CHAPTER 1
In the Beginning God ...
What really happened in the beginning? And why has this truth been hidden for so long? To find out the truth, we must go back to the beginning of everything in the book of Genesis.
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. (Gen. 1:1)
In the Beginning God is a spiritual personification or a Person. When we read this scripture, we interpret it as time and not as an entity. In John 1:1, it states, "In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word [logos] was God." The fact that it states in the beginning was God, not is God, implies a continued action, meaning He was already preexistent. God exists outside of time but in eternity. The logos is the energy or the speech of God in (human) form, but God could appear in any form (Job 38:1, 42:5; Gen. 12:7, 17:1, 26:2, 24). The words Jesus was with God means all that He said, did, and showed pointed to the Father.
Isaiah 48:3 reads, "I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I shewed them; I did them suddenly, and they came to pass."
So In the Beginning God (the word), created the heavens and the earth. Everything was made good, but something happened to make the earth without form, an empty waste, and darkness was upon the face of the very great deep.
Deep in Hebrew in Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible is an abyss (tehom-tehhome), a surging mass of water that was agitated greatly.
And the earth was [became] without form [waste, confusion], and void [empty]; and darkness [misery, death] was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God [Holy Ghost] moved upon the face of the waters. (Gen. 1:2)
And the Spirit of God moved upon the "face of the waters." The word moved in Hebrew is rachaph (raw-khaf), which means to brood. Brooding is like a hen sitting on her eggs to keep them warm, protect them, and lead them out of darkness. God was preparing a special place for His children that are made in His image and was protecting His DNA from something or someone. DNA abides in a matrix of water. The fact that DNA is in water is the primary reason why it has it's helix ladder shape (as you will see later).
The Holy Ghost was covering by brooding over the face of the waters. How long ago did all this take place? How long ago is the beginning? Well, no one really knows because we cannot date God. He has no beginning and no end. Did God create the earth that way?
According to Isaiah 45:18, "For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens; God Himself that formed the earth and made it; He hath established it, He created it not in vain, He formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord and there is none else."
God made the earth for a purpose and for it to be occupied. In Genesis 1:9, it states, "Let the dry [confused, ashamed] land appear:" and it was so." The word was in verse 2 should read became, so the earth became an empty waste of misery and death.
What or who caused the earth to be an uninhabited, worthless waste and in darkness since He didn't create it that way? How did it turn into chaos (extreme confusion or disorder)? Why was the dry land ashamed? Something happened. God was angry at someone or about something. To find out, we must go to Isaiah for some answers and learn about Lucifer and what he did to anger God.
There were three worlds (ages). There was the world (anion-age), the original earth, the chaotic earth, and the restored earth from Genesis 1:3 and forward. What happened that turned the original earth into the chaotic earth? In Isaiah 14:12, this statement is made by God, "How art thou fallen from heaven O, Lucifer son of the morning!"
You can see by the exclamation point (!) that this is a statement and not a question. The original Hebrew makes it clear that the word Lucifer really is not an accurate translation. Light bringer or bearer isn't what was intended in this passage. Lucifer is a Latin word, and sadly, the phrase translated is misleading. It should have been translated O shining star instead of Lucifer.
Lucifer in Hebrew is heylel (hay-lael), in the sense of brightness as the morning star. The actual Hebrew word hay-lael does not mean "star" but "bright or clear sounding," as in singing hallelujah/ allelujah. Although it really means brightly colored or shining and, appropriately, boastfulness and pride, the next phrase, "son of the morning" or morning star, should actually read "son of the dawning," as in the earliest or the first God created. Son in Hebrew is Ben (bane); a son, as a builder of the family name and morning, is shachar (shakhar), dawn or early.
God created the Angels at the dawn of all His creation. A more precise translation from the Hebrew should read, "O, clear sounding, bright shining, and boasting son from the beginning." I refer to him as Heylael Ben Shachar (Lucifer), who was trying to be God and wanted to be used in His place.
"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" (Rev. 22:16).
Jesus is the Bright and Morning Star, not Heylael. Heylael is "the anointed cherub that covers." What was he covering?
CHAPTER 2The Anointed Cherub that Covers
Let's find out more about this being and what his purpose was and the exact reason why he was created. Let's go to Ezekiel 28:12-18.
Son of man, take up a lamentation [strike a musical note, chant or wail at a funeral] upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord God, Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. (verse 12)
Thou hast been in Eden [paradise] the garden of God; every precious [valuable] stone was thy covering [entwined decoration], the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship [ministry, employment], of thy tabrets [to drum, a tambourine] and of thy pipes [bezels, flutes] was prepared [set up, fixed] in thee in the day that thou wast created. (verse 13)
Thou art the anointed [expansion, outstretched wings, to paint or rub on ] cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. (verse 14)
Pay close attention to the tenses of the verbs; to walk and to be are past tense. He no longer is walking or in the holy mountain, but he is still the anointed cherub that covers.
Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. (verse 15)
By the multitude of thy merchandise [trade, to travel for trading] they have filled the midst of thee with violence [wrong, unjust gain, cruelty], and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy [to wander away, to perish] thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. (verse 16)
Once again, it is present tense, "covering cherub".
Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty [to be bright, beautiful], thou hast corrupted [to decay, to will it] thy wisdom [skillful, which, wise, teach] by reason of thy brightness [to shine, splendor, beauty, be light]: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. (verse 17)
Thou hast defiled [pollute] sanctuaries [sacred places, temple] by the multitude of thine iniquities [perverse, depraved], by the iniquity of thy trafflick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. (verse 18)
I have underlined some key phrases so that we can break it down and explain the truth about this cherub. To break it down, I got help from the Holy Spirit, revelation knowledge, and from Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible because it's a dictionary of the Hebrew and Greek words that were translated from the King James Version (KJV).
The King James Bible is the only definitive version because it is the only version that matches up with prophecies, the symbols, and understanding of what really happened in the ancient world. There is far more information in the original KJV than any other translated versions of the Bible, and it has not been changed or added to.
First of all, it is interesting to note that our body is composed of water and many of the same mineral elements that are found in some of the stones that adorned Heylael, primarily carbon, which is found in diamonds. Notice that he was created perfect in beauty and full of wisdom.
He was in Eden, but he was not a snake. He was a shining one as you see from this description. He had nine precious gemstones, and gold were placed in him on the day he was created. Heylael, the cherub, was adorned and decorated with an array of gems. These gems were encased in gold on his outstretched wings that formed an arch similar to the rainbow that you see after it rains. His wings were like a transparent rainbow that glittered with the light from God. Many of these stones are the same colors that are found in the rainbow in the record of Noah's life.
God's covenant with Noah declared that He would never again destroy the earth with a flood in Genesis 9:8-17. The rainbow in the clouds is a covenant sign from God to humans that He would never again destroy the world with water.
There is an emerald rainbow surrounding the throne of God. Emerald represents life and healing, and because trees and plants are alive, they are used to make medicines to help heal our bodies.
Ezekiel compares the glory of God to that of a rainbow in Ezekiel 1:28. This anointed cherub, this beautiful magnificent creature, had something to do with the throne of God and His glory.
Heylael's covering was like a prism shooting out, flashing streams of beautiful colors like the rainbow. He illuminated the light of God. This is where the term Illuminati originated from. (See chapter 9 for more information about the Illuminati.)
"God is Light, a Spirit, and a Consuming [blazing] fire" (1 John 1:5, Heb. 12:29, and Exod. 24:17). God is light (dunamis-energy, power). His dunamis or dynamite power is so powerful like that of a fire that He has to veil, clothe, and wrap Himself in light (Ps. 104:2).
Heylael believed he was special because he was illuminated by the light of God. He would go into the presence of God and absorb all of God's Shekinah Glory in Heaven into his jewels and then go out into the outer courts and reflect, refract, and magnify the glory of God to those living on the earth and on the planets. It is similar to the way a diamond disperses light and glistens when light hits it.
The Angels would see God's image in the jewels and bow down to the image of God being portrayed, proclaiming, "Halel-u-Jah!" meaning you are Jah! Praise Jah, the Lord! They were not bowing down to him but to the image of the Almighty God.
He was able to manipulate and control light and alter images. He wore nine stones, just like there are nine gifts of the Holy Spirit and nine fruits of the spirit. The number 9 represents harvest or birth or fruit. So he was skilled in harvesting or birthing things and bringing forth fruit. But what kind of fruit?
You know what kind of tree it is by the fruit that it produces. This cherub was producing rotten fruit.
This cherub was perfect in wisdom and beauty. He was anointed. He had the power of the Holy Spirit smeared on his covering. These same stones are seen in Exodus 28:9-14 when referring to Aaron, the brother of Moses, the first official high priest of Israel.
The high priest functioned as a mediator between the children of Israel and God. He was the go-between for heaven and earth. Aaron wore twelve stones to represent the twelve tribes of Israel, and the number 12 represents union and government. Without union with God, he was not supposed to govern.
What about the rest of his body? He had tambourines and flutes embedded in his body. In Isaiah 14, it says he had viols or strings for strumming, like on a harp, violin, or guitar. He was anointed, set apart for a specific purpose, the same way that all of us are created for a specific purpose by the Beginning God.
Part of his ministry was to be a walking praise instrument to God. When he walked, the tambourine played. His heartbeat was like a drumbeat. His body was punctured with flutes that played like an accordion (organ). We breathe air. He breathes music. He led the praise and worship for the terrestrial and celestial beings and Angels on the planets and in heaven. Heylael had percussion instruments built into his very being. When he played music, lights, sounds, and colors in a harmonious, melodious, and reverential symphony reflected God's glory. These beings worshiped God, and this cherub thought that all of this worship and praise should have been for him. The other Angels couldn't go into God's presence like he could. He was privileged to be a representative of the image of God. He covered the mercy seat in heaven. In other words, in order to get to God, you had to go through Heylael.
The Bible says that he was an anointed cherub. What exactly is a cherub? One thing for sure, a cherub is not the pictures of any of those Caucasian babies with wings. Those are not cherubs.
Cherubs are somewhat different from Angels. They are a celestial order of beings distinguished from the Angels. Angels are created spirits used as messengers. Cherubs are not dismissed on errands as Angels are and are never seen apart from the throne of God. The Bible describes a cherub as a creature having the following:
• Four faces and four wings
• The face of an ox, a man, a lion, and an eagle
• The likeness of a man
• Hands of a man
• Straight legs and calves or hooves, the appearance of light bright coals of fire
• The appearance of lamps, bright fire and flashing lightning going up and down their bodies
• Rings (backs) are full of dreadful eyes
• Reflecting the glory of God
• Guarding the throne of God
• They go where the spirit goes (Ezek. 1:10)
I want you to observe the fact that a cherub looks like a man and has hands like a man. So Ezekiel is referring to a man in verse 28. He is talking about a man or a living creature because that's what a cherub is. Earlier in this chapter God refers to the prince of Tyrus as a man and not God. In Isaiah 14:16, it states, "is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms?" In Mark 8:33, Jesus rebuked Satan through Peter because Satan savours (interest oneself with) the things of men.
The Bible never mentions Angels with wings, but it does mention cherubim and seraphim with wings. This is where the term two-faced comes from because the cherub has two faces on one side and two faces on another side. Notice also that this is one of the reasons why Satan is able to disguise himself in different forms. From this description, he was a mighty, majestic, fearful creature. He had the likeness of a man with four faces: a lion, ox, man, and an eagle with the hands of a man under his wings. Basically, he was a hybrid, part cherub and part man.
Cherubs have eyes all over their bodies and wings. God created man (us) in His image and likeness to replace this cherub/man a.k.a. Heylael. Man's responsibility is to be His high priest and king, to reflect God's glory, and to show His light in the earth to all creation.
Satan/Heylael is jealous of mankind and hates us because we are created in God's image and Satan is not. We are not hybrids, but he is a hybrid. He is similar to a pet or mascot. He is the anointed cherub that covers. Let's explore this word covers from Ezekiel 28.
The word cover in Hebrew is sakak (sawkak), which means to entwine as a screen, to fence in, protect, cover, join together, or shut up. This cherub was entwined like the DNA strands. He had the innate ability to work with DNA. Unfortunately he would eventually use this ability to manipulate genes through deception. God had entwined precious gems in him, but he needed to be silenced because of his deception. He is called a dragon, serpent, devil, Satan, a cherub, seraphim, Lucifer, prince of the power of the air, a snake, and Heylael.
