The Scripture is explicitly clear that GOD is all-powerful and all-knowing. Most believers (of GOD as the CREATOR of all things), regardless of whether they are true and faithful to GOD or are all the fraudulent ones that fill our world in overflowing numbers, all believe that GOD or their god/gods is all-powerful and all-knowing.
But few, if there are indeed any at all, regardless of the few faithful or the billions of false deceitful, actually understand what it means when they claim that GOD is all-knowing and all-powerful. That is why almost all these believers hold to some of the most ridiculous teachings about GOD.
Teachings or doctrines that said GOD chooses not to know what mankind is doing; that Satan claimed as disguised as a serpent was “able to sneak” into the ‘Garden of Eden’ to tempt Eve to eat the ‘Forbidden Fruits’; that GOD will torture forever all who do not believe in HIM; that GOD tests humans to find out what these humans will do (because HE had no idea at all what humans would do); that Satan is just a faithful servant of GOD serving GOD to tempt and test humans; that Satan is just a powerless entity “unable to harm” humans but can only tempt them; that GOD has exactly ninety-nine names; that GOD will rewards believing men with copious dozens of prime, top of the line, voluptuous virgins in heaven; that GOD want believers to sadistically butcher non-believers; and tons of numerous senselessly ridiculous garbage from the so-called “Original Sins”, “Fall from Grace”, “Trinity”, “Good Friday”, “Easter”, “Christmas”, etc.
Anyone actually cognitively intelligent (and not cognitively stupid past the point of total technical insanity) would know and understand that all-knowing means to know everything absolutely without exceptions. That GOD is all-knowing means that there is nothing at all that HE does not know or cannot know. Not only will GOD know everything we do without cavert, restriction and without limit, but HE will know everything we will ever do or can ever do. Including knowing about us and all that we will do (once we exist) before we even exist yet.

Many people who believe in GOD believe GOD is all-knowing, but not many of them actually understand what all-knowing (including all-powerful) means. That is why most of these people just have no clue what GOD being all-knowing is actually like. That was the reason all these nutcases believe that Satan secretly sneaked into the ‘Garden of Eden’ disguised as a serpent and deceived Eve into eating the ‘Forbidden Fruit’. Meaning all these total nutcases believe that all-knowing GOD just did not know (i.e., totally have no clue at all absolutely) that Satan could be able to disguise himself (from an all-knowing GOD) as a serpent to then unknown to all-knowing GOD, secretly sneaked in to deceive Eve into taking and eating the ‘Forbidden Fruit’.
All these nutcases believe that GOD just totally have no clue that Eve would take and eat the ‘Forbidden Fruits’ that GOD HIMSELF personally and intentionally planted in the Garden of Eden to test Adam and Eve so that HE could fail them and deny them access to the Tree of Life. That the all-knowing GOD totally did not know or was totally unaware that HE HIMSELF totally knowingly and intentionally planted the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil to deny Adam and Eve from eating the Tree of Life.
All these nutcases believe that GOD totally had no idea at all that Adam would totally choose to obey Eve, his wife, to take and eat the ‘Forbidden Fruit’ that GOD had specifically warned him and Eve against eating.
Anyone who had ever read a Bible (the interpreted translation of the Scripture) would know that in Genesis chapter 1 verse 27 and 28 it was clearly recorded that GOD explicitly and plainly commanded Adam and Eve to have sex in order to procreate or reproduce mankind. That GOD commanded Adam and Eve to have sex as HIS ‘natural’ way for them to conceive children. And Adam and Eve obeyed this GOD commanded, ordained, and mandated process to populate and fill the world with mankind. Otherwise none of us will be here today, the entire human race would instantly become extinct when Adam and Eve died of old age.
So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
Genesis 1:27 – 28
Most of these nutcases (all the proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives of the Christmas religions and the various Islamic religions who—the founder of Islam—got this doctrine from the great mother harlot of the Christmas religions) actually believe that after Adam and Eve obeyed GOD and had sex so as to conceive children, GOD then condemned them and all the children they and their descendants conceived from this ordained and mandated process as an evil and defiling sin that condemned them and all the descendants from this ordained and mandated process to populate and fill the world with mankind. That Adam and Eve having sex was the original sin that condemns all of mankind to be sadistically tortured in “hell” forever (after they die). All these religions are spawned and seeded by Satan the Devil to get all their nutcase believers to blaspheme and insult GOD to the maximum.
All these total nutcases believe that all-knowing GOD totally has no clue or is totally unable to comprehend that for Adam and Eve to obey HIS command to carry out HIS mandate to ‘multiply and populate the world with mankind’, Adam and Eve, including all their descendants, have to have sex in order to be able to conceive children and have descendants.
All these nutcases believe that all-knowing GOD somehow or anyhow just completely totally lost HIS all-knowing mind to be unable to understand and know any of these things.
Billions of so-called “Christians” and also all those equally other senseless religions of mankind today believe many, most, and even all of this senseless nonsense, and I hope that you, the one reading this, aren’t among them.
GOD is all-knowing means there is no way GOD will not know that Eve would be manipulated and deceived by the serpent into taking and eating the “forbidden fruit”. And HE will know with definitive certainty that Eve would also be able to get her husband, Adam, to eat the fruit too. And GOD will know about all of these even way before Adam was created and Eve was created through Adam. Before Adam and Eve even existed yet.
Yes, even billions to trillions of years all the way to time infinite, even before any of the Angels and mankind were created yet, GOD already knew that HE would create all of them. Every single one of them in the exact order that they were created. Down to all mankind being born from Adam and Eve down to the last human ever born before the Great Judgment, GOD already knew the time they would be born and die, right down to the exact nanosecond. Before any life on earth was created, before even the Angelic realm existed, GOD already knew everything that would exist before anything even existed yet. Obviously, HE is the only ONE who can cause them to exist or bring them into existence. If HE didn’t, not one else can. Nothing can exist, and nothing will exist unless and until GOD creates them.
Since GOD created them all, HE obviously know about them all before HE created them, before they existed. All these total religious nutcases totally have not been able to understand and are today still completely clueless to even this very simple and very obvious thing.
Even time (not time as what science theorized time as) did not exist until GOD brought the creation (beginning with the Spirit realm) into existence. Until GOD began the creation, time did not exist. If you understand ‘time’ vis-à-vis the created reality, you will fully understand these few paragraphs above, and why nothing can be unknown to GOD.
The clear and evident reality (if we understand the reality of our universe that science theorized came from a Big Bang) is that GOD (if you believe in GOD and never mind if you don’t and won’t) already knows everything regardless of whatever, because no one else can at all bring anything into existence except GOD alone as the FIRST CAUSE of all things existing including time. The same goes with evil.
All these, of course, implied one thing.
For evil to exist in the creation; GOD too must already know about it before even any of the creation, both the Angels and much later mankind, even existed yet. GOD too will know exactly when, how, and in which exact order which of the Angels and mankind will become or turn evil. Because evil does not and cannot exist until the creatures, all the cognitively intelligent, self-aware creatures that can conceive, instigate, embrace, harbor, and most important spread evil, exist, to be able to cause evil as an expressed intelligent driven thinking motivation to be conceived, sowed, and spread to the creatures.
For evil, as basically anything that harms the creatures (just not necessarily all the creatures), to be conceived in the creation and among the creatures, GOD will know when and how they would and will be conceived and what all the forms they would and will take. From the very first instance, to every instance, down to the very last instant. Nothing can happen in any and all reality except GOD allows for it. Anything at all that can exist can only exist if, and only if, GOD, and only GOD, has brought it into existence. And they exist only because GOD allows them to. This includes evil as thinking or thought based motivation to take from or harm someone (including, something).
The natural question then is why does GOD allow it (i.e., evil to form, take root, and to fill/flood the creation). HE certainly can prevent every instance of evil from occurring, from coming into existence. GOD can prevent every instance of evil from ever taking root. Why would GOD allow evil into HIS creation when HE, being truly all-powerful, can easily prevent or stop it at any and all time?
To understand this, we first need to understand what GOD has been creating, starting with the Angelic realm, with the Spirit-composed Angelic beings or entities (i.e., per this work, personages). Then much later (possibly millions or more years later) the physical or ‘temporary’ realm of our universe and ourselves. Especially why GOD would create an contextually inferior realm only after HE created a by far greater or ‘better’ Spirit-realm.
The creation, if you believe and understand what was recorded in the Scripture, began with GOD creating the Angelic realm of Spirit-composed personages.
Satan the Devil came into existence billions of years ago together with all the rest of the Angelic (i.e., spirit-composed) personages. Satan has not start out life as Satan the nemesis of GOD, but as one of the numerous Angels serving GOD in the Spirit realm. Satan is still (though he has turned morphing or evolving into a devil) then one of several high-ranking Angels of GOD, and was entrusted and empowered with administering the Kingdom of GOD. Today he has been left in charge with authority over development of Earth including over all mankind.
For multiple millions of years, probably billions of (Earth) years, all these Angels, including the one who turned into or became Satan, all lived in peace, joy, and harmony, serving GOD in the administration, development, and growth of the creation, which initially was just the Spirit realm or dominion.
Sometime after creating the Angelic realm with all the Angels, GOD then created the physical realm (i.e., which science calls our universe). A team of Angels led by an Archangel who later became Satan was then entrusted to undertake the development of the then newly created realm.
Though I do not know if that is true, Satan very likely started turning evil sometime (could be millions to some billions of years) after the physical realm was created. The reason I say this is that in order for these intelligent, cognitively aware creatures to begin to develop new ideas and new thinking, there has to be some completely new developments to cause, seed, or root the conceptualization of these new and entirely previously unknown ideas or concepts.
After countless millions of years of administering the Spirit realm, for these Angels to begin entertaining new ideas and from these new ideas develop new thinking, new concepts, and new knowledge requires the introduction of something that is entirely new to the creation. Something none of these Angels have encountered before, and for which they totally have no concept or idea about.
The same applies to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. When Adam and Eve settled into their lives in the Garden of Eden, they saw no compelling need to begin exploring the two special trees. They basically accepted what GOD told them about everything they had learned and, until that point in time, knew about. This could also mean that the Tree of Life and its fruits were not particularly appealing and attractive in appearance. Which is why, despite the Tree of Life and its fruits not being forbidden to them, Adam and Eve did not seek out this tree and its fruit to consume it. It could be surmised that there were plenty of more attractive and more appealing-looking other trees and fruits for them to fill their appetite.
Whereas the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, on the other hand, must be particularly attractive in appearance and very appealing to the eyes. But it was avoided because of the warning that GOD had attached to it. As naturally (because they would by default believe and trust the only other person they know about, who had brought them to conscious existence), they would accept and believe GOD’s warning that the fruits of this Tree would cause them to lose their life if they ate it. This was when they as yet had no idea what losing their lives or dying conceptually meant.
This is a similar case when young children and babies are concerned. They will, by default, believe those whom they know and who care for them. This is until they are introduced to others, either others familiar to them or who are strangers to them. Once they get to know others and listen to what they say, the initial reaction between their primary caregiver and those less familiar to them; they will initially trust and believe their primary caregiver. However, after they have been exposed to others for some time, they will slowly begin to think and believe differently, considering and accepting new ideas and beliefs.
Therefore, the only reason that would lead Eve to consider eating the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil had to be the introduction of the new idea that the fruits of this tree were actually highly desirable to eat as opposed to being a deadly threat that would cause them death. Another new idea was of GOD “pulling a fast one on them” (i.e., GOD is cheating, deceiving, or shortchanging them).
So then, regardless of whatever else, with the creation of the physical realm and the resulting introduction of infinite trillions of new concepts in a newly created realm that these Angels have the power ability to change, alter, form, and shape, must have opened up the imaginations of these Spirit entities. A practically infinite possibility has opened up to these Angels who until then have not known anything else apart from themselves and GOD.
Satan began developing new ideas that ultimately led to him thinking of himself as someone who is superior to GOD. This over time led him to entertain the idea that he would be able to dethrone GOD and set himself up as the supreme ruler of all things. Essentially, Satan took all these infinite possibilities that this new physical universe opened up to fantasize that he would be able to dethrone and overpower GOD.
Like every insane “lunatic that has ever sprouted up in the world mankind” since man was kicked out of the Garden of Eden, Satan too has completely lost all context of himself and the reality that GOD created him and everything else. He slowly but surely went completely insane. Power is an extremely intoxicating “brew”; the more power a person or entity (as a created being) can muster, the more insane they will ultimately become over time.
Though Satan has conceptually become insane, he is not stupid. He is cognizant that he just does not have the power on his own to be able to dethrone GOD. He understands that he needs the allegiance of the other Angels, as many as he can enlist to his cause (i.e., essentially to become one of his zombified minions).
In his insanity, he thinks or believes that if he can get the majority of the Angels to support him, he will be able to defeat and dethrone GOD. He began his manipulative sway, targeting any of the Angels he can get to become unhappy, then angry, then bitter, and finally cause them to become filled with hatred, malice, and vicious hostility towards GOD.
With mankind, we all basically have a default built-in reality check to our power intoxication because we are actually cognizant that, as limited creatures, we can be easily harmed and destroyed by even very tiny microscopic things in our reality. But with the Angels, the only reality checks on them are other Angels who are as powerful or more powerful than they are. If they are among the most powerful of GOD’s Angels, as Satan is, there are basically very few restraining limits to their power lust and delusion.
No doubt the number one reality check for the Angels is GOD, HIS presence among them, and their awareness of HIS presence and existence. However, when GOD brought all creation into existence, GOD’s intention has been to allow all the creatures (both Angels and mankind) to self-regulated and self-govern with just the oversight rule by GOD, where the Angels are concerned. Whereas with mankind, the oversight was left to the Angels overseeing the Earth.
That is one very obvious implicit purpose why GOD appointed ‘watchers’ over mankind and the twenty-four elders over the Throne of GOD in the third Heaven. That was the reason why a team of Angels was assigned to ‘oversee’ mankind from the time when the Earth was populated to this very day.
The oversight concept is also the reason not long from now, when Satan and his demons finally openly revolt to try and overthrow GOD, it will be Michael the Archangel who will lead a team of GOD’s Angels to defeat him and not GOD or JESUS CHRIST.
Undoubtedly, there are a few reasons GOD let Michael and his Angels take on Satan. The main reason for this being that with Satan and all his demons, if GOD actually wants to annihilate them, it would take GOD no more than just ‘a thought’, and Satan and his demons will be instantly vaporize into absolute nothingness. That is the reason I said that Satan had gone completely insane when he first took on the thought of dethroning GOD.
This insanity has, at one time during the days of the Prophet Daniel, compromised almost all (except for Gabriel and Michael) of the Angels of GOD. Today Satan and a third of the Angels still cling to this insanity that they will be able to overpower and overthrow GOD.
And it is not just Angels who have been those who have succumbed to the insanity (of believing something to be or can be true because they lusted uncontrollably for it to be true). Nearly all of mankind today are equally afflicted with this same madness. Even those who are the Saints of GOD (who, according to JESUS), cannot be deceived unless they lusted uncontrollably to be. An iconic example of this uncontrolled lust was the full-of-himself Apostle Paul.
This is why the ministry of the ‘Elijah who come first’ is the absolutely crucial element for GOD to turn the Elect and Saints of GOD around from all the lies these Elect and Saints have all totally embraced because they all lust uncontrollably to.
The Scripture did not reveal exactly when Satan first began to entertain thoughts of evil to gradually become completely evil; it must have taken multiple millions to possibly billions of (Earth) years after the creation of the physical universe. It most likely only began happening sometime after the creation of the (physical) universe.
For some entirely new ideas that were previously unknown to begin developing in the Angelic realm, it could only come about from an entirely new realm in an entirely different, previously unknown creation. Understand that when the Angels were created, the only thing they knew of as something real or as the only expression of reality was GOD (manifested as someone very similar to themselves), themselves, and the realm of their existence. Therefore, these are the only concepts of reality known to all the Angels until GOD created the physical realm, which we call the universe.
In a realm with limited forms that are all Spirit-composed Angels of various builds, sizes, and power, there is very limited option to create objects and structures of varying forms and shapes. Actually, none at all.
The imaginations of the Angels immediately opened up once GOD created our universe (i.e., the physical or material realm made from energy that can be used to construct a near-infinite possibility of objects and structures with nearly limitless features in form, shape, size, color, pattern, and other attributes).
While the Scripture did not reveal when Satan began entertaining ideas of evil, it however did reveal that because of Satan's magnificence, splendor, and knowledge, his ‘heart was lifted up’ and he became arrogant and ‘totally full of himself’. In the Book of Job, the Scripture clearly revealed just how arrogant Satan had become. He not only became evil but effectively completely insane from his arrogance. In his madness, he began imagining that he would be able to overpower and dethrone GOD, and began conspiring to get all the Angels to align with him to support his nefarious schemes.
The question that you needed to ask then is, why would and why did GOD allow Satan to become evil since HE could easily have prevented and stopped him?
Without GOD's Imposing Presence and Requirement All the Creatures Will Ultimately Turn Evil
The answer is simple: every single one of the Angels (or, for that matter, mankind which is not to say that there is any who haven't except those GOD preserved) will ultimately all turn evil if GOD allows them to. The reason is self-expediency.
Every creature that needs to compete for any reason most prioritize themselves (including all those they fend for or protect). When all these creatures are placed without a ruling authority over them, and placed in a position where they need to compete, self-preservation becomes their number one priority whether to remain relevant or to dominate in any capacity. This is very true where life on earth is concerned though it does not apply to the Spirit realm. That is the number one reason I said that these Angels downgraded themselves when the physical realm was created. Created with a need to compete against one another, they chose out purely out lust to do so.
And the only reason some (actually probably only two of them, Michael and Gabriel) of these Angels don’t (and haven’t turned) evil is that GOD prevented them from doing so.
The reason GOD would only prevent a handful of Angels from becoming evil (and not all of them) is the same reason GOD called only a few members of mankind to become HIS Prophets, with only just three righteous men called during the entire Old Covenant (includes the period before) period: Noah, Job, and Daniel. And in the New Covenant period, Scripture recorded only of just one, the Apostle John. But this last period is not yet over, with still another thousand years to go, so we can't say for sure how many.
First thing to be clear on is that these three men, Noah, Job, and Daniel, were not righteous because of their “holy righteous characters”, “spiritual maturity”, or any other garbage reason declared and asserted by men. They are righteous because GOD kept them righteous; to the extent that GOD kept them righteous. If GOD didn’t, they would be no more righteous than all of wicked mankind.
It is entirely GOD’s doing and only GOD’s doing. If GOD didn’t keep the Angels Michael and Gabriel faithful to HIM, both wouldn’t be. They would be just like all the rest of the other Angels.
The question then is why hasn’t GOD kept all the Angels faithful to HIM since HE very easily could have done so? Or for that matter, all of mankind? The obvious answer lies in what is GOD’s purpose behind the creation of the Angels and mankind. A purpose that requires GOD not to stop evil in HIS creatures except for just a nominal few.
If we understand why GOD will only keep just a very few of HIS creatures righteous and faithful, we will understand why HE has not kept all the rest from sinning and entertaining, and even embracing evil completely.
The reason GOD kept just a few of HIS creatures faithful and righteous to HIM was as the control sample or baseline through which HE will use to correct all the rest. But only just all those who are willing to be corrected, not those who refused to be.
In most tests or research to find a solution works or effective, especially those relating to food and medication (or drugs), aside from testing this food or medication to validate the effectiveness (or efficacy), researchers must set up a control sample against which this food or medication is tested against in order to verify and authenticate the results. And that is the same reason why GOD kept just a few of the creatures faithful and righteous, as the control or baseline against which all those HE allows to turn evil can be validly evaluated.
Just be clear that GOD does not need to prove anything to anyone, but it is for the sake of the creatures (because they are fallible beings) that these proofs are needed. GOD is righteous, HE does not demand ‘just obey me or else’. HE irrefutably proves every point and argument HE made.
That is why there is a great Judgment for all mankind who has ever lived. Where every member of mankind (who were not part of the first Resurrection of the Just) will be brought to life to account and answer for every evil (all their acts and communications) they had committed in their first lifetime. Then righteously punished to extract their sincere repentance. Before a new creation will replace the current one which will cease to be.
That is why the Angels who rebelled and sinned before the Genesis chapter 1 verse 2 renewal (i.e., the recreating all life on earth wiped out by the first Angelic rebellion) account have been kept in ‘chains of darkness’ awaiting the day when they too will be judged. That is why Satan after his coming rebellion failed, will be seized and bound for one thousand years. Then after that he will be released for a short time before being finally thrown into the Lake of Fire to be burned up and destroyed forever together with all the rest of the creatures who refused to repent during the great Judgment.
What the newly created second realm of the physical universe did was it give the Angels not just a ton of new information; it also opened up infinite possibilities for them to create (i.e., mold, shape, and form) and invent. But also, opportunities to destroy (to break down or tear apart).
With these new opportunities also come another ability: to rethink and ‘re-tool’ themselves into someone else. In the reality of mankind as we grow, we change, taking on new abilities, functionalities, and skills. We basically become a different person from when we were first born. We change significantly from we were as a child, a teen, a young adult, a grown and more mature (not necessarily better, especially wiser or actually more intelligent) adult, and finally old age and death.
With mankind, a very common practice in our life is that we always need to improve ourselves, our lot and position in life. We need to because we are temporary creatures with life stages of birth, growth, maturity, reproduction, aging, and death. But most importantly, to live and survive, we need to acquire nutrients for sustenance and growth as well as to secure a habitat or territory to live, grow, procreate, be safe, and house ourselves from all forms of harm to ourselves and our living expression.
We also need to compete, acquire, improve, and increase to both survive and to secure ourselves against others. That is why we need to advance ourselves to various degrees, to improve our lot to ensure, improve, and increase our life with possession and our other acquisition as a lifeform. Advancing ourselves, therefore, is one of the major endeavors and objectives to our lives and our living.
In the Angelic realm with Spirit-composed Angels (before there was the second created physical realm), every Angels have been created without needs; their lives, habitat, and jobs (i.e., assignments) are all given, specifically assigned to them. Their entire life and existence are assigned to them by GOD. Without having needs also naturally means without any real or significant care or concern. And absolute zero danger or threat to themselves. But not without activities, satisfaction, joy, and fulfillment. The Angelic creation was the entire creation until the second creation was created, and it changed the Angelic creatures (i.e., their mind and thinking) ‘forever’.
With the introduction of the second creation, our universe, evil for the first time can have an avenue to be expressed and developed by the creatures in the creation. In a realm and reality with creatures that need to acquire nutrition, grow, reproduce, secure a habitat for habitation, safety, and security, and enhancements to their lives and living expression, where the creatures need to take from others sharing their habitat and realm of existence, harming others (though not necessarily an evil as such) is a necessary and intrinsic expression to life and living in such reality.
And self-advancement can and commonly will lead to self-deception and self-magnification (i.e., giving a false image of the self to present a more desirable and appealing in any sense self image, including a more formidable one) an attitude of superiority over other, even all others.
Here is where all the proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives of knowledge, enlightenment, supreme enlightenment, and whatever other superlative crap (i.e., the philosophers, authorities of religions, and enlightened masters of knowledge) all went completely into insanity. Plainly, the need and want to take from others to provide for and to satisfy our needs, wants, and cravings cannot be deemed an evil, especially as these are mandated and the mandatory requirements to life, living, and continuity. If it is, then GOD, who created all these lives with all these requirements to take from others, would then be considered the author and inventor of evil in the creation, particularly in the second physical creation.
At its most basic, evil or wickedness refers to an action or expression by a ‘freewill’ intelligent personage or an extension through which such personage gain expression that carries a motivation or intent (including all irresponsible expressions of willful, reckless, and willing negligence, aka could not be bothered, couldn't care less, andor form a total lack of any concern) to in some way cause harm or damage whether this harm or damage is to the self or to others, including to things which if harmed or damaged will affect any such personage in some harmful undesirable manner. The context of this harm or damage is from the perspective of that which is or is not a conducive consequence to the overall wellbeing of all resulting from such harm andor damage, to any, some, or all such personage, or things, whether immediately, progressively, or eventually to a time frame of near eternity.
But this definition is just from a specific context and not universally or absolutely applicable in all context of harm inflicted. It is not an absolute or universal definition. For the absolute definitions to the issues of evil, read on to the next installment of this discussion where two most absolute contexts for evil as non-conducive harm to take on a valid expression in reality, in all possible reality, will be disclosed or revealed.
With creatures such as ourselves who are endowed with incredulous intelligence to be able to understand and recognize motivation and extended consequences in actions and results to understand much about ourselves, our habitat, the other lifeforms sharing our Earth, and even much of the forces that enable our realm of existence, our life expression involves much more than these basic needs and primary wants into other more compelling extended wants and desires.
Extending wants and desires into lusting after every imaginable idea and sensation. Including our own sense of self, to amplify and enhance our own (as well as those we aligned with in some ways) self-image or self-worth to the utmost superlative ridiculousness. This self-enhancement is motivated towards self-advancement and self-magnification.
Self-advancement basically is a lie, a deception to present oneself as something more valuable (including more appealing, more desirable, more formidable, more powerful, etc.) than what we actually are. This is so that we will be able to deceive others (including to deceive ourselves) to gain fear, respect, and be valued by others. It is a self-advancement to impress and also in many instance to elitism, supremacism, and racism (as the universal animosity against anyone who is not you. subject or subservient to you, andor aligned and ‘proxified’ with).
Self-advancement is a creature’s trait and behavior. Every sufficient intelligent creature of our realm of existence does this in some form to some extent. Even those creatures with just significant intelligence does it as a development from the evolutionary process of life evolving.
The self-advancement was fully taken up and expressed soon after the Angelic realm was presented with the physical realm. Then eventually taken to an extreme expression by one Archangel to magnify himself to ultra most superlative extreme insanity against the ALMIGHTY.
The Corruption
What happened in the Angelic realm when the physical realm was added to the creation was that a very much superior realm with much superior created creatures downgrading and corrupting themselves and their better foundation. Created in a realm without decomposition, without breakdown, without needs, without death, without lapses in mind and thinking, and by every standard much superior in every sense.
Given a new realm with near infinite possibility to create and improve, the imaginations of these Angels lost all context of their being just a creature, creatures that did not exist until GOD the CREATOR created them, to bring them into existence. That they were created because of GOD's purpose, what GOD is doing according to HIS will and good pleasure (Isaiah 46:10; Ephesian 1:5; Romans 12:2). That the first and most important reason and the primary purpose they exist is because of what GOD is doing, what GOD’s purpose is for creating them and all creation. A purpose they must conform and align with; otherwise, their continued existence will be in doubt, and they will not be allowed to continue.
Today we all know how in employment, we do the job we are assigned or employed to do or we will be fired or terminated. If we are paid to do a job, deliver a product, or service but we fail to, we can’t expect to get paid. It is a simple principle. When these Angels entertained bitterness and rebellion, if they have not gone stark raving insane, they will surely understand and know that their life and continuation will not continue, it will soon be brought to an end by GOD who created them.
With mankind, the same thing already happened: Adam and Eve, and after them the entire Antediluvian Age obviously did not understand this crucially important fact to their existence and continuity. With mankind this at least is understandable because of our temporary and very much inferior ‘nature’. Especially our fore-parents' near-total ignorance and lack of knowledge about almost everything relating to themselves, the other lifeforms around them, their severely limited nature, and the Earth, their habitat.
The Angels created with permanence and incorruptible (i.e., not subjected to damage, decay, decomposition, and breakdown) without mind lapses yet a good percentage of these Angels (manipulated and instigated by Satan) corrupted and defied themselves to begin to entertain and embrace thoughts of bitterness, envy, hatred, animosity, and hostility particularly against GOD their CREATOR (including all those faithful and loyal to HIM).
An even greater insanity with these Angels is that they believe and think that they will be able to overthrow GOD. That they will be able to muster the power (not to mention the literal ability) to overpower and defeat GOD. The reason they would think so is obviously that they actually have no clue who and, most importantly, what GOD IS.
This madness stems from the fact that their only view of GOD is as someone who coexists with them in their realm of existence and reality. This is a similar way mankind (especially several hundred to a thousand and more years ago) thought and understood our habitat, the Earth, our realm of existence as a flat landmass surrounded by the rest of our existence (i.e., the sun, moon, stars, and everything else rotating as smaller objects and dependent on our Earth for their existence). The primitive and ancient men totally had no clue what Earth and the rest of their reality is.
In this aspect, the Angles, like every man since, all have this inherent arrogance in them, in all that they see, sense, perceive, and can detect in some ways. They all think and believe that all that their minds can perceive, detect, sense, or imagine, that these are all there is. There is nothing else.
Their arrogant minds cannot appreciate that just as mankind and objects of the physical realm cannot sense, perceive, and detect these Angels except if the Angels choose to reveal themselves, likewise too that when the Angelic personages look at, see, perceive, or view GOD, they are only seeing what GOD reveals to them and not GOD's fullness or completeness.
Based on what they (think and believe they) ‘know’ of GOD, they think GOD is also a limited being or entity not much different from them except maybe more powerful. This is the same insanity the minds of most Angels and all of mankind are bound or constrained by.
The reason we (both Angels and mankind) are real, and our realities are real, is because they were caused by GOD and GOD only, and no one or thing else. GOD is the only reason; there is no other reason. Satan the Devil and all his Angels (i.e., Demons), and at one time (not sure if this is true anymore, probably not) nearly all the other Angels of GOD, except for Michael and Gabriel, their loyalty and commitment to be faithful to GOD were in doubt. All of these Angels completely lost the context of this very simple and obvious truth and reality that GOD and GOD alone is behind them and their reality existing.
And if GOD so chooses, everything, all the Angels and mankind, both the created realms will instantly vaporize or vanish forever. And GOD would not even feel the loss. In the Book of Revelation, it is revealed that once GOD completes ‘perfecting’ the creatures (primarily mankind and including the Angels), GOD will bring a total end to both current creations, replacing them with a new one.
Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea.
Revelation 21:1
Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.”
Revelation 21:5
These Angels did not even think to consider that before GOD created them and their realm, the third Heaven, where was GOD? If all they see and know about is all there is, where did GOD come from when HE created them? From this simple consideration, understand and realize that GOD is by far greater and bigger than the entire two creations they know about combined. Infinite times greater and bigger.
All that they see and know about (their entire realm and the physical humongous universe) is but a nanoscopic speck of dust compared to the reality that is GOD. Size (dimension) and power, in fact anything at all that we the Angels and mankind understand and can understand cannot factor with GOD. Nothing can measure and limit the ALMIGHTY. Nothing that we can imagine, fantasize, or visualize can matter with GOD. GOD is infinitely beyond all that we the creatures, both Angels and mankind, can ever imagine, visualize, or even fantasize.
Scripture revealed that JESUS came down as a SON of man to reveal the FATHER. This reveals that before JESUS was born as a SON of man, the FATHER was not known to any of the creatures, regardless Angels or mankind. This means that until JESUS revealed the FATHER, none of the Angels even realized that the FATHER who JESUS is greater than HIM, exist.
Do you know or understand what JESUS meant when HE said ‘I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last’? What was HE actually revealing to us (those HE communicate these things too)?
JESUS reveals that apart from HIM (and of course, also the FATHER) there is nothing else absolutely. That all of reality and existence, of all the creation regardless of the Spirit realm, the physical realm of our universe, and whatever else, if there is anything, all consist within HIM. Nothing exists apart or outside of HIM. The entirety of creation, encompassing all reality and existence, is contained within JESUS. This means that JESUS is much more than all creation, all reality, and all existence absolutely.
This is similarly revealed in Colossians 1 verse 17, Acts 17 verse 28, and 1 Corinthians 8 verse 6.
And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.
Colossians 1:17
for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring’.
Acts 17:28
yet for us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we live.
1 Corinthians 8:6 (NASB: and we exist through Him)
Here you need to understand that the terms ‘reality’ and ‘existence’ are concepts or ideas that exist within JESUS, and they do not bound HIM nor define HIM. And apart from JESUS nothing, no forms or concepts exist. And JESUS made it explicitly clear that the FATHER is greater than HIM (John 14 verse 28).
JESUS CHRIST and the FATHER cannot be defined by any knowledge or information concept or idea. Both knowledge and information are concepts of the creation. They take on meaning only when the creation was created. That is what is revealed in John 1 verse 1: ‘In the beginning was the word’. The definition comes before the creation. It enables and contains the creation, enabling the creation to have meaning and expression. This is just as knowledge must first exist before everything that is created can exist. For knowledge gives definition to the creation. Without knowledge no definition can come about.
Of course, evil did not conceive immediately once the physical realm was created. It could be millions to even billions of (Earth) years later, starting very slowly at first with initial thoughts from ideas of comparison and distinction, then elitism, then attitudes of superiority in thinking that they are better or know better, growing into attitudes of supremacy that they are the best of the best, and better than others, all others.
This corruption could have come through some other direction, but it didn’t, as the Scripture revealed and disclosed.
Once evil conceived, developed, and grew in the Angel who became Satan the Devil, Satan then began sowing and growing ideas of disagreement, unhappiness, contention, and resentment conceiving, developing and growing this evil among the other Angels. Initially among all those who reported to and were assigned to work under him.
Scripture very clearly, plainly, and explicitly showed that a third of the Angels have gone completely evil. And at some soon future time not long from today, these evil Angels (i.e., Demons) will join with Satan to finally rebel against GOD and HIS government. All of these in total complete absolute insanity, harboring the hope that they will be able to overthrow GOD and take over the government and Kingdom from GOD (Revelation 12 verse 7 to 9).
From the Scripture (such as the books of Isaiah, Ezekiel, Revelation, and numerous other passages, most from those in the New Covenant section of the Scripture), if we are not clueless stupid, we would (or should anyway) both know and understand that the Angels of GOD, all of them too, can become evil, with some one third of them by today gone evil.
Obviously, if one Angel can and a third of them by today has, it just means that all of them too can and will turn evil, if GOD did not act to stop or prevent them.
If all of them can, the question to ask (if we are intelligent and not massively stupid) is why only a third have, whereas the rest haven’t? Is it a random ‘luck or chance’ thing?
Or do these that haven’t have some mysterious attributes, traits, or properties, such as “spirituality, godly character, or possess some miraculous force or traits” that the others do not? How about some members of mankind, such as Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, and all the Prophets and Judges of the Old Covenant period and all the Apostles and other Prophets of the New Covenant era? Do these men also have these same “spirituality, godly character, or possess some miraculous force or traits” that is why they are faithful and did not become corrupted?
And where did all these mysterious attributes, traits, or properties come from? GOD is the only CREATOR of everything. If GOD did not created them, they do not and cannot exist. And if GOD created them why would HE be selective who be given these mysterious attributes, traits, or properties and not just give to all the creatures so that all of them will also be righteous? It is so that all the rest can be turned evil? It is so that all the creatures except these few could turn evil, so they can fill the entire creation with evil?
What do you think?
If there are no secret, magical, or miraculous mysteries behind the rest of the Angels and those men of GOD not turning evil, then it must mean that all the creatures, regardless of Spirit-composed Angels or mankind, all are just fallible creations. All can sin, and if GOD allows them, all will. Other than in the hidden secrets of your mind what is there to prevent you from doing sinning, from harboring evil? Some miraculous or magical “thingamabob”?
GOD can’t sin because HE won’t. But that is not the only reason; there is another reason which I will go into later in the the next installment of this discussion when I disclose what the two absolute contexts of sins are.
As mentioned earlier, sin andor evil is not some mysterious force or attribute; it is just a decision from a motivation coupled with a thought of the mind that expresses an intent which translates into some action or communication that harms others in a non-conducive manner, regardless of intent and motivation.
Especially but not exclusively, those against others we have entered into some agreements with you to work towards mutual good and for mutual benefit. That is the first most rudimentary concept of evil (and also sin).
The Angels and mankind all without exception are righteous only because GOD requires them to conduct themselves righteously. With the Angels, this requirement is strictly enforced both in Heaven and on earth. That is why those Angels who openly (as opposed to secretly) sinned were all currently confined in ‘Tartaros’. And once Satan and his Angels rebelled, they would be cast out from Heaven. Their eventual fate on Earth (once JESUS returned in the Second Advent) will be of them being seized and confined, just as the rest of the Angels who had previously rebelled.
With mankind, the righteous requirement was initially enforced; that was why Adam and Eve were banished from the Garden of Eden, and the Antediluvian Age was exterminated except for the one family that GOD preserved from that destruction by keeping one man, Noah, righteous. GOD preserved Noah (and his family) so that GOD’s purpose for creating mankind in HIS image and likeness would remain to be carried out at the end of the process that GOD is using to complete (i.e., to remove all flaws or undesired traits) mankind towards their being born as HIS progeny. After the Antediluvian Age, GOD ordained the Rainbow Covenant over all mankind towards this same purpose that HIS purpose for mankind will still be realized at the appointed time.
The Rainbow Covenant allowed this righteous requirement on mankind to be left unenforced (or in today's term, KIV). It allowed all mankind to become like ‘beasts’ (i.e., the rest of the animals of planet earth), behaving as animals driven entirely by their genetic and biological instinct, hormones, and the chemicals coursing through their bodies.
Nonetheless, HE warned all mankind that HE will still require an account (i.e., hold them fully accountable and answerable) for any evil deed and communication they carried out against their fellow mankind. Because HE created mankind in HIS image and likeness as HIS sacred property, made to HIS specific purpose. And HIS purpose for mankind, for creating them, must be honored and abided by, with the consequence of any failure to do so being required from them. That they must be duly punished at the final reckoning on the day GOD will bring back to life all mankind who had ever lived. That all will be duly punished for every evil act and thought that transpired in their mind against their fellow mankind.
Plainly if GOD does not require righteousness from the creatures, then none of them will be righteous. Every one of the creatures will become evil to the measure of their power parameter and impunity factor. GOD has the means and methods to prevent His creatures, be these Angels or humankind, from becoming evil.
But for the most part, GOD chose not to strictly enforce and impose this requirement, especially where mankind is concerned. Why GOD would mostly choose not to, is actually very simple. If GOD at all times must act to prevent HIS creatures from becoming evil, HE will forever need to be doing so. Not that this will put HIM out in anyway as it would cost nothing and be no effort at all for HIM to do so.
However, once, if ever, HE stops or decides to stop controlling them, all the creatures will over time turn evil.
The question why GOD let Satan become evil when HE could very easily prevent or stop it, is essentially irrelevant. Because the answer is very simple, plain, and obvious.
And this is that every cognitively intelligent creature of GOD will over time become evil if GOD did not prevent them from doing so. It is just a matter of who will be the first one to turn to evil. And when that happens, it will be a matter of time before the rest do so. Everyone will sin and become evil if GOD did not stop them. So why would the question of Satan sinning amd becoming evil be a special case that needed a separate and specific answer?
Unless GOD stops them. Either a few, some, most, or all of them. To know who and which GOD chooses to stop from turning evil, you will need to understand the great scheme of things. What is GOD ultimately doing?
While GOD generally restrains (but does not prevent, much less stop) the Angelic creatures (those who are composed of Spirit) from acting and carrying out evil acts, especially in the Heavenly realm where GOD has his throne. HE does not prevent them from entertaining evil thoughts and agendas.
HE just prevents them from freely doing so by exercising HIS authority (i.e., the enforcement of HIS rule), which automatically stops them from being able to openly express their evil thoughts and contemplation. If they do, the consequences are immediate confinement, stopped from doing anything and carrying out any evil.
On His throne GOD requires all the Angels not just to obey HIM but to be at all times doing all of His will and bidding, all that HE required from them. This is a similar way in human government obedience is enforced, but much less effectively, due to the limitations of governing humans. We are (as termed in this work) severely limited creatures and cannot wield the needed power to exert total control over others. Human governments do not have the needed means to exert the same level of control that GOD can over the Angels.
That is why Satan and his Angels (i.e., Demons) cannot disobey or go against GOD today because once they disobey, whether in Heaven or on Earth, they will be immediately seized and ‘imprisoned’ in ‘Tartaro’ (aka, the ‘abyss’ which is just a place of confinement and restraints).
This is also why once Satan and his ‘angels’ openly rebelled (which Scripture revealed that they will) against GOD in Heaven not too long from today (Revelation 12 verses 7 to 9), Satan and his demons will be cast down from Heaven, down to Earth.
In the Lord’s Prayer, the verse of Matthew chapter 6 verse 10 (‘Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven’), it was explicitly clear that GOD’s will is being done in Heaven. Unlike on Earth, where the faithful are told to pray for GOD’s will to (also) be done on Earth as it is done in Heaven.
While sins and rebellion are forbidden in Heaven; however, on Earth, on the other hand, GOD allows mankind almost free rein to do whatever they want, restrained only by their power to act and the impunity to be able to get away with these acts (including communications).
And do you know why? Why in Heaven, where GOD rules over the creation, the Angels are being ‘controlled’ and prevented from disobeying GOD, but on Earth, all mankind are left practically totally free to do evil to the limit of their power and impunity? It is implicit that Earth is treated differently by GOD for some reasons, some crucially important reasons.
This by the way, is another question almost none of these so-called “Christians”, and all the proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives of the Scripture ever bothered to ask.
Asking questions that provide intelligent answers that are rational and makes sense are the only way for us to find valid questions to address the issues of validity to us and our existence. Questions such as: why are we here, what is GOD's purpose for us, and how can we attain to GOD’s purpose for creating us?.
If we are truly intelligent (as opposed to stupidly intelligent, as are almost all of mankind and even almost all of the Angels), we will be able to comprehend that GOD, being truly all-knowing and all-powerful, nothing is unknown to HIM and nothing at all is impossible for HIM to do. If GOD wants to, HE could in absolute zero (passage of) time at all wipe all creation, both the Spirit realm and our universe, instantly out of existence.
And if you know this, you will of course know that there is literally nothing that GOD cannot do or know.
If we know this, then all that we really need to know is what GOD has been doing when HE created the entire creation, both the Spirit realm and our universe. And why GOD, who can stop anyone and everyone, mankind or Angels, from (doing and being) evil absolutely without limits and constraints, has not done so? Has chosen not to do so.
