The First Earth Age — Part 6
Eze 28:11-12 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 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.
The name “Tyrus” is from the Hebrew, “tsore,” and means “rock.” But he is not our Rock, my friends, because this one is figuratively Lucifer in The First Earth Age, because this one is called The King of Tyrus. The Prince of Tyrus would therefore be Satan in this Second Earth Age.
The phrase, “sealest up the sum,” is a Hebraism that means, “made in the full pattern,” which implies that Lucifer was made in the full image of God Most High. He was the wisest and most beautiful of all of God’s sons.
Eze 28:13 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.
This was that “Eden”, or Garden of God, back in The First World, and the word is from “ay’-den, ed-naw’,” which means “pleasure.” Note that Lucifer was created thus he also is a son of God.
Eze 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.
Lucifer was “The Anointed Cherub.” The word “anointed” is from “mim-shakh’,” which means “expansion; outspread (that is, with outstretched wings).” The word, “covereth,” is from “saw-kak’,” which means, “entwine as a screen; by implication to fence in, cover over, (figuratively) protect.” The notion of “wings” symbolically describes the extent of his power to protect.
Based on his location, on the Holy Mountain, Lucifer must have been one of the two cherubs that spread their wings (symbolizing their power) over God’s Throne to protect it. The Mercy Seat that Moses was commanded to make had two cherubim with outstretched wings that touched, one on each end of the mercy seat, thus symbolizing what was once very real in The First World. Therefore Lucifer was once one of those two cherubim. The mercy seat symbolizes God’s Throne, which is the place were mercy is given to us.
Eze 28:15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
Lucifer was “perfect in his ways,” which is to say he was perfectly righteous, until he fell into lawlessness, “iniquity.”
Eze 28:16-17 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. Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.
Lucifer became arrogant and wanted to sit on The Throne instead of God, and used his power and influence to cause a rebellion of God’s children against Him. So he was cast out as filthy.
Eze 28:18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
Did you know that Lucifer had very many “sanctuaries” in The First World? The word is from, “mik-dawsh’,” which means ” a consecrated thing or place, especially a palace, sanctuary (whether of Jehovah or of idols) or asylum.” We call them “temples,” “churches,” or “synagogues” today.
We just read the verse where our Father passed final judgment against Lucifer, that a fire would burn inside of him and devour him and consume him to ashes upon the earth. Note that his extermination will be right here on earth, my friends. This will occur at The Great White Throne Judgment at the end of The Millennial Reign of Jesus Christ.
And thus will also be the form of extermination of all who do not finally overcome the deception of Satan before The Judgment in order to partake of The Second Resurrection. This therefore is the result of being cast into The Lake of Fire.
Eze 28:19 All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.
Lucifer and all of God’s sons who follow in Lucifer’s ways will cease to exist and never exist again forever. This is The Second Death.

The First Earth Age — Part 7
Isaiah 14 is about the “King of Babylon” which is a type of The Antichrist, and also represents Lucifer in The First World. Our Father declares in the following verses what his sin was that initially caused all of this trouble in the first place, including causing the rebellion against God and the utter destruction of The First World.
Have you ever wondered why we have to go through all of this trouble and time of testing? Well, let’s not cast too much blame all on Lucifer because there is plenty to go around. But consider:
Isa 14:9-10 Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us?
There will come a time when the “dead” speak to Lucifer and say something like, “Are you just as weak and helpless as we are?” This conversation must be during The Millennium, because the “dead” represent all who do not take part in The First Resurrection and inherit Eternal Life.
Isa 14:11 Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee.
It is pretty clear that this verse describes a dead body with worms crawling in and crawling out, which suggests the burning garbage dump outside the city of Jerusalem at the time Jesus walked this earth where they threw dead animals and people who had no one to bury them. So much for Lucifer’s great arrogant boasting! However this is obviously figurative of those who are outcasts of The New City of Jerusalem where our Lord will dwell during His Thousand Year Reign.
Isa 14:12-14 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! 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: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
Lucifer, that Protecting Cherub, once perfect in wisdom and beauty, has fallen from grace, because he said, “I will be above all the sons of God. I will sit on The Throne. I will be God!”
Isa 14:15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
When our Lord returns, one of the first things He will do is throw Satan into The Bottomless Pit.
Isa 14:16-17 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?
During The Millennium, we will be able to walk up to that pit and look down into it to see Satan down there and say, “Are you the guy who caused all of this trouble?”
Isa 14:18-19 All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house. But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.
So Satan, alias Lucifer, will be made very low indeed, as a dead corpse that men walk over and stomp on in disgust.

The First Earth Age — Part 8
Isa 51:7-9 Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings. For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation from generation to generation. Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD; awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. Art thou not it that hath cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon?
The word, “Rahab,” is derived from “raw-hab’” which means “to urge severely, that is, (figuratively) importune, embolden, capture, act insolently.” Thus this one from The First World acted “insolently.” Any idea who that one was?
And the word, “dragon,” is derived from “tan” which means “to elongate; a monster (as preternaturally formed), that is, a sea serpent (or other huge marine animal); also a jackal (or other hideous land animal).” Do you believe in “monsters,” my friends? But there are no “dragons” in this Second World, therefore this must represent someone in The First World.
The very notion of a dragon in this world is only recorded in the ancient zodiac in the constellation of Draco The Dragon, whose tail encompasses one third of the stars of heaven. So who exactly do you think this dragon might symbolize? These symbols represent Lucifer and perhaps one of his lieutenants in The First Earth Age. And the stars symbolize the Sons of God, so Lucifer must have convinced one third of God’s angels to rebel against The Most High. They are surely not of this world, because of the command to Christ in these verses, Who now sits at the right hand of The Almighty, to “awake as in the ancient days,” which must refer to our Lord going into battle at the end of The First World before this one.
Rev 12:3-5 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.
This Dragon in Revelation is obviously Draco from the Hebrew Zodiac. The “child” is our Lord Jesus Christ, and the “woman” is Israel. That “great red dragon” uses his tail to draw one third of the stars, which symbolize the angels of God, and casts them down to earth, symbolizing their death or loss of their souls. The dragon represents Lucifer in The First World, and also several of his aliases in this Second World.
Rev 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.
So here it is revealed to us some of his names in this world, “That Old Serpent,” remember Adam and Eve in The Garden of Eden? And “The Devil” and “Satan,” well those are well known. But in The First World his name was Lucifer, and so we will focus on his influence back then.
Whatever happened angered our Father to a wrath so severe that He destroyed all living things and nearly destroyed the earth beyond the point of repair, but not quite.
Based on the number, one third, we are reasonable to assume that Lucifer’s rebellion deceived one third of God’s sons, among us, to rebel with him. And we are no different today than we were then, because it was us dwelling on earth in our angelic bodies back then when this all happened.
Most people don’t want to get involved; they just stand off to one side like sheep and watch and try to stay out of the way, not taking one side or the other. But surely some of God’s children rallied to Him in faithfulness.
Jer 4:23 I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.
Does this sound like Genesis 1:2? The phrase “without form and void” is from the same Hebrew words used in Genesis, “to-hoo va bo-hoo”. Now that we have read about what happened so that we have some understanding, these words take on a whole new meaning before our mind’s eye. These verses describe that actual event of the utter destruction of The First Earth Age.
Jer 4:24-25 I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly. I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.
None of God’s sons, angels, were left on earth, not even one, and were no doubt called back to Him in the heavenly dimension for Judgment. And there were no birds either.
Jer 4:26 I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger.
The Paradise of God was turned into a wasteland, and the ancient cities were completely destroyed.
Jer 4:27 For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end.
The earth was damaged until it became formless and empty, and all life was destroyed, but the foundation of the earth was not completely destroyed, so that our Lord could rejuvenate the earth and make this Second World for a time of testing each of His sons one by one.
Jer 4:28 For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black: because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it.
Thus The First Earth Age ended. This knowledge is one of the Great Mysteries and gives us the context to explain why this second world is a time of trouble and testing. “Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.”
