Geometry: God Taught Adam About The Universe: His Sons Corrupted This Sacred Knowledge

Geometry: God Taught Adam About The Universe: His Sons Corrupted This Sacred Knowledge  

A Seven Part Sermon on How What We Know Today Has Degraded From The Original Pt. 5

By Kelly Durant

 

John 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.

Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,

 

2. Plato made a statement that “geometry will draw the soul towards truth, and create the spirit of philosophy.”  To comprehend this in context you and I must remember that the Greeks pursued all subjects, such as mathematics, out of intellectual curiosity with a desire for pure thought. Beautiful shapes invoke peacefulness; and beauty and truth go together according to the Greeks, but the factor is Satan can fool us by deceptive beauty and vanity!

 

I would say today not many souls are won over for God’s side through geometry, but some are, and we should explore all things that God made and that includes geometrical shapes. I personally find nature’s basic shapes fascinating! I have had  friends that confirm they acquired faith over mathematical constants and were awestruck by the numbers that prove God is infinitely beyond our capabilities!

 

So what is in a shape? Can a certain shape affect you spiritually? I think it can! For example a ring used as a sign of eternalness, which couples put on when getting married. Another shape many Christians would recognize is a triangle as representative of our triune God, of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. In other words, a shape in our mind is matched with a memory of what it is connected to.

 

3. However, those involved in the occult equate the triangle with the worship of Satan, homosexuality, and an unholy trinity. You may question, what is the unholy trinity? It is always Satan imitating and stealing the things of God in order to confuse and mock the things of God. Usually, it is inverted or upside down as well. Revelation 16:13

And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

 

Three in general is sacred and most all things combine with three. For example, for anything to exist it must as any material object be connected to a time and 3D space dimension, or 3 factors for the conditions of an existence.  A geometric shape must have height, length, and width.  

 

The perfectly shaped creations of God have been known since the time of Adam and later after the flood these shapes were studied and recorded by mathematicians who believed in God. We can see God in ever shape created if we look! In electricity he created the positive, the negative, and the neutral, the same as the 3 types of substances as in the atom which aligns in geometrical shapes. 

 

4. Here is a reference to the early use of geometry, but also factor in that several cities were built before the time of the flood of Noah, and conclusively even Noah himself had to use precise calculations in the dimensional construction of the ark. Noah needed geometry and Adam, being alive then, may have taught him as God had taught him. Some believe Enoch was the teacher of high level sciences, but either way, geometry knowledge has always existed.

 

‘The earliest recorded beginnings of geometry can be traced to ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt in the 2nd millennium BC.[8][9] Early geometry was a collection of empirically discovered principles concerning lengths, angles, areas, and volumes, which were developed to meet some practical need in surveyingconstructionastronomy, and various crafts’. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometry#Euclidean_geometry

 

Geometry is very important! We need it to calculate how to build houses, how to engineer any common machine, and how to build almost anything! God in His creation of all things granted this geometrical knowledge to us, and it is not a secret science that needs to be taught by secret societies.  Today Euclid geometry and other branches of it are so advanced it takes a real skill and study to master.

 

5. And what about God’s beautiful geometrical patterns in nature? Leaves, snowflakes, seashells, and so many things reveal the perfection of God in shapes that are repeating algorithms, Mandelbrot sets, yet no one is the same. 

 

I had a German Christian friend in Bolivia back when my wife and I first married, and she told me that what made her convert from being an atheist to being a believer was observing God’s beautiful patterns and perfection in nature. (Romans 1 speaks about how creation reveals the glory of God)

 

You could conclude she was touched by Romans 1:20 as it states that we can see God in all his created nature and none of us are with any excuse to deny Him. God is not seen with our eyes but our eyes can see the evidence of his complex creations everywhere! And all things coexist in nature in a symbiotic relationship; now that is intelligent design!

 

6. In John 1 we see the word (a sound wave) was the very first creation of God. Cymatics is the study of sound’s effect on shapes. It is His word (through Jesus) that convicts us, that converts us, and takes effect to reshape our heart, mind, and attitudes and His word vibrations fill us with light and love.

 

Another curiosity is how sound affects shapes, either physical objects or life. There are whole sciences on this subject. For example, if a person speaks kind words to plants, they thrive and grow, but if you speak angry and ugly words to them, they stagnate and may even die! Every word has a geometrical sound shape. Here is an article on how sound affects life https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S209531191360492X

 

All of God’s creation is interconnected, the light and sound waves (visible and invisible) everywhere intertwine with matter to create the states of solids, liquids, and gases we are familiar with. God’s geometry is a complex quantum of matter and forces, and as a designer, he is light years beyond our comprehension!

 

7. So, if you want to be healthy, spiritually and physically, what do you need to do? Immerse yourself in Jesus words! Allow the sounds, concepts, and consistent word of God reshape everything inside you. We grow up learning so many wrong and twisted things and it takes years of study, and a daily reading, to untangle all the false paradigms in our misconstrued so-called reality from dubious sources. 

 

Don’t let Satan and his occult representatives own anything! The evil ones always want to own all the shapes! Shapes today are equated with sexual activity, racism, & Satanism. But all shapes belong to God! All things are good in his creation so always highlight this fact. Here are some examples of how Satan wants to own things: The triangle that contains the all seeing eye of Horus (sun worship); the square or cube represents the worship of Saturn (fallen angels and/ or Satan; the pentagram as the devil’s star is used to conjuring up dark powers; the six pointed star, as in the star of David can be symbolic of man (the number 6) or symbolic of the unholy union of the above meshed with the forces below, an abominable false (never occurring) union as God’s holiness will never cross and intersect to compromise with the unholy. Satan uses all kinds of geometric symbols!

 

Thank God that Satan has not appropriated God’s Spirit of seven, but it is often equated with luck (Lucifer’s blessing but he prefers 6s); And eight also accompanies Satan as in the 8 sided temples of ancient and modern Satanic pantheon worship; Nine is always considered as sacred and mysterious in it are some supposed powers which occultists employ. Take into account that occultist depend on crystals and geometrical shapes to channel their spirits and powers and all of this is an attempt to own, misuse, and destroy everything about God’s intended beautiful creation!  The Jewish priest’s wore 12 crystals in a breastplate, so don’t thing Satan own everything or anything!    

 

8. One of the first geographical markers built was the pyramid, a very solid mysterious shape that has multiple symbolisms; some of which are of hierarchy, some of celestial movements, and some of the manipulation of natural forces. 

 

Consider this verse referring to ancient landmarks Deuteronomy 19:14

“You shall not remove your neighbor’s landmark, which the men of old have set, in your inheritance which you will inherit in the land that the Lord your God is giving you to possess.

 

We cannot escape the shapes God has granted to man, they are everywhere. There are diamond rings on fingers, square classrooms, sphere balls for sports, all geometric shapes in our dimension point to God who first established them. We must see all objects through that lens, that God devised the formulas for all the shapes so we could make calculations and triangulation with materials useful for our existence. What an amazing order out of chaos!

 

9. A finally it is the shape of the cross that God has given to us as a reminder that Jesus crossed over into our realm but when He did He had to pay for our sins and die in a horrible way. As people, we live finite lives, from point a to point b. But God intersected Himself from above to us here below and connected a crossroad of redemption to any and all who will accept it.

 

In many countries the shape of the cross is prohibited because it is a reminder of Jesus whom they reject, but for us, the bare cross implies we owe everything to Jesus as He gave Himself for us and then resurrected to offer us eternal life! 

 

God is manifested in all shapes, and we must not let Satan own any of them! Always take into account how God reveals Himself in everything and no one is excused from not being aware of Him! Live for Him and your life will take on a beautiful shape, the unique creation God wants, and His works always turn out beautiful!

Presumptuous Relations

Presumptuous Relations                                                    By Kelly Durant 9-24-11

Mark 10:36-41. 36 And He said to them, “What do you want Me to do for you?” 37 They said to Him, “Grant us that we may sit, one on Your right hand and the other on Your left, in Your glory.” 38 But Jesus said to them, “You do not know what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?” 39 They said to Him, “We are able.” So Jesus said to them, “You will indeed drink the cup that I drink, and with the baptism I am baptized with you will be baptized; 40 but to sit on My right hand and on My left is not Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it is prepared.” 41 And when the ten heard it, they began to be greatly displeased with James and John.

A Christian friend told me about a visit one time to a homeless shelter and a person there was being belligerent and imposing asking everyone there, “Hey who is the king?”, “I am”! He was annoying everyone trying be act cool and dominate the group by asking, “Who is the king?” Until he got to this Christian brother who saw that his pride needed to get clipped like you clip a birds wings and when he came to ask him, Hey, who’s the king?” He responded, “It doesn’t matter who the king is, what matters is who is the King of kings”! I want you to meet Him!

Dealing with people often times is like being a snake charmer. You have seen the snake charmers from India who play their flute and make the snake dance out of the basket. The problem gets serious though if suddenly the flute player needs to cough and the music stops. What happens? The snake that once seemed so happy moving to the music of the master suddenly reverts to his evil nature and strikes out at the master to bite him and kill him!

Working with people can easily be compared to the job of the snake charmer! Sometimes it seems like everyone is happy, and you are happy and a lot is getting done for the kingdom of God, and then suddenly someone makes a human mistake, and then the flow of work & music gets interrupted and then the fangs come out! Most people are not even aware of their own vicious nature when things do not go as they want them too!  People do not even perceive their own pride nor see with God’s spirit when they talk bad about others with unkind words.

Today in the scripture we see what typically goes on in any group setting, there is always a few who want to get in good with the boss so that the boss will do extra favors for them.

Here James and John, two disciples that usually are spiritual, that usually behave well, get out of control in their ambition. They are just like anyone of you or me, anyone of us can normally be in tune with God but once in a while we can be very out-of-tune! They are dedicated to Jesus, and they are proud of that fact, just as Peter was proud when he boasted that he would even die for Jesus if he had to but then he went on to deny him 3 times. Pride comes before a fall!

So what has happened here? These two disciples out of their pride and ambitious thinking were being very disrespectful to Jesus authority by their desires for having other recognize they were better than them. Here is the whole matter with people at times:

When things are going how you or I want them to be in the Corps church, when it seems the points are in your favor, then you everyone is happy. But when someone says something without thinking, then anger and hurt feelings can go around.  Who is the blame for the hurt feelings? It may not be the blame of the other person but from your own self!  

Like it or not each one of us have to get use to getting humiliated and corrected at times just as James and John did. We don’t know what God is doing in His plan within His work, and His big picture is more important than our ways. 

41 And when the ten heard it, they began to be greatly displeased with James and John. 42 But Jesus called them to Himself and said to them, “You know that those who are considered rulers over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. 43 Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant. 44 And whoever of you desires to be first shall be slave of all. 45 For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”

Here James and John got a rebuke, a correction.  Do people when they get a rebuke really appreciate it?  Most people get angry that I know. But if a person is discipleship material like James and John, if they are a true Christian, then they will feel bad, maybe angry, maybe embarrassed, but you, or this person, will survive the uncomfortable-ness of the  correction and of the peer group and just keep on going for God!

Jesus made it clear he does not want us to have the mind of the people of the world that in a natural order sets up a hierarchy of the pecking order. In prisons, in our communities with gangs, in schools and in businesses, and yes sad to say, even in churches people naturally fall into a hierarchy of who is more important. Usually the most aggressive put their selves on top, but Jesus showed us a better way. To be a servant one to another! In other words, it is true the aggressive succeed but the aggressive to serve others and do God’s work. He that would be simple like a child. Again we keep reading.    

Lk 9:46-28  “Then a dispute arose among them as to which of them would be greatest. 47 And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a little child and set him by Him, 48 and said to them, “Whoever receives this little child in My name receives Me; and whoever receives Me receives Him who sent Me. For he who is least among you all will be great.”

I personally don’t like over aggressive imposing people, people who want to make their selves out to be better than anyone else, and I think most of us feel the same.  It is the game of politics that we all are tired of.  Just like the disciples were angry with James and John, wanting to get special treatment, it is natural also for us to want equality, justice, fairness and the same rewards for all that do things worthy of getting rewards.

Jesus is saying this, okay, you want to be on top, then sacrifice the most! Be a slave to others! Be the least of your brethren! Give your life in sacrifice to a cruel death! (the baptism he was refereeing to) Be like a child! “Be the least among you all and you will be great.”

Greatness only comes from being a servant and being willing to do anything for God’s service, no matter how humiliating or degrading it may be! It is sad many people flunk the tests of God to sacrifice more, to give all of their lives, to humiliate their selves, and instead they criticize and attack back those guiding them down that path!

Also, these same verses of study today are repeated in Matt. 20:20-22 But they have even more a twist to the story, listen to this… Be careful of the people who tell you to be great. 

20 Then the mother of Zebedee’s sons came to Him with her sons, kneeling down and asking something from Him. 21 And He said to her, “What do you wish?” She said to Him, “Grant that these two sons of mine may sit, one on Your right hand and the other on the left, in Your kingdom.” 22 But Jesus answered and said, “You do not know what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?”

So now we see even more of the story, it was not just James and John that were ambitious of being the most praised, the most exalted within the group of disciples, it was their mother behind them influencing them! I want to warn each of you, that you need great discernment when you do God’s work! 

I know there are many men and women, and youth, that have other voices of influence in their lives in their homes that tell them, “Don’t let the Captain make you serve food, you are better than that! Don’t do anything unless he makes you leader of the group!” The Salvation Army’s got money, make them pay you! 

The problem I have with serving Jesus quite often is that you can see through people’s hearts, their influences, and their motives! It is the discernment of the Holy Spirit and it also is that I, like all of you here, have been through the school of hard knocks of getting humiliated in front of the group as James or John, but I have learned, humbled myself, moved on and grown spiritually! I recognize proud people because I too was once proud as most all of us have been!

Sometimes we wonder amongst ourselves, what happened to this or that person, we needed them for an important meeting and they did not show up! Sometimes people don’t show up because they don’t want to have to do any sacrifice, but that is failing God!

God sees it all and the whole group sees it all and I am surprised quite often some people have no shame that they are absent when we need them. They are not failing the Captains but failing the whole group of people in the church, failing God’s work, and out of pride not willing to be a nobody!

If you think any task around the church is too humiliating than just think about this, Jesus touched lepers many many times, Jesus escaped almost being killed a few times, Jesus suffered embarrassment from his disciples who failed or were offensive, but did He tell God that it was enough already? Did He say, okay, “Beam me up Scotty?” I am out of here! You can forget all these proud ugly humans and put me back on my throne where I use to be! 

No! Jesus served ‘til the very end and so much so that He was willing to die in a horrible way to show His love for us! After becoming a Christian, any one of us should think, wow, if Jesus suffered that much, then nothing that happens to me is really that bad at all! No matter how humiliating or dirty the job, I will do it for Jesus because He did more for me than what I can ever do for Him!

In the verse 39 Jesus says, “Okay, it is true you will be baptized of my baptism”, which meant that James and John would die serving Him, but even though they went on to die for God, even though Jesus knew this before it happened, He still insisted that they do not out of pride ask for a special reward of recognition! They have a special place in heaven! Imagine, all the angels, all the billions that have ever lived know the names of the disciples! They are famous forever with crowns of glory.

Do you want to be like them, honored by God and honored by others? Then never be ambitious for nothing! Never do the mistake of James & John to think that you deserve more, that you need a special status.  Just be as the verse says  in  Luke 17:10

So likewise, ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.    Prayer…
