New technologies associated with modern humans was this, they found that finer blades and projectile weapons began to appear, which is their way of saying that as this modern man began to evolve into a state of more intelligence, he began to look at things he used to kill his meat and such like and the things he worked with, and looked for improvements. He began to get the knowledge of how to build them, make them, or refine them into a more refined state. His weapons were not just crude instruments anymore: They became refined. On and on it goes about this modern man. They could see that his brain began to grow larger. This is why they want to bring us right off of that line, without any broken link in the chain. I will say yes to this, There was a modern man of what they call man. We do not know what his name was, or what he was actually like, but whatever you or the scientists want to say this modern man was, whatever his name was, by the time the devil and his angelic helpers had succeeded in perverting the whole thing, and bringing all that had evolved up until this time, into a state where God had to deal with it, it is evident that they had desecrated the whole planet. They had turned the animal kingdom into chaos. God let that go on long enough until the traces of this perversion was evident on every area on the face of this planet. God saw what those angels had done. He saw what the animal kingdom He had given them power to rule over and subdue, had been turned into. They had succeeded in turning animal against animal. Animals became meat eaters. Those "people" became people that eat other "people." I noticed as I read here, they have even studied the skulls of some of the later findings and have found how their enemy, whichever the case might be, used sharp knives, which would be flint blades, to cut the meat from the skull when eating them. That tells me this bunch of scientists that are looking for something, need to look up. They can try to find out what kind of knife was used, but they still search in vain, because they are denying the existence of the only ONE that knows every detail. They have found where ribs on certain skeletons have been broken, and because they were not properly set back, they grew back in a deformed state, so they surmised from that, that this man died from lung trouble. It just makes sense, that whatever kind of blow that would cause that rib to be injured that way, would certainly have punctured a lung. That is just the way those educated know-it-all kind of people read these things. Well if they could just see God in it they would have a chance to learn something, but no, that is all they can see. Do you think it is going to bring them a reward? No. It is going to bring nothing but a headache in hell. They do not think such a place exists, but the time will come that they will see first hand. While I am on this line of thought, I want to take some time to show why Lucifer had to be judged. If we can get him judged, then we can build the picture around that. When Lucifer began to realize the powers he actually had, somewhere in the millions of years past, and I do not care how many million because that in itself is immaterial to what we are bringing out, he just simply pushed his authority to the limit. Somewhere way back there, as this animal kingdom that was evolving, just kept getting larger and filling the earth, it no doubt got to a point in time that Lucifer began to think, Oh, what I could do with this power. No doubt he began to think, I can turn the nature of these animals against one another. In order to do that though, he first had to get the other angels to work with him. I believe he had to work a long time to get so many of the other angels to use their power to cooperate, and work with him. Keep in mind, That whole era was the time God used in testing angels. Somewhere in the process of time though, those other angels finally made their decision to cast their lot and go with Lucifer. He was the head of the whole plot. They then began to turn on the animals, the animals that were propagating, living peacefully in giant forests and such like. All of a sudden there was anger, hostility, just like you see among the human society today. Keep in mind, the things you see and hear about, that are taking place in the earth today, is just the devil reenacting his age old game he played in the prehistoric era. I am sure everyone realizes that our lives are motivated by some spirit. That does not mean that everything we do is necessarily done because of the influence of some spirit being. If you are chopping weeds out of the corn, that does not require an angel standing there telling you how to do it. No. But he is definitely there to guide your course in life. Therefore when those angels did begin to pervert and change the nature of the animals they were ruling over, I can see animals begin to kill and devour other animals. The longer this went on, with blood being spilled, eventually there were blood spots all over the face of this globe. Why do you say that, Bro. Jackson? Well, it is one thing to imagine, but when you see remains that prove it, that is another story. In Washington D.C., in the Museum of Natural Science and History, in a glass cage, there is the petrified remains of the body of a prehistoric animal. The animal looked something like our hog, one of average size. The mouth though, was like that of a small crocodile. That animal was is in the process of killing another one of the same species. When an animal kills other animals to eat, that is bad. Bears have been known to do that. This creature has a smaller creature on the ground, with his foot holding it down, while with his mouth he is pulling the flesh from its shoulder, to eat. Whatever the judgment stroke of God was, that is the position this creature was in when life went out of it. Do not tell me God did not know how to strike a blow of judgment when the time came. That thing was struck dead instantly, and whatever followed that, followed quick enough God wanted that thing to remain, to become petrified and become evidence here in the last days, of something that had transpired way back then. That is why all over the face of this globe, you not only find things in a petrified state, but you find it fossilized as well. There are skeletons in various places on this planet that tell a story. Down in Mexico, there is a museum that covers many blocks. They have cases and cases of fossilized bones. Behind the cases of glass there are wall mural paintings that portray the vegetation, the swamp, how it might have looked where this animal finally died and lay there in that swamp until finally its carcase sunk, and after sinking, over the period of the centuries it became preserved. God knew all of this evidence would be needful here in these last days. Do not think it is strange that the angelic family would bring this thing to such a state of chaos: All you have to do is look what Satan and his fallen host of angels has done to society in our day and hour. They announced in the News yesterday, that another truck driver for Ford Motor Co. was found shot to death. Someone just simply came up and shot him. Think of it, What if time was to last another hundred years with the devil doing things like that at his present pace? Would the living generation not live in a time of total fear? It is all because our modern philosophers, who, some years ago thought that living under Christian influence was not right, because people were being subjected to something that was not of their personal choosing. Well regardless of what that kind may say, people could walk downtown, or almost anywhere else at night, without having to be in constant fear of being attacked. Today, people are scared, no matter where they are. Rapists, murderers, child abusers and gangsters of every sort are everywhere, and it is not going to be any better until the Lord Jesus sets up His Millennial reign with Satan bound up in chains. Rev. 20:1-3, says, "And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season." From there, you go right on into the Millennium. Well, this is the kind of society modern man wanted, a society void of any Christian influence, but I ask you, Is he evolving in the right direction? No. He is evolving backwards, going very rapidly toward the kind of society God will have to judge. I can just picture how God said, Lucifer, come here! What have you been doing? Nothing. As God called the angelic family into question, What have you been doing? Nothing. Is this not what we are seeing in the modern court rooms of today, "Nothing?" Law breakers are always pleading innocent. Not guilty. You do not have to be real smart to see that there is a devil running loose in our society, disrupting, confusing and throwing everything into chaos. Well I can say on the authority of the word of God, Those who do not wake up to what is taking place and turn to God in repentance, are all going to go somewhere one of these days and they will not like it, but it will be too late for them to do anything about it. Then they will say, Who did this? You have heard many times, The devil made me do it: Well he certainly played his part in it, but that took place in the Garden of Eden. Ever since that episode, mankind has been born into the world with a nature to sin and rebel against God. Then when you realize there are two spiritual forces vying for your attention every day of your natural life, it comes down to this, Which are you giving the most attention to, the Spirit of God, or that spirit of evil?

Because of the way our society is today, with all criminals pleading innocent and ignorant of everything they are accused of, I can just see God approaching Lucifer and saying, Lucifer, what have you been doing? And hear his reply, Nothing. Why are those animals dead? I don't know. Did not Jesus say he is a liar, and a murderer, and that he is the father of all such? That can be found in John 8:44, where Jesus was confronted by a bunch of religious Pharisees. We will read that one verse. "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it." All of those angels that joined forces with him are liars also. Why is that blood on the ground down there? Don't ask me: I know nothing about it. After Cain had killed Abel, the LORD said to him, (Gen 4:9) Where is Abel thy brother? And he (Cain) said, I know not: am I my brother's keeper? You can just hear that satanic, sentimental, feel sorry, why blame me when I know nothing about it, stream of lies and excuses. That is the devil's work, and it has been all along, no matter whether it is sixty million or sixty days ago, or when. It is the devil all along, that lies like that. That is why Jesus said he was a murderer from the beginning. What most people do not realize is, his beginning was back here in this era of time long before Adam had a beginning. And he abode not in the truth. Therefore he is the father of the first lie. Whatever he did, him and all of his cohorts, he is the originator of murder and lie telling. You see it today, running rampant on this planet, all because in the last forty or fifty years of this twentieth century, modern man has declared, I want more freedom, I want to express myself. Now we have killing, and all kinds of torture. Some say, How are we going to eliminate this? It will not be eliminated through greater endeavors of education. Man's fixation for greater education and more freedom is what opened the door wide open to Satan and all his demons. Yes, those fallen angels are now known as demons. Satan has commissioned them to make your lives miserable, and to lead you as far from the knowledge of God as it is possible to do. Therefore knowing that, we need to realize that this is exactly how the planet became void, as is found in Genesis 1:1. God had to judge those angels for what they did to the creation they were put in charge of, and they are judged to the point that they are angels of darkness, and no more can they live in His realm and have peace. I can see, as He took them for a period of time, He snatched them off this planet. Then He took this planet. I can see a terrible earthquake begin to develop and it began to go into convulsions and this planet shook and vibrated enough it rocked itself out of relationship to the sun. THAT CAUSED THE ICE AGE TO SET IN. I have explained it like this, Suddenly, cold temperatures began to take over. This tells me this animal kingdom that had lived and flourished in an environment where palm leaves could grow, even in Siberia, now animals, suddenly, in a few minutes time, are shaken and dead. In Siberia, Russian scientists found a bison, something like our buffalo, frozen with meat still on its bones. It had belched up the cud. You know how the bison family is, they are like the cow, in that they chew a cud. It was ready to chew that cud again, but something happened that killed it instantly. You have to understand, if it was not something that caused an instant death, natural death would cause that animal to fall over, and it would bloat, rot, and decay away. In this case something happened that instantly froze it in that state. With that in mind, I will remind you of something else. In Lordsburg, New Mexico, a few miles from there, back in the 1950's, when they were surveying and getting ready to build a highway, a man driving some heavy equipment, scooping up dirt, all of a sudden sees clumps of stuff rolling up into his scoop. He got off his equipment and went to check on it, and as he digs the sand and stuff away from it, huge pieces of bone are discovered. He told the foreman about it, and he said, Well, we better get the authorities. Pretty soon, they had people from universities and everywhere, there checking it out. As they excavated in the earth where they were going to build this highway, they found three giant mastodon elephants that had been walking in single file, when something suddenly took the life from them and they all fell over dead. There is where they were buried, to remain a fact that one time there were giant elephants, or elephant-like creatures that walked the plains of America. Does this mean everything froze instantly? Not at all, but it does mean this, In some places there was instant death, freezing up everything instantly. God put some of those things in a deep freeze for us to discover here at the end of Gentile time. In other places, the temperature just dropped until life began to extinguish. In a few short months, or years all remaining life on this planet had perished. That is the planet earth that Moses wrote about. In the beginning, GOD created the heaven and the earth, and the evolutionists and atheists want to say it just happened. Nothing happens by chance. Common sense tells me there was a Creator involved in all this precision of rotation and so forth: That does not come about by chance. I will agree with them, that this thing started some sixty million or billion years ago: It matters not to me how long ago God first created the planet, and I am not overly concerned about the big bang they talk about. Just say, Yes there was a big bang that set all this in motion, but who was the author of the bang? There is no such thing, that out of chaos, something comes into perfection. God was the architect, the Great designer of all of it. He is the greatest scientist there ever was. Common sense tells me also, that anything this big that would be brought about through the process of a big bang somewhere, would have so much heat and stuff generating from it that for thousands upon thousands of years, it would be utterly impossible that any kind of life could exist here. However long it took for God to see that it had cooled down, and that this planet had reached a state where life could exist on it, since God Himself was the only life in the universe at that time, He began to express certain forms of life on it. I want to show you how He did it. I never realized until the other day, all you have to do, if you remember how a certain thing was said, and you remember what has happened in time past, is look to that. How many remember from history, how Pompeii was destroyed by a volcano? It was totally buried by a volcano. We want to go into that to clarify some of this.

It was hard for me to know how to approach this message, what parts to bring out first. However if we do not see God in it, and we do not see that there was a devil somewhere, that in the process of time appeared on the scene and perverted God's creation, we cannot come anywhere close to the truth in trying to deal with CREATION V/S EVOLUTION. We know that some of the angels chose not to stay in their original, ordained calling. This is what threw the whole thing into a negative picture. As I have said, There are many religionists, people who have studied the Bible from a theology standpoint, who will try by their way of saying things, to convince us that all of this creation took place in a time of six days of twenty four hours each. That is just the way they look at it: They fail to read between the lines. There are others that will agree that the planet earth has been here a lot longer than six thousand years, but for some reason they do not seem to have any insight that there might have been the period of time wherein God gave angels a chance, or an opportunity to make a choice as to whether they would cooperate with Him to fulfill His purpose on the planet or go their own way. It is up to you and I to see the reality of all of this. If we fail to see it, then we have a book here, with many passages of scriptures and we cannot possibly know what they mean. Who was the prophet Isaiah talking about when he said, "How thou art fallen from heaven, O Lucifer?" If such an event took place, where did it take place? It sure did not take place any time after our beginning in Adam. Ezekiel also said, speaking to that same anointed cherub, that same spirit being that Isaiah spoke of, (Ezekiel 28:13) "Thou hast been in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the Beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. (14) Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth: and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. (15) Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee." Why do people want to believe all of that took place in our Garden of Eden where God placed Adam and Eve? You cannot possibly make that description there in Ezekiel, fit into any setting since Genesis 1:2, where God began to restore His creation to a productive state. I want to show you how science and that scripture link up. Many years ago when archaeologists began to find prehistoric fossils, where do we hear of them finding them? In central Africa. Out of the region of Africa they began to write their analysis, because they believed creation started there. In Ezekiel 28, it says, "Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God, thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire." It begins to name these stones, topaz, sardius, all those. Did you know that is the region where all those diamonds and jewelry that the world has commercialized, came from, all the way to South Africa, where great mines of gold were discovered? Please remember, those stones have been made into jewelry because somewhere in ancient times they were types of rock that passed through a great extremity of fire. "Thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire." That should let us know that was where Satan had his beginning, where God gave him the beginning of his animal kingdom to rule over. That however, is not where God gave you and me our beginning. Right in here (pointing to circle on chart which represents the beginning of our six thousand years) is our beginning. This is called the Fertile Crescent today. This is the center of what is recorded in the Bible records. Here is where God raised up a people and chose that people to carry the revelation of a Creator, and to be the means by which God's word would be declared to the world. Now if that be true, then somewhere there was an era of time that all these angelic beings were tested and proved. Then we have scientists who want to believe that because they have found the traces of this modern man, as they refer to him, and have found him in different caves throughout Europe and on into the Middle East, even as far as Israel, there was no broken interval between that man and you and I. The Bible does not agree with that idea. The Bible agrees that there was a broken interval. That is why I read the text from Genesis 1:1-2. As Moses wrote about it, he saw the earth, how that in the beginning God created it, so on and so forth, and then the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep. That goes to show that as God gets ready to deal with the planet again, to fulfill a certain purpose, the planet is hanging there in space where it has been for the millions of years that we believe it has been in existence, so let us see what the prophet Jeremiah said about this. He came along years later, after Moses, and wrote his prophecy. Turn to Jeremiah 4. Jeremiah, as he is prophesying about the condition of his people, their doings, naturally he was prophesying of things that God was going to do against them. All of a sudden the eyes of that prophet go beyond the present tense of his hour and he said in the 23rd verse, "I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void, (This is not some future tense picture that he sees. God is giving him an opportunity to see what the earth had been at one time. It has got to be understood in that manner.) and the heavens, and they had no light. (That is why it said darkness was upon it.) I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly. I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, (When was that? That was right here. (Pointing to chart, before our beginning.) Why did he speak in respect of a man if there had never been such a creature that looked like that prior to our hour. How many see the point?) and all the birds of the heavens were fled." This prophet, hundreds of years after Moses wrote about it, sees it like that and knows it was definitely for a purpose of judgment. Now I have to emphasize the fact, that when God executed that judgment against that angelic family, it was His business entirely, as to what time it started. The actual event and execution of judgment, yes I have to say, was something catastrophic, and all it needed to bring it about was a terrible earthquake to hit the planet, one that literally threw the planet into convulsions, and the tidal waves would begin to throw the earth completely out of balance, and that would change its orbit. That is enough to cause the planet to drift out of orbit, from its natural course, just enough to start that cold, cold temperature. How long that Ice Age lasted is none of my business. I will leave that up to the scientists who do not want to admit there is a God directing everything they are able to write about. I will say this for sure, Whatever happened, it lasted long enough it brought an end to life as it had existed at that time. I will say also, Whatever the animal kingdom that had been given to the angelic family to rule over had evolved to, and whatever state it had evolved from somewhere back in here, through to the end when their bodies went into the earth, when God did bring the earth out of that judged state of darkness to start his next go around, this time, he is not letting angels rule: He created man, a little lower than the angels, Psalms 8, to rule over His other created creatures. In Hebrews, the apostle Paul picked up from the 8th Psalm, where the Psalmist wrote, (verses 3-6) "When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; What is man, that thou art mindful of him? For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honor. Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet." Paul says also, concerning man, Thou has made him a little lower (notice) than the angels. What did he do? He crowned him with glory and honor, and set him to have dominion over the works of his hands. That is this right here. That is why when He spoke to Adam and Eve, after He had created them in spirit form, he plainly told them, (Gen. 1:28) "Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth." Now to you theologians who cannot read the Bible properly, and you think all of God's creating was this side of Genesis 1:1, Why did God tell Adam, AND REPLENISH THE EARTH? If there was not something here in a prehistoric time, then that was the wrong word for God to use. God is the author of every language, so I am convinced He said exactly what He meant, and the word REPLENISH, as I looked it up in the Dictionary, means, TO MAKE FULL OR COMPLETE AGAIN, as with a new supply, to supply or stock it up again. What a simple word for religionists to stumble over. Though it is a simple little word, it contains such a tremendous picture. If God would turn that word into a telescope, you could see from here, right straight back through millions of years of time. That word, instilled in the consciousness of Adam and Eve, while they were yet in spirit form, became a part of their conscience when they were put in a body, and they did not have to ask questions. If Adam had been walking around one day and had run across one of those fossilized bones, do you think he would have stopped, scratched his head and said, Now Lord, where did that come from? No. He would have known that it was a part of the past, a time which he had no part of, but the fact that he has been given a commission to fill this earth up again, to take dominion over this earth and subdue it, take dominion over every fish and things of the sea, over everything that flies in the heavens, and over all the cattle and its kind in the fields, he knew those words, Be fruitful and multiply and replenish, meant, again, fill this earth up. What a picture for religionists to look at, and not be able to see anything beyond what is written there in Genesis. I want you to be assured, when we entered into this Bible picture, we were just starting over again. We were not the first creation God had on this planet. However we are dealing with a form of life that is different than the angels. Now as we have said that, if we can see that somewhere there had to be a stroke of judgement come from God, that brought that era to an end, because angels had made their choice and joined Lucifer against their Creator, we can understand things in the Bible that otherwise would make no sense at all to us. Those angels fell into two camps, those that were faithful to the Creator's purpose, and those who joined Lucifer to defy the Creator's purpose. How long that time span was, is none of my business. That is God's business. I am just thankful to be given the privilege of understanding why God used certain terminology, terms that the world in general can never understand.

I want to take you back, and give you a little insight as to what might have happened. I have read a little of what scientists and archaeologists say, how this came about and how that came about, how this was and how that was, but I never hear them say a thing about angels. Well there is not a thing that goes on in heaven or on the face of this earth, that there is not a spirit behind it: either a righteous spirit, or an evil spirit. I think it is in Ecclesiastes that it says, There is nothing new under the sun. That simply means that somewhere, that same ornery deed has been acted out before. What is behind it? A spirit of course. When these people today that are so highly educated in the realm of modern man, keep saying he is a branch off of that prehistoric creature, we can be very thankful to our heavenly Father, that we know better than that. We will get into all of that as we go along, but right now, let me ask you a question, After God put Adam here, and brought forth an animal kingdom for him to have as help mates, think seriously, Do you really think God created a new family of animals? What has evolution been doing all this time? What was the purpose of evolution? It is not an evil word. It is a word that has the law of God in it. I will show it to you. Why would God have allowed time to have lasted so long, to eventually let creatures that start out small, but through eons of time, grew into different types of species and creature, all be looked upon as unprofitable to His purpose? We can name some of those animals. That is why God let it get to the place where that animal kingdom had genetically, by evolution reached a finished state of what He was after. If He was the architect of this, He let it go on until it reached a finished state, whereby they would eventually be able to fulfill a further use in His ultimate plan. That is why He resurrected and gave to Adam that part of that animal kingdom that is necessary to fulfill what He has purposed. You must always be aware of the fact that the Creator knew all about every detail of the whole creation, their purpose, their conduct, their choices and everything from start to finish, before He ever created that first thing. As I said, Evolution is not a bad word. Evolution plays a vital part in the whole thing. The difference between what we believe about evolution, and what the unbelieving world believes about it, is that they leave the Creator out of the picture completely; and we know THE CREATOR IS THE FATHER OF EVOLUTION ALSO. I got this definition out of a dictionary, which says, Evolution is the gradual change that takes place as something develops into its final form, such as a frog from a tadpole. As a little boy growing up in the country, I did not have to go to the creek to see what a tadpole looked like, because, practically every time it rained, if there was a puddle along the road, not too far from the creek, it would not be long until you would see that puddle full of black tadpoles. As long as there was water in the puddle, you would see tadpoles, just like a little black pea with a tail on it, but as you watched them over a period of days, after a while that tail began to get shorter. As time passed, on the back side of its body there would be two little nodules begin to form. After a while there would be two legs, while the tail would be getting shorter and shorter. The next thing, there would be two front legs. Watch out, when the two front legs are on there you would not see him tomorrow. Do you know why? He is heading for the creek. He has lost the tail and evolved into a frog, and now you hear him at night, croaking. With this in mind, remember, evolution works in the plant life, as well as animal life. While I was reading in a text book this afternoon, my attention was drawn to this: As the scientists are saying this and that, this showed a tree with a fish on one limb, a horse on another, and a cow on another, and on like that, which was actually supposed to mean that somewhere in eons past, all life started with one little cell. Now brother, that is not the point. I am going to say it like this, All life did start with one cell, but that one cell was God, if you will pardon my terminology, because, from Himself, He filled the whole universe. God Himself has no form, but He has given a certain form to everything He has created. Then, over a period of time, those forms evolved into various other appearances. Do you understand my point? He is all intelligence, He is all wisdom. Being God, He existed at one time when there was nothing through which He could relate Himself to or through. There was nothing that could even know Him as being God. He could never be known as what He had the potential to be, yet He is life, and that life fills the universe. He is omnipresent, He is everywhere. He is not just a mere cell. He fills everything. He is all wisdom, so the word omniscient applies to that attribute. He is all powerful, so that is why the word omnipotent is attributed to Him. His power is unlimited. In Ephesians, chapter 1, we find the apostle Paul expressing a revelation that many of the people you talk to will bitterly defy. In verse 5, he says, Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will. As Paul would write about him like this, it simply means God began to meditate, or counsel with Himself, and in doing so He decided He would have Himself a universe in which there would be many planets. To Him it would be like little particles of dust or rocks floating in space. But my point is, it was He who created the elements, or brought the gases and matter or whatever scientists want to call it into being. It was He Himself who is the greatest chemist there ever was, that out of nothing, He made something come into existence. Then He very well could have caused it to go off with a big bang when the time was right. We have no reason to reject that theory: It is not important to our purpose. Keep in mind, if it did start that way, there was a tremendous amount of heat present when that bang went off. Will you not agree with me? I am convinced that whatever that heat degree was, that it was entirely too hot for any kind of life to exist in it. It would have been too many thousands of times centigrade or Fahrenheit for anything to even exist in. Since God Himself is not anything that is matter, it therefore had no affect on Him. He is a spirit. How long this planet spun, we have no way of knowing, but He watched over it and brought it right to the very spot in space where He wanted it. I will say this, if this explosion was an accident, there would be no way all these particles could eventually spin and float, and drift into a perfect orbit with anything else. You would have nothing but a constant collision, booming and banging, everything floating in chaos. That is not the picture we see: We see predictable patterns of everything in the universe. There was a bang, but after awhile God the Creator, who is a Spirit, reached out and stopped everything exactly where He wanted it. Yes, He left this thing hang in space for eons of time, hundreds of thousands of years, as it cooled. How long that might have been, we just have to let rest in God. Since He is life, He knew exactly when He could begin to deal with the planet to bring forth life. First, everybody knows if there is going to be animal life, there has to be a certain amount of oxygen present. If there is going to be vegetative life, there has to be a certain amount of carbon dioxide and monoxides for that to flourish. When the two that are opposite in that which they take in, the one takes in carbon dioxide an gives off oxygen. One is the manufacturer to produce for the other, and it in turn manufactures and gives back. This is the way God keeps everything in balance. Any way you look at it though, it took a super intelligent Creator to design it all. When the time came for this planet to be used for some purpose of the Creator it did not look like a beautiful garden. It was a mass of hard matter. Some places were jagged, looked like pieces of granite stuck up into the sky. We can say also, There was every kind of description you could imagine. Where was the beautiful black loam soil? Where was the beautiful prairie with the waving grass? You have to have soil for grass to grow in. You do not see beautiful grass growing on top of a big rock. Just remember, God was the beginning of everything. It is His design. It is His program. He just began to bring into existence, prehistoric life, I will say, because He takes of Himself and delegates and expresses Himself into microscopic life. You scientists who want to deal with a little cell, God, the Creator made every one of them. He did not make any one of them to live for all eternity. That little microscopic life will do certain works in the breakdown of the surface of this planet earth, and then it will be followed by another to take its place. If you can bear with me, I am going to read how we can take a look at evolution as it is going on right now in our very hour of time. It is just the fact that we have been so taken up with dollars and cents, we have not really realized what God has given us to enjoy. I remember when the average grass that the farmers related to in this part of the country was Timothy, Red Top and Bluegrass for the lawn. There are other wild grasses, but these are grasses man had domesticated for the purpose of supporting his livestock structure. Back around the late 1940's, down in the mountains of Kentucky, there was a patch of unusual green grass growing. When this spot was found, they studied the blades and structure of it, there was nothing around for miles and miles, so they called it Kentucky Fescue. How many ever heard that of it? It came from the hills of Kentucky. My point is this, There were no scientists, and there was no Johnny Appleseed's going over the mountains of Kentucky, sowing seed. The great Creator knows how to reach down into the fields of vegetation and cause certain things to throw off a gene, and then cause that gene to evolve into something that is completely different than that which it came from. It works both in the vegetative line, as well as in animal life. Every grass there is on the face of this earth today, at one time before man domesticated it, was in its wild form. Once man began to take it and do the right things, then God the Creator, who set certain genetic laws within the structure of this vegetation, caused it to evolve into something different. I am going to say this to this bunch of scientists who want to say everything started with just one cell and everything that materialized came from it, Tell me, if one cell creates one form of some kind of plant life, and this thing keeps evolving, what is there in here that motivates this to reach a point and take a right hand turn and materialize into some other kind of plant, while the main line will go on further down the road and take another turn and produce another plant? Your thinking is just plain idiotic. That is hypothetical, has no reality, and makes no sense whatsoever. I get aggravated at these educated men who will rob and take every dollar out of your pocket to cause you to come to their institution and pay a high tuition fee to learn their nonsense. They have never taught you anything that would glorify God. Well you are not going to be charged for what I am showing you: I promise you that. That is why I say there are some things God does not let them run through their school of learning, because He knows what they will make out of it. If that is the process of evolution, let me ask you this, How come, when it takes a right hand turn here and evolves, and brings off another plant life that is completely opposite, then goes on down the road and shoots off another plant life, how come this one and that one will never cross? What keeps it on its course once it has branched off? There is something that keeps it going in consistency, so that it will not reach over. This is why I can say, You will never find the Redbird and the Blue Jay mating. You will never see a Redbird on the nest of a Blue Jay, hatching her eggs. I have to say this, because this is where angelic beings come into the picture. You do not see them, and because you do not see them, it is hard to recognize what they are doing out here. God's word says, in Hebrews, that they are ministering spirits, but do not allow yourself to think they are just ministering spirits in the realm of salvation. They were here before we got here. What were they doing then? They were keeping everything on its proper course. Everything, no matter what it is, once it goes into motion, God has established a law in it. It is a genetic law designed to control its behavior, and God has set angels in charge of watching over that law. Look at plant life out in a forest, the oak, the hickory, the maple, the ash, how they all grow together in the same woods, but will they cross with one another? Not at all, because there is a genetic law that keeps kind in its kind. That is why God said, Let the earth bring forth its kind. That is the kind He resurrected and gave to Adam. In the mind of God, they have already established their identity and existence.

I want to read to you some things that go with what we have been talking about. As I said, You will hear me read about horses, because I have loved horses all my life. As I read this, if you like cats I want you to think about cats. This applies to them also. Does God need a cat to keep mice out of heaven? No. But he knew man needed a help mate, a lap pet, and we do depend upon them to keep mice out of certain places. That is one of the things cats do. Watch now, as I read here. This book deals with horses in the wild. It goes back to the old world, in the old countries. Here is a picture of some of the wild animals. This is a picture of what no doubt the horse looked like when he was resurrected and given to Adam. He was just a wild creature. Remember though, man was supposed to bring him under subjection and see that he fills the earth with his kind. Now I want to show you something else. It is true, from what I have read, when the flood came, there were only two of each species in the boat. We do not know what size they were; and we do not know what color they were. However after the flood was over and man began to multiply on the face of the earth, it is a historical fact, that in the Middle East, in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Iran and those places, the horse that is known throughout the world as the Arabian, was the first wild creature that began to be domesticated. He was tamed and man began to use him as a means of travel; and also an instrument of warfare. In fact, ancient armies that moved solely on foot were scared to death when they heard their enemy had a large cavalry of horsemen. They knew there was no way they could stand there and face the onslaught of that charging cavalry with swords and spears. In the old world, through the hundreds of years they domesticated the horse, they had developed it mainly to a more mature horse in body size, but as that horse began to be brought to the new world they branched out from there. I never realized this until I began to read these books. I want to show you the beauty. There has been no less than five outstanding breeds of beautiful horses that have been brought into this country. Here is a picture of one of the first true evolution horses. He is called the Morgan horse. I believe it was a school teacher in Pennsylvania, by the name of Justin Morgan, that owned him. He was born of Thoroughbred and Arabian background. That is his parent material, but I want to show you that the God of heaven, when He established certain genetic laws to follow the genetic flow through every animal, through every creature, even mankind, it was for a specific reason. That is why the first book of the Bible is referred to as the book of Genesis. It means the history of the genes. While it is not giving you the genetic history of the animal kingdom, it is giving you and I the genetic history of mankind; and as we see that, then we can look back and see that evolution is still at work. It tells me right here in this book that this colt was born with that parental background, Arabian and Thoroughbred, which is a race horse. However when he was born, the owner could see that it was an unusual colt. He waited to see what this colt would actually develop into in body size. As he developed to maturity in a full size horse, it became known that he had no characteristics of his mother nor his father. He was a colt of his kind. In breeders terminology he was a mutant. I looked that word up in the dictionary, an animal or plant with inheritable characteristics that differ from those of the parents. That is God. If God can cause an animal to drop a gene in the reproduction line, of reproducing its offspring, it is God who made the gene in the first place. It was God that put the characteristics in there, because the Creator Himself is wanting this animal to materialize into something by which He is glorified. As this horse materialized, it came to pass that he lived twenty eight years. Every colt he fathered produced another just like himself. He would out pull everything in his same caliber of weight. He would out run every horse ever pitted against him. The owner would work him in the woods at log pulling and also plowing in the field, then they drove him with a buggy when they needed to. He was a light weight horse, between a thousand and eleven hundred pounds. He became so well known, that because of his outstanding characteristics, men from far and near brought outstanding mares because they wanted a colt from him. That is why there are three Morgan offsprings standing. They have certain characteristics about them, but it would bore you if I told you all about it. If you love horses it is different. I just have to say, Thank you Lord: You gave mankind a horse he needed, in a country where he would need it most. He could have dropped that in Europe, but no, He wanted to give it to this new country that was in the process of being established. This line of horses carried the U.S. Cavalry. Today this breed of horses is known as some of the most beautiful park horses there are in the world. If you ever see a movie with small type horses pulling coaches, and they lift the front feet like this, it is because they have that Morgan instinct in them. The breeders call him a mutant, which simply means God dropped the gene and saw to it that it came out where He wanted it. Man had nothing to do with it: It was a sovereign act of God. That is the beauty of the whole thing. It was a gene strong enough to produce many more of its kind. How many of you have been in Amish country and seen the buggies going down the road? That is a trotting horse. That is known as the American Standard bred. Here he is. (In the book) It tells here what his background was. He came out of the Thoroughbred brought over from England. It tells the horses name. The breeder noticed this particular horse had a capacity to trot, which as many of you know, the average Thoroughbred is not a good trotter. He is a rough trotter. However that horse, through this colt, was the beginning of a type of horse that could trot as easy as they could walk. That is why when you go into the Amish country, they wanted that horse for their purposes. If you get behind their buggies, their horse is not walking, he is always in a trot. It could be ten miles to town, but from the time he leaves the barn lot until he gets to town, he will be trotting all the way. That is his nature. Over here is another horse. This is the Tennessee Walking horse. He too has three parental backgrounds, but the reason he is called this is because he has a certain gait, a gait that is called the running walk. The great plantation owners of the south, many years ago, out of the Standard bred, which was this one, along with another Thoroughbred, was able to catch this gait. They began to specialize in the breeding program, and this is what they call mutate, not mutant, but simply mutating. They know how to bring the genes together that are characteristic in the same type of animal, and their purpose is to breed it up, to better the quality. Out of that came one of the easiest saddle horses there is in the world, the Tennessee Walker. I have said all that to acquaint you with a form of evolution that we do not have to be afraid of, and really, all of this has taken place in just two hundred years of time. Now I ask you, Should we look at evolution as something to get up and run from? No. When you know what is behind evolution it is a beautiful thing. The world wants to put some scientist behind it and he is trying to tell you it all blew in out of nothing. No saints, God was the architect of all evolution. That is why I say, somewhere in eons of time past, as life started on this, and this planet earth began to cool down, moving into its different stages, life was very slow coming into existence, because as the earth became more climatized, and conditions became evident that it could support this and that, let us stop and try to visualize this, and ask ourselves the question, How did soil get here? First let me say, When you go to Illinois, and travel through that black loam country, do not think that soil was there when this planet was red hot, crackling and sizzling. It was not. Then go on into the plains and see the sandy soil there, or whatever they have wherever you go in this world, and know for sure, it has not always been like that. Here is how we have to look at it: While this earth was hot, moving from time to time, cooling down, volcanoes were belching. I would say the earth was almost like a big pot of cheese boiling. (I use that as a point of illustration.) DID YOU KNOW THAT MUCH OF THE SOIL WE HAVE TODAY, AT ONE TIME, CAME OUT OF THE BOWELS OF A VOLCANO? That was the origin of it. That is why I mentioned Pompeii. That was a metropolitan city years ago, but when that volcano, miles away on that mountain peak, began to belch, and that molten lava came rolling down, it blew dust as it settled into the valleys below. It filled those valleys and covered the towns and villages under a brand new layer of earth. No man ever tried to dig them out until the 19th or 20th centuries. It tells how deep they had to go to get down to the ground level of the old city Pompeii. Look what happened in South America, in Honduras. Look what happened in the Philippines five years ago. Clark Air Force base, a military base we had there since the Spanish American War, was covered with that ash. When that volcano erupted, out came ash that not only covered Clark Air Force base with two feet, and crushed every hanger roof, it covered towns and villages and drove thousands of people out of their homes. It left them a brand new layer of soil. Not the way you look at soil, but it was a brand new substance. That substance is not to be laughed at. Here about twelve years ago, our attention was turned to Mt. St. Helen. When that blew, people miles away thought the end of the world had come. The heavens got black. As that blast flattened that giant forest, broke it up and flattened everything, it buried the mountain sides in ash, I have forgotten how deep it was. Today, the seed of those trees are growing in the midst of that ash. When Mt. St. Helen blew that dust and carried it eastward, the people that were east of there that had wheat fields, God give them a new coat of fertilizer. They said their wheat that year turned off many fold more than they had any reason to expect. Well what we are saying is this, Along with the microscopic life God was bringing into existence, the earth was still going through different types of situations whereby soil was being built, so that one day, He (the Creator) could begin to bring forth plant life. God being the architect, He kept everything in perfect balance. I have to say though, God was not working by Himself. As He has created these angelic beings, He said Lucifer, you are in charge. You are the master ruler over all of this. He said to all the other angels, Listen to what he says: You are all invested with a certain amount of authority and power to perform certain functions, but Lucifer is in charge. Here is what I want, and this is the way is has to be. I realize if an atheist was to read this, he would say, That man is a crackpot. That is the way they prefer to think about people like me. That is because we do not have a degree a mile long like they do. To them, without that degree, you are nothing worth listening to. Well saints, we are among those that will judge that gang; and it will be done at the great white throne judgment. They have had their day and missed it. To my Brothers and Sisters I would say, This planet went through long years of time (if time were measured then) in slow progression. There is no doubt in my mind, that as God brought the water into the picture it served a very strategic purpose in the overall plan God was working out. With this in mind, there were times He had certain types of marine life growing where the water was. Maybe that would stay that way and water would stay in those regions for eons of time, then all of a sudden a terrible earthquake would hit the planet and up would come a mountain range. The water would flow into a new area, leaving where it had been. Back and forth through eons of time, this process continued. That is exactly why today, high in the Rocky Mountains, in certain ledges, you can chisel and dig, and find the remains of fossilized sea shells, even fish carcases. I know there never was an ocean that high up. I do not want any religionists telling me that was all left there from the flood of Noah's day. It was not from the flood. It was from that prehistoric era as God was slowly making the planet into a fruitful place where life that He was going to bring forth would have everything it needed. With the angelic family overseeing it, everything would progressively grow and evolve to reach His ultimate projection. As conditions throughout the planet began to become more adapted they left certain evidences. As you travel through the western country you notice on rock ledges, there is a little bush hanging up there, many times all alone. Did you ever wonder how it got there? I am not as much interested in how it got there, as I am interested in how it stays there and grows, right through the hot dry weather. It just wraps its roots around that rock and hangs there. Birds will come along and light in it. It is a resting place for little birds. Every once in awhile it gives off a seed and the little bird will take that and go drop it somewhere else. Then you see more bushes clinging to the sides of rocks, high up. All these could be indicators that this is how God began to formulate plant life in the various stages of what it was eventually to evolve into. We notice most of that type of bush has a characteristic of the pine, like the evergreen. With this in mind, somewhere in the process of time, this creature (the man-like creature) began to evolve, and I can say this, You can go any way you like trying to illustrate how we sprang from it, that so-called man was not related to us, or we are not related to him: He was just another creature, a part of the animal kingdom God put here to test His angelic family with. I believe as we look at this, that this planet earth knew nothing but harmony among these angelic beings as they moved to assist the Creator in executing and fulfilling His great plan.
