TIME-SPACE-MATTER IN
OTHER WORLDS / DIMENSIONS
A WORLD PARALLEL TO OUR
OWN
Till
recently scientists believed that the
universe was created from a singularity that came ‘from nowhere and no when’.
With the help of the Big Bang theory this
singularity exploded outwards explaining the expanding universe.
Now,
they believe that there originally
existed a universe, which for some reason or the other, imploded or shrank (obviously becoming one without form and an
empty waste), till it became a
singularity and then expanded, to form our universe.
The Bible does speak of such a world,
of beauty and grandeur before our universe came into existence. And then speaks
of one, ‘without form and an empty waste,’ (Genesis 1:2), a starting point for our universe.
But
there definitely was a dimension. And by studying this dimension we will get
some idea of a dimension other than our own.
THE ‘DIMENSION’ OF EDEN:
It
was a world created for the spiritual or angelic beings, the most beautiful of
them being Lucifer. (Ezek. 28: 12,13). That was before he rebelled and fell
from grace.
‘TIME’ IN THE DIMENSION OF EDEN:
Everything
created has to move forward in time, or stop and be destroyed. Similarly, in
the dimension of Lucifer and the angels, there had to be a ‘time’, and
this ‘time’ had to move forward.
A DEFINITE SEQUENCE OF EVENTS:
We see his fall from grace because God said to
him: ‘You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created until
iniquity and guilt were found in you.’ (Ezek.28:15).
‘……….and
you sinned; therefore I cast you out as a profane thing from the mountain of
God and the guardian cherub drove you out from the midst of the stones of fire.’
(Ezek. 28:16, 17).
We
see that a definite sequence of events took place.
In
our world or dimension, when we have a past, present and future, we denote it
as TIME!
In
the world of angel, we cannot call it ‘time’
because angels and demons do not age like us.
Therefore,
we will call this time period of theirs as: ‘PRE-TIME’!
We
have to keep in mind two important points.
There was a ‘time’ before
the creation of time when there was no time. And there will be a ‘time’ after
the end of time when there will be no time.
Though
there was a sequence of events, all happening in ‘pre-time’, yet the ‘dimension
of time’ they lived in was different from that of ours, with its past, present
and future. There was no going back once a decision was made. We see this
in the Gospel of Luke, (8:26-39).
A
man has been possessed by a Legion of demons, who beg of Jesus not to torture
them by sending them into the Abyss. They appealed to the compassionate heart of Jesus,
Who delivered the man and sent the demons into a herd of pigs.
All
they had to do was to repent and ask Jesus to forgive them (as he does us) and
they would have been reinstated as angels once again. But, unlike us, this
option was unavailable to them.
THE ‘DIMENSION’ OF SPACE FOR THE ANGELIC BEINGS:
This
dimension is not only interesting, but absolutely fascinating!
Our
dimension of SPACE, (length, breadth
and height), is absolutely different in the heavenly dimension.
The
heavenly dimension does have boundaries, but not like the ones we have.
Firstly,
after the rebellion and fall, Lucifer (now Satan), and the fallen angels, (now
demons), were cast out from the Garden of
Eden, leaving God and the good angels behind. Yet Satan was able to go into God’s presence when he went to take God’s
permission to attack Job. (Job 1:6-12).
Secondly,
the spiritual beings are not boxed inside
their heavenly dimension. The angels are
simultaneously here on earth, guarding little children, and at the same time gazing
on the face of God. (Matt. 18:10).
MATTER IN OTHER DIMENSIONS:
Heavenly
Eden contained ‘matter’.
The
heavenly Garden of Eden, which was the home of Lucifer, (as pictured in the
twenty eighth chapter of Ezekiel) contained
precious stones and precious metals.
The
precious stones mentioned were: carnelian, topaz, jasper, chrysolite, beryl,
onyx, sapphire, carbuncle and emerald. And the settings and sockets were wrought
in gold. (Ezek. 28:13).
Were these precious stones and metals
literally present in the garden?
I don’t think so!
But, just as there was ‘pre-time’, there was ‘pre-matter’.
But
how could God (outside our Time-Space-Matter dimension), speaking through His
prophet Ezekiel, (bound in our TSM dimension), explain about ‘pre-matter’,
(something which is outside our TSM dimension) to us (who are bound in a TSM
dimension)?
The
only way God could do so was by using terms with which we are familiar. And so,
to describe the beauty of heaven, He
used the most beautiful and precious things available here on earth.
EARTHLY EDEN & HEAVENLY EDEN:
We
have already seen that God created the heavenly Eden for the angelic beings.
But
for Adam and Eve, He created the earthly Eden: ‘In the beginning God created
the heavens and the earth’ (Gen.1:1).
But when we read the very next line we come
across something totally strange and alien:
‘The earth was without form and an empty waste, and darkness was upon the
face of the very great deep.’ (Gen. 1:2A).
Did God create this vast wasteland for us?
Definitely
not! Because, through His prophet Isaiah, God speaks: ‘Who created the heavens,
God Himself, Who formed the earth and made it, Who established it and did not create it to be a worthless
wasteland; He formed it to be inhabited – I am the Lord, and there is no
one else.’ (Isa. 45:18).
Then,
if God did not create it to be a worthless wasteland, then how did it deteriorate into something so awful from the
beautiful garden God had originally intended it to be? And created?
Because something terrible had happened
to the original heavens and earth God had created.
And
we see these terrible happenings in the book of Ezekiel (Chapter 28).
Lucifer,
the light bearer, sinned, and was cast out as Satan! And sin caused desolation here on earth.
But
God did not allow it to remain a desolate waste, but changed it into a
beautiful vegetable Garden of Eden, with plants and trees.
But
life needed ‘time’ to survive and live. And therefore, the first thing God did
to change the environment, and make it livable, was to create ‘time’ from our
‘pre-time’ (or whatever time the earth was then subjected to).
Thus our TIME was created, and had a
definite beginning: ‘And God said, let there be light; and there was light.’ (Gen.1:3).
God
then proceeded to create birds, fish, animals, vegetation and man.
Therefore,
Adam and Eve were put into an Eden bound by time-space-matter. This
Eden on earth, which had been rendered desolate by Lucifer’s sin, had been
renovated for man’s benefit.
But
what about the original ‘heavens’ that had been created in the beginning?
(Gen.1:1).
It
remained as it was, because God had expelled Lucifer and the fallen angels, and
now contained only the good angels.
However,
Satan and the demons are still under the influence of ‘pre-time’, because
without it, they would be annihilated.
