Romans
1:20: For the invisible things of him from the
creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are
made. John
1:3 says; All things were made by him; and without him was not any
thing made that was made even his eternal power and Godhead; so that men who
don‘t believe are with out excuse. This will be
clearly seen in chapter 3 of this book. We know that there are many things in
the old scriptures of the law and prophets that point to Jesus Christ and his
first coming and also to his second coming. These things are often called
"types and shadows". Moses delivered the people of Israel from Egypt and the bondage of Pharaoh. He was a "type and
shadow" of Jesus Christ. Jesus has delivered us from the world system and
the bondage of Satan
into the kingdom of God. The children of Israel left Egypt with great riches. This is a "type and shadow" of
the body of Christ being delivered from this world system into the Kingdom of God
and its Glory in Him. What greater riches can a man have than eternal life and
oneness with God? Corinthians 2:9 Paul says: Eye
hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither has entered the heart of man, the things
which God has prepared for them that love him.
Many things are found in the old scriptures concerning Jesus Christ. Are there
no "types and shadows" of him in the natural creation? After all he
is the one for whom and by whom it
was created. The fact is, there are many things in the
creation that point to him and to God's plan for mankind in him. In this
book, we will cover some of these things in the natural creation that point to
his purposes in Jesus
Christ.
After the
great flood of evolution and its accompanying philosophies of the beast, there
was a huge rise in the "religion" of humanism and atheism. Men began
to believe that they were the authors of their own destinies. Some even claimed
that they were gods themselves. Others became atheists. They believed that the
creation came about by chance without any Creator or any reason. Psalm 14:1
says: The fool saith in his heart, there is no God. They are corrupt, they
have done abominable works. When we look at the universe and see the order
in it, we certainly have the right to agree with this. The atheist is a fool!
For instance, in chemistry there is the "Law of Combining
Proportions" that says that atoms combine in simple ratios to form
compounds. Two hydrogen atoms combine with one oxygen atom to form water.(H2O) One carbon combines with two oxygen atoms to form the
compound carbon dioxide.(CO2) These simple ratios exist for all compounds found
throughout the science of chemistry. Though each compound has its own distinct
ratio, the ratio for each compound never changes. All compounds combine in the
same simple ratios. If these combinations had come about haphazardly there
would have been no order in chemistry and the science of chemistry would never
have come about.
All the
laws of physics all have this same order. The laws of motion, inertia,
thermodynamics, and nuclear physics are so ordered that scientists have been
able to apply mathematical equations to them. In fact, if there had been no
patterns and order present in the universe the science of mathematics would
never have come about. Indeed, we would never have been sure of anything. Try
to imagine the statistical chance that all this order came about by chance. It
would more than likely take a computer 50 years to come up with the statistical
number that it could happen by chance. Because of this mathematical order that
God has placed in the creation, mankind has developed a great technology that
threatens to destroy them. Scientists were very careful to set up standards in
weights, measures and temperature so that their experiments could be preformed
under the same conditions each time. Because of this, they were able to compare
their results very carefully before drawing their conclusions and stating the
laws of physics and other sciences. Any scientist who
reported false results deliberately, lost his credibility with other
scientists. We can truthfully say that our technology was based strictly on TRUTH. This is why our
technological ability has far outstripped our social abilities. Because we
adhere to truth in the sciences but not in our sociological relationships, we
have become technical geniuses and sociological idiots. Jesus came and gave us
the laws of truth such as those found in Matthew chapter 5 and 6 so that we
would be able to develop a society of truth and peace but we pay no attention
to them, in fact most of the world thinks they are foolishness. Jesus said,
"do unto others as you would have them do unto you." If we did this there would be no murder because no one wants
to be murdered. There would be no adultery, lying, false witnessing, or thief’s
because no one wants these things to happen to them. There would be no children
without food or vaccines, because no one wants to see their children sick and
hungry. There would be more concern about feeding the hungry and caring for the
sick than there is about sending up space rockets. This is why I am so
skeptical of the new "one world order" presently in existence. How
can we conquer the universe and save ourselves, when we won't take care of each
other? Do you see why we are so advanced technically but still have terrorism
and war killing innocent people all over the world? Of course, the reason is
that we adhere strictly to truth in technological things but every one has
their own concept of truth in dealing with each other. The ultimate outcome for selfishness,
