Hello everyone, we are continuing TI Salvation Cosmic Edition. Last episode, we talked about the heaven as the original universe. If you have not listened to that episode, please go and listen to it. It's part of the topic the cosmos of God. So we've been breaking it down, breaking down all the different realms and all the different dimensions in the cosmos of God, trying to describe the entire thing. Okay, so today we are going to be talking about the earth universe. Okay, this is our own physical universe. So today's topic is the earth is more than just a planet. We've already said that the earth is the heaven universe's mirror dimension. If you haven't listened to that podcast, go and listen to it. And we, if you ask a mirror of what, if there's a mirror, then of course there is an original. If there is a reflection, there must be a true image, right? So that true image is the heaven universe, which we have just discussed right before this episode. So our physical universe is a reflection of the spiritual realm, right? What we see is our is a physical universe, and I did say to you that even the demons that we so called are the spirit realm that we think are in the spirit realm are not actually in the spirit realm, they're all domiciled in this physical universe. So earth is the physical realm, it is visible to us, we can see it, but even this our physical universe contains both seen and unseen elements. In the Bible, the it doesn't really tell us directly that the earth is a mirror dimension because it's not clearly stated, but there is a lot of clues that helps us to understand that what happens in the heaven universe will often show up in the earth universe in some form, and it's not just in between the two universes, but also generally, as long as there is a heaven dimension and then there is an earth dimension, whatever happens in the heaven dimension has a way always of showing up in the earth dimension, you know, the terror of it, because there are many, many, many mirror dimensions around the universe, you know, and it's because of the activity of the famaments, as I told you, which is the river of life flowing out of the throne of God. So there is a deep connection between the two realms, even if we can't fully see or fully explain it yet, because that's what it is. I also told you that the way God showed me the two universes is that you imagine yourself looking into a calm, clear stream, and you see your reflection, right? You're standing on the shore, and then you're looking into a calm, clear, very clear stream, maybe in broad daylight where you can see your reflection very clearly, right? The water that you see is the firmament. Then the image that is standing above the water, which is you, the your real image, the original true image, is the heaven universe, and the reflection in the water on a bright sunny day is the earth universe. That's your image. The reflection inside the water is the earth universe, that's how it is. So the heaven universe sits upon the it looks as if it's sitting upon water, right? Which is actually the firmament which forms as the foundation for the earth universe which exists inside the water. So it's the same image, but the earth universe exists as at a lower level of reality. So because of that, it carries more limitations, it carries is a shadow, so of course, it has more imperfections. There's no way your shadow can be better than you, all right? So it is still a circular universe. The earth universe, even right now, our scientists have not been able to tell whether or not it's all circular, okay, because they can only see to an extent, right? But we do know that it is a circular universe, the heaven universe is a circular universe. If the heaven universe is a circular universe sitting on top of a clear sea of glass, then of course the reflection that is below is also a what? A circular universe. So our earth is a circular universe. Psalm 136 verse 6 says, To him that stretched out the earth upon the foundations of the waters, for his mercies endures forever. You see this now that is telling us that the foundation of the universe is water. I told you the foundation does not start from the ground, the way we dig inside the ground and we put a foundation inside, but actually the foundation is from the top, is inverted because also we are in a mirror dimension. So to us, our ground is you know what I mean, it's inverted, it's still a mirror dimension. So we dig the ground to get a foundation, but actually, foundations begin from up in the higher realm. So that verse of scripture tells us that the earth, if you understand it as an universe, or even the planet earth also is established in water. When the Bible tells us that God stretched out the firmament and then he made divided the waters from the waters, and then he made the things in the earth. You also know that the foundation of each planet is so the firmament, which is water, upon the foundations of the waters. The true foundation of creation, like I've told you, is above, is not beneath, as it appears in our own current plane of existence. So it means that the water is up above us, and we are the reflection that is in water. There is another interesting scripture that paints, you know, a clearer picture of this whole thing that I just explained. Second Peter chapter 3, verse 5 says, For this they willingly are ignorant of that by the word of God the heavens were of old. Now, look at that now. He's talking about the heaven universe. He says, The heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water forever. So it tells us clearly, even the apostles and the disciples, they all knew. They knew because these things are only given to you by revelation. But just in our world today, we just don't know. But we know now, thank goodness, thank God for DIY salvation. So it clearly tells us that our universe is standing out of water and in the water, and it is clearly a mirror dimension. You can see standing out of water and inside the water, it is clearly a mirror dimension. Because of the activities of the farmament, a fact about our universe, Earth, is that the familiament acts as a tent or the boundary for the universe, for the earth universe. Okay, just as it acts as a tent for the planet Earth, it does the same. I told you God's ways are usually just the same. It's not, it's not that different. You know, He He has a pattern. Once He has established a pattern, He makes life easy for Himself. Do you get so He follows the pattern? That's why the Bible tells us that God never changes. He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. Once you understand that aspect of him, you find out that your life will be easier to navigate because your dealings with God will be more will be easier. The your work with God will be easier. God is not trying to keep things away from you, he's not trying to be mean to you, he doesn't want you to beg all the time and grovel and all of that. No. If he even makes you to pray for a long longer period of time, it's because he needs to build you up. Unfortunately, for most of us, we we do not go to prayer, like we don't practice spiritual things unless you know we are pushed to the wall, unless there's a need or there's something that we're believing God for, then we'll now start to pray and pray and pray and pray. So God uses those opportunities now to push you to your next level. Do you get it's an opportunity he uses once he knows that you have an issue, he's not the one that caused the problem in your life. But when the problems come into your life, he's ready, he's there to push you to your next and higher level of success. But imagine if you come of age and you start to do these things just by yourself, just doing it by yourself. If you just come of age and you're doing it on your own, nobody has to cajole you to do it. You'll find that you will have less and less need of miracles because everything will flow one into another. It's not that you will not have needs, not like all your needs will be met at once, no, but you it will flow one after the other. Let me tell you one thing. I cannot relate really when people are you know praying to God and crying and begging Him, you know, for certain things to come to pass in their lives, like you know, I'm begging and begging. I understand if somebody is sick and is in a very, very bad situation, right? And they really are in need of instant miracles. I get that, but I'm trying to say that I cannot relate with, you know, I need something so badly, and then I have to be begging, oh God, please, you know, I have no one else but you. Then I'm trying to look for all the words in the books, you know, to try to cajole him to help me and beg and beg and beg and beg, you know. If I've asked God and we've had a conversation about it, I should just be thanking him afterwards. Do you understand? Because you can't put me in a place where I start to beg because I have a a relationship with him. I have like this kind of distinct relationship with him that I really can't relate. That's what I'm trying to say. I can't relate. If you have a parent that you are easy, you it's easy for you to talk to your parents, right? And then you you have a discussion about the things that you need, and then they tell you, okay, I think we can get this one now, maybe we should not get this one now. You know, and you can actually come to an agreement on certain issues, and you already have established that kind of relationship with your parent. If somebody now tells you that the way you should talk to your parents is that you from the door you have to kneel down and start to crawl so that they will agree, they will they will heed to your plea or they will do what you're asking them to do. You'll look at them as if they're crazy. Do you get? Because they're like, that's not how my relationship is with my dad. Do you get? You'll you'll be like, no, I can just ask him now. What's there to just ask him? I'll just ask him, and then the the worst that can happen is that he will say, No, I think maybe you should have it next year, or maybe you should have it so and so time, or the more worse that can happen is that maybe it's not good for you, you know. But I'll just ask him. Do you get that's why I'm telling you that I I can't relate to those kinds of behaviors? So, because I have a different relationship. So that's the kind of relationship I want you to have with him, and that's the kind of relationship he wants to have with you, where you have your systems, your ways of relating, you know, with him. There's a way he tells you to do things and you obey, you know, your relationship with him will be very different from me because my my character, my personality is very different from yours, yours is different from mine as well. So the way you would relate with God will be entirely different. God can wake you up at 3 a.m. to pray, for example, and he could give me other instructions. For example, I could be in church, and when I'm in the middle of praise and worship, God speaks to me and tells me, put this thing down immediately. So you find me in church, everybody with lifted dance one minute. Afterwards, I close my eyes, I open my eyes, put my hands down, pick up my phone, and start to type. And then you would think I'm a non-serious person because you probably think that I'm texting or maybe on the internet or something. Meanwhile, I'm actually in worship, right? Because it's what he's telling me, I have to put it down immediately because he's going to expand it with me later on. So my relationship with him is entirely different from yours. You just need to find what works for you, but that comes in a place of intimacy with him where you you get to that point where you're very close to him, and you already know both of you know how you you deal. You know what I mean. So, yeah, I was saying that the firmament is like it's a divine structure stretched out by God, you know, is a transparent tent over the earth universe. So our end earth universe actually has a covering. There's something called the end of the earth universe, the end of the universe. There's something called that. So it's only angels that have the capacity right now to be able to get there, or the rest of the universe that have, you know, spirit bodies, their spirit bodies are working, you know, so they can get there, but we can't go there because we can't even go to space right now because of this, the limitations of the three-dimensional body. All right, but there's something called the ends of the universe, and it's the firmament is what gives it the circular shape, and then it defines its limits, you know, separating the earth realm from the spiritual realms up from above. Okay, Isaiah chapter 40, verse 22 says, It is he that seat seated on the upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers. He's the one that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in. Do you see how he explains it? I told you before that sometimes in the Bible, the Bible will use the word famament to as heavens. You know, the word heavens can be used interchangeably to meet to mean famament because it's actually a dimension divider, right? And so if you're below it, you look up, you say that's the heavens because it's transparent. What you're seeing is the heavens, but you will not know that there's actually a division in the dimensions, right? So the Bible is telling us that God sits upon the circle of the earth. Do you think God will sit upon the circle of our earth plan of planet earth? No, it's telling us that where God's throne is situated, right? Where his throne is situated is above the circle of our universe. That means God is in the heaven, in the heaven universe. There's another universe. So when he says that the heaven is his throne and the earth is his footstool, you you now get the point now. You get the point now. His feet is in the earth universe, his throne is on the heavens is upon the heaven universe. It makes it very clear that he is God over the earth, the heaven and the earth. Okay, he's God over everything. Do you understand? His jurisdiction, that's what it means. His jurisdiction covers the entire thing. That's why I told you that the kingdom of God is something that you can you can describe. It's not just intangible, you can describe it. There are physical locations, right? So he now says the second part of the verse of scripture says that he stretched out the heavens as a curtain. So now we now see that the the firmament is a curtain, you know, and he spreads it as it's out as a tent to dwell in. So that means the entire universe has a covering and is the firmament. It covers it like a tent. That's why all the house, all the stars are housed within each of the uh within each of the universe. All the stars are housed. So this is the home of the stars. The earth universe is the home of certain group of stars, the heaven universe is the home of certain group of stars. You see, and I told you stars are beings. In this verse, like I said, you see the word families is used interchangeably with the word heaven. So we also see that the earth is the earth universe is encased within a dome-like structure. It also mimics the stretch cutting or a tent. The waters of the farmament are so flexible as to establish the circular form of the universe and enclose it within a defined space, and it also provides a backdrop for the several layers of heavens within the universe. Family is such a powerful thing, and I told you it is from the Spirit of God. The waters of the firmament not only go over and around the universe, but they also go through the universe. I told you it behaves as if it's the neural network of the universe. Upon the firmament, the rest of the universe, the stars, the planets, and the galaxies, they are suspended by the power of God. Job chapter 26, verse 7 says, God stretched out the north. God stretched out the north over the empty place, and he hung the earth upon nothing. This is when God was creating our universe. The north, of course, where is north? The position of north is up now. Uh-huh. So we know that the north, of course, is talking about heaven, right? The heaven universe. And then upon the heaven, the heaven universe is sitting, and then there's water. He stretched the water, and then he hung the earth upon nothing, the earth universe upon nothing. This is how he did it. So this means that while the firmament gives structure to the visible cosmos, the one we know, the rest of the universe is hung upon nothing. It's suspended and it's upheld solely by God's command. God is indeed great. Okay, so there's something that I would like for you to understand concerning the way the Bible uses the term earth. There are different uses of the word earth in the Bible, and it has multiple layers of meaning. However, ultimately it refers to the entire physical world, including the unseen dimensions that are still part of the physical universe, just that they are hidden and they are beyond our current ability to observe. So, for example, the realm of God and the heaven universe, they are all unseen realms, and they exist beyond this, our space and time, but they are not part of the physical universe. Okay, so unseen dimensions can be physical and spiritual depending on the context. So we may not see things that are happening in our current universe, right? But that does not mean that they are spiritual, they are also physical, just that we are not able to see them. Alright, so let's look at the different uses of the term earth in the Bible. One, the earth is used as a universe. I've talked about that, earth as the universe, the entire unseen and unseen realms within our current reality. But then the second way is that you know that the earth is a planet in our visible universe. So, in this context, earth will mean all not just our own planet, it will mean all planets and other worlds, places where life forms would exist. People are living there, right? Including our own earth. There is an account in Isaiah chapter 45, verse 18. God made this account regarding the purpose of creating the universe. For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens, God Himself that formed the earth and made it, he had established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited. So if we're going to look at it, whether as a universe or looking at it as a planet, the point is that God created the earth not to be toho, not to be in vain, not to be empty. He the purpose for which he created the universe is for it to be inhabited. That's the reason why we know for a fact, as a matter of fact, that the universe is inhabited, and that there are planets, all the other planets that you're seeing, they are in fact inhabited. We just can't see them because they are living in different planes of life, okay? But they are all inhabited. So the first layer of understanding this verse, of course, it applies to our own planet, and rightly so, because you you know that the uh planet Earth was formed to be in was formed to be inhabited, all right? But then of course it also opens the door to the fact that God's design includes habitable realms beyond what we currently know, especially considering his words, how vast God's creation is. God did not create the universe as we know it to be tohu, which means a wasteland, formless or empty. This same word to that we see here is the same word we find in Genesis chapter 1, verse 2 that says, And the earth was without form and void. So it describes the earth as being in a raw, unformed state, right? Not yet arranged or filled with purpose. But Isaiah chapter 45, verse 18 makes it clear that God intended his design to be such that it was not supposed to be a formless void, but rather a place that was formed to be inhabited, to a place that was structured and filled with life, all right? So a wasteland, the wastelands are not God's goal. He creates with purpose, he creates with order, and he creates with habitation in mind. So when scientists look around and they think that we are the only ones in the universe, they could not be farther from the truth. Because we also see in Psalm 24, verse 1, it says that the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof. That means the earth, the entire universe belongs to God, and everything in it is full of stuff now, it's full of places, full of people, it's full of stuff. And it says everything belongs to God. Then it says the world, he calls it the world, the earth, the universe is the world. To us, we think that when the Bible is talking about the world, it's just this earth. No, it's talking about the entire universe, the world and they that dwell therein. So there are people that are dwelling therein in the entire world, in the entire universe. Of course, this means that it encompasses more than one sphere or domain. Everything that belongs to God across creation, which includes other inhabited places in the universe. We are obviously not alone in this universe, and there is life on most planets. We just can't see them because we are trapped in a three-dimensional realm. All right. Hebrews chapter 11, verse 3 says, Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God. Notice that the word worlds is plural because this shows us that there is the existence of multiple created realms, obviously, including other planets, realities, dimensions, all under God's sovereign design. Okay, so we've seen now that the earth can be a planet, it can be the universe. Another way that the Bible uses the word earth is as to represent people, humanity, nations. Psalm 33, verse 8 says, Let all the earth fear the Lord, let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. So we know that earth here does not simply denote land, it's talking about people, humanoids, people who are humanoids by nature that are living on the earth. Alright, it's a prophetic expression that encompasses everyone who dwells in our planet and by extension, all the people that God has fashioned across the vast expanse of his universe. So, yeah, I said also in our last episode that the inhabitants of all these other worlds and planets are also humanoid in forms, they are not alien-looking beings, like you know, the way the media makes us. And if those alien-looking beings are actually real, they belong to our planet earth, and they are not they don't belong to any other star system. So do not be deceived. Okay, the next point is that the word earth also denotes ground. Here we see in Revelation chapter 12, verse 9, Satan was said to be cast into the earth. When I was growing up as a young Christian, I felt as if why would God send Satan to this earth now to come and disturb us? Do you get like so people blame God all the time? But that's if you don't understand, if you do you're not able to rightly divide the word of truth, you would not understand it. Okay, so earth is denoting in this particular verse of scripture, it means ground, and that ground is not our planet earth. Okay, it's not talking about our planet earth, he's talking about the fact that he was there's the universe, the earth universe has a ground. Do you get that? Means Satan was no longer a star hanging, he was cast out into the earth, he was cast down to the ground, and that ground is actually the fabric of reality, which is space-time. It stretches face space-time. That's how we know that is it was that casting down into the ground that creates the underworld, right? Because his star would do what would stretch the fabric of reality. If you've been listening to DIY Salvation, you know what I'm talking about. Okay, so Isaiah chapter 14, verse 12 says he was cut down to the ground. So we now see the terms earth and ground used interchangeably, all right? And I've talked about the universe as God's ground. Ground is used in the cosmic sense, not just as the soil that is beneath our feet, but actually the fabric of space-time. Isaiah chapter 66, verse 1, God declares and says, Heaven is my throne and the earth is my full stool. Also, Acts chapter 7, verse 49 says, Heaven is my throne and the earth is my full stool. So this helps us tells us that we have to expand our imagination. As immense and unfathomable the earth universe is, with its stars, its galaxies, and the countless worlds, it is nothing more than a resting place for the feet of the Almighty God. Think of it, the earth universe, dazzling in its size and mystery, is still described as the ground for God, right? So it is actually the lowest plane of God's created order, it's not the pinnacle of his created order. The pinnacle is the new Jerusalem. That's the pinnacle of his created order. Okay, so there's another fact about the earth universe that I need you to know, which is that the earth universe is the testing ground of free moral agents. I've said this before. So heaven is a place that is a perfect society, right? Is a place where God's will is carried out without resistance. But on the other hand, the mirror dimension, the earth universe, is actually the proving ground. I told you that the way the universe is organized, that you have to ascend before you get to heaven. So everybody who is in this our physical universe have not yet ascended. You know, when the whole world is going to be destroyed, that's the time when we will all ascend properly. Do you understand? Those that do good were going to be taken there. There'll always be an earth, a heaven and an earth, right? But then there will also be a third overarching universe, which is the New Jerusalem universe, which will sit on top of them all. That one is not even a mirror dimension at all. But before then, Earth stands as the proving ground. This universe that we see in is a probationary realm where free moral agents are tested, they are refined, and they are proven. So it is here that our choices will carry eternal weights, you know, for obedience or for rebellion. So it this is what determines your destiny. In James chapter 1, verse 12, James says, Blessed is the man that endures temptation, for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to them that love him. So this tells us that this universe is a place of trial, is a place of endurance, is a place of you know, eventual reward. When people die, when we, especially us as believers, when we die, we do not go, we don't become stars in this physical universe. No. We are taken directly to the feet of the Father, to the highest heaven. That's where we are taken to. I told you it's a temporary holding place for us until the new heavens and the new earth, you know, until God does the renovation afresh again, right? So we're taking straight. So we're not going to still remain here. By then we would have ascended. We are now worthy of being in the same universe as God Himself. But while we're here on this earth, we are testing. While we're telling you to pray in tongues, while we're telling you to learn these things, listen to DIY salvation, listen to the word of God, read your Bible, go to church, connect with other believers. We're saying that because you are currently in a test. Do you understand? This is it, and all of your life issues and all the troubles that are coming to you, you have to pass those tests so that you can ascend. Alright? So this is a testing ground for all free moral agents. From the beginning, Adam was placed in Eden, just not just for enjoyment, for responsibility and for testing. Genesis chapter 2, from verse 16 to 17. And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden, thou may freely eat, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat of it. For in the day that you eat of it, you shall surely die. So this you see now that the earth itself is the arena of choice, whether you obey or whether you disobey. Okay? In Deuteronomy, we see Deuteronomy chapter 30, verse 90, we see Moses reminding the people of this principle. You know, I call heaven and earth, both the both universes, to record this day against you that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing. Therefore, choose life that thou and thy seed may live. So earth is the stage upon which every man must choose between life and death, blessing and cursing. You know, you're going through stuff, don't give up. It's a place of testing. Don't give up. The moment you give up, you have filled the exam already. To get people that cut their life short in suicide, they don't even wait to even get to know God. The worst part is people that already know God and don't know what to do with their faith, and they are under attack of the enemy. Hold, just hold on. Hold on. Get to know God for yourself, get to expand your imagination, get to know God for yourself. This is a testing ground. Hebrews chapter 4, verse 15 tells us that Jesus was the only man who, when he was tested, he was without sin. Of course, for us, we are only able to do the things we're doing because of the blood of Jesus. Right? But Jesus was the only one who came here, was tested, and was without sin. He was tempted like we are, and yet he was without sin. His earthly testing even qualified him to become the perfect redeemer. So even Jesus himself, God Almighty, entered the realm of testing and was tested, and he passed the test. So what about you? You think you're going to escape it? You know, when I was a young believer, I used to be like, God, I don't want all this, all this testing of my faith. I don't want It because I was just worried of it. It seemed to be too difficult, but now we call them faith adventures. Do you get? Because now we know it's just a testing and you're going to come out. You know, because even without those kinds of tests, it guarantees your victory, guarantees that you're even going to be bigger and better. Now, the next point about our universe is that because the earth universe is a testing ground for all free moral agents, it means that it has a prison system. I do not think, I don't believe that the heaven universe has a prison system, but our earth universe has it because the earth universe is the probationary realm for free moral agents. It also carries within it prison systems, which are the actually places of confinement and judgment for those that rebel against God. And these are what Inno calls the hollow places of the earth. This is what science describes as black holes. They're not just merely chaotic voids, they are cosmic prisons. Alright? They represent sealed domains where fallen beings are restrained. The underworld is part of the earth universe. It's not a separate realm on its own, it's part of the earth universe. Okay? 2 Peter chapter 2, verse 4 says, For if God spared not the angels that seem, but cast them down to hell, which is Tataros, and delivered them into the chains of darkness to be reserved unto judgment, shows that the rebellious angels, they are not free, they are not walking, roaming up and down, they are imprisoned in regions of darkness, waiting for their final sentence. Even human beings who rebel are connected to this system of confinement because Jesus talked about such a place in Luke chapter 16, verse 23. The rich man and Lazarus. The rich man died outside of the covenant and was said to be in hell where he was in torment. Right? So the universe has prison compartments that hold spirits awaiting their final destiny. Right? There are different levels in that pla in this prison system. There's a level for human beings, there is a level for demons, there's also a level for these angels that sinned. By contrast, of course, heaven requires no prison. The Bible paints heaven as a place of God's throne where his will is done perfectly. It's the realm of righteousness, justice, is a realm of peace, and is the realm of joy in the Holy Ghost. There is no rebellion there, there is no need for chains, there's no need for pits, there's no need for cells, there's no need for prisons in heaven. So while heaven is pure, earth is a testing ground and it contains both the stage of choice and the prison of consequences. I've also said that the entire universe is inhabited by beings that the Bible refers to as spirits. So all these beings that many of them are generally five-dimensional and humanoid in appearance, right? Of course, as opposed to us, that we are like three-dimensional. So it's possible that they even have we have spirits that are more, but I believe that the spirits that are more than five-dimensional, they will be living in the heaven universe, right? Because they have ascended. We know that at least they are generally five-dimensional spirits that are living in our universe. There will also be animals, there'll be trees, there'll be marine life, there'll be creeping things, there'll be flying creatures. We also, as human beings, we are spirits, just that we are trapped in three-dimensional bodies. So that means that we are not fundamentally different from these spiritual beings in essence. The key difference lies in the fact that our realm, our planet Earth, presently requires us to live in three-dimensional bodies for our testing. God is the father of spirits, and if God is our father, then we are of a truth, we are also spirits, right? It also tells us that our true essence as human beings is spiritual in nature, and that's even if we are inhabiting physical bodies on the earth. Hebrews chapter 12, verse 9 says, God is the father of spirits. During the rapture, our bodies will be transformed, right? If you've not listened to the episode about the rapture, the mystery of the rapture, go listen to it because I told you these messages, you've not heard them anywhere before. Go and listen to the because I did not even do, I look for for years I've been looking for the answers to these questions, right? Looking for it for many years, I never found them until God taught me an increase in capacity and God started teaching me himself so I could understand them clearly. So go and listen to that message, the mystery of the rapture. It will tell you so many things. During the rapture, our bodies will be transformed into spiritual five-dimensional plus bodies, you know, so that we're able to live in the heaven universe as well as the new Jerusalem. Okay, so finally, part of the earth is the underworld, and I've told you that the underworld is a structured, is a multi-compartment realm, is located beneath the earth universe, right? Unlike other realms, the underworld is not a planet, right? It's not a planet, it also lacks a firmament, it doesn't have water. That's the reason why you you know in in Luke chapter 16, verse 24, Jesus said that the rich man, after he had died, you know, he was tormented in the flames and he cried out for a drop of water to cool his tongue. There's no water there. It also tells it that spirits drink water or they need water, it's still the river of life. Okay, maybe the need for water might be different from what our body currently needs, but they too do drink water and they do depend on water. We know that the trees, the tree of life, you know, in in the garden of the Lord also needs water because there's the river of life flowing and the trees are springing forth from beside it. So we know that beings, spirit beings also depend on water somehow, all right. We don't know the to the extent with which they do, but they do. So, but there's absence of water. The only place in the entire universe that is absence of water is the underworld. It shows that that is a place of deprivation, it's a dark place. Folks that live in the in the underworld, um, demons that live, they're not folks' place, demons that live in the other world, they they they're not happy, they're not happy. I don't know why they are lying to people and telling people that you know hell is a party. Nobody is happy being in prison, you know. Nobody is happy being there to get, and they're there and they're going to be there forever. Psalm 74, verse 20 says, Have respect unto the covenant, for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitation habitations of cruelty. The Bible calls the underworld the habit the dark places of the earth, and they are filled with anguish and cruelty. To get they are they are terrible, you know. For for centuries, scientists have speculated about black holes and what is inside there, you know. But we the Bible have told us what it is, is a prison system for for stars. Okay, the underworld was designed as a prison system for galaxies. There's usually a one big prison system or a big black hole in the center of each galaxy. Okay, so it's a prison system, and when a star dies, that's the same way they also go down and they form hollow places as well. So Enoch tells us that the that deep abyss with columns of heavenly fire, he says that these places are the are the hollow places, and the way he describes it, he Enoch says that he saw a place which had no firmament of the heaven above and no firmly founded earth beneath it. So you can't you can't stand on it. It's like a place that you freely fall. Do you get? And he says there was no water upon it. That means there was no firmament. There was he already talked about no firmament, but there's no sea, there's nothing, there's no way to get water. And then he says there was there are no birds, but it was a desert and a horrible place. You see those pictures that show you how hell is, those videos, or rather, those movies that show you how hell really looks. That's how it is. It's a barren land. Okay, it's barren. Then imagine spirits that have enjoyed drinking and enjoyed the manner of things on the earth. That's why they're always wanting to inhabit a human being and come and enjoy, live out their life here. So, how are they doing it? They are projecting, they are still in hell, but they are projecting with your words. You can send them back and seal them there, and they cannot come out again. Any demon that disturbs you, send them back to hell, seal them there and say, Never again for all eternity, you will not come out again. That's the worst punishment you can give to any demon, they will not come out again. Enoch also describes it as the abyss as a prison of angels where they are going to be imprisoned forever until the final judgment, where they will be returned back to source. The compartments in the older world are not, it's not just single, it's not a single uniform place of punishment, right? It's a multi-layered realm. So it starts with the grave, right? The grave is like the general abode of abode of the dead. Just before before Jesus died, before Jesus went to the cross, there was a place, the upper compartment of the underworld was called the grave. It's also what the Bible calls Sheol or Hades, the general place of the dead, right? So it was a collective realm of the dead where both the righteous and the unrighteous people they went after death. Jesus had not yet died then, so everybody was. It was this earth as a sinful career, so everybody was considered to be sinful, and so they all went down to Hades, to the to the grave or to Sheol. In the grave, there are two distinct compartments in the grave. There was a place called paradise, which is Abraham's bosom. Abraham's bosom was the upper compartment of the underworld, which is closer, it was a place of comfort reserved for the righteous dead, just before the redemptive work of Christ. So it was called Abraham's bosom because the peaceful, blessed realm. When Lazarus died, that's the place that Lazarus went to. He was in Abraham's bosom. When Jesus was on the cross, he also assured the repentant thief that was beside him, and it said to him, He said, Today you shall be with me in paradise. So that's where Jesus first went to. He went to Abraham's bosom, of course. So paradise is was once part of the underworld, it had water because we've seen that Lazarus, the rich man knew that Lazarus had access to water. If not, he would not have asked Lazarus to bring water for him. So although paradise was part of the underworld, it had water. It shows that there was a presence of the firmament, or at least there was water. There was a way, maybe there was something that God had done, and there was water. When the Bible talks about it, he says that there was a gulf because when the rich man was asking Abraham and was telling Abraham, please tell Lazarus to give me some water, dip his hand in water and cool my tongue. Abraham replied and said, Besides, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed. That means there was a separation. And what is a gulf? A gulf is like water that is seeping into land. Do you understand? Small water that is seeping into land. That's what a gulf is. And it says there's a gulf between us. That's how you know that there was access to water, and he could even see it. And Abraham, in Abraham's bosom, and paradise, he had access to water. The second part of the grave is what we call Sheol or Hades. That's where Lazarus was in, the place of the dead for the unrighteous dead. The place of the unrighteous dead is a place of torment and spiritual thirst. The rich man found himself in this realm, you know, and the Bible records and says, and in Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torments. So both Lazarus and Richman were in the underworld, but there was a great divide between them that one could not cross to the other, even if they were now spirits, no physical body again, because of the great gulf, the boundary between righteousness and judgment. Then after Hades, we now find the next realm is the pit or the abyss. Right? Just like Enoch mentioned the pit, the abyss. That's the place of the stars where the place the angels are held. That's where Lucifer is held. That's where all other demons that you know they are there in the pit or the abyss. The pit or the abyss is a temporary holding place for demonic beings until their final judgment. At the final judgment, they will be thrown into hellfire. It's very different. They'll be thrown into hellfire where they'll be returned back to source. I'll tell you about hell, hellfire another time. So there's a deeper compartment of the abyss called the bottomless pit, and that is where Satan is going to be bound during the millennium. The bottomless pit. He will be put there and shut up. There's a reason why they put him in the bottomless pit for that 1,000 years. You see this thing that Satan is doing now where he is projecting himself and operating on the world as if you know he's still living in the world and so on and so forth. He will not be able to do it again for that 1,000 years, right? So, and then the last part of the on the world is where we called the Tataros. That is the special prison. That's like the maximum security prison. It's the special prison for the fallen angels who corrupted mankind and they bore Nephilim. They are the reason why we have so-called aliens and all manner of beings on the earth today. We have mermaids, we have vampires, we have werewolves, we have dogmen, we have all those kind of beings that you see the white-looking aliens, the greenish-looking aliens, the reptilians, all those things. They are there because of this, the work of these guys, these bad guys. And that's the reason why they are shut up in Tataro. So they cannot even, what's that word now? They cannot even project themselves on the earth today. They cannot, they are shut up forever. There's no way they are not free to roam about. Second Peter 2 verse 4 says, Cast them down to hell, deliver them into the chains of darkness. Alright, so this concludes the cosmos of God, a multidimensional, intelligently designed creation. Everything has purpose, everything has order, everything has meaning. Heaven rules, earth is on probation, the underworld holds the records and the sentences, and through it all, Christ is at the center, holding it all together now and forever.
