PREFACE
Let us make man in our image and after our own likeness
- God
The Lord took seven days to create a perfect man in His own image and after His own likeness. He created a physical world and placed His man to have dominion over it. Man fell…
The Lord then took seven generations from the first man to create another perfect man whose name was Enoch but there was no perfect world for him. And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.
Then mankind was corrupted by the Fallen Angels… and everything was destroyed by the great flood.
God took seven metaphoric days to turn a man named Abraham to a great nation. Creating the perfect environment for His image and likeness to be born in a nation that was in covenant to Himself with a tabernacle and an everlasting throne. The Son of God came as flesh and blood and dwelt amongst man. He died and rose again and ascended into heaven…
It’s been more than 6,000 years since the day of creation according to biblical calculations… a thousand years is but a day in the sight of God…therefore we are on the sixth day in the sight of God…The day in which the Lord created mankind… The Seven Spirits of God of Isaiah 11 will transform whoever is willing to His image and likeness in these last days.
In prayer one night I heard the Lord say, You are living on the sixth day, I’m not a man that I should lie… My word shall not fail but it shall accomplish that which I sent it for. My image and likeness will again walk on this earth in your days, in your generation. I cannot lie and Genesis.1:26 will again be fulfilled in these last days… for I am not only the Author but I am also the perfecter of your faith.
This is the message of this book – The Word of God in its Fullness will bring forth the image and likeness of God in man.
This is the calling and purpose of every man but it is what these last generations have been graced to walk in.
INTRODUCTION
Although I am less than the least of all God’s people, this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, and to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things. (Eph. 3:8-9)
The above scripture best describes the attitude of my heart and the purpose for writing this book. If it was up to me, I would have never had the courage to even attempt to write this book. It was only after much wrestling with the Spirit of God that I finally surrendered to the call to write.
I had a visitation of the Lord one morning in 2006 that caught me off guard that had literally ruined my life forever. In this visitation, the Lord showed me something that appeared to be the glorious church of the last days. This church consisted of millions of people and they were all worshipping together. The sight was amazing that I cried out to the Lord, ‘This is it! This is the dream church we have all been praying for!’ and I wept before the Lord.
I saw the thick, dark cloud of the Glory of God come down to this church and the people were slain in the spirit. There were miracles after miracles among them and it seemed like they had everything a church could ever need. I saw the Glory of God hanging over this church and I cried to the Lord and said, ‘Lord I want to be a part of this glorious church!’ But the Lord was quiet and never said a word to me.
It is still hard to explain what I saw because it was like everything I could ever imagine the glorious church would be. This church was everything that I was being taught it would be. The anointing, the blessings and the manifestations of the gifts of the spirit and even the pastors with shining faces were all in this great church. It seemed so real that I could not imagine anything could be better. I looked at this great multitude and their pastors and saw satisfaction in their eyes. It felt like they knew they were fulfilling their purpose in God.
Just as I was seeing all these, the Lord spoke to me with a rather sad and disappointed voice. He said, ‘There is something terrible about this church’. I could not believe what I heard and my mind was racing. Before I could even ask the Lord about this terrible thing, I heard His voice again. I heard anger and seriousness in His voice this time. With a loud and stern voice He said, ‘They are going nowhere!’
These words went through my whole being and rocked my religious self. I still cannot figure out whether He left me after He spoke those words or I left Him because of what I had heard. I was shaken to the core of my being because this experience was so real but yet so contradicting to everything I had learned in church. I could not even pray or read my Bible for about two weeks. Somehow I felt that something was dying in me and those words kept ringing in my heart and mind.
Even though I did not understand what the Lord was showing me, I made up my mind that I was going to seek Him. He has been faithful in teaching me and equipping me through the Word of God in order to get me to fully understand what he had shown me.
I do not understand why He chose a ‘nobody from nowhere’ like me to reveal these things to. He has many great men and women all over the world that He could have revealed it to. I had given up arguing with Him about this because He was never going to change His mind. Finally after three years, He instructed me to write this book.
I have to admit, though, that only after writing half of this book that I finally understood what He meant in that vision. It now dawned on me that the church I was seeing was the present condition of the Body of Christ and she is stuck in the wilderness. In spite of all that she has accomplished, she is still in ‘wandering mode’ and she is being deceived into thinking that she is achieving her purpose in God.
She seems to be satisfied with all that she has and forgetting that there is a promised land to be conquered and possessed. This is the ‘The promised Rest of God’ (Heb. 4). This is mainly because the church is misleading herself in saying that ‘the journey is more important than the destination’. This phrase may have been true to the previous generations, but it is not with this generation. This church is living in the end times and her ‘destination’ means everything.
The Lord told me that this book will begin to deal with the ignorance and the lack of knowledge in the church that is hindering her progress. The weakness of the present church is not in her lack of zeal or lack of work or church activities or reaching out. But it lies in her erroneous belief system. It is not a ‘what to do’ issue, but it is a ‘doctrine’ issue.
Therefore, this is not a book on ‘how to do better’ but rather deals with ‘how to believe right’ and deals with ‘the obedience of faith’ (Rom. 1:5). The Lord had instructed me to present in this book ‘the fullness of the Word of God’ so that these doctrinal errors could be exposed (Col. 1:25-27).
The Bible states that the Israelites in the wilderness only knew God through His deeds among them and for them. They did not know God’s ways or the purpose of His heart. This lack of knowledge and lack of understanding cost them their lives in the wilderness. They were always in rebellion, even though they seemed to be serving God zealously.
This book through the counsel of the ‘fullness of the Word of God’ will reveal God’s mysterious ways and his purpose for His creation. It will reveal that in everything God does, He always follows His ‘seven days principle’ that He used in the beginning. This is why He said, ‘Remember the former things, those of long ago; I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me. I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say: My purpose will stand, and I will do all I please’ (Isa. 46:9-10).
The first part of this book reveals the purpose and intent of God for man and starts from the beginning till the great flood. The second part is about the plan of redemption, which starts after the flood and goes up to the birth, the death and resurrection of Jesus. The third part is about the process of developing the new creature in Christ and the final part is about the book of Revelation.
Throughout this book the hidden mystery of God will be revealed. The truth is that the whole mystery of God is wrapped around the man Jesus Christ. In the beginning, God through His word (which is Jesus) created the first man. In His plan of redemption, God took the seed of His eternal life and planted it into the womb of a young woman who brought forth the man Jesus Christ.
In the new birth, God sows the incorruptible seed of the Word of God into the hearts of men so they can manifest the life of the Son of God. Finally in the book of Revelation, God showed the apostle John the vision of the future and enabled him to prophesy about it. He said to him, ‘For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy’ (Rev. 19:10).
Ever since I had that experience that morning, I wished I could tell every Christian what the Lord had shown me. But my problem was that I did not understand it myself. Now that the Lord has instructed me and enabled me to write this book for you, it has been an honour and a great privilege! I believe that as you read the pages in this book, you will hear the Spirit of God speaking to you, revealing the fullness of His love and His true purpose for your life and also for the Body of Christ.

PART ONE
The Mystery in God
(The Creation of Man)
In the beginning was the Word, and the word was
with God and the Word was God… Through Him all things were made… In Him was life,
and that life was the light of men.
(John 1:1-5)
Chapter One
God’s Purpose, Will and Intent
Even the angels long to look into these things. (1 Pet. 1:12)
In the Beginning
Long before the physical universe came into existence, God existed in the spiritual heavens. He created angelic beings and other heavenly creatures to serve Him. Everything He created that served Him were spiritual beings. Their existence cannot be measured by time because this was the spiritual realm.
Somewhere deep down in God, an idea was being secretly formed. This secret idea had been a thought in His mind but then it had gone into His heart. Even though He was constantly surrounded by angels, none of them knew about it. It was a mystery hidden from all created beings at that time. This mysterious idea now reached a point where it had fully grown within God that it could not be hidden any more.
The Almighty God had by this time created everything anyone could ever imagine. Every angelic being were already in His service. Even heavenly creatures, which we have never heard of or seen, were already doing everything they were created to do. God had worshippers and servants and all that He ever wanted.
Heaven seemed to be complete and no spirit being could have ever thought of anything better than what had already existed. The created beings in heaven by this time after countless years of existence still have not seen the fullness of His glory. Every time they look at God, these angelic beings would see a facet of Him they have never seen before. When they see a new facet of God, the angels would call out to one another and say, ‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty’.
This worship in heaven has been going on for a time only known to them. These angels still could not comprehend the Almighty and all that He had created. Heaven was the best thing and the best place ever to be and even their experience with God was unspeakable! Their minds even though spiritual had reached their limits. The angelic beings could not in their wildest thoughts think that anything could be better.
In spite of all these, God was secretly pondering about something better in His heart. This secret idea had everything to do with who He was and with His nature. He felt like He was not being completely revealed as He was. This thought had now come to possess God and dictate His actions. He had decided to do something that has never been done before and no one ever thought possible. The truth is that no one is wiser than Almighty God or greater than Him to instruct Him or correct Him.
He is just in all His ways! He is never wrong and all He does is perfect, so this strange idea that He came up with could not be questioned. He is the only God and there is no other besides Him and He cannot be likened to anyone else. Everything exists through Him and for Him and to whom all creatures will one day answer to.
The leading Cherub in heaven at the time knew better than to dare think himself higher than the Most High. He could not resist admiring his own beauty and forgetting that he was only a created being. He was hurled down like lightning as quickly as his own thought came up in him (Luke 10:18). A third of the angels in heaven joined him in his rebellion and went down with him. The Mighty One is a consuming fire and it is a dreadful thing to fall into His hands.
The Mystery Revealed for the First Time
Without anyone else’s counsel or opinion, the Lord stood up into the balconies of heaven and stared at the formless void before Him. His fiery eyes pierced through the thick darkness that wrapped itself over the face of the deep. Darkness laid helplessly bare as the Spirit of God hovered over the waters. His voice thundered and darkness trembled in fear as it fled to give way to the light of the Glory of God.
He separated the light from the darkness and called the light ‘day’ and darkness, He called ‘night’. He stretched a measuring line across and marked the dimensions of the foundations of His work. He set its footings and laid its cornerstone and all the angels of heaven shouted in unspeakable joy. Through His Wisdom, He laid the foundation of the physical world. He accomplished all these on the first day.
His voice thundered for the second time and brought forth an expanse, which separated the waters above and below. The waters which rose above at the roaring of His voice He called the ‘sky’. By His understanding, God, stretched out the heavens and made the clouds as its blanket. This was the second day.
The voice of God thundered for the third time and the valleys of the waters were exposed. At the blast of breath from His nostrils the foundations of the earth laid bare. He shut up the waters behind doors as He fixed its limits and set bars in place. ‘This far you may come and no farther; here is where your proud waves halt’, He instructed the waters. The dry ground which lay bare He called ‘land’ and the gathered waters He called ‘seas’.
God commanded the land to produce seed-bearing plants and trees according to their various kinds. They burst forth from the womb of the earth and covered the dry land. Through His knowledge the earth was dressed with a great variety of vegetation. He saw that it was good and this was the end of the third day.
The voice of the Lord thundered for the fourth time and two great lights appeared in the sky. They were to separate the day from the night and serve as signs to mark seasons, days and years. The greater light governed the day and the lesser light governed the night. He also hung the stars in the sky to sing with His angels and shine in the darkness of the night. This brought forth the end of the fourth day.
God raised His voice for the fifth time and different kinds of living creatures came forth in the seas according to their kinds. Different kinds of winged birds also appeared over the earth across the sky according to their kinds. He blessed them and said, ‘Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth’. This was the end of the fifth day.
On the sixth day, God commanded the land to produce living creatures according to their kinds. These were livestock, creatures that move along the ground and the wild animals. Through His great knowledge, He filled up the earth like a room being filled up with rare and beautiful treasures. God had a look at them and said that it was good. The earth was now brand new and was already operating as He intended it to be.
Finally, God looked at His craftsman and His Spirit and said, ‘Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, over all the creatures that move along the ground’. He stooped down and formed man out of the dust of the earth and gave him the breath of life. The life in God went into the man’s body and brought him to life and he became a living spirit.
God blessed him and commanded him to be fruitful and fill up the earth. Every angelic being in heaven stood still for a moment in awe to behold and absorb what had just happened. Something was not right. Everything God ever created was the same except this last creature. He just did the unthinkable. He created everything according to their kinds except this one.
This creature was not in the animal or the bird kind and neither was he in the angelic kind. He was not any other kind that has ever been created before and yes, the angels heard right. This new creature was a God-kind! His body came out of the dust of the earth but his spirit and his soul came out of his Creator. He was made in the image and likeness of God Himself.
As God ruled in heaven, His image would rule on the earth through Him. The man had God’s spirit and was crowned with Glory and he
