The PREDESTINED ‘Part Two’
If you remember in Part One of The PREDESTINED, we learned that FATHER was very happy with us and had very good words to say about us. HE also backed up HIS words of love by choosing us to be conformed to HIS SON in the flesh part of this second age. That reality we had back then is gone. We are here in flesh as humans, but we came here with the same spirit as we had back then. GOD made this reality to give those who did not choose HIM back then, a chance to choose HIM now. For those of us who already chose HIM, we have this destiny to conform to HIM in this age, and we also have a purpose, that destiny spoken of in the verses we have covered so far. So, the bottom line is that we (the Predestined) already chose WHO we love, and those who are not predestined (those with free will) have the free will to choose. GOD does intervene in our lives as we go towards our destiny.
HE predestined us before the foundation of the world. Now, considering that we are predestined, we do not have free will. We have a destiny. I should not say that we don't have free will, because we do. But explaining it is kind of difficult. We have free will, but GOD knows our hearts, and HE leads us to our destiny. We can, and we do, do bad things, but FATHER puts us back on track, back on The Path. HE will discipline us if we do bad things. Our destiny is in sharp contrast to those that have free will. When I say "free will", I'm speaking of the fact that we have already chosen WHO we love, and we did so before the foundation of the world. For those who have not chosen, they have the free will to choose. Free will by its very nature means choice. Those that have not made a choice have the free will to choose. They must choose CHRIST if they wish to make it to eternity.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
We, the election must also choose CHRIST, and this we did before the foundation of the world. Our names were written in the book of Life before the foundation of the world. That is why Ephesians chapter one states that we are predestined to come to CHRIST even in this sinful flesh age. That is because we already chose CHRIST when we first trusted in HIM before the foundation of this world.
Ephesians 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
Ephesians 1:5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
Ephesians 1:6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
In order to understand how we could be predestined before the foundation of the world, we have to look deeper into who we are, and in fact we have to look into who GOD’S children are as a whole. GOD’S children are the angels and that is all there is to it. If you study the book of Job, you will see that GOD calls HIS children “stars”. In some cases, GOD calls HIS children trees, but for this study we will concentrate on when GOD calls HIS children stars.
Job 38:1 Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
Job 38:2 Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?
Job 38:3 Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.
Job 38:4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
Job 38:5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?
Job 38:6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;
Job 38:7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
And JESUS, HIMSELF says that HE is The Bright and Morning Star:
Revelation 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
The morning star signifies early light, which signifies TRUTH.
The book of Revelation, chapter twelve shows a span of time that encompasses the end of the last age, all the way through to the end of this age. It’s an insert chapter that gives the reader the big picture of what happened before this age, and what will happen as this age comes to a close.
The following verses show that the dragon deceived one third of GOD’S children, causing them to be cast to the earth.
Revelation 12:3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
[
Note:
This wonder appeared in Heaven. It wasn’t on earth. That means it was in the previous age. If you studied the posts, “Three Beasts”, you will recognize this as the one world system beast government of the previous age. It’s similar to the one world system beast government of this age as described in Revelation chapter thirteen.
]
Revelation 12:4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
[
Note:
The dragon drew the third part of GOD’S children by his tail. That means by deception. The dragon also tried to stop the seedline to CHRIST. To cast these stars to the earth means to cause them to have to come to earth to be born in the flesh.
]
Now the point is to show that GOD’S children are the angels, but it’s more than that; we are those angels even though at this time we are here in flesh bodies.
Hebrews 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
Hebrews 2:15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
[
Note:
Now we know that GOD’S children are the angels, and if you look at Hebrews 2:14 above, you will see that these children partook of flesh and blood. You can also see that HE also HIMSELF “likewise” took part of flesh and blood. To do so likewise means in the exact same way. We already know that JESUS came from GOD (and of course that JESUS is GOD), and that HE came through woman to the flesh. Well, it says that JESUS did “likewise” as the children. That means the children were there in Heaven also and that the children took part in the flesh in the same way; that is, by coming to the flesh through woman. If you pay close attention to the context of Hebrews 2:14, you can see that "HE" with contrast to the children, must mean that the verse is speaking of "the Parent". The Parent took part in the flesh in the same way as the children took part in the flesh.
]
The following verses show that after we are finished with these flesh bodies, that we return to FATHER in the same state that we left. That is, as an angel:
Revelation 22:8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.
[
Note:
Now we surely know that John is speaking to, and of an angel here. We can also see that angels are very powerful beings.
]
Revelation 22:9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.
[
Note:
When John fell down to worship the angel, what did the angel say? It’s very important to notice the detail of this conversation. The angel said: “do it not” because the angel is a fellow servant, and of John’s brothers, the prophets.
There are no angel prophets. Prophets are men that GOD sends to the people to deliver HIS messages. The question I would have is: which prophet did this angel used to be? Was it Daniel, or Jeremiah, or perhaps Ezekiel or Isaiah? In any case this verse completely by itself shows that when we leave this flesh life that we are back with FATHER as one of HIS angels.
]
Now, what about before we came to this flesh life?
Jeremiah 1:4 Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Jeremiah 1:5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew H3045 thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
H3045
יָדַע
yâda‛

A primitive root; to know (properly to ascertain by seeing); used in a great variety of senses, figuratively, literally, euphemistically and inferentially (including observation, care, recognition; and causatively instruction, designation, punishment, etc.): acknowledge, acquaintance (ted with), advise, answer, appoint, assuredly, be aware, [un] awares, can [not], certainly, for a certainty, comprehend, consider, X could they, cunning, declare, be diligent, (can, cause to) discern, discover, endued with, familiar friend, famous, feel, can have, be [ig] norant, instruct, kinsfolk, kinsman, (cause to, let, make) know, (come to give, have, take) knowledge, have [knowledge], (be, make, make to be, make self) known, + be learned, + lie by man, mark, perceive, privy to, X prognosticator, regard, have respect, skilful, shew, can (man of) skill, be sure, of a surety, teach, (can) tell, understand, have [understanding], X will be, wist, wit, wot.
[
Note:
Jeremiah 1:5 says that before GOD formed Jeremiah in the belly, that HE knew Jeremiah. That means before Jeremiah was in his mother’s womb. It also says that GOD knew Jeremiah by interacting with him (including observation, care, recognition; and causatively instruction, designation, punishment, etc.).
]
Now we know that GOD knew Jeremiah before Jeremiah came here to the flesh, and we know that Jeremiah must have been a good person because GOD decided that Jeremiah was going to be a prophet. But what about other children? What about those children that are bad?
”Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated”
Romans 9:9 For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sara shall have a son.
Romans 9:10 And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac;
Romans 9:11 (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;)
[
Note:
Notice that verse Romans 9:11 says “For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil”? Being not yet born means that they have done no good or evil in the flesh. They could not have done either in the flesh because they haven’t been born yet. That does not mean anything about what they did before they were in the womb. As you can see in the next verses, GOD hated Esau.
]
Romans 9:12 It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.
Romans 9:13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
[
Note:
GOD hated Esau, and we know that GOD is righteous and fair in all that HE does. After GOD states straight out that it is none of our business what HE does, being the loving FATHER that HE is, HE explains why HE hated Esau in verse Romans 9:22 below.
]
Romans 9:14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.
Romans 9:15 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
Romans 9:16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.
Romans 9:17 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.
[
Note:
When GOD shows HIS power, and HIS NAME is declared, you can be sure that people will call on HIS NAME. GOD also says in other places in Scripture that whoever calls on HIS NAME shall be saved. So, I can see why GOD would display HIS power. It would take a pretty bad person not to call on GOD when they know WHO HE IS. Remember, the end time is all about deception. The children were deceived before. I would think that they would appreciate it if GOD showed them WHO HE IS and it resulted in them being saved.
Joel 2:32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.
]
Romans 9:18 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.
Romans 9:19 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?
Romans 9:20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
Romans 9:21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
Romans 9:22 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
[
Note:
Notice that the context of all of these verses is about what happened before Jacob and Esau were in the womb. The question is why did GOD hate Esau? The answer is in the verse Romans 9:22 above. It’s because these vessels (not clay vessels, but angels) were bad. They were already fit for destruction before they were born in flesh. GOD endured their actions with much patience.
]
Romans 9:23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,
Romans 9:24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
[
Note:
Just from these verses alone, we can see that the predestined election consists of not just Israel, but of gentiles as well. A gentile is one not born of Israel. "which HE had afore prepared unto glory", when did HE "afore" prepare us unto glory? The answer is before the foundation of the world. Before Genesis, before this age started.
]
Romans 9:25 As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.
Romans 9:26 And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.
Romans 9:27 Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:
Romans 9:28 For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.
Romans 9:29 And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha.
So, Esau was a bad character even before he came to the flesh. So were many others. They worshiped the devil before they ever got here.
But what about those that were good? After all, GOD loved Jacob before he was in his mother’s womb.
Romans 11:2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,
Romans 11:3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
Romans 11:4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.
[
Note:
For a deeper understanding of what will happen at the end time and for a better understanding of Scripture, be sure to study the post: “Types”. As you can see by the verse Romans 11:4, GOD has reserved to HIMSELF seven thousand that have not bowed to satan. The image of baal refers to the one world system beast. This beast appears two times; once in the previous age, and once in this age. By knowing what this beast represents, you can see in what way the children were bad. You can also see which children were good. The good children did not bow to satan (the leader of that beast). Now, GOD has these children reserved. That means HE has them reserved for a purpose. The context is that bad ones killed the good ones, but GOD’S answer is that HE has seven thousand reserved. They are the children that will mount up with wings as eagles. We will overcome the devil by The Blood Of The LAMB and by the WORD of our testimony.
Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Revelation 12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
Revelation 12:8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Note: John was taken to The LORD’S DAY in Revelation chapter one, so what John is telling us in this vision is past tense to John’s perspective, but to us it is yet future.
Revelation 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
[
Note:
Those brethren are us, the election. The devil accuses us day and night, but as it says in Romans chapter eight, “Who can lay a charge to GOD’S elect? It is GOD that justifies”.
Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
Romans 8:27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Romans 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
Romans 8:30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
Romans 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
Romans 8:32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
Romans 8:33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.

Revelation 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
Revelation 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
Revelation 12:13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
Revelation 12:14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
Revelation 12:15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
Revelation 12:16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
Revelation 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
]
Romans 11:5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
Romans 11:6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
Note: Verse Romans 11:6 means that it is ordained of GOD.
Romans 11:7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election G1589 hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded
G1589
ἐκλογή
eklogē
ek log ay'
From G1586; (divine) selection (abstractly or concretely): chosen, election.
Romans 11:8 (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.
[
Note:
Remember that in Ephesians one, it says that we were chosen. And in Romans chapter eight and Ephesians chapter one, we are predestined. We are the election and election means chosen.
As we can see in Romans chapter eleven, verse seven, we obtained what Israel did not obtain. What is that we obtained that Israel did not obtain? The answer is in Romans 11:4: We are the seven thousand that have never bowed to satan.
That is why FATHER is speaking those good words about us in Ephesians chapter one.
Also note that the rest were blinded. It’s my opinion that if the rest worshiped satan before, they will do it again. By being blinded, they cannot be accountable.
That means it is merciful of GOD to blind them. It gives them a chance to come out of worshiping satan when Zerubbabel builds the end time Temple or in the Millennium when they receive the thousand years of Iron Rod discipline. If they know the TRUTH and still worship satan, that is the unforgivable sin.
]
A Final Note On This Subject:
We now know who the predestined are, and we know why we are predestined. We also know that we have eyes to see and ears to hear and that we cannot be deceived into worshiping satan.
But we have a job to do. We must prepare for that job and we must invest our talents (see the parable regarding the talents).
Mark 13:9 But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.
Mark 13:10 And the gospel must first be published among all nations.
Mark 13:11 But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.
Mark 13:20 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.
Matthew 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
And if you take a look at these verses, you can see that ALL people who dwell on the earth at the time the antichrist comes will worship him except the election, who had their names written in the book of Life from the foundation of the world.
Revelation 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Revelation 17:8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
If you look at these verses from Ezekiel chapter five, you can see that GOD uses Ezekiel’s hair symbolically to refer to all three thirds of HIS children.
One third joined satan in the attempt to take FATHER’S THRONE, one third did not care one way or the other, and one third did care but they were lukewarm and would not stand up to what was right.
The hair that Ezekiel puts in his skirt is symbolic of the election and comes out of each of the thirds.
Ezekiel 5:1 And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp knife, take thee a barber's razor, and cause it to pass upon thine head and upon thy beard: then take thee balances to weigh, and divide the hair.
Ezekiel 5:2 Thou shalt burn with fire a third part in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled: and thou shalt take a third part, and smite about it with a knife: and a third part thou shalt scatter in the wind; and I will draw out a sword after them.
Ezekiel 5:3 Thou shalt also take thereof a few in number, and bind them in thy skirts.
Ezekiel 5:4 Then take of them again, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire; for thereof shall a fire come forth into all the house of Israel.
But the good news is that the fire caused by the election that comes forth into all the house of Israel results in one third making the first resurrection.
The other two thirds will have to go through the thousand years of Iron Rod discipline of the Millennium. They are cut off and die Spiritually. But that means that one third comes out of confusion and repents of worshiping satan while they are still in the flesh. That is extremely good news.
Zechariah 13:7 Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones.
Zechariah 13:8 And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein.
Zechariah 13:9 And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God.
[
Note:
The little ones are the election. GOD cups HIS Hand over us to protect us. The third part that is brought through the fire are those that come to the TRUTH and repent of worshiping satan while they are still in flesh.
They are forgiven as though they never sinned at all. They wash their robes in The Blood Of The LAMB.
The election is the Stone with seven eyes.
Zerubbabel uses that Stone as the plummet stone to build The End Time Temple Of The LORD. That will result in the one world system being brought down. See the video: “The End Time Temple Of The LORD”.
The Stone with seven eyes is also the Stone cut out of the mountain without hands that will strike the image in king Nebuchadnezzar’s dream on the toes of iron and clay bringing it down without hands. That image is the one world beast system of Revelation 13, also known as the image of baal. See “Five Are Fallen [Parts One and Two]".
“Five Are Fallen [Part 1]"
“Five Are Fallen [Part 2]"
]
Luke 8:10 And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.
This concludes the post on “The PREDESTINED”.
Dear FATHER, Thank THEE for Blessing our Study of THY WORD! In JESUS' NAME, Amen!
