The Creator of the Heavens and the Earth and All Its Creation, the Devil, Man, Belief and Disbelief, and Knowledge
and the State of Things
God is the Word, and He has the power to create; thus, He is the Creator. The devil (dragon, Satan, serpent) is a creation who betrayed that became a god, and he has no power to create. Man is a creation, and because he is like a house and like the earth, he is God’s house (ref. 1Cor 3:9).
Belief and disbelief are a man’s freedom. There are two types of knowledge: the knowledge from heaven (heavenly knowledge) and the knowledge from the earth (earthly knowledge). The one who learned the things of heaven (heavenly things) knows the things of heaven (heavenly things). And the one who learned the things of the earth (earthly things) knows the things of the earth (earthly things). One knows as much as one has learned.
Let us think of man’s situation. The man before sin and the man after sin are different. Before sin, man was governed by God, and after sin, man became one who is governed by the devil. Hence, the man before sin listens to God’s word, and the man after sin listens to the devil’s word but not to the word of God. The reason lies in whose house that man is; it differs according to who [the man] belongs to between God and the devil. A disbeliever doesn’t belong to the group of either god. However, those who were born of a sinner’s gene after the sin of Adam are a family of sin. Therefore, they belong to sin. Consequently, sin and righteousness are complete opposites of each other, and they became enemies.
With the betrayal of man, God left this earth that [no longer] had God’s group. Thus, God is in the heaven above, and the devil came to govern this earth. God, who is the master (owner) of this earth, sent His messengers in every generation to reveal this truth. However, the devil of this earth killed every messenger sent by God without exception. Thus, after Adam’s sin, there have been wars on this earth. Revelation is the last war.
