The PREDESTINED - Part One

The PREDESTINED
The original Bible is written on Manuscripts from which all of our Bibles are translated.
Some Bibles are paraphrased. That means that the translators of that specific Bible put into their own words what they believed the Manuscripts were saying.
Other Bibles are straight out deception Bibles. The NIV Bible is a perfect example of a deception Bible. Many verses are changed or missing from the NIV Bible. Still, other Bibles translate properly in some places and are deceptive in other places. The end time is all about deception, so this comes as no surprise. Knowing these things however is of key importance.
The Authorized King James Bible is a word for word translation of GOD’S exact words. If one wishes to know exactly what GOD has spoken, this is the Bible to use. There is a problem, however, that we have to be aware of when using this Bible. The translators did not have all of the words needed to make the translation as clear as it should be at the time the translation was created. For example, the word “fear” in one verse may mean reverence, whereas in another verse, it may mean “tremble or be afraid”. There are many other words that have similar issues.
As time went on, and more words became available in the English language, it became possible to make it easier to understand the KJV translation. Dr. James Strong created a concordance that lists every word of the Authorized King James Bible and assigned definition numbers to each word. It is now possible to reference every word that GOD spoke back to its original Manuscript meaning using the Strong’s Concordance and the Authorized King James Bible.
Using the KJV and the Strong’s Concordance, it is impossible to be deceived by the end time deceptions that have plagued us for so long.
When a word from the KJV is referenced with a capital “G” and a number next to the word, the corresponding definition is from the Greek Manuscript. When a word is referenced with an “H” and a reference number, that definition is from the Hebrew Manuscript.
Using these tools, we can know the exact word and meaning that GOD spoke in the Authorized King James Bible. Below, is an analysis of Ephesians chapter one, verses 3 through 12 using the Authorized King James Bible and the Strong’s Concordance to show the actual definitions of the words from the original Manuscript where appropriate. While this is an exercise in the importance of knowing GOD’S exact words, the greater importance is on the message of what GOD is telling us in these verses.
Ephesians 1:3 Blessed G2128 be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed G2127 us with all spiritual G4152 blessings G2129 in G1722 heavenly G2032 places in G1722 Christ:

Ephesians 1:4 According as G2531 he hath chosen G1586 us in him before the foundation G2602 of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
G2531

[
Note:
Notice the colon in verse Ephesians 1:3 at the end. This means the list of evidence of what FATHER did as showing his words towards us has substance follows into verse Ephesians 1:4.
So, upto this point we see that FATHER has spoken very good words towards us and HE has backed up those words by choosing (selecting) us before this world had started. But take note of that word, “chosen”. You will find out later that it means “election”, or should I say that “election” means chosen. And what we will find out later in these verses is why FATHER has said those good words towards us.
Also, take note that we were chosen before the foundation of this world, but that there is a deeper meaning to that. Notice that the root word of “the foundation” means to throw down. We will find out later that before the foundation of this world, something else was thrown down before the current foundation was put in place, but that is for another study.

Ephesians 1:5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
[
Note:
Continuing after yet another colon at the end of verse Ephesians 1:4, we see that FATHER continues with stating that HE has predestined us. That means we have a destiny, and that this destiny was determined before we were ever here on this earth in flesh. And it was due to HIS desire to predestine us to come to CHRIST by HIS pleasure, and this has a lot to do with why HE was speaking those good words towards us back in verse Ephesians 1:3. But there is much more to this destiny than what is written here as we will see in a later set of verses that we cover. We have a purpose, a job to do, but we will come to that in good time.

Ephesians 1:6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
Ephesians 1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
[
Note:
FATHER loves us and HE has reasons for what HE is doing. We will find out what those reasons are later, but as verses, Ephesians 1:6 and 1:7 show, HE is redeeming us back to HIM.
]
Ephesians 1:8 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
Ephesians 1:9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
[
Note:
This wisdom and prudence that we have is eyes to see and ears to hear. It means we have understanding of “The Mysteries of The Kingdom Of GOD”. We will find out more details of what these mysteries are about as time goes on, but for now the key thing to notice is that what is written in these verses is written to a specific group of people that were predestined before this world began.
]
Ephesians 1:10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
[
Note:
Why do we know these mysteries? Why is it that we understand, and we have wisdom and others do not?
It’s so that when everything is finished, when all things are complete, HE might gather together in one all things in CHRIST. Whatsoever is not in CHRIST will not exist, not be here when all things are complete.
There are people that have free will and there are people that have a destiny. We are predestined because of what we did before the foundation of the world.
That is why FATHER was speaking those good words towards us. And again, predestined means we have a destiny. That destiny is why we have eyes to see and ears to hear. It also means we have a job to do and the implications of that purpose cannot be overstated.
]
Ephesians 1:11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
[
Note:
Keeping in mind that the whole discussion in these verses of Ephesians chapter one are related to what happened before the foundation of this world, and that what happened is also why FATHER was speaking those good words towards us, and we are predestined to conform to CHRIST and have eyes to see and ears to hear, and we have also obtained an inheritance.
That inheritance is incomprehensible. When the flesh part of this age is over (and it is coming quickly to its end), all the families of the earth will be given an inheritance of land. It is given by lot (which is where we get our word for city lot). Each inheritance of land will be by individual and by family according to the number of people, but GOD said not to give us (the predestined) an inheritance of land because HE is our inheritance.
I don’t necessarily believe in the big bang, but if I did, I would say that is the stuff of the big bang. I think rather, that I would say: That is the stuff of “Let there be light, and there was light”. The seriousness of it cannot be comprehended at this time.
]
Ephesians 1:12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
[
Note:
There is more to cover before we go into what this verse (Ephesians 1:12) means. But for now we can say that it is the reason that FATHER was speaking those good words towards us. It is the reason that we are predestined and have eyes to see and ears to hear. It is the reason that we have this purpose, the job that we are to do. It’s because we First trusted in CHRIST before the foundation of this world.
The details of what that means are part of the mysteries. We will get to that in good time, but before we continue tell me, do you understand what is written above and do you have any questions? Do you want to continue on into “The Mysteries Of The Kingdom Of GOD”?
]
There is more to talk about in Part Two of this article, but if you are understanding what we have talked about so far, then it is my opinion that you do indeed have eyes to see and ears to hear and are intended to understand the mysteries.
Dear FATHER, Thank THEE, for Blessing our Study of THY WORD! In JESUS' NAME, Amen!
