So, how can this be? You see, God had two sons. The Bible says, Jesus was the only begotten of the Father. "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." (John 1:14) By the same principle, God told Abraham, "And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of." (Genesis 22:2) Even though, Abraham had two sons, Isaac and Ishmael, in the eyes of God, he only had one. In the Mind of God, He knew that the first man Adam would fall. That is why God said, "Replenish the earth." "And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth." (Genesis 1:28) In the vastness of God's knowledge, it all existed, because God foreknew everything.
God knows everything about you. You may pull a lot over on Brother West, but you will not do that with Him. There is nothing new under the sun. "The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun." (Ecclesiastes 1:9) God has already ordained a plan.
God has set in motion rules and principles, the seasons, the earth in its orbit! God has also made two great lights to rule, one by day, and one by night. The one by night depends on the sun for its existence and light. |
