I am an evangelist with just one message about Creation. I will be explaining three main topics which are, 1) How you were made (Created) 2) What happened (since Creation) 3) Why you are here now (today). The evangelist is a preacher that proclaims the Good News about Jesus to anyone as to why Jesus was sent from God to this earth with the plan of salvation. Also, they strengthen Christian believers in their faith so they can share with others and be a witness about their own faith in Jesus. The Good News is, He sent His Son (Jesus) to redeem you back from being separated from Him because you were born separated from Him (lost) because of something that happened approximately 6023 years ago. The purpose of this book is that I want you to see from Adam until NOW what happened with man (which is us) and then I will unfold an easy-to-follow sequence of big events that happened along the way.

My message covers approximately 6023 years from the beginning of Creation up until now. You don’t have to memorize the details of each event, but follow how God’s plan moved forward, as recorded in the Bible. Going back 6000 years covers a bunch of information, so I ask you to follow the story of the timeline and the highlights of the events rather than remember each detail, and by the end of this book, you should have a much better understanding of how we got here. After you read this book to the end, I ask you to read it a second time so the details will become clearer to you. I ask you to read this book a second time because the law of Sowing and Reaping will apply here to your benefit. By you taking the time (sowing) to read with the purpose of increasing your knowledge and understanding of the Events of Creation, whether reading the Bible, listening to a preacher, or reading God-centered materials, (then) you will reap (receive) from what you have sown. The Bible may seem very confusing and hard to understand when reading from the beginning to the end, but the message is simple: choose eternal life and escape eternal death.

`To the Christian, my goal is to STRENGTHEN you in your faith so you can share what you believe and why you believe it to others with confidence. I will speak plainly to anyone who has never made a commitment to choose salvation (which is eternal life) and to those who are either on the fence or simply confused. I believe that if the average person is made aware of the events from Creation until now, you would realize you are in God’s plan today because YOU were NOT born by accident. I say this because every seed that produces a child (a human being) is the will of God and will be until the end of the Millennium. If someone is unsure of their salvation, even though you have said the sinner’s prayer, it will be clear to you at the end of this book.

I want you to know that I believe the Word of God from Genesis to Revelation with 100 percent assurance. I will be using scripture from the Bible and the events recorded in the Bible to guide you along the way, rather than just giving my opinion of what I think. What I have written in this book is my understanding of the Scriptures and events from the beginning of man, therefore I will unfold an easy-to-follow progression of those events in sequence, as recorded in the Bible.

LET’S GET STARTED: When we hear the word heaven, it brings a thought and feeling of something good. The word heaven is often used to describe something as being the best you can imagine. Heaven is most associated with God and most people want to go there after they die a physical body death (even if they are not a Christian). So, the biblical heaven is a place. If someone would ask you, Where is heaven? You would probably say, Up above the sky. You may add to the answer, That’s where God is. The Bible reveals three heavens, meaning three areas of space, as the first, second, and third heavens. The first heaven is our area with oxygen. It’s where we breathe air and planes fly. It extends down to Earth, where we live.

I will be referring to our area often because this is where the spiritual battle that I want you to understand is taking place today. The second heaven is where the sun, moon and stars are, the area of outer space. The third heaven is the area called the throne of God, also known as the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven.

The chart on the next page will give you a mental image of the three heavens that I want you to see as being areas and to understand these areas as a place.

Every moment of every day since Adam until now, there is a battle going on. This battle is in the spiritual realm (area) throughout the earth’s atmosphere, and it can’t be seen with your eyes.

This battle is not God versus Satan. This battle is Satan and demons trying to keep man (people) from turning to God, so this battle is between Satan and man, with God intervening on man’s behalf only if we ask Him to intervene. This spiritual battle is in our area, the first heaven where we breathe air and on Earth, where we live. The reason this battle is in the first heaven (our area) is because this is where (man) people live. Because it is unseen, many are unaware or simply don’t believe it is real, but it affects you and me every moment of every day. I want you to have a clear understanding of this spiritual battle that is happening all around us because it is good versus evil every moment of every day and will continue worldwide until the end of this age. Just so you know, the end of this age is when the fullness
