Subject: Where
Do WE come From? What is the AGE of this EARTH. ?
Dear Friends in Christ across the World:
Before I get in to my message let me quote
one special Scripture regarding the "DIVINE
INSPIRATION of THE HOLY BIBLE". In 2nd Tim.3:16 Apostle Paul writes like this
"ALL SCRIPTURE is God BREATHED and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting
and training in righteousness, 17 says so that the man of God may be thoroughly
equipped for every good work" Also read Heb.1:1 and exodus 4:15.
I know many of my readers are True Christians
and some are just Nominal (Corporate) Christians and some are agnostics or Atheists
even though they come from Christian back ground. Some of you may be Muslims, Hindus or
Buddhists.... In any case, the God of my
Bible loves you.... I call His name "THE
LORD JESUS CHRIST". I believe
from the nucleus of the Core of my heart that he created the Heavens and the
Earth in Full unity with His Father and the Holy Spirit. Col.1-19 says, in short "He is the
expressed image of the INVISIBLE GOD. By Him all things were created in heaven
and on earth both visible and invisible and he holds everything together with
mathematical precision" (Pls. read it by yourself as I paraphrased it for
saving the space).
I learned from my Church, Bible Colleges and
from various Bible Scholars from different schools of thought about the origin
of man and the age of the earth over the years. And I believed the Evangelical / Pentecostal
fundamental Scholars' conclusion that where we (especially after the Noah's Flood)
we are the Children of NOAH through ADAM. Adam was created about 4,000 B.C. But, I was not fully satisfied until I find
myself through my own research.
So, for the last one month after I published
my articles regarding "The Second Coming of Jesus Christ and The
Endangered Species,The Human Race I went on a mission of research through
Secular Book Stores (Barnes & Noble), Christian Book Stores (Mustard seed),
Libraries including mine, and finally through the "The Work of
Josephus", the greatest Jewish Historian (AD 37 to 100 AD) who gave the
most authentic Picture of the Old Testament as well as the life of Christ and the
work of the Apostles..... translated by William Whinstone, a great Christian
Scholar. Josephus finally became a believer in their Messiah and the Bishop of Jerusalem
in the Christian Church. And also I went through "The Bible time
Line" (an atlas like huge book explaining Creation, dates of birth of each
patriarch, New testament time up to AD 100) authored by Dr. Thomas L. Robinson
who was a Biblical Scholar, Writer and Editor, a graduate of Princeton Theo. Seminary
who later obtained a Ph.D. from Haward University and who taught at Union Theo. Seminary
at Columbia University. Dr. Robinson
after giving different Chronologies, Biblical as well as Non-Biblical
Chronologies finally coming to the Conclusion that 4004 B.C as the Famous date
of creation. To save the space I am not
giving the other dates here. But I will give you the most accepted date of
creation in the Christendom (except liberals) prepared by Archbishop James
USSHER in the early Seventeenth Century and is often printed in the margin of
the King James Version of the Bible. The
above is my position.
How Arch Bishop Ussher did it? It was not
that difficult, but very tedious as he went through the O.T genealogies from
Abraham's birth back to Noah and back to Adam. Then Christ’s birth and back to
David tracing back to Judah, Jacob, Isaac, Abraham and then back to NOAH...... These
genealogies list the marvelously long lives of the 20 generations of the
Biblical Patriarchs-----10 before the great Flood and 10 after. They also give
the age at which each FATHERED the SON who succeeded him and the age at which
he died. The list accounts for 1946 years before the birth of Abraham and thus
would place the creation of ADAM in about 3941 B.C. We must know that Abraham's time the world was
so developed in Chaldean society in Mesopotamian Civilization and Kings and kingdoms
were there and they used to keep dates according to their calendar and History
shows that. I love History and geography and I can give details about each era
and kingdoms from Abraham to Jesus Christ and to this present day. We can go back to Bible History itself
connecting with Egyptian, Roman, Babylonian, Medo-Persian, Persian, Grecian, and
Assyrian empires and Sumerian Civilization. So, finding out Abraham’s date of Birth is
very easy. We may come up with about
50-75 years difference since different societies used different calendars.
Our Jesus Birth was placed at BC 5 or BC 6
because Herod the great who wanted to kill Jesus died in BC.4, during that time
our Baby Jesus was in Egypt. Jesus returns
from Egypt in BC 3. The Wise men visited Jerusalem / Herod and Jesus, the Baby
in Bethlehem in BC 5.... Herod orders
all male children from Bethlehem be killed in BC 5. So, we have to place Jesus's Birth at BC
5-6.... I do not know who started the
Christian Calendar .... Some book says, Jesus died in AD 30, some say, in AD
33 and some say, he started His earthly ministry after the Baptism in AD 27
(we must know Jewish RABI starts their ministry at the age of 30..... At the Baptism the AARONIC PRIESTHOOD (from
the Tribe of LEVI) was transferred to Jesus by God the Father..... He was from
the tribe of Judah. His High Priesthood
is explained in the book of Hebrews). Some
way the originators of the Christian Calendar omitted 5 to 6 years from
Christ's Birth. So, we have to add 6 more
years to 2005 and come up with 2011 in AD today. If Adam would have lived today he would have
been 6015 years old. Christ's line we have to trace through the GODLY line from
Adam to SETH to Enosh to Kenan to Mahalalel to JARED to ENOCH to Methusala to
Lamech to NOAH to Shem to ARPHAXAD to Shela to EBER (from this name came the word
... HEBREWS....) to Peleg to REU to Serug to NAHOR to TERAH the father of
ABRAHAM (the Father of all believers). This you can read from Gen.5:1 to 32 and Gen.10:22 to (Shem's line) 31 and Gen.11:10
to 26.
Then I did my own calculation from Abraham
back to Noah and back to Mr. ADAM. It was really tough for me, but the Holy Spirit
brought me to the conclusion after hours of researching (adding and subtracting,
etc.) that our present EARTH was created approximately 4004-5 BC. And Mr. Adam would
have been 6015 years old. Not as the
Secular Scientists come up with the theories that we human beings evolved from
Monkeys and Homosapiens after multiplied millions or trillions of years ago.
The ALMIGHTY God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob
and of Moses and NOAH by the WORD of HIS power CREATED everything that is seen
and unseen as I mentioned in my opening statement.... That person is known as
the LORD JESUS CHRIST. All theophanies
(pre-incarnate manifestation of God the Father) in the Old testament were
Christophanies (Pre-incarnate manifestation of Jesus Christ).... The Father
never left the throne.... But the Holy Spirit and Christ alone...... I am not going in detail.... Now I am going to get in to "Where we
came from after the FLOOD / after NOAH" through the Bible and through secular
History: Bear with me for a while.
There are many Atlases of World History and
Geography we can see in famous book stores like "Barnes and Noble, Jr")
prepared by great secular Scholars.... One of them I went through was
"Atlas of World History-Concise Edition" by Patrick K.O'brien, Institute
of Historical Research, University of London (The Chief Editor). It was surprising for me to see him using
dozens of Secular Scholars as Associate editors and contributors, but NOT EVEN
A SINGLE CHRISTIAN THEOLOGICAL SCHOLARS........ Out of 311 pages of 16 by 10
size book he used about 35 pages for EVOLUTIONARY theory..... A GARBAGE
theory.... I hated those pages, but read the rest of it where I was looking for
information. I started with Human Civilization
where in Agricultural society Started in 4000 B.C. after bringing his Evolutionary theory
of billions of years (stating Human beings started getting little bit of brain
after Homohabilis Period and started Iron age, Bronze age, Agriculture etc; and
such other Thrashy informations)..... Then onwards he is giving so much information
which can be compared to our Holy Bible.
He never mentioned the book "BIBLE" also except one chapter
towards the end regarding the "The spread of Religions including Christianity".....
Before he comes to this conclusion we have
everything in the Bible about the Civilization, Culture and certain primitive
inventions. Cain, the Son of Adam was a
FARMER (Read Gen.4:2b). Cain invented
tools out of Bronze and Iron. (Read
Gen.4:22). Cain built a City in his son
ENOCH's name (Note: This Enoch is separate from SETH's Godly line through Our
Lord came). Read Gen4:17 for City). This happened in the 4th millennium BC. So,
what is wrong with these God hater?.... Denying the Truth.... They were in Iron
Age and in Bronze Age and Engineering started there.... But Cain's generation being
EVIL God kicked him out with a special Mark on His Forehead (to prevent anybody
hurting him).... kicked out in to eastern part of the Garden of Eden, the present
day IRAQ, previously known as MESSOPOTAMIA around Euphratese and Tigris river. His descendants migrated to the Hill countries
of the east even up to North Western India (in the region of IDUS RIVER.... which
is in political Pakistan now), where in History we have studied (This atlas
also gives lots of information about HARAPPA / MOHAN-JA-DARO civilization) a great
civilization existed around River INDUS (SINDHU NADI) in the 4th millennium BC.
How that civilization ended?.
The Bible clearly explains it..... BY the FLOOD..... The UNIVERSAL FLOOD...... The
Atlas of World History could not tell that.... But I am going to prove it through the Bible. But
that Atlas gives us enough information about the civilizations / kingdoms / wars
/ transmigration of people between 4000 BC to 1800 BC and the early Dynasty in
2900 BC (around that time Nimrod, from the line of Noah's son HAM built the
city of Babylon), Trade routes and shipping etc... The Bible is full of
History. And the BIBLE PROPHECY is
"History written in Advance" as we know. So, we do not have to look
anywhere about "WHERE WE CAME FROM".....
Not only Christians but almost entire secular
history testify that fact that THERE WAS A UNIVERSAL FLOOD occurred when a
Righteous man was living. In the Bible his
name was "NOAH".... Noah was born to LAMECH in 2885 BC. In 2285 BC when Noah was 600 years old the
FLOOD CAME..... In short we read in the
Bible that his whole generation was corrupted with all kinds of sin....
We read in Gen.6 that Sons of God came to
daughters of men had children with them. Some of them were GIANTS. (There are
two interpretations for SONS of GOD...1. The fallen Angels. 2. The Godly line of SETH....
I take the second position because the Bible teaches that Angels are Sexless
beings and they are spirits who can appear in different forms, but without
reproductive ability..... The other position I take, because SATAN did not want
CHRIST to come through the Godly line of SETH and he wanted to destroy that
line. But the LORD preserved Seth's line through ONE FAMILY of NOAH out of 275
million people living on the earth.
Pls. read Gen.Ch.7 for "Judgment of the
Flood". I am going to quote only one passage out of it .Vs.11 and 12. NIV
says "That Day all the springs of the great deep BURST FORTH, and the
FLOOD GATES of the heavens were opened"...... 40 days and 40 nights it rained.....
The humans never saw rain before..... The water remained 150 days even above
the tallest mountain of Himalayas, the EVEREST peak, even 20 feet above that.
It was the real Judgment / the WRATH of GOD
falling on the JEHOVAH GOD rejecting, Idol worshippers, the most immoral people
of the ENTIRE WORLD. The Book
"Noah's Ark" puts it this way ."Sub-terranean waters GUSHED
through the mountains".... Vs.11.......
We have experienced in our own time "The TSUNAMI". It was an underground earthquake in the ocean
happened and we all know the aftermath..... Read the Bible.. But this special
Flood happened in every corner of the earth. Thousands of Tsunamis must have
happened on that day (600th year of Noah) destroying every civilization, every
living thing on the land and some in the ocean, putting so much sediments on
the mountains and the face of the earth, removing so many rivers (like Pishon
and Gihon around Garden of Eden), submerging many mountains, raising some
portions of the ocean and even tilting the Axis of the earth..... and so on....
This Flood is the reason why these so called God rejecting Archeologists and
scientists finding FOSSILS on the hills and among forests and coming up with
their STUPID theory ... by dating back everything to billions of years
ago......
My friends: That is lie.... Do not believe
it.... Darvin's Theory is GARBAGE.... GOD's
theory is RIGHT..... You can read
if you want the writings of JOSEPHUS, the great Jewish Historian....
I want to cut it short..... Noah and family
were saved.
Noah had 3 Sons and their wives .... Sons:
Shem, Ham and Japheth. After the Flood,
God made a covenant with NOAH that He would NEVER again destroy the earth and
the inhabitants by water and gave him a sign..... The RAIN BOW..... Read
Gen.9:12-16. It is known as NOAHic Covenant.
God blessed Noah's family again and commanded his children to spread out and
repopulate the earth.
Here how they spread and re-populated the
earth.
The Sons
of HAM:
Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan. Sons of Cush: Seba, Havila, Subtah, Raamahand
Sabteca. And Sons of Raama: Sheba and Dedan.... Cush was the Father of NIMROD).
These countries are identified as: Egypt (Misraim), Cush (Ethiopia), Put
(Libya), Land of Canaan (Palestine.), Africa, Lower part of Mesopotamia, Assyria,
Nineveh, Sidon, Philistines, Sodom and Gomorrah. Read Gen.10:1-20.
Sons of
SHEM:
Gen.10:21 Says, Shem was the Ancestor of EBER (from came the Word HEBREW) who
was the ancestor of ABRAHAM..... Shem's sons and their territory moved to east
from Mesopotamia to India and neighboring countries of Asia. Read from Vs.22 to 31. Historian Josephus puts this way: Page 36,
Book 1 Ch.6, No. 143.
"Shem, the third Son of Noah, had five sons,
who inhabited the land that began at Euphrates, and reached to the INDIAN
OCEAN; for Elam left behind him the ELAMITES, the Ancestors of the PERSIANS
(Iranians). Arphaxad who are called Chaldeans.
Abraham was a Chaldean. Joctan, one of the sons of HEBER (Abraham's ancestor)
had many sons and they settled on the bank of an INDIAN RIVER known then as
COPHEN and in part of Asia adjoining to it.... Josephus says. So, in short Shem’s children descendants moved
to all over India, Persia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, China and Neighboring areas
even up to Shri Lanka and North eastern part of Armenia and neighboring
Countries....
Indian population started moving through the
western sea cost up to Goa, Karnataka and finally to Kerala. Later on they started settling in Ganges
Valley..... then to East Coast.... All these people carried with them the Idols
and idol worship started from Mesopotamia where Abraham also was an Idol
worshipper. Some people call Abraham was a Hindu.... No single person started Hinduism....
different clans of Noah's children started worshipping different kinds of
created beings ..... Not only in India,
but every part of the world it so happened until Christianity came.... But even in Christianity there are Idol
worshippers as we all know. After Abraham believed God (Gen.15:6), God credited
him for RIGHTEOUSNESS..... That is the basis of our Christianity and
Judaism.....
Japheth
and his sons: Gen.10:2. Gomer,
Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.... and their children and their
children all moved to Cyria, Turkey, Greece, Russia, Germany, Around the areas of
Black sea, Cyprus, Spain and then eventually to all parts of Europe.....
Now we are in the 21st century living as
NOAH's children...... one family with so much of tension, fights, Racial
Discrimination and with so many manmade
religions..... Let me talk about the Color... God created Adam and Eve in the
Middle East and their color was "WHEAT COMPLEXION" which is the best
color people long to get it. Noah and
the 3 children had Wheat complexion. Jesus Christ was born in West Asia (Palestine)
and he had Wheat Complexion..... So, nobody can claim Jesus was Black, brown,
yellow or white. That is why God chose the Soil (dirt) from that Mesopotamian
area to create Adam, Noah and (Christ). How
the colors changed: The scientists say that as the people of Noah's generation
moved to HOTTER regions and having worked in the fields and as Nomads under
SCORCHING HEAT the color started fading..... In Africa 130-40o F.ht. temperature is normal.... And in India, especially the south eastern
regions close to equator the present temperature is between 100 to 125o
.... There you will find more dark skinned people. But in other parts of India like CASHMERE, PUNJAB,
Bombay , Goa, Karnataka and KERALA we will find very Light colored people also.
Kashmir people looks like Europeans.... Kashmireans and Punjabis in India
claims to be INDO-ARYANS.... Josephus also says.... The Atlas of World History
says so.....
People moved to Russia and Europe found
tolerable temperatures and very cold regions and those who inhabited those areas
became very Light Skinned..... and known as Whites.... Actually it is modified Wheat
complexion and in the western World, especially in America, the girls and boys
spending billions of dollars to TAN their color back to Wheat Complexion. It is
a 35 Billion dollar industry producing enough Skin Cancer. The Bible says
"Be satisfied with what you have".....
Now I am finished with this subject. And we came to know that we are the Product of
the Almighty God.... As I mentioned in
my previous articles that we are living in the most advanced stage of
civilization with OUTRIGHT REBELLION against God. A Sinful generation.... God
destroyed the world then with WATER. But now as He has given the "HISTORY
in ADVANCE" (the prophecies) that this present world WILL BE DESTROYED with
Fire...... He is a CONSUMING FIRE, the Bible declares..... His word will come
to Pass..... I explained those things in my previous articles.... This time NO
sea going Vessel.... THE ARK of NOAH..... Now the Ark is "THE LORD JESUS
CHRIST".... He is coming again, first for the GREATEST EVACUATION of HUMAN
RACE from the impending judgment..... That Evacuation is known as the
"RAPTURE" of all true believers in Christianity.... also known as “THE
BLESSED HOPE".....
Are you ready....?..... Are you sure that
"Your sins are forgiven" and your name is written in the LAMB's BOOK
of LIFE in Heaven?.... I am sure.... Just because of His SHED BLOOD.... and my
Faith in Christ alone and HIS effective GRACE....... Dear friends: If you are not sure, pls.
I beg of you to SURRENDER your life to CHRIST, the ALMIGHTY GOD>Confess your
sins to Him.... REPENT (Having genuine sorrow for the sins you committed)......
and in TEARS you cry out to God..... He will save you and the Father and the
Son together will send His Holy Spirit in to your heart instantly.... Your
burdens will be lifted up.... . Pls. do so.... JESUS loves you... I love you all in the LORD.....
I want to see you in Heaven....
If you miss the Rapture after having read
this message, pls. do not accept the DEVIL's Number "666".... Without
the number you have to go through all the persecutions including denial of food
and water, physical torture, concentration camps, death chamber, and you
imagine....... to get martyred to go to heaven.... Known as TRIBULATION SAINTS.... Ok. Do not ignore this Scriptural
Admonishion.... Because I love you I
wrote these things.....Take Heed...
God bless........ SHALOM.......
