Outline of the notes used for the podcast:
Hebrews 11:3 By faith we understand that the worlds
[during the successive ages] were framed (fashioned, put in order, and equipped
for their intended purpose) by the word of God, so that what we see was not
made out of things which are visible.
Genesis 2:4 This is the history of the heavens and of
the earth when they were created. In the day that the Lord God made the earth
and the heavens--5 When no plant of the field was yet in the earth and no herb
of the field had yet sprung up, for the Lord God had not [yet] caused it to
rain upon the earth and there was no man to till the ground, 6 But there went
up a mist (fog, vapor) from the land and watered the whole surface of the
ground--7 Then the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed
into his nostrils the breath or spirit of life, and man became a living being.
8 And the Lord God planted a garden toward the east, in Eden
The Framing begins:
Genesis 1:1 IN THE beginning God (prepared, formed,
fashioned, and) created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form
and an empty waste, and darkness was upon the face of the very great deep. The
Spirit of God was moving (hovering, brooding) over the face of the waters. 3
And God said, Let there be light; and there was light. 4 And God saw that the
light was good (suitable, pleasant) and He approved it; and God separated the
light from the darkness
Genesis 1:26 God said, Let Us [Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit] make mankind in Our image, after Our likeness, and let them have
complete authority over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the [tame]
beasts, and over all of the earth, and over everything that creeps upon the
earth. 27 So God created man in His own image, in the image and likeness of God
He created him; male and female He created them. 28 And God blessed them and
said to them, Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it [using all
its vast resources in the service of God and man]; and have dominion over the
fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and over every living creature that
moves upon the earth. 31 And God saw
everything that He had made, and behold, it was very good (suitable, pleasant)
and He approved it completely. And there was evening and there was morning, a
sixth day.
The Framing continues down through today:
Hebrews 1:1 IN MANY separate revelations [each of
which set forth a portion of the Truth] and in different ways God spoke of old
to [our] forefathers in and by the prophets, 2 [But] in the last of these
days He has spoken to us in [the person of a] Son, Whom He appointed Heir and
lawful Owner of all things, also by and through Whom He created the worlds and
the reaches of space and the ages of time [He made, produced, built, operated,
and arranged them in order].
Hebrews 11:1 NOW FAITH is the assurance (the
confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of
things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as
real fact what is not revealed to the senses]. 2 For by [faith--trust and holy
fervor born of faith] the men of old had divine testimony borne to them and
obtained a good report. 3 By faith we understand that the worlds [during the
successive ages] were framed (fashioned, put in order, and equipped for their
intended purpose) by the word of God, so that what we see was not made out of
things which are visible.
John 10:38 But if I do them, even though you do not
believe Me or have faith in Me, [at least] believe the works and have faith in
what I do, in order that you may know and understand [clearly] that the Father
is in Me, and I am in the Father [One with Him].
The Framework of three must agree:
1 John 5:7 So there are three witnesses in heaven:
the Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit, and these three are One;
1 John 5:8 and there are three witnesses on the
earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree [are in
unison; their testimony coincides].
1 Thessalonians 5:23 And may the God of peace Himself
sanctify you through and through [separate you from profane things, make you
pure and wholly consecrated to God]; and may your spirit and soul and body
be preserved sound and complete [and found] blameless at the coming of our Lord
Jesus Christ (the Messiah). 24 Faithful is He Who is calling you [to Himself]
and utterly trustworthy, and He will also do it [fulfill His call by hallowing
and keeping you].
The Creative Force being planted, and worked out in
the process of the Framework of Agreement:
Luke 1:26 Now in the sixth month [after that], the
angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town of Galilee named Nazareth, 27 To a
girl never having been married and a virgin engaged to be married to a man
whose name was Joseph, a descendant of the house of David; and the virgin's
name was Mary. 28 And he came to her and said, Hail, O favored one [endued
with grace]! The Lord is with you! Blessed (favored of God) are you before all
other women! 29 But when she saw him, she was greatly troubled and
disturbed and confused at what he said and kept revolving in her mind what such
a greeting might mean. 30 And the angel said to her, Do not be afraid, Mary,
for you have found grace (free, spontaneous, absolute favor and
loving-kindness) with God. 31 And listen! You will become pregnant and will
give birth to a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus. 32 He will be great
(eminent) and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will
give to Him the throne of His forefather David, 33 And He will reign over the
house of Jacob throughout the ages; and of His reign there will be no end. 34
And Mary said to the angel, How can this be, since I have no [intimacy with any
man as a] husband? 35 Then the angel said to her, The Holy Spirit will come
upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you [like a shining
cloud]; and so the holy (pure, sinless) Thing (Offspring) which shall be born
of you will be called the Son of God.
Ø KEY: (Spirit - Soul - Body) The Three must agree for the word to fully be!
Genesis
1:1 IN THE beginning God (prepared, formed, fashioned, and) created the heavens
and the earth.
2
The earth was without form and an empty waste, and darkness was upon the face
of the very great deep.
The
Spirit of God was moving (hovering, brooding) over the face of the waters.
Luke 1:36 And listen! Your relative Elizabeth Judah , 40 And she
went to the house of Zachariah and, entering it, saluted Elizabeth Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby leaped in her
womb, and Elizabeth
The Heavenly Framework walked out on the earth:
Job 13:3 Surely I wish
to speak to the Almighty, and I desire to argue and reason my case with God
[that He may explain the conflict between what I believe of Him and what I see
of Him].
(Struggle to "frame up" within the Spirit-soul-body)
2 Corinthians 5:7 For we walk by faith [we regulate
our lives and conduct ourselves by our conviction or belief respecting man's
relationship to God and divine things, with trust and holy fervor; thus we
walk] not by sight or appearance.
Luke 1:37 For with God nothing is ever impossible and
no word from God shall be without power or impossible of fulfillment. 45 And blessed (happy, to be envied) is she
who believed that there would be a fulfillment of the things that were spoken
to her from the Lord.
