An "age". Was, is, and is to come. Noahs flood was in this "age" The "age" that PERISHED is the WAS "age".
What I find weird is that no one has a problem with this age ending and the new one starting but the thought of "one before this" is just "too much".
Jeremiah 4:19 My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart maketh a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.
Cast down to earth. ****when an age is ended instead of an entire creation, (WHICH GOD SO EASILY COULD HAVE DONE, BUT OBVIOUSLY CHOSE NOT TO CAUSE HERE WE ARE), you have been working on, the souls all must go some where. I believe that this is why there was one heaven and one earth and then there were heavens and earth because of this period between then and when we are put into the flesh*****
Have you ever lost someone so dear that your heart seems to make a noise? You can't breath, while you are breathing, there is no where to go, the world has stopped and you can't start it, you want to go back and if you could you would? What would it take to stop your self from doing that very thing if you ACTUALLY could? How hard it must be......down to your very soul
Satan was Gods "highest, best made, closest". And when that kind of pain lets lose, well, nothing makes it through. Here is how God describes it
Jeremiah 4:20 Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is spoiled: suddenly are my tents spoiled, and my curtains in a moment.
SUDDENLY, for those who took notes on their "Noahs Flood" we can add this to our growing list of differences sound of trumpet, alarm of war, destruction upon destruction.
Gods decision made. *****dinosaurs died and I think continents separated******
Jeremiah 4:21 How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet?
Jeremiah 4:22 For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
FOR MY PEOPLE IS FOOLISH, THEY HAVE NOT KNOWN ME, THEY ARE SOTTISH CHILDREN AND THEY HAVE NONE UNDERSTANDING, THEY ARE WISE TO DO EVIL, BUT TO DO GOOD THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE
Does God know us? Foolish and stupid. Nothing in the Word of God can be more comforting. When you put that with "The Word of God is quick and powerful and sharper than a twoedged sword piercing even to the dividing asunder the soul and spirit the joints and marrow and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. You can fool some of the people some of the time YOU CAN FOOL GOD NEVER. Just remember this, there was a society there which most likely set your life beginnings here (God is just, not random) and your life here, will set your life there. Just because the gift of salvation is a Gift from God, doesn't mean that the righteous acts of the saints wont follow you because they will and it is all you can take with you, and the wedding garment is ....I digress
Jeremiah 4:23 I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.
We know from Isaiah 45:18? that He did not create the earth that way. God, 3 verses ago is telling us of DESTRUCTION upon DESTRUCTION, and now He beholds the earth and it is without form and void, and we know in the beginning of this age, the age we will be cast to earth, the earth was........
Jeremiah 4:24 I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.
*******I think this is the calming down of Gods anger, obviously been thinking about it a lot*********
Jeremiah 4:25 I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.
The earth is null and void, all the sons are in heaven like before the earth created. There are no animals, no birds, a wilderness, desolate, and in mourning, the heavens BLACK, no sun light, no light at all. Basically dead.
Jeremiah 4:26 I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger.
But what was it? It was a fruitful place, cities, Remember "my tents" spoiled, my curtains, in a moment, you know Gods tents here on earth, the place He calls His. He destroyed it all.
Jeremiah 4:27 For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end.
How do you kill all that you have loved? You find a new way. You give everyone another chance. A chance of their very own. Some will not even need but to be conceived for a moment, they and their hearts, there is no question, they do not need to live in this flesh, they do not need to be tested at all. If you ponder this for a while, much about this life will become very clear. All the whys and why me ,s. Remember God is Just. And we have free will. And the only lives He gets involved in are the elects because they already proved themselves in the first age and God will move them about as He sees fit. Remember the tower of siloam? Were they any bigger sinners? No, earth life happens, freewill must be freewill. But God is Just. He will recompense. I digress alot
Jeremiah 4:28 For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black; because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it.
Black, ask anyone what happens when the earths temp changes one degree. THE HEAVENS BLACK. Not Noahs flood.
I BEHELD the earth, and lo, it was without form and void. Remember the 3 and 4 verses before. This is not random. There is NO MAN, no bird, no boat. EVERY THING has been in the path of the LORDS anger. The whole land is desolate, this age has come to an end yet not a full end. The earth will mourn, the heavens will be black.
