In the beginning, GOD opened His eyes to the great expanse of eternity - SPOKE - & His
Word answered Him creating according to His will. There is an organization - Answers in
Genesis - which claims to interpret rightly GOD's word. They don't! But the title of their
group IS a true statement - the Answers ARE in Genesis. Genesis one does not only
relate to the RE-creation of the SURFACE of the earth around 3983 BC, but also to GOD's
spiritual creation & the beginning of this planet 6-12 billion years ago. As a spinning orb
spewed from the sun, earth was "void". The first day GOD revealed light through the "mist",
steam or clouds from cooling off. On the second day, He separated the two bodies of waters- the global flood of liquid water below covering the mantle, & the global clouds blocking out the sky. The third day He raised a global continent through the liquid waters to create dry land; vegitation sprang forth abundantly. Now, if we use the day equaling one billion years - then the first "day" that the earth was spinning around (probably faster then
it does today) only light refracted through the clouds to the depths of the one vast ocean.
For another billion years, these two global bodies of water were separated - perhaps by
a mile to ten miles of AIR similar to today"s "air". The third billion years, GOD initiated
the one global continent that started to bear plants & trees. That's all there was for that
one billion year day! On the fourth day, the clouds had dissipated completely to reveal
the "lights" in the sky. Now for the fourth billion years, vegetation could "see" the lights
& receive the rays of the sun directly. The fifth day, GOD created aquatic life & all fowls.
Another billion years of vegetation, sea life & birds rejoiced in GOD! Then on the sixth
day, as we know, GOD created all land creatures & MAN. ALL the "evolutionary" forms
of "man" fit into this billion years' sixth day. Adam was NOT amongst them. Lucifer
rebelled & asteroids & comets struck the earth. The energy of the sun diminished as it
contracted. Then the sun flared heating the earth causing its core to heatup & expand
& boiling the subterranean oceans to rise to the surface causing another global flood as
the mantle collapsed when the core cooled down after the sun flare ended. Cold solar
"air" from the sun's first contraction caused the global flood to freeze creating an ice
age. This global flood persisted until GOD re-created the surface of the earth -c. 3983 BC,
Ge.1:6-10. The rest of the story has been told by many people in many different ways,
but this is THE truth. The answers ARE in Genesis! ALL of homosapiens' history begins
in c.3983 BC!!! I am not going to explain pre-FLOOD (Noah's) history because I have not
studied enough on that. Around 2426 BC, after 120 years of working on his ark, Noah &
seven family members entered the ark.
Volcanic eruptions spewed ash into the sky. Rising magma & the sun-heated air caused
voluminous evaporation. The ash held the moisture until seven days after Noah entered
the ark; it was around Jan.17. Most people died from the high heat & pressure. Many
escaped to higher ground or into boats; the vast majority died within two weeks. It only
rained 40 days & 40 nights creating about 5% of the FLOOD. 95% of the FLOOD came
from underground oceans (fountains), superheated by rising magma, that were geysered or pushed up as parts of the one world continent collapsed. The configuration of the seven continents today were created at this time & when the FLOOD waters receded. Noah was in the ark about 376 days leaving it on Feb.27 - 2426 BC c.; the FLOOD waters remained on the earth only 150 days, Gen.7:24. Then Noah sacrificed one of all the clean animals - burnt offerings - to worship GOD. Since the ark became overgrown with vegitation within & without, Noah & his family lived in tents. On the eastern slope of Mt. Cudi, other histories relate that Noah built a city - Heshton, Nachuan, or Sirnak - & was its first mayor. They used the wood of the Ark to build houses. As more people were born, they moved away to other areas in the flood plain below. Nimrod is surely Sargon 1 who ruled most of the "urban" lands around 2327 BC- 2300 BC. Pharaoh escaped from his rule. Using a 30 year generation, Gen.10:21-25 indicates three - 1. Arphaxad to Shelah; 2. Shelah-Eber; 3. Eber-Peleg - 92 years, Gen.11:10. It was in Peleg's days that the Tower of Babel incident ("earth was divided") occurred - during Sargon 1's (Nimrod's) rule. Only two generations passed from Ham to Nimrod, who was "old" when he became Sargon 1 - 1. Ham to Cush -30 years; 2. Cush to Nimrod - 30; 3. Nimrod at age 60, when he became "a mighty warrior", Gen.10:8-12. Thus, c.2425 BC minus 120 years = c.2306 BC when the tower of Babel incident occurred, Gen.11:1-9. This was near the end of Sargon's rule in c. 2300 BC. The exact numbers are in Gen.11:10-19; Peleg was about 19 when Babel's tower fell.
Eber moved to Ebla in Syria where he was king for awhile. Fishermen travelled along north Africa to the canaries & were swept off-course to South America.
GOD is creating sons to rule with Him for eternity over eternity. God's Kingdom is - ETERNITY! God's sons will be - are - Gods. These born again sons will be Gods throughout eternity. And they will rule over eternity creating things beyond human imagination. God's family is the GOD kind, but ALL His sons (except Jesus) are humans now or dead in the earth. NO one has ascended to heaven except He who came down from heaven - Jesus the Christ who was the Word, John 3:13,16-17. We can only become God by being born spiritually into His Kingdom, John 3:6. We can only be born spiritually by being begotten by Him. We can only become begotten by obeying His commandments, Ex.20:1-17. They are the fulfillment of GRACE. When we obey His commandments, the holy spirit indwells within us empowering & encouraging us to obedience & to every good or righteous work. ALL righteous works exalt & protect the sanctity of life. Life builds up to healthy living & knowledge. Unrighteousness builds towards unhealthiness & death.

THIS WORLD IS MORTAL!
Most people realize that ALL mortals must die. This mortal body starts small; lasts about 100 years at the maximum; & then suddenly stops working. The dead body decomposes & is gone. No mortal has restored life to other mortals. Artificial means lets some humans live longer than expected or briefly restores bodily functions, but these mortals still die & are GONE. No one can, & NO one has brought the dead back to life. There is NO reincarnation that suppliments their mistakes & crimes with another lifetime. The mortal body is not meant to last very long - no matter who lies to you or explains otherwise.
There is a reason for mortality.
Contrary to your religion, reasonning, superstition, lies, & beliefs; there are NO aliens out there in space which are mortal. Most science fiction depicts alien life as MORTAL. But there is NO other mortal life out there in space. NO aliens are going to rescue mankind from their insane creations & their Satanic works. Man's intentions are evil continually. As history so clearly reveals, generation after generation of mortals exalted themselves as gods with a fantasy immortality that they believed in. I am not talking about ancient Roman gods. I am talking about modern religions. Most of the major denominations teach mortals transforming into immortals without barely a blink. This ability is given to even the most vile criminal, so that mortality is treated as immortality.
This view or reasonning of life is, of course, a lie to mollify or control the public mind - or the masses.
What if aliens - immortals - do exist out there in space? Is it possible that the aliens who rule over this planet & mankind are the two GODS that are spoken of in the Bible? Isn't it also possible that there is a titantic rebellion of one third of the angels created by these Gods & that these fallen angels or demons now rule over the hearts of men & inspire all the destruction & crime that exists in this pagan world? That IS what happened! That IS what is happenning. Lucifer rebelled climatically around 10,000 BC causing an ice age & darkness over the universe. Lucifer ascended to heaven; was cast down to earth; & became Satan the devil. He was in the Garden of Eden to tempt Adam & Eve, Ge.3:1-6. He tempted them to eternal death. That ONE chance was ALL Adam & Eve had. They chose rebellion until their deaths. They will be DEAD for eternity, Ge.3:17-19.
GOD, the Father, & GOD, the Son, offer salvation from the temptations of Satan. By accepting Jesus' death on the cross for our sins, we acknowledge these two GODS as the only GODS & reject calling or honoring Satan as God. By obeying the Commandments & the teachings of God, we please God; show our acceptance of Jesus' death for us; & worship God in righteousness. There is NO other way to worship & obey god. We must be living the Gospel in all of our life.
Will you receive eternal life? Repent of your sins today & obey His teachings. Believe & live the truth - not lies.
Read my other homepages for some doctrines, PROPHECY & Church history. And you can send for a FREE leaflet listing 49 of the 144 doctrines of the Church of God. There is only ONE way of life. Repent & believe for your own salvation & for material blessings in the Second Resurrection.
THE END:
God's Church is identified by His name & by their literal obedience to His Ten Commandments, Ex.20:1-17. Before Rev.6:8, which is world nuclear war, five billion people will have received a broadcast of this Gospel & about four billion people will have received literature of the Church (Bible, magazines, books, pamphlets, etc.) This Gospel goes to ALL the world & then the END, Mt.24:14. MANY of you will not have a chance to repent once Rev.6:8 arrives. TODAY, if you will hear, REPENT.
Is.6:13 - "But yet in it shall be a tenth...so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof." This meaning is clear. ALL that remains when the Lord Jesus finishes His judgement from Mt.Zion in Israel on this earth is 10% of the living from the beginning of the tribulation. This is the HOLY seed. So, we see TODAY is the day of salvation if we repent & do the works of God with our whole heart. The tribulation lasts seven years during which the Church, the true Christians, will be tested, Da.9:27. THERE IS NO RAPTURE!!! Those caught up in false doctrines, teachings, cults, & churches will have to suffer for God to prove their love for Him. Contrary to protestant & catholic teachings, this world is NOT vaporized in one day by man-made, natural nor supernatural means. 10% of mankind survives the insanity of man & of Satan!! Jesus steps down on the Mt. of Olives, Zc. 14:4; builds His Temple, Zc.6:12-13; & separates the living wicked from the righteous, Mt.25:31-46. These wicked are immediately burned to ashes in the Lake of Fire where the Beast & the false prophet were burned, Re.19:20; Ml.4:3. Then Jesus' 1000 year kingdom begins, Re.20:1-6. Repent & believe.
CLIFFORD CATTON, Apostle - Church of God, 96 Clinton Ave., Kingston, NY 12401-4936. E-mail: apostlecg@worthyemail.com & apostlecg@yahoo.com The purpose of man is to love - obey - GOD.
WHAT YOU CAN DO:
Every individual can repent of his/her sins & do righteousness. This means if you steal - stop stealing; if you commit adultery - stop fornicating; if you worship or use idols in worship - stop worshipping idols, Ga.5:16-21. Exalt life to benefit mankind. ALL kinds of perversion detract from life, Ga.5:22-26. Resist the lusts of this world. When asked, refuse drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, the sports of this world, pornography, most movies, just about every play, perverted artwork, most of its books & novels, etc. Refuse to cheat on your partner, your spouse, your governments. Build a healthy environment & love God. GOD will bless your righteousness. Have mercy on yourself & believe - obey - God's laws.
