Only a Few

By Tadzik Zdan

In but a little while the Lvanon will be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field regarded as a forest. On that day the deaf will hear the words of a book, and out of gloom and darkness the eyes of the blind will see. The humble will again rejoice in ADONAI and the poor exult in the Holy One of Israel. Isaiah 29:17-19.

Is Only a Few the book referred to in this verse? It very well may be. Only a Few does open the eyes of the deceived, the sleeping, and the ones who cannot see the truth in the Word of God.

The Word of God has been twisted and manipulated by man, for their own motives, for the past two-thousand years. However, now that the end-times are creeping up on us, light must be shed on the twisted lies and deceptions that Satan has created. Truth, understanding, and righteousness are the ways of God. Ignorance to the truth only shows that one has not put forth the effort required; the effort God is looking for; the effort which shows that one has truly put The Almighty first in his or her life.

The Bible speaks of, both, the righteousness of God and the sins of man. Regrettably, many, over the centuries, have aligned themselves with what was sinfully corrupted by man, making it their doctrine, and therefore, forsaking the righteousness of God. These twisted doctrines have grown to appear righteous to believers, but they are not righteous in the eyes of God. Half-truths are merely lies and the God of the Bible cannot accept lies, even if they are done in His name. Our walk with God is a walk toward righteousness. The job of the Holy Spirit is to show us truth, and all believers must decide to walk in truth (love the truth), or live with the lies. In other words, many have been living a "lukewarm" life for God.

In Only a Few, Tadzik Zdan explains that God is a loving God, but, His love is contained within His righteousness. God loves all whom He created, but if they do not abide by His righteousness; His laws; and His teachings, He has no choice but to condemn the unrighteous ones (even if they have been deceived into thinking they are righteous to Him). It exposes the sinful path of Gods believers throughout the centuries, as foretold within the prophecies contained in the Bible. The keys to the New Testament are contained within its parables. They show the plight of the believers and non-believers alike and are the keys to eternal life.

Only a Few systematically explains the deceptions that have been implemented over the centuries, and what God is looking for in His righteous ones. The true -and most biblically sound- interpretations of the parables are exposed; all to the righteous glory of God. Everyone who has read the Bible, or even simply owns a bible, needs the enlightenment of this book so that they may stand righteous to the Creator and shed the lies of the past (the eyes of the blind will see). Only a Few celebrates the righteousness and greatness of the Almighty, and it is a must read for the times we live in. So, if God is truly important in your life, this book will be the oil for your lantern.

For such a time as this, Only a Few should accompany every Bible. May Gods righteousness be bestowed upon you.

Tadzik Zdan

About The Author First time author, Tadzik Zdan, has always been very big on letting people make their own decisions. Often people, who have this motto in life, also tend to not want to give advice or enter into deep discussion, but Zdan, shines a light on scripture and gives revelation, to the reader, that can free him or her from the traps and false comfort that Christianity has set. This book is especially written for those who take, or want to take, their relationship with the Creator, of the Universe, to a higher level, who long for more knowledge and information to fuel their, personal, spiritual walk. This is not a ‘self-help’ book. Though old Christian hymns used to ask versions of the old question: “are you ready for the Lord if He returns today?” most people don’t really know if they are, or not. If you seriously want to know if you, and your family, are ready for ‘the end of the age,’ you need to read this book, a message from God.

Preface

In all sincerity, the Holy Spirit inspired me to write this book. The manner it came about and how it unfolded, as I was writing it, could be by no other than the Holy Spirit. Initially, I did not want to write it at all. A short while after I began writing, I stopped for a couple of months because I felt there was a piece of it missing. But, the urging of the Holy Spirit was constant—always reassuring me that I was on the right track. I was shown the missing piece of information and drawn back to the computer to start writing again. It took me about a year and a half to complete the book—writing about an hour or two most every night. I completed this book in 2005 and revised it to its final form in 2009. It was frustrating because I believed I could write it in about two or three weeks, if I had the time. Now, in retrospect, the Lord, as always, knew best because He laid out the format, for the book, as I was writing it. Initially I made a plan of how the chapters and topics would be written, but the Lord changed it as I went along. While I was writing one chapter, He was giving me the information about the next chapter. This book is of the Spirit of God and, although I am a carpenter by trade and writing is not my forte, I am a lover of the truth.

Introduction

On that day the deaf will hear the words of a book, and out of gloom and darkness the eyes of the blind will see.

Isaiah 29:18 CJB/Complete Jewish Bible

Whether you are a Christian, Jew, Messianic believer, or not a Bible believer at all, this book can benefit you. It is written in a progressive manner, so even if you strongly disagree with any statements made throughout it, do continue reading because it should make sense as the book unfolds and in its conclusion. As is made clear in the Book of Revelation, one is either a member of the ‘Church of Philadelphia,’ or one is not, and if one is not, the truths of this book will fall on deaf ears. The Church of Philadelphia is the name God uses, in the Book of Revelation, chapter 3, verses 7-13, to represent, prophetically, who His true congregation is—His children. I start with various, logical, rationale for why everyone should believe what is written in the Bible. I also explain the way we should interpret the Bible, who God is, and what He expects from us. Step by step, I point out and explain the deception that Satan has created in this world. This book deals with the righteousness of the Lord God of Israel. Many believers dwell on the love of the Lord and give little regard to God’s righteous ways. This is why the state of ‘the faith’ is at the point that it is, and if you have not noticed, the state of ‘the faith’ is not where it should be. All believers should know that the Lord loves them, and He does. He loves all mankind and desires that none would perish. Yet, many will perish. Why? It is because of the Lord’s righteousness. It has always been about the Righteousness of God. In the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve sinned against God’s righteousness, not against His love. They were given a law, by God, to not eat from the tree in the midst of the garden (the tree of knowledge). The Lord gives commands and judgments by His righteousness. His love toward us is constant. Whether we are sinners, or not, He still loves us. It is by His love that He gave us atonement for our sins. Without His love, we would be dead in our sins and could have no life, everlasting, with Him. If believers simply dwell in the love of the Lord, but in His eyes they are straying from His righteousness, then He will address this issue by His righteousness. Even we ourselves must love one another, but it must be done within the righteous ways of the Lord. You know that even the wicked can love one another, but it means nothing if they are not living in God’s righteousness. They may think they are ‘good people,’ and in the eyes of the world they may be, but they are just being manipulated by Satan. He is the god of this world until the Messiah returns. Satan does not have a problem with using love to meet his objective because his battle with the Lord is about righteousness, not love, and he is using people in an attempt to defeat God. Satan knows God’s love for us is great and he hoped that God would bend on His righteousness for the sake of love. However, for God to compromise His righteousness would constitute an act of lying, which is something He cannot do. This is something we, also, must not do. We cannot bend on the ways of God, for the sake of love, or we have been defeated by Satan. Love and righteousness must be balanced, just as it is with the Lord. If you have love without God’s righteousness, you have nothing. That is why you must fear the Lord and learn His ways, for His ways are straight and narrow.

Heaven can be entered only through the narrow gate! The highway to hell is broad and its gate is wide enough for all the multitudes who choose its easy way. But the Gateway to Life is small, and the road is narrow, and only a few ever find it.

Matthew 7:13-14 TLB

When we look at the spiritual aspect of our existence, we need to, also, always look at it in a logical and mathematical way. Mathematics and logic go hand in hand. Science tells us that all existence has a mathematical makeup, therefore it points to an intelligent design. Life cannot be merely a coincidence, being in such a structured platform. According to the common, accepted scientific models, after the Earth came into existence, even simple life forms should have taken a much longer time to have sprung up, than the actually length of time that it did take. The odds against life having come into existence in such short order are high. So, it makes sense to believe that a higher power had a hand in the process. With that in mind, even to begin to understand this ‘higher power’ (God), we must always look for truth and stick by it because truth is knowledge and lies are not. This is an important significance when it comes to Adam and Eve’s having eaten from the tree of knowledge. From that event, consequently, we have been given the ability to learn from our existence, have knowledge of good and evil; right and wrong; truth and lies, and we were also given free will. Each person must live or die by his or her own decisions.

Some may say that there is archeological evidence that there where a number of civilizations prior to the Bibles Adam and Eve. This may or may not be true. But the true fact of the matter is whatever went on, on this Earth, prior to the God of the Bible breathing life into the man called Adam is that God was not satisfied with what was going on in the Earth, so He decided to start something new.

The Bible was given to mankind, by God, as a means for teaching and leading us toward the righteous ways of God. God uses this platform in a manner so as to not eliminate mankind’s right to free choice (free will) whilst, also accomplishing what He knows is best for mankind in regards to our relationship with Him (and thus, eternal life). This can only be done through prophecy—the hidden messages of the Bible—because only the ones who truly seek will find. This is what it means to love the Father with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. When we follow truth, we elevate closer to God; when we follow lies we progress closer to death (spiritual death). If we consider the concept of truth and lies, and if that is the quest and purpose of this life, then it makes it possible for us to understand why God is looking for the ones who have a determinate—black or white—outlook on life. Just as a standard equation only has one answer that is right (like 2 + 2 = 4), right is right, wrong is wrong, and half-truths are unacceptable. Furthermore, truth will always be shown to you. It is up to you to accept it, or denounce it.

God stands back and lets us make our own choices in life, but, at the same time, He gives us hints and tidbits of Himself and His plan, so as to draw us unto Himself. He does this all in a manner so as to not impede on our free will choices. It must be our choice: to follow His ways and seek out His truths, or to just live our lives according to our own standards—oblivious to higher power and/or higher truth. This is where the Bible comes in, and I must say, at this point, that Christianity is not what God intended. Christians are dead wrong.

Through archeological finds and other historical records, many biblical events have been legitimately proven to have occurred as they are depicted, and more are being found to be accurate as the years go by. Unlike any other religious book or concept, the Bible is unique because of its prophetic nature. The whole book is about future events (whether obvious, or not). The Bible’s prophecies are one-hundred percent accurate, which, by mathematical standards, is next to impossible. By that measure alone, the Bible’s credibility is formidable. Again, no other religion can boast of this prophetic nature; most all are primarily philosophies on how to live. The Bible is the means by which God has chosen to help us seek truth and to seek Him out. However, it is not a book for everyone because, having full free will, some read it and decide it is but a collection of ancient stories; some read it and think that holiness or salvation rests in love and being good; and, still, others find it to be nonsense. It is, each, our own choice to make. What Jews, Christians, and most all others do not realize is that it is a book of hidden (but able to be found) knowledge, through prophecy. It can be proven many times, through the words of the Bible, that, if one does not know prophecy, then he or she does not know God, regardless of whether one thinks he or she does, or not. I will address this issue, in detail, in the book. There can only be one way to Heaven—one true religion—just like the equation 2 + 2 = 4 has only one answer. Prophecy helps illuminate the way to Heaven; it is the language of GOD. His language is found in any prophecy that is one-hundred percent accurate because only God can be that accurate. This is what Only a Few is about and the crux of how the Bible should be interpreted.

Chapter 1

Do You Believe the Bible

is the Word of God?

Everything in the universe, including its form and function, can be thought of in a mathematical format. Though humans do not have all the answers yet, there is a mathematical equation for everything in the universe. Mathematics is balance; gravity is balance; atoms are balance; the whole universe is in perfect balance. If a planet spun out of its orbit by even one degree, it would wreak havoc in its solar system. The balance would be distorted and result in chaos. Even science and math point to God The Creator. Some Bible believers are in need of learning to acknowledge this as well. Many believers need to, for their own benefit, take God more seriously.

Both God and the Bible are logical, and He will deal with this world, and people, in a logical manor. It would do us all good to know Him and His ways. Despite seeking logic and intelligence, I am not a Gnostic. Though they claim to base their beliefs on intelligence, Gnostics lack truth and humility (along with other false religions). They think that intelligence is a matter of seeking knowledge through the acceptance of all doctrines and religions and that the true god does not judge mankind. They say that the teaching of a God, who will judge, is a false teaching of a false God who is actually a demon—come now. Gnosticism is similar to Free Masonry (an organization that goes by several other names and is affiliated with many other organizations). Do not misconstrue the name Masonic for Messianic. The word Messianic comes from the word Messiah (Anointed One, Savior), and true Messianics are believers in Messiah and His Word.

God is The Creator of all things and He governs the laws of what people call science—in nature and the universe itself. In fact, it is becoming increasingly well known that modern science and the Bible actually support each other’s teachings and beliefs. This is important because, in our modern-day world, with so much information at our disposal, people need to remember that God is real, balanced, and logical in the way He created the universe and sustains every atom and molecule. The same way that He has these attributes in His governance of the universe, He is, also, righteous in His ways according to His laws and His Word (the Bible), and for the same reasons. A good book to read, to find out more about how there is actually total harmony between the Bible and Modern science, is Genesis and the Big Bang : The Discovery of Harmony Between Modern Science and the Bible, by Jewish physicist Gerald Schroeder Ph.D. He explains a very logical, mathematically accurate, and totally plausible reason why what looks like a huge discrepancy (between how long it seems to have been since creation, according to the Bible, and how long it seems to have been, according to science), actually, is not a discrepancy at all. It has to do with the fact that the universe has been expanding exponentially since creation (or since, as science calls it, the big bang). In short, the length of time it took for God to create it (six days), plus the time it has been since then, is biblically accurate from the perspective of the point of its origin (where God was) and scientifically accurate from the perspective of where we are in the universe right now. The numbers are profoundly precise with respect to each other (the Bible and science). It is for this reason, and many others, that scientists and theologians should be willing to learn from each other. That is not to say, though, that there is credence to the theory of evolution as regards to human beings. God did create Humans, as they are, in His image.

And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.

Genesis 1:24

This verse shows that God did use evolution as a process within the rest of His creating. God told the earth to bring forth life, so it is only common sense that the life that the earth itself brings forth evolves—it does not just pop up out of thin air. Though, one must realize that it was God Himself who preprogrammed any and all evolutionary processes the Earth brings forth. An examination of the time span of evolution shows that there are certain gaps within it that make the theory weak as an overall explanation to life. These gaps are where God intervened—altering the course to make things progress according to His ideals. The earth can only bring forth life to a degree—limited within its boundaries—whereas God has no boundaries, other than the ones He sets for Himself. Adam and Eve were created by God as stated in Genesis, chapter two. This is one of the points where God stepped in and started a new course. It is the reason evolutionists will never find the so-called ‘missing link.’

Author, Alan Alford writes:

Homo sapien has acquired modern anatomy, language capability, and a sophisticated brain well beyond the needs of its everyday existence—apparently, in defiance of the laws of Darwinism.

Author and surgeon, Leonard Shlain writes:

The change in the size of the brain from erectus to sapien seems to have occurred in an evolutionary instant. Early specimens of homo erectus, our immediate predecessor, averaged a brain volume of 900 cubic centimeters. Our brains occupy, on average, fourteen hundred cubic centimeters. This one third difference represents a huge increase in brain tissue over the astonishingly brief period [ . . . ].

The human brain’s major design modification occurred primarily in the frontal lobes—the part of the brain that controls such uniquely human behavior as speech, long range planning, delayed gratification and complex puzzle solving.

These two authors are in favor of evolution, but, in their writings, they come to a conclusion that only points to God.

M.I.T.—trained physicist and bible scholar, Gerald L. Schroeder writes:

Following this explosion of multi-cellular life at the start of the Cambrian era, for some puzzling reason, no other new phyla (basic anatomies) ever appeared. Classes of animals developed within each phyla, but they always retained the basic body plan of their particular phylum. (regarding Genesis 1:20)

Dr. Schroeder also writes, regarding the genes that control eyesight in these phyla that have visual systems: The paired domain of the gene contains 130 amino acids. The match of these amino acids between insects and human is 94 percent! Between zebra fish and Humans the match is 97 percent. Could five genetically separate phyla have evolved these similar genes, individually, by chance? There are twenty different amino acids available to fill each of the 130 spaces on the gene. This means there are 20 to the power of 130 or 10 to the power of 170 possible combinations. There are one hundred million billion billion billion billion billion billion billion billion billion billion billion billion billion billion billion billion billion billion billion ways the amino acids can arrange themselves in those 130 slots on the gene. The number far exceeds the number of particles in the entire universe. Any combination is possible one time. Getting the same or even similar combinations a second time is the statistical problem.

We are not related to the caveman and/or so-called ‘primates.’ Humans are a new creation—created in God’s image—with a higher ability for understanding and reasoning. This fact can more easily be understood, in the Bible, when we separate Genesis chapter one and chapter two. Theologians think that God, in Genesis 2, is just repeating the description of how He created man in Genesis 1. Adonai is telling us how He created man, but He is not repeating what He told us in Genesis 1. Why would God have to repeat Himself? A more consistent and historically accurate understanding would be that the man and woman, whom were created and told to be fruitful in the first chapter of Genesis, were Neanderthal or Cro-Magnon man who, by archeological fact, definitely dwelled on this Earth some time ago. Adonai created Adam and Eve separate from the ‘men and women,’ which evolved on the Earth. God wanted to create a man in His own image and with a higher intellect than that of the ‘evolution man.’ It is what is meant by the words, and [there was] not a man to till the ground, in Genesis 2:5. Adonai also breathed the breath of life into Adam, which gave him His soul. The Cro-Magnons were ‘soulless man,’ which would be the biggest distinction between the two. Separating these two chapters, in Genesis, does not cause inconsistency with the rest of the Bible, and moreover, it reveals, for us, plenty of historical evidence for the purpose of the existence of man as being determined and distinct from evolution.

With regards to that on Earth, which has evolved, people, who contend over the probability of the theory of evolution and randomness versus that of creationism or determinism, should not be at odds. Creation and evolution are, both, part of the same thing. God created all things, but, who are we to question how He chooses to create? It is similar to a carpenter who wants to create a table. First, he must choose the kind of wood he would like the table to be made of, and then, go out and cut down that specific kind of tree. If the tree was not available, he would have to plant the tree first. But, what if the seed, for this kind of tree, did not exist? Then, he must first manipulate another tree seed to create the kind of tree that will yield the wood for the table. With regard to God’s creation, we could continue this backtracking right up to the origin of the atoms. If the end result for the carpenter was the table, but nothing really existed prior, then all would have to be created before the table could be made. That said, if God wanted to create man as His end result (whom will reside in the third dimension) then the third dimension, and everything in it, would have to be created first. What is more, in God’s mind, the end result has already been created. Time is irrelevant to Him. He set a course for the creation of the universe, within the boundaries of the third dimension. As is depicted in the Bible, God lets things run their own course until the point that He chooses to intervene. It is feasible that He started with the Big Bang and all things were set on that course until He chose to alter the course. Evolution was part of that plan. He still created all things. He created the process that makes one thing spawn from the next, which still makes Him The Creator of all. Another example would be, a bowler rolls a bowling ball down the lane to knock over the pins. Knocking over all the pins is the desired result. The bowler starts the process by providing the energy to accelerate the ball down the lane. It is the ball that strikes the pins down, not the bowler, yet the bowler is responsible for the outcome. Without the initial energy to start the process, there would not be an outcome. Evolution is part of creationism; evolution is intelligent design because God created evolution.

But what does all this mean to us? When we want more of God’s wisdom, it is one of the ways that we are actually desiring more of Him, our Creator. This is to His glory, and He will give His wisdom unto those who seek in righteousness. I already know there is a God; now, I want to know more of His ways so my faith can grow exponentially! In other words, this stuff should get us excited. Furthermore, anything less would be the same as one burying his or her head in the sand.

A certain Jewish theologian, Moses Maimonides, wrote, as many as one thousand years ago, about topics such as how the energy of the universe was always existent and that the universe is indeed expanding. He came to these conclusions solely by studying Scripture. Now, over one thousand years later, scientists are coming to the same conclusions and would be wiser to know the Word of God. According to astrophysicists, at the beginning of the universe, its primordial volume, or the mass of all its energy, contracted. Due to this contraction, an expansion occurred, which was what scientists now call the big bang. But, the initial energy was always there. The universe contracted for reasons unknown to science, and the contraction caused the expansion. By logical reasoning of physical data, science can prove that the universe will continue to expand until an outside force, unknown to science, stops it. Some believe that the universe itself has cyclical expansion—expanding to a specific degree, then contracting to the point of an explosion, causing another expansion. In any case, the energy of the universe has always existed, whether in a large or small mass. It just started to contract, and then, expand for no apparent reason. The scientists who believed in a cyclical universe, thought that the rate of expansion would decrease and eventually the universe would start to contract. Recent discoveries show that this is not so. In the last ten years, the expansion rate of the universe has increased, not decreased, and it has increased by a lot. So what is the purpose? If the energy of the universe always existed, it is in perfect balance, it started to contract and expand for no apparent reason, and it has increased its rate of expansion for no apparent reason, it cannot be random and incidental. For everything to have such a calculated existence, there must be a purpose for it all. So, what else do we know that has always existed and is in perfect balance? The answer is God. The Bible says God is, always was, and always will be and that He is what holds everything in perfect balance. God spoke the universe into existence. His Word has power. The energy is His.

Let us look at the Bible from a logical sense:

1) By and large, scholars and historians accept the Bible as a legitimate and reliable historical record. What other history book accurately prophesies its own future? The Bible has one-hundred percent accurately foretold its own future and still is right now. From start to finish, the Bible is over one third prophetical, and it has never been wrong. The mathematical odds against that happening are astronomical.

2) The Bible is actually a compilation of many books, by forty different people, at different times in history, all having consistent insight about God and accurately prophesying the future. One would think there has to be a correlation there. The mathematical odds of this happening are low.

3) History also agrees, because of other records, that Yeshua, Messiah, was a real person (Christians call Him Jesus Christ, but when the Lord walked the Earth He was called Yeshua. This is a very pertinent point that I will be addressing in detail later). If we look at His existence logically and with common sense, it is improbable that He was just someone with a death wish. The torture which He endured, even for that time period, was more than anyone would want to endure. Messiah had to have a true purpose for His life. He was not just someone who got carried away with His religion. He fulfilled Bible prophecy, to the letter, with the time and place of His birth; the things that He did; the words that He spoke; and even the method and time of His death. These prophesies were written hundreds of years before His birth. No one, but God, could orchestrate that. At times, when He did miracles, thousands of people were present, yet there are no written accounts to the contrary and there were plenty of people who wanted to get rid of Him. The odds against Yeshua fulfilling Bible prophecy, to the letter, are extremely high.

4) The fact is that the Bible is one-hundred percent accurate in all its predictions. Some skeptics say it is not very accurate and that it is just how one interprets it. But, what the Bible has said would happen, has happened and what it says is still to come, will happen. It is the timing that is regularly up to interpretation, but if you look at the Bible with a Jewish perspective—as the Bible is a Jewish book—you will know the timing also. The odds against, even, twenty predictions coming true are astronomical, and there are over ten thousand prophecies (predictions) in the Bible.

5) The Bible predicted that, in the end-times, Israel would become a nation again. Israel became a nation, this time, in 1948, after 2000 years without a country and about twenty-five hundred years having not been under its own rule, making it the only nation or people to ever do that in all of history. Why would this only happen to the people whom the Bible refers to as God’s people? Is it merely a coincidence? I think not!

6) There have been mathematical studies done on the original Hebrew texts that show that they have the same sequential, numerical, pattern in the writings. This means that, to have forged this document, one would have had to have chosen his words according to the number sequence, all while also making his writings make sense. Furthermore, the same pattern shows up in each book of the scripture, no matter which person scribed it. The sequence is not common in any other Hebrew writing except the Bible. The odds against this happening, by chance, are beyond comprehension.

7) In the mountains of Israel, there are large Hebrew letters written on the surface. These letters are only visible by satellite. We are the first generation to be able to see them. They mean, this land is blessed by me. Why is this consistent with the Bible? Who wrote these letters? How could ancient Jews have written these massive letters in mountainous terrain, which could only be visible from high above the Earth? Is it just a hoax? I think not!

Summation

Seven extreme long shots have been presented to you, and there are many more. So, what is your opinion? Is the Bible a fluke? Looking at it logically, and even mathematically, one long shot coming true could be acceptable and two coming true would be possible, although highly unlikely. The odds of three astronomical long shots coming true is really a stretch to believe. But, these seven long shots coming true—all related to one book—is so completely against the odds that it is unfathomable. It could never happen, yet it has. The only way it could happen is if God had His hand on it. The mathematical sequencing alone, in the writings of the Bible, is so complex that it could not have been written by humans. However, it does show that there is but one author, and that author is God. It has to be of divine nature and it is shown to us right in the first verse.

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Genesis 1:1

This verse, essentially, speaks of time, space and matter—often referred to, in scientific terms, as the space-time continuum. What is also a unique feature about this first verse is that, in the language it was written in (Hebrew), it has seven multiples of seven. Although there are over five-hundred places in the Bible where seven, or multiples of seven, are used intentionally (because it is the number of God), this particular verse is the only one with seven multiples of seven. The chance of this happening by accident or by chance is 1 in 823,543.

No one or thing on Earth could ever be one-hundred percent accurate in predicting the future. God shows His divine glorious plan through the prophecies of the Bible, and I plan to show, with this book, that honoring God’s plan—His prophecies—is worshipping Him.

[ . . . ] Worship God; for the testimony of Yeshua is the Spirit of prophecy.

Revelation 19:10

God loves to reveal Himself to His children, and when we seek Him He reveals more. When we seek Him it is to His glory. He loves us deeply and keeps reaching out to us. However, it is up to each individual to take His hand, or refuse it. The logical facts clearly show that the Bible is the Word of God and of His divine nature. The chances of one winning the lottery without buying a ticket (meaning that it has to have been randomly given by someone else, or found), are better than betting against the Word of God. Hallelujah!

Chapter 2

The Character of God

We know that all sciences are based in mathematics. Likewise, math plays a large roll in logical thinking. Highly intelligent people have a good grasp of mathematics. God is a super-intellect to the highest degree. Just look at all He has created! Just like any great builder, He has a formula or system that He has implemented, and it is based in mathematics. Mathematics creates balance and that is how the universe operates. It is in total balance. In this way, the universe is a reflection of God. He is total balance in all His characteristics. These are the component aspects of the character of God (God being Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). I will deal with the Trinity topic (as He has revealed Himself through His Word and his history of dealing with man) in a latter chapter. As written in Hal Lindsey’s, The Liberation of Planet Earth, the bible shows us ten component aspects to God’s character.

1. Sovereign. God has a will and answers to no one. He makes decisions and policies and sets up principles. He always acts in accordance with all His character attributes and will never express one attribute at the expense of another (total balance).

All who live on the earth are counted as nothing, He does what He wishes with the army of heaven and with those living on earth. No one can hold back His hand or ask Him, What are you doing?

Daniel 4:35

Riches and honor come from you, you rule everything, in your hand is power and strength, you have the capacity to make great and to give strength to all.

1 Chronicles 29:12

Also see, Deuteronomy 4:39; Psalms 47:2, 83:18, 93:1, 135:6 and Acts 17:24.

2. Righteous. God is absolute perfection, He exemplifies righteousness. It is impossible for Him to do or cause anything that is wrong. He is the benchmark of all that is right. He is morally perfect without a trace of deviousness.

In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this [is] his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.

Jeremiah 23:6

Also, Ezra 9:15; Psalm 48:10, 119:137, 145:17 and 1 John 2:29.

*Note that Adonai means Lord in Hebrew, except, in scripture, when written all in capitals, as then it means Yahweh ( in Hebrew ה י ה ו) the name of God The Father. This is true for when the word ‘Lord’ is written in capitals also.

3. Just. God is absolutely just. He executes perfect justice in accordance with His attribute of righteousness. All that is unrighteous must be judged and separated from a relationship with Him.

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

Romans 1:18

Also, Deuteronomy 32:4 and Isaiah 45:21.

4. Love. God is perfect love—infinite love which He gives freely and without consideration of the worthiness or merit of the object. This includes His enemies as well as His friends.

But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.

Matthew 5:44

Also, John 3:16, 16:27; Romans 5:8; Ephesians 2:4 and 1 John 3:1, 4:9, 4:16.

5. Eternal Life. There has never been a time when God did not exist, and He will never cease to exist. He is the power, the force, and the person who created everything that exists. He is the self-existent fount of, both, physical and spiritual life.

The LORD shall reign for ever and ever.

Exodus 15:18

Also, Deuteronomy 32:40, 33:27; Job 36:26; Psalm 9:7, 135:13; Lamentations 5:19; 1 Timothy 1:17 and Revelation 1:8.

6. Omniscient. God possesses all the knowledge there is to have. He always has known, and always will know, everything that has happened, is happening, and that will happen in the future. Nothing can be concealed from Him.

Hell is naked before Him, and destruction hath no covering.

Job 26:6.

Also, Job 31:4, 34:21; Psalm 147:5; Proverbs 15:3; Hebrew 4:13 and 1 John 3:20.

7. Omnipresent. God is infinitely and everywhere, personally present, through all time, space and in every dimension. Therefore His word is also timeless, relevant to everyone throughout time. (Matt. 5:18)

The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.

Proverbs 15:3

Also, Genesis 28:15; Deuteronomy 4:39, 31:6;
