ππ✨ Summary of the Video Content: "The Three World Ages" by Pastor Arnold Murray
This teaching by π¨π« Arnold Murray presents a detailed biblical framework describing three distinct world ages, focusing on God’s plan of creation, judgment, and restoration. It emphasizes deep Scripture study to understand spiritual truth and challenges both mainstream science and traditional interpretations.
ππ₯ Core Concepts and Key Insights
π Creation Beyond Time
“In the beginning” (π Genesis 1:1) signals a timeless creation, suggesting the earth is far older than 6,000 years.
The phrase “void and without form” (Hebrew: tohu) indicates destruction, not original creation.
⚡ Destruction of a Previous Age
The earth became desolate due to Satan’s rebellion π⚔️.
This event (often called Cabo/Overthrow) marks the end of the first world age.
π The Three World Ages Explained
π The World That Was – destroyed after rebellion
π The Present Age – current human history (~6,000 years)
✨ The Third Age – future perfect, eternal kingdom
Key support comes from π 2 Peter 3, describing worlds that were, are, and will be.
π§¬❌ Refutation of Evolution
Evolution is labeled a false teaching.
The argument claims fossils show stability, not transformation over time.
ππΏ God as Creator (Psalms 104)
God created heavens, earth, angels, and nature.
Descriptions in π Ezekiel 1 are interpreted as real, physical heavenly vehicles π✨.
☁️π The Firmament
Originally a protective layer around Earth π
Now partially remains (linked to the ozone layer), affecting aging and environment
⚔️π₯ Satan and the Fallen
Satan deceived one-third of God’s children
These fallen beings face future judgment π₯
ππ’ Noah’s Flood
Seen as a localized judgment, not global
Targeted corruption linked to Nephilim
π₯π Future Judgment by Fire
Current world will be purified by fire, not destroyed
Leads to a renewed heaven and earth ✨
π️⏳ Millennial Rest
After 6,000 years comes a 1,000-year reign of Christ
Represents the “seventh day” of rest
❤️π§ Free Will & Spiritual Growth
God allows free choice—love cannot be forced
Believers must grow in grace and knowledge π✨
⚠️π« Critique of Modern Teachings
Warns against shallow doctrine and misunderstanding
Encourages deep, careful Bible study

π‘✞ Three World Ages:
All right, good day to you. God bless you. Welcome to the Shepherd’s Chapel. Welcome to this family Bible study hour.
Praise God, we’ve been waiting on you. We’re ready to get into a new subject tonight. Well, it’s not a new subject, but it’s a tape that we must upgrade. The old tape is just about played out. So we’re going to talk about the three world ages.
There’s no way that a Christian or anyone else can understand the Word of God except they be aware of the foundation. You can never build anything without a good and solid foundation. It has a great deal to do with the creation.
Now we have in our nation—and the world, as far as that’s concerned, at this time—the great controversy over, well, was it evolution or was it creation? And the thought by most is that due to the influence of, no doubt, the Kenites upon our public school systems, as well as other things, we must teach evolution—which anyone in the science community knows is a lie. That is, if they’re a true scientist. I mean, you’ve got a few woodpeckers out there still yet. But every species on record—I’m giving you a cold, hard fact—every species on record, whether you find them in a dig dating recent or ancient, they are the same. They have not advanced one iota. Small marine life from the Ice Age is exactly like the small marine life of this day. You can still find them. No change.
And evolution itself must be an unending process, or it’s a lie. In other words, you would have to be able to look out your window today and see species in every stage of evolution, for it would have to be an ongoing process. Well, that’s obvious. You don’t see it. Why? Because it’s a lie. It’s all a big lie. And as I said, those in the scientific community that have any knowledge—you’ve got a lot of people in that community that do not have knowledge; they’re void of knowledge. They like to dream in the boom‑boom land or something and have lost touch with reality.
What I’m stating is cold, hard facts. Nothing has changed, and no one can prove otherwise. So isn’t it time that we put that theory to bed, though we’re forced to teach it to our children? Just quite simply tell them that there are certain bureaucrats that like to teach lies because they lean so far left that they’re confused, and give them the truth.
What we’re about to study is the truth, the foundation of this world. Our Father created it. He spoke, and nothing became everything. You know, our Father does all things in a natural sense, and when you look aside from nature, then you lose contact with our Father. Okay.
If we were to say then that the age we are presently in—which most ministers teach that the world was created about 6,000 years ago—then we’re teaching contrary to God’s Word. God’s Word states that this earth is eons in age. We do the documentary on the dinosaur tracks—billions, millions of years ago they were placed there. I mean, it’s obvious they’re there. That is a fact. And yet you have some Bible thumpers that’ll say the Word of God states that this earth is 6,000 years old. It doesn’t. I challenge anyone to document that God’s Word states this earth is 6,000 years old. It doesn’t. It says quite the contrary. It says even that there was an age before this earth age—same earth, same heaven, different age—and many things happened in that age, and they are written in our Father’s Word.
I want to start this, if I may, in Psalm 104. Psalm 104, where we are in the beginning. Let’s go with it.
Psalm 104, verse 1. Rest easy with this subject; as we go along, it will solidify for you.
*Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, Thou art very great; Thou art clothed with honour and majesty.*
He is honest, but in His majestic sense, He can do whatever He so chooses.
*Who coverest Thyself with light as with a garment.*
He is the light.
*Who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain.*
He created the heavens.
*Who layeth the beams of His chambers in the waters, who maketh the clouds His chariot.*
Yes, those chariots spoken of in Ezekiel chapter 1, on which His very throne was transported—a very natural sense when you understand the nature of things, the vehicles, you might say. Well, we today couldn’t create such a vehicle. No, but they were in the world that was, and they are in the heaven even at this time. And it was in those same vehicles, no doubt, that the fallen angels came in in Genesis 6. There’s no doubt about it. There are traces on this earth—facts, documents in Central America—landing fields, directions given and recorded by the ancients as to their being. Alright.
*His clouds, His chariot, who walketh upon the wings of the wind.*
Do you understand what that means? Who can walk in the spirit, which is the wind (*ruach*)? We in this flesh do not see that dimension necessarily unless God so chooses.
Verse 4:
*Who maketh His angels* — that is to say, His messengers, those that convey messages — *spirits; He makes them as the wind (*ruach*); His ministers a flaming fire.*
Now I have a work done on “Ministers of Fire,” and within them you understand why God chose some before the foundation of this earth age—which was approximately 6,000 years ago, but only the foundation of this age. That’s why it is written in Ephesians chapter 1, verse 4: “I chose you before the foundation of this earth” (this age). How could He do that? Because we were His children even then.
Where does your soul come from? Well, um, it comes from God. That’s exactly what I mean. You mean I lived before? Well, you just answered it yourself. You came from God. You were with Him. And we will discover the great overthrow at the foundation of this earth age—what caused it. And then you’ll begin to understand your Father’s Word in more depth, in more clarity, and you will understand better then the Ministers of Fire, who are God’s elect—the kings and queens of this earth age—that they earned the right to be called elect. Right.
Verse 5:
*Who laid the foundations of the earth* — this goes back millions of years ago — *that it should not be removed for ever.*
The ages will change the cosmos, but never the terra firma, never the *eretz* (that is to say, the soil). It shall stay the same. That is to say, the earth in its proper orbit. You know, we’ve done enough space travel (even as human beings, that is to say vehicular) that we’re beginning to look around and see by the other planets that this is a very special planet indeed. He, God, placed it here in this proper orbit. He hung it here because of the climate. Yes, and even the perfect climate before the overthrow, when the earth was shielded with the firmament—that special solution. He left a bit of the firmament, and we call it the ozone, and it dissipates because of pollution. But the firmament that was there originally was a firmament that would even stop aging.
Verse 6:
*Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment; the waters stood above the mountains.*
Now, what it’s saying here: God created the earth, and the earth stood out of the water, as it is written in other places. But because of the *tohu* (you’ll learn that term before we finish this lecture and the next, the one that will follow it)—it means the earth became void and without form. Not that it was created void and without form. Why did it become void and without form? Because of Satan’s first rebellion. Within the Greek, you have a verb *kabΓ³l* (in Ephesians chapter 1, verse 4). You’ll find it again in that great seed chapter in Matthew chapter 13, where God said—Christ rather said—these mysteries were hidden before the *kabΓ³l*, the overthrow of Satan and the world. I’m going to teach you of that overthrow. Oh, it’s documented. You’ll find it. Let it flow for the moment. I will document everything I say from my Father’s Word, so that you may know and understand the creation and why we’re even in this earth age.
Why did God destroy the age that was? That is recorded in Revelation chapter 12, in the very opening verses of the chapter. It covers a long period of time. It goes back to the world that was, when the old dragon, with the same political structure that he will use in the very near future, deceived one‑third of God’s children—called the stars, the souls that were there. The souls that He sent, born innocent of woman, to choose: this time, will you still follow the one that led astray in the world that was, or will you follow Christ? Will you love your Father? For it was for that reason—I in my own opinion believe—that God destroyed that earth age, whereby He would not have to destroy His children.
You know, it takes quite a bit to destroy one of your own children. He sentenced Satan to death. But here in this earth age, He gives everyone a fair start. They are born innocent, with all memory of the world that was erased. Oh, I think occasionally one of God’s elect, for a fleeting moment, sees a place or a thing or a condition, and I think that the mind itself strains to recognize or to recall, and that strange feeling of “I’ve been here before; this has happened before” comes over them. I think it goes far deeper than most might think.
But for that reason, it is God’s will that all come to repentance and believe upon Him, whereby He does not destroy them in that great lake of fire before we go into the third earth age, which is eternal, and there will be nothing there that offends.
Alright, let’s continue on.
Verse 7:
*At Thy rebuke they fled.*
Those waters fled instantly—not the year it took as recorded in Genesis for Noah’s little old flood to depart—but instantly the waters fled.
*At the voice of Thy thunder they hasted away.*
Instant recovery. You know, anyone that walks through the country sees a cutaway in a railroad, or you’re driving down a highway, and you see layer after layer. Here even in the state of Arkansas, as you’ve all heard me describe before, where our native stone is either limestone, sandstone, or flint, and you find sea shells that have been dropped out through this area from the Ice Age in the layers—yes, sea shells, not our country rock or common rock. Why? How did that happen? You know, when you understand God’s plan: the *kabΓ³l*, the overthrow—not Noah’s flood. The water slowly receded, but after the *kabΓ³l*, as God spoke, the Spirit moved upon the waters, and they fled away, and there was dry land (Genesis chapter 1, after the *kabΓ³l*).
Verse 8:
*They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which Thou hast founded for them.*
In other words, as you form this particular age, many believe that before the overthrow (the *kabΓ³l*), the earth was all one solid mass and that it split, with the Americas drifting away from Africa—in other words, the shape will definitely align to that. But be that as it may, another subject for another time. But it did move, but He placed the boundaries then.
Verse 9:
*Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over, the coast of this great nation, that they turn not again to cover the earth.*
He has promised that He will never destroy the earth again by water. That promise was re‑dedicated, made certainly at the time of Noah’s flood.
We’re going to go to the New Testament. Peter spoke of these things. If they seem foreign to you, you simply haven’t studied God’s Word. 2 Peter chapter 3—we go there at this time to carry through on this thought, where Peter has one chapter dedicated to the three world ages. Did you know that? Well then, listen to it as we study our Father’s Word.
Chapter 3 and verse 1. Second Peter:
*This second epistle, beloved* — and the first was written to the elect, and he’s writing this second to the same people, documenting and identifying who it is addressed to, whereby you better understand — *I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance.*
I want your memory to be shaken back even to that world that was, if it be possible, that you know and understand God is in control—time meaning nothing with Him—but that time would come. I want to stir your minds and cause you to remember.
Verse 2:
*That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets* — I want you to be aware of those words spoken by the prophets of the Old Testament — *and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour* — that is to say, of the gospels, that is to say, of the New Testament.
The prophets of old, especially the psalm we just finished—Psalm 104 was a prophecy by David. David was a prophet. It is declared in Acts chapter 2 that David was a prophet. You may have never considered him so, but he was. And yes, the apostles—Paul especially, the writer of a large portion of the New Testament—spoke of this mystery over and over, and yet most people do not know why. Well, we’ll find out here in a moment.
Verse 3:
*Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts.*
These are mockers, for saying this is what those mockers and scoffers will say:
Verse 4:
*Where is the promise of His coming?* Where is your second advent? *For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.*
Nothing has ever changed. Everything’s the same. There is no God, perhaps, and certainly He’s not coming. Have you ever heard that? It will especially wax worse and worse in these end times.
Verse 5:
*For this they willingly* — underline it in your mind — *they willingly* (they request it, they desire) *are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water.*
In other words, there was an age before this, and people are willingly ignorant of that because they don’t want to be accountable for knowledge. They don’t want to understand the plan of God. Most churches today cop out and say, “All you have to do is believe.” Believe what, friend? Believe in Antichrist—that’s what they’re leading you to, if they teach a rapture theory, leading you straight to worship Antichrist. The first Messiah that comes is a fake; he’s the false Messiah. That the earth was of old—in other words, there was an age before this, standing out of the water—not as you read in Genesis 1 after it became void, where there was nothing standing out of the water, and God ordered the waters to hasten away after He destroyed that earth age and it became habitable again.
Well, isn’t he talking about Noah’s flood? No way, friend. No way. God totally, completely destroyed every being in the *kabΓ³l*. I’ll document that in the next lecture.
Verse 6:
*Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished.*
Do you know what “perished” means? Everything of that age perished. Through Noah’s flood, many people lived through it. I do not believe myself that the flood was worldwide, but that it simply covered the place where the Nephilim had impregnated the daughters of Adam, trying to prevent the birth of Christ—Satan’s attack (Genesis chapter 6). It’s written; anyone can read it that doesn’t willingly wish to be ignorant. And God destroyed those hybrids, whereby the line through Noah was perfect and the Christ child could come of woman. All of them, though, in the *kabΓ³l*—that is to say, in the world that was—perished. That means there were no more survivors.
Verse 7:
*But the heavens and the earth, which are now* — do you think Noah’s flood destroyed the heaven that was? No. That’s what it’s saying here. The heaven was destroyed naturally? Noah’s flood did not destroy the heaven, but the *kabΓ³l* did. But it was the heaven *age* that was destroyed. It’s still the same heaven; it’s still the same earth. Now we come to the second. *But the heavens and the earth which are now* — that is to say, the second earth age and the second heavenly age — *by the same word* (what word? God’s word) *are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.*
What does this “perdition” mean? That word “perished”—same thing. Those that shall perish, that God shall destroy. Even now they are held in reserve. Even the fallen angels that are held with Michael that shall be cast out, they shall die. Those 7,000 when the two witnesses rise from the street of Jerusalem—it is written.
Now, really think for me. Sharpen up.
Verse 8:
*But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.*
Now how many days was it that God was creating the earth? Seven days—six days rather He created, and He rested the seventh. We’re almost at the end of the 6,000‑year period; that’s true in this earth age. Then what comes? The seventh day, which is the day of rest, which is what? The Millennium. Don’t be ignorant of that fact.
Many wonder why the dinosaur bones and the mammoth bones from the world that was—as we go to Alaska, there’s one even in this studio at this time; I’ve showed it to you before and shared it with you—that great bone that was found by people that I personally am familiar with, and the meat was still cooked on the bone of that mammoth (or off the bone) and fed to the dogs, and they ate it with buttercup still in their mouth. Preserved that good under that frozen tundra. What happened in one quick instant that froze everything instantly? And it all dates back about 14,000 years ago—almost 13, 14,000. Even that in itself shows that great change of weather that would instantly freeze and preserve these mammoths. There they are today. What are you going to say about them? If you say the earth is only 6,000 years old, it’s no wonder that we lose all trials because the courts will not let one with intelligence witness. First off, they do not recognize the Word of God as fact, and you can’t use it. But even with documentation that is present now that this chapel works to produce one each month that preserves truth and puts together documentaries, whereby when the next case comes along, we will be able to use those facts in a Christian way to document and fight the theory of evolution, which is a lie.
God’s Word is really quite simple. It is man that tries to make it difficult.
Verse 9:
*The Lord is not slack concerning His promise* — if God promises you something, He’s not slack about it; you can count on it — *as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us‑ward* (He suffers long with us; that means He’s patient), *not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.*
This day that we’re speaking of—perishing and perdition—it isn’t God’s will that anybody perish. It wasn’t God’s will that Satan even perish, but Satan chose because of his actions that our Father (and I’m sure much to His grief) had to sentence that one to death. Well, does that mean that if it’s God’s will, all will be saved? No. No, it is written also that many will fail. But God would like for them to—after all, they are His children—but they will not all make it. It is another way of saying He wishes that all, on their own—
Now, many right here are going to say, “Well, God is all‑powerful; why can’t He do that?” And you’ve heard me explain it many times, but I feel this is the time to do it again. There is one thing that God will not do—and I might even add further, cannot do. He cannot create souls for His pleasure, for His company, and force them to love Him and have it be true love. You cannot force true love. You cannot force true love from your own mate. Love generates from within each entity, and only the entity himself or herself has the ability to create that love. It’s a very natural thing. So God, if He were to force someone to love Him, it would be fake love. And friend, He doesn’t want your fake love. You don’t con
Verse 10:
*But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night* — that means it will surprise, as a thief always does — *in the which the heavens shall pass away* (the heaven that was, the heaven that is now Him for a minute. Therefore, it is His wish that all love Him. If you love Satan in his ways and the ways of man, then go to hell. They’ll go to the pit, and they will perish. But it’s not His choice; it’s yours.—that is why “heavens” plural) *with a great noise, and the elements* (translate the word “rudiments”—translate the word “evil rudiments”) *shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.*
And many say, “Well, that’s the atomic Holocaust,” and they know not of what they speak. It’s everything but an atomic Holocaust. Our Father is a consuming fire. He does not say that the earth itself will be destroyed. He says the rudiments—the evilness, the wickedness—will all be burned away, and there will be nothing but righteousness left (though our righteousness be as filthy rags). It is the evil things that shall melt away. That is why it is written that on the first day of the Millennium, every knee shall bow.
Verse 11:
*Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved* (that’s the wickedness, the evilness), *what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness?* What should you be prepared for? You should be mentally prepared for it. That’s what you need to be thinking about. That’s where you need to be putting your conversations—in preparing yourself mentally by understanding the Word that is spoken that brings these things to pass, to see that you please your Father. And as it is His will that you love Him and are come to repentance and are saved, that you accomplish it. But you’ve got to do it on your own. You can’t listen to the traditions of men. They don’t teach in that depth; it isn’t popular.
Verse 12:
*Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements* (again, what are they? The rudiments, the evil rudiments) *shall melt with fervent heat.*
Why? The last verse of Hebrews chapter 12: God is a consuming fire. His Shekinah glory and His love warms your heart. It’s called the Holy Spirit, the Comforter. But to the wickedness, it will burn them at that time. God loves you; He doesn’t want to hurt you.
Verse 13:
*Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.*
Now a lot of people say, “We’re going to a different place; this one will be destroyed,” and they don’t understand Greek. This earth will be rejuvenated. It’s a new earth age and a new heaven age. It’s the third—the third, as Peter so adequately brings forth. See that you understand the end and the changing of the ages.
We’re going to run over with teaching a little bit. I want to finish this chapter.
Verse 14:
*Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of Him in peace, without spot, and blameless.*
Dear one, our spot is not the spot of the Kenite. Our spot that makes us spotless is wanting to please Him, to love Him, coming to repentance, teaching His Word, standing for Him—not the rudiments. Come out of the rudiments. Many teach rudiments in the name of Christ, coming in His name, when they are not with Him, and they know not of what they speak. Know your Father’s Word. Mentally prepare yourself by understanding the Word yourself.
Verse 15:
*And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation* — because He’s willing to be patient and wait that each entity has an opportunity to love Him or Satan — *even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you.*
Here Peter gives credentials to Paul. Many would like to strip Paul of his credentials. Even that great fisherman gives Paul credentials by the wisdom in which Paul taught. You see, Paul taught on three levels, and most people can’t handle that, nor do they comprehend it. They may comprehend one level, but not the mystery that Paul spoke in and taught on—these three levels of the three world ages.
Verse 16:
*As also in all his epistles* (whose? Paul—most of the New Testament), *speaking in them of those things, in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest* (they can’t understand it; they don’t know the books of the Bible, much less where they’re located). The thing that is most valuable to them, they are most ignorant about. It’s a shame—a love letter written from our Father to each of His children, and most have not read it with understanding. *As they do also the other scriptures unto their own destruction.* It will destroy you if you don’t begin to prepare yourself mentally for that which is about to come. It’s that simple. It’s your choice. That’s what this age is all about. You make your own bed; you’re going to sleep right in it, friend.
Verse 17:
*Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before* (you knew them before we talked about them before), *beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked* (the rudiments), *fall from your own stedfastness.* See that you don’t lose it. It’s real easy to be deceived by the false Messiah at the very end of this age.
Verse 18:
*But grow in grace* — what is grace? Grace is that wonderful gift God gives us, a gift that you don’t deserve—unmerited favor of God—when you try. That’s why your mind opens and you begin to remember better when you pray to Him to give you knowledge and understanding because of His grace — *and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To Him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.*
This earth in its rejuvenated form: “Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.” There will always be that heaven, and there will always be this earth. God’s throne is heaven; it’s coming to this earth. That’s why the description and the shape of heaven—or that city, new city—is 1,500 miles into space, a cube, in other words, because it is coming to this earth. This earth shall always be inhabited. The description given in Revelation chapter 21 states in the Greek not that this earth is *new* but *renewed*—a better English word: rejuvenated, made fit to live upon. It shall be done, and it shall come to pass.
Where will you be, dear one? Forever and eternity, simply for trying. That’s all you have to do—to commit, to the best of your ability, that you will try to know and understand and learn of your Father’s letter, to understand those things that have been, whereby you understand that our Father is just. He doesn’t burn people for no reason. He doesn’t hurt people for no reason. All things that He does are just and fair and righteous.
It’s like in the last lecture you noted: we had a letter or a call that wanted to know why 70,000 people had to also pay for David’s sin. No, they didn’t pay for David’s sin; they paid for their own because they had committed a like sin worthy of death. And God killed them. He took them from this earth age for what reason? For hate? No. For chastisement, whereby others would see and fear and begin to follow the commandments of the living God.
God is totally completely fair. If you ever understand something in a position or a light that it may appear that God is not fair, you are in error. Read longer. Study harder. Look deeper. And you will always see our Father of love as He smiles down upon you, willing that you come to repentance.
Can you repent? All you have to do is say, “Father, help me. I repent, and I want You. I don’t want death.” Do it. Do it today. Won’t you do that? Okay.
God bless you.

All right, good day to you. God bless you. Welcome to the Shepherd’s Chapel. Welcome to this family Bible study.
Praise God, we’ve been waiting on you. We’re ready to get back into the three world ages. You know, it takes a great deal sometimes to descramble—you know, the scrambler is quite a thing anymore—but it takes a great deal sometimes to unscramble or descramble input into your mind over a period of years from would‑be Bible teachers, Sunday school teachers, or what have you. And they’re well‑meaning; bless their hearts, we love them. But it can sure make fools out of Christians when you must on your faith stand and say this earth is only 6,000 years old when God’s Word declares it. But yet some Bible thumper, as you declaring that, and the scientific community snickers—and it’s no wonder that they do. They should, because only a fool would make a statement like that. Because God’s Word in itself, through Peter’s teachings that we covered in the last lecture (the three earth ages), we’re going to complete this lecture on the three world ages because it’s really not that complicated when you listen to your Father’s Word rather than man.
I’m going to teach you in the second verse a Hebrew word. I don’t want you to ever forget it—it’s important. And where do you go to get the truth? The beginning. What does the word “beginning” mean? Genesis. So go to Genesis chapter 1, verse 1. May we ask a word of wisdom from our Father in Yeshua’s name as we go into His Word, bearing in mind the words of Peter. Listen how it tells right here within the first two verses a span of history that is eons—millions of years. Listen to it.
Chapter 1, verse 1: *In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.* Period. Now when did it say He did that? It didn’t. It said, “In the beginning He created the heaven and the earth.” Period. It doesn’t say—there’s no time involved in that other than “the beginning.” Now when was that beginning? And after He created the heaven and the earth to be inhabited, what happened to it? You know of Satan’s rebellion. You know of the great shaking before even the foundations of this earth.
Now listen to this second verse, even in the English. Listen to it. Verse 2: *And the earth was without form, and void.* Underline the word “void.” I’m going to give it to you in the Hebrew, and I don’t want you to ever forget it. *And darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.* The Spirit of God had moved on it before this. The word “void” (tohu in the Hebrew tongue) means absolutely, utterly, completely waste, void, destroyed.
So what does it really say here? It says that in the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Period. There was an entire age in that first verse. And then if you were to translate the word “was” as “became,” you would have it: *And the earth became void and without form, and darkness was upon the face of the deep.* Why? Because God destroyed that earth age. There was a time before this destruction that all of the children of God sang and were happy; they were joyful. It’s written in the eighth chapter of Proverbs in another place we will study before we complete this lecture in this setting. And then unhappiness came on the scene—sorrow, greed on Satan’s part. It’s written in Ezekiel 28. It’s just that people will not listen to our Father’s Word; they listen to men. And dark clouds did form on the horizon as Satan (who is called “Tyre” in that chapter, meaning “rock”—not our Rock, the fake) began to try to take over the Mercy Seat, which was reserved for Messiah, and he himself was condemned to death.
So death did not enter this earth with Abel. Death did not enter this earth with Adam and Eve. Sin? Death entered this earth with Satan in the world that was. Now true enough, death entered this earth age, but you’ve got to realize there is a difference when you say “this earth” and then put perimeters—parameters—and focus only on this particular age. That’s what’s wrong with most Christians. That’s why that we have evolution taught in our schools—because Christians are not wise enough to really understand the creation. And scientifically you can document the fact that this earth is millions of years old. We do it in our own documentaries with the dinosaur tracks and so forth. But God’s Word declares it as eons old as well. It’s just that Christians just seem to be a little bit slow. Why? They allow the ministry to place those parameters at the beginning of this earth age and the end of this earth age, and that’s all they can see. They can’t see past that; they can’t see before it or after it, even in the prophecy, because they have not been taught.
Now God goes into a great deal of detail as to how He destroyed the earth, and it’s well written in Jeremiah chapter 4. Let’s go right there. Jeremiah chapter 4—we’re going to move around a little bit in this lecture, but be that as it may, if you listen, allow your mind to be washed clean (rather than brainwashed) — all right, let it be washed clean with the truth from God’s Word from those things that have been instilled within you.
What’s happening here in Jeremiah chapter 4? Well, here in Jeremiah chapter 4, God is giving Israel a great warning. He’s telling you in one case how you should break up your fallow ground to plant seeds, and those seeds happen to be flesh, man, for one. The Passover tapes this year will lead into that. Those of you that have studied them will know and understand what I mean. But He said, “If you mess around—if you don’t think I will destroy this earth age, look what I did to the last one.” That’s what He’s talking about. So here you have a first‑hand account, not from man but from God Himself, as to how He brought about the destruction of the earth age that was. You read here how the earth came to be void and without form. It wasn’t that way always.
Let me go to a little data for you. The fact on the documentary we made in the panhandle of Oklahoma in the edge of Colorado: the fact that there were rich legumes at one time, almost swamp land, with the very dino‑dinosaur tracks millions of years before, letting you know that this earth was not void and without form past that 6,000 years ago, but that it *became* that way. Those dinosaurs and that rich legume that even brings about and brings forth the oil that you and that fuel that you burn in your automobile—that did not happen 6,000 years ago, nor did it happen underneath water (that is to say, an earth covered with water and void of anything). The *tohu* was there; they are something. So you see, there’s a great hole in what men would teach you—that this earth is 6,000 years old. Be realistic. Christianity is a reality, so face it. It’s not a religion; it’s a reality. And understanding our Father’s Word is a reality also. Listen to Him, and you’ll learn.
So He’s telling them, “If you—listen, if you don’t think I destroyed it once before, listen to Me.” Let’s pick it up, if we may, in verse 19:
*My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart maketh a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.*
And those of you in a prophetic sense, if you look all the way to the end, you understand when this next destruction comes in part.
Verse 20: *Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is spoiled: suddenly are my tents spoiled, and my curtains in a moment.*
In other words, it’s going to happen again in an instant, like that—a moment—when Christ’s feet touch the Mount of Olives. And now he’s going to tell you how it happened in the past. Listen carefully.
*How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet?*
The standard, of course, is Yeshua Messiah, Jesus the Christ. He is the Living Word, and the Word is your standard.
Verse 22: *For my people is foolish.*
What an understatement, quite frankly, when you think in the terms of what He’s trying to communicate to you. My people are foolish. They stand up in a court of law when the evolution—the monkey law—comes forth, and they don’t have any more sense than to say this earth is 6,000 years old. *They have not known me.* Why have they not known God? Because this is His Word, and they don’t know that Word. *They are sottish children.* Do you know what the word “sottish” means? The translators of the King James were very kind. It means “stupid” in the Hebrew. They are stupid children, and that explains it more to our liking and the truth. *And they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil* — it seems like they can pollute everything that is in the natural; they can destroy this earth with their poisons and their habits— *but to do good they have no knowledge.* No, none at all.
And when the children are so *sottish* that they can’t understand the three earth ages, which are so simply put forth from God’s Word, it’s real sad, dear friend. I could weep for our people because of the standard and level of teaching that is put forth to them in this generation. High technology explodes in this generation; we’ve placed men on the moon. But what about theology? Where is it? Has it exploded?
Verse 23: *I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void.*
There it is. You understand. I told you to remember that word *tohu*. “I beheld the earth after that, and it became—it was void and without form; and the heavens, and they had no light.” I looked after I got through shaking them, and both the heavens and the earth were void and without light.
Verse 24: Listen to the destruction after the fall of Satan from your Father’s own lips. *I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.*
Our Father hung this earth in the socket that it fits. It is believed by many that are familiar with the plates of this great earth’s crust and surface that all continents were one at one time, and a great shaking caused them to break up. And if you look at the coast of the east coast of the Americas along with the coast on the west of Africa and Europe, you can see how very possibly those crust and plates meshed at one time. Be that as it may, that’s beside the point. God is saying, “I shook it.”
Verse 25: *I beheld, and, lo, there was no man.*
Many of you would like to say, “Well, this is Noah’s flood.” No man? Do you know what “no” means? Zilch, zero. God destroyed in that body every living being, and they were transformed into a new body instantly. But He destroyed that earth age. Every last man. There were not eight souls floating aboard some ark or other people alive to cater to or to cotton to. No, zilch. *And all the birds of the heavens were fled.* They’re destroyed. You have no living bird.
What was that that Noah released from the ark? First it was a raven. There were quite a few birds; he had two of those species aboard then, and a dove symbolic of peace. This does not have to do with Noah’s flood. Listen as we documented.
Verse 26: *I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof* — whoa, what do you know about that, friend? This earth was inhabited with cities at one time before. I’m not talking about the ruins that they find in the Middle East at this time as they go on digs, or the mounds of this country. I’m talking about a city that, no doubt, could have been in a different dimension even as far as substance is concerned. Bear with me. *...were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by His fierce anger.*
What broke them down? Almighty God Himself caused them to cease existence.
God brought forth a saying that is said in Isaiah: “Woe to those that join house to house.” He doesn’t like cities. That’s why Cain was cursed and became a city dweller and builder. Anytime you start building and joining house to house, you have murder, rape, crime, and so forth. It extends it when you crowd people together. At the presence of the Lord and by His furious anger, you can understand that God—when He caused it to simply rain 40 days—He didn’t destroy the cities. He did not destroy every man, for Noah’s entire family was aboard the ark. I believe there were people yet in the earth. All God wanted to destroy were the *gibborim*, the giants that were the offspring of woman and the fallen angels, whereby Satan was trying to spoil the woman’s seed, whereby the seed of Messiah could not come through woman—else it was part of the serpent’s seed. Therefore Satan still trying to take the Mercy Seat, if not in the world that was by hook and crook and deception, in this world. Do you understand? That’s why it was so important to him that Cain be born of him, for it was through the woman that Messiah would come through this earth age. That office—he doesn’t give up. Let that not be a point of digression whereby you missed the point, but rather a compound that will solidify the entire truth overall together, for the very controversy is between Christ and Satan. That’s why this destruction took place in the beginning.
As I have shared with you before, God could have killed a third of His children that followed Satan. But what does it take to cause you to kill one of your own that you love? He didn’t. He chose to destroy the age and cause each to be born innocent of woman in the flesh, innocent, with all memory of what was erased. I know this may sound strange to some, and no, I’m not talking about reincarnation. Don’t be stupid. I’ll use the word *sottish*. Don’t be that way. Think.
Verse 27: *For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end.*
I’m going to read one more verse. You may not even have it on your character generator. *For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black; because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it.* It’s going to happen, yet I’ll leave that remnant, He stated.
Now, was the earth—? This is what the point hinges on. Then it doesn’t hinge on it, for the Hebrew scholar, the Hebrew manuscripts, are very clear: In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth, and the earth *then* became void and without form because God shook it and He gave it a good shaking. He destroyed that which was. That’s why, if you want to know the truth about it, a freeze came over the land—the whole world at one time. I feel quite possibly that God moved the true orbit, the axis of this earth, 90 miles. That’s why I think that the North Pole and the magnetic pole are 90 miles apart, and therefore we have the jet stream which forms the weather basically around this globe, where at one time it was a perfect climate both at the North and the South Pole because of our situation. But the earth became void and without form and uninhabitable until God cleansed it and corrected it.
Do you remember back when we opened in Psalm 104? God spoke, and the waters hasted instantly away. That didn’t happen in Noah’s flood, and God promised He would never destroy this earth again by water (this is the water He’s talking about, as well as the flood of Noah) but by fire. And He is that consuming fire. So again, the point rests in your mind: in the English, was the earth created void and without form, or was it created with the mountains standing out of the water to be inhabited? Do you realize it’s written? God makes it very clear.
I want to go to the book of Isaiah chapter 45 for me, for one verse. Isaiah chapter 45, verse 18, and let God’s Word speak for itself. Do not forget the Hebrew word I told you to remember—*tohu*—and the severity of it: void.
Verse 18, Isaiah 45: *For thus saith the LORD* (who is speaking? Almighty God, Yah, the Lord) *that created the heavens; God Himself that formed the earth and made it; He hath established it, He created it* — He did what? He created it *not in vain* (what did that word “vain” mean? *Tohu*). He created it not destroyed. He created it not covered over with black water. Have you got that? Can you understand English? *He formed it to be inhabited* — not to be wasted, not to be destroyed. Almighty God, your Father, your loving Father—give Him credit. He wouldn’t build a wasteland. He created it a beautiful jewel, Mother Earth, to be inhabited. He did not create it *to* — it *became* that way. Have you got it? *I am the LORD; He formed it to be inhabited. I am the LORD; and there is none else.* He’s the God of love. What do you think He is, that He would shake these people and destroy them for no cause? Because they had it coming.
It is difficult for a man to think in God’s way. It isn’t only difficult; it’s impossible. But can you let wisdom rise? The most beautiful proverb, the 8th chapter: Wisdom said, “I was with God from the very beginning, before He ever created the earth; I was with Him.” Wisdom—can you possess it? Don’t be *sottish*. Listen to His Word.
And there was a case at one time when Job (Job meaning “persecuted” in a type of God’s elect). I want to go to Job. I want to go to the Book of Job. I’m going to go to Job 38. While you’re turning there, I’m going to slip back to the first of Job and I want to read something to you. You find 38 Job. I’m going to Job 1, verse 7, just to read it to you. Verse 6 from Job: *Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.* (You’ll find the same thing written in chapter 2, verse 1.)
Now chapter 38 of the Book of Job: 37 chapters of Satan accusing Job before God—that Satan can deceive him and turn him against God if God will remove all the defenses of Job. God was so proud of Job, even as He is proud of you today, those that have eyes to see and can understand the simplicity in which His Word is written. He said, “No, you can’t, Satan; you can’t win over Job. I’ll take down the fence.” And Satan cast boils; the poor man was a walking dead man. But he never, never gave up. But his three so‑called buddies—they tried to make Job perfect, as man will always try to make you. They’ll try to make you a real Puritan. They’ll try to make you stand up and be a glistening star that never sins, and that’s impossible in the flesh. God knows that. But yakkity‑yak‑yak. And I’ve heard ministers teach sermons on these first 37 chapters and said, “This is the Word from God.” It is not. Do you know what God thinks about these 37 chapters? Listen to it and learn from your Father’s Word.
Chapter 38: *Then the LORD answered Job* — finally God speaks after 37 chapters — *out of the whirlwind* (what is this whirlwind? It’s that highly polished bronze whirling disc that is thrown aboard in Ezekiel) — *and said,*
Verse 2: *Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?*
In other words, 37 chapters—God says, “Why are you listening to those idiots? They don’t know what they’re talking about, Job.” Unfortunately, that’s the entire lesson of Job, and that’s why I really won’t do the whole thing of it on television. I’ve got it all on cassette tape, and every Christian should experience it once — to receive 37 chapters of junk, of men’s words, yakkity‑yak‑yakkity, the same thing you get preached from most pulpits in this nation today. It’s an experience that you should enjoy. Well, go through. God says, “Why do you listen to those idiots? You’ve always got His Word, you know. You could listen to your Father.”
Verse 3: *Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.*
You gird yourself up and get ready for action and service, and you stand up like a man, Job.
Verse 4: *Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?* If you know so much, Job, if you are so wise in your little flesh body with its pea‑brain—where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? *Declare, if thou hast understanding.*
Stop and think about that one. Where were you? Do you know? “Well, I wasn’t born yet.” Oh?
Verse 5: *Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?*
Who put each star in its place and set the natural law and the order of things? Answering naturally: man’s got to say, “We don’t even know how many are really out there, God.” And you don’t.
Verse 6: *Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened?* Where are the sockets that hold this earth exactly where it’s at and keep it in that position? *Or who laid the corner stone thereof?*
That’s all questions.
Verse 7: *When the morning stars* — listen to me and bear in mind Revelation 12, where Satan drew a third of the stars—that’s God’s children; it’s referring to souls — *sang together.*
I want you to—all the morning stars, the sons of the morning, the sons of God—sang together. There wasn’t one bad note in the whole lot. What I’m talking about is harmony and peace of mind. And all—don’t you dare miss that point — *all the sons of God shouted for joy.*
Have you heard all the sons of God everyone shout for joy recently? No. You’ve always got some group over here that’s got some very sad detail that’s very grievous to them. But there was a time when all the sons of God—do you realize that Satan was a son of God? God created him; Ezekiel 28 declares it. He was God’s son. He was also one of those that sang with joy. Do you understand what I’m saying? Back in that perfect beginning, before sin entered into that world that was (I’m not talking about this world age), back when all the sons of God—call them angels if you like—they were simply the souls of people that inhabit this earth age, passing through one at a time, one time only. Where did your soul come from? It came from God, of course, and you were with Him. All the sons of God created at the same time sang for joy because there was happiness there. Job, where were you when that happened? What’s Job going to answer? He doesn’t know. He doesn’t know at all.
*Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?*
Verse 9: *When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,*
Verse 10: *And brake up for it my decreed place* — I chose my own place, Mount Zion — *and set bars and doors,*
Verse 11: *And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed.*
Set the seacoast.
Verse 12: *Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days?* Have you told the sun, “Come up,” Job? Did you do that? Can you? Do you see how small man is and how unlearned compared to your Father? All wisdom comes from our Father, and if you don’t listen to Him, friend, you’re *sottish*. *And caused the dayspring to know his place?* Who put the time clock in its proper sequence?
Verse 13: *That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?* Who has the power, Job? Can you take—the wicked one (that’s what it really says)—can you take hold of this earth and shake the wicked out? God said, “I can. I’ve done it before.”
Verse 14: *It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment.*
A garment for what? A garment for souls. Job, can you take the clay that was level and cause the images to come up from it? First, the man. Can you make a living being from the clay, Job? This is the Potter talking to the clay, friend. You got it. And furthermore, Job, not only man, but do you see those images on the horizon—those trees? Can you make them come up, Job? Can you create seed? Need I go on?
Our Father, our Father, is all‑powerful. Poor old Job—in chapter 40, I hope that each of you understand Job’s place. Job answered in chapter 40. You’re not going to have this, but listen to me. Then Job answered the Lord, and the Lord went on and on showed Job how little man knows. If you don’t listen to your Father—
Verse 2 of chapter 40: *Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth.* I’ll close my mouth and put my hand over it so I don’t speak foolishly. *Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further.*
And then God answered the Lord—Job—and He said, “You gird yourself up and stand up like a man and stop whimpering before Me.”
You see, you listen to man and you hear a lot of yakkity‑yak‑yakkity. You study your Father’s Word, and you go into the depth of the knowledge of the world that was, this earth age, and yes the one that’s coming. And the third chapter of Peter jumps to life from the very pages and becomes the Living Word in your heart and mind and soul, and you begin to realize those three earth ages and why God had to put us in this earth age. And some He chose—yes, even before the foundation of this earth age—because they stood against Satan in that first battle, as it is written in Romans chapter 8. They persevered; they were judged there. Therefore God, through the Comforter, can intercede in their lives because they don’t even know what to pray for sometimes. But God utilizes as His elect to fulfill His prophecy. Prophecy comes to pass exactly as it’s written. And do you know why? God is in control, and He controls His elect in specific points and places whereby that prophecy comes to pass exactly as it is written.
Do you think that you listen to this lecture on the three world ages by accident, dear one? You that hear and understand. There would be some that would say, “Well, he’s talking about reincarnation.” No. You only go through this earth age one time. Anybody that tells you they are reincarnated or possessed of an evil spirit that possessed someone before and simply prattles on through the mouth of the idiot—now, you’re calling all those idiots that claim they’re reincarnated? Yeah, that’s right, they are. Don’t you agree? Anytime you let some demonic entity stay within you, an evil spirit, and spout words unfriendly to you through your own mouth—that pretty well speaks for itself. I don’t think I have to make the decision; I think you can figure that out for yourself.
Well, there are three world ages. You must go through each one of them one time and one time only. That’s an incorrect statement, and I will correct myself. You must—each will go through the first two one time and one time only, but only the overcomers will go through the third. Because inasmuch as God saw fit that He must kill Satan and He pronounced a death sentence upon Him, He saw fit to give each one of those He had misled that opportunity to come through this earth age born of woman (a few refused to be and took women for play‑pretty—remember what happened to them) to make his or her mind up whether they would love God or Satan. And within this, He brought the Messiah to this earth in the flesh Himself. He won’t ask you to do something that He won’t do Himself—all the pain of it. As a matter of fact, He went one step further: He allowed Himself to be nailed to that cross through the very palms of His hands, and He did not complain. As a sheep led to slaughter, He could have backed out; He could have changed His mind. Many of you think, “Well, I would like to believe that, but I’m going to wait. I’ll change my mind.” Yeah. What would have happened if He had changed His mind on you? But He leads some, and He chooses some.
But I believe—and don’t ask me to document this; this is a comment from me from years of research—I believe one of the reasons that God came in that body of Messiah and died upon the cross is clearly stated in Hebrews chapter 2, verse 14: “I came to this earth to be crucified whereby I can destroy Satan the devil, which is death.” In other words, I ask: what does it take to kill one of your own children? God saw fit to come here in the form of Messiah to die at the hands of the Kenite (which is to say, the offspring of Satan), Satan egging them on. They killed Him. Therefore the parable: the father sent the son to those that—the field had been led out to the vineyard, rather—and they killed him to try to inherit. Satan wants to inherit. And now inasmuch as Satan killed the body of God in Christ in flesh, God won’t have to worry too much—or I imagine His conscience and His loving self will not feel so bad when He ducks Satan’s curly locks under the burning brine in the lake of fire, and those that choose to follow him.
Bless your hearts. I hope you have understood this. I hope you’ve enjoyed it. Our Father’s knowledge is written in His Word. It’s up to you to ascertain that that will bring you peace of mind and understanding in the events that happen in this earth age and realize how important it is then that you serve Him. There’s really nothing else that’s quite as important, and the faithful love of our close‑knit family, with He being our Father that looks out for us and brings those blessings.
Yes, if someone asks you again as a Christian, “How old do you think this earth is?” don’t say 6,000 years. Say eons—millions of years. It’s been documented.
All right. Bless your heart.
