We’ve been teaching on *the Blood and the Glory*.
And this is part 3 to our series.
*I) **Last time* we talked quite a bit about *creation*.
*A) *In (*Genesis 1:1*) it says, *“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”*
And in (*verse 2*) it says, *“And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.”*
*1) **In verse 2*, it *says* that th*e earth was void and without form* *but in Isaiah* (Isaiah 45:18) *it says* that *the Lord did not created the earth in vain*.
*(a) *The Word *VAIN* means, *“formlessness*, *confusion*, *emptiness*, *chaos*, *and waste.”*
*2) **God did not create* the *earth* a *formlessness* *wasteland*, but as *Isaiah also said*, *he created the earth to be inhabited*.
*(a) *(*Psalms 111:3*) *tells us* that G*od’s work is glorious*, meaning, it’s *filled with* His *glory*.
*B) *But *something happened*, something catastrophic, that *caused* the *earth* to *fall into* a *total* *wasteland* or as the Bible puts it *void and without form*.
*1) *In (*Jeremiah 4: 23*) it says that the *earth had no light*.
*(a) **The earth fell into total darkness*.
*(b) *In (*Isaiah 14*) it *tells us* that *Satan rebelled against God* *and* because of that Satan *was cast down to the ground* to the earth.
*(i) **Jesus said* in (*Luke 10:18*), *“I beheld Satan as lightning falling from heaven.”*
*2) **At that point* from the *earth* beca*me void and without form* and darkness was upon the face of the deep.
*II) *Although it may have been *millions of years between verse one and verse 2*, we begin seeing a *dramatic contrast* *between God’s glorious perfection of his creation* *and the darkness*, which was *upon* the *earth*.
*A) **I wonder what all of the heavenly host thought about that one dark spot *in all of God’s creation.
*1) *Turn to *Genesis 1:2*.
*(a) **I wonder what the Angels in heaven* *began to say now*.
*Maybe* it was, *“There’s something going on there.
God is beginning to move*.
*The Holy Spirit is moving upon that dark spot.”*
*2) **They all heard God’s 1st words* *and* *watched its fulfillment*.
*(a) **Genesis 1:3*.
*(i) **God wasn’t commanding the Son and the moon to come into existence.*
*That didn’t happen until the 4th day* starting in verse 14.
*(b) **God was talking about the light of Himself*.
*(i) **God was returning to bring light and life to the earth*.
*God removed his presence from the earth*, *but now he was going to begin to work there again*.
*B) **God’s work was divided into divisions*, *which He cal*led: the *1st day*, the *2nd day*, the 3rd day, the 4th day, the 5th day.
*1) **And then the 6th day*.
*The day that was most astonishing of all* *especially to the Angels*.
*2) **God made a declaration that rocked all of creation* and probably thunder from one corner of the galaxy to the other.
*(a) **From that point*, *the Bible begins to take up a completely new tone*.
So let’s read it.
*C) **Genesis 1:26*.
*1) **I imagine the Angels in heaven began to say* *one to another*, *“What is man?”* “What is man?” “What is man?”
*(a) **This was something that had never existed*.
*2) **One angel even dared to ask the Creator.*
*(a) **We know that it’s an angel* *because the same verse is brought up again in Hebrews* chapter *2* starting in verse *5*.
*(b) **But the Old Testament reference* is *much more complete* so let’s read that.
*3) **Psalms 8:3-6*.
*(a) **This angel had just watched God’s creation* *and the creation of man*.
So, *he began to complement the Creator*.
*(i) *He said in *verse 3*.
(read)
*4) *But *then he asked the big question*, *“What is man, that thou art mindful of him?*
*And the Son of man*, *that Thou visitest Him?* *For Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels.”*
*(a) *The word *“ANGELS”* is *not correctly translated*.
The *Hebrew word* is *“ELOHIM.”*
*Elohim* is the *plural* word *for God*, *meaning* *God the Father*, God *the Son*, *and* God the *Holy Spirit.*
*D) **From eternity past*, the *Angels only knew the order of the triune Godhead*, *and the heavenly ho*st.
*1) **Now* there is a *new order in creation*.
*Man is ranked just under the Godhead.*
*2) **But the word also goes on to say*, *that God* *“HAS CROWN HIM.”*
*(a) **God himself arose and crown His man*.
*3) **What was his crown made of?*
Of *diamonds*?
Of *gold*?
*(a) **No*.
God paves streets with gold.
*(b) **The crown was made of the most valuable substance in all of creation.*
*4) **Psalms 8:5*.
*(a) **The crown was made of glory*.
*God’s glory*.
*(b) **The glory of God* *is God’s presence manifested*.
*(i) **God’s glory sat upon man as his crown* *and* *clothed him as his covering*.
*III) *And *God’s Word had gone forth* *that man should have dominion over all the works of God’s hand*.
*A) **But Satan challenged it*.
*If he could stop God’s Word from coming to pass,* *he could defeat G*od.
*1) **He tempted man with sin* *and* *man yielded to that temptation.*
*2) **Some of the saddest words* in the Bible *are found in* *Genesis 3:8-10*.
(Let’s read it)
*B) *(*Romans 3:23*) says, *“For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.”*
*1) **That’s what happened in the fall*.
*Man was crown with glory*.
*Man sinned* *and fell short of the glory*.
*(a) **Man fell from the state of glory* that he *once walked in*.
*2) **Hebrews 2:10*.
*(a) **You can word like this*, *“But the Captain of your salvation is bringing many sons to glory.”*
*(b) **And there’s the* *CIRCLE OF GLORY*.
*(i) **Man was crown with glory*.
*He fell from the glory*.
*But through Jesus Christ*, *he can return to the glory.*
*C) **When man fell* *God wanted to reach out and holds man like a tender loving father*, *but it was consumed him*.
*1) *(*Hebrews 12:29*) *says*, *“For our God is a consuming fire.”*
*(a) **It wasn’t that God didn’t want mankind in His presence*.
*It was that man could not endure the glory of God*.
*It now would destroy him*.
*(b) **Remember* *when David brought the Ark of his Presence* *on a cart* *and Uzzah reach out to steady the Ark*, *and he died*.
*(i) **He was consumed by the glory of God*.
*2) **In the Old Testament* *God’s glory stayed behind a thick curtain* *in the Holy of Holies*.
*The High Priest alone* *could enter their once a year* *on the Day of Atonement*.
*And then only with great precautions.*
*IV) **But God had a plan*.
*The New Testament calls God’s plan a MYSTERY.*
*A) *There are *numerous references* to the *mystery of the Church*.
*1) **God concealed His plan for the Church throughout the Old Testament*.
*(a) *There were *prophecies about it*, but they *didn’t know what to these prophecies meant*.
Even the *writers of the go*spels *did not grasp* *the meaning* of the mystery.
