Imagine, a story so fantastic that it almost decries belief. What story?,you may ask, and where did it come from and what is it about? The story is about God and man and this planet. Where it came from is the bible. It is about the Ultimate Being in the Universe who created all things, both visible and invisible. The Ultimate Being , God [The God of Abraham,Isaac,Jacob] created this Universe, Solar systems and Galaxies.
Before we go any further we must understand that good and evil were in existence before man was created on this planet. Thus , while in creating all things, there were those responsible for the control of the negative [evil], and those in charge of the positive[good]. So we find that God saw the light that it was good and separated the light from the darkness.
It also indicates the relevance of creating opposites,day and night,high and low,good and bad etc. the Name of this Planet originally was Eden, not just a local area where God decided to plant a garden.{Gen 2 vs 8 states that God planted a garden eastward in- Eden}, therefore the name of this earth is Eden.
All across the globe in various parts of this 'world', earth, we can see that this planet is indeed a form of Eden, a paradise if you will, however you could jump into the beautiful Amazon river in South America and either get eaten by piranhas or swallowed by Anacondas dependent on what river or location of the river one chooses to jump in. Beginning to see the Good and Evil present on the planet.? The presence of quicksand in the middle of some beautiful woods or the beauty of Lions or Tigers with those oh so sharp teeth. The relevance here [for instance-a battery] is in order for it to work or be useful, it must have both positive and negative connections.
Imagine then, that those who were in charge of the negative side [evil], and to ensure balance, became self centered and started their own interplanetary brand of intrigue and corruption that enmeshed these planets/stars, that God wiped out their planets, making them uninhabitable --the same as he did with Sodom and Gomorrah, while allowing some ,if not most to live. To understand the first book of the bible we must start at the very last book of the bible, Revelation. Rev chap 12 vs's 7-9, tells of a war in heaven between Michael and his angels[good guys], and Satan and his angels [bad guys], which led to Satan's ouster from heaven.
When in the beginning, when God created the holy[true]angels, Satan and his crew had begun to ferment resentment at the Most High God and tried to generate a rebellion that was squashed by the Almighty and his forces led by the Archangel Michael. God made the earth specifically for man and the challenge to Satan that he [Satan] would never stop man from loving God or turn man away from God. Satan's aim is to destroy man and/or this planet if he cannot succeed in his endeavors.
Thus did the devil come in the form of a serpent, and indeed ancient man saw these beings descend in ships shaped like serpents, indicating why the devil known as Satan, was depicted as a serpent,.Logical isn't it? After all he's also known as a serpent in Revelation. We also know that God made the planet for man to inhabit it. Isaiah chapter 45 vs 12 and vs 18 God states emphatically that he made the earth and formed man upon it and he did not do so in vain. One thing that Satan did not know or expect was that not all men that God created were destined to be residents of Eden [earth].
In Genesis chap 5 we find out that "Enoch walked with God and he was not; for God took him." the first known instance of a man not dying, even after God passed the sentence of death upon mankind for disobedience to him. The tree of Life and the tree of knowledge of good an evil, were not fruit trees or an apple tree, the key word in the latter tree being the tree of knowledge, key word knowledge. which was introduced to Eve.
Both esoteric and erotic knowledge to which Satan took advantage of her with. Why else would God tell her, from now on your going to give birth in pain and your desire will be to your husband? We also know that Enoch was not the only person to enter the heavenly realm,as told in the book of Kings, with Elijah going up to heaven by whirlwind. In the New Testament we are also told of those who will be chosen out of the residents of this earth [Eden] to enter into heaven to be able to do What God wants of them, to rule this planet, or do the inter galactic travel thing [who knows?]. Two scriptures come to mind here, Christ said that in his father's house there are many mansions, that he'd go to prepare a place for us-those who believe in him, and another that says " Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard nor the mind conceived what God has in store for his chosen.
Finally in Revelation the prophet saw new Jerusalem coming down from heaven, bear also in mind that the earth will be going through a renovation via construction -{World war III} and the final battle with the forces of darkness [negative] and the forces of light [positive] - God and Christ and the holy angels.
