One, Two, Three Worlds in One: The Third Time Is The Charm

The original title was "The Two Worlds of Genesis 1:2 and the Shiva Sabbath: Because of Jesus It is Over -- We Can Go In Now."

It is ubiquitous in the Bible that the latter/younger is preferred. The younger always supplants the former/elder; e.g., the world that is superseded the world that was, day was chosen over night, Abel preferred to Cain, Seth's Noah succeeds the corrupt, Jacob supplanted Esau - etc., etc., ad infinitum.

Shiva comes in from an interesting near-death-experience story I heard. A dying child saw Jesus. Cool. Then, she saw Shiva. Say what? Why? She knew NOTHING of Hinduism. I suppose it was because Shiva illustrates the destruction of the present for the building of the future; for what is is in the way and has to be destroyed. I.e., it is an ongoing process: transition takes time: the destined comes through the change of the present "now." Duh.

The thing is, all of this is going on in one world. Just one, all right here and right now. The one world was created "for Him and by Him" (Genesis 1:2a Alexander, emphasis mine). Create as a word means to imagine. What God imagines becomes. The imagined, "created" world in Genesis 1:1 was the Ineffable's intention, the end. It is an earth wherein righteousness dwells - the Paradise - the Manifestation of the Ineffable Itself. But God (the Ineffable's consciousness) had a fault (gasp!):

"And the darkness over the face of infinite space" (Genesis 1:2b Alexander). This dark world was the first world (the original, intended world is the third - the third time is the charm). God's fault is the ignorance of some parts of It. Specifically, us. Not all of God knows what It is. I get this from Neville Goddard's lecture "Unless I Go Away." This present delusional world is the second, the Sabbath wherein God works out Its fault, bridging the chaotic first and perfect third worlds:

"And the Spirit of God was over the layers of the water" (Genesis 1:2c Alexander) The promise is that the darkened first world, flooded away with the present literal-historical delusion, would ultimately be displaced, burned away by the intended Paradise:

"After John was betrayed, Jesus came to Galilee and preached the Hope of the Kingdom of God. And he said, 'The Age has ended* (lit. Ar. idiomatic figure of speech: "the season is finished," "time is up," or in other words, "the Age of the Old Testament is over."), and the Kingdom of God has arrived. Repent and believe in the Hope [of Salvation]'" (Mark 1:14-15 Alexander). I.e., believe in the reward we have all been waiting for, the Kingdom of God here and now.
