YHWH Himself tells us about His own creation by God the
Father.

Isaiah 43:10 Ye [are] my witnesses, saith the LORD (YHWH), and my
servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and
understand that I [am] he: before me there was no God formed, neither
shall there be after me.

The above verse contains a mystery within a mystery. It
relates to us that someone formed or created YHWH – the one
and only God of the earth. Yet, we will find later that God (The
Father) created another being earlier than YHWH! We will
reconcile the second mystery, before we finish this writing.

Isaiah 43:10 also informs us that God the Father does not intend
to create Sons of God in the future. It was necessary to begin
with created Sons of God. However, the desired result is
begotten Sons of God; and the human process is best for mass-
producing Sons of God. The human process allows for
continually re-programming the unique spirit, which seems
impossible with created spirit beings.

However, some will object to the creation of YHWH, citing the
following passage that speaks of Melchisedec:

Hebrews 7:3 Without father, without mother, without descent, having
neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of
God; abideth a priest continually.

Hebrews 7:3 informs us that Melchisedec was the created Son
of God: YHWH who manifested Himself in the flesh in ancient
times! The author of Hebrews tells us that Melchisedec was a
made being – He was not born into existence. God, the Father,
created YHWH before the beginning of time. Time only began
after YHWH created our solar system, the clock of the
heavens. Therefore, one could not point to a specific day of His
creation! No one wrote down when He came into existence.

Therefore, the Jews would be unable to find the Christ’s
ancestry record for priestly validation. They would not find the
name of His mother or the name of His father in their records
and yet He was a priest! They would not find any recorded
descendants in the priestly line for the Messiah, yet He was a
priest, as Melchisedec, and continued to be a priest as the
Christ!

Beyond all that, Yeshua the Christ – Melchisedec – continues to
live and will never see end of life. The author of the epistle to
the Hebrews was careful to avoid any statement that would
equate Melchisedec with God the Father, in terms of having
existed, as a knowing being for eternity into the past as well as
into the future. This verse contains two mysteries: 1)
Melchisedec was YHWH and became Yeshua, the Christ; 2)
God created Melchisedec before the material universe.
Furthermore, that as Yeshua He did not need ancestral records
proving His qualifications for priesthood, for He created the
priestly office and He made the priests who served in that
function.

We know that the Father did not have a beginning, for He has
life within Himself. However, the bible tells us that there was a
time when the Son did not have life within Himself, for the
Father gave the Son that kind of life. If the Father gave the
Son that He might have life within Himself, it is manifest that at
one time He did not have such life.

John 5:26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the
Son to have life in himself;

From this information, we understand that the Son relied on the
Father for His life, in His early existence and while He was on
the earth, as a human being. The Son had eternal life originally,
but He did not have self-existent life. We know this, for had the
Son originally had self-existent life, He could not have given it
up to become a being of flesh, to die a physical death for the
sins of the world.

One dictionary definition of eternal is “without beginning or
end”. However, if this definition were true, God could not give
human beings eternal life. This does not square with Scripture.
The human endeavor is to go from life that can perish to eternal
life – life that cannot perish, although God can end it, if He
wishes. The important point to comprehend is that eternal life
has a beginning.

John 3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have
eternal life.

Herein lies another mystery: There was no question of who
would die for man. The Father could not and cannot die – He
could not give up His life. The Son could die, for He had only
eternal life, supported by the Father, before He came into the
world as a sacrifice for humanity.

After Yeshua died for the sins of the world, the Father gave
Him life within Himself; therefore, He cannot die again at
anytime in the future. The Father has highly exalted Yeshua –
the Father has given Yeshua self-existent life!

Philippians 2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given
him a name which is above every name:

We should understand that God has not promised us self-
existent life! God promises us eternal life, which we do not
currently have. We should comprehend from this that eternal
life has a beginning!

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten
Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have
everlasting (eternal) life.

In order to know “Who Yeshua is” we must start before the
beginning of John 1:1 and Genesis 1:1. By the time of John 1:
1, The Word had just come into being. By the time of Genesis
1:1, The Word had created the angels and the physical
universe. However, by the time of Genesis 1:2, the earth had
become corrupted. Within the information of Genesis 1:2 lies
another mystery that, when understood, will begin to unravel
what happened before Yeshua set the stage for Adam and Eve.

Therefore, how did Genesis 1:2 come about? How did the
earth become corrupt? John again gives us something with
which to go deeper into this mystery:

Revelation 12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels
fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

John tells us about a war fought in heaven. Michael and his
angels fought against the dragon and his angels. The bible tells
us that the dragon is Satan.

Revelation 20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which
is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

Christ mentions something about this war: what happened to
Satan:

Luke 10:18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from
heaven.

John tells us much the same thing. Michael’s Host threw Satan
and his host out of heaven. In other words, they fell from
heaven like lightning!

Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent,
called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was
cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

Therefore, we know that for some reason a war took place in
heaven. We know that Michael and his Host were on the good
side and Satan and his host were on the evil side. Therefore,
we can construe that Satan probably started this
confrontation. What could the cause have been? Another
mystery presents itself. We know that the name Satan means:
adversary. How did Satan get this name? This leads us to
more information!

Isaiah tells us of a being who fell from heaven! However, the
bible names this being Lucifer, which means “Morning Star”.

Isaiah 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the
morning! [How] art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken
the nations!

Isaiah tells us more. This Lucifer reasoned within himself that
he would ascend into heaven and exalt his throne above the
stars of God. He continued to think within himself that he
would ascend above the clouds and make himself the Most High
God. However, God had something in store for Lucifer when
he arrived!

Isaiah 14:13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into
heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also
upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like (I will
make myself – Hebrew is Hithpael, a verb denoting something one does
for himself) the most High.
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

We should derive something from Isaiah’s message that could
escape us. Lucifer was not in heaven when he began his
wicked process of reasoning. God knew what Lucifer was
devising. God had sealed Lucifer’s fate before he set off for
heaven.

Where was Lucifer in the midst of his brooding thoughts?

We know that Yeshua created the earth perfect in Genesis 1:
1. Isaiah 45:18 tells us “He created it not in vain”. In other
words, God did not create the earth in confusion or a state of
corruption. God (the Word) laid the foundations of the earth in
Genesis 1:1. The earth had become corrupt by Genesis 1:2.

The angels of God shouted for joy when Yeshua laid the
foundations of the earth – a perfect creation. Something
caused devastation, on the earth. The bible gives us no other
answer. Undoubtedly this desolation came about because of
the war in heaven.

Isaiah 45:18 For thus saith the LORD (YHWH) that created the
heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath
established it, he created it not in vain (wht tohuw), he formed it to be
inhabited: I am the LORD (YHWH); and there is none else.

Job 38:4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?
Declare, if thou hast understanding.
5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? Or who hath
stretched the line upon it?
6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? Or who laid the
corner stone thereof;
7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God
shouted for joy?

Ezekiel tells us more about this fallen being, Lucifer. God
gave Ezekiel knowledge of Lucifer-turned-Satan in a riddle or
mystery. The king of Tyrus became more than a human being.
This mystery gives us enough details so that we can make out
as much as necessary to understand that Ezekiel speaks of the
same being as Isaiah in his chapter 14 concerning Lucifer. We
can here also make the connection that Lucifer became Satan.
He began as a perfect being from several perspectives, full of
wisdom and faultless in beauty. Lucifer lived in Eden the
garden of God. Lucifer used every beautiful and precious
stone for his clothing. Lucifer was a created being.

Ezekiel 28:11 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say
unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of
wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was
thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx,
and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold:
the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in
the day that thou wast created.

Two verses of Ezekiel, in the KJV, give us the impression that
Lucifer was an angel-type being or a cherub. From this, others
have jumped to the conclusion that Yeshua was an angel or
cherub. However, notice these verses in other translations.
The KJV tells us that Lucifer was the anointed cherub. The
RSV tells us that God placed Lucifer with an anointed guardian
cherub. The KJV translates “I will destroy you, O covering
cherub”. The RSV translates “the guardian cherub drove you
out”.

KJV:
Ezekiel 28:14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have
set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked
up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created,
till iniquity was found in thee.
16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee
with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as
profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering
cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.

RSV:
Ezekiel 28:14 With an anointed guardian cherub I placed you; you were
on the holy mountain of God; in the midst of the stones of fire you
walked.
15 You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created, till
iniquity was found in you.
16 In the abundance of your trade you were filled with violence, and
you sinned; so I cast you as a profane thing from the mountain of God,
and the guardian cherub drove you out from the midst of the stones of
fire.

Once we understand what happened, we comprehend that the
RSV translation is more accurate than the KJV in it
representation of the cherub of Ezekiel 28:14, 16.

Ezekiel 28:15 tells us that Lucifer was perfect and then iniquity became
a part of him. This mystery conveys to us the transition from Lucifer to
Satan. Now Lucifer had sinned and we know that the wages of sin =
death.

1John 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth
from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested,
that he might destroy the works of the devil.

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin [is] death; but the gift of God [is]
eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
