What was God's first Gatekeeper?
I will let you know I am not
going to start this study off debating pre-creation theories nor will I try to
deduce any systematic type of revelation out of which I may have procured
through much study or personal revelation. The word of God is to be openly
discussed and possibly debated but it is never for ones own personal revelation.
Genesis 40:8;2 Peter 1:20 This is where people get in trouble and can veer off
into occult factions. Anytime any law is believed to be personally yours for
your interpretation then the rules that you will apply to that law on behalf of
others may be different than the ones you set for yourself. Justice would be
perverted. In this country as in many other places in the world people struggle
for equality albeit from sex color or race because someone judges it to be so.
In a world when prejudice is rampant it should not shock us that
perverted justice and twisted laws will create this type of dichotomy.
Prejudice is not of God. He created universal laws to be abided by. He had to.
What natural law can hold a supernatural being? Although we shake hands with
the natural law daily, the underlying substance that holds all things together
is not natural but supernatural and only a supernatural being could keep that
law. We could not. This invisible law separated us from Him did it not? In the
Garden, God came in the cool of the day to see Adam and Eve. Genesis 3:8 Yes,
as long as there was no sin God knew how this universal law worked, like a
doorway or a gateway or portal if you will. God could visit His creation but
they didn't have the knowledge to go to Him but satan did.
Stop and think about this for a
moment. Write down any thought you may be having and if God is talking to you
via His spirit or scripture. Write it down and record it. The insight you
receive from Him is invaluable and will serve you well to guard it.
Now let's continue.
So it would be safe to say that
he who originates the law and institutes the law must abide by that same law.
We can also deduce that he who created the law, will himself be bound by that
same law. In order to have a belief there has to be a starting place to
establish this belief in. For most people belief comes through a natural
process as in searching out something. Now on one hand if we believe that there
is a God and take him at His word based on the accounts given to us then we can
say with a sure certainty, in the beginning God. Genesis 1:1
Now whether we believe in God
or not there are natural laws in order, don't you agree? When we are born as
babies we do not know God yet He said He knew Jeremiah in the womb. Jeremiah
1:5 There was an order, a structure and a natural law in place as
Jeremiah's parents had to follow the natural laws of creation to produce a
child. If the account we read is true? Than God was bound by the same law He
created in the beginning. Now Jeremiah's parents did not know that when they
laid together that night that they would conceive a child, but God did.
The laws that were instituted
in the beginning of time by God became His first gatekeeper. These laws kept
order and structure no to just the earth as we know it but the universe. These
universal laws were created before there were people to be governed by the law.
There were no Christians in the beginning just God and His word which is truth
and which is the universal standard of the law. This law was the only law in
the beginning and there was no other law.
When God created the law He
could not break the law because it was His word. To break the law would make
one lawless and this would not happen until the story of Adam and Eve which we
will not get to for a few more chapters yet, although I have already allowed my
stream of conscience thought to go there if only for a second.
I know at this moment it may
seem that I am going round and round with some of these thoughts, but I am
doing this so you will have to think about what I am saying. The
most insidious think that can happen to a person is when they take
life without any considerations or rationalizations. By doing so they reap the
consequences of their actions and will receive the penalty of the law. We are
free moral agents and God is not. He has created structure for boundaries and
order for everyone's protection but when we violate the law we will pay the
penalty. God will not and cannot break His universal laws.
