PREFACE

Many Bible events are shrouded in mystery. Here, 'mystery' means 'a hidden, secret thing,' 'a religious secret.' In scriptures, 'mystery' refers to a biblical truth that man cannot comprehend by reason or philosophy. A biblical mystery does not mean that the thing is impossible to know; rather, the appointed time of its revelation is yet in the future. However, through the regenerated man possessing a new nature and the work of the Holy Spirit, the born again believer becomes the initiate of the mysteries of God.

Some mysteries that baffle the minds of great men are the conception of the Virgin Mary, the coming of Christ into the world, and the time of the birth of Jesus. Theologians have labored and attempted to reveal the truth of those mysteries over the centuries; their revelations, however, seem flawed with error in light of the word of God. Some theologians' and church interpretations of Mary's conception appear grossly misunderstood. The way by which Christ came into the world is also misrepresented by the unscriptural concept of incarnation; likewise, the Church fails to give a correct date for the birth of Jesus.

These are exciting times. All biblical prophecies of the last days are fulfilled, and the advent of the church age is rapidly drawing to a close. The Bible declared that during this period of time young men shall dream dreams and old men see visions. This indicates that God will reveal many mysteries through dreams and visions. The author is among those men who initiate the mysteries relating to the events of the era. Subsequently, the Lord gave new revelations in visions to the author to teach His people the truth of the word of God as the church age comes to a close.

The purposes of this book, Heaven to Earth, are to dispel the myths and errors concerning the nativity, reveal the amazing truth about the birth of Jesus, and solve the greatest mystery of how the Eternal God became a man, as well as reveal the true birthday of Jesus.

The author takes the reader into the realm of the unknown and often misunderstood mysterious world of the supernatural, and highlights the interaction of the spiritual with the natural. Heaven to Earth opens the mind of the people of God and takes them from the rudiments of salvation unto a deeper knowledge of the things of God.

CHAPTER 1

God's Plan of Salvation

The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth his handiwork.[1] God is truly the acknowledged creator of the heavens and the Earth. The scriptures record that the heavens were created at the beginning and time began shortly thereafter. The heavens are adorned with the jeweled beauty of stars that twinkle far above the Earth. Some time passed, and since God created the Earth to be occupied He created man. God declared ownership of the heavens and set boundaries and confined man to planet Earth. The prophet wrote the law of occupation, declaring that The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord's: but the Earth hath He given to the children of men.[2] Man has proved himself to be disobedient from the beginning. The creature refuses to be confined or restricted in any way. Adam refused to be bound by the law and ventured into restricted area and committed the sin of disobedience. Like Adam, today's men act in defiance of God's word, venture into the heavens, and encroach upon God's restricted properties. Violation of any law results in a consequence.

The consequence for venturing into space is the destruction of the protective ozone layer that God placed around the Earth to absorb deadly radiation from the sun. Today, the Earth is experiencing extremely erratic weather. The Earth is getting warmer, deserts are expanding, and arable lands are shrinking. Space flights are getting more numerous, and the global ecosystem will be severely compromised in a few years. Man will have to brace himself for the future man-made catastrophes of famine, disease, and restiveness in an overpopulated world.

In the case of Adam, the punishment for disobeying God's word was death, and through Adam death passes down to all mankind.

God showed pity on His disobedient creatures and gave them a temporary covering for their spiritual nakedness. An animal was slain, and the blood atoned for their transgression. God then used the skin of the animal to cover their shame. The sacrificial order introduced by God was practiced throughout Old Testament times.

Adam's son Abel sacrificed an animal, and God accepted the burnt offering. Centuries later after the great floods, Noah offered animal sacrifice to God, and God was pleased. Many years later, God called Abraham and commanded him to offer a blood sacrifice. Abraham obeyed God and offered a sacrifice on Mount Moriah. The Bible records that after the Israelites were freed from bondage in Egypt Moses wrote the sacrificial laws.

Since Adam's sin passed down to all mankind, the sacrificial system of atonement was institutionalized and used by man to cover for sin; however, animal sacrifice for sin was only meant to be a temporary covering so that man could enter into the presence of God. A permanent solution of atonement was promised by God in the beginning when Adam sinned.

The Mosaic sacrificial laws were made for Israel only; they were a part of the broad Sinai Covenant. The purpose of that sacrificial system was to cover the sins of the people until the Redeemer comes with the permanent solution. At that time, God's perfect lamb would be slain and take away the sin of the world, and there would be no more need for the daily sacrificial ritual.

In the Jewish religion, the holiest day of the year is Yom Kippur, or the Day of Atonement. Under the Mosaic system, a bull would be slain and the High Priest would offer the blood on the mercy seat to atone for the sins of the nation. That ceremonial ritual came to an abrupt end in 70 AD when the Romans destroyed the Temple, dismantled the religious system, and dispersed the Jews.

The Jews realized that their ceremonial ritual of cleansing from sin was lost and fellowship to their God was broken. They were unaware that the Lamb of God came and was offered once and for all for their sins and the sins of all mankind. Universal atonement was complete, and God used the Romans to enforce His divine will upon His people. The Jews hated the Romans for the destruction of the Temple and failed to accept the fact that their calamity was caused by unbelief in Jesus Christ, the Prophet Redeemer.

Furthermore, it was the Jewish rejection of the Gospel and the New Covenant that brought divine judgment upon the nation of Israel. To this day, most Jews refuse to believe that their God would have brought such destruction on His chosen people. Judgment fell on them because they did not listen to Moses. While in the wilderness fifteen hundred years before Jesus Christ came, Moses warned the Israelites that if they refused to listen to the promised Prophet judgment would befall the nation.[3] Under Mosaic Law, thousands of animals were slaughtered over the years, but they did not satisfy God's justice, which demands that a soul that sins must die. The person who sins is under the penalty of death; however, God in His mercy allows a substitute life for the life of the sinner. The sinner, therefore, offers an animal to die in his place to satisfy divine justice. The truth is that divine justice is not totally satisfied under that system because the life of an animal is valued less than the life of a man. There is no equity. The life is in the blood, so the blood of an animal is valued less than the blood of a man and therefore could not pay the full price of redemption for man; however, God in His mercy allowed Israel a temporary coverage for their sins through the sacrificial system until a suitable substitute could be found.

The Law of Moses was for the Jews only; consequently, only the Jews were covered under the Mosaic religious system. That sacrificial system was only temporary because the blood of animals was not equal in value to the blood of man and therefore was ineffective to atone for sins. Moreover, all the descendants of Adam have sinned, and all need redemption. In the beginning, God promised redemption to the entire human race through the seed of the woman. In essence, God promised a pure and spotless person whose blood far exceeds the price of redemption. There was one problem: no one on Earth could qualify because all have inherited Adam's sin.
