Extended Edition. It is difficult for my finite mind even with the glorious guiding of The Holy Spirit - The Eternal Third Person of the Holy Trinity - to clearly define all the attributes of qualities of the Glory of God - The One True God of the Bible. I enclose here and repeat later for emphasis the truth of God's Glory in Heaven. Revelation 4 and Revelation 5:13 1 After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, "Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this." 2 At once I was in the Spirit, and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it. 3 And the one who sat there had the appearance of jasper and carnelian. A rainbow, resembling an emerald, encircled the throne. 4 Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on them were twenty-four elders. They were dressed in white and had crowns of gold on their heads. 5 From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder. Before the throne, seven lamps were blazing. These are the seven spirits of God. 6 Also before the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal. In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures, and they were covered with eyes, in front and in back. 7 The first living creature was like a lion, the second was like an ox, the third had a face like a man, the fourth was like a flying eagle. 8 Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under his wings. Day and night they never stop saying: "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come." 9 Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne and who lives for ever and ever, 10 the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne, and worship him who lives for ever and ever. They lay their crowns before the throne and say: 11"You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being." This study simply defines the truth of God's Glory, Definitions follow. For myself, the wonder of God's Glory is seen in the truth about His Son, Our Lord Jesus at the transfiguration. The following scriptures are taken from the NIV bible . Mark 8:34-9:13 8:34 Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 35 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me and for the gospel will save it. 36 What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul? 37 Or what can a man give in ex- change for his soul? 38 If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his Father's glory with the holy angels." 9:1 And he said to them, "I tell you the truth, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God come with power."

It is difficult for my finite mind even with the glorious guiding of The Holy Spirit - The Eternal Third Person of the Holy Trinity - to clearly define all the attributes of qualities of the Glory of God - The One True God of the Bible. I enclose here and repeat later for emphasis the truth of God's Glory in Heaven. Revelation 4 and Revelation 5:13 1 After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven.

Dr. Whelan's aim in this book is to encourage readers to look at the truth of the history of the Holy Scriptures and to affirm the belief in the verbal inspiration of Scripture and its inerrancy and infallibility. His work focuses on an overview of the truth of six literal days for creation. Natural God-given laws of physics and a cosmological model are examined. The question of evolution is also considered. He shows the earth as being young in accordance with the Biblical record. He also writes that the universe is also relatively young and that we should consider Biblical creation as our starting point.This effort to instiU what God created in six days, as compared to theories of evolution, will undoubtedly generate much discussion.In this work I analyse Bible Creation truth vs evolutionism - a young earth vs an old earth.When it comes to a subject such as this it is wonderful to have an eye-witness as a friend. The Lord Jesus is that eye-witness. As the Son of God - the Eternal Second Person of Elohim and YAHWEH - He walked with Adam in the Garden - but before that was with the Father and the Holy Spirit creating and speaking (Ge 1:3, 9, 11, 20, 26; 2:3, 18; 2:9, 22, 23). We know this truth as Jesus as the Eternal living word (Jn 1:1), told Moses all that Moses needed to know and write down as historical fact.This author has research over 60 works - scholarly books to discuss and confirm the truth of the Bible for this title: Bible Creation Truth - Genesis 1. Man is the apex of the Lord God's creation not the ape of evolutionism. God's creation of His fullness apart from man was different for He said "Let the land produce living creatures..." (Gen 1:24). However, when God made man, it was a personal relationship - "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule ......" (Gen 1:26). Man was made viceroy of God's creation, in charge of all God's work under God until man was disobedient.The aim of this work is to encourage believers to focus on the absolute truth of the history of the Bible - Holy Scripture (2 Tim 3:15-17). The focus is literal Biblical truth as opposed to a focus on metaphor, allegory or poetry. Some will suggest there is a place for these but this leads to liberal relativism. The question is - which worldview? In the theological subject "Apologetics" much has been written emphasising that Christians must be prepared to give a reason for heir hope in Jesus, but also to be well versed in the Historical fact of Scriptural truth. Thus this work is an encouragement for diligent study of literal Biblical truth.In this work, this author will not limit the theology of the existence of God. The Biblical fact is that God does exist and that He is sovereign. The sovereignty of God, (Elohim) (Ge 1;1-2:3), the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit - YAHWEH (LORD) (Ge 2:4ff) is Biblical fact and the truth of the Trinity and the authority of the Person of Jesus is not questioned. Separate chapters are devoted to these truths. Jesus is the eternal second Person of YAHWEH, who came into our history but who has always been present in God's eternity in the loving unity of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (1 Peter 1:19,20) Jesus was to be Saviour as this Scripture teaches - Saviour before the world began.This work focuses on firstly an overview of the truth of 6 literal days of creation. The supernatural and miraculous works of God are never questioned. Natural God given laws of physics and a cosmological model are examined. The question of evolution is also examined. There then follows the truth Scripture gives on these questions. Several subjects are repeated and added to, depending on their relation to key subject areas.The Holy Spirit guides born again believers into all truth - keep rejoicing.
