From the eternal record of humankind: in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

Foreword

Mystery of Life Itself

Humans—what are humans? The answer is that humans are incredible and precious beings that God created in His own image and in His own likeness. Humankind has changed the course of history, the ages, and the very program and purpose of the dark powers of the universe. These dark powers affect the life of each human being on this planet. It is no wonder, then, that they want to cover in mystery all their warfare against God and humankind. God will not allow them to win the war.

Writing to Christian fellowship meetings, the apostle Paul inspiringly wrote in the Word of God, which is also the eternal record of humankind, as follows: And when I came to you brothers, I did not come with excellent speech of man’s wisdom, declaring to you the testimony of God. For I decided not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ, and him having been crucified. And I stood before you in weakness, and fear, and much trembling. And my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

Nevertheless, we speak wisdom among those who are mature. We speak not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, who come to nothing; we speak, rather, the wisdom of God in mysteries, even the hidden wisdom that God ordained before the world was to our glory. None of the princes of this world knew that hidden wisdom, for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. But, as it is written, no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no human heart has grasped the things that God has prepared for those who love Him. But God has revealed these things to us by way of His Spirit, for the Spirit searches all things—yes, He searches the deep things of God. For who among us knows the things inside a human being except for the spirit within a human being? So also no one has known the things of God except the Spirit from God. Now we have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit that is of God, so that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

These are the very things I am writing to you about; I write not in the words that I choose from my own wisdom but in the words that the Holy Spirit chooses and teaches. He compares spiritual things with spiritual things (scriptural words with scriptural words), as written in the eternal record. To quote the final authority on this last statement, These Words that I speak to you, they are Spirit and they are Life.

With all confidence then, we can read and compare all Scripture, knowing we are learning from the Lord, who has all power in heaven and earth! But the natural person does not believe nor receive these teachings of the Spirit of God, because they are foolishness to such a person. Neither can such a person know them, because these truths are spiritually discerned. But a person who is spiritual carefully examines these things judiciously. We who have the mind of Christ now begin to open the mysteries.

Time in a Great Mystery

The great mystery of humankind is revealed to us as a function of time! Everything we know about humankind is revealed within certain and specified times. We define these as areas of time, as subdivisions of infinite time, which is eternity. Within each area there are divisions called administrations.

Time Area 1

Time area 1 we refer to as pre-beginning. Everything we know about ourselves has a beginning and also an end on this earth, when we think about life. However, time without us existed unending before humankind was created; we call this pre-human time time area 1. We have an account of great events that took place during that area, given to us in the book of Job. Job lived in ancient times, and his book, inspired of God, is part of the written eternal record of humankind that we call the Word of God or Holy Bible. This account is now presented from the eternal record:

"Then the Lord answered job out of the whirlwind, and said, who is this who speaks words not based on knowledge of the facts? Buckle up like a man; for I will demand answers of you. Where were you when I conceived the design of the foundations of the earth? Declare it if you have understanding of the truth Who designed the dimensions of it if you know? Or who was able measure it? Where are the foundations of it anchored? Or who laid the Corners of it? When the Shining Princes sang together; and all the sons of God shouted with joy?" Now we must refer to time again, because God is speaking of time before humankind was created and not time area 2, when Job’s ancestor, Adam, was created. This becomes a great mystery, and we have the answer in the eternal record if we examine it carefully. Translations from the original documents of the eternal record can be misleading if not done carefully. For example, I refer to the word stars in the preceding passage. In the original Hebrew dictionary, the word stars is translated as shining princes. The inferred meaning is that these princes were considered to be in a special relationship like that of sons to a father. (Adam himself is referred to as a son of God.) It is quite evident that Adam was created and not born. In contrast, Jesus, the first begotten Son of God, was born and not created.

Sons of Adam could not possibly exist before Adam himself did. This makes the mystery clear that the creation of earth happened at the beginning of time area 2. Now we know that before the earth was created, there were other beings created by God—in this case, the shining princes! This exactly agrees with the first verse of the creation record as follows: "In the beginning God created the heaven: then the earth (emphasis added). Therefore, the beginning must be a dividing line between time areas 1 and 2. And so it is, as we see in verse two: And the earth had no form, and it was empty."

This brings up another mystery; why would God create an earth that was without form and empty? The answer is that God created heaven first, then earth, and then humankind! Some of these shining princes that existed before humankind became evil. Satan, for example, was the first to sin, and other angelic beings followed him into sin, thereby becoming enemies of God and humankind.

Something must have happened to make God’s creation without form and empty. This agrees perfectly with the eternal record given by the Lord Jesus Christ in the New Testament: I saw Satan fall from heaven like lightning. Now we know how the earth became formless and empty, and darkness was upon the face of the deep waters. Satan and some of the shining princes are now the powers of darkness. This darkness is the domain of the Devil. Darkness, which is also a symbol of spiritual blindness, is the opposite of light and truth. For by Him (God the Son, the living Word), were all things created that are in heaven and in earth, visible and invisible, whether they are thrones or dominions or principalities or powers: all things were created by and for Christ. He existed before all other things, and by Him all things are sustained in their places.

We know these powers were created long before the earth was and that some followed Satan into sin and darkness. Satan was found after his fall, in the garden of Eden, as the serpent, the tempter of Eve and Adam. He was and is the Prince of the Power of the Air, the Destroyer; he is the Enemy of God and of humankind.

We can easily confirm these truths from the eternal record in the New Testament: "And you [you means all Christians, including us today], being dead in your sins and the carnality of your body: God
