About this ebook

This book tells where mankind came from to begin with, how he got here, what his purpose is, and what his destiny is. It also tells that we are in a bubble in the middle of a lake of water and how that happened. It takes you back to the bubble that existed before this one and to the third bubble that already exists, where mankind will spend eternity. It tells us why God had to make a blood covenant with Abraham and that Jesus Christ completed that agreement when he died on the cross. It also tells about the first case of racial prejudice and how the United States of America came out of the blood covenant. This is not science fiction. It is God's word, the Bible.

    Why I wrote this book

    About the Author

    The Beginning

    In a previous book, I wrote about how creation took place. Basically, what I wrote was that this universe is a big bubble in a huge lake of water. Genesis 1:1 says that the earth was floating on a lake of water and it was shapeless.

    In the first nineteen verses of Genesis, we see God looking down on a huge lake of water. That water is in total darkness, and there are blobs of debris floating around on it. Or maybe blobs that look like algae weed. This is a weed that floats on water and has no particular shape or form.

    Then we hear God say, Let there be light. This was the first day, when he created day and night. Then he created a huge bubble down in the middle of that lake, and he called the inside of that bubble heaven, and this was the second day. He then took the earth and all the other planets and shaped them into perfect balls and placed them inside the bubble in the spots he wanted them to be in. After they were in place, he went to work causing the dry land to appear on earth, and all the plants and trees started to grow. This was the third day, and on the fourth day, he put the sun, moons, and stars in position and started everything in motion. He created the fish and other marine life and the birds on the fifth day, then the animals and mankind on the sixth day, and he rested on the seventh day.

    Now I would like to take you back to that dark water. If the earth was floating on that water, it is very likely that all of the other planets, moons, stars, and the sun were floating there too. So the question is, where did they come from to start with? Knowing what I know about Satan and his demon spirits, I think I can get a picture of what might have happened. First of all, I dealt with demon spirits in my own body. I was having mental issues back in the sixties, and the Lord revealed to me that it was demon spirits. He said the only way I could get rid of this problem was to get baptized in the Holy Ghost and receive that power from him. Then I would have power over the spirits and I could command them to leave. I did this, and it worked.

    But then my husband started drinking, and I realized that he had one of the most violent demons that I had ever witnessed. At first I was afraid of him, and I would hide from him when he went into his rages. That didn’t last too long though, because I might not be very big, but you can only push me so far, and I’m coming back at you. I got fed up one evening, and when he started, I went at him, speaking in tongues. He drew his arm back and said he was going to bust me in the mouth. After a few tries and he wasn’t able to move his arm, he gave up and went to the living room and started watching television. I knew then that I and the Lord were going to make it. I battled that demon for about seven years. It was taking its toll on me, but I knew I would make it. Finally one day, I came home from work, and he was right there ready to do his tormenting. I slammed my hand down on the table and said, How many times do you want to hear the name of Jesus, demon?

    He glared back and said, Ten thousand times.

    I said, Well, you’re gonna hear it ten thousand times.

    I walked over to the counter and picked up an envelope and a pencil, and every time he would start up, I would point my right index finger at him and say, Jesus, over and over until he quieted down. As I was pointing with my right finger and saying, Jesus, I was making a mark on the paper with my left hand. Each night when he finally quieted down, I would count up my marks and add them to the total. I never told him what I was doing, and I didn’t let him know how many times I had said, Jesus, at any point during all of this.

    One night when I counted my marks, I realized that I only needed to say, Jesus, six more times and he would have heard it ten thousand times. The next evening when I came home, he started to act up. I said, Jesus, six times, and he gave me a funny look and went to the living room and started watching television, and all was quiet the rest of the evening.

    The next evening I came home, he was parked at the kitchen table, ready to start. When he did, I looked at him and asked him how many times he wanted to hear the name of Jesus. His head dropped, his shoulders slumped, and he said, I think I’ve heard it too many times already. There were no more rages in my house after that, but the alcohol had taken its toll. He died a few months later. The Lord and I had the victory though—he accepted Christ as his savior before he died. I told you this story to let you know that I know a little bit about how the spirit world works.

    Now, going back to those blobs floating in the water, this is the picture I get. Maybe they came out of another bubble God created. Suppose God had already created another universe just like this one and put everything in it except mankind, when Satan was stripped of his rank in heaven. Knowing the violence that one demon can create, I can’t imagine what that moment would have been like. You would have Satan and one-third of all the angels in heaven in a total rage. Since they would not have had any power over anything in God’s kingdom, I can see them looking for something of God’s to destroy. They looked and saw that bubble where God was going to put his precious mankind. They destroyed the bubble and everything in it. All that was left was debris floating on a lake. This was where God picked up and started creation all over again. This time Satan was restricted. This might explain why we have found dinosaur bones but nothing in history about them. Maybe they were on earth in that first bubble.

    Now we come to mankind and where he came from and where he is going.

    Before I go further, I want to say that I do not recommend anyone staying with a violent person just because they love them. The demon in that person has only one desire, and that is to see you dead.

    I stayed with my husband because I had been in a deep study of God’s word for about four years before he started drinking. I had received the baptism in the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues, and I knew how to stand on God’s Word in every situation. I also knew I had authority over demon spirits, and I knew that was what I was dealing with in him.

    I want to say also, that from what I have shared, it would seem that my husband never did anything good. The exact opposite is true. Before his drinking, he was a very loving husband and father. Everyone who knew him would tell you how generous he was. Even though he didn’t go to church himself, he always supported me in everything I did for the Lord. In fact, none of his rages after he started drinking were ever over my work for the Lord. It was always petty personal issues. One of the main ones was that I fed him leftovers at mealtime. Anyway, I knew he had a great reward waiting because of his love and support for me.

    The Lord sent me another husband and two stepchildren after that. My first husband and I only had one child. The Lord gave me twenty-one years with my second husband, and he was almost too good to me. He spoiled me in a lot of ways.

    For we wrestle not with flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places (Ephesians 6.12, Living Bible). Paul doesn’t make any exceptions here. He said that no matter what we think we are fighting, they are demon spirits. Knowing this is the type of environment in which we live, let’s go back to the beginning of mankind.

    In Genesis 1:26–27, it says, And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion [rule] over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth. ²⁷So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

    And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul (Genesis 2:7).

    And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: And he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; and the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman because she was taken out of Man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave [cling] unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh (Genesis 2:21–24). Jesus quoted this scripture about a man clinging to his wife in Mark 10:2–12, when he was being questioned about divorce.

    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 moves upon the earth (Genesis 1:28).

    In Genesis 1:26, when God said, Let us make man in our image, he was talking about the Holy Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. John 1:1–3 tells us that Jesus was there when the world was created.

    Keep in mind, God is a spirit, so he wasn’t talking about Adam’s physical body when he said this. And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Thessalonians 5:23). This tells us that we are made up of three parts—spirit, soul, and body. The scriptures also tell us that the body God created for Adam was just a house for him to live in while he was on earth. The real Adam was the spirit man inside that body.

    Going back to Genesis 2:7, when God breathed life into Adam, he also birthed into Adam’s body the seed of every human that would be born on this earth. Part of this comes from Luke 3:23–38. This traces Joseph’s genealogy back to Adam. It shows that he came out of Noah and his son Shem, so this takes us back to the flood.

    The main proof comes from the book of Hebrews in the New Testament. And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham. ¹⁰For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him (Hebrews 7:9–10).

    This takes us back to the fourteenth chapter of Genesis. There was a war between two groups of kings. In this war, all the people and possessions in Sodom and Gomorrah were taken captive. Abram’s nephew Lot and all of his family lived in Sodom. They were taken captive also. Abram took his men and his trust in the Lord and went after them. He had 318 men.

    These were men that had been born into his household. I would think that they, too, would have the same faith that Abram had by being raised in his household. I don’t think they would have had the courage to go against a large army if they didn’t.

    Abram was successful in defeating the kings and bringing back all the people and possessions. This included Lot and all of his family and possessions. On the way back, they met a priest named Melchisedec. The scriptures don’t tell us too much about him except that he was a priest of the Most High God.

    This priest shared bread and wine with Abram, and then Abram gave him a tenth of all the spoils he had brought back from the battle. Abram’s name was changed to Abraham after God made a blood covenant with him in the fifteenth chapter of Genesis.

    Hebrews 7:10 says that Levi was in Abraham’s body when Abraham paid tithes to Melchisedec. Abraham was Levi’s great-grandfather, Isaac was his grandfather, and Jacob was his father.

    This scripture and the genealogy of Joseph in Luke show us that men carry the lives of their children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, etc. These seeds are passed down generation after generation. It also tells us that God knows who that person is in that seed. He said that Levi was a real person even when he was still in Abraham’s body. He was so real that he paid tithes the same as Abraham.

    The reason it talks about Levi receiving tithes is because when the children of Israel went into the land of Canaan after wandering in the wilderness for forty years, they were all given certain tracts of land. The children of Israel are the descendants of the twelve sons of Jacob. Jacob’s name was changed to Israel in Genesis 32:28 after he had wrestled with an angel all of the night and the angel was not able to overcome him. The angel told him that from then on, his name would be Israel, which meant he had power with both God and man.

    When the land of Canaan was being divided, the tribe of Levi was appointed to be the priests, so they weren’t given any land. It was the duty of the other tribes to give a tenth of their food and possessions to supply the needs of Levi’s tribe. This is why the writer of Hebrews talks about Levi receiving tithes.

    ⁴According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: ⁵Having predestinated us into the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will (Ephesians 1:4–5, King James Version).

    Long ago, even before he made the world, God chose us to be his very own through what Christ would do for us; he decided then to make us holy in his eyes, without a single fault (Ephesians 1:4, Living Bible).

    I would like to stop and do some explaining here. First of all, when God is talking about us not having a single fault, he is definitely not talking about us being perfect in this life. This scripture is telling us that even before he created the universe and all that is in it, we existed. We were birthed out of his spirit. In other words, we have all been in heaven. That knowledge is in our subconscious mind (soul). This is why mankind is always searching for that something that will bring them peace. People don’t understand that giving themselves back to God is the only thing that will give them peace. This scripture is also telling us that even then, God had already made plans for Jesus to die on the cross for us.

    Some people use this scripture as an excuse to keep on sinning. They say that if everybody is predestinated, there is no use in trying. I want to share the rest of those verses from the Living Bible. We who stand before him covered with his love. ⁵His unchanging plan has always been to adopt us into his own family by sending Jesus Christ to die for us (Ephesians, 1:4–6).

    Paul was writing to the church at Ephesus. These were people who had been saved by the blood of Jesus. Yes, they were predestinated to be a part of God’s family, but so was everyone else
