Chapter One
Beginning in Heaven These are the beginning thoughts of the Serpent. He was gaining consciousness. He began hearing the sound of God around him. God's soothing, almost silent voice filled him. The Serpent learned that his name was Mark. After he learned a few words, he remembered God saying to him, "You have been with me forever. You will not have everlasting life. I love you. You will save the world." The Serpent does not remember most of the specifics of being in Heaven. He remembers God teaching him things, such as "I will give My love to the righteous man." Also, He told him that he should have no idols before Him. God told him to love his neighbor as himself. After that God taught him that He hated a wicked man.
Life for the Serpent did not begin in the Garden of Eden, but he was created by God to be king over God's creations, which were to be created in their image. This meant he was to be king over men and women. The Lord God Almighty delegated to the Serpent the responsibility for determining the type of souls (the gene pool) that the Lord God would create as individual souls in their (The Lord God Almighty and the Serpent, His son) image.
The Serpent was also delegated responsibilities for designing the environment in which God's living creations were to be able to live. This included the Lord God Almighty asking the Serpent to solve the problem of how best to produce a strong light by day and a mild light by night. The Lord God gave as an example the present system of the universe. The Lord God was giving the Serpent a chance to develop a sense of accomplishment and confidence in his abilities. The Serpent failed in finding the best answer to solving the problem of providing the lights for God's creations and therefore asked the Lord God to use the system He had given the Serpent as an example. The Lord God Almighty used this failure to ultimately teach the Serpent of his limitations and dependence on the Lord God Almighty, his Father.
Upon realizing that a task was too large for him, the Serpent asked the Lord God to do it for him because He had told him that He could do almost anything. This was an easy way out for the Serpent because he did not get enjoyment out of struggling with ideas that were new to him, which sometimes ended up leading to a dead end.
The Lord God Almighty directed the Serpent to do other tasks because He wanted the Serpent, His son, to live up to his capabilities that the Lord had created him with. He wanted the Serpent to complete his assigned task on his own. The Serpent was given the ability to persevere, but because the Lord God also had given him free will, the Serpent chose to end his effort before the full completion of his assigned duties. Then the Serpent would ask the Lord God to complete his work for him.
God Revealed a Minute Portion of His Infinite Light to the Serpent in His Bedroom
The Lord created the Serpent Messiah from His heart and surrounded him with complete darkness shielding him from His Infinite light. The only stimuli that the Serpent felt were his own slight body sensations and the voice of God. The Lord God said, "Let there be Light" and revealed an ever so slight amount of His Infinite light to the Serpent Messiah. He did this to accustom His son, the Serpent Messiah, to light so as to prepare him to go to his study to learn how to read and to become visually able. There are two forms of light in this world that I know of. One is the light of Heaven, and the other is the material light of this universe, of which the sun is an example.
Two Forms of Light
At a Holocaust remembrance, a rabbi stated that God inspired the writer(s) of Genesis to state that God said, "Let there be light" both on the first and fourth days of creation. The rabbi then equated the first statement of "Let there be light" to a physical reality, while on the fourth day God was putting into the heart of man the light of humanity to brighten man's dark heart. This was wrong. The Earthly man was not created until the sixth day, so his heart did not even exist on the fourth day. If it meant that light was put into the heart of Jesus, who was created before the first day of carnal creation, this could not be so, because Jesus was created from the beginning to be good and was nurtured to love the light of the Lord.
My interpretation of God saying "Let there be light" on the first and fourth days of creation is that on the first day, God created life in the celestial realm, which is another dimension for the Heavenly home of angels. This was done for Jesus so that he could experience a minute amount of the perfect celestial light of Heaven while God instructed him in his reading (education) of His word. The only problem I have with that is that if the light of the Earth (the sun and stars) was not created until the fourth day, then the vegetation, which was created on the third day, could not have lived because there would have been no light to produce photosynthesis.
I think maybe the Earthly light (carnal light from the sun and stars) should have been explained to occur on the third day instead of the fourth day. That way the vegetation of Earth, which would be created later on the same day, would be able to live.
On the fifth day God created the living creatures of the sea and sky.
On the sixth day God created the animals that roamed the Earth, and then later on that same day He created Adam and Eve.
The reason I believe that evolutionists say that certain species of living fish crawled up onto land and evolved into air-breathing, lunged animals is because these sneaky people knew from the Bible that God created sea creatures before the Lord created land animals and man.
To summarize, I believe that God revealed the celestial light (which has always existed) in Heaven on the first day to Jesus, whose actual name is Mark, in his infancy. God will allow Mark and the good angels to go back to this light in Heaven before casting Mark into the lake of fire and then oblivion. I believe that God created the carnal light (the sun and stars) on the third day to sustain life on Earth.
I believe we are in the seventh day of creation, where God allows His creation to rest. I could be wrong, because God declared the seventh day of creation to be holy, but ungodliness and evil still exists in our present world.
The Serpent Messiah's Education Begins
After many days of God carrying Mark, the Serpent, out of his bedroom to sit him down at His table in his study room, the amount of time he spent with God instructing him before He would put him back to bed increased. When God realized that Mark, the Serpent, was getting tired or slightly distracted, He would put the Serpent back to bed. His sleep time became shorter, and his learning time became longer.
God told the Serpent that he would have responsibility for creation of the environment in which man and woman was to live. God told the Serpent to draw up the different animals so that He could put these characteristics into the animal gene pool. The Serpent quit his task before it was done. Therefore the gene pool was mostly God's ideas. God was and is the creator of life, which enabled each creature to pass on its genes in combination with its mate's genes. However, the oddities of nature both in mankind and the animal world are because of the Serpent's childish imagination. An example of this is the Giraffe. Mark, the Serpent, does not remember whether he was responsible for any mental oddities of nature which may have peculiar thought patterns. The devil was evil from his beginning and I do not believe God would allow the Serpent to bring any peculiar beings into existence without the possibility that they could be saved after the terrible mistake of Satan.
God said it was time for us to create man in our image. The Serpent, the Lord's son, had only experienced good and had no knowledge of evil. Reason would suggest that the Lord would create man in His image because man had the knowledge of good and evil. This would suggest that man was closer to the image of God that the image of the Serpent. This is not true. God only has the knowledge of evil. He has never done evil. The Serpent has done nothing with evil intent and will take no pleasure out of any evil that may be a payment for evil done. The evil of oblivion for God's creations that have chosen evil is justified by the Serpent also reaping oblivion. Thus the image of the Serpent is closer to the image of God than the image of man is to God.
The Lord said to Mark, the Serpent, that he would help design man. The Serpent really did not know where to begin. He explained to the Serpent about genes and the restrictions He would put on what He wanted him to do with them. The Serpent, Mark, put in genes for love and hate. He vaguely remembers drawing up different people with different hair color, skin color, eyes, nose, and other features. These were put into the human gene pool. Mark put in the gene for the knowledge of good and evil. He soon became tired of trying to think of emotions, physical features, and the like. Finally he asked the Lord God Almighty to finish what seemed to be too much of a task for him.
God seemed perturbed. This was to encourage Mark to not give up. He explained the summation sign to the Serpent, Mark, so that he would not have to be specific for each individual soul. To a mathematician the summation sign allows a single formula to describe a multitude of specific results. To design every soul individually would have taken Mark a longer time than from the beginning of creation to judgment. Mark designed a seed that had no genes in it whatsoever. God had told the Serpent, Mark, not to do this, but that was one of the only original ideas he had. The Serpent thought this seed would surely love God without having any predisposition for anything else. The Serpent tried to explain to God that this seed would be the best seed of all because it had no predetermined genetic influences. God again told Mark not to, but the Serpent's mind would not think of anything else. He explained the consequences to His son, the Serpent. The Lord finally told him to go ahead. This seed was the devil, which became evil from the instant God created him. God, being good, cannot create something that is sinning and evil from the beginning. The Serpent, Mark, was responsible.
God Granted Mark's Wish for a Soul Mate of Wisdom
The Serpent believes that after he had attempted to complete his delegated assignment of designing man and woman in his and his Father's image and providing them with a livable environment, God put him to bed. The Serpent, Mark, cannot remember exactly how he got from his study to his bedroom, but he has a vague recollection of God telling him that He provided him with legs because his had not fully developed yet. This perplexed the Serpent because he felt like a whole being. That night the Serpent fell into a deep sleep, and his side hurt the next day when the Lord awoke him. God asked him about it at his study table because he was unable to concentrate as well as before while He was educating and supporting Mark during his studies. The Serpent told Him that his side felt different.
He explained that He had created Sophia from Mark's rib as per his desires. The Serpent did not remember telling Him that he wanted to live with and marry a soul mate with wisdom. The Serpent, Mark, also did not remember being told that she would come from his rib or that this would happen at such an early time in his life. Things in his life were starting to speed up.
Later in his life, while in the U.S. Navy, the Serpent told a person in his computer school at Vallejo, California, that he wanted to show people that God could use Einstein's theory of relativity for goodness and love, instead of hatred and suffering by use of atomic weapons. He did not know that Einstein's theory of relativity would account for the age difference between Sophia and him and that it would cause his withered soul to fall in love with his soul mate at such a late stage in life so as to bring him to the psychological point of being able to save the world through love.
God revealed to Mark, the Serpent, late in life that Sophia appears to be much younger than him, even though she was taken from his rib when he was just a toddler in Heaven. This was because she spent most of her time with their Father, the Lord God Almighty, in Heaven where time goes slower. He educated her in Heaven and treated and brought her up similar to the way He did Mark. Because Sophia spent such a greater amount of time with God than Mark did, she is much more loving, wise, and attached to God than Mark. Einstein's theory of relativity helped Mark realize that time goes much slower in the outer reaches of Heaven and speeds up for a soul as it approaches the sun (hell) in our universe.
Since Sophia spent most of her time in the farthest reaches of Heaven before being incarnated in her mother's womb here on Earth, and because Mark had been rapidly transported to Earth to be incarnated in his mother's womb forty-two years earlier, Mark had more time to age than she did. Our bodies age much more rapidly here on Earth than when we existed as spirits in Heaven as per Einstein's theory of relativity.
The psychological effects on Mark, the Serpent Messiah, because of the difference in age between Sophia and him were dramatic, going from one extreme of shame to another extreme of feeling the full effects of that love. The age at which the Serpent sees himself depends greatly upon how he feels physically. When he exercises and prays, he feels like a twenty-year-old kid and does not feel self-conscious about loving his young Sophia. When he feels unhealthy, he sees himself as the world sees him and does not believe people can understand that Sophia was taken from his rib when he was a boy in Heaven. It is beyond the realm of understanding for the average person to see how Mark could appear so much older than her and still have been created at nearly the same time as her.
Television Program Confirmed My Memory of the Creation of Sophia
On Sunday, November 10, 2006, Frederick Price Jr. said on his TV program "Ever-Increasing Faith Ministries" that God created a girl child along with Jesus before the creation of the rest of the world. She was to be known as Wisdom as she grew up. Through the inspiration of God, when Frederick Price Jr. told of Wisdom being referred to as female throughout the Bible, and that she was part of original creation, the Serpent's love for her was rekindled. The Serpent Messiah knew who Frederick Price Jr. was speaking of before he gave her name as Sophia because of his explanation of the gender of Wisdom being female. Then he dropped a bomb and said that she was also what God had called Hades and that she was going to be thrown into the lake of fire with Jesus, who he called the angel of light or Lucifer or the Star of the Morning.
At that moment it confirmed that the Serpent, Mark, was going to be thrown into the lake of fire, but he, the Serpent, will not let anyone touch Sophia.
Frederick Price Jr. said that death and Hades would be thrown into the lake of fire, the sun. Mark is death. Mark is Jesus. Frederick Price Jr. said that Hades was Sophia. The Serpent realized that maybe Sophia had made the same mistake as he did when they were children in Heaven by subjecting her enemies to potential everlasting evil, and that's why she would be subject to the lake of fire and oblivion just like him. Mark could not withstand the thought of this fate for her. Therefore, he would accept his flesh being totally corrupted and thrown into the lake of fire and oblivion for her salvation and for the cleansing of the world, without ever experiencing Heaven or her love.
Even though he is attracted to Sophia and desires her love, he is doing nothing to break up Sophia's bond with her commonlaw husband. He will let events take their course. Sophia is doing all she can to be a good wife to her husband and a good mother to her daughter. Mark does not believe she will be fulfilled spiritually and emotionally without him as her soul mate. However, because Sophia will eventually live forever without his existence, the Lord may not want Mark to bond with her because she will then soon lose him to the sun (hell) and oblivion.
