book of Job were species from Eden: sheep, camels, oxen, donkeys (Job 1:3); spider (Job 8:14); jackals, ostriches (Job 30:29); lion (Job 38:39); raven (Job 38:41); wild goats , gazelles (Job 39:1); wild donkey, ass (Job 39:5); unicorn (Job 39:9); horse (Job 39:19); hawk (Job 39:26) and eagle (Job 39:27); and also Behemoth (equivalent to sauropods) (Job 40:15) and also Leviathan (Job 41:1) (equivalent to Kronosaurus ).
In the flood, the native species of Earth were discarded and replaced by more evolved species that came from Eden. No evolutionary fossil records of those who came on the ark with Noah have been found on Earth. The evidence of the flood lies in the disappearance of the Neanderthals, which occurred 26,000 years ago.
In the sediments left by the flood, well-preserved dinosaur carcasses are found in places called "fossil cemeteries." Petroleum and coal are derived from chemical processes and not fossil fuels, although chemical and fossil processes sometimes mix, giving the impression of being a single entity.
Evolutionism is based on the principle that species arose (macro-evolution) naturally on planet Earth, without the participation of God. Those who defend the macro-evolution of species are more inclined to deny God than to defend a theory. The theory of evolution of species does not explain the existence of the soul and spirit of human beings.
The genetic origin of human beings.
Researchers at the University of California concluded in 1986 that all human beings are descended from a woman who emerged in Africa more than 100,000 years ago and came to be called "Mitochondrial Eve." Other researchers concluded that approximately 60,000 years ago, a single Y chromosome, since the emergence of humankind on Earth, began to predominate and became known as "Y-chromosome Adam."
According to genetic studies, Adam and Eve did not meet; however, it was not Eve who emerged in Africa, but rather the daughter of man (a living soul) created on Earth in the image and likeness of God (Genesis 1:27). Adam and Eve (Genesis 2:7) were formed in Eden 66,000 years ago (See Chapter IV - Time in Biblical Chronology). This fact was recorded in human DNA through the mutation of the FOXP2 gene, one of the genes responsible for speech.
It can be understood from the study above that Seth, the third son of Adam and Eve, married a daughter of the men of Earth (a living soul), and it was from this union that mitochondrial Eve originated. The mitochondrial DNA of a woman is inherited exclusively from her mother and does not influence the Y chromosome of a man's DNA, which is transmitted only from father to son.
The Y chromosome originated "pure," perpetuated with Seth, and reached us through Noah. God sent Noah and his family to Earth, and they brought the genetic inheritance: "Y chromosome Adam" and "mitochondrial Eve."
The origin of post-diluvian peoples
Everything that was destroyed in Eden was restored on Earth. God brought from Eden: the waters, the souls, humankind, and the animals. Religion and science also came (Daniel 12:4). In truth, the culture of Eden is in the souls of men; it is common to hear the words "born with the gift," and this is observed in all human knowledge. The dead are being revived with the "knowledge of good and evil" and with the gifts that existed in the past, as can be understood through Revelation 20:5.
Noah's sons, and later ancient peoples, including the Hebrews, Sumerians, and Egyptians, were responsible for spreading the customs and geographical names that existed in Eden across the Earth. Assyria and the rivers Pishon , Gihon , Tigris, and Euphrates mentioned in Genesis 2:10 are references to Eden, not Earth.
Men were building a tower to reach Heaven (didn't they come from Eden?). God confused the languages of men, forcing them to scatter. Possibly the Tower of Babel was Göbekli. Tepe in Turkey, because it is the oldest construction and involved planetary motifs.
From the flood to the beginning of the Christian era, twenty-four thousand years passed (a thousand years as a day). Scholars can only understand human culture through archaeological findings and cave paintings left by the descendants of Cain, but they cannot visualize the culture of Eden. The people of Eden were evolved, and this is reported in Revelation chapter 18 (verses 9 to 22). It is the missing link of humanity.
Scholars can trace human culture back to 12 or 13 thousand years ago, when agriculture was introduced, along with the use of sugar, rice, wheat, and bread making, grape cultivation, wine production, olive oil production, animal domestication, etc.
The image below shows the beginning of the settlement of the Earth.
Abraham
Abraham was 58 years old when Noah died, possibly influenced by the culture of Eden. Abraham was 75 years old when God sent him from Ur in Chaldea to Canaan and promised that in him all the families of the earth would be blessed (Genesis 12:3). Canaan is located east of the Mediterranean, and it was from there that Christianity developed in Europe and later in America. The disciples were forbidden to preach the word in Asia (Acts 16:6).
God made a covenant with Abram that his descendants (through Isaac and Ishmael) would occupy the land from the Nile River to the great Euphrates River (Genesis 15:18). The Euphrates River here is not the same as the one in Eden.
God blessed Abram, but his descendants were enslaved for four hundred years (Genesis 15:13). This was the punishment God gave for the disobedience of the “ stars of heaven ” who followed the dragon (Revelation 12:4). They had to taste the poison of the ancient serpent.
Abram went with Sarah to Egypt, where there was plenty of food, and was received by Pharaoh (Genesis 12:20). This happened before the birth of Isaac.
Abraham was 100 years old when he had his son Isaac. Abraham died at 175 years old, Isaac died at 180 years old, and Jacob died at 147 years old. In chronological time, this should be multiplied by 24, as one day.
Jacob / Israel
Jacob had a vision of the ladder, where angels were ascending and descending (Genesis 28:12). Jacob went to the Land of Ur, in southern present-day Iraq. Jacob stayed with Laban, his uncle, and worked for fourteen years to have Leah and Rachel.
Jacob had twelve sons with Leah, Rachel, and his two concubines Zilpah and Bilhah. Rachel died giving birth to Benjamin (Genesis 35:17), and this happened after the angel wrestled with Jacob and changed his name to Israel (Genesis 32:28). It is understood that Benjamin was the first Israelite. Benjamin was born a living soul, hosted an angel, and triggered the "end of death" mentioned in Romans 5:14. A human being cannot have two spirits; either they have the knowledge of good and evil, or they have the angel as their spirit.
Paul wrote in Romans 5:14 that death reigned from Adam to Moses, meaning that when Moses was born in Egypt, death no longer reigned, opening the way for angels to once again dwell in men and begin the resurrection of the dead among the Gentiles.
Jacob had twelve sons. Joseph was sold by his brothers into slavery in Egypt, and he was the link that allowed the twelve tribes of Israel to move to Egypt for the same reason as Abraham: famine in the land.
From the time Jacob entered Egypt until the birth of Moses in 1680 BC, nothing is said in the Bible, but it was during this period that the pyramids and megalithic stone blocks were built on every continent with technology still unknown to mankind today. The Israelites were being afflicted in a foreign land during the time of these constructions.
The Nephilim (Giants) in antiquity
It has been mentioned that the Nephilim were angels who needed to inhabit living souls to care for God's creation on Earth. The Nephilim ceased to exist because the living souls were completely destroyed in the flood; God sent the flood and transferred creation to Earth with Noah. Noah had the "knowledge of good and evil" and prevented the angels from reigning over men. The angels returned to reign over men in ancient times during the time of Moses, when death no longer reigned, as stated in Genesis 6:4.
In fact, the valiant men of renown who lived in ancient times, mentioned in Genesis 6:4, were descendants of Jacob who entered Egypt and were enslaved for four hundred years; chronologically speaking, they were all Nephilim. The Nephilim also included the peoples of the seven nations who lived in Canaan during the time of Moses.
In Egypt, the ruling classes had elongated heads. This was because, since there were no living souls to inhabit, the angels of the dragon's legion took refuge in bodies that possessed "knowledge of good and evil," even in animals.
The sphinx with the head of a man and the body of a lion may represent the Nephilim, because angels resided in living souls and in animals, since they too are living souls.
The smaller pyramids may have been built by the Israelites who were there. The sarcophagi, Egyptian sculptures, and hieroglyphs are found in the Valley of the Kings, not in the pyramids.
It is understood that the three largest pyramids in the Giza Valley were built before the flood. Researchers have concluded that these three pyramids were generators of energy. It can be said that these three pyramids were the gateway to celestial powers on Earth, and it was no coincidence that Moses and the Messiah (Matthew 2:15) appeared in Egypt.
Megalithic constructions demonstrate their power either through the strength of those who built them or through techniques that allowed for the melting or shaping of stone blocks using technology still unknown today. The Nephilim possessed these technologies.
Moses
Moses was given the mission to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. Now transformed into the lost sheep of Israel, they were as numerous as the " stars of the sky " (Deuteronomy 10:22). Moses was an angel and a servant of God (Revelation 15:3), and he was not alone in the mission given by God (Exodus 3:14). Moses poured out the plagues on Egypt, parted the Red Sea, and led the people through the desert for forty years, where they sought the promised land.
Joshua was one of the twelve chosen from among the tallest to spy out the land of Canaan; they saw the sons of Anak as giants. The sons of Anak appear in Numbers 13:33; they were one of the seven nations that lived in Canaan in the time of Moses.
The Israelites spied out Canaan for forty days and returned grumbling, and as punishment they were given a year for each day they spied out the land, and these were the forty years they remained in the desert (Numbers 14:34). The forty years were sufficient for the Israelites to be educated within the Laws of Moses.
Of those who left Egypt, only Joshua and Caleb entered Canaan (Numbers 14:38); the others were consumed because they did evil in the eyes of the Lord (Numbers 32:13). This generation paid a price for it; they had to enter a new existence because angels do not have death, as recorded in Jeremiah 18:6. The manna transformed the Israelites from giants into people of smaller physical stature.
With the end of death, the dragon's angels also came to reign over humankind; these were the seven nations of "giants" who lived in Canaan. The dragon's legion followed the Israelites from Egypt. The sons of Anak, like Goliath, who was defeated by David, were people of great stature, two meters or more in height. Goliath was 2.80 meters tall, which corresponds to six cubits and a span (1 Samuel 17:4). The Israelites were defeated many times by these peoples. On one occasion, the Philistines defeated the Israelites and took the Ark of the Covenant and placed it in the temple of Dagon ; on another, Samson married a Philistine woman and ended up dead along with many Philistines in the temple of Dagon .
Moses was unable to overcome the forces of evil and did not enter the Promised Land. All who came after Moses also failed to overcome the forces of evil. The Israelites defiled themselves with Canaanite women and their gods (Ezra 9:1).
Genesis 6:3 was fulfilled in ancient times with Moses, who died at the age of 120, his body was buried, and the angel returned to God or entered a new existence. (See: The Lost Sheep of the House of Israel).
It took God sending his Son to complete Moses' unfinished mission. While Moses was instructed to kill the enemies, the Son of God spoke, in parable, to let both grow together until the harvest (Matthew 13:30), and that was enough for the "stars of heaven" to obey the command given (Matthew 24:35).
The biblical chronology was intended to record the "knowledge of good and evil" from Adam to Moses in Egypt. Man, created on the sixth day of creation (Genesis 1:27), appeared on Earth more than 100,000 years ago (according to archaeological data), and was not considered in the chronology because he was a "living soul."
In the text of Genesis 47:9, it is clear that the Hebrews lived much longer. Jacob tells Pharaoh that the time of his pilgrimage was 130 years, and that his days were few and evil. Isaac died at 180 years old and Jacob died at 147 years old; in chronological time, this should be multiplied by 24, as one day.
The time reported in the chronology is not the same as that of men on Earth. One thousand years in chronological time corresponds to 24,000 years, one thousand years as a day (II Peter 3:8). To correct the time since Adam, it is necessary to multiply the time by 24, as a day, but we have a conflict: if we correct Adam's age by multiplying by 24, it arrives at 22,320 years. That is a lot by our standards, but if Adam had eaten from the fruit of the tree of life, he would be alive to this day. What allowed man to have a long life was cellular renewal. Jesus Christ lived seventy weeks multiplied by 24, equals 32.2 years.
It is necessary to multiply the chronological time by 24, therefore from Adam to the flood were 39,744 years, and from the flood to the beginning of the Christian era were 25,168 years, totaling 66,938 years to this day. The correction is consistent (calibrated) with: the formation of man in Eden (Genesis 2:19), when God gave speech to man (mutation of the speech gene, data from Genetics) which occurred 66,938 years ago, and the occurrence of the flood 27,194 years ago with the disappearance of the Neanderthals (data from Archaeology).
The thousand years (millennium)
The thousand years refers to the millennial reign of Christ along with the faithful who did not worship the beast (Revelation 20:4). The faithful were killed, but they were revived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years (twenty-four thousand years, a thousand years as one day). A thousand years is also the time that the faithful will reign with Christ (the second millennium, Revelation 20:6). The text in Revelation 20:4 speaks in the past tense, as does Revelation 20:5, while Revelation 20:6 speaks in the future tense, referring to the rapture as resurrection, but not the resurrection of the dead.
A thousand years was the time the dragon was imprisoned (Revelation 20:3), and it happened after the flood, when the fountains of the great deep burst forth (Genesis 7:11).
The Israelites remained in Egypt for 400 years (Genesis 15:13) and this was fulfilled when Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt. The Israelites remained in the desert for forty years before entering Canaan, when the walls of Jericho fell, an event that occurred around 1560 BC as measured by radiocarbon dating (*).

Biblical chronology
The following shows the time in the chronology.
The seventy weeks
The mission of the Son of God was first recounted in Isaiah, which speaks of the coming of Jesus Christ to Earth.
In Isaiah 53:8, it says: “And who can recount the span of his days?” The span of Jesus Christ's life was reported by the Angel Gabriel, and is written in Daniel 9 from verse 24 to verse 27, which speaks of the seventy weeks.
Jesus Christ came to forgive, not to punish. There are seventy times seven of forgiveness (Matthew 18:22) and seventy weeks of salvation (Daniel 9:24), and he came to restore the heavenly Jerusalem (Revelation 21:14).
The order to restore and rebuild Jerusalem was not given to Nehemiah; it was fulfilled when the angel Gabriel spoke to Mary, and it was to restore and rebuild the heavenly Jerusalem that appears in Revelation 21:14. The Messiah came to save the “ stars of heaven ” that the dragon dragged after him (Revelation 12:4), represented by the lost sheep of the house of Israel (Matthew 18:11). The Son of God gathered the twelve disciples who, symbolically, are the foundations of the walls of the holy city, the heavenly Jerusalem, which needed to be restored.
The seventy weeks are in chronological time and should be multiplied by 24, like a day (II Peter 3:8), coincidence or not, it is the verse itself. 70 weeks multiplied by 24 equals 32.2 years, and that was the time that Jesus Christ's mission on Earth lasted.
The seventy weeks were divided into three stages: from the moment the angel Gabriel spoke to Mary until the Anointed One, the Prince: seven weeks; plus 62 weeks until his death and one more week, after which, having died and risen, he made a firm covenant with many (Revelation 1:18) and put an end to sacrifice and offering.
Calculation of Daniel's seventy weeks.
.jpg)
Seven weeks plus sixty-two weeks total sixty-nine weeks, multiplied by seven days of the week and multiplied by 24, as one day, totals 11,592 days, minus Mary's gestational period, because the order to restore was given to Mary. Let's consider nine months of thirty days, deduct 270 days, resulting in 11,322 days, which divided by 365.25 days results in 31 full years. The solar year has 365.25 days, no matter which calendar is used.
The calculation of Daniel's seventy weeks provides the precise date of Jesus' birth and death, and the end of the seventieth week of Jesus Christ's mission on Earth.
The following spreadsheet demonstrates this calculation. 2000 years were added to the date because the spreadsheet does not work with old dates.
We can see in the spreadsheet that Jesus Christ was killed on March 26, 0031 (Wednesday), at the age of 31, and the order to restore and rebuild Jerusalem was given on June 30th of the year -01 (minus one). Jesus was born at the beginning of spring in the Northern Hemisphere, on March 26th of the year zero, considering a gestational period of 270 days. The solar year has 365.25 days, and the year zero is included in the calculation.
The first seven-week period is equivalent to 3.22 years and goes from the order to restore to the anointed one. The seven weeks were completed on September 18th of the year 0002, when the boy Jesus was 2.5 years old and was in Egypt with his parents to escape Herod (Matthew 2:15). It can be understood that this happened out of respect for Mary, so that he could be weaned and there would be affection between mother and son. Seven weeks fulfill what is written in Genesis 3:22, which says: “Behold, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil.”
Herod died after a solar eclipse, on April 8th of the year four, when the boy Jesus was four years old and was able to return from Egypt with his parents (see: Agreements in the calculation of the seventy weeks).
Luke 3:23 states that Jesus Christ was about thirty years old when he began his mission. Jesus Christ began his mission at the age of 29, when, after his baptism, he gathered his disciples, and on the third day he turned water into wine in Cana of Galilee. On Passover, April 15, 2029, he drove out the money changers, according to John 2:13. A year later, Jesus Christ multiplied the loaves when he was 30 years old, and Passover on April 4, 2030, was approaching, according to John 6:4. The following year, Jesus Christ entered Jerusalem riding on a donkey for his last Passover with his disciples, according to John 11:55. Jesus Christ broke bread and served from the cup, calling this act the Last Supper in his memory. Jesus Christ was killed the following day, March 26, 2031, at the age of 31, not a day more or less. Jesus was killed on a Wednesday and resurrected three days later at the end of the Sabbath, and his body was not found in the tomb on the first day of the week, according to Matthew 28:1.
Jesus Christ, after his death and resurrection, fulfilled another week of his mission on Earth. A week in chronological time corresponds to 168 days (7 x 24 = 168), but his mission does not end; it continues until the end with the help of the "Spirit of Truth" sent by God (John 16:13). In Acts 1:3 it says that the disciples saw Jesus Christ for forty days; in Acts 9:5 Jesus Christ appears to Saul on the road to Damascus; in Acts 10:14 Jesus Christ appears to Peter in Joppa ; in Revelation 1:18 he appears to John on the Island of Patmos ; and in Acts 7:55 Stephen sees Jesus Christ standing at the right hand of God.
Revelation 12:5 recounts that God created a Son, a male child who will rule all nations with an iron rod, and that his Son was caught up to God and to his throne. It is understood from Daniel 12:1 that the Son of God, the Lamb, was the Archangel Michael himself, who defeated Satan and established eternal justice.
Jesus Christ, after fulfilling his mission, received all power in Heaven and on Earth and established eternal justice. The Son of God fulfilled the promise God made to Abraham, that through his descendants all the families of the Earth would be blessed (Genesis 28:14).
Agreements in the calculation of seventy weeks
The historian Flavius Josephus (37-100 AD ) wrote that Herod died after a lunar eclipse not long after Passover. Lunar eclipses are observed at night and are not a reliable reference point. The lunar eclipse pushed Herod's death back to 4 BC and has generated confusion regarding the date of Jesus' birth to this day. Josephus must be referring to the annular solar eclipse of April 8th, 4 AD, observed throughout the Roman Empire, which occurred after Passover on March 23rd, 4 AD. Herod died after April 8th, 4 AD, already out of his reign due to illness, now under the rule of his son. Herod Archelaus (Matthew 2:22).
Occurrences of solar eclipses in the Roman Empire during the time of Herod; the arrow indicates Rome and the circle indicates Jerusalem. The photo of the solar eclipse as seen from Rome is illustrative.
On April 8, 2024, exactly 2020 years later, a total eclipse occurred in North America and serves as a point of comparison. The eclipse began in the Pacific, passed through Mexico, the USA, Canada, and ended in the Atlantic.

The commandment of baptism among the Gentiles.
It has been said that the commandment of baptism does not apply to the "lost sheep of the House of Israel" because they are the angels whom Jesus Christ came to save (Matthew 18:11), within the Calvinist concept of salvation.
The doctrine of baptism is a covenant of salvation and represents the burial of the old man who has been revived from death (Revelation 20:5). Baptism also represents the renunciation of free will (Genesis 4:7).
Jesus Christ set the example of baptism for the Gentiles when he was baptized by John the Baptist because he too possessed the “knowledge of good and evil.” Paul, like many Jews of his generation, was not a sheep of the House of Israel; they were Gentiles and were baptized because they had the “knowledge of good and evil.” The opportunity for salvation was given, but it is necessary to persevere to the end.
Jesus Christ came to his own people, but was not received among the Israelites of his generation (John 1:11). However, God's promise to the Jewish people is kept and will be fulfilled with the Gentiles before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes, as stated in Acts 2:21. Jesus Christ also prayed to the Father for the Gentiles (John 17:20).
Religions on Earth
God made a covenant with Abram that his descendants (through Isaac and Ishmael) would occupy the land from the Nile River to the great Euphrates River (Genesis 15:18). The Jews are descendants of Isaac and the Arabs of Ishmael.
King Nebuchadnezzar sought the interpretation of his dream from the magicians, enchanters, soothsayers, and Chaldeans (Daniel 2:2). Daniel gave an interpretation with two meanings. The first concerned his reign and the kingdoms that would succeed it. The second is destined to happen in the last days.
The statue in Nebuchadnezzar's vision revealed to Daniel (Daniel 2:31), supported on feet of iron mixed with human seeds (Daniel 2:43), represents the religions on Earth, all rooted in the teachings of their founders, and this is being fulfilled in our days. The God of Heaven will raise up a kingdom that will never be destroyed (Daniel 2:44). It is a vision that will occur at the end of days (Daniel 2:28).
God has not revealed the secrets of the Bible, and the result is the diversity of religions, each with its own religious teachings. Many religious leaders behave like magicians, enchanters, and soothsayers (Daniel 2:2), and they do so with the aim of gaining prestige and money. There will be punishment for this (Matthew 7:23).
The evil represented by the beast and the dragon and their angels manifested itself soon after Noah's arrival. Ancient peoples inherited the belief in pagan gods, and these customs are present among humanity. The forces of evil work to annihilate the forces of good and conspire against the Son of God.
The second temple was destroyed in 70 AD, and in that location, after the death of Muhammad, a structure known as the Dome of the Rock was built. It is understood that Paul's prophecy to the Thessalonians (2 Thessalonians 2:4) is being fulfilled in our time.
The three Abrahamic temples were built to unite Jews, Arabs, and Christians, but the forces of good do not unite with the forces of evil. The Abrahamic covenant was proposed to eliminate conflicts between the Abrahamic nations.
The return of the beast
After the war in Heaven, the defeated dragon relinquished his authority, his throne, and great power to a beast that rose from the sea (Revelation 13:4). The dragon was imprisoned, and it only took one angel to bind him, because he had given power to the beast. He imprisoned him for a thousand years in chronological time, equivalent to 24,000 years, a thousand years being like a day.
The thousand years begin with the flood when the fountains of the great deep burst forth, at which time an angel descends to Earth and binds the dragon in the depths of the Earth (Revelation 20:3).
The desolator was released after Jesus Christ completed the seventy weeks of His mission on Earth, which can be understood from Daniel 9:27 when it says, “And on the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate, even until the decreed destruction is poured out on the one who makes desolate.”
The two beasts are mentioned in six chapters of the book of Revelation (13, 14, 15, 16, 18, and 19). These six chapters recount events that took place in Eden before the flood, when the bowls of God's wrath were poured out on those who worshiped the beast and its image and received its mark on their foreheads or hands. The worshipers of the beast were gathered for a battle at a place called Armageddon (Revelation 16:16). The beast that rose from the earth and the false prophet were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur (Revelation 19:20).
Chapter 17 of the book of Revelation recounts the return of the beast. The beast that rose from the sea managed to escape the waters of the flood, remaining in the depths of the earth until the appearance of the eighth king (Revelation 17:11).
The woman mentioned in Revelation 17:6 is the great city that reigns over the kings of the earth, and the beast that carries her has seven heads and ten horns (Revelation 17:17).
Those who are waiting for the mark of the beast are mistaken (the 666 chip came to confuse), this happened in the past and should not happen again, especially since everyone has already been enlightened through Revelation 13. The beast appeared and deceived many because it needs the power of the worship they are giving it, that is, they will "be amazed" as mentioned in Revelation 17:8.
The beast has seven heads, and each head is a mountain (Revelation 17:9 doesn't mention geography); these are the adornments, and they established themselves as seven queens through appearances, deceiving those who want to be deceived.
The ten horns are the powers (political powers) that the dragon gave to the beast, and they are cited as ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom (have not received a body), but will receive authority as kings for one hour along with the beast, the eighth king.
Revelation 17:16 makes it clear that the ten horns (ten kings) will turn against the beast and destroy it.
The fate of the beast is described in Revelation 20:10; it will be thrown into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur, where the beast that rose from the earth and the false prophet are also.
The great tribulation
The image below is a representation, based on biblical texts, of what the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ (son of man) to Earth will be like and will mark the beginning of the great tribulation.

Wallpaper obtained from the internet.
Jesus Christ called himself the morning star because he represents the determined destruction that will be poured out on the desolator (Daniel 9:27). The determined destruction is the great and terrible day of the Lord mentioned in Joel 2:31.
In Revelation 22:16, Jesus Christ called himself the morning star; in Matthew 24:27, he will be seen from the east to the west; and finally, all the tribes of the earth will see the Son of Man on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
Matthew 24:37 says that, just as happened in the flood, there will also be a close approach of the planet Venus to Earth. The Earth will be destroyed, not with water as happened in the flood, but with fire and brimstone as happened to Sodom and Gomorrah (Luke 17:29). The lake of fire and brimstone burns on Venus. This was also prophesied in Isaiah 2:19.
The sun appeared over Sodom and Gomorrah in the time of Lot. It wasn't the sun, but the planet Venus, because that's where the lake of fire that burns with sulfur is located.
The Rapture
The rapture of Christ's church will occur after the great tribulation. The word "rapture" does not appear in the Bible. Jesus Christ spoke of gathering the elect (Matthew 24:31), and Paul wrote that the dead will be resurrected incorruptible, and those who are alive on that day will be transformed in the twinkling of an eye, after the last trumpet (1 Corinthians 15:52).
The rapture cannot be at the last trumpet as Paul spoke of in 1 Corinthians 15:52, because the last trumpet is the second death (Revelation 21:8). The rapture will be after the sixth seal and before the first trumpet. The first resurrection mentioned in Revelation 20:6 is the rapture of the church of Christ. Here it says that we will die, but the second death will have no power over us.
The shortened days mentioned by Jesus Christ in Matthew 24:22 are the 1290 and 1335 days mentioned in Daniel 12:11, and are counted after the continual burnt offering is taken away, and are counted from the transit of the morning star across the earth. Thus, the 1290 days arrive on December 17, 2093, and the 1335 days arrive on November 27, 2165. Therefore, the days will be shortened.
The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood during the great tribulation, as mentioned in Revelation 6:12, Joel 2:31, and Acts 2:20; this will happen before the great and terrible day of the Lord, which will be at the seventh and final trumpet.
In the image, the sun can be seen in darkness and the moon blood-red.
It will not be the moon that covers the sun as happens in a solar eclipse. It will be the planet Venus that covers the sun, shining like a sack of silicon. The approach of Venus will cause strong earthquakes and will remove mountains and islands from their places. It will be the great tribulation because everything will be destroyed; no building will remain standing. The Earth continues its rotation, but its tilt will become unstable, and men will see the sky roll up like a scroll, as can be understood through Revelation 6:14.
After opening the last of the seven seals, seven trumpets were given to the seven angels to destroy the Earth. But before the first trumpet was sounded, John saw four angels standing at the four corners of the Earth holding back the four winds of the earth, so that no wind would blow on the earth or on the sea or on any tree (Revelation 7:1), until the servants of God were sealed (Revelation 7:4).
Revelation 7:9 makes it clear that the rapture of Christ's church will be after the sixth seal and before the first trumpet, but it will fulfill what is stated in Acts 2:21 and Joel 2:32.
After the sixth seal, Venus and Earth will continue orbiting the Sun, but the collision of the planets will happen at the sixth trumpet when the four angels who are imprisoned in the great river Euphrates will be released (Revelation 9:14).
There will not be seven years of tribulation; the great and terrible day of the Lord will be at the seventh trumpet, as mentioned in Revelation 10:7 and Isaiah 2:19. However, the day and hour belong solely to the Father, as stated in Matthew 24:36.
A new heaven and a new earth
The civilization of Eden lasted for 40,000 years and was destroyed at Armageddon (Revelation 16:16). God sent Noah to Earth, and with him the species of animals that were in Eden. God sent the waters and prepared the conditions on Earth to accommodate the current overpopulation. He also sent souls, religion, science, and gifts, which came with the souls, and shortened the lifespan of men for this new reality.
The Earth is already reaching exhaustion and has become corrupted. There is already a new heaven and a new earth (Revelation 21:1). The Earth and Eden return to their formless and empty origins, as they were in the beginning, because the sea will no longer exist.
It is understood, as stated by the Lord Jesus Christ in Matthew 25:34, that mankind will occupy a new heaven and a new earth that has been prepared since the foundation of the world.
Revelation 20:6 clarifies that we had a past life, we died, we rose from the dead (Matthew 22:31), and now we will be caught up, but the second death will have no power over us, and we will be priests of God and of Christ and reign with Him for a thousand years (24,000 years, a thousand years as one day), meaning that we will reign in a physical body, therefore human life will continue in a transformed body without death.
Genesis 1:6 recounts that God created a firmament in the midst of the waters, separating the waters and with them the physical means of support. When it says that God separated the waters, it is referring to two planets, Earth and Eden. Then God gathered the waters that were under the sky and made dry land appear. It is understood that the gravitational force created was great enough to keep the waters under pressure and break the crust, allowing the landforms to rise.
Venus and Earth are rocky, twin planets, and have similar size and gravitational force, so they tend to occupy the same orbit around the Sun. It was necessary for God to create the luminaries in the firmament of the heavens "to separate the day from the night; for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years." It is understood that the luminaries were the Moon of Venus (Mercury) and the Moon of Earth, and this caused the planets to have independent orbits.
The planet Venus next to the planet Earth, as in the flood.
Paul wrote in Romans 5:14 that death reigned from Adam to Moses. This means that when Moses was born in Egypt, death no longer reigned because children were reborn as living souls, as they were originally created, and men could be revived from death, and angels could once again dwell in men. Paul was an apostle of Jesus Christ connected to the Gentiles.
● Romans 5:14 » Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the likeness of Adam's transgression, who is a figure of him that was to come.
Life expectancy today is a small fraction of what it was for humans in Eden. What allowed humans to live long lives was cellular renewal. The capacity for cellular renewal has decreased (cellular senescence), and humans have begun to age. It can be understood that there is a loss in the quality of life; in other words, humanity is not evolving, it is regressing, humanity is "turning to dust."
The resurrection of the dead among the Gentiles is like the replanting of a tree (spirit) in the dust of the earth (living souls), and no longer with the growth of a tree from a seed, and this may have caused congenital deformities among humans. The knowledge of good and evil has deep roots and allows for a better understanding for man; this means that this spirit envelops the whole body and even causes pain in those who have fractures. Jesus Christ said to the sick, "Your sins are forgiven."
Human beings, through genetic inheritance, may possess few or many resources (physical stature, extensive memory, fast processing power, etc.), but they don't function solely through matter (hardware); they need spirit, soul, and gifts. The spirit is like an operating system, the soul is an interface that allows the spirit to communicate with the body, and gifts are like applications, and viruses exist to cause harm to humans. No two human beings are alike; each human being has a different configuration. The knowledge of good and evil is like a Macintosh, having drivers integrated with the operating system, while angels are like Windows, needing drivers and being uninstallable.
Genesis 3:19 explains the sending of man to Earth, from where he was taken. This was fulfilled with Noah.
● Genesis 3:19 » in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
It is understood, through Genesis 3:22, that the man formed in Eden was the work that the Son of God did together with his Father; this is written in John 1:2 and 1:3.
● John 1:2 » The same was in the beginning with God.
● John 1:3 » All things were made through him; and without him was not anything made that hath been made.
Cain killed Abel and was expelled from Eden.
Cain and Abel's offerings were personally delivered to God, but God rejected Cain's offering (Genesis 4:5). Cain killed Abel, and as punishment, God banished him to the land of Nod. Cain feared the people of the land of Nod, so God put a mark on him, making him look like the natives so that no one would kill him. Cain married a native woman, the daughter of a man from the land (Genesis 4:17). The land of Nod was the planet Earth and was east of Eden; today, Venus is east of Earth.
● Genesis 4:5 » but unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
● Genesis 4:7 » And Cain told Abel his brother. And it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
● Genesis 4:8 » And Cain told Abel his brother. And it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
● Genesis 4:14 » Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the ground; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth; and it will come to pass, that whosoever findeth me will slay me.
● Genesis 4:16 » And Cain went out from the presence of Jehovah, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
● Genesis 4:17 » And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.
Genesis 4:20 mentions the deeds of Cain's descendants on Earth before the flood. Jabal was the first to dwell in tents and own livestock, Jubal (Genesis 4:21) was the first to play the harp and flute, and Tubal -Cain (Genesis 4:22) was the maker of all kinds of cutting tools made of copper and iron. Objects used by Cain's descendants (flutes, sculptures, and woven threads) have been found in Europe through archaeological excavations, dating back 30,000 to 35,000 years using radiocarbon dating. Similarly, cave paintings have been found ( Chauvett Cave, among others).
On Earth, the descendants of Cain coexisted with Neanderthals and native humans. According to archaeology, Neanderthals appeared on Earth long before humans. There is a theory that speaks of interbreeding between humans and Neanderthals based on the Lapedo Child fossil in Portugal, but both humans and Neanderthals disappeared in the flood. Post-flood humans inherited Noah's DNA, and Noah was from Eden.
Native Americans and Neanderthals were typical cavemen; they had some form of communication, but possessed little intelligence. They lacked the spirit or angel that could grant them reason and speech. The descendants of Cain, however, possessed the "knowledge of good and evil," which gave them reason and speech, and they were the ones who initiated human migrations from Africa to Australia, Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Before the flood, the continents allowed for human migration.
The Nephilim / Giants on Earth
The Nephilim were the sentinels who watched over God's creation on Earth. The Nephilim were angels, and to be sentinels, they needed to inhabit living souls. The living souls were the men created on the sixth day of creation (Genesis 1:27), unlike the sons of God, the descendants of Cain, who were born with the "knowledge of good and evil" and could not inhabit angels.
● Genesis 6:4 » The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons of God came unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them: the same were the mighty men that were of old, the men of renown.
The sons of God were descendants of Cain and took for themselves daughters of men on Earth, of all whom they chose, who bore them children. This happened because they were of the same species, they were human beings. The descendants of Cain were part of the generation of Adam, who spread the "knowledge of good and evil".
● Genesis 6:1 » And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the ground, and daughters were born unto them,
● Genesis 6:2 » that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all that they chose.
Although the Nephilim were genetically able to have children with the daughters of men, they generated living souls, just like the beings that provided their physical support, without a spirit. Upon death, the Nephilim angel entered a new existence.
The Nephilim are referred to in some versions of the Bible as "giants." Giants are mentioned in the Book of Enoch (an apocryphal book). Enoch (father of Methuselah) was from Eden, and he mentions two hundred angels, sons of heaven, who fathered giants with the daughters of men. These angels were the celestial elite and could not defile themselves with women. These angels were punished, and as punishment they were imprisoned in the depths of the Earth, and will remain there until the end. The giants born from relationships with the daughters of men were living souls; they did not have a spirit, nor did they possess reasoning or speech. The giants prevailed through brute force.
● Book of Enoch 6:2 »And when the angels, the children of heaven, saw them, fell in love with them, saying to one another: Come, let us select wives for ourselves from the progeny of men, and bear children.
In the flood, the Nephilim ceased to exist because the living souls were completely destroyed, and they appear after death ceased in antiquity, in the time of Moses, as mentioned in Romans 5:14. This subject continues in the topic: The Nephilim in antiquity.
Human life continues in Eden.
After Cain killed Abel and was deported to Earth, Eve gave birth to Seth. Seth's wife was a living soul, native to Earth, just as Cain's wife was (Genesis 4:17). Inbreeding does not produce healthy offspring, therefore Seth could not have married one of his sisters as many believe. The mitochondrial DNA of a woman has exclusively maternal inheritance and does not influence the Y chromosome of a man's DNA, which is transmitted only from father to son.
● Genesis 4:25 » And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth. For, `said she', God hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel; for Cain slew him.
The Bible only records the chronology of the firstborn male; once Cain was deported to the planet Earth (the land of Nod ), the chronology continued in parallel in Eden with Seth. The biblical chronology was intended to record the lifespan of God's children, who possessed the "knowledge of good and evil." Living souls do not appear in the biblical chronology.
From Adam to the flood, approximately 40,000 years passed, which corresponds to 1656 years in chronological time; this should be multiplied by 24, like a day. The people of Eden reached a high level of development, as can be understood through the texts found in Revelation chapter 18.
● Revelation 18:12 » merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stone, and pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet; and all thyine wood, and every vessel of ivory, and every vessel made of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble;
● Revelation 18:13 » and cinnamon, and spice, and incense, and ointment, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and cattle, and sheep; and `merchandise' of horses and chariots and slaves; and souls of men.
The quotations from the book of Job also make mention of the culture of the people of Eden: loom shuttles (Job 7:6); soap (Job 9:30); cheese (Job 10:10); grapes, olive trees (Job 15:33); harp, flute, tambourine (Job 21:12); copper, iron (Job 28:2); gold, beryl, sapphire (Job 28:16); jewels (Job 28:17); crystal, pearl (Job 28:18) and topaz (Job 28:19).
Job's lifespan is not mentioned, but his days were many (Job 38:21). God appeared to Job personally (Job 42:5).
● Job 38:21 » `Doubtless', thou knowest, for thou wast then born, And the number of thy days is great!
● Job 42:5 » I had heard of thee by the hearing of the ear; But now mine eye seeth thee:
Job's suffering begins when God, knowing Satan's wickedness, provokes him by exalting Job. Job's faithfulness to God was the trigger for the war in heaven and Satan's downfall (Revelation 12:10).
● Job 1:8 » And Jehovah said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job? for there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and turneth away from evil.
● Job 1:11 » But put forth thy hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will renounce thee to thy face.
● Revelation 12:10 » And I heard a great voice in heaven, saying, Now is come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, who accuseth them before our God day and night.
The Book of Job, from chapter 2 to 37, recounts Job's dialogue with his friends.
● Job 2:11 » Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one from his own place: Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, and they made an appointment together to come to bemoan him and to comfort him.
Job lived in Eden when the war in Heaven took place, about thirty thousand years ago. After God blessed Job, he lived another 140 years in chronological time and died full of days.
● Job 42:16 » And after this Job lived a hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, `even' four generations.
● Job 42:17 » So Job died, being old and full of days.
Life in Eden was marked by the rivalry between Satan and the Lamb. In John 8:44 it is understood that the rivalry began between Cain and Abel.
● John 8:44 » Ye are of `your' father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and standeth 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 thereof.
Chapter II
The War in Heaven
The War in Heaven
Job's faithfulness to God was the trigger for the war in heaven and the fall of Satan (Revelation 12:10). The dragon dragged after him a third of the " stars of heaven " and threw them to the earth. The third of the " stars of heaven " that appear in Revelation 12:4 are counted and belong to God. The " stars of heaven " were transformed into the lost sheep of the house of Israel that the Son of God came to seek (Matthew 18:11).
● Revelation 12:4 » And his tail draweth the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon standeth before the woman that is about to be delivered, that when she is delivered he may devour her child.
● Revelation 12:10 » And I heard a great voice in heaven, saying, Now is come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, who accuseth them before our God day and night.
● Matthew 18:11 » `For the Son of man came to save that which was lost.'
There was a war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought, but the dragon and his angels were not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven (Revelation 12:7). The dragon was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him (Revelation 12:9).
● Revelation 12:7 » And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels `going forth' to war with the dragon; and the dragon warred and his angels;
● Revelation 12:8 » And they prevailed not, neither was their place found any more in heaven.
● Revelation 12:9 » And the great dragon was cast down, the old serpent, he that is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world; he was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him.
● Revelation 12:12 » Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe for the earth and for the sea: because the devil is gone down unto you, having great wrath, knowing that he hath but a short time.
The civilization of Eden lasted for 40,000 years, from Adam until the flood, corresponding to 1656 years in chronological time. In principle, the war in Heaven should not have affected the people of Eden, but the civilization of Eden ended up being destroyed at Armageddon (Revelation 16:16) in an attempt to contain the power that the dragon gave to the beast and almost extinguished the human race. God regretted having formed man in Eden (Genesis 6:13), sent the flood, and transferred creation to Earth with Noah.
● Revelation 16:16 » And they gathered them together into the place which is called in Hebrew Har-magedon.
● Genesis 6:13 » And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
It can be understood from chapter 18 of the book of Revelation that the great Babylon was where the political and economic power of Eden resided; it was there that goods were produced and traded. This means that Babylon's influence allowed the beast to emerge. Its power dominated the kings of the earth.
● Revelation 18:9 » And the kings of the earth, who committed fornication and lived wantonly with her, shall weep and wail over her, when they look upon the smoke of her burning,
● Revelation 18:11 » And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, for no man buyeth their merchandise any more;
● Revelation 18:17 » for in an hour so great riches is made desolate. And every shipmaster, and every one that saileth any wither, and mariners, and as many as gain their living by sea, stood afar off,
● Revelation 18:22 » And the voice of harpers and minstrels and flute-players and trumpeters shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft, shall be found any more at all in thee; and the voice of a mill shall be heard no more at all in thee;
● Revelation 18:18 » and cried out as they looked upon the smoke of her burning, saying, What `city' is like the great city?
The two beasts
The two beasts are mentioned in seven chapters of the Book of Revelation (from chapter 13 to 19), however, six chapters recount events that took place in Eden before the flood when the seven bowls of God's wrath were poured out on those who worshiped the beast and its image and received the mark on their foreheads or hands. Chapter 17 of the Book of Revelation recounts the return of the beast.
Revelation 13:2 recounts that the dragon gave his authority, his throne, and great power to the beast that rose from the sea. After this beast was wounded, another beast rose from the earth (Revelation 13:11). The beast that rose from the earth persecuted those who were faithful to the Lamb and established a mark by which no one could buy or sell unless they worshiped the beast (that rose from the sea) or received the mark or the number of its name on their hand or on their forehead (Revelation 13:16). The men in Eden yielded to the beast's pressure and received the mark.
● Revelation 13:1 » and he stood upon the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns, and seven heads, and on his horns ten diadems, and upon his heads names of blasphemy.
● Revelation 13:2 » And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as `the feet' of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his throne, and great authority.
● Revelation 13:3 » And `I saw' one of his heads as though it had been smitten unto death; and his death-stroke was healed: and the whole earth wondered after the beast;
● Revelation 13:4 » and they worshipped the dragon, because he gave his authority unto the beast; and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? And who is able to war with him?
● Revelation 13:6 » And he opened his mouth for blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, `even' them that dwell in the heaven.
● Revelation 13:7 » And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and there was given to him authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation.
● Revelation 13:8 » And all that dwell on the earth shall worship him, `every one' whose name hath not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb that hath been slain.
● Revelation 13:11 » And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like unto lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
● Revelation 13:12 » And he exerciseth all the authority of the first beast in his sight. And he maketh the earth and them dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose death-stroke was healed.
● Revelation 13:13 » And he doeth great signs, that he should even make fire to come down out of heaven upon the earth in the sight of men.
● Revelation 13:14 » And he deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by reason of the signs which it was given him to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast who hath the stroke of the sword and lived.
● Revelation 13:15 » And it was given `unto him' to give breath to it, `even' to the image to the breast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as should not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
● Revelation 13:16 » And he causeth all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the bond, that there be given them a mark on their right hand, or upon their forehead;
● Revelation 13:17 » and that no man should be able to buy or to sell, save he that hath the mark, `even' the name of the beast or the number of his name.
The battle continues in Eden, now against the beast and against those who worshiped the beast or received its mark on their foreheads or hands (Revelation 14:9). At this moment, the Lamb appears in battle formation with his 144,000 servants (Revelation 14:1). The Book of Life appeared to record those who were faithful to the Lamb (Revelation 13:8).
● Revelation 14:1 » And I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on the mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty and four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads.
● Revelation 14:7 » and he saith with a great voice, Fear God, and give him glory; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made the heaven and the earth and sea and fountains of waters.
● Revelation 14:9 » And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a great voice, If any man worshippeth the beast and his image, and receiveth a mark on his forehead, or upon his hand,
● Revelation 14:10 » he also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is prepared unmixed in the cup of his anger; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
● Revelation 14:13 » And I heard the voice from heaven saying, Write, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth: yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; for their works follow with them.
Chapter 16 of Revelation mentions that the bowls of God's wrath were poured out on those who worshiped the beast and its image and received its mark on their foreheads or hands (Revelation 16:1), and there was great mortality among men in Eden in a place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon (Revelation 16:16).
● Revelation 16:1 » And I heard a great voice out of the temple, saying to the seven angels, Go ye, and pour out the seven bowls of the wrath of God into the earth.
● Revelation 16:16 » And they gathered them together into the place which is called in Hebrew Har-magedon.
Revelation 19:20 mentions that the beast that rose from the earth and the false prophet were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur in Eden.
● Revelation 19:20 » And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought the signs in his sight, wherewith he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast and them that worshipped his image: they two were cast alive into the lake of fire that burneth with brimstone:
The beast that rose from the sea managed to escape the waters of the flood and remained hidden in the depths of the earth (Revelation 17:8). Chapter 17 of the book of Revelation recounts the return of the beast and how what happened in the past will happen again; human civilization will be destroyed once more.
● Revelation 17:8 » The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss, and to go into perdition. And they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, `they' whose name hath not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast, how that he was, and is not, and shall come.
Moses appears with the Lamb in Revelation 15:3, and with them those who were slain and did not worship the beast or its image. The faithful were revived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years (Revelation 20:4 speaks in the past tense). Moses and the Lamb represented two-thirds of the “ stars of heaven ,” the other third the dragon dragged after itself.
● Revelation 15:2 » And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire; and them that come off victorious from the beast, and from his image, and from the number of his name, standing by the sea of glass, having harps of God.
● Revelation 15:3 » And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, O Lord God, the Almighty; righteous and true are thy ways, thou King of the ages.
● Revelation 20:4 » And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and `I saw' the souls of them that had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God, and such as worshipped not the beast, neither his image, and received not the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand; and they lived, and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
Revelation 20:2 recounts that an angel descended to Earth and seized the dragon, binding him for a thousand years. The angel threw him into the abyss, and shut and sealed it over him. In the flood, the fountains of the great deep burst forth (Genesis 7:11), and it was then that the angel imprisoned the dragon in the abysses of the Earth (possibly in the Puerto Rico abyssal trench, near the Bermuda Triangle).
● Revelation 20:1 » And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand.
● Revelation 20:2 » And he laid hold on the dragon, the old serpent, which is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years,
● Revelation 20:3 » and cast him into the abyss, and shut `it', and sealed `it' over him, that he should deceive the nations no more, until the thousand years should be finished: after this he must be loosed for a little time.
The thousand years equate to 24,000 years in Earth time, a thousand years as a day, and end when Moses received the mission to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. Later, the Messiah descended to Earth to fulfill Moses' unfinished mission, as predicted in Daniel 9:24, and when Satan was released from prison, as stated in Daniel 9:27, which says, "And on the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate, even until the decreed destruction is poured out on him who makes desolate." (See topic: The Mission of the Son of God).
● Daniel 9:24 » Seventy weeks are decreed upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy.
● Daniel 9:27 » And he shall make a firm covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease; and upon the wing of abominations `shall come' one that maketh desolate; and even unto the full end, and that determined, shall `wrath' be poured out upon the desolate.
The end of Eden
God transferred life and water to Earth with Noah, and Venus, the ancient Eden, was completely transformed into a lake of fire that burns with sulfur because God destroyed it.
Venus lost its waters and its moon (Mercury) and drifted in retrograde motion. Venus takes eight months to complete a day and night cycle. The four angels imprisoned in the great river Euphrates are working on this. This matter is better explained in the topic "The Great and Terrible Day of the Lord".
Venus, the biblical hell, has a surface temperature of approximately 482 degrees Celsius. Its atmospheric layer, 64,000 meters high and composed of 95% carbon dioxide, causes a surface pressure 93 times greater than that observed on Earth at sea level (93 bar), and forms a permanent rain of sulfuric acid with intense electrical discharges in the upper atmospheric layers. The soil of Venus is composed of 85% volcanic lava.
Chapter III
The preservation of God's creation in the flood.
The preservation of God's creation in the flood.
The civilization of Eden was destroyed at Armageddon in an attempt to contain the power that the dragon gave to the beast, and it nearly extinguished the human race. God regretted having formed man in Eden, sent the flood, and transferred creation from Eden to Earth with Noah. Genesis 6:12 recounts, without the details that appear in Revelation 12-19, that all flesh had corrupted its way upon the earth.
● Genesis 6:12 » And God saw the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth.
There are two biblical accounts concerning the destruction of creation:
1) - On Earth were the men created on the sixth day of creation, the Neanderthals who coexisted with humans and with the descendants of Cain, who had reasoning and speech. Genesis 6:7 says that God decided to destroy men and animals from the face of the earth. In Matthew 24:38, Jesus Christ was speaking of the man God created on Earth and not the man God formed in Eden.
● Genesis 6:6 » And it repented Jehovah that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
● Genesis 6:7 » And Jehovah said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the ground; both man, and beast, and creeping things, and birds of the heavens; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
● Matthew 24:38 » For as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,
2) - In Eden, men were destroying each other in a bloody battle at Armageddon (Revelation 16:16) between those who were faithful to the Lamb and the worshippers of the beast, and God decided to destroy men along with the earth (Genesis 6:13). The Earth was not destroyed, but Eden was. The word "earth" also applies to Eden.
● Genesis 6:13 » And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
The transfer of creation was a grand project and included Noah, who was responsible for building the ark. It is understood that Noah was a shipbuilder. Revelation 18:17 makes it clear that a shipbuilding industry already existed in Eden.
● Revelation 18:17 » for in an hour so great riches is made desolate. And every shipmaster, and every one that saileth any wither, and mariners, and as many as gain their living by sea, stood afar off,
God brought into the ark all the species of animals that existed in Eden. The species in Eden were more evolved than the species on Earth. In Genesis 7:15, it is reported that "two by two of every living thing that had the breath of life in them went into the ark with Noah," implying that these were not living species but rather stem cells or embryos, and God formed the species on Earth in the same way He had formed them in Eden (Genesis 2:19).
Noah and his family came alive because they possessed the "knowledge of good and evil," and this prevented the angels from reigning over mankind.
● Genesis 7:15 » And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh wherein is the breath of life.
● Genesis 7:16 » And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him: and Jehovah shut him in.
● Genesis 2:19 » And out of the ground Jehovah God formed every beast of the field, and every bird of the heavens; and brought them unto the man to see what he would call them: and whatsoever the man called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
Noah and his family, and some domestic animals, came into the ark. It is understood from the text in Genesis 6:21 that the food taken into the ark was intended for Noah and his family, and not for animals. It was not possible to light a fire inside the ark.
● Genesis 6:21 » And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.
The construction aspects of the ark (a huge wooden container) can now be elucidated, as Noah's Ark was found in 2009 by a group of Chinese and Turkish religious figures on Mount Ararat (article on the website: noahsarksearch.net ). The ark was dated, according to religious conventions, to 4,400 years ago. The flood occurred 27,000 years ago, when the Neanderthals disappeared, according to data obtained from Archaeology.
They remained in the ark from February 17, 600, to February 27, 601 of Noah's lifetime, chronologically speaking. The food Noah brought certainly wouldn't have been enough to sustain them for such a long period. Noah and his family weren't alone in this endeavor; it's understood that there was a multiplication of the food they brought to supply such a long time. Possibly, animals were brought in captivity to provide milk and eggs, as well as domestic animals (including doves and ravens). Noah must have brought all his belongings, such as furniture, household utensils, equipment necessary for agricultural activities, woodworking tools, and other items.
The waters lifted the ark fifteen cubits (7 meters) above the high mountains, and five months later, in chronological time, on the 17th of the seventh month of the 600th year of Noah's life, the ark rested on Mount Ararat . In the storm of the waters, the impact on the rocks could have destroyed the ark and the lives. The possibility of the ark resting on Mount Ararat was very small ; it would be more coherent to assume that the ark went out to sea with the waters, or even that it ran aground in low, flat regions. It is understood that the ark was transported, accommodated, and anchored on top of Mount Ararat . It was the hand of God, not physics.
● Genesis 8:4 » And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
Mount Ararat was chosen from among the high mountains (Genesis 7:19) to ensure the safety of creation and for the adaptation of Noah and his family to the Earth's climate. Mount Ararat is located in Turkey, near Armenia. Mount Ararat sits on the Eurasian tectonic plate, near its junction with the Arabian plate; although it resembles a volcano, there are no signs of volcanism.
Mount Ararat currently has a height of 5,137 meters, and Mount Everest 8,848 meters. If we consider Everest as a reference point among high mountains, and considering that marine sediments were found at 7,800 meters (because it was the seabed), it is presumed that before the flood it had a height of 1,048 meters. If the waters covered the high mountains in 40 days of rain, then the waters rose 1,048 meters plus 7 meters. The elevation of the relief was due to the isostatic effect of the increase in the volume of water on the planet (See Chapter VI – The geological evidence of the flood).
The flood occurred due to the convergence of the two planets, Eden and Earth. On Earth, all the fountains of the great deep burst forth and the windows of heaven were opened (Genesis 7:11), while Eden lost its waters, part of its crust, and even the Moon (Mercury), possibly involved in the event.
● Genesis 7:11 » In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
In Matthew 24:37 it is understood that, just as occurred in the flood, there will also be a close approach of the planet Venus to Earth (See topic: The great and terrible day of the Lord). The Earth will be destroyed, not with water as happened in the flood, but with fire and brimstone as happened to Sodom and Gomorrah (Luke 17:29). The lake of fire and brimstone burns on Venus.
● Matthew 24:37 » And as `were' the days of Noah, so shall be the coming of the Son of man.
● Matthew 24:38 » For as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,
● Luke 17:29 » but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all:
● Luke 5:30 pm » after the same manner shall it be in the day that the Son of man is revealed.
The creation transferred from Eden
In the flood came: Noah, his wife, his sons Shem, Ham , and Japheth, and their wives. From Noah's three sons (Genesis 9:19) the Earth was populated. Noah's sons and their wives represent three different genetic lineages (possibly: African, European, and Asian), this lineage already existed in Eden. Noah and his family were witnesses to God's creation, they were "the lampstands that kept the flame of life burning."
Humanity did not originate from the descendants of Cain or the Neanderthals, because they were destroyed in the flood. Humanity descends from Adam and Eve, who were formed in Eden. God sent Noah, his family, and the animals, and they were saved from the flood (Genesis 6:13).
The animals mentioned in the book of Job were species from Eden: sheep, camels, oxen, donkeys (Job 1:3); spider (Job 8:14); jackals, ostriches (Job 30:29); lion (Job 38:39); raven (Job 38:41); wild goats , gazelles (Job 39:1); wild donkey, ass (Job 39:5); unicorn (Job 39:9); horse (Job 39:19); hawk (Job 39:26) and eagle (Job 39:27); and also Behemoth (equivalent to sauropods) (Job 40:15) and also Leviathan (Job 41:1) (equivalent to Kronosaurus ).
In the flood, the native species of Earth were discarded and replaced by more evolved species that came from Eden. No evolutionary fossil records of those who came on the ark with Noah have been found on Earth. The evidence of the flood lies in the disappearance of the Neanderthals, which occurred 26,000 years ago.
In the sediments left by the flood, well-preserved dinosaur carcasses are found in places called "fossil cemeteries." Petroleum and coal are derived from chemical processes and not fossil fuels, although chemical and fossil processes sometimes mix, giving the impression of being a single entity.
Evolutionism is based on the principle that species arose (macro-evolution) naturally on planet Earth, without the participation of God. Those who defend the macro-evolution of species are more inclined to deny God than to defend a theory. The theory of evolution of species does not explain the existence of the soul and spirit of human beings.
The genetic origin of human beings.
Researchers at the University of California concluded in 1986 that all human beings are descended from a woman who emerged in Africa more than 100,000 years ago and came to be called "Mitochondrial Eve." Other researchers concluded that approximately 60,000 years ago, a single Y chromosome, since the emergence of humankind on Earth, began to predominate and became known as "Y-chromosome Adam."
According to genetic studies, Adam and Eve did not meet; however, it was not Eve who emerged in Africa, but rather the daughter of man (a living soul) created on Earth in the image and likeness of God (Genesis 1:27). Adam and Eve (Genesis 2:7) were formed in Eden 66,000 years ago (See Chapter IV - Time in Biblical Chronology). This fact was recorded in human DNA through the mutation of the FOXP2 gene, one of the genes responsible for speech.
It can be understood from the study above that Seth, the third son of Adam and Eve, married a daughter of the men of Earth (a living soul), and it was from this union that mitochondrial Eve originated. The mitochondrial DNA of a woman is inherited exclusively from her mother and does not influence the Y chromosome of a man's DNA, which is transmitted only from father to son.
The Y chromosome originated "pure," perpetuated with Seth, and reached us through Noah. God sent Noah and his family to Earth, and they brought the genetic inheritance: "Y chromosome Adam" and "mitochondrial Eve."
The origin of post-diluvian peoples
Everything that was destroyed in Eden was restored on Earth. God brought from Eden: the waters, the souls, humankind, and the animals. Religion and science also came (Daniel 12:4). In truth, the culture of Eden is in the souls of men; it is common to hear the words "born with the gift," and this is observed in all human knowledge. The dead are being revived with the "knowledge of good and evil" and with the gifts that existed in the past, as can be understood through Revelation 20:5.
● Daniel 12:4 » But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
● Revelation 20:5 » The rest of the dead lived not until the thousand years should be finished. This is the first resurrection.
Noah's sons, and later ancient peoples, including the Hebrews, Sumerians, and Egyptians, were responsible for spreading the customs and geographical names that existed in Eden across the Earth. Assyria and the rivers Pishon , Gihon , Tigris, and Euphrates mentioned in Genesis 2:10 are references to Eden, not Earth.
Men were building a tower to reach Heaven (didn't they come from Eden?). God confused the languages of men, forcing them to scatter. Possibly the Tower of Babel was Göbekli. Tepe in Turkey, because it is the oldest construction and involved planetary motifs.
● Genesis 11:1 » And the whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
● Genesis 11:4 » And they said, Come, let us build us a city, and a tower, whose top `may reach' unto heaven, and let us make us a name; lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
From the flood to the beginning of the Christian era, twenty-four thousand years passed (a thousand years as a day). Scholars can only understand human culture through archaeological findings and cave paintings left by the descendants of Cain, but they cannot visualize the culture of Eden. The people of Eden were evolved, and this is reported in Revelation chapter 18 (verses 9 to 22). It is the missing link of humanity.
Scholars can trace human culture back to 12 or 13 thousand years ago, when agriculture was introduced, along with the use of sugar, rice, wheat, and bread making, grape cultivation, wine production, olive oil production, animal domestication, etc.
The image below shows the beginning of the settlement of the Earth.
Abraham
Abraham was 58 years old when Noah died, possibly influenced by the culture of Eden. Abraham was 75 years old when God sent him from Ur in Chaldea to Canaan and promised that in him all the families of the earth would be blessed (Genesis 12:3). Canaan is located east of the Mediterranean, and it was from there that Christianity developed in Europe and later in America. The disciples were forbidden to preach the word in Asia (Acts 16:6).
● Genesis 12:3 » and I will bless them that bless thee, and him that curseth thee will I curse: and in thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
● Acts 16:6 » And they went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden of the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia;
God made a covenant with Abram that his descendants (through Isaac and Ishmael) would occupy the land from the Nile River to the great Euphrates River (Genesis 15:18). The Euphrates River here is not the same as the one in Eden.
● Genesis 15:18 » In that day Jehovah made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:
God blessed Abram, but his descendants were enslaved for four hundred years (Genesis 15:13). This was the punishment God gave for the disobedience of the “ stars of heaven ” who followed the dragon (Revelation 12:4). They had to taste the poison of the ancient serpent.
● Genesis 15:13 » And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be sojourners in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
● Revelation 12:4 » And his tail draweth the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon standeth before the woman that is about to be delivered, that when she is delivered he may devour her child.
Abram went with Sarah to Egypt, where there was plenty of food, and was received by Pharaoh (Genesis 12:20). This happened before the birth of Isaac.
● Genesis 12:10 » And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was sore in the land.
Abraham was 100 years old when he had his son Isaac. Abraham died at 175 years old, Isaac died at 180 years old, and Jacob died at 147 years old. In chronological time, this should be multiplied by 24, as one day.
Jacob / Israel
Jacob had a vision of the ladder, where angels were ascending and descending (Genesis 28:12). Jacob went to the Land of Ur, in southern present-day Iraq. Jacob stayed with Laban, his uncle, and worked for fourteen years to have Leah and Rachel.
● Genesis 28:12 » And he dreamed. And behold, a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven. And behold, the angels of God ascending and descending on it.
● Genesis 28:13 » And, behold, Jehovah stood above it, and said, I am Jehovah, the God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac. The land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed.
Jacob had twelve sons with Leah, Rachel, and his two concubines Zilpah and Bilhah. Rachel died giving birth to Benjamin (Genesis 35:17), and this happened after the angel wrestled with Jacob and changed his name to Israel (Genesis 32:28). It is understood that Benjamin was the first Israelite. Benjamin was born a living soul, hosted an angel, and triggered the "end of death" mentioned in Romans 5:14. A human being cannot have two spirits; either they have the knowledge of good and evil, or they have the angel as their spirit.
● Genesis 32:28 » And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for thou hast striven with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
● Genesis 35:17 » And it came to pass, when she was in hard labor, that the midwife said unto her, Fear not; for now thou shalt have another son.
Paul wrote in Romans 5:14 that death reigned from Adam to Moses, meaning that when Moses was born in Egypt, death no longer reigned, opening the way for angels to once again dwell in men and begin the resurrection of the dead among the Gentiles.
● Romans 5:14 » Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the likeness of Adam's transgression, who is a figure of him that was to come.
● Revelation 20:5 » The rest of the dead lived not until the thousand years should be finished. This is the first resurrection.
Jacob had twelve sons. Joseph was sold by his brothers into slavery in Egypt, and he was the link that allowed the twelve tribes of Israel to move to Egypt for the same reason as Abraham: famine in the land.
From the time Jacob entered Egypt until the birth of Moses in 1680 BC, nothing is said in the Bible, but it was during this period that the pyramids and megalithic stone blocks were built on every continent with technology still unknown to mankind today. The Israelites were being afflicted in a foreign land during the time of these constructions.
The Nephilim (Giants) in antiquity
It has been mentioned that the Nephilim were angels who needed to inhabit living souls to care for God's creation on Earth. The Nephilim ceased to exist because the living souls were completely destroyed in the flood; God sent the flood and transferred creation to Earth with Noah. Noah had the "knowledge of good and evil" and prevented the angels from reigning over men. The angels returned to reign over men in ancient times during the time of Moses, when death no longer reigned, as stated in Genesis 6:4.
● Genesis 6:4 » The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons of God came unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them: the same were the mighty men that were of old, the men of renown.
In fact, the valiant men of renown who lived in ancient times, mentioned in Genesis 6:4, were descendants of Jacob who entered Egypt and were enslaved for four hundred years; chronologically speaking, they were all Nephilim. The Nephilim also included the peoples of the seven nations who lived in Canaan during the time of Moses.
In Egypt, the ruling classes had elongated heads. This was because, since there were no living souls to inhabit, the angels of the dragon's legion took refuge in bodies that possessed "knowledge of good and evil," even in animals.
The sphinx with the head of a man and the body of a lion may represent the Nephilim, because angels resided in living souls and in animals, since they too are living souls.
The smaller pyramids may have been built by the Israelites who were there. The sarcophagi, Egyptian sculptures, and hieroglyphs are found in the Valley of the Kings, not in the pyramids.
It is understood that the three largest pyramids in the Giza Valley were built before the flood. Researchers have concluded that these three pyramids were generators of energy. It can be said that these three pyramids were the gateway to celestial powers on Earth, and it was no coincidence that Moses and the Messiah (Matthew 2:15) appeared in Egypt.
Megalithic constructions demonstrate their power either through the strength of those who built them or through techniques that allowed for the melting or shaping of stone blocks using technology still unknown today. The Nephilim possessed these technologies.
● Matthew 2:15 » and was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt did I call my son.
Moses
Moses was given the mission to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. Now transformed into the lost sheep of Israel, they were as numerous as the " stars of the sky " (Deuteronomy 10:22). Moses was an angel and a servant of God (Revelation 15:3), and he was not alone in the mission given by God (Exodus 3:14). Moses poured out the plagues on Egypt, parted the Red Sea, and led the people through the desert for forty years, where they sought the promised land.
● Deuteronomy 10:22 » Thy fathers went down into Egypt with threescore and ten persons; and now Jehovah thy God hath made thee as the stars of heaven for multitude.
● Exodus 3:14 » And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
Joshua was one of the twelve chosen from among the tallest to spy out the land of Canaan; they saw the sons of Anak as giants. The sons of Anak appear in Numbers 13:33; they were one of the seven nations that lived in Canaan in the time of Moses.
● Numbers 13:33 » And there we saw the Nephilim, the sons of Anak, who come of the Nephilim: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
The Israelites spied out Canaan for forty days and returned grumbling, and as punishment they were given a year for each day they spied out the land, and these were the forty years they remained in the desert (Numbers 14:34). The forty years were sufficient for the Israelites to be educated within the Laws of Moses.
● Numbers 14:34 » After the number of the days in which ye spied out the land, even forty days, for every day a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my alienation.
Of those who left Egypt, only Joshua and Caleb entered Canaan (Numbers 14:38); the others were consumed because they did evil in the eyes of the Lord (Numbers 32:13). This generation paid a price for it; they had to enter a new existence because angels do not have death, as recorded in Jeremiah 18:6. The manna transformed the Israelites from giants into people of smaller physical stature.
● Numbers 32:13 » And Jehovah's anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander to and fro in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, that had done evil in the sight of Jehovah, was consumed.
● Numbers 14:38 » But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, remained alive of those men that went to spy out the land.
● Jeremiah 18:6 » O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith Jehovah. Behold, as the clay in the potter's hand, so are ye in my hand, O house of Israel.
With the end of death, the dragon's angels also came to reign over humankind; these were the seven nations of "giants" who lived in Canaan. The dragon's legion followed the Israelites from Egypt. The sons of Anak, like Goliath, who was defeated by David, were people of great stature, two meters or more in height. Goliath was 2.80 meters tall, which corresponds to six cubits and a span (1 Samuel 17:4). The Israelites were defeated many times by these peoples. On one occasion, the Philistines defeated the Israelites and took the Ark of the Covenant and placed it in the temple of Dagon ; on another, Samson married a Philistine woman and ended up dead along with many Philistines in the temple of Dagon .
Moses was unable to overcome the forces of evil and did not enter the Promised Land. All who came after Moses also failed to overcome the forces of evil. The Israelites defiled themselves with Canaanite women and their gods (Ezra 9:1).
● Ezra 9:1 » Now when these things were done, the princes drew near unto me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the peoples of the lands, `doing' according to their abominations, even of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites.
Genesis 6:3 was fulfilled in ancient times with Moses, who died at the age of 120, his body was buried, and the angel returned to God or entered a new existence. (See: The Lost Sheep of the House of Israel).
● Genesis 6:3 » And Jehovah said, My spirit shall not strive with man for ever, for that he also is flesh: yet shall his days be a hundred and twenty years.
It took God sending his Son to complete Moses' unfinished mission. While Moses was instructed to kill the enemies, the Son of God spoke, in parable, to let both grow together until the harvest (Matthew 13:30), and that was enough for the "stars of heaven" to obey the command given (Matthew 24:35).
● Matthew 13:30 » Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather up first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn.
Chapter IV
Time in biblical chronology
Time in biblical chronology
The biblical chronology was intended to record the "knowledge of good and evil" from Adam to Moses in Egypt. Man, created on the sixth day of creation (Genesis 1:27), appeared on Earth more than 100,000 years ago (according to archaeological data), and was not considered in the chronology because he was a "living soul."
In the text of Genesis 47:9, it is clear that the Hebrews lived much longer. Jacob tells Pharaoh that the time of his pilgrimage was 130 years, and that his days were few and evil. Isaac died at 180 years old and Jacob died at 147 years old; in chronological time, this should be multiplied by 24, as one day.
● Genesis 47:8 » And Pharaoh said unto Jacob, How many are the days of the years of thy life?
● Genesis 47:9 » And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage are a hundred and thirty years: few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and they have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.
The time reported in the chronology is not the same as that of men on Earth. One thousand years in chronological time corresponds to 24,000 years, one thousand years as a day (II Peter 3:8). To correct the time since Adam, it is necessary to multiply the time by 24, as a day, but we have a conflict: if we correct Adam's age by multiplying by 24, it arrives at 22,320 years. That is a lot by our standards, but if Adam had eaten from the fruit of the tree of life, he would be alive to this day. What allowed man to have a long life was cellular renewal. Jesus Christ lived seventy weeks multiplied by 24, equals 32.2 years.
● II Peter 3:8 » But forget not this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
It is necessary to multiply the chronological time by 24, therefore from Adam to the flood were 39,744 years, and from the flood to the beginning of the Christian era were 25,168 years, totaling 66,938 years to this day. The correction is consistent (calibrated) with: the formation of man in Eden (Genesis 2:19), when God gave speech to man (mutation of the speech gene, data from Genetics) which occurred 66,938 years ago, and the occurrence of the flood 27,194 years ago with the disappearance of the Neanderthals (data from Archaeology).
The thousand years (millennium)
The thousand years refers to the millennial reign of Christ along with the faithful who did not worship the beast (Revelation 20:4). The faithful were killed, but they were revived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years (twenty-four thousand years, a thousand years as one day). A thousand years is also the time that the faithful will reign with Christ (the second millennium, Revelation 20:6). The text in Revelation 20:4 speaks in the past tense, as does Revelation 20:5, while Revelation 20:6 speaks in the future tense, referring to the rapture as resurrection, but not the resurrection of the dead.
● Revelation 20:4 » And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and `I saw' the souls of them that had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God, and such as worshipped not the beast, neither his image, and received not the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand; and they lived, and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
● Revelation 20:5 » The rest of the dead lived not until the thousand years should be finished. This is the first resurrection.
● Revelation 20:6 » Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: over these the second death hath no power; but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
A thousand years was the time the dragon was imprisoned (Revelation 20:3), and it happened after the flood, when the fountains of the great deep burst forth (Genesis 7:11).
● Revelation 20:3 » and cast him into the abyss, and shut `it', and sealed `it' over him, that he should deceive the nations no more, until the thousand years should be finished: after this he must be loosed for a little time.
● Genesis 7:11 » In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
The Israelites remained in Egypt for 400 years (Genesis 15:13) and this was fulfilled when Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt. The Israelites remained in the desert for forty years before entering Canaan, when the walls of Jericho fell, an event that occurred around 1560 BC as measured by radiocarbon dating (*).

Chapter V
The mission of the Son of God
The mission of the Son of God
The seventy weeks
The mission of the Son of God was first recounted in Isaiah, which speaks of the coming of Jesus Christ to Earth.
● Isaiah 7:14 » Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
● Isaiah 9:6 » For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
● Isaiah 53:7 » He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he opened not his mouth; as a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is dumb, so he opened not his mouth.
● Isaiah 53:8 » By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who `among them' considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living for the transgression of my people to whom the stroke `was due'?
In Isaiah 53:8, it says: “And who can recount the span of his days?” The span of Jesus Christ's life was reported by the Angel Gabriel, and is written in Daniel 9 from verse 24 to verse 27, which speaks of the seventy weeks.
Jesus Christ came to forgive, not to punish. There are seventy times seven of forgiveness (Matthew 18:22) and seventy weeks of salvation (Daniel 9:24), and he came to restore the heavenly Jerusalem (Revelation 21:14).
● Matthew 18:21 » Then came Peter and said to him, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? until seven times?
● Matthew 18:22 » Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times; but, Until seventy times seven.
The order to restore and rebuild Jerusalem was not given to Nehemiah; it was fulfilled when the angel Gabriel spoke to Mary, and it was to restore and rebuild the heavenly Jerusalem that appears in Revelation 21:14. The Messiah came to save the “ stars of heaven ” that the dragon dragged after him (Revelation 12:4), represented by the lost sheep of the house of Israel (Matthew 18:11). The Son of God gathered the twelve disciples who, symbolically, are the foundations of the walls of the holy city, the heavenly Jerusalem, which needed to be restored.
● Revelation 21:14 » And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
● Revelation 12:4 » And his tail draweth the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon standeth before the woman that is about to be delivered, that when she is delivered he may devour her child.
● Matthew 18:11 » `For the Son of man came to save that which was lost.'
The seventy weeks are in chronological time and should be multiplied by 24, like a day (II Peter 3:8), coincidence or not, it is the verse itself. 70 weeks multiplied by 24 equals 32.2 years, and that was the time that Jesus Christ's mission on Earth lasted.
● II Peter 3:8 » But forget not this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
The seventy weeks were divided into three stages: from the moment the angel Gabriel spoke to Mary until the Anointed One, the Prince: seven weeks; plus 62 weeks until his death and one more week, after which, having died and risen, he made a firm covenant with many (Revelation 1:18) and put an end to sacrifice and offering.
● Daniel 9:24 » Seventy weeks are decreed upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy.
● Daniel 9:25 » Know therefore and discern, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the anointed one, the prince, shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: it shall be built again, with street and moat, even in troublous times.
● Daniel 9:26 » And after the threescore and two weeks shall the anointed one be cut off, and shall have nothing: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and even unto the end shall be war; desolations are determined.
● Daniel 9:27 » And he shall make a firm covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease; and upon the wing of abominations `shall come' one that maketh desolate; and even unto the full end, and that determined, shall `wrath' be poured out upon the desolate.
Calculation of Daniel's seventy weeks.
Seven weeks plus sixty-two weeks total sixty-nine weeks, multiplied by seven days of the week and multiplied by 24, as one day, totals 11,592 days, minus Mary's gestational period, because the order to restore was given to Mary. Let's consider nine months of thirty days, deduct 270 days, resulting in 11,322 days, which divided by 365.25 days results in 31 full years. The solar year has 365.25 days, no matter which calendar is used.
The calculation of Daniel's seventy weeks provides the precise date of Jesus' birth and death, and the end of the seventieth week of Jesus Christ's mission on Earth.
The following spreadsheet demonstrates this calculation. 2000 years were added to the date because the spreadsheet does not work with old dates.
We can see in the spreadsheet that Jesus Christ was killed on March 26, 0031 (Wednesday), at the age of 31, and the order to restore and rebuild Jerusalem was given on June 30th of the year -01 (minus one). Jesus was born at the beginning of spring in the Northern Hemisphere, on March 26th of the year zero, considering a gestational period of 270 days. The solar year has 365.25 days, and the year zero is included in the calculation.
The first seven-week period is equivalent to 3.22 years and goes from the order to restore to the anointed one. The seven weeks were completed on September 18th of the year 0002, when the boy Jesus was 2.5 years old and was in Egypt with his parents to escape Herod (Matthew 2:15). It can be understood that this happened out of respect for Mary, so that he could be weaned and there would be affection between mother and son. Seven weeks fulfill what is written in Genesis 3:22, which says: “Behold, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil.”
● Matthew 2:15 » and was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt did I call my son.
● Genesis 3:22 » And Jehovah God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil; and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever-
Herod died after a solar eclipse, on April 8th of the year four, when the boy Jesus was four years old and was able to return from Egypt with his parents (see: Agreements in the calculation of the seventy weeks).
Luke 3:23 states that Jesus Christ was about thirty years old when he began his mission. Jesus Christ began his mission at the age of 29, when, after his baptism, he gathered his disciples, and on the third day he turned water into wine in Cana of Galilee. On Passover, April 15, 2029, he drove out the money changers, according to John 2:13. A year later, Jesus Christ multiplied the loaves when he was 30 years old, and Passover on April 4, 2030, was approaching, according to John 6:4. The following year, Jesus Christ entered Jerusalem riding on a donkey for his last Passover with his disciples, according to John 11:55. Jesus Christ broke bread and served from the cup, calling this act the Last Supper in his memory. Jesus Christ was killed the following day, March 26, 2031, at the age of 31, not a day more or less. Jesus was killed on a Wednesday and resurrected three days later at the end of the Sabbath, and his body was not found in the tomb on the first day of the week, according to Matthew 28:1.
● John 2:13 » And the passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
● John 6:4 » Now the passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand.
● John 11:55 » Now the passover of the Jews was at hand: and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, to purify themselves.
● Luke 3:23 » And Jesus himself, when he began `to teach', was about thirty years of age, being the son (as was supposed) of Joseph, the `son' of Heli,
● Matthew 28:1 » Now late on the sabbath day, as it began to dawn toward the first `day' of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
Jesus Christ, after his death and resurrection, fulfilled another week of his mission on Earth. A week in chronological time corresponds to 168 days (7 x 24 = 168), but his mission does not end; it continues until the end with the help of the "Spirit of Truth" sent by God (John 16:13). In Acts 1:3 it says that the disciples saw Jesus Christ for forty days; in Acts 9:5 Jesus Christ appears to Saul on the road to Damascus; in Acts 10:14 Jesus Christ appears to Peter in Joppa ; in Revelation 1:18 he appears to John on the Island of Patmos ; and in Acts 7:55 Stephen sees Jesus Christ standing at the right hand of God.
● Acts 1:3 » To whom he also showed himself alive after his passion by many proofs, appearing unto them by the space of forty days, and speaking the things concerning the kingdom of God:
● Acts 9:5 » And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And he `said', I am Jesus whom thou persecutest:
● Acts 10:14 » But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common and unclean.
● Acts 7:55 » But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,
● Revelation 1:18 » and the Living one; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive for evermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades.
Revelation 12:5 recounts that God created a Son, a male child who will rule all nations with an iron rod, and that his Son was caught up to God and to his throne. It is understood from Daniel 12:1 that the Son of God, the Lamb, was the Archangel Michael himself, who defeated Satan and established eternal justice.
● Revelation 12:5 » And she was delivered of a son, a man child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and unto his throne.
● Daniel 12:1 » And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince who standeth for the children of thy people; and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
Jesus Christ, after fulfilling his mission, received all power in Heaven and on Earth and established eternal justice. The Son of God fulfilled the promise God made to Abraham, that through his descendants all the families of the Earth would be blessed (Genesis 28:14).
Agreements in the calculation of seventy weeks
The historian Flavius Josephus (37-100 AD ) wrote that Herod died after a lunar eclipse not long after Passover. Lunar eclipses are observed at night and are not a reliable reference point. The lunar eclipse pushed Herod's death back to 4 BC and has generated confusion regarding the date of Jesus' birth to this day. Josephus must be referring to the annular solar eclipse of April 8th, 4 AD, observed throughout the Roman Empire, which occurred after Passover on March 23rd, 4 AD. Herod died after April 8th, 4 AD, already out of his reign due to illness, now under the rule of his son. Herod Archelaus (Matthew 2:22).

On April 8, 2024, exactly 2020 years later, a total eclipse occurred in North America and serves as a point of comparison. The eclipse began in the Pacific, passed through Mexico, the USA, Canada, and ended in the Atlantic.

The baby Jesus was born on March 26th of the year zero (Sunday). The solar year is considered to be 365.25 days (365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and 46 seconds), therefore the year zero is counted for calculation purposes. Several eclipses in the year zero can be seen in the NASA link above.
When Jesus was two years old, he received a visit from the wise men from the east (Matthew 2:11). The aggravating factor was that Herod found out about it, and it was necessary to flee to Egypt and remain there until Herod's death.
The seven weeks (Daniel 9:25) were completed on October 2nd of the year 0002, when the boy Jesus was 2.5 years old and was in Egypt with his parents fleeing from Herod. Herod died. (already out of his reign, due to his illness) when the boy Jesus was four years old and was able to return from Egypt with his parents.
Jesus Christ, at the age of twelve, was found among the doctors.
Jesus Christ began his mission at the age of 29.
According to Luke 3:1, Jesus Christ began his mission in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar. Tiberius Caesar was Roman Emperor from September 18, 1914, to March 16, 1937; the fifteenth year of Tiberius Caesar's reign begins on September 17, 1928. Luke 3:23 states that Jesus Christ was about thirty years old when he began his mission. Jesus Christ began his mission at the age of 29, when, after his baptism, he gathered his disciples, and on the third day he turned water into wine in Cana of Galilee, and on Passover, April 15, 1929, he drove out the money changers, as described in John 2:13.
Passovers that Jesus Christ participated in with his disciples during his mission on Earth. Jewish Passover begins at sunset on the 15th of Nissan in the Hebrew (Lunar) calendar.

Luke 3:23 states that Jesus Christ was about thirty years old when he began his mission. Jesus Christ began his mission at the age of 29, when, after his baptism, he gathered his disciples, and on the third day he turned water into wine in Cana of Galilee, and on Passover, April 15, 1929, he drove out the money changers, as described in John 2:13.

The destruction of the Temple
Before beginning his mission, Jesus Christ was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the Devil (Matthew 4:10). Satan did not back down from his purpose and sealed his fate. Afterward, angels arrived and ministered to Jesus Christ.
Jesus knew he would be killed because the legion of the dragon (Revelation 12:9) surrounded him and sought to kill him. Judas Iscariot received thirty pieces of silver to betray Jesus Christ.
The Son of God was not welcomed among the Israelites of his generation, as can be seen when he quoted Jonah (Matthew 12:41). The Ninevites were cruel people and enemies of Israel.
In John 2:19, Jesus mentioned his death and resurrection after three days, and the disciples only understood when everything was fulfilled, and they saw that Jesus Christ was speaking of himself and not of the temple.
When Jesus Christ said that not one stone would be left upon another that would not be thrown down, he was not only referring to the Temple, but also to megalithic structures on every continent that were destroyed after his death. The pyramids were violated and lost their functionality.
Jesus Christ said in Matthew 24:34 that "this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened," referring to the destruction of the Second Temple in the year 70.
After Jesus Christ completed his mission (Daniel 9:26), what was said in Matthew 24:15 was fulfilled. The abomination of desolation was established after the completion of Jesus Christ's mission, and until the end there would be war and desolation.
The temple was destroyed in 70 AD, leaving only the Western Wall. In 132 AD, the Jews were killed in a rebellion led by Simon Bar Kokhba (a Zealot), and the rest were dispersed by the Roman army, only to be reunited after the creation of the state of Israel in 1948. In 135 AD, Hadrian, the Roman emperor, after the Jewish rebellion, changed the name of Judea to Palestine, a fact that continues to cause confusion to this day. The destruction of the temple was well documented by Flavius Josephus (37-100 AD ), but he was considered a traitor among the Jews because he aided the Romans.
In the time of Jesus Christ, Jewish society was divided into four groups: the Pharisees (who followed the Torah, were rabbis, and preached in synagogues), the Sadducees (who were priests, politicians, allied with the Romans, and persecuted and condemned Jesus Christ), the Essenes (who were hermits, dedicated to studies), and the Zealots (zealous, they opposed the Romans).
The doctrine of the Trinity
The Trinity is represented by the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The kingdom of God is unique, and the Father's will prevails, where the Holy Spirit connects people to God through Jesus Christ. It's like a network system oriented towards connection (prayers), as can be understood in John 14:6, John 14:20, John 10:30, and even Matthew 24:36.
The Holy Spirit is like the " stars of heaven ," which are now all under the command of the Son of God, as can be understood in John 17:10. The Holy Spirit is spoken of in the singular because there can be no division among the " stars of heaven "; they communicate virtually with each other in the same way that it is today when one is "online" on the internet, as can be understood in John 16:13.
The “ stars of heaven ” were divided into three groups of 144,000 angels. The first group was the third part of the “stars of heaven” that the dragon carried after him (Revelation 12:4), representing the lost sheep of the house of Israel whom Jesus Christ came to save; the second group, which the Lamb possessed under his command, were the 144,000 servants who follow the Lamb wherever he goes, and they appear in battle formation on Mount Zion before the flood, against the beast and the worshipers of the beast (Revelation 14:1); and the third group is the “Spirit of Truth,” who was sent by the Father after the ascension of the Son of God (John 16:13). The “Spirit of Truth” appears to Jacob in the vision of the ladder, where angels ascended and descended, and the top reached heaven, where God was (Genesis 28:12). Before the war in Heaven, there was a fourth group, but it was discarded and is not counted; these are the angels who were cast down with the dragon (Revelation 12:9).
The lost sheep of the house of Israel
The lost sheep of the house of Israel were a third of the “ stars of heaven ” that the dragon dragged after him (Revelation 12:4). The “ stars of heaven ” are numbered and belong to God. The dragon's legion was discarded and is not counted (Revelation 12:9).
The civilization of Eden was destroyed at Armageddon (Revelation 16:16) in an attempt to contain the power that the dragon gave to the beast (Revelation 13:4) and nearly extinguished the human race. God regretted having formed man in Eden, sent the flood, and transferred creation to Earth with Noah (Genesis 6:13).
Noah and his family came alive, possessing the knowledge of good and evil, and prevented the " stars of heaven " from ruling over mankind. Human beings cannot have two spirits; they either possess the knowledge of good and evil or they have an angel.
Moses appears with the Lamb in Revelation 15:3, and with them those who were slain and did not worship the beast or its image. The faithful were revived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years (Revelation 20:4 speaks in the past tense). Moses and the Lamb represented two-thirds of the “ stars of heaven ,” the other third the dragon dragged after itself.
God blessed Abram, but his descendants were enslaved for four hundred years (Genesis 15:13). This was the punishment God gave for the disobedience of the " stars of heaven " who followed the dragon; they had to taste the poison of the ancient serpent.
Jacob had twelve sons with Leah, Rachel, and his two concubines Zilpah and Bilhah. Rachel died in childbirth with Benjamin (Genesis 35:17), and this happened after the angel wrestled with Jacob and changed his name to Israel (Genesis 32:28).
It is understood that Benjamin was the first "sheep of the House of Israel." It is understood that Benjamin was born a living soul and hosted an angel, possibly representing the end of death as mentioned in Romans 5:14.
In Jeremiah 18:6 it became clear that the house of Israel were angels because they did not have death and could be reborn into a new existence after death. Genesis 6:3 fulfilled this with Moses because he was an angel, and angels are eternal.
Jesus Christ came to save the lost sheep of the house of Israel (Matthew 18:11). The Son of God gathered the twelve disciples who, symbolically, are the foundations of the walls of the holy city, the heavenly Jerusalem that needed to be restored (Revelation 21:14).
Jesus Christ summarized in a single commandment the laws adopted by Moses for the "lost sheep of the house of Israel": "Love one another as I have loved you," and made it clear that there can be no division among the angels. The angels symbolize the "blood" of Jesus Christ.
● Matthew 22:36 » Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?
● Matthew 22:37 » And he said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
● Matthew 22:38 » This is the great and first commandment.
● Matthew 22:39 » And a second like `unto it' is this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
● Matthew 22:40 » On these two commandments the whole law hangeth, and the prophets.
● John 14:20 » In that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
In Matthew 22:30 and John 14:20, Jesus Christ spoke to the disciples about the resurrection, referring to the rapture of the lost sheep of the House of Israel; these were angels, and angels do not die.
The commandment of baptism did not apply to the lost sheep of the House of Israel (Matthew 10:7) because they do not have death; they are angels, the " stars of heaven " whom Jesus Christ came to save within the Calvinist concept of salvation. The thief beside Jesus Christ on the cross was possibly from the House of Israel.
Jesus Christ told Peter that it was the Father who revealed it to him, and that this was because Moses was the servant of God, as mentioned in Revelation 15:3. It can be understood that Peter was Moses and Elijah, and they are the same ones who appeared at the Transfiguration when the Kingdom of God was manifested through Jesus Christ on Mount Hermon , as mentioned in Mark 9:1.
Before ascending to heaven, Jesus Christ chose Peter as his leader when he said, "Feed my sheep" (John 21:17), replacing Judas Iscariot , the son of perdition (John 17:12). Judas Iscariot was the one who, between the dragon and the Lamb, sided with the dragon and dragged down a third of the " stars of heaven " (Revelation 12:4), but he needed to prepare Peter for this mission, as mentioned in Luke 22:32.
Peter is among the lost sheep of the house of Israel, the 144,000 from all the tribes of the children of Israel who will be sealed in Revelation 7:4, and are responsible for gathering the church of Christ mentioned in Revelation 7:9, because Peter was given the key to heaven (Matthew 16:19) and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it (Matthew 16:18).
Peter has a mission to fulfill; those who worshipped the beast are being revived from the dead, but their names are not in the book of life, as mentioned in Revelation 13:8 and Revelation 17:8. Revelation 20:12 confirms the final judgment. Those who are waiting for the mark of the beast are mistaken; this event happened in the past (Revelation 13:8) and will not happen again.
In Daniel 7:25 and Daniel 12:7 it was prophesied that after a time, times, and half a time, and when they have finished destroying the power of the holy people, all these things will be fulfilled.
Revelation 12:6 says that the woman, after giving birth to her child, fled into the desert and was nourished for 1,260 days, and Revelation 12:14 says that the woman was sustained for a time, and times, and half a time, out of the serpent's sight (1 + 1260 + 0.5 = 1261.5). "Times" corresponds to 1260 days. The woman represents the 144,000 of the tribes of Israel who appear sealed in Revelation 7:4, and her children represent the church of Christ on Earth, mentioned in Revelation 7:9.
The 1261.5 days here are not marked by 24-hour days, as cited in II Peter 3:8. Jesus Christ, in Revelation 22:16, called himself the "morning star," and the days began to be counted by the transit of the morning star. Each time the morning star passes by the earth, a day is counted. The planet Venus passes by the Earth every 584 days on average; therefore, 1261.5 days counted from the birth of Jesus arrives on March 26, 2017. This was the time the woman was sustained by the "Spirit of Truth" mentioned in John 16:13. After that, the spirit of truth withdrew, and the "woman," she herself, will care for her seed, the church of Christ (Revelation 12:17).
The resurrection of the dead
The word resurrection is mentioned in two situations: in the rapture of the sheep of the house of Israel (Matthew 22:30), already discussed, and in the resurrection of the dead for the Gentiles who died with the "knowledge of good and evil" (Matthew 22:31).
In Eden, after Adam, man began to spread the spirit through procreation, and when women had sons or daughters, they were born with the "knowledge of good and evil." The aggravating factor was that when man descended into the grave, the spirit did not find living souls for a new existence; this was death. The dead only revived after the end of death, when children began to be born as living souls.
Romans 5:14 says that death reigned from Adam to Moses, and that is when men were able to be revived from death, just as angels were. Human beings cannot have two spirits; they either have the knowledge of good and evil or they have an angel as their spirit.
Revelation 20:4 mentions the persecution that occurred in Eden, before the flood, against those who were faithful to the Lamb, who did not worship the beast or its image and did not receive its mark on their foreheads or hands. The faithful were killed, but they were revived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years (twenty-four thousand years, a thousand years as one day). Revelation 20:4 speaks of the past where men were judged.
Those who worshiped the beast are being revived from the dead, and their names are not in the book of life, as cited in Revelation 13:8 and Revelation 17:8. The text in Daniel 12:2 also makes it clear that the dead have already been judged according to their works. Revelation 20:12 confirms the final judgment.
Jesus Christ is the example of resurrection from the dead, when He was born of Mary. He was the Lamb, the Son of God, who descended from Heaven and was revived in the person of the child Jesus, leaving the example of baptism for the Gentiles, and after death, the second death had no power over Him, because He rose from the dead, completed the seventieth week, and was taken up to heaven.
The following graph clearly shows a population increase after one thousand years. It is the "other dead" who are being revived from death.
The destruction of the Temple
Before beginning his mission, Jesus Christ was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the Devil (Matthew 4:10). Satan did not back down from his purpose and sealed his fate. Afterward, angels arrived and ministered to Jesus Christ.
● Matthew 4:1 » Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
● Matthew 4:10 » Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
● Matthew 4:11 » Then the devil leaveth him; and behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
Jesus knew he would be killed because the legion of the dragon (Revelation 12:9) surrounded him and sought to kill him. Judas Iscariot received thirty pieces of silver to betray Jesus Christ.
● Revelation 12:9 » And the great dragon was cast down, the old serpent, he that is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world; he was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him.
● John 7:19 » Did not Moses give you the law, and `yet' none of you doeth the law? Why seek ye to kill me?
● John 7:20 » The multitude answered, Thou hast a demon: who seeketh to kill thee?
● John 8:44 » Ye are of `your' father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and standeth 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 thereof.
The Son of God was not welcomed among the Israelites of his generation, as can be seen when he quoted Jonah (Matthew 12:41). The Ninevites were cruel people and enemies of Israel.
● Matthew 12:41 » The men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, a greater than Jonah is here.
In John 2:19, Jesus mentioned his death and resurrection after three days, and the disciples only understood when everything was fulfilled, and they saw that Jesus Christ was speaking of himself and not of the temple.
● John 2:19 » Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
When Jesus Christ said that not one stone would be left upon another that would not be thrown down, he was not only referring to the Temple, but also to megalithic structures on every continent that were destroyed after his death. The pyramids were violated and lost their functionality.
● Matthew 24:2 » But he answered and said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
Jesus Christ said in Matthew 24:34 that "this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened," referring to the destruction of the Second Temple in the year 70.
● John 17:10 » and all things that are mine are thine, and thine are mine: and I am glorified in them.
After Jesus Christ completed his mission (Daniel 9:26), what was said in Matthew 24:15 was fulfilled. The abomination of desolation was established after the completion of Jesus Christ's mission, and until the end there would be war and desolation.
● Daniel 9:26 » And after the threescore and two weeks shall the anointed one be cut off, and shall have nothing: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and even unto the end shall be war; desolations are determined.
● Matthew 24:15 » When therefore ye see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let him that readeth understand),
The temple was destroyed in 70 AD, leaving only the Western Wall. In 132 AD, the Jews were killed in a rebellion led by Simon Bar Kokhba (a Zealot), and the rest were dispersed by the Roman army, only to be reunited after the creation of the state of Israel in 1948. In 135 AD, Hadrian, the Roman emperor, after the Jewish rebellion, changed the name of Judea to Palestine, a fact that continues to cause confusion to this day.

● John 14:20 » In that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
● John 10:30 » I and the Father are one.
● Matthew 24:36 » But of that day and hour knoweth no one, not even the angels of heaven, neither the Son, but the Father only.
The Holy Spirit is like the " stars of heaven ," which are now all under the command of the Son of God, as can be understood in John 17:10. The Holy Spirit is spoken of in the singular because there can be no division among the " stars of heaven "; they communicate virtually with each other in the same way that it is today when one is "online" on the internet, as can be understood in John 16:13.

● John 16:13 » Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he shall guide you into all the truth: for he shall not speak from himself; but what things soever he shall hear, `these' shall he speak: and he shall declare unto you the things that are to come.

God regretted having formed man in Eden, sent the flood, and transferred creation to Earth with Noah (Genesis 6:13).

● Genesis 6:13 » And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

● Revelation 20:5 » The rest of the dead lived not until the thousand years should be finished. This is the first resurrection.
Moses appears with the Lamb in Revelation 15:3, and with them those who were slain and did not worship the beast or its image.

Jacob had twelve sons with Leah, Rachel, and his two concubines Zilpah and Bilhah. Rachel died in childbirth with Benjamin (Genesis 35:17), and this happened after the angel wrestled with Jacob and changed his name to Israel (Genesis 32:28).
● Genesis 32:28 » And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for thou hast striven with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
It is understood that Benjamin was the first "sheep of the House of Israel." It is understood that Benjamin was born a living soul and hosted an angel, possibly representing the end of death as mentioned in Romans 5:14.
● Romans 5:14 » Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the likeness of Adam's transgression, who is a figure of him that was to come.
In Jeremiah 18:6 it became clear that the house of Israel were angels because they did not have death and could be reborn into a new existence after death. Genesis 6:3 fulfilled this with Moses because he was an angel, and angels are eternal.

● Genesis 6:3 » And Jehovah said, My spirit shall not strive with man for ever, for that he also is flesh: yet shall his days be a hundred and twenty years.
Jesus Christ came to save the lost sheep of the house of Israel (Matthew 18:11). The Son of God gathered the twelve disciples who, symbolically, are the foundations of the walls of the holy city, the heavenly Jerusalem that needed to be restored (Revelation 21:14).

Jesus Christ summarized in a single commandment the laws adopted by Moses for the "lost sheep of the house of Israel": "Love one another as I have loved you," and made it clear that there can be no division among the angels. The angels symbolize the "blood" of Jesus Christ.

In Matthew 22:30 and John 14:20, Jesus Christ spoke to the disciples about the resurrection, referring to the rapture of the lost sheep of the House of Israel; these were angels, and angels do not die.
● Matthew 22:30 » For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as angels in heaven.
The commandment of baptism did not apply to the lost sheep of the House of Israel (Matthew 10:7) because they do not have death; they are angels, the " stars of heaven " whom Jesus Christ came to save within the Calvinist concept of salvation. The thief beside Jesus Christ on the cross was possibly from the House of Israel.
● Matthew 10:5 » These twelve Jesus sent forth, and charged them, saying, Go not into `any' way of the Gentiles, and enter not into any city of the Samaritans:
● Matthew 10:6 » but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
● Matthew 10:7 » And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Jesus Christ told Peter that it was the Father who revealed it to him, and that this was because Moses was the servant of God, as mentioned in Revelation 15:3. It can be understood that Peter was Moses and Elijah, and they are the same ones who appeared at the Transfiguration when the Kingdom of God was manifested through Jesus Christ on Mount Hermon , as mentioned in Mark 9:1.
● Matthew 16:17 » And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jonah: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father who is in heaven.
● Mark 9:1 » And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There are some here of them that stand `by', who shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God come with power.
● John 16:13 » Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he shall guide you into all the truth: for he shall not speak from himself; but what things soever he shall hear, `these' shall he speak: and he shall declare unto you the things that are to come.
● John 16:13 » Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he shall guide you into all the truth: for he shall not speak from himself; but what things soever he shall hear, `these' shall he speak: and he shall declare unto you the things that are to come.
● John 16:13 » Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he shall guide you into all the truth: for he shall not speak from himself; but what things soever he shall hear, `these' shall he speak: and he shall declare unto you the things that are to come.
Before ascending to heaven, Jesus Christ chose Peter as his leader when he said, "Feed my sheep" (John 21:17), replacing Judas Iscariot , the son of perdition (John 17:12). Judas Iscariot was the one who, between the dragon and the Lamb, sided with the dragon and dragged down a third of the " stars of heaven " (Revelation 12:4), but he needed to prepare Peter for this mission, as mentioned in Luke 22:32.
● John 21:14 » This is now the third time that Jesus was manifested to the disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.
● John 21:17 » He saith unto him the third time, Simon, `son' of John, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
● John 17:12 » While I was with them, I kept them in thy name which thou hast given me: and I guarded them, and not one of them perished, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
● Luke 22:31 » Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have you, that he might sift you as wheat:
● Luke 22:32 » but I made supplication for thee, that thy faith fail not; and do thou, when once thou hast turned again, establish thy brethren.
Peter is among the lost sheep of the house of Israel, the 144,000 from all the tribes of the children of Israel who will be sealed in Revelation 7:4, and are responsible for gathering the church of Christ mentioned in Revelation 7:9, because Peter was given the key to heaven (Matthew 16:19) and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it (Matthew 16:18).
● Matthew 16:18 » And I also say unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.
● Matthew 16:19 » I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
● Revelation 7:4 » And I heard the number of them that were sealed, a hundred and forty and four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of the children of Israel:
● Revelation 7:9 » After these things I saw, and behold, a great multitude, which no man could number, out of every nation and of `all' tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, arrayed in white robes, and palms in their hands;
Peter has a mission to fulfill; those who worshipped the beast are being revived from the dead, but their names are not in the book of life, as mentioned in Revelation 13:8 and Revelation 17:8. Revelation 20:12 confirms the final judgment. Those who are waiting for the mark of the beast are mistaken; this event happened in the past (Revelation 13:8) and will not happen again.
● Revelation 13:8 » And all that dwell on the earth shall worship him, `every one' whose name hath not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb that hath been slain.
● Revelation 17:8 » The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss, and to go into perdition. And they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, `they' whose name hath not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast, how that he was, and is not, and shall come.
● Revelation 20:12 » And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne; and books were opened: and another book was opened, which is `the book' of life: and the dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works.
● Revelation 20:15 » And if any was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.
In Daniel 7:25 and Daniel 12:7 it was prophesied that after a time, times, and half a time, and when they have finished destroying the power of the holy people, all these things will be fulfilled.
● Daniel 7:25 » And he shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High; and he shall think to change the times and the law; and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and half a time.
● Daniel 12:7 » And I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and a half; and when they have made an end of breaking in pieces the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
● Revelation 10:5 » And the angel that I saw standing upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his right hand to heaven,
● Revelation 10:6 » and sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created the heaven and the things that are therein, and the earth and the things that are therein, and the sea and the things that are therein, that there shall be delay no longer:
Revelation 12:6 says that the woman, after giving birth to her child, fled into the desert and was nourished for 1,260 days, and Revelation 12:14 says that the woman was sustained for a time, and times, and half a time, out of the serpent's sight (1 + 1260 + 0.5 = 1261.5). "Times" corresponds to 1260 days. The woman represents the 144,000 of the tribes of Israel who appear sealed in Revelation 7:4, and her children represent the church of Christ on Earth, mentioned in Revelation 7:9.
● Revelation 12:6 » And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that there they may nourish her a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
● Revelation 12:14 » And there were given to the woman the two wings of the great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness unto her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
The 1261.5 days here are not marked by 24-hour days, as cited in II Peter 3:8. Jesus Christ, in Revelation 22:16, called himself the "morning star," and the days began to be counted by the transit of the morning star. Each time the morning star passes by the earth, a day is counted. The planet Venus passes by the Earth every 584 days on average; therefore, 1261.5 days counted from the birth of Jesus arrives on March 26, 2017. This was the time the woman was sustained by the "Spirit of Truth" mentioned in John 16:13. After that, the spirit of truth withdrew, and the "woman," she herself, will care for her seed, the church of Christ (Revelation 12:17).
● Revelation 22:16 » I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things for the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright, the morning star.
● John 16:13 » Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he shall guide you into all the truth: for he shall not speak from himself; but what things soever he shall hear, `these' shall he speak: and he shall declare unto you the things that are to come.
● Revelation 12:17 » And the dragon waxed wroth with the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed, that keep the commandments of God, and hold the testimony of Jesus:
The resurrection of the dead
The word resurrection is mentioned in two situations: in the rapture of the sheep of the house of Israel (Matthew 22:30), already discussed, and in the resurrection of the dead for the Gentiles who died with the "knowledge of good and evil" (Matthew 22:31).
● Matthew 22:30 » For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as angels in heaven.
● Matthew 22:31 » But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,
● Matthew 22:32 » I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not `the God' of the dead, but of the living.
In Eden, after Adam, man began to spread the spirit through procreation, and when women had sons or daughters, they were born with the "knowledge of good and evil." The aggravating factor was that when man descended into the grave, the spirit did not find living souls for a new existence; this was death. The dead only revived after the end of death, when children began to be born as living souls.
Romans 5:14 says that death reigned from Adam to Moses, and that is when men were able to be revived from death, just as angels were. Human beings cannot have two spirits; they either have the knowledge of good and evil or they have an angel as their spirit.
● Romans 5:14 » Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the likeness of Adam's transgression, who is a figure of him that was to come.
Revelation 20:4 mentions the persecution that occurred in Eden, before the flood, against those who were faithful to the Lamb, who did not worship the beast or its image and did not receive its mark on their foreheads or hands. The faithful were killed, but they were revived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years (twenty-four thousand years, a thousand years as one day). Revelation 20:4 speaks of the past where men were judged.
● Revelation 20:4 » And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and `I saw' the souls of them that had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God, and such as worshipped not the beast, neither his image, and received not the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand; and they lived, and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
● Revelation 20:5 » The rest of the dead lived not until the thousand years should be finished. This is the first resurrection.
Those who worshiped the beast are being revived from the dead, and their names are not in the book of life, as cited in Revelation 13:8 and Revelation 17:8. The text in Daniel 12:2 also makes it clear that the dead have already been judged according to their works. Revelation 20:12 confirms the final judgment.
● Revelation 13:8 » And all that dwell on the earth shall worship him, `every one' whose name hath not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb that hath been slain.
● Revelation 17:8 » The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss, and to go into perdition. And they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, `they' whose name hath not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast, how that he was, and is not, and shall come.
● Daniel 12:2 » And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
● Revelation 20:12 » And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne; and books were opened: and another book was opened, which is `the book' of life: and the dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works.
Jesus Christ is the example of resurrection from the dead, when He was born of Mary. He was the Lamb, the Son of God, who descended from Heaven and was revived in the person of the child Jesus, leaving the example of baptism for the Gentiles, and after death, the second death had no power over Him, because He rose from the dead, completed the seventieth week, and was taken up to heaven.
The following graph clearly shows a population increase after one thousand years. It is the "other dead" who are being revived from death.

The commandment of baptism among the Gentiles.
It has been said that the commandment of baptism does not apply to the "lost sheep of the House of Israel" because they are the angels whom Jesus Christ came to save (Matthew 18:11), within the Calvinist concept of salvation.
● Matthew 18:11 » `For the Son of man came to save that which was lost.'
The doctrine of baptism is a covenant of salvation and represents the burial of the old man who has been revived from death (Revelation 20:5). Baptism also represents the renunciation of free will (Genesis 4:7).
● Revelation 20:5 » The rest of the dead lived not until the thousand years should be finished. This is the first resurrection.
● Genesis 4:7 » And Cain told Abel his brother. And it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
Jesus Christ set the example of baptism for the Gentiles when he was baptized by John the Baptist because he too possessed the “knowledge of good and evil.” Paul, like many Jews of his generation, was not a sheep of the House of Israel; they were Gentiles and were baptized because they had the “knowledge of good and evil.” The opportunity for salvation was given, but it is necessary to persevere to the end.
● Mark 16:16 » He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieveth shall be condemned.
● Matthew 24:13 » But he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved.
Jesus Christ came to his own people, but was not received among the Israelites of his generation (John 1:11). However, God's promise to the Jewish people is kept and will be fulfilled with the Gentiles before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes, as stated in Acts 2:21. Jesus Christ also prayed to the Father for the Gentiles (John 17:20).
● John 1:11 » He came unto his own, and they that were his own received him not.
● John 1:12 » But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, `even' to them that believe on his name:
● Acts 2:21 » And it shall be, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
● John 17:20 » Neither for these only do I pray, but for them also that believe on me through their word;
Religions on Earth
God made a covenant with Abram that his descendants (through Isaac and Ishmael) would occupy the land from the Nile River to the great Euphrates River (Genesis 15:18). The Jews are descendants of Isaac and the Arabs of Ishmael.
● Genesis 15:18 » In that day Jehovah made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:
King Nebuchadnezzar sought the interpretation of his dream from the magicians, enchanters, soothsayers, and Chaldeans (Daniel 2:2). Daniel gave an interpretation with two meanings. The first concerned his reign and the kingdoms that would succeed it. The second is destined to happen in the last days.
● Daniel 2:2 » Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the enchanters, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, to tell the king his dreams. So they came in and stood before the king.
The statue in Nebuchadnezzar's vision revealed to Daniel (Daniel 2:31), supported on feet of iron mixed with human seeds (Daniel 2:43), represents the religions on Earth, all rooted in the teachings of their founders, and this is being fulfilled in our days. The God of Heaven will raise up a kingdom that will never be destroyed (Daniel 2:44). It is a vision that will occur at the end of days (Daniel 2:28).
● Daniel 2:35 » Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken in pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing-floors; and the wind carried them away, so that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.
God has not revealed the secrets of the Bible, and the result is the diversity of religions, each with its own religious teachings. Many religious leaders behave like magicians, enchanters, and soothsayers (Daniel 2:2), and they do so with the aim of gaining prestige and money. There will be punishment for this (Matthew 7:23).
● Matthew 7:23 » And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
The evil represented by the beast and the dragon and their angels manifested itself soon after Noah's arrival. Ancient peoples inherited the belief in pagan gods, and these customs are present among humanity. The forces of evil work to annihilate the forces of good and conspire against the Son of God.
The second temple was destroyed in 70 AD, and in that location, after the death of Muhammad, a structure known as the Dome of the Rock was built. It is understood that Paul's prophecy to the Thessalonians (2 Thessalonians 2:4) is being fulfilled in our time.
● II Thessalonians 2:4 » he that opposeth and exalteth himself against all that is called God or that is worshipped; so that he sitteth in the temple of God, setting himself forth as God.
● II Thessalonians 2:8 » And then shall be revealed the lawless one, whom the Lord Jesus shall slay with the breath of his mouth, and bring to nought by the manifestation of his coming;
The three Abrahamic temples were built to unite Jews, Arabs, and Christians, but the forces of good do not unite with the forces of evil. The Abrahamic covenant was proposed to eliminate conflicts between the Abrahamic nations.
The return of the beast
After the war in Heaven, the defeated dragon relinquished his authority, his throne, and great power to a beast that rose from the sea (Revelation 13:4). The dragon was imprisoned, and it only took one angel to bind him, because he had given power to the beast. He imprisoned him for a thousand years in chronological time, equivalent to 24,000 years, a thousand years being like a day.
● Revelation 13:4 » and they worshipped the dragon, because he gave his authority unto the beast; and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? And who is able to war with him?
The thousand years begin with the flood when the fountains of the great deep burst forth, at which time an angel descends to Earth and binds the dragon in the depths of the Earth (Revelation 20:3).
● Revelation 20:3 » and cast him into the abyss, and shut `it', and sealed `it' over him, that he should deceive the nations no more, until the thousand years should be finished: after this he must be loosed for a little time.
The desolator was released after Jesus Christ completed the seventy weeks of His mission on Earth, which can be understood from Daniel 9:27 when it says, “And on the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate, even until the decreed destruction is poured out on the one who makes desolate.”
The two beasts are mentioned in six chapters of the book of Revelation (13, 14, 15, 16, 18, and 19). These six chapters recount events that took place in Eden before the flood, when the bowls of God's wrath were poured out on those who worshiped the beast and its image and received its mark on their foreheads or hands. The worshipers of the beast were gathered for a battle at a place called Armageddon (Revelation 16:16). The beast that rose from the earth and the false prophet were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur (Revelation 19:20).
● Revelation 16:16 » And they gathered them together into the place which is called in Hebrew Har-magedon.
● Revelation 19:20 » And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought the signs in his sight, wherewith he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast and them that worshipped his image: they two were cast alive into the lake of fire that burneth with brimstone:
Chapter 17 of the book of Revelation recounts the return of the beast. The beast that rose from the sea managed to escape the waters of the flood, remaining in the depths of the earth until the appearance of the eighth king (Revelation 17:11).
● Revelation 17:11 » And the beast that was, and is not, is himself also an eighth, and is of the seven; and he goeth into perdition.
The woman mentioned in Revelation 17:6 is the great city that reigns over the kings of the earth, and the beast that carries her has seven heads and ten horns (Revelation 17:17).
● Revelation 17:6 » And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I wondered with a great wonder.
● Revelation 17:7 » And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou wonder? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and the ten horns.
Those who are waiting for the mark of the beast are mistaken (the 666 chip came to confuse), this happened in the past and should not happen again, especially since everyone has already been enlightened through Revelation 13. The beast appeared and deceived many because it needs the power of the worship they are giving it, that is, they will "be amazed" as mentioned in Revelation 17:8.
● Revelation 17:8 » The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss, and to go into perdition. And they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, `they' whose name hath not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast, how that he was, and is not, and shall come.
The beast has seven heads, and each head is a mountain (Revelation 17:9 doesn't mention geography); these are the adornments, and they established themselves as seven queens through appearances, deceiving those who want to be deceived.
● Revelation 17:9 » Here is the mind that hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth:
● Revelation 17:18 » And the woman whom thou sawest is the great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
The ten horns are the powers (political powers) that the dragon gave to the beast, and they are cited as ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom (have not received a body), but will receive authority as kings for one hour along with the beast, the eighth king.
● Revelation 17:12 » And the ten horns that thou sawest are ten kings, who have received no kingdom as yet; but they receive authority as kings, with the beast, for one hour.
● Revelation 17:13 » These have one mind, and they give their power and authority unto the beast.
Revelation 17:16 makes it clear that the ten horns (ten kings) will turn against the beast and destroy it.
● Revelation 17:16 » And the ten horns which thou sawest, and the beast, these shall hate the harlot, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and shall burn her utterly with fire.
The fate of the beast is described in Revelation 20:10; it will be thrown into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur, where the beast that rose from the earth and the false prophet are also.
● Revelation 20:10 » And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where are also the beast and the false prophet; and they shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
The great tribulation
The image below is a representation, based on biblical texts, of what the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ (son of man) to Earth will be like and will mark the beginning of the great tribulation.

Wallpaper obtained from the internet.
Jesus Christ called himself the morning star because he represents the determined destruction that will be poured out on the desolator (Daniel 9:27). The determined destruction is the great and terrible day of the Lord mentioned in Joel 2:31.
● Daniel 9:27 » And he shall make a firm covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease; and upon the wing of abominations `shall come' one that maketh desolate; and even unto the full end, and that determined, shall `wrath' be poured out upon the desolate.
● Joel 2:31 » The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of Jehovah cometh.
In Revelation 22:16, Jesus Christ called himself the morning star; in Matthew 24:27, he will be seen from the east to the west; and finally, all the tribes of the earth will see the Son of Man on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
● Revelation 22:16 » I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things for the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright, the morning star.
● Matthew 24:27 » For as the lightning cometh forth from the east, and is seen even unto the west; so shall be the coming of the Son of man.
● Matthew 24:29 » But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
● Matthew 24:30 » and then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
● Matthew 24:31 » And he shall send forth his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Matthew 24:37 says that, just as happened in the flood, there will also be a close approach of the planet Venus to Earth. The Earth will be destroyed, not with water as happened in the flood, but with fire and brimstone as happened to Sodom and Gomorrah (Luke 17:29). The lake of fire and brimstone burns on Venus. This was also prophesied in Isaiah 2:19.
● Matthew 24:37 » And as `were' the days of Noah, so shall be the coming of the Son of man.
● Matthew 24:38 » For as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,
● Luke 17:29 » but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all:
● Luke 5:30 pm » after the same manner shall it be in the day that the Son of man is revealed.
● Isaiah 2:19 » And men shall go into the caves of the rocks, and into the holes of the earth, from before the terror of Jehovah, and from the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake mightily the earth.
The sun appeared over Sodom and Gomorrah in the time of Lot. It wasn't the sun, but the planet Venus, because that's where the lake of fire that burns with sulfur is located.
● Genesis 19:22 » Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do anything till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
● Genesis 19:23 » The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot came unto Zoar.
● Genesis 19:24 » Then Jehovah rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from Jehovah out of heaven;
The Rapture
The rapture of Christ's church will occur after the great tribulation. The word "rapture" does not appear in the Bible. Jesus Christ spoke of gathering the elect (Matthew 24:31), and Paul wrote that the dead will be resurrected incorruptible, and those who are alive on that day will be transformed in the twinkling of an eye, after the last trumpet (1 Corinthians 15:52).
● Matthew 24:31 » And he shall send forth his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
● I Corinthians 15:52 » in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
The rapture cannot be at the last trumpet as Paul spoke of in 1 Corinthians 15:52, because the last trumpet is the second death (Revelation 21:8). The rapture will be after the sixth seal and before the first trumpet. The first resurrection mentioned in Revelation 20:6 is the rapture of the church of Christ. Here it says that we will die, but the second death will have no power over us.
● Revelation 21:8 » But for the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part `shall be' in the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone; which is the second death.
● Revelation 20:5 » The rest of the dead lived not until the thousand years should be finished. This is the first resurrection.
The shortened days mentioned by Jesus Christ in Matthew 24:22 are the 1290 and 1335 days mentioned in Daniel 12:11, and are counted after the continual burnt offering is taken away, and are counted from the transit of the morning star across the earth. Thus, the 1290 days arrive on December 17, 2093, and the 1335 days arrive on November 27, 2165. Therefore, the days will be shortened.
● Matthew 24:22 » And except those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
● Daniel 12:11 » And from the time that the continual `burnt-offering' shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand and two hundred and ninety days.
● Daniel 12:12 » Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.
The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood during the great tribulation, as mentioned in Revelation 6:12, Joel 2:31, and Acts 2:20; this will happen before the great and terrible day of the Lord, which will be at the seventh and final trumpet.
● Revelation 6:12 » And I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the whole moon became as blood;
● Joel 2:31 » The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of Jehovah cometh.
● Acts 2:20 » The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the day of the Lord come, That great and notable `day'.
● Matthew 24:21 » for then shall be great tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever shall be.
In the image, the sun can be seen in darkness and the moon blood-red.
It will not be the moon that covers the sun as happens in a solar eclipse. It will be the planet Venus that covers the sun, shining like a sack of silicon. The approach of Venus will cause strong earthquakes and will remove mountains and islands from their places. It will be the great tribulation because everything will be destroyed; no building will remain standing. The Earth continues its rotation, but its tilt will become unstable, and men will see the sky roll up like a scroll, as can be understood through Revelation 6:14.
● Revelation 6:14 » And the heaven was removed as a scroll when it is rolled up; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
● Isaiah 2:19 » And men shall go into the caves of the rocks, and into the holes of the earth, from before the terror of Jehovah, and from the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake mightily the earth.
After opening the last of the seven seals, seven trumpets were given to the seven angels to destroy the Earth. But before the first trumpet was sounded, John saw four angels standing at the four corners of the Earth holding back the four winds of the earth, so that no wind would blow on the earth or on the sea or on any tree (Revelation 7:1), until the servants of God were sealed (Revelation 7:4).
● Revelation 7:1 » After his I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that no wind should blow on the earth, or on the sea, or upon any tree.
● Revelation 7:3 » saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we shall have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.
● Revelation 7:4 » And I heard the number of them that were sealed, a hundred and forty and four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of the children of Israel:
Revelation 7:9 makes it clear that the rapture of Christ's church will be after the sixth seal and before the first trumpet, but it will fulfill what is stated in Acts 2:21 and Joel 2:32.
● Revelation 7:9 » After these things I saw, and behold, a great multitude, which no man could number, out of every nation and of `all' tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, arrayed in white robes, and palms in their hands;
● Acts 2:21 » And it shall be, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
● Joel 2:32 » And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of Jehovah shall be delivered; for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be those that escape, as Jehovah hath said, and among the remnant those whom Jehovah doth call.
After the sixth seal, Venus and Earth will continue orbiting the Sun, but the collision of the planets will happen at the sixth trumpet when the four angels who are imprisoned in the great river Euphrates will be released (Revelation 9:14).
● Revelation 9:14 » one saying to the sixth angel that had one trumpet, Loose the four angels that are bound at the great river Euphrates.
● Revelation 9:14 » one saying to the sixth angel that had one trumpet, Loose the four angels that are bound at the great river Euphrates.
There will not be seven years of tribulation; the great and terrible day of the Lord will be at the seventh trumpet, as mentioned in Revelation 10:7 and Isaiah 2:19. However, the day and hour belong solely to the Father, as stated in Matthew 24:36.
● Revelation 10:7 » but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, then is finished they mystery of God, according to the good tidings which he declared to his servants the prophets.
● Matthew 24:36 » But of that day and hour knoweth no one, not even the angels of heaven, neither the Son, but the Father only.
A new heaven and a new earth
The civilization of Eden lasted for 40,000 years and was destroyed at Armageddon (Revelation 16:16). God sent Noah to Earth, and with him the species of animals that were in Eden. God sent the waters and prepared the conditions on Earth to accommodate the current overpopulation. He also sent souls, religion, science, and gifts, which came with the souls, and shortened the lifespan of men for this new reality.
The Earth is already reaching exhaustion and has become corrupted. There is already a new heaven and a new earth (Revelation 21:1). The Earth and Eden return to their formless and empty origins, as they were in the beginning, because the sea will no longer exist.
● Revelation 21:1 » And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth are passed away; and the sea is no more.
It is understood, as stated by the Lord Jesus Christ in Matthew 25:34, that mankind will occupy a new heaven and a new earth that has been prepared since the foundation of the world.
● Matthew 25:34 » Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
Revelation 20:6 clarifies that we had a past life, we died, we rose from the dead (Matthew 22:31), and now we will be caught up, but the second death will have no power over us, and we will be priests of God and of Christ and reign with Him for a thousand years (24,000 years, a thousand years as one day), meaning that we will reign in a physical body, therefore human life will continue in a transformed body without death.
● Revelation 20:6 » Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: over these the second death hath no power; but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
Chapter VI
The geological evidence of the flood.
The geological evidence of the flood.
Genesis 1:6 recounts that God created a firmament in the midst of the waters, separating the waters and with them the physical means of support. When it says that God separated the waters, it is referring to two planets, Earth and Eden. Then God gathered the waters that were under the sky and made dry land appear. It is understood that the gravitational force created was great enough to keep the waters under pressure and break the crust, allowing the landforms to rise.
● Genesis 1:6 » And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
Venus and Earth are rocky, twin planets, and have similar size and gravitational force, so they tend to occupy the same orbit around the Sun. It was necessary for God to create the luminaries in the firmament of the heavens "to separate the day from the night; for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years." It is understood that the luminaries were the Moon of Venus (Mercury) and the Moon of Earth, and this caused the planets to have independent orbits.

The origin of the floodwaters
If God separated the waters, He can also bring them together again. In the flood, God transferred the waters of Eden to Earth. Venus was entirely transformed into a lake that burns with sulfur because God destroyed it. Eden is the current planet Venus.
Genesis 7:11 recounts that all the fountains of the great deep burst forth and the windows of heaven were opened. If the windows of heaven were opened, then the waters came from space. It is understood that Earth and Eden remained side by side for forty days, transferring the waters. The gravitational pull of the planet Venus broke forth the fountains of the great deep.
There was an influx of water from space that enveloped the Earth in the upper atmosphere and was received on the ground in the form of rain for forty consecutive days. After forty days, the planets separated, causing the mantle to close, the fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven to shut up, as mentioned in Genesis 8:2.
As reported in Genesis 8:13, in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, on the first day of the month of Noah's life—understood to be in chronological time—the waters had settled in the oceans and the land was dry. The Earth's crust ruptured and the waters settled in the oceans, causing the crust to sink and the adjacent landforms to rise. If this had not happened, the Earth would be a planet entirely covered in water.
The increase in water volume
It is understood that the Earth's relief, before the flood, was aged by erosion and allowed human migration between continents. In the flood, the waters rose 15 cubits (7 meters) above the high mountains (Genesis 7:20). If we consider Everest as a reference among the high mountains, and considering that Everest is currently 8,848 meters high, due to the existence of marine sediments found at 7,800 meters altitude, it is presumed that it was 1,048 meters high before the flood (8,848 - 7,800). If the waters in 40 days of rain covered (fifteen cubits) above the high mountains, then the waters rose 1055 meters above sea level (1048 + 7). Everest rose after the flood and continues to rise 10 cm per year.
A rainfall of 1100 mm/m² of water fills a column of 1055 meters in 40 days (40 x 24 x 1100 mm = 1055 meters), and corresponds to an increase equivalent to 62.5% of the water that existed until then. With this volume of water, isostatic equilibrium raises the continents by 352 meters (1055/3.0), considering the average density of the continents to be 3.0 g/cm³.
The following table shows the relative share of the seas, which account for 70.8% of the Earth's surface, considering the average depth of the seas to be 3800 meters and the average height of the continents to be 838 meters.

● Genesis 7:11 » In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
There was an influx of water from space that enveloped the Earth in the upper atmosphere and was received on the ground in the form of rain for forty consecutive days. After forty days, the planets separated, causing the mantle to close, the fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven to shut up, as mentioned in Genesis 8:2.
● Genesis 8:2 » the fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;
As reported in Genesis 8:13, in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, on the first day of the month of Noah's life—understood to be in chronological time—the waters had settled in the oceans and the land was dry. The Earth's crust ruptured and the waters settled in the oceans, causing the crust to sink and the adjacent landforms to rise. If this had not happened, the Earth would be a planet entirely covered in water.
● Genesis 8:13 » And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dried.

Everest rose after the flood and continues to rise 10 cm per year.
● Genesis 7:19 » And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high mountains that were under the whole heaven were covered.
● Genesis 7:20 » Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.
A rainfall of 1100 mm/m² of water fills a column of 1055 meters in 40 days (40 x 24 x 1100 mm = 1055 meters), and corresponds to an increase equivalent to 62.5% of the water that existed until then.

Considering the average density of the continents to be 3.0 g/cm³, there should be a ratio of three parts water (75%) to one part land (25%). Considering that the landforms are on average 838 meters above sea level, then the proportion of land on the surface should be below 25%, closer to 20%, and not 29.2% (or 34.6% with the continental shelves) as it is currently. This is due to the accumulation of groundwater in the water table and artesian wells, making the average density of the continents less than 3.0 g/cm³.
The uplift of the continents
The gravitational attraction between the two planets ruptured the crust (Genesis 7:11) and formed tectonic plates, mainly under the oceans where the crust is thinner (5 to 10 km), and to a lesser extent under the continents where it is thicker (25 to 50 km).
In the map below, the rupture and leakage of magma are shown in red, and the displacement exposing older layers of the crust is shown in blue.
Source: http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/.
The Earth's crust, once fragmented, yielded to the pressure of the waters. The sinking of the crust beneath the oceans displaced the magma in an accommodating movement, causing the uplift of adjacent continents in a slow and continuous manner. In the Pacific, this process was responsible for the formation of the Andes, the Rocky Mountains, and the Himalayas. The Himalayas benefited from the collaboration of the Indian and Pacific Oceans. In Europe, it led to the formation of the Alps and the Pyrenees. In the South Atlantic, this process caused a westward tilt of the Paraná Basin (Brazil) and changed the course of the Tietê, Rio Grande, and Paranapanema rivers westward. Large quantities of marine sediments remain where the seabed once was. Vila Velha in Paraná, which was once the seabed, is now 1,012 meters above sea level.
In the map below, you can see the accumulation of water in the oceans and the continents very clearly delineated.
Source: http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/.
There were two contributing factors to the increased participation of the continents in the flood. The first contribution resulted from the rupture of the crust (tectonic plates), allowing the accumulation of water and the uplift of the terrain due to the isostatic effect. The second contribution came from the ejection of soil plates from Venus. This soil allowed the arrival of the plant diversity of Eden, and furthermore, created an inversion of the geological layer and fossil record on the planet, not of Earth, but of Eden on Earth.
Glaciation
Glaciation has always been present in Earth's geological history. The chart below shows temperatures over the last 50,000 years, obtained from ice cores from the GISP2 project (Greenland) and the Dome-C project (Antarctica). The black line represents the occurrence of the Great Flood 26,000 years ago.
Data obtained from: National Geophysical Data Center, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, US Department of Commerce,
It is understood that a portion of the climate record was lost, approximately 8,000 years, due to the warming resulting from the flood. The increased volume of ocean water allowed for the circulation of ocean currents, raising the temperature of the Arctic and Antarctic continents.
The image shows a sharp drop in temperature in the Northern Hemisphere that occurred 13,000 years ago; this climatic phenomenon is known as the " Younger Dryas ." The sudden drop in temperature in the Northern Hemisphere resulted in the extinction of 35 animal species, including mammoths, saber-toothed tigers, giant sloths, American horses, American lions, etc., and also caused the disappearance of the first group of humans on the American continent, known as the Clovis people. These species, as well as hunter-gatherers, had occupied the area for almost two thousand years when the glaciation occurred. This group had migrated across the Bering Strait. Today, the strait is submerged under 80 meters of water due to rising sea levels.
With the same intensity as the abrupt temperature drop, approximately a thousand years later there was a sudden warming, this time due to a meteorite explosion on the ice sheet. This explosion propagated large-scale heat waves throughout the Northern Hemisphere, and the temperature variation was felt from Venezuela ( Cariaco project ) to Antarctica (Dome C project). The discovery of the explosion was made by archaeologists from the University of Oregon, based on the discovery of abundant tiny diamond dust particles resulting from the high pressure and temperature generated by the explosion at several sites in North America. After the warming, planet Earth benefited from climatic stability, allowing for the population growth of today.
Final considerations
Jesus Christ has kept the secrets of the Bible until now, just as he did in Cana of Galilee when he turned water into wine.
The Bible behaves like a box, where fragile crystals are kept wrapped in paper with the aim of preserving the pieces and preventing them from breaking, so that at the right time the contents can be revealed.
These issues are being clarified through the book "God's Timing"
Time of God.
