Chapter 2, God’s 1,000 Year Kingdom Contingency Plan

All members of Gods family, spirit and human, were designed with the potential to develop and acquire their life providing father's personal qualities. In order to develop these qualities, the element of free will was essential and so granted to all members of the family. God was not interested in a family of programed slave robots. He could derive no pleasure from that, anymore than a genuine human father today would wish for mindless slave children. So free will, the ability to choose, became integral to the family make up. It required rational intellect, the ability to weigh matters and make decisions. The ‘choice’ given to family members was either to choose to develop the ‘image’ of their Father and his qualities or reject this option and choose to develop their own independent ‘image’. Wise use of this gift could bring the greatest of rewards but also the greatest risk. Inevitably, some would ‘choose’ badly, through selfish motivations. On the other hand, without free will, the ‘image’ development of God's qualities within his children would not have been possible.

THE ISSUE OF RIGHT TO RULE

Although both parts of his family were to associate and coexist the Creator intended that each would operate within their own differently designed environments. The designer of this family creation plan understood all needs and requirements for the existence and well being of his family. The interrelating environmental systems of the spirit and physical realms depended on unification and harmonization. Should family members detach themselves from the family they separated themselves from the family support systems. Detachment from these God provided life support systems would expose separatists to very limited and reduced resources. Logically, following alternatives would take individuals outside the family's perfect harmonious environment and bring a drastic reduction in facilities.

So why should any intelligent created being want to go their own way? Again, the question focuses back to this aspect of free will. Inevitably, some would feel that they could do better. Through selfish motivations, some would ‘choose’ not to direct their efforts in developing God's qualities, applying his standards and examples, but instead choose to develop their own ‘image’, determining their own standards and making their own decisions. This alternative independent ‘image’ and failure to reflect their father's would result in conflict, rebellion and being removed from the family.

From God's perspective, there was never any doubt as to the outcome. Yahweh was aware that any independent course would fail because it could not independently provide all the required facilities needed to support perpetual life. Although knowing this, God never forced his way on any members of his family, by saying, “It does not matter what you think. You are wrong and I will make you do it my way.” If God had taken this position he would be removing their free choice. He could not say, "you have free choice so long as you choose correctly but not when you do not". That is not free will but selected will. All family members had the freedom to question, “Could we not do better on our own?” If only selected will was operated God would have needed to suppress all these types of thoughts and questions throughout eternity. The truth needed to be established for all time.

At a critical point in the development of God's family plan there arose a group of Sons of the family who chose to forcefully question God's position on these family matters and formed an alliance of self motivated individuals from both sides of the family in order to do this.

Among some of the accusations brought against the family father were:

1. God enforces his will by pressuring family members to obey his rulings because he is more powerful; the family creator rules us through his might and is therefore a tyrant.

2. God states that his way is the only way, without giving us an alternative choice; therefore the family Father is an oppressive dictator.

3. God claims his way is the only correct way, without providing proof; God could be lying to his family, he could be a liar.

As these claims had been made publicly they had to be resolved publicly once and for all time. To do this God established a supreme court with a universal public hearing. The case to be tried was the issue of ‘right to rule’, raised in conjunction with the aspect of free will. The court was required to establish a legal president as to who morally had the legal and just right to formulate and apply rulings for the benefit of the whole family, God or individuals.

The family Father Yahweh intended that once he had presented and proved His case, the evidence would stand on record that neither spirit nor human beings can successfully govern themselves independently of the creator's help and oversight. The case records could then be sighted to any future would-be challenger of God's proven just sovereignty, and truthfulness. Any future challenges could be immediately dealt with, referring back to the evidence recorded in the transcripts of the court case, and precedence applied, thus avoiding any further stress and pain to the ecology of creation.

The court case was set for a fixed period of time in order to hear all the relevant evidence and establish the truth. All evidence and arguments would be laid out and examined so that a fair, just and true verdict could be proved and pronounced. This is why the contingency plan needed to incorporate a specific time allocation for the court to prove all accusations true or false beyond all doubt.

REBELLION BRAKES OUT

Up to the end of the sixth 7,000 year period of earths preparation everything was on schedule and approved by God as up to his required standard. So what happened at the beginning of the seventh period that changed everything so dramatically? An individual Son from the spirit section of the family' by means of a contrived rebellious alliance, challenged God. This spirit opposer formed a rebel alliance with the first ‘Man’ of the physical part of the family, presenting a double-sided family challenge. Both opposers exercised their individual free will to ‘choose’ to go it alone and made independent decisions to challenge God. After the challenges were made and the first actions of rebellion had taken place, the contingency plan became operational and the universal court case was on.

From the very beginning the human family had everything provided to enjoy life to an extremely high standard. As the spirit members of the family, so to the physical family members where offered the opportunity of non-ending and non-aging life. However, humans were put fully in the picture by God. The first Man was firmly informed of the consequences that would follow if he or any of his offspring stopped operating within with the family circle and chose an independent course of action. They were advised strongly against determining independently what is considered right and what wrong, or what is good and what is bad with the dire consequences of such a course.

God informed ‘Man’ that He had selected a tree as a benchmark to determine who was justly entitled to set the standards for good and for bad. If the terms were accepted it represented the acknowledgement of physical family members, that God has the just right to rule on what is to be set as the standard of good and what is to be ruled as bad. It would have been wise to have respected His standards and left the marker tree alone to show God they were happy not to make these decisions themselves, symbolised by not partaking of the marker tree of knowledge.

Wisdom dictates they should have been prepared to recognize God's Supreme Patriarchal position, his greater wisdom and knowledge and leave the important standard making decisions to him. However, if they should choose to determine for themselves what is good and what is bad, they were warned that they would suffer the consequences; they would fail and their lives would come to an end within a maximum period of 1000 years or ‘one God day' (2 Pet 3:8). If on the other hand they had accepted God as having the right to rule and worked with Him they would have had gifted upon then the right to everlasting life (Gen 3:22). By an independent course they would be separating themselves from the family; they would also bring their yet to be born offspring into a similar alienated position, passing on to them only a limited inheritance of a short substandard life.

MANIPULATED CONSPIRACY

A conspiracy was hatched by a member of the spirit side of God's family involving the first human couple. The instigating contender calculated that it was imperative to recruit the first human couple. The rebel instigator figured that provided he could get the first human couple to side with him, then all the following generations of their yet unborn offspring would also be recruited into the rebel camp. This human couple had to be coerced to join the rebellion immediately after they were married but before their first child was conceived. Because if a child was conceived before the parents joined the rebellion, according to the laws of inheritance this child would be outside the conspiracy. To gain the best advantage it was imperative for the spirit instigator to have all mankind involved in the conspiracy. A very narrow window of opportunity existed for this, possibly no more than a few weeks right at the beginning of the seventh 7,000 year ‘day’ period.

The instigating rebel formulated an extremely subtle inducement plan, incorporating accusations and deception to get ‘Man’ to rebel against God. This rebel later became known as Satan or Devil, these titles translated from the Greek meaning the ‘accusing (satan) opposer (devil)’.

The attack was then aimed at the weakest and less experienced half of ‘Man’. The male part (Adam) had probably been created some years before the female part (Eve) and during this time Adam would have been extensively educated by God. Eve was created as the final task accomplished before the end of the sixth day when they were united in marriage and given the instructions to fill the earth with their offspring. Adam was left with the responsibility to educate his other half and warn her about the serious consequences of taking an independent course.

As soon as the seventh day period started the attack was made at the weakest point. Satan introduced some contradicting ideas to Eve while she was alone using a reptile dummy to communicate through while cloaking his identity. The protagonist questioned the woman on the information God had given to them on who set the standards, or who decided what was to be considered right and wrong, good or bad. The woman accurately repeated the instructions that had been passed to her by her husband; that ignoring God's rulings and determining independently for themselves what the standards of good and bad should be, would result in their certain death (Gen 3:1-3).

This much older accusing and opposing spirit proceeded to contradict what God had said, saying to the woman, "No; if you make your own decisions as to what is considered good and what bad you will not die, God isn't telling you everything. In fact, from the time you start determining your own standards, deciding for yourself what is right and what is wrong, what is good and what is bad, you will become more like God, self determining. There is nothing wrong with this, you should do it. God knows this but does not want you to know it" (Genesis 3:4-5).

The younger, less experienced half, fell innocently into this deceptive trap, and was completely fooled by this cunning manipulation of the truth. “The serpent deceived Eve by its cunning.” (2 Cor 11:3). By means of deception, she was used unwittingly by the rebellion. Later, thinking she had done the right thing, she encouraged her husband to follow the same course of action.

Although realizing that Eve may have been lied to, Adam still decided to follow her conviction. “Adam was not deceived, but the woman was completely deceived when she disobeyed” (Timothy 2:14). Adam should have corrected her misunderstanding of the situation and reminded her of the facts and then taken the issue before God to sort out. Why didn't he? Possibly, he allowed his judgement to be clouded by her, wanting to stay with her regardless of the consequences. He may have convinced himself that maybe she was right and it seemed attractive to make himself the standard decider. Whatever the situation was, once he joined Eve in deliberately disobeying God, he became a 'willing' rebel against God so now both parts of ‘Man’ had entered the conspiracy.

Later, when confronted by God on the issue, Adam tried to blame his wife but the guilt was obvious and his excuse futile. He had, as a perfect Son of God, become an opposer to his Father's instructions. He could no longer be called a Son of God having rebelled against God and His family. The first Man was now on his own. They would start to feel the effects of not doing things God's way. Adam, Eve and their yet unborn offspring had disinherited themselves from God's family and thereby the entire human family became independent of God and in contention with him. From now on life would be difficult as they gradually wore out to death. The first ‘Man’ had taken himself and the yet unborn human family under a death sentence. “Just as this substandard condition (imperfection or sin) started in the world through one man, and so death, spread to all humans because they all inherited death from their first parents due to their degenerating condition (sin)” (Romans 5:12). Although Adam lived for 930 human years, he still died within the ‘God day’ predicted period of 1,000 years.

At the same time God confronted Man about the rebellion He also pronounced a judgement on the opposing spirit instigator, stating that his course of action would also result in his and his followers destruction. At this point all the family, spirit and physical, became involved in the universal court case, to try by the laws of justice whether God was truthful or a liar; whether the continuation of life depended on him; whether God as father and creator has the justified right to rule the entire family.

God's contingency plan now became operational, and the first prophecy was declared. So confident was God in the outcome he was able to predict the developments, consequences and results of the whole situation. This first prophecy stated that the spirit rebels would be proved wrong in the universal court case and guilty themselves of lies, deception, conspiracy and murder. It predicted that the offspring or seeds from the remaining loyal members of the spirit family would become conflicting enemies with these rebels. It prophesied that the rebels would in due course inflict a minor battle victory on the seed of the loyal part of the family but eventually the loyal part would win the war between them eventually removing all ex-family independent rebels (Gen 3:15).

Our first human parents, although they did not instigate the rebellion, became willing recruits of it. Rejecting their family Father they independently determined what were to be the rules for deciding what is good and what is bad. The instigator of the rebellion was successful in finding a free choice weakness in our first parents by encouraging them to choose and take a similar independent course of action. Once recruited into the rebellion they disinherited themselves from God's family. As a result, the human family inherited a substandard estate and along with it the condition of ageing, sickness, and dying. An estate that reflected themselves rather than the creator, this estate was then passed on to each successive generation, and as each generation passed it devolved further.

(Appendix 8B acquired genetic defects)

God knew that man was not able alone to sustain perpetual life; he should, he had created it. He knew they would not independently be capable of successfully ruling themselves deciding what is good and what is bad, just take a look at the world today. The entire created family need to witness that God is truthful when he stated that family individuals cannot govern themselves independently of him. To sustain everlasting life needs God's parental oversight. Once these issues have been proved in the Universal Court Case, God will be fully justified in establishing His rule over both the spirit and human parts of the family even if some choose not to agree with it.

CONTINGENCY PLAN

The contingency plan needed to incorporate a rectifying mechanism in order to restore and complete the family creation plan at present still diverted by rebellion. The diversion needed to be corrected within the same allocated 7,000 year time period for completing the human part of the family had not rebellion come in. After 49,000 years of working on the earth the human part of the family project was to have been completed. Following this, God will take control for a special period of 1,000 years during which all things will be brought to there rightful conclusion (Rev 22:1-2). The whole thing taking a total of 50,000 years, or a great Jubilee cycle ( Lev 25:1-17 ).

The end result would be the same as originally intended, although by a much more self inflicted painful route. The mechanisms incorporated within this contingency plan will bring about completion of the physical family with humans filling and populating the earth reflecting the image of God's qualities rather than their own. It will result in the entire earth having been developed and cultivated up to God's original required standard. The end result will still be as intended.

The two objectives of the contingency plan;

1) On one side to hear all the negative charges put forth against God, examine any and all evidence to these charges. On the other to examine all the evidence proving the truthfulness of God. To prove the charges true or false for all time.

2) To restore and complete God's Family to its original intended condition.

The crucial issues of self governing or loyalty to God's ruling will be addressed. The resolution of these issues will then form the legal basis for the restoration of the family. This family restoration will be brought by forming a new Universal Government that will restore theocracy, God's rule to all the family. Members of this Government will be individuals who have proven worthy loyal witnesses to God in this Universal court case.

We will examin next how this 7,000 year contingency plan has been developing over the past 6,000 years. How the issues are being resolved and a legal basis set on which to restore the family creative plan.
