THE BOOK OF oElrEaIS THE
PROPHECY AND 0U1DfANCE
OF ALL OTHER PROPHECY

(By n. NJ. Good, Grand Valley
As follower of Christ, now write
to tell you of the light that has come
to me out of His treasury. "things
new and DID," which we find signified
in the first chapters of Genesis, and
approved by all of the holy prophets.
Our purpose is to throw light on the
seven days of history as recorded in
Genesis, in which "God created the
heaven and the earth'
But let us remember that other
scripture written in much later date
throws a great light on the history
and prophecy of the first chapter Of
Genesis. We learn from the Apostle
John in the twelfth chapter of Reve-
lation that there was war in heaven,
and that God by the power of His
Christ "cast out into the earth" Satan
and all Of his angels with him. Gods
whole plan and purpose from first 10
last was in the beginning, and the
great battle having been won by tho
power Of the Lords Christ, the cres-
ton of Eden and all that God created
was another turn in the great conflict
with Satan in which God purposed TO
fully vindicate himself and all Of rs
own. As il is written, "The Lord Of
hosts hath sworn saying surely as i
have thought, 70 shall it come to pass:
and ~ I have parposed 20 shall it
stand.''
Isaiah "a: We find God has signi-
ed His whole plan and purpose in the
seven days as recorded in Genesis. His
plan and purpose through the seven
ages Of the world to come after the
eighth after the age of rest (the mil
'enium). 'The Revelation of Jesus
Christi teaches us that God through
the eve of the eternal Spirit, (before
the foundation of the world) foreknew
and foresaw the whole program of this
worlds history As time has revealed it
from age to age. Jesus was slain for
nur salvation and redemption in the
great plan and purpose of God "from
the foundation of the world" Rev,
1873. Paul brings out this truth clearly
as he reminds Timothy of the "grace
which was given us in Christ Jesus
before the world began Tim. IS.
God says through his prophet, ~
have even from the beginning declared
it to thee; before it came to pass |
showed it thee Isaiah, 4S. We read.
'ln the beginning God created the
heaven and the earth. And the earth
was without form and void; and dark
ness was upon the face of the deep.
And the Spirit of God moved upon the
face of the waters. And God sad.
Let there be light: and there was
light Now let us have an under
standing of the cause Of that darkness
ss God saw it upon the face of the
deep, as it WIS applied to the history
Of this world in the beginning, for all
scripture is in harmony with the one
plan and purpose Of God.
