Chapter 2 COMING BACK TO THE BEGINNING

«And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it,

And set it in order for me

Since I appointed the ancient people?

And the things that are coming,

And shall come, let them show unto them.

Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee

From that time, and have declared it?

Ye are even my witnesses ». Isaiah, 44:7.

According to the above-stated words of the Bible to announce everything in order since ancient time, and also to announce coming and the future is a worthy problem to which should not fear. And I also testify, that announced here, have been long since announced and predicted by the Lord. Coming back to the beginning, we come back to the God for there was then still nothing created. But the God already then had Son. The son existed in the bosom of the Father. Existing and being in bosom of the God, the Son himself was the God. It is possible to tell, that the Lord was unified, and his name one, - and his name is the Word that the Consciousness, Reason and the Word means. The God had and has life in himself, and also has given to the Son to have life in himself. The Christ was then same, as now, for he now and then and for ever the same. Being perfect in everything, he cannot change therefore. Anyone person in due course grows old, grows wiser or, on the contrary, grows stupid, but in the Christ all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hid, Col.2:3. At that time the God was all in everything, and then there was no still a heaven for it has not been created yet. The power which the God possesses now, was in him and then. Can seem, that as, the world end very differs from its beginning, and that because God in the end not such as in the beginning, but the God Himself is both the Beginning and the End, Rev.1:8. The first of all real, he will be also the last for who will exist longer than he?

Everything, that the God has created, was for his Son, Col.1:16. In the beginning for the Son the God has created the heaven. It was a City having foundations, whose builder and maker is God. The city has received the name of heavenly Jerusalem or, in another way, Zion, Heb.12:22. If there was a traveler, dared to walk round on foot the city wall, it should be in a way about half a year provided that advance he will be non-stop, since morning till the night, for 12 hours daily. To walk on the City from end to end with the same average speed of a pedestrian and with the same condition, it would be required almost one and a half month. How many in all can be seen all over this City in its gold street? To walk round only any one section of the City stretched along one of its sides, in the width of only 10 miles, our pedestrian would need to make the round non-stop for 12 hours per day, from the youth and till the old age. Thus we will not forget that the heavenly City is stretched not only at length and width, but also height! One more comparison: we will imagine that a person can make 100 thousand specified travels on the Heaven, but even in this case he does not survey even 1 % of its space! And after all the Christ has passed heavens, Heb.4:14. But differently also could not be: after all everything, that the God created, he created through the Christ, by means of the Christ.

Even before creation of the world the Lord God expected all possible ways of its development. Now, when the world has existed some thousand years, we well see, in what results a life without the God. So, we see terrifying growth of criminality with its murders, great depravity and degradation of human values. Live without the God constantly accompany also to illness, hunger, wars and many other things disasters. However the God from the very beginning expected possibility of fall of the man, and still before world creations has prepared for the world of the Savior. Any creation always concedes to the Creator, the same as the artist above a picture drawn by him and as the potter above a pot, produced by him. Let’s imagine for a minute, that the Lord has created the world, has created the man, but would not expect possibility of its falling - then the God would appear not all-knowing; but in that continually, that the God has intended to die to the Christ for world sin even of the world creation. For this reason we read about the Christ, as about the sacrificial Lamb, slain from the foundation of the world! Rev.13:8.
