1. The Pre-Creation Void. It would be futile for Science to speculate about this ‘pre-Big Bang era’ (sic) as only the Creator is privy to this kind of information; no man can find out the works God makes from ‘BEGINNING to END’ outside of Biblical revelation:
"He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end." [Ecclesiastes3:11].
1.1 Time, Space & Matter. God first created time, space & matter as chronicled in the Hebrew Bible (‘Old Testament’): “In the beginning [TIME] God created the heavens [SPACE] and the earth [MATTER].” [Genesis1:1].
1.2 Jesus Christ the Projects Engineer. Jesus Christ was the ‘Projects Engineer’ tasked with creating the Universe and who is still upholding it by the word of His power.
"God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son [JESUS], whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high." [Hebrews1:1-3].
1.3 Jesus Christ the Author or Prince of Life. Jesus Christ is Heaven’s de facto Author of Life/Prince of Life who has (original) selfsustaining ZOE life as opposed to ordinary humans who are naturally born into (derived) 'borrowed’ BIOS life.
"For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself." [John5:26].
"But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you; And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses. [Acts3:14-15].
1.4 ZOE life vs. BIOS life. Jesus Christ has the power and stature to bestow ZOE life on born again (spiritually regenerated) believers of the Gospel. [John3:16; 5:24,26,40; 6:40,47,53,54; 8:12; 10:28; 11:25; 12:25; 17:2; 1Cor15:22,45].
1.5 The difference between 'Earthly' & 'Heavenly' bodies. There are Earthly bodies (for those who dwell on earth) and Heavenly bodies (for those who dwell, or will dwell, in Heaven). [1Cor15:40,47-49; 2Cor5:1].
1.6 The Second Coming. The Second Coming of Jesus Christ is imminent, but the exact date cannot be calculated or guessed from Scripture. [Matt24:1-51; Mark-8:38; Acts1:1-11; Rev1:7,11-14].
1.7 The Cosmos to collapse. The Cosmos as we know it will be destroyed; the Bible says that the ‘heaven will depart like a scroll when it is rolled together’; the ‘heavens being on fire will together with the elements melt away’. [2Peter3:7,12; Revelation6:14].
1.8 There is a ‘Great White Throne Judgment’ Coming. [Matt5:22; 10:15; 11:22,24; 12:36; John-5:22,27,30; 8:16; Rev14:7; 20:11-15].
1.9 Jesus Christ the Chief Justice presiding. Jesus Christ will be the Chief Justice presiding over the Great White Throne Judgment during the judgment of the nations.
”For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son.” [John-5:22].
1.10 Ashamed of Jesus Christ? Those who have suffered for Christ will sit along with Him in the Judgment of the nations and will also reign with Christ over the nations. Jesus has warned:
“Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels." [Revelation20:4; Mark8:38].
2. The Final Promise. There’s a New Heaven & New Earth coming. Jesus Christ shall feed believers & lead them unto living fountains of waters. God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. [Revelation21:1; 7:17; 21:4].
