Go ahead and hit that thumbs up button. We have not gotten started yet. I'm going to open this up with a few questions. Oh, wait. Two more announcements. The Hebrews for your app, for those that are patrons and those that are Kickstarter supporters. If you did not get those notifications. The Hebrew Sphere app is now available. It will be available to everyone else starting the first week of June. The announcement on the specific date will come as we get closer. And the Black History in the Bible app is coming too. The BHITB app will be here toward the end of June. The Awakening Study Bible, the first five books of Moses, the Torah have been added. to black history in the bible.com for those that don't know about that project it's a it's an ongoing project that i've been working on for a while um yeah it's just taking longer a lot longer than expected because i have so much other stuff going on but the entire torah has been added and as new information becomes available um it gets added to black history in the bible as a whole the words get tagged everything gets cataloged and so when certain words appear within the biblical text you can click those words Um, and you will get definitions, you will get pictures, you will get historical information and everything else. So black history in the Bible right now is going undergoing a few gradual changes as it becomes more of a resource for Israelites to use to study the Bible. Cause you know, everybody else got their study Bibles and their sites and all that stuff out there. Why can't we have one for us? So if you guys want to write commentary, if you guys want to, um, Add history. Feel free to go to black history in the Bible dot com. Sign up as a curator. Shout out to Christian Jackson. That brother has been a huge help, a huge help submitting hundreds of articles and stuff that is still not approved. I'm working on a small glitch that's keeping me from making him a curator three where he can approve more of the articles and we can start. vetting more of these articles and getting them out there for everybody. But again, shout out to Christian Jackson for that. All right. So I got two questions before we start this study. I asked these to the people in the Q and a who or what was the first creation of God, according to the Bible, who or what was the first creation of God, according to the Bible, shout out to the moderators. Make sure you guys stay on it, but do not. Try not to get people who are regulars, people who are participating. Make sure you read their comment a couple of times before you just react and then put them on timeout. Please don't block anybody from the channel unless they're saying crazy stuff. And when I say crazy, I mean just outright cussing or putting crazy stuff in the chat that's racist, stuff like that. So make sure you guys differentiate, try to differentiate between... Who should be here and who probably shouldn't be here? All right. Let me let me see here. I just want to make sure. All right. Cool. All right. So we got 204 people in the chat. Hit the thumbs up. Please keep sharing. We're about to go ahead and get started. I see. Let me let me post some of these answers to my question. All right, some of these we had earlier, but it's okay to post them again because that was in a whole different chat. There was a lot of answers. Who or what was the first creation of God according to the Bible? There's a lot of thoughts here, a lot of people having different answers. And we're going to we're going to talk about the answer today. I think a lot of these are good answers. And to understand where some of these answers come from, you have to understand that a lot of us came out of different Christian churches with different belief systems. And so we've probably been around a lot of different teachings. All right. Let me see. Thank you, Pugna. Appreciate it. All right. So. We have a lot of different answers, as you guys can see, who or what was the first creation, according to the Bible. Now, it's natural to start at Genesis because it's the first book of the Bible, and naturally you begin reading from the beginning of the book. Unless, of course, you go to some mainstream Christian churches, you start reading from the middle of the book. And you start at Matthew instead of Genesis, and you read Matthew to Revelation, and then you go back and cherry pick. Genesis through Malachi. But most people that know how to read books start at Genesis. And so it says in the beginning was the word, I'm sorry, that's John. In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth. So this is a natural starting point. So yeah. But if you keep reading the book, you will find that there are references that predate. the Genesis account based on what's being said. And so those of you who guessed Proverbs 8, you are correct. Proverbs 8 is where we're going to start. Now I'm going to ask you a question for next study, and I'm going to give out two prizes. And these prizes are only available to the first two people that answer correctly. First two, not everybody, first two people that answer correctly. And this is for the next study. Now, here's how you submit your answers. Don't post your answers in the chat. I'm going to say it one more time. Do not post your answers in the chat. You must send me a message on Hebrews fear. The first two people with the correct answer will win a prize when we do part two of the study. The question is, which book are we going to cover as a main topic of part two? Thank you, Tana. Appreciate you. Which book? are we going to cover as a main topic in part two? Now, again, you have to submit your answer to your question through Hebrewsphere. Send me a message. The first two people with the correct answer on which book we're going to cover as the main topic for part two, they will win prizes, one prize each. All right. Let me see here. Okay. All right. So I'll try to get to you guys'questions. If you have questions as we go through, I'll try to keep up with the chat while we're doing the study. It takes a lot to do that. I'm getting I'm getting more and more used to it the more I do it. But yes, it's it's an interesting thing going back and forth, trying to keep up with the live. Shout out to the people who do it seamlessly and make it seem like it ain't no effort at all. Um, so yeah, if you have questions, post them. If you want me to see them more visibly, drop a super chat. The super chats are colored. They come up yellow, green, blue. They stand out from everybody else's. If you a hundred percent want me to see it, you don't have to, I'm still looking through the comments, but if you definitely want me to see it, um, please do. Thank you. Way. Appreciate you. Um, this is what I mean right here. So this is, this is the color green that pops up on my screen when I, in the comments. uh yellow green i think red blue and some other colors i don't know but yeah if you definitely want me to see your question and please keep your question about the study not everything else please um yeah and we'll go ahead and get started i've not studied the bible in many years after leaving these churches a bit rusty but happy to be learning shout out to you it's always better to um you know come back when you when you have your mind clear to really study and focus um Yes. One more time. The question for next week. And you have to send it through Hebrew sphere. A message to me directly. Question. Which book are we going to cover as a main topic in part two? That is the question for next week's prize winners. All right. So we're going to go to Proverbs 8. Everybody with the Bible, you can go to Proverbs 8 if you want to keep up. And Proverbs 8 is interesting. I remember reading Proverbs 8 when I was a lot younger and I found it. to be very interesting for quite a few reasons. One reason is that it gives a history of creation from the perspective of an eyewitness as a firsthand account of somebody who stood there and watched this for themselves. It's also prompted a lot of controversial opinions. Is wisdom the Holy Spirit? Is wisdom Christ? Those are questions that people have. Some people teach that one thing and some people teach another. I don't want to get ahead of myself, but we're going to start in Proverbs 8. And this is something you don't get if you don't read the full Bible in its context, starting from Genesis. I mean, if you read Proverbs, you'll catch it. You don't have to necessarily start from Genesis. But if you want the Bible in its full context, start from Genesis. And a lot of people... love to do line upon line and precept upon precept studies. Those are great for that. But then you have historical studies where you put them in context, and then you have studies by subject where you go through and you take everything the Bible specifically says about this subject, and you do studies on those as well. So there's lots of different layers at which you could study the Bible. And these right here, what we're doing on creation, it's more of a topical Bible study, not a line upon line study. or a chronological study, or I guess technically it's a historical study, but we're going to do a topical study for this. Shout out to you, brother Keith Williams. Yeah, let's see who else. All right, cool. All right, so we're going to go to Proverbs 8 first, and we're going to start reading at verse 1, and I'm going to try to keep this to the point and not get sidetracked. All right, let me share my screen. All right, here we go. Proverbs 8, starting at verse 1. And I'm using Blue Letter Bible for those who don't know. If you've not grabbed your copy of Undeniable, let me drop this in the link so I can close this tab. Undeniable is a great book if you want to see full color evidence of black Israelites in the Bible. As you can see, it has 812 reviews, 4.8 out of 5 stars. Make sure you grab your copy. And again, if you have not signed up to hebrewsphere.com, to submit your answers or to communicate with like-minded Israelites, please do so. The app is coming the first week of June. All right, Proverbs 8. Here we go. Doth not wisdom cry and understanding put forth her voice? So here we see the personification of wisdom. We see crying, which most of us think of it as a human trait, a voice. Again, most of us think of this as a human trait, not saying that wisdom is human, but just more so the personification of wisdom in the context that we can understand as human. Verse two, she standeth in the top of the high places, by the way, in the places of the paths. So notice the pronouns her and she are being used. This is being described as a feminine being. And this is important because when people tell you this is Jesus, make them explain the contradiction of why Jesus is called a she here versus a he in the New Testament. And the same thing with the spirit, the Holy Spirit. Make them explain to you why the Holy Spirit is called she here, but he there. Is God interchangeable with genders? Can he transgender? Is he what you would call it? Hermaphrodite? Make sure people explain this to you. She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in, at the doors. Unto you, O men, I call and my voice is to the sons of man. O ye simple, understand wisdom and ye fools be of an understanding heart. Here. for i will speak of excellent things and the opening of my lips shall be right things for my mouth shall speak truth and wickedness is an abomination to my lips now understand this is an introduction wisdom is introducing herself through these words all of the words of my mouth are in righteousness there is nothing forward or perverse in them they are all plain to him that understandeth and write to them that find knowledge receive my instruction and not silver and knowledge rather than choice gold For wisdom is better than rubies, and all things that may be desired are not to be compared to it. I, wisdom, dwell with prudence and find out knowledge of witty inventions. The fear of the Lord is to hate evil, pride and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the forward mouth do I hate. Counsel is mine and sound wisdom. I am understanding. I have strength. By me, kings reign and princes decree justice. By me, princes rule and nobles, even all the judges of the earth. I love them that love me and those that seek me early shall find me. Riches and honor are with me. Yay. Durable riches and righteousness. My fruit is better than gold. Yay. Then find gold and my revenue than choice silver. I lead in the way of righteousness in the midst of the path paths of judgment that I that I may cause those that love me to inherit substance and I will fill their treasures. All right. So a lot of King Solomon stuff up in there. All right, let me see here. All right, so we have wisdom introducing herself, wisdom personified, wisdom presented as a female, a woman. And again, if somebody's going to tell you it's Christ, make them explain the contradiction as to why Christ is referred to as a woman and Christ is referred to as her. in Proverbs 8 and why Christ is suddenly a man in the New Testament. Same thing with the Holy Spirit. All right. So these are things they have to explain if they're going to take those positions. So now I stopped right there for a reason, because now as we get into verse 22 onward, we're going to talk about the creation, which is the whole point of this series, the creation. And we're going to do a study on wisdom. The wisdom study is going to come later. And we're going to talk about those comparisons when people say this is Christ and people say this is the Holy Spirit. We're going to talk about that later in its own study, which is why I was just reading the intro. All right. Let's see here. So we have the personification of wisdom, her, she, the feminization of wisdom. If you want to call it that wisdom cries, wisdom speaks. Now, we're going to get some insight from wisdom about the creation here, not only about the creation, but about God and about what was going on before Genesis 1. And again, I want to ask the question so it's on your minds. Which book are we going to cover as the main topic of part two? Because we're going in the order of creation, according to the Bible. So the first two people to guess will win a prize. All right. So we're going to go back to. to verse 22 and what we're going to use is biblehub.com um and it's interlinear hold on let me get there before i share my screen but we're gonna we're gonna be switching back and forth between blue letter bible and biblehub.com and for those that want to get prepared on biblehub.com type in proverbs 8 and then click the interlinear link and it will take our proverbs 8 verse 22 and then click the interlinear link And it's going to take you right to where we are. And if you're following along in the Bible, we're going to be picking up now at Proverbs 8, 22. For those just joining us, we are talking about the true order of creation, according to the Bible. All right, here we go. Is wisdom where they get their mother nature from? Possibly. But there are also all kinds of different belief systems surrounding queens of heaven and all kind of other different things. So, yeah, that's a good question, though. It is possibly where they get it from, but not necessarily the only place they get it from. All right, here we go. Let me share my screen and we're getting back into Proverbs 8 verse 22. We're going to take these one verse at a time to a certain point and then we'll read the rest and then we'll end it for the day. All right, so Proverbs 8 22, the Lord possessed me in the beginning of his way before his works of old. All right, so somebody asked me... in the Q&A session. How do I do my studies? I tend to start right here with scripture, and then I'll jump over to here. This is biblehub.com. For those that don't know, right about here, you can type in Proverbs 8.22, and then after you search for it, click interlinear, and it'll bring you here. So we see here the word used, Yahweh possessed me at the beginning of his way. So if you want to see what these words mean, you just simply Click this. I'm opening a new tab so we don't lose it. You click this. You come over to here and you can see what it means. Get acquired. So Yahweh acquired or get or bought or again, acquisition. Same thing. Purchase. Go down here to the strong, exhaustive, attained buyer. Teach to keep keep cattle so that we know that's probably not what it means to get provoked to jealousy possessor. or purchase. So in context, we can see that Yahweh possessed wisdom at the beginning. So let's look at this word beginning and see when. Rashid, beginning, the chief. Go down here. The first fruits, the principal thing, part, time. So beginning in context. So Yahweh possessed wisdom in the beginning. of his way. Look up his way. The road, the distance, the journey. Okay, the way. Before. Now, this is where it gets interesting. Before. Let me click that. So, formally, before, the word right here is kadem. Before his works. from back then or or more so we're gonna we're gonna look at a few of these and the reason i'm looking at all these now is because i want to show you guys some stuff later so before the works or something he made let's see back then all right at that time um and then we'll come down to here beginning hitherto now from old right so now you Wisdom was possessed by the Lord before his works of old. So which works is wisdom talking about? Now, wisdom is going to give us some insight here. I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. So this right here tells us this happened prior to Genesis 1.1, because Genesis 1.1 tells us in the beginning. God created the heavens and the earth. Now we're going to we're going to go to Genesis one one in a second. I'm pulling that up because we're going to reference Genesis a couple of times in this study and in a bunch more later on. So give me a second to get to Genesis. Now, wisdom is actually going to give us two indications of the time period being talked about, because you have people who will debate and say that, well, everything had to be create be created. between the first and the seventh day or the first and the sixth day because God rested on the seventh day. And then some people even toss in an eighth day creation on it. But wisdom is telling us that. Let me make sure I say it right. Wisdom was possessed from the beginning and was set up from everlasting from the beginning or ever or before the earth ever existed. So let me go ahead and share my screen. So you guys can see this stuff right here. All right, please hit the thumbs up button. We got 356 people in here right now. Please hit the thumbs up button. All right, right here. All right. So verse 23, I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. So if we go right here, for those using Bible Hub, if you click this right here to take you to the next verse, you don't have to retype it in every single time. So wisdom was established. right here. Let's look at this word. established, poured out, to pour out. Let me go down here to the strong is exhaustive, to cover, to melt, to offer, to cause, to pour out, or set up. So let's see, to pour out, especially a libation or to cast metal by analogy, to anoint a king, to cover, to melt, or offer, cause, or to pour, or to set up. So wisdom was set up from everlasting. Now this word everlasting tells us that they're talking about before. Genesis, long duration, antiquity, futurity, ages, blah, blah, blah. You get the point. You can go through and read all these yourself, but I'll go down to the strongs. From always the ancient times, any more continuance from eternal, everlasting, long time. So wisdom was set up from a long time ago before there was ever an earth. So we know this had to happen before Genesis 1, and we're going to see more. So front, east, formerly, or before. A foretime, ancient time, before, east, part, side, eternal, everlasting, forward. So based on context, we know that wisdom was set up before Genesis 1. In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth. Wisdom says, I was set up. from everlasting from the beginning or ever the earth was now if we go down to verse 24 here where when there were no depths i was brought forth when there were no fountains abounding with water this is a very important verse in here because this word depths also appears in genesis says i was brought forth let me go over here to the strongs real quick and we're gonna look at this Um, when there were no depths, this word right here is important. We're not gonna look at every single word in this verse, but there were no depths, right? So there was no deep, there was no sea, there was no abyss. The word right here is to home, to home. Now I'm gonna leave this up here for a second. I'm gonna go down to Strong's, um, exhaustive. Confusion, the empty place, without form, nothing, vain, vanity, waste. When there was none of this, wisdom was brought forth. Wisdom is saying, hold on, let me go right here. I'll read it for yourself. Wisdom is claiming to be a created being. Now, brought forth to world, to dance, to writhe. Hold on, let's go down here. to bear, to make or to bring forth, to make to calve or calving means give birth, to dance, to ride away, fall grievously with pain. So wisdom is being birthed or brought forth. When there were, let me go read the rest. This is important right here. Let me read the rest of this verse and then we're going to jump over to Genesis. When there were no fountains abounding with water. All right. So wisdom says they were brought forth from everlasting before the earth ever was before they were before the fountains were abounding with water. Now, this word was to home. We looked at this word right here when there were no depths. This right here, Psalms eight, Proverbs eight. I'm sorry. Eight twenty four. When there were no depths. Now we'll come over here to Genesis. Let me open up another one of these so you guys can see the Genesis one. two. All right. Genesis 1, 2 says, and the earth was without form and void and darkness was upon the face of the deep and the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. Now, throughout this, we're going to read in Proverbs 8, wisdom never claims to move upon the face of the waters. Now, wisdom. This is for the people who say wisdom is the Holy Spirit. Wisdom does not claim to move over the face of the waters all throughout Proverbs 8. So now the earth was without form and void and darkness was upon the face of the deep. So if we come here, Genesis 1, 2, click interlinear and we look at the word deep. Darkness was over the face of the deep, the deep, the sea, the abyss. It's the same word to home. It's the same word I left up over left. open over here to home as we saw it over here um to home depths so now wisdom is telling us that she was brought forth before there was an abyss. So before this event happened in Genesis, which gets into the whole gap theory thing, some people believe, and we'll talk about that later. Wisdom says she was brought forth before this part right here, where there was darkness upon the face of the deep, the abyss, the to home. Wisdom says she was brought forth before this thing ever existed. So that's important right there. Because now we're understanding that this being is talking from a perspective of an eyewitness account. And the eyewitness testimony is important, especially when it comes to law enforcement. If they want to put somebody in jail, they get eyewitness testimony. They may get a few eyewitness testimonies. A camera is even better. So now we have we have the place. We have the time. We have the eyewitness. Now, we're going to get even more details of the creation, including some extra attributes of God and some of the events that were taking place before then. This is why it's important to go through these books and do a real, real deep study on these words and see which words are the same. Look at the context and don't just assume because we read in Genesis one, it says in the beginning. So, again, it's. It's natural to assume that that's where everything started. But this book and other books are going to give us insight into things that took place prior to the creation. So I'm going to share my screen again and I'm going to keep reading. I was trying to go back up and see what we had here. Make sure you hit those thumbs up. We got 386 people in here. Make sure you hit the thumbs up. Make sure you share this while we're live. And again, you guys may not agree with everything I'm going to show you, but I'm going to show it to you anyway. And that's fine if you don't agree. Yeah, make sure you hit the thumbs up. It helps more people find this. Make sure you share it. And again, you can support via Super Chat or Cash App, cash tag B-H-I-T-B. And for those that want the app coming soon, I'm promoting the app because the app is coming soon. Go to Hebrewsphere.com and set up an account and you can go to Patreon.com if you want to get the app before everybody else this first week of June when it's released. All right. So now we're going to go back to Proverbs 8, verse 25. Let me make sure I skip anything in 24. So there were no fountains yet. The earth had not been brought forth. There was no abyss. All right. Let me go back in. OK, cool. All right. There were no depths or no abyss. So this is before Genesis one. Wisdom claims to be a created being or being that was poured out or brought forth. Where does it ever say Christ? was brought forth or the Holy Spirit was brought forth? These are the questions you have to ask when people are making these comparisons. It says before the mountains were settled and before the hills was I brought forth. Again, second time wisdom saying they were, or she was brought forth. Let me make sure. Now here it says where the mountains were settled, and it's easy to kind of skip over this one. But we're going to go to verse 25 because I find it interesting that this word settled. If we look at it, it has I'd have to, you know, dig deeper into this. But I noticed this as I was doing the study. It says to sink or to sink down. So the mountains seem to have been sunken into the ground, drowned, sank, settled, sink, sunk, sunk down, fast drowned. fastened, settled, or sinked. So the mountains seem to have been sunk in the ground to keep them there or fastened to the ground. They're describing the creative process saying, look, this is how it happened. The mountains were fastened down. We don't get that detail in the book of Genesis. Before the hills was I brought forth. So again, telling you the time. This was before all of this stuff. God created the heavens and the earth. And we know the the hills had to have been created when the earth was created. Let me go back to Genesis one. We'll go back right here. It says, and God said, let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters and let it divide the waters. Hold on. Let me let me go down right here. Here we go. And God called the drive back up, back up. And God said, let. the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place and let the dry land appear and it was so so the dry land appear but where did the water come from if you guys go back and read um up here It says God made the firmament and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament. And it was so. But we never actually see God create water. Let the firmament be in the midst of the waters and let it divide the waters from the waters. We don't ever see God say, let there be water. So this is another question. Where does water come from? When did God create the water? And you can go through and read all the way through Genesis yourself for context. When does God say, let there be water? We see that there is water there. The firmament is separated from it. And then he says, and God said, let the waters under the heaven be gathered together into one place and let the dry land appear. And it was so. And God called the dry land earth and the gathering together of the waters he calls seas. And God saw that it was good. Then we see him bringing forth grass and herbs and seed. But we don't see him specifically creating the mountains. and the hills and everything else that we're going to get from Proverbs. It says, while as yet, let me make sure I'm not skipping anything before I continue. While as yet, he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world. So again, wisdom is telling us that she existed before all of this, and she witnessed all of this, and she's going to give a breakdown. of how several of these things occurred, even some of the personal events that happened concerning God prior to the creation or during the creation and prior to. Thank you, Keith. Appreciate you as well. For those who want to support, hit the dollar sign in the super chat. All right, we're going to keep going. I'm going to keep checking back to see if you guys have any questions and see if you guys can still hear me and make sure you press those twos if you can't hear me at any point. And I'm just checking back regularly so I don't keep going on and on and not realize that I lost you guys because I didn't did that a couple of times. So, yeah, wisdom so far has revealed that she was created, poured out, existed prior to the creation of the earth, prior to the creation of the abyss or the waters from everlasting and that the earth or that the mountains were fastened down. or sunk into the ground all right so this verse 26 while he is while he had while as yet he had not made the earth nor the fields nor the highest parts of the dust of the world when he prepared the heavens i was there when he set a compass upon the face of the depth i was there now let me come over here we're not going to go through verse 26 um we get right here God hadn't made the earth. And it says wisdom was or the prime evil dust of the world. So wisdom was saying that this one she was brought forth. So we're going to go to verse 27. Now, when he prepared the heavens, wisdom says she was there. So prepared the heavens to be firm or established the heavens. Let me make sure I read the right words when he prepared the heavens. So that word is going to be established. Um, this was the word for heavens. Now it says when he drew this word right here to cut in, inscribe or decree. So it says when he set a compass upon the face of the earth, it actually says when he drew or cut or cut in or inscribed a circle. on the face of the deep. So wait, now we're getting more details. A vault or horizon. This word right here is kug. So when he drew the horizon, it's translated as circle. But when he drew the circuit, circle, compass, vault, or horizon on the face of the Tahom, wisdom says. She was there when this happened. So we're getting we're getting details on the deep now. She said, I was there before the deep. I was created before this existed. And I was there when he drew it out or created it. So this this right here, again, eyewitness testimony is so important because now we're getting the small details that we don't get in the book of Genesis. We see that the spirit of God is hovering over the face of the water, but we don't know that he drew the horizon or he measured out the horizon. For those that are good with math and other stuff, you probably remember the compasses back in the day. I don't know if they still use them. We had a little triangle looking thing and it had a little tiny pencil in it. And you center it and then you turn it and it draws a circle. It helps you draw a perfect circle. So it's presenting God as a designer. This is how wisdom is portraying God as a designer or an architect. And we're going to get into the we're going to get into another question. What is the origin of the grand architect or the master builder or the master architect? Where does that visualization or terminology come from? There we go. So, yeah, that question is going to. come up. Thank you, Eric. Appreciate you. Question, Brother Dante, it took wisdom to create man. Y'all said, let us make man in our image. So us had to be before wisdom, in my opinion. We're going to talk about that. We're definitely going to touch on that. Thank you for that. We're definitely going to touch on that, the let us create man in our image. We're going to get into that probably in study three. I told some of you earlier, this is going to be a three, possibly four-part study on creation because This stuff is important. There it is. Compass, protractors, rulers, et cetera. So wisdom is setting up the image of God as a designer. He anchored down the mountains. He used a compass to draw the horizon on the abyss. So yeah, we're going to, there we go. Protractor. There we go. Protractor. That's the word I was looking for. Protractor. Thank you, everybody there. Let me see. Thank you, everybody, correcting me on that. Protractor. Let me see. When you get into the master builder architect, you start going to esoteric language. That's a fine line. Now we're going to talk about that. Where does it come from? Where does the origin of the master builder architect come from? A lot of people say it's esoteric language, but I understand that a lot of the esoteric stuff comes from the Bible. It's people who take Bible stuff and they run with it and they turn it into another thing. So let's keep going. Thank you, Brother Karis. Yes, please get those likes up. Please keep sharing. We got 409 people in here. Please get the likes up and keep sharing. All right, we're going to keep going because we're getting to see some stuff here. So when he prepared the heavens, wisdom was there. When he set a compass or drew the horizon upon the face of the depth or the abyss or the sea or the waters, which you just went over, wisdom was there. When he established the clouds above, when he strengthened the fountains. of the deep. And both of these words in the strongs here, if you want to go check them out for yourself, both of these words refer to him making them strong or let me see, I'll show you to be stout, strong, bold, alert. This word is amats and that is a reference to the clouds. And then it says he strengthened the fountains. That is pretty straightforward right there. And he used Azaz, which means to be strong. So he made the fountain strong. He made the clouds above strong. And we're going to see a reference to the clouds holding the waters and they're not torn. We're going to we're going to get into a lot of deep stuff as we study the creation. This is why for those that were in the Q&A, I said, I think the words to describe God that we use are very inadequate to accurately. um describe him because we see here that there was a a personal involvement in the creation he he used i'm not gonna say tools but he's being described as an architect and uh thank you big red appreciate you esoterics and pagan stole from y'all the watchers are just copycats and y'all is the source of all i agree let me go ahead and share my screen All right, here we go. Now I'm gonna show you guys this architect thing as we as we get here. So he established the clouds and made the clouds strong, made the strength in the fountains of the deep. It says when he gave to the sea his decree that the water should not pass his commandment when he appointed the foundations of the earth. All right. So now he assigns. limits to the waters that they can't go past a certain point and he appointed the foundation of the earth so we're going to go look at the strongs again so right here we're going to look at this word assigned to put in place or to set and we're going to come down here to the strongs exhaustive this is super long All right, here we go. To appoint, bring, call a name, care, cast in chains, or charge. So he set the rules up. He gave rules to the sea. Now, this is important that the waters should not pass his commandment. Let's look. Transgress. It uses the word transgress right here. So now to disobey the law. So let me restate that. So sin is transgression of the law, right? So we got the law through the commandments. So to disobey that commandment is a transgression. So he gave the sea a commandment. The water is a commandment. It says, look, you can't go past here. They could not transgress his commandment to pass over through or by to pass on. They could not go past or transgress his commandment and will come down to strong, exhaustive. to alienate, alter at all, beyond, bring over, through, carry over, overcome on. So basically, the sea, the waters could not go past his commandment. Now, remember Christ, remember when they were in the boat and Christ commanded the waters? We kind of get hints of different things going on. Again, I'm not equating Christ to wisdom at all, because remember, wisdom is not saying she gave commandments to the sea. She said she was by God's side. Well, we're going to get to that part. Wisdom says she eyewitnessed this. as this was happening. So the mountains were anchored. I'm just recapping. The mountains were anchored. God drew the horizon. And now we're seeing that he's giving specific commands to the sea, which we don't see in Genesis, that the water should not pass his commandment when he appointed the foundations of the earth. So we'll look at this word appointed. Right here, it says marked out the foundations of the earth. Again, this is architect talk. And again, some people think that the architect has to do with esoteric stuff and the occult. It says, again, the same word to cut in and scribe or decree. And we'll come down here. Appoint, decree, govern, grave, lawgiver, note, portray or print. So he appointed the foundations of the earth, which, as we saw, he marked out the foundations of the earth. So. He's drawn a horizon and now he's marking out foundations. God is building something. He's building the creation. He's not just speaking it into existence as a general. He's also paying attention to the minor details. That's important as well to understand that he paid attention to the minor details and he had a personal touch. Thank you, Shirley. Appreciate you. Since water was already there in Genesis one, could this suggest previous life form? or world. We're going to talk about that. Some people believe that there was a creation here prior to mankind in general, and some people believe that there was a separate set of humans from Adam. We're going to talk about all that during this study, but it's important to understand the details because it's important to understand the details of all this. Shout out to Brother Rawls. I was looking for you. Get in touch with me, Brother Rawls. Send me a... A message or call my phone after this is over, please. I want to get the music thing set up for Hebrew Sphere now that the app trial is out or the app test is out for the patrons and the Kickstarter supporters. All right. So now this architect talk, God is drawing up the earth and taking a personal involvement, personally putting his hand in the creation. This was not a willy nilly project where he was just like, all right, I'm just going for six days. No, he was he was working on this. So he marks out the foundations for the earth. Let me almost forgot to share my screen. Let me share my screen again. All right. Here we go. It says then was I by him. Then I was by him. as one brought up with him. And I was daily his delight rejoicing always before him. We're going to take these two verses together, rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth. And my delights were with the sons of men. There's a lot packed into these two verses. So we're going to take our time with this. So it says, then was I right here. Then I was by him. We'll take that part. And I was beside him. You see here. joined together proximity or close to him at hard by beside near unto toward so Wisdom was beside him again Eyewitness position as one brought up with him right here beside him as what does this say? It's translated as one brought up with him, but I was beside him as an artificer, an architect, master workman. It's referring to God, referring to God as he was just like he was a master architect or working. And wisdom was the understudy right next to him. Artificer, architect, master workman. So this idea of the divine architect, the master architect, all of that strong, exhaustive as one brought up is probably in the sense of training skilled. i.e. an architect, one brought up. So this idea of the architect is not 100% from esoteric teachings. We see the idea of the architect or God being the architect is found right there in scripture in Proverbs chapter eight. Let me see. Thank you, Big Red again. Appreciate it. The golden ratio is an example of y'all's fingerprint. It's found in everything from plant growth to shapes. to even rabbit birth. That's a good observation. Matter of fact, I'm going to share my screen. And I'm glad you brought up the golden ratio. Let me remove you from there. But I'm glad you brought up the golden ratio. Let's see. I'm going to share my screen and we're going to detour real quick to the golden ratio. Make sure you hit the thumbs up. We got 432 people in here. So what is the golden ratio right here? 1.618. You guys see these numbers. It says in mathematics, two quantities are in the golden ratio. If their ratio is the same as the ratio of their sum to the larger of the two quantities. So this golden ratio comes up. How do you calculate the golden ratio? What's the golden ratio of simple terms? It is the ratio of a line segment cut into two pieces of different links such that the ratio of the whole segment to that of the longer segment is equal to the ratio. of the longer segment to the shorter segment. Have a mathematician explain that to you. But I've watched tons of videos on it and I still don't feel qualified to explain it to anybody. But yeah, the golden ratio does come up a lot. All right. So now we have the reference to the architect is found in Proverbs 830. So if people are telling you that originates with esoteric thought, make sure you point them to Proverbs 830. And I wouldn't call that person a false teacher, even trying to be deceptive. because that is the popular teaching out there. And a lot of people don't necessarily know to look in specific parts of the Bible to find out where the reference to God being an architect is even mentioned. So understand that the occult, a lot of these people that come out of the occult and esoteric teachings, they have studied the Bible really deep. Ernest Higg isn't the name of the controller in the matrix, the architect. They hijacked the most high. Yes, they call him the architect. Which is they probably got it from Freemasonry, to be honest, but he does. He's supposed to be God. If you understand what's going on in the Matrix and the Oracle, in my opinion, is supposed to be wisdom. This is a reference to that, because remember, wisdom is next to God during the creation, according to the Bible. And the Matrix played off a lot of these spiritual themes. And so you have. personified female next to the architect during creation in the matrix and again, I'm not getting too much Into the into the signs and symbols in the matrix. Thank you Jubilee years I'm not gonna get too much in the signs and symbol as a matrix because to me that's a rabbit hole just like in the matrix That it could be neither here nor there. It doesn't even matter It's just a movie and people put symbology in stuff all the time. It doesn't change the word of God at all. Some stuff just illuminates what the word has already told us. And then we go back and pay attention to it. All right. So let's keep going because we're coming up on an hour and I want to keep you guys too long. Now, this part is interesting right here. It says, and I was daily his delight rejoicing always before him. So now let's look at the word delight and we're going to see some interesting stuff here. A delight and a delight, a pleasure. We see delightful up here. And so we get day by day rejoicing. Now, this word is interesting right here. So wisdom delighted God. It says rejoicing. This word is to laugh, amuse, amusing, celebrate, celebrating, hold a contest, laugh them to scorn. Merrymakers mocked. I'm guessing based on context, laughing hard or having fun like right here. Make merry to play, rejoice, mocker. And I'm guessing it wasn't she wisdom wasn't deriding or mocking God. So we can take that out of the equation. So wisdom was rejoicing or being merry or laughing as God was creating. And that's not far off from something else we're going to read later on from a different perspective. It says before him. And then we're going to we're going to look at the word always a second. Or in front of his face, you'll see right here if you want to read through all these. So this is what wisdom wisdom was rejoicing in front of God as he created all of this stuff. All these are long. Some of these are super long, except anger is long a battle because besieged countenance. We can go through here and read all this stuff. But the context after you go through and read all of this stuff, the context is that wisdom was rejoicing in front of God during the creation. And this was a delight of God. This was to his delight, his enjoyment. So we get a piece of God's personality. He enjoys to see people rejoice and have fun or specifically wisdom in this case. But he enjoys the rejoicing, laughing, fun, making merry, good times, rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth. And my delights were with the sons of men. Now we're going to, we're take our time here because it's going to bring us to the part in Genesis. Now, rejoicing, we just read that, in the inhabited part of his world. So now, right here, this is translated as world, but inhabited, inhabited world. So this is how it's translated. So in the inhabited part of his world, and notice they use two different words for world here. Even though the first one said could be worse. So the inhabitable part or the inhabited part of his earth. And it's going to say my delights were with the sons of Adam. We're going to come back to that and say, well, look at the word delights. A delight, delightful pleasure. So she enjoyed being around the sons of Adam. So now we didn't we didn't got into the. creation stuff. And now we have a reference to Adam. And I'll show you guys right here. I'm going to make it large so you can see it. Her delight was with the sons of Adam. So God delighted in wisdom and wisdom delighted in the sons of Adam or man or mankind, Adam right there. So now this is important because when you get into Genesis six and you start talking about the sons of God and the daughters of men, let me show you. Thank you, Lizzie. Appreciate you. Let me come over here to my Genesis tab and pull up Genesis 6. This is important. These phrases, these terminologies are important because she said her delights with the sons of Adam. So you wouldn't confuse those and say, well, she's only talking about the sons of Seth. And you wouldn't confuse those and say, she's talking about the sons of God. But now let me see here. Let me share my screen. So we just saw that her delights were with the sons of Adam. Now, some people right here, Genesis six. This is verse one. Let me go to Genesis six once I can read it to you guys plainly. And then we'll look at the look at what it means in the Strong's. And it came to pass when men began to multiply on the face of the earth and daughters were born unto them. that the sons of god saw the daughters of men that they were fair and they took them of wives of all which they chose so now if you come here genesis 6 and it came to pass when men or adam right here again strong's 120 when adam began to multiply it's not giving you a subset it doesn't say seth began to multiply this is important because they people who push this fake sethite theory instead just telling the truth and saying it's angels, they want you to believe that it's referring to the sons of Seth. Seth's name is not mentioned. So when Adam began to multiply, on the face of the earth and daughters were born to them. So mankind began to multiply and daughters were born to them that the sons of Elohim, these are different. Remember wisdom said she was with the sons of Adam. And here we have a reference to the daughters of Adam. And now we have a third group, the sons of Elohim. Elohim is not Adam and Elohim is not Cain. So when people tell you that the sons of God are the sons of Seth, are the sons of God, are the sons of Seth, and that the daughters of Adam, again, so daughters of Adam, they will try to tell you that these are really the daughters of Cain. We don't see that in scripture. We can see that that's a lie because wisdom tells us that there were sons of Adam, and then Genesis tells us that there were daughters of Adam, and then we get a third group. we get introduced the sons of God, the benign Elohim, the sons of God, the sons of Elohim. So people are going to tell you that these are really the sons of Seth, the righteous sons of Seth. Make them explain from Proverbs 8, who are the sons of Adam? It would have to include the Sethites, which means the daughters of Adam would have to include all the female lineage of Adam. So the sons of God have to be a third group. I hope that makes sense. So wisdom was rejoicing with the sons of Adam. Let me go down here. Let me go back up some. Thank you, Elliston. Appreciate you. All right. So now let's keep going on. Make sure I didn't skip anything before we go. All right. All right. So now we see there that there are three distinct groups mentioned in scripture. We'll come back to all of that stuff. But the sons of Adam are mentioned, the daughters of Adam. And then there's a third group, the sons of God. Anybody telling you that the sons of God were the righteous sons of Seth? They need to explain then who the sons of God are. I mean, the sons of Adam are if they're going to say that did not include the Sethites. then they're lying to you. And if they say that it does include the Sethites, ask why the terminology, different terminology was used. And if they admit that the sons of Adam in Proverbs 8 are descendants of Adam, ask them to explain who the daughters of Adam are in Genesis 6, because they try to make those the daughters of Cain specifically, and you have to apply it equally. If you're going to say the sons of Adam are all the sons of Adam. You have to say the daughters of Adam are all the daughters of Adam. Then who are the sons of God? They are angels. As many of us know, based on study, we know the specific term, but I hello, but not Elohim is used to refer to angels in the old Testament. And we even have at one time in the Aramaic and a slightly different, I think it's benign LO or Ella. I have to check to make sure on that. All right. So now. Wisdom was rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth and her delights were with the sons of Adam. So wisdom has told you who she was given the resume. Say, hey, if you listen to me, this is what you'll get. This is who I am. She gives her eyewitness testimony of the creation, even telling us how some of it was done. The anchoring of the mountains, the strengthening of the fountains, the strengthening of the clouds, the drawing of the horizon, the. planning out the foundations of the earth. We see that God had his hand in this giving specific decrees to the waters. We don't get this in the book of Genesis. We get these details in the book of Proverbs from a being, again, a being represented as a female who claims to be an eyewitness of these events prior to the creation of the abyss, prior to the creation of the earth, prior to the creation of humanity. And we get some insight that God enjoys wisdom's rejoicing. So it gives us, again, insight into God, to call God powerful. Oh, but wait a minute. We also get that imagery of God as an architect, which I pointed out. So some people think it comes from esoteric teachings, but it does indeed come from the Bible. So we get all of that from these verses in Proverbs 8, which is really important to understanding the power of God. of being so powerful that they can tell the sea, you don't go past here. And again, that tells us something about the power of Christ when he commanded the sea in the New Testament and he made the sea calm down. The sea cannot transgress the commandment of God. This is why people say that Christ is both God and man at the same time, because he displays certain attributes that can only be attributed to God. But he also has attributes that can be attributed to man, the God man. Or the hypostatic union for those in seminary who like to use big words so that people can ask them, what's hypostatic union mean? And then they get to lord over them, their explanation and all that. So when you hear these seminary graduates ask you what the hypostatic union is, it's Christ is the God man, Christ, both God and man at the same time. But, yeah, we see we get to see a lot of insight from wisdom. So, again, I ask you the question, which book are we going to cover as the main topic of part two? Because, remember, we're trying to go in. order here. So we started before the beginning or from everlasting, and now we're going to work our way toward the last thing that was created. So let me keep going. We got a little bit more, just a little bit, not much. Try to wrap this up in a minute. All right. So now, therefore, hearken unto me, O ye children, for blessed are they that keep my ways. So wisdom has given the resume and says, look, I've been around since before time was time. I'm telling you what you need to do. You need to listen to me. And this is why you need to listen to me. This is what I saw with my own eyes. This is what I witnessed. This is what happened before you existed. Now, therefore, hearken or listen unto me, O ye children, for blessed are they that keep my ways. Hear instruction and be wise and refuse it not. Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the post of my doors, for whoso findeth me findeth life. and shall obtain favor of the Lord. Because remember, the Lord delighted in wisdom. And now if you keep wisdom's ways or instructions, it says, blessed are they to keep my ways. So if the Lord delighted in wisdom and you keep the ways of wisdom, then the Lord, you will find, obtain favor of the Lord. We're not talking about salvation necessarily at all. We're talking about just advice, common sense advice. If the Lord delights in wisdom and wisdom say, Hey, he delights in me. So do what I do or learn what I have to offer. I'll say it that way. Correct. More correctly, learn what I have to offer and you will obtain favor with the Lord. But he that sinneth against me wrong with his own soul. All that hate me love death. The opposite of being wise is being foolish. And we see throughout the Bible, a lot of stuff. pertaining to people being foolish and a lot of stuff pertaining to wisdom. So if you hate wisdom, the opposite of that is loving foolishness. I hope that makes sense. And foolishness leads to death, physical death, but probably spiritual death as well. But to hate wisdom is to love foolishness. So now Proverbs 8 to me is a very important chapter when we look at creation. To me, you can't mention creation without mentioning Proverbs 8. So again, I'm going to ask you guys, which book of the Bible are we going to cover as the main topic of part two? Because it's important. It's going to cause some of y'all to do some reading. And a lot of some of y'all, not a lot. Some of y'all thought that we were going to start with Genesis today. We did not start with Genesis. And I will give you a hint. Genesis will not be the main subject of part two when we get into the second part of creation. What was going on? What was created first, second, third, fourth, fifth, all that stuff. So I'm going to close this with the reading from Job. But first, I'll give you guys a couple announcements, a couple couple statements, couple observations, stuff like that. So wisdom. does not claim to hover over the face of the waters. That's important for when we get to the other study about wisdom being the Holy Spirit or not, or Christ or not, male or female. Wisdom does not claim to hover over the face of the waters. That's interestingly absent from wisdom's personal account. Even though wisdom specifically mentions the abyss, to me, that would be the perfect time to mention hovering over the abyss. We'll come back to that. Wisdom identifies as female, which I kept pointing out for a reason. And the study, as I mentioned, is coming soon for this, for the wisdom, you know, being the Holy Spirit and stuff. So that's in my notes. All right. Let me pull up the verses I'm going to close with, because I think this summarizes a lot of what we went over. I think there's a really, really, really a good summary right here. I don't want to give too much of it away. All right. A summary to the power of God. And it's interesting. It's subtitled The Greatness of God. I'm going to share my screen. And this is right out of scripture. One more time before we end, I'm going to say this. I think a lot of the words we use, powerful, awesome, magnificent, stuff that we use to describe God, stuff that we use to describe God. I see you, Eric Tinsley. I don't know if I'm going to play that today. But the stuff we use to describe God is very inadequate. To understand... that God created the heavens and the earth is one thing, but to understand that God created a being, he created a witness to his creation before he created it. Let me take a sip of water real quick. God brought forth an eyewitness to his creation before he created it. God fastened the mountains to the ground or sank the mountains into the ground. Now imagine a being that powerful that they can anchor mountains to the ground. God made the cloud strong enough to hold water. We know that water is heavy and falls to the ground and yet clouds stay up. It's a lot going on. I'm pretty sure all this stuff can be explained by certain sciences. I haven't bothered to look, but the Bible tells us a being did that. A being strengthened the fountains of the earth. A being told the waters, you cannot go past this point unless I say so. It says he drew out the horizon. Imagine the power of a being. We look at the horizon and we can debate on flat earth, round earth, whatever you want to call it, but the being powerful enough to draw the horizon, to sketch out, lay out foundations for a creation, a planet. Again, whatever word you want to use, whether flat or not, a being actually planned out the creation of this planet we live on, this earth we live on, and the people and animals and everything on it, sat there and he understood that he had the power to make this happen. It wasn't like some dream or fantasy where some of us say, we want to build this thing that seems impossible. And if we get funding, maybe we can make it happen. No, he had his own power and he knew that. He could sit there and in a week do all of this stuff, write down all the rules, put all the rules in place. The planet is the perfect size. He could breathe life into the beings that he wanted to put on the planet. And later on, we're going to talk about the statement. Heaven is my throne and earth is my footstool. What house shall you build for me? What does that really say about God when he compares the earth? We look at the creation of earth in in awe of God's power and God nonchalantly describes it as a footstool. Again, God is a creator. So if heaven is his throne and earth is his footstool, what's the rest of the furniture in the house? What is the house itself? What is the castle or whatever terminology you want to use where God dwells? If heaven is just the throne and earth is just the footstool, is there more to the creation that we don't know? Because remember, I has not seen nor has entered into the hearts of man the thing that God has prepared for him. What else is out there that we don't even yet comprehend? And one of the one of the I should have pulled up the scene before this, but the scene that comes to mind, I think my favorite part of Men in Black is at the end when he showed him, you know, when he showed him the universe in the locker. And then. at the end of the movie he went and kicked open the door and they were just a universe in a locker and then it showed this being playing marbles with the earth against other you know creations that it alluded to and i thought that that one scene was so deep thank you angie love i thought that scene was so deep because of the verse where it says heaven is my throne and earth is my footstool what house should you build for me it just it summarizes the the awesomeness of God so big that we can't even comprehend, begin to comprehend. What else is possibly out there waiting for us? So anyway, I do want to end on that note. Thank you guys for coming out. Make sure you hit the thumbs up. Make sure you share this.

I got at least two, maybe three more parts of this study coming, and we're going to dig deep into the details and really look at how awesome the most high is. And again, I think that word is a huge understatement when we really start to study the power of the- being that chose a people that came down, that sacrificed, that rose again, the being that we believe in, all the stuff that he put in place, all the prophecies, the one that believed or can tell the beginning from the ending. I don't think there's words to summarize the magnificence of a being like the most high, but we're going to do our best to get as close to the truth as possible. So. With that said, until next time, I'm out.

Hey, what's up everybody? It's Dante Fortson. We are back. We're going to be studying the true order of creation according to the Bible.

Shout out to everybody that came over from the Q&A to right now. If you guys can hear me, go ahead and press the one. If you cannot hear me or if it's broken or messed up, go ahead and press the two.

Yeah, we, yeah. Well, I'm only four minutes late. But yeah, I definitely had to get some water, though.

I'm going to open this up with a few questions. Oh, wait. Two more announcements. The Hebrews for your app, for those that are patrons and those that are Kickstarter supporters. If you did not get those notifications.

The Hebrew Sphere app is now available. It will be available to everyone else starting the first week of June. The announcement on the specific date will come as we get closer. And the Black History in the Bible app is coming too. The BHITB app will be here toward the end of June.

The Awakening Study Bible, the first five books of Moses, the Torah have been added. to black history in the bible.com for those that don't know about that project it's a it's an ongoing project that i've been working on for a while um yeah it's just taking longer a lot longer than expected because i have so much other stuff going on but the entire torah has been added and as new information becomes available um it gets added to black history in the bible as a whole the words get tagged everything gets cataloged and so when certain words appear within the biblical text you can click those words Um, and you will get definitions, you will get pictures, you will get historical information and everything else. So black history in the Bible right now is going undergoing a few gradual changes as it becomes more of a resource for Israelites to use to study the Bible. Cause you know, everybody else got their study Bibles and their sites and all that stuff out there.

Why can't we have one for us? So if you guys want to write commentary, if you guys want to, um, Add history. Feel free to go to black history in the Bible dot com. Sign up as a curator.

Shout out to Christian Jackson. That brother has been a huge help, a huge help submitting hundreds of articles and stuff that is still not approved. I'm working on a small glitch that's keeping me from making him a curator three where he can approve more of the articles and we can start.

vetting more of these articles and getting them out there for everybody. But again, shout out to Christian Jackson for that. All right.

So I got two questions before we start this study. I asked these to the people in the Q and a who or what was the first creation of God, according to the Bible, who or what was the first creation of God, according to the Bible, shout out to the moderators. Make sure you guys stay on it, but do not. Try not to get people who are regulars, people who are participating. Make sure you read their comment a couple of times before you just react and then put them on timeout.

Please don't block anybody from the channel unless they're saying crazy stuff. And when I say crazy, I mean just outright cussing or putting crazy stuff in the chat that's racist, stuff like that. So make sure you guys differentiate, try to differentiate between... Who should be here and who probably shouldn't be here?

All right. Let me let me see here. I just want to make sure.

All right. Cool. All right. So we got 204 people in the chat.

Hit the thumbs up. Please keep sharing. We're about to go ahead and get started.

I see. Let me let me post some of these answers to my question. All right, some of these we had earlier, but it's okay to post them again because that was in a whole different chat. There was a lot of answers.

Who or what was the first creation of God according to the Bible? There's a lot of thoughts here, a lot of people having different answers. And we're going to we're going to talk about the answer today. I think a lot of these are good answers. And to understand where some of these answers come from, you have to understand that a lot of us came out of different Christian churches with different belief systems.

And so we've probably been around a lot of different teachings. All right. Let me see. Thank you, Pugna. Appreciate it.

All right. So. We have a lot of different answers, as you guys can see, who or what was the first creation, according to the Bible.

Now, it's natural to start at Genesis because it's the first book of the Bible, and naturally you begin reading from the beginning of the book. Unless, of course, you go to some mainstream Christian churches, you start reading from the middle of the book. And you start at Matthew instead of Genesis, and you read Matthew to Revelation, and then you go back and cherry pick.

Genesis through Malachi. But most people that know how to read books start at Genesis. And so it says in the beginning was the word, I'm sorry, that's John.

In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth. So this is a natural starting point. So yeah. But if you keep reading the book, you will find that there are references that predate. the Genesis account based on what's being said.

And so those of you who guessed Proverbs 8, you are correct. Proverbs 8 is where we're going to start. Now I'm going to ask you a question for next study, and I'm going to give out two prizes. And these prizes are only available to the first two people that answer correctly. First two, not everybody, first two people that answer correctly.

And this is for the next study. Now, here's how you submit your answers. Don't post your answers in the chat.

I'm going to say it one more time. Do not post your answers in the chat. You must send me a message on Hebrews fear.

The first two people with the correct answer will win a prize when we do part two of the study. The question is, which book are we going to cover as a main topic of part two? Thank you, Tana. Appreciate you.

Which book? are we going to cover as a main topic in part two? Now, again, you have to submit your answer to your question through Hebrewsphere. Send me a message. The first two people with the correct answer on which book we're going to cover as the main topic for part two, they will win prizes, one prize each.

All right. Let me see here. Okay.

All right. So I'll try to get to you guys'questions. If you have questions as we go through, I'll try to keep up with the chat while we're doing the study.

It takes a lot to do that. I'm getting I'm getting more and more used to it the more I do it. But yes, it's it's an interesting thing going back and forth, trying to keep up with the live. Shout out to the people who do it seamlessly and make it seem like it ain't no effort at all.

Um, so yeah, if you have questions, post them. If you want me to see them more visibly, drop a super chat. The super chats are colored. They come up yellow, green, blue. They stand out from everybody else's.

If you a hundred percent want me to see it, you don't have to, I'm still looking through the comments, but if you definitely want me to see it, um, please do. Thank you. Way. Appreciate you.

Um, this is what I mean right here. So this is, this is the color green that pops up on my screen when I, in the comments. uh yellow green i think red blue and some other colors i don't know but yeah if you definitely want me to see your question and please keep your question about the study not everything else please um yeah and we'll go ahead and get started i've not studied the bible in many years after leaving these churches a bit rusty but happy to be learning shout out to you it's always better to um you know come back when you when you have your mind clear to really study and focus um Yes. One more time.

The question for next week. And you have to send it through Hebrew sphere. A message to me directly. Question.

Which book are we going to cover as a main topic in part two? That is the question for next week's prize winners. All right.

So we're going to go to Proverbs 8. Everybody with the Bible, you can go to Proverbs 8 if you want to keep up. And Proverbs 8 is interesting. I remember reading Proverbs 8 when I was a lot younger and I found it.

to be very interesting for quite a few reasons. One reason is that it gives a history of creation from the perspective of an eyewitness as a firsthand account of somebody who stood there and watched this for themselves. It's also prompted a lot of controversial opinions. Is wisdom the Holy Spirit? Is wisdom Christ?

Those are questions that people have. Some people teach that one thing and some people teach another. I don't want to get ahead of myself, but we're going to start in Proverbs 8. And this is something you don't get if you don't read the full Bible in its context, starting from Genesis. I mean, if you read Proverbs, you'll catch it.

You don't have to necessarily start from Genesis. But if you want the Bible in its full context, start from Genesis. And a lot of people...

love to do line upon line and precept upon precept studies. Those are great for that. But then you have historical studies where you put them in context, and then you have studies by subject where you go through and you take everything the Bible specifically says about this subject, and you do studies on those as well.

So there's lots of different layers at which you could study the Bible. And these right here, what we're doing on creation, it's more of a topical Bible study, not a line upon line study. or a chronological study, or I guess technically it's a historical study, but we're going to do a topical study for this.

Shout out to you, brother Keith Williams. Yeah, let's see who else. All right, cool. All right, so we're going to go to Proverbs 8 first, and we're going to start reading at verse 1, and I'm going to try to keep this to the point and not get sidetracked. All right, let me share my screen.

All right, here we go. Proverbs 8, starting at verse 1. And I'm using Blue Letter Bible for those who don't know. If you've not grabbed your copy of Undeniable, let me drop this in the link so I can close this tab.

Undeniable is a great book if you want to see full color evidence of black Israelites in the Bible. As you can see, it has 812 reviews, 4.8 out of 5 stars. Make sure you grab your copy. And again, if you have not signed up to hebrewsphere.com, to submit your answers or to communicate with like-minded Israelites, please do so. The app is coming the first week of June.

All right, Proverbs 8. Here we go. Doth not wisdom cry and understanding put forth her voice? So here we see the personification of wisdom.

We see crying, which most of us think of it as a human trait, a voice. Again, most of us think of this as a human trait, not saying that wisdom is human, but just more so the personification of wisdom in the context that we can understand as human. Verse two, she standeth in the top of the high places, by the way, in the places of the paths. So notice the pronouns her and she are being used. This is being described as a feminine being.

And this is important because when people tell you this is Jesus, make them explain the contradiction of why Jesus is called a she here versus a he in the New Testament. And the same thing with the spirit, the Holy Spirit. Make them explain to you why the Holy Spirit is called she here, but he there.

Is God interchangeable with genders? Can he transgender? Is he what you would call it?

Hermaphrodite? Make sure people explain this to you. She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in, at the doors.

Unto you, O men, I call and my voice is to the sons of man. O ye simple, understand wisdom and ye fools be of an understanding heart. Here.

for i will speak of excellent things and the opening of my lips shall be right things for my mouth shall speak truth and wickedness is an abomination to my lips now understand this is an introduction wisdom is introducing herself through these words all of the words of my mouth are in righteousness there is nothing forward or perverse in them they are all plain to him that understandeth and write to them that find knowledge receive my instruction and not silver and knowledge rather than choice gold For wisdom is better than rubies, and all things that may be desired are not to be compared to it. I, wisdom, dwell with prudence and find out knowledge of witty inventions. The fear of the Lord is to hate evil, pride and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the forward mouth do I hate. Counsel is mine and sound wisdom.

I am understanding. I have strength. By me, kings reign and princes decree justice.

By me, princes rule and nobles, even all the judges of the earth. I love them that love me and those that seek me early shall find me. Riches and honor are with me. Yay. Durable riches and righteousness.

My fruit is better than gold. Yay. Then find gold and my revenue than choice silver.

I lead in the way of righteousness in the midst of the path paths of judgment that I that I may cause those that love me to inherit substance and I will fill their treasures. All right. So a lot of King Solomon stuff up in there. All right, let me see here.

All right, so we have wisdom introducing herself, wisdom personified, wisdom presented as a female, a woman. And again, if somebody's going to tell you it's Christ, make them explain the contradiction as to why Christ is referred to as a woman and Christ is referred to as her. in Proverbs 8 and why Christ is suddenly a man in the New Testament. Same thing with the Holy Spirit.

All right. So these are things they have to explain if they're going to take those positions. So now I stopped right there for a reason, because now as we get into verse 22 onward, we're going to talk about the creation, which is the whole point of this series, the creation.

And we're going to do a study on wisdom. The wisdom study is going to come later. And we're going to talk about those comparisons when people say this is Christ and people say this is the Holy Spirit. We're going to talk about that later in its own study, which is why I was just reading the intro.

All right. Let's see here. So we have the personification of wisdom, her, she, the feminization of wisdom.

If you want to call it that wisdom cries, wisdom speaks. Now, we're going to get some insight from wisdom about the creation here, not only about the creation, but about God and about what was going on before Genesis 1. And again, I want to ask the question so it's on your minds. Which book are we going to cover as the main topic of part two? Because we're going in the order of creation, according to the Bible. So the first two people to guess will win a prize.

All right. So we're going to go back to. to verse 22 and what we're going to use is biblehub.com um and it's interlinear hold on let me get there before i share my screen but we're gonna we're gonna be switching back and forth between blue letter bible and biblehub.com and for those that want to get prepared on biblehub.com type in proverbs 8 and then click the interlinear link and it will take our proverbs 8 verse 22 and then click the interlinear link And it's going to take you right to where we are. And if you're following along in the Bible, we're going to be picking up now at Proverbs 8, 22. For those just joining us, we are talking about the true order of creation, according to the Bible. All right, here we go.

Is wisdom where they get their mother nature from? Possibly. But there are also all kinds of different belief systems surrounding queens of heaven and all kind of other different things. So, yeah, that's a good question, though. It is possibly where they get it from, but not necessarily the only place they get it from.

All right, here we go. Let me share my screen and we're getting back into Proverbs 8 verse 22. We're going to take these one verse at a time to a certain point and then we'll read the rest and then we'll end it for the day. All right, so Proverbs 8 22, the Lord possessed me in the beginning of his way before his works of old.

All right, so somebody asked me... in the Q&A session. How do I do my studies? I tend to start right here with scripture, and then I'll jump over to here.

This is biblehub.com. For those that don't know, right about here, you can type in Proverbs 8.22, and then after you search for it, click interlinear, and it'll bring you here. So we see here the word used, Yahweh possessed me at the beginning of his way. So if you want to see what these words mean, you just simply Click this.

I'm opening a new tab so we don't lose it. You click this. You come over to here and you can see what it means.

Get acquired. So Yahweh acquired or get or bought or again, acquisition. Same thing. Purchase.

Go down here to the strong, exhaustive, attained buyer. Teach to keep keep cattle so that we know that's probably not what it means to get provoked to jealousy possessor. or purchase. So in context, we can see that Yahweh possessed wisdom at the beginning. So let's look at this word beginning and see when.

Rashid, beginning, the chief. Go down here. The first fruits, the principal thing, part, time. So beginning in context.

So Yahweh possessed wisdom in the beginning. of his way. Look up his way. The road, the distance, the journey.

Okay, the way. Before. Now, this is where it gets interesting. Before.

Let me click that. So, formally, before, the word right here is kadem. Before his works. from back then or or more so we're gonna we're gonna look at a few of these and the reason i'm looking at all these now is because i want to show you guys some stuff later so before the works or something he made let's see back then all right at that time um and then we'll come down to here beginning hitherto now from old right so now you Wisdom was possessed by the Lord before his works of old. So which works is wisdom talking about?

Now, wisdom is going to give us some insight here. I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. So this right here tells us this happened prior to Genesis 1.1, because Genesis 1.1 tells us in the beginning.

God created the heavens and the earth. Now we're going to we're going to go to Genesis one one in a second. I'm pulling that up because we're going to reference Genesis a couple of times in this study and in a bunch more later on.

So give me a second to get to Genesis. Now, wisdom is actually going to give us two indications of the time period being talked about, because you have people who will debate and say that, well, everything had to be create be created. between the first and the seventh day or the first and the sixth day because God rested on the seventh day. And then some people even toss in an eighth day creation on it. But wisdom is telling us that.

Let me make sure I say it right. Wisdom was possessed from the beginning and was set up from everlasting from the beginning or ever or before the earth ever existed. So let me go ahead and share my screen. So you guys can see this stuff right here. All right, please hit the thumbs up button.

We got 356 people in here right now. Please hit the thumbs up button. All right, right here. All right.

So verse 23, I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. So if we go right here, for those using Bible Hub, if you click this right here to take you to the next verse, you don't have to retype it in every single time. So wisdom was established. right here. Let's look at this word.

established, poured out, to pour out. Let me go down here to the strong is exhaustive, to cover, to melt, to offer, to cause, to pour out, or set up. So let's see, to pour out, especially a libation or to cast metal by analogy, to anoint a king, to cover, to melt, or offer, cause, or to pour, or to set up. So wisdom was set up from everlasting. Now this word everlasting tells us that they're talking about before.

Genesis, long duration, antiquity, futurity, ages, blah, blah, blah. You get the point. You can go through and read all these yourself, but I'll go down to the strongs. From always the ancient times, any more continuance from eternal, everlasting, long time. So wisdom was set up from a long time ago before there was ever an earth.

So we know this had to happen before Genesis 1, and we're going to see more. So front, east, formerly, or before. A foretime, ancient time, before, east, part, side, eternal, everlasting, forward. So based on context, we know that wisdom was set up before Genesis 1. In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth. Wisdom says, I was set up.

from everlasting from the beginning or ever the earth was now if we go down to verse 24 here where when there were no depths i was brought forth when there were no fountains abounding with water this is a very important verse in here because this word depths also appears in genesis says i was brought forth let me go over here to the strongs real quick and we're gonna look at this Um, when there were no depths, this word right here is important. We're not gonna look at every single word in this verse, but there were no depths, right? So there was no deep, there was no sea, there was no abyss. The word right here is to home, to home.

Now I'm gonna leave this up here for a second. I'm gonna go down to Strong's, um, exhaustive. Confusion, the empty place, without form, nothing, vain, vanity, waste.

When there was none of this, wisdom was brought forth. Wisdom is saying, hold on, let me go right here. I'll read it for yourself. Wisdom is claiming to be a created being.

Now, brought forth to world, to dance, to writhe. Hold on, let's go down here. to bear, to make or to bring forth, to make to calve or calving means give birth, to dance, to ride away, fall grievously with pain. So wisdom is being birthed or brought forth. When there were, let me go read the rest.

This is important right here. Let me read the rest of this verse and then we're going to jump over to Genesis. When there were no fountains abounding with water.

All right. So wisdom says they were brought forth from everlasting before the earth ever was before they were before the fountains were abounding with water. Now, this word was to home.

We looked at this word right here when there were no depths. This right here, Psalms eight, Proverbs eight. I'm sorry. Eight twenty four.

When there were no depths. Now we'll come over here to Genesis. Let me open up another one of these so you guys can see the Genesis one. two.

All right. Genesis 1, 2 says, and the earth was without form and void and darkness was upon the face of the deep and the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. Now, throughout this, we're going to read in Proverbs 8, wisdom never claims to move upon the face of the waters. Now, wisdom. This is for the people who say wisdom is the Holy Spirit.

Wisdom does not claim to move over the face of the waters all throughout Proverbs 8. So now the earth was without form and void and darkness was upon the face of the deep. So if we come here, Genesis 1, 2, click interlinear and we look at the word deep. Darkness was over the face of the deep, the deep, the sea, the abyss.

It's the same word to home. It's the same word I left up over left. open over here to home as we saw it over here um to home depths so now wisdom is telling us that she was brought forth before there was an abyss.

So before this event happened in Genesis, which gets into the whole gap theory thing, some people believe, and we'll talk about that later. Wisdom says she was brought forth before this part right here, where there was darkness upon the face of the deep, the abyss, the to home. Wisdom says she was brought forth before this thing ever existed. So that's important right there. Because now we're understanding that this being is talking from a perspective of an eyewitness account.

And the eyewitness testimony is important, especially when it comes to law enforcement. If they want to put somebody in jail, they get eyewitness testimony. They may get a few eyewitness testimonies. A camera is even better. So now we have we have the place.

We have the time. We have the eyewitness. Now, we're going to get even more details of the creation, including some extra attributes of God and some of the events that were taking place before then. This is why it's important to go through these books and do a real, real deep study on these words and see which words are the same. Look at the context and don't just assume because we read in Genesis one, it says in the beginning.

So, again, it's. It's natural to assume that that's where everything started. But this book and other books are going to give us insight into things that took place prior to the creation.

So I'm going to share my screen again and I'm going to keep reading. I was trying to go back up and see what we had here. Make sure you hit those thumbs up.

We got 386 people in here. Make sure you hit the thumbs up. Make sure you share this while we're live. And again, you guys may not agree with everything I'm going to show you, but I'm going to show it to you anyway.

And that's fine if you don't agree. Yeah, make sure you hit the thumbs up. It helps more people find this.

Make sure you share it. And again, you can support via Super Chat or Cash App, cash tag B-H-I-T-B. And for those that want the app coming soon, I'm promoting the app because the app is coming soon. Go to Hebrewsphere.com and set up an account and you can go to Patreon.com if you want to get the app before everybody else this first week of June when it's released. All right.

So now we're going to go back to Proverbs 8, verse 25. Let me make sure I skip anything in 24. So there were no fountains yet. The earth had not been brought forth. There was no abyss. All right. Let me go back in.

OK, cool. All right. There were no depths or no abyss.

So this is before Genesis one. Wisdom claims to be a created being or being that was poured out or brought forth. Where does it ever say Christ?

was brought forth or the Holy Spirit was brought forth? These are the questions you have to ask when people are making these comparisons. It says before the mountains were settled and before the hills was I brought forth. Again, second time wisdom saying they were, or she was brought forth.

Let me make sure. Now here it says where the mountains were settled, and it's easy to kind of skip over this one. But we're going to go to verse 25 because I find it interesting that this word settled.

If we look at it, it has I'd have to, you know, dig deeper into this. But I noticed this as I was doing the study. It says to sink or to sink down.

So the mountains seem to have been sunken into the ground, drowned, sank, settled, sink, sunk, sunk down, fast drowned. fastened, settled, or sinked. So the mountains seem to have been sunk in the ground to keep them there or fastened to the ground. They're describing the creative process saying, look, this is how it happened.

The mountains were fastened down. We don't get that detail in the book of Genesis. Before the hills was I brought forth. So again, telling you the time.

This was before all of this stuff. God created the heavens and the earth. And we know the the hills had to have been created when the earth was created.

Let me go back to Genesis one. We'll go back right here. It says, and God said, let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters and let it divide the waters.

Hold on. Let me let me go down right here. Here we go. And God called the drive back up, back up. And God said, let.

the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place and let the dry land appear and it was so so the dry land appear but where did the water come from if you guys go back and read um up here It says God made the firmament and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament. And it was so. But we never actually see God create water.

Let the firmament be in the midst of the waters and let it divide the waters from the waters. We don't ever see God say, let there be water. So this is another question. Where does water come from? When did God create the water?

And you can go through and read all the way through Genesis yourself for context. When does God say, let there be water? We see that there is water there.

The firmament is separated from it. And then he says, and God said, let the waters under the heaven be gathered together into one place and let the dry land appear. And it was so.

And God called the dry land earth and the gathering together of the waters he calls seas. And God saw that it was good. Then we see him bringing forth grass and herbs and seed. But we don't see him specifically creating the mountains.

and the hills and everything else that we're going to get from Proverbs. It says, while as yet, let me make sure I'm not skipping anything before I continue. While as yet, he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world. So again, wisdom is telling us that she existed before all of this, and she witnessed all of this, and she's going to give a breakdown.

of how several of these things occurred, even some of the personal events that happened concerning God prior to the creation or during the creation and prior to. Thank you, Keith. Appreciate you as well.

For those who want to support, hit the dollar sign in the super chat. All right, we're going to keep going. I'm going to keep checking back to see if you guys have any questions and see if you guys can still hear me and make sure you press those twos if you can't hear me at any point. And I'm just checking back regularly so I don't keep going on and on and not realize that I lost you guys because I didn't did that a couple of times. So, yeah, wisdom so far has revealed that she was created, poured out, existed prior to the creation of the earth, prior to the creation of the abyss or the waters from everlasting and that the earth or that the mountains were fastened down.

or sunk into the ground all right so this verse 26 while he is while he had while as yet he had not made the earth nor the fields nor the highest parts of the dust of the world when he prepared the heavens i was there when he set a compass upon the face of the depth i was there now let me come over here we're not going to go through verse 26 um we get right here God hadn't made the earth. And it says wisdom was or the prime evil dust of the world. So wisdom was saying that this one she was brought forth. So we're going to go to verse 27. Now, when he prepared the heavens, wisdom says she was there. So prepared the heavens to be firm or established the heavens.

Let me make sure I read the right words when he prepared the heavens. So that word is going to be established. Um, this was the word for heavens. Now it says when he drew this word right here to cut in, inscribe or decree. So it says when he set a compass upon the face of the earth, it actually says when he drew or cut or cut in or inscribed a circle.

on the face of the deep. So wait, now we're getting more details. A vault or horizon. This word right here is kug.

So when he drew the horizon, it's translated as circle. But when he drew the circuit, circle, compass, vault, or horizon on the face of the Tahom, wisdom says. She was there when this happened. So we're getting we're getting details on the deep now.

She said, I was there before the deep. I was created before this existed. And I was there when he drew it out or created it. So this this right here, again, eyewitness testimony is so important because now we're getting the small details that we don't get in the book of Genesis. We see that the spirit of God is hovering over the face of the water, but we don't know that he drew the horizon or he measured out the horizon.

For those that are good with math and other stuff, you probably remember the compasses back in the day. I don't know if they still use them. We had a little triangle looking thing and it had a little tiny pencil in it. And you center it and then you turn it and it draws a circle.

It helps you draw a perfect circle. So it's presenting God as a designer. This is how wisdom is portraying God as a designer or an architect.

And we're going to get into the we're going to get into another question. What is the origin of the grand architect or the master builder or the master architect? Where does that visualization or terminology come from? There we go. So, yeah, that question is going to.

come up. Thank you, Eric. Appreciate you. Question, Brother Dante, it took wisdom to create man. Y'all said, let us make man in our image.

So us had to be before wisdom, in my opinion. We're going to talk about that. We're definitely going to touch on that.

Thank you for that. We're definitely going to touch on that, the let us create man in our image. We're going to get into that probably in study three. I told some of you earlier, this is going to be a three, possibly four-part study on creation because This stuff is important. There it is.

Compass, protractors, rulers, et cetera. So wisdom is setting up the image of God as a designer. He anchored down the mountains.

He used a compass to draw the horizon on the abyss. So yeah, we're going to, there we go. Protractor.

There we go. Protractor. That's the word I was looking for. Protractor. Thank you, everybody there.

Let me see. Thank you, everybody, correcting me on that. Protractor.

Let me see. When you get into the master builder architect, you start going to esoteric language. That's a fine line. Now we're going to talk about that.

Where does it come from? Where does the origin of the master builder architect come from? A lot of people say it's esoteric language, but I understand that a lot of the esoteric stuff comes from the Bible.

It's people who take Bible stuff and they run with it and they turn it into another thing. So let's keep going. Thank you, Brother Karis. Yes, please get those likes up. Please keep sharing.

We got 409 people in here. Please get the likes up and keep sharing. All right, we're going to keep going because we're getting to see some stuff here. So when he prepared the heavens, wisdom was there.

When he set a compass or drew the horizon upon the face of the depth or the abyss or the sea or the waters, which you just went over, wisdom was there. When he established the clouds above, when he strengthened the fountains. of the deep.

And both of these words in the strongs here, if you want to go check them out for yourself, both of these words refer to him making them strong or let me see, I'll show you to be stout, strong, bold, alert. This word is amats and that is a reference to the clouds. And then it says he strengthened the fountains.

That is pretty straightforward right there. And he used Azaz, which means to be strong. So he made the fountain strong.

He made the clouds above strong. And we're going to see a reference to the clouds holding the waters and they're not torn. We're going to we're going to get into a lot of deep stuff as we study the creation. This is why for those that were in the Q&A, I said, I think the words to describe God that we use are very inadequate to accurately.

um describe him because we see here that there was a a personal involvement in the creation he he used i'm not gonna say tools but he's being described as an architect and uh thank you big red appreciate you esoterics and pagan stole from y'all the watchers are just copycats and y'all is the source of all i agree let me go ahead and share my screen All right, here we go. Now I'm gonna show you guys this architect thing as we as we get here. So he established the clouds and made the clouds strong, made the strength in the fountains of the deep.

It says when he gave to the sea his decree that the water should not pass his commandment when he appointed the foundations of the earth. All right. So now he assigns. limits to the waters that they can't go past a certain point and he appointed the foundation of the earth so we're going to go look at the strongs again so right here we're going to look at this word assigned to put in place or to set and we're going to come down here to the strongs exhaustive this is super long All right, here we go. To appoint, bring, call a name, care, cast in chains, or charge.

So he set the rules up. He gave rules to the sea. Now, this is important that the waters should not pass his commandment.

Let's look. Transgress. It uses the word transgress right here.

So now to disobey the law. So let me restate that. So sin is transgression of the law, right? So we got the law through the commandments.

So to disobey that commandment is a transgression. So he gave the sea a commandment. The water is a commandment.

It says, look, you can't go past here. They could not transgress his commandment to pass over through or by to pass on. They could not go past or transgress his commandment and will come down to strong, exhaustive. to alienate, alter at all, beyond, bring over, through, carry over, overcome on.

So basically, the sea, the waters could not go past his commandment. Now, remember Christ, remember when they were in the boat and Christ commanded the waters? We kind of get hints of different things going on.

Again, I'm not equating Christ to wisdom at all, because remember, wisdom is not saying she gave commandments to the sea. She said she was by God's side. Well, we're going to get to that part. Wisdom says she eyewitnessed this.

as this was happening. So the mountains were anchored. I'm just recapping. The mountains were anchored.

God drew the horizon. And now we're seeing that he's giving specific commands to the sea, which we don't see in Genesis, that the water should not pass his commandment when he appointed the foundations of the earth. So we'll look at this word appointed.

Right here, it says marked out the foundations of the earth. Again, this is architect talk. And again, some people think that the architect has to do with esoteric stuff and the occult. It says, again, the same word to cut in and scribe or decree.

And we'll come down here. Appoint, decree, govern, grave, lawgiver, note, portray or print. So he appointed the foundations of the earth, which, as we saw, he marked out the foundations of the earth. So.

He's drawn a horizon and now he's marking out foundations. God is building something. He's building the creation.

He's not just speaking it into existence as a general. He's also paying attention to the minor details. That's important as well to understand that he paid attention to the minor details and he had a personal touch.

Thank you, Shirley. Appreciate you. Since water was already there in Genesis one, could this suggest previous life form? or world.

We're going to talk about that. Some people believe that there was a creation here prior to mankind in general, and some people believe that there was a separate set of humans from Adam. We're going to talk about all that during this study, but it's important to understand the details because it's important to understand the details of all this. Shout out to Brother Rawls.

I was looking for you. Get in touch with me, Brother Rawls. Send me a...

A message or call my phone after this is over, please. I want to get the music thing set up for Hebrew Sphere now that the app trial is out or the app test is out for the patrons and the Kickstarter supporters. All right.

So now this architect talk, God is drawing up the earth and taking a personal involvement, personally putting his hand in the creation. This was not a willy nilly project where he was just like, all right, I'm just going for six days. No, he was he was working on this.

So he marks out the foundations for the earth. Let me almost forgot to share my screen. Let me share my screen again.

All right. Here we go. It says then was I by him.

Then I was by him. as one brought up with him. And I was daily his delight rejoicing always before him. We're going to take these two verses together, rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth.

And my delights were with the sons of men. There's a lot packed into these two verses. So we're going to take our time with this. So it says, then was I right here.

Then I was by him. We'll take that part. And I was beside him. You see here. joined together proximity or close to him at hard by beside near unto toward so Wisdom was beside him again Eyewitness position as one brought up with him right here beside him as what does this say?

It's translated as one brought up with him, but I was beside him as an artificer, an architect, master workman. It's referring to God, referring to God as he was just like he was a master architect or working. And wisdom was the understudy right next to him.

Artificer, architect, master workman. So this idea of the divine architect, the master architect, all of that strong, exhaustive as one brought up is probably in the sense of training skilled. i.e. an architect, one brought up.

So this idea of the architect is not 100% from esoteric teachings. We see the idea of the architect or God being the architect is found right there in scripture in Proverbs chapter eight. Let me see.

Thank you, Big Red again. Appreciate it. The golden ratio is an example of y'all's fingerprint.

It's found in everything from plant growth to shapes. to even rabbit birth. That's a good observation. Matter of fact, I'm going to share my screen. And I'm glad you brought up the golden ratio.

Let me remove you from there. But I'm glad you brought up the golden ratio. Let's see. I'm going to share my screen and we're going to detour real quick to the golden ratio.

Make sure you hit the thumbs up. We got 432 people in here. So what is the golden ratio right here?

1.618. You guys see these numbers. It says in mathematics, two quantities are in the golden ratio. If their ratio is the same as the ratio of their sum to the larger of the two quantities. So this golden ratio comes up.

How do you calculate the golden ratio? What's the golden ratio of simple terms? It is the ratio of a line segment cut into two pieces of different links such that the ratio of the whole segment to that of the longer segment is equal to the ratio.

of the longer segment to the shorter segment. Have a mathematician explain that to you. But I've watched tons of videos on it and I still don't feel qualified to explain it to anybody.

But yeah, the golden ratio does come up a lot. All right. So now we have the reference to the architect is found in Proverbs 830. So if people are telling you that originates with esoteric thought, make sure you point them to Proverbs 830. And I wouldn't call that person a false teacher, even trying to be deceptive. because that is the popular teaching out there. And a lot of people don't necessarily know to look in specific parts of the Bible to find out where the reference to God being an architect is even mentioned.

So understand that the occult, a lot of these people that come out of the occult and esoteric teachings, they have studied the Bible really deep. Ernest Higg isn't the name of the controller in the matrix, the architect. They hijacked the most high. Yes, they call him the architect. Which is they probably got it from Freemasonry, to be honest, but he does.

He's supposed to be God. If you understand what's going on in the Matrix and the Oracle, in my opinion, is supposed to be wisdom. This is a reference to that, because remember, wisdom is next to God during the creation, according to the Bible. And the Matrix played off a lot of these spiritual themes.

And so you have. personified female next to the architect during creation in the matrix and again, I'm not getting too much Into the into the signs and symbols in the matrix. Thank you Jubilee years I'm not gonna get too much in the signs and symbol as a matrix because to me that's a rabbit hole just like in the matrix That it could be neither here nor there. It doesn't even matter It's just a movie and people put symbology in stuff all the time. It doesn't change the word of God at all.

Some stuff just illuminates what the word has already told us. And then we go back and pay attention to it. All right. So let's keep going because we're coming up on an hour and I want to keep you guys too long.

Now, this part is interesting right here. It says, and I was daily his delight rejoicing always before him. So now let's look at the word delight and we're going to see some interesting stuff here.

A delight and a delight, a pleasure. We see delightful up here. And so we get day by day rejoicing.

Now, this word is interesting right here. So wisdom delighted God. It says rejoicing.

This word is to laugh, amuse, amusing, celebrate, celebrating, hold a contest, laugh them to scorn. Merrymakers mocked. I'm guessing based on context, laughing hard or having fun like right here.

Make merry to play, rejoice, mocker. And I'm guessing it wasn't she wisdom wasn't deriding or mocking God. So we can take that out of the equation.

So wisdom was rejoicing or being merry or laughing as God was creating. And that's not far off from something else we're going to read later on from a different perspective. It says before him. And then we're going to we're going to look at the word always a second.

Or in front of his face, you'll see right here if you want to read through all these. So this is what wisdom wisdom was rejoicing in front of God as he created all of this stuff. All these are long. Some of these are super long, except anger is long a battle because besieged countenance. We can go through here and read all this stuff.

But the context after you go through and read all of this stuff, the context is that wisdom was rejoicing in front of God during the creation. And this was a delight of God. This was to his delight, his enjoyment. So we get a piece of God's personality. He enjoys to see people rejoice and have fun or specifically wisdom in this case.

But he enjoys the rejoicing, laughing, fun, making merry, good times, rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth. And my delights were with the sons of men. Now we're going to, we're take our time here because it's going to bring us to the part in Genesis.

Now, rejoicing, we just read that, in the inhabited part of his world. So now, right here, this is translated as world, but inhabited, inhabited world. So this is how it's translated.

So in the inhabited part of his world, and notice they use two different words for world here. Even though the first one said could be worse. So the inhabitable part or the inhabited part of his earth. And it's going to say my delights were with the sons of Adam. We're going to come back to that and say, well, look at the word delights.

A delight, delightful pleasure. So she enjoyed being around the sons of Adam. So now we didn't we didn't got into the.

creation stuff. And now we have a reference to Adam. And I'll show you guys right here.

I'm going to make it large so you can see it. Her delight was with the sons of Adam. So God delighted in wisdom and wisdom delighted in the sons of Adam or man or mankind, Adam right there.

So now this is important because when you get into Genesis six and you start talking about the sons of God and the daughters of men, let me show you. Thank you, Lizzie. Appreciate you. Let me come over here to my Genesis tab and pull up Genesis 6. This is important.

These phrases, these terminologies are important because she said her delights with the sons of Adam. So you wouldn't confuse those and say, well, she's only talking about the sons of Seth. And you wouldn't confuse those and say, she's talking about the sons of God.

But now let me see here. Let me share my screen. So we just saw that her delights were with the sons of Adam.

Now, some people right here, Genesis six. This is verse one. Let me go to Genesis six once I can read it to you guys plainly. And then we'll look at the look at what it means in the Strong's. And it came to pass when men began to multiply on the face of the earth and daughters were born unto them.

that the sons of god saw the daughters of men that they were fair and they took them of wives of all which they chose so now if you come here genesis 6 and it came to pass when men or adam right here again strong's 120 when adam began to multiply it's not giving you a subset it doesn't say seth began to multiply this is important because they people who push this fake sethite theory instead just telling the truth and saying it's angels, they want you to believe that it's referring to the sons of Seth. Seth's name is not mentioned. So when Adam began to multiply, on the face of the earth and daughters were born to them.

So mankind began to multiply and daughters were born to them that the sons of Elohim, these are different. Remember wisdom said she was with the sons of Adam. And here we have a reference to the daughters of Adam. And now we have a third group, the sons of Elohim.

Elohim is not Adam and Elohim is not Cain. So when people tell you that the sons of God are the sons of Seth, are the sons of God, are the sons of Seth, and that the daughters of Adam, again, so daughters of Adam, they will try to tell you that these are really the daughters of Cain. We don't see that in scripture.

We can see that that's a lie because wisdom tells us that there were sons of Adam, and then Genesis tells us that there were daughters of Adam, and then we get a third group. we get introduced the sons of God, the benign Elohim, the sons of God, the sons of Elohim. So people are going to tell you that these are really the sons of Seth, the righteous sons of Seth. Make them explain from Proverbs 8, who are the sons of Adam? It would have to include the Sethites, which means the daughters of Adam would have to include all the female lineage of Adam.

So the sons of God have to be a third group. I hope that makes sense. So wisdom was rejoicing with the sons of Adam. Let me go down here. Let me go back up some.

Thank you, Elliston. Appreciate you. All right. So now let's keep going on.

Make sure I didn't skip anything before we go. All right. All right. So now we see there that there are three distinct groups mentioned in scripture.

We'll come back to all of that stuff. But the sons of Adam are mentioned, the daughters of Adam. And then there's a third group, the sons of God.

Anybody telling you that the sons of God were the righteous sons of Seth? They need to explain then who the sons of God are. I mean, the sons of Adam are if they're going to say that did not include the Sethites.

then they're lying to you. And if they say that it does include the Sethites, ask why the terminology, different terminology was used. And if they admit that the sons of Adam in Proverbs 8 are descendants of Adam, ask them to explain who the daughters of Adam are in Genesis 6, because they try to make those the daughters of Cain specifically, and you have to apply it equally.

If you're going to say the sons of Adam are all the sons of Adam. You have to say the daughters of Adam are all the daughters of Adam. Then who are the sons of God?

They are angels. As many of us know, based on study, we know the specific term, but I hello, but not Elohim is used to refer to angels in the old Testament. And we even have at one time in the Aramaic and a slightly different, I think it's benign LO or Ella.

I have to check to make sure on that. All right. So now. Wisdom was rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth and her delights were with the sons of Adam.

So wisdom has told you who she was given the resume. Say, hey, if you listen to me, this is what you'll get. This is who I am. She gives her eyewitness testimony of the creation, even telling us how some of it was done.

The anchoring of the mountains, the strengthening of the fountains, the strengthening of the clouds, the drawing of the horizon, the. planning out the foundations of the earth. We see that God had his hand in this giving specific decrees to the waters.

We don't get this in the book of Genesis. We get these details in the book of Proverbs from a being, again, a being represented as a female who claims to be an eyewitness of these events prior to the creation of the abyss, prior to the creation of the earth, prior to the creation of humanity. And we get some insight that God enjoys wisdom's rejoicing.

So it gives us, again, insight into God, to call God powerful. Oh, but wait a minute. We also get that imagery of God as an architect, which I pointed out. So some people think it comes from esoteric teachings, but it does indeed come from the Bible. So we get all of that from these verses in Proverbs 8, which is really important to understanding the power of God.

of being so powerful that they can tell the sea, you don't go past here. And again, that tells us something about the power of Christ when he commanded the sea in the New Testament and he made the sea calm down. The sea cannot transgress the commandment of God.

This is why people say that Christ is both God and man at the same time, because he displays certain attributes that can only be attributed to God. But he also has attributes that can be attributed to man, the God man. Or the hypostatic union for those in seminary who like to use big words so that people can ask them, what's hypostatic union mean?

And then they get to lord over them, their explanation and all that. So when you hear these seminary graduates ask you what the hypostatic union is, it's Christ is the God man, Christ, both God and man at the same time. But, yeah, we see we get to see a lot of insight from wisdom.

So, again, I ask you the question, which book are we going to cover as the main topic of part two? Because, remember, we're trying to go in. order here. So we started before the beginning or from everlasting, and now we're going to work our way toward the last thing that was created.

So let me keep going. We got a little bit more, just a little bit, not much. Try to wrap this up in a minute. All right.

So now, therefore, hearken unto me, O ye children, for blessed are they that keep my ways. So wisdom has given the resume and says, look, I've been around since before time was time. I'm telling you what you need to do.

You need to listen to me. And this is why you need to listen to me. This is what I saw with my own eyes.

This is what I witnessed. This is what happened before you existed. Now, therefore, hearken or listen unto me, O ye children, for blessed are they that keep my ways.

Hear instruction and be wise and refuse it not. Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the post of my doors, for whoso findeth me findeth life. and shall obtain favor of the Lord. Because remember, the Lord delighted in wisdom. And now if you keep wisdom's ways or instructions, it says, blessed are they to keep my ways.

So if the Lord delighted in wisdom and you keep the ways of wisdom, then the Lord, you will find, obtain favor of the Lord. We're not talking about salvation necessarily at all. We're talking about just advice, common sense advice.

If the Lord delights in wisdom and wisdom say, Hey, he delights in me. So do what I do or learn what I have to offer. I'll say it that way. Correct. More correctly, learn what I have to offer and you will obtain favor with the Lord.

But he that sinneth against me wrong with his own soul. All that hate me love death. The opposite of being wise is being foolish.

And we see throughout the Bible, a lot of stuff. pertaining to people being foolish and a lot of stuff pertaining to wisdom. So if you hate wisdom, the opposite of that is loving foolishness.

I hope that makes sense. And foolishness leads to death, physical death, but probably spiritual death as well. But to hate wisdom is to love foolishness.

So now Proverbs 8 to me is a very important chapter when we look at creation. To me, you can't mention creation without mentioning Proverbs 8. So again, I'm going to ask you guys, which book of the Bible are we going to cover as the main topic of part two? Because it's important. It's going to cause some of y'all to do some reading.

And a lot of some of y'all, not a lot. Some of y'all thought that we were going to start with Genesis today. We did not start with Genesis. And I will give you a hint. Genesis will not be the main subject of part two when we get into the second part of creation.

What was going on? What was created first, second, third, fourth, fifth, all that stuff. So I'm going to close this with the reading from Job.

But first, I'll give you guys a couple announcements, a couple couple statements, couple observations, stuff like that. So wisdom. does not claim to hover over the face of the waters.

That's important for when we get to the other study about wisdom being the Holy Spirit or not, or Christ or not, male or female. Wisdom does not claim to hover over the face of the waters. That's interestingly absent from wisdom's personal account. Even though wisdom specifically mentions the abyss, to me, that would be the perfect time to mention hovering over the abyss.

We'll come back to that. Wisdom identifies as female, which I kept pointing out for a reason. And the study, as I mentioned, is coming soon for this, for the wisdom, you know, being the Holy Spirit and stuff. So that's in my notes.

All right. Let me pull up the verses I'm going to close with, because I think this summarizes a lot of what we went over. I think there's a really, really, really a good summary right here. I don't want to give too much of it away.

All right. A summary to the power of God. And it's interesting. It's subtitled The Greatness of God.

I'm going to share my screen. And this is right out of scripture. One more time before we end, I'm going to say this.

I think a lot of the words we use, powerful, awesome, magnificent, stuff that we use to describe God, stuff that we use to describe God. I see you, Eric Tinsley. I don't know if I'm going to play that today. But the stuff we use to describe God is very inadequate. To understand...

that God created the heavens and the earth is one thing, but to understand that God created a being, he created a witness to his creation before he created it. Let me take a sip of water real quick. God brought forth an eyewitness to his creation before he created it.

God fastened the mountains to the ground or sank the mountains into the ground. Now imagine a being that powerful that they can anchor mountains to the ground. God made the cloud strong enough to hold water. We know that water is heavy and falls to the ground and yet clouds stay up. It's a lot going on.

I'm pretty sure all this stuff can be explained by certain sciences. I haven't bothered to look, but the Bible tells us a being did that. A being strengthened the fountains of the earth. A being told the waters, you cannot go past this point unless I say so. It says he drew out the horizon.

Imagine the power of a being. We look at the horizon and we can debate on flat earth, round earth, whatever you want to call it, but the being powerful enough to draw the horizon, to sketch out, lay out foundations for a creation, a planet. Again, whatever word you want to use, whether flat or not, a being actually planned out the creation of this planet we live on, this earth we live on, and the people and animals and everything on it, sat there and he understood that he had the power to make this happen.

It wasn't like some dream or fantasy where some of us say, we want to build this thing that seems impossible. And if we get funding, maybe we can make it happen. No, he had his own power and he knew that.

He could sit there and in a week do all of this stuff, write down all the rules, put all the rules in place. The planet is the perfect size. He could breathe life into the beings that he wanted to put on the planet. And later on, we're going to talk about the statement.

Heaven is my throne and earth is my footstool. What house shall you build for me? What does that really say about God when he compares the earth? We look at the creation of earth in in awe of God's power and God nonchalantly describes it as a footstool. Again, God is a creator.

So if heaven is his throne and earth is his footstool, what's the rest of the furniture in the house? What is the house itself? What is the castle or whatever terminology you want to use where God dwells?

If heaven is just the throne and earth is just the footstool, is there more to the creation that we don't know? Because remember, I has not seen nor has entered into the hearts of man the thing that God has prepared for him. What else is out there that we don't even yet comprehend? And one of the one of the I should have pulled up the scene before this, but the scene that comes to mind, I think my favorite part of Men in Black is at the end when he showed him, you know, when he showed him the universe in the locker.

And then. at the end of the movie he went and kicked open the door and they were just a universe in a locker and then it showed this being playing marbles with the earth against other you know creations that it alluded to and i thought that that one scene was so deep thank you angie love i thought that scene was so deep because of the verse where it says heaven is my throne and earth is my footstool what house should you build for me it just it summarizes the the awesomeness of God so big that we can't even comprehend, begin to comprehend. What else is possibly out there waiting for us? So anyway, I do want to end on that note. Thank you guys for coming out.

I got at least two, maybe three more parts of this study coming, and we're going to dig deep into the details and really look at how awesome the most high is.

And again, I think that word is a huge understatement when we really start to study the power of the- being that chose a people that came down, that sacrificed, that rose again, the being that we believe in, all the stuff that he put in place, all the prophecies, the one that believed or can tell the beginning from the ending. I don't think there's words to summarize the magnificence of a being like the most high, but we're going to do our best to get as close to the truth as possible. So. With that said, until next time, I'm out.
