Jeremiah 10:10, 12 "But Yehovah is the true
Elohim; He is the living Elohim and the everlasting King. At His

stretched out the heavens."
Jeremiah 31:35 "Thus says Yehovah, who gives

Hebrews 1:1-3 "In these last days has spoken
to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom
also He made the ages (áéùí, p. 11). And He is the
reflected-brightness of His glory and the exact-image5481 of His
essence, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He
had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the
Majesty on high."

created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared
beforehand, that we should walk in them.
Matthew 12:39-40 ". . . no sign shall be
given to it [our generation] but the sign of Jonah the prophet; for
just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the
large-fish, so shall the Son of Man be three days and three nights
in the heart of the earth."
Romans 5:12 "Therefore, just as through one
man sin entered into the world, and death through sin"
Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death"
1 Corinthians 15:52-57 "In a moment, in the
twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound
and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must
put on immortality. But when this corruptible will have put on the
incorruptible, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then
will come about the saying that is written, 'Death is swallowed up
in victory. O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your
sting?' The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law;
But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord
Jesus Christ." (1 Cor 15:52-57)
2 Timothy 1:10 "Our Savior Christ Jesus. . .
abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through

the flesh profits nothing."

the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and
rested on the seventh day; therefore Yehovah blessed the seventh day
and made it holy" (Exodus 20:11)
James 4:4 "You adulteresses, do you not know
that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore
whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of
God." (James 4:4)
Galatians 1:10 "For am I now seeking the
favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were
still trying to please men, I would not be a bond-servant of
Christ." (Galatians 1:10)
1 Peter 2:21-23 "For you have been called for
this purpose, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an
example for you to follow in His steps, who committed no sin, nor
was any deceit found in His mouth; and while being reviled, He did
not revile in return; while suffering, He uttered no threats, but
kept entrusting Himself to Him who judges righteously."
1 Peter 4:1-2 "Therefore, since Christ has
suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same purpose,
because he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, so as
to live the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for the lusts of
men, but for the will of God."
Hebrews 11:24-26 "By faith Moses, when he had
grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter;
choosing rather to endure ill-treatment with the people of God, than
to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin; considering the reproach of
Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he was
looking to the reward."
*Earth:
The Center of Creation
Genesis mentions the earth on the first day (1:1,2) and third day (vv. 10-12),
well before God made the sun, moon, and stars on the fourth day (vv. 14-18);
that the earth was a sphere of water to begin with and that all was made from
this (2 Peter 3:5-7). It was a sin on this planet (3:6) that subjected the whole
universe to groaning and travailing (Romans 8:22). It was to this planet that
the Creator came (John 1:9,10) to die on the cross and deliver not only us, but
also the entire physical cosmos (Romans 8:21,23) from the consequences of that
first sin. God's eternal throne will be on earth (Revelation 21:2,3).
Genesis 8:21-22 "And
Yehovah smelled the soothing aroma; and Yehovah said to Himself, ‘I will never
again curse the ground on account of man, for the intent of man's heart is evil
from his youth; and I will never again destroy every living thing, as I have
done. While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and
summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.’"
*How
Long Creation Will Last
Psalm 148:3-6 "Praise Him, sun and moon;
Praise Him, all stars of light! Praise Him, highest heavens, and the waters that
are above the heavens! Let them Praise the name of Yehovah, for He commanded and
they were created. He has also established them forever and ever; He has made a
decree which will not pass away."
The Current earth and heavens in
which is sin will pass away and then Jesus will recreate the earth and heavens
in which righteousness dwells. That earth and heavens will never pass away
Matthew 24:35 "Heaven and earth will pass away, but My
words shall not pass away."
Hebrew 1:10-12 "And, ‘You, Lord, in the beginning did lay
the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the works of Your hands; They
will perish, but You remainest; and they all will become old as a garment, And
as a mantle You will roll them up; as a garment they will also be changed. But
You are the same, and Your years will not come to an end.’"
Isaiah 66:22 "‘For just as the new heavens and the new
earth which I make will endure before Me,’ declares Yehovah, ‘So your offspring
and your name will endure.’"
Revelation 21:1, 5 "And I saw a new heaven and a new
earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no
longer any sea. . . . And He who sits on the throne said, ‘Behold, I am making
all things new." And He said, "Write, for these words are faithful and true.’"
*
Man Created with the Dinosaurs
Job 40:15-19
"Behold now, Behemoth,
which I made with you; He eats grass like an ox. Behold now, his strength in his
loins, and his power in the muscles of his belly. He bends his tail like a
cedar; the sinews of his thighs are knit together. His bones are tubes of
bronze; his limbs are like bars of iron. He is the first of the ways of El; Let
his Maker bring near his sword."

Yahweh; and there is no Savior besides Me.” (Is 43:10-11)

Reveals the Creator
Job 12:7-10 “But now ask the beasts, and
let them teach you; And the birds of the heavens, and let them tell you. Or
speak to the earth, and let it teach you; And let the fish of the sea declare to
you. Who among all these does not know That the hand of Yehovah has done this,
in whose hand is the life of every living thing, And the breath of all mankind?”
Romans 1:20-22
“For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power
and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has
been made, so that they are without excuse. For even though they know God, they
did not honor Him as God, or give thanks; but they became futile in their
speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing to be wise, they
became fools.”
