Christ's Predestination

 

Christ's Predestination

 

Why did God foreordained Christ before the foundation of the world? In response to this question, the theory of predestination in theology implies two predestinations.

 

First, God created the world, created the Garden of Eden, and placed Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. They sinned against God (original sin) by eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which is God's forbidden command. However, God knew this was going to happen before the foundation of the world, so He foreordained Christ to save sinners.

Second, God pre-selected to save the saints before the foundation of the world. It is said that salvation is achieved not by human works, but by God's selection of human beings who are unable to save themselves, emphasizing God's mercy and sovereignty over salvation. Predestination is that by grace God has chosen some for eternal salvation, while others have been left to eternal judgment for their sins.

 

The God of the kingdom of God is the one and only God, Jehovah God. However, the archangel Lucifer (Satan) and the angels who follow him have left their position because they want to become like God. The rest of God has been broken. Therefore, God imprisoned them and how to save them, God Himself became the Christ and made a plan. This is called the predestination of Christ.

The word the predestination means to plan. What is the relationship between Jehovah God and Christ? Jehovah God is such that he is both the Christ and the God of the throne. Christ, the God of the throne, and the Holy Spirit are the theology established to understand God from the point of view of man as the Trinity. However, in the kingdom of God, there is only one Jehovah God, and Christ and the God of the throne also work in Jehovah God by the Holy Spirit.

 

The content of the predestination of Christ contains three main things.

It is about how God will imprison Satan and the angels who have sinned, save them, and finally judge those who have escaped salvation. It is Christ who plans and carries out all these things.

 

(Prisoning an angel who has sinned)

God created the material world to trap Satan and angels who have sinned. In Genesis 1:1, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” These words mean that the material world (the world) was separated from the kingdom of God. Heaven means the kingdom of God, and earth means the material world. That is, God cut off His light from the kingdom of God and separated the material world. When God separated the material world, the earth (the material world) was chaotic and empty, and darkness was over the deep.

God stripped the angels who sinned and imprisoned their spirits in the material world. However, in the material world, clothes were needed for the spirit to wear. The clothes become flesh made of clay. In Genesis 2:7, “The Lord God formed man from the dust of the earth, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living spirit (haihim).” The Hebrew word haiim means living beings. Jehovah God represents Christ. And Christ goes into the dust. That is, Christ became the first man. This man is Adam. Adam means man. He is a man before being separated into male and female.

God explains the story so far through the story of the Garden of Eden. In Genesis 2:8, “The Lord God planted a garden in Eden in the east, and put the man whom he had formed there.”

The Garden of Eden symbolizes the kingdom of God, and God connects the events that occurred in the kingdom of God to this earth, because he created the world and created the garden in a place called Eden in the East. It is like setting a stage somewhere in the world and telling the story of the kingdom of God.

The man (Christ: Adam) that Jehovah God had created was placed there. And in Genesis 2:21-22, “The Lord God put Adam into a deep sleep, and while he slept, he took one of his ribs and filled it with flesh, and the Lord God made a woman from the rib that he had taken from Adam, and brought her to Adam.”

The first man, Adam, was Christ. But he fell asleep. This means that he died physically, and the first man, Adam (Christ), returned to the kingdom of God. And then two people appear. Translated as one rib ("michal otau"), "michal otau" means one frame. The two are Adam (male) and Eve (female). Here, Adam is not Christ, but the spirit of a sinful angel entered into his body. The same goes for Eve. So whenever their descendants are born, the spirits of the angels who sinned enter the flesh. In other words, those who are born into this world become those who are imprisoned in the prison called fresh.

God gave Satan the right to be the ruler of the power of the air, over the spirits that have sinned. God put Satan's mark on their bodies. In Luke 4:6, when Jesus was tempted by the devil, the devil said:“He said, ‘All this authority and all its glory I will hand over to you; it has been handed over to me, and I am giving it to whomever wants it.” God hands over the control of the prison to Satan, and God tells those who are imprisoned (spirits), “How can they realize how vain and wrong it is for them to want to be like God, take off their fleshly body (die) and return to the kingdom of God? "

In Genesis 3:5, when the serpent (Satan) tempted Eve (the sinful angel),

“When you eat it, God knows that your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” Angels ate the forbidden fruit as Satan tempted them to become like God. (meaning they followed Satan). In Genesis 3:6, “And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.” That is why sin is the greed to become like God. Breaking the commandments is a sin, but when we speak of original sin, we do not break the commandments, but we have greed to become like God.

In Genesis 3:21, “And the Lord God made and clothed Adam and his wife with garments of skin.” Leather clothes have two meanings. It refers to the body made by Christ directly into the soil. That means the body must die. So they pass on their bodies to their descendants and die. That body has the mark of Satan. The second meaning of the leather garment is the sacrifice of an animal. This is also a being who must die before God. When people kill animals and offer sacrifices to God (repent and die to sin), they are freed from Satan's dominion. In Genesis 3:15, God promised a woman's offspring. Through the sacrifice, sinners looked to the descendants of the woman (Christ) and promised the way back to the kingdom of God. It is said to come back as dead as a sacrifice. In 3:24, the cherubim (angels) and the fiery sword (the Holy Spirit) that revolved mean judgment. It is a story about dying with a fire sword and returning to the Garden of Eden (the kingdom of God). If they die like a sacrificed animal through a sacrifice, the seed of promise will bring the spirit of the flesh to the kingdom of God.

 

(God's method of salvation for sinful spirits)

first, Through Adam, God passed on the promises and sacrifices for the descendants of the woman orally to his descendants. However, an incident occurred when Cain, the first child of Adam and Eve, killed her second son, Abel. Cain gave thanks to God for what he produced, and Abel offered a sacrifice of death to God. Abel's death symbolizes the death of Jesus Christ, but it shows that the human heart does not turn to God by offering his sacrifice, but in a direction to show his own righteousness. This continues into the days of Noah. From Adam to Noah, the oral promise of the offspring of a woman has disappeared from the memory of everyone. Only Noah and seven of his family believed the promise and continued to offer sacrifices.

second, After Noah, the descendants of three people (Sem Ham Japheth) increased, but people built the Tower of Babel to establish their own righteousness, resisted God, and even more forgot God's promises. God made a covenant with Abraham and promised salvation through circumcision and sacrifice. Sacrifice has the meaning of atonement, and circumcision has the meaning of looking at the seed of promise (Christ). And this covenant continued through Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, but Jacob's descendants went down to Egypt and came under the control of Pharaoh (Satan). And they all forget the meaning of circumcision. God chooses Moses to bring them out of Egypt and enters Canaan.

third, God gave the law through Moses, and through that law God made them discover Christ. If the people do not completely keep the law, God will judge their sins. So, through the sacrificial system, he was freed from sin,

Through the sacrifice, God made Christ hidden in the law to be discovered, but the people did not discover Christ. God used various methods of discipline for Israel and spoke through the prophets, but they did not listen to God's words.

fourth, Christ Himself was born again in the land of Israel in the flesh. he is jesus

Although Christ claims to be the Son of God, most Jews did not believe in Christ, and he was crucified to death for blasphemy. But he died on the cross as a substitute for the sins of all men. All who are united with him are that God will recognize him as dead and will save him. The cross is an expression of death. If people believe that they are united with Jesus and died on the cross, God will save them.

God waits until the Gentiles are filled. The Bible speaks of those who died with Jesus and those who were born again who were “first”. Today, many churches have been established and the number of members has increased. However, there are not many who die in union with Jesus Christ whom God wants. Those who have been baptized with water cannot be saved, but only those who have been baptized with the Holy Spirit are saved. Water baptism is a formal ceremony, but the baptism of the Holy Spirit is a gift from God to those who have been born again. Those who have received the baptism of the Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ, who is the horlogos, is present in the saints, and the spirit of the saints is also present in Christ.

fifth, In the end times, the Son of Perdition (the Antichrist) will appear and persecute Christians tremendously. The regenerated saints will be taken away by God before the son of perdition appears, and the remaining church members will be left with only two choices, whether they will be martyred to keep their faith or betray Jesus. This is Jacob's tribulation. This salvation does not mean the first, but the last. Israel, as opposed to Gentiles, refers to those who are not born again in the church.

sixth, It is a millennial kingdom. After the final tribulation is over, Jesus returns. The Bible says that this Second Coming will come in the clouds to the Mount of Olives in the sight of all. And the Bible says that Satan is captured and imprisoned in the abyss for a thousand years.

The meaning of these words is that Satan, who has ruled over all humans, will be captured by the power of Jesus Christ and thrown into the abyss, and the time will come when all people's hearts will understand God's Word.

The coming of Jesus Christ into every heart is what the Bible calls the Second Coming of Jesus. As Jesus returns and dwells in people's hearts, people will hear the words of Jesus Christ, understand them the moment they hear them, and receive Jesus and believe. Since there is no Satan, the Horlogos will be established in people's hearts, making the world truly free of evil.

However, Christ releases Satan again for a short time. So Satan again deceives people, and a spiritual war begins in which those who leave Jesus Christ appear among people. At this time, those who do not betray Jesus and remain and be saved are the ones who remain.

 

To summarize God's way of salvation, They tell of the Promise Seed and Sacrifice by word of mouth, By the circumcision they marked on the body, By the words of the Bible (the law), as the son of God, by the death of martyrdom,It is to save by the second coming of Jesus and by putting Satan into the abyss.

 

(Last Judgment, New Heaven and New Earth) Christ will judge the great white throne. At various stages, the unsaved will enter Hades, and God will judge those who enter it with the word of God and the fire of the Holy Spirit. And the material world will disappear completely, and those who are saved will find rest again in the kingdom of God.

All of these processes are the predestination (plan) of Christ, and that predestination is in progress today.
