The Absolute Goodness of God

REST IN HIM

The End of 6,000 Years of Luciferian Slavery and the Beginning of His Kingdom

“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28

Your Rest Is Not IN the Earth—It’s IN HIM

For 6,000 years, humanity has been searching for REST in all the wrong places:

- In governments and political systems

- In technology and human advancement

- In wealth and material prosperity

- In religion and religious performance

- In self-improvement and self-actualization

- In earthly kingdoms and human empire-building

And after 6,000 years, the verdict is in:

There is NO REST in the earth. There is NO REST in man’s systems. There is NO REST in SELF-governance.

There is only ONE place where REST is found: IN HIM.

Not through Him. Not near Him. Not around Him.

IN HIM.

Colossians 3:3 - “For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.”

“Your life is HID WITH CHRIST IN GOD.”

IN HIM. Literally.

The Two Trees: The Choice Between Life and Death

In the Garden of Eden, God placed two trees:

The Tree of Life

Genesis 2:9 - “And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.”

The Tree of LIFE = JESUS

John 14:6 - “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

John 6:48 - “I am that bread of life.”

Revelation 22:2 - “In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life.”

Jesus IS the Tree of Life. He IS Life. He IS the Way. He IS the Truth.

Eating from this tree = LIFE, REST, PEACE, GOODNESS, GRACE.

The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil

Genesis 2:17 - “But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.”

The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil = DEATH

This tree produces:

- Self-consciousness (awareness of nakedness/shame)

- Self-determination (deciding for yourself what is good and evil)

- Self-governance (ruling apart from God)

- Self-righteousness (achieving your own “goodness”)

- Self-sufficiency (trusting in your own strength)

Romans 7:18-19, 24 - “For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do… O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?”

This is the INTERNAL FIGHT that the Tree of Knowledge produces:

- I want to do GOOD, but I cannot

- I hate EVIL, but I do it anyway

- I know what is right, but I lack the power to do it

- The more I try, the more I fail

- The knowledge of good and evil KILLS ME

This tree has a SEED. And that seed produces more death, more decay, more destruction in every generation.

The Tree of Knowledge = SELF = SIN = DEATH.

-----

Satan’s Great Deception: God Is Not Good

Genesis 3:1, 4-5 - “Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?… And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.”

Satan’s lie had three parts:

“Hath God said?” - Questioning God’s Word (Is God really trustworthy?)

“Ye shall not surely die” - Denying God’s consequences (God is lying to you)

“Ye shall be as gods” - Promising autonomy and self-determination (You don’t need God; you can be your own god)

The core deception: GOD IS NOT GOOD.

“God is withholding something from you. God is deceiving you. God is keeping you from reaching your full potential. You need to take matters into your own hands and determine for yourself what is good and evil.”

And Adam and Eve believed the lie.

They chose the Tree of Knowledge (SELF, death) over the Tree of Life (CHRIST, life).

And humanity has been dying ever since.

-----

6,000 Years of Luciferian Slavery

When Adam and Eve ate from the Tree of Knowledge, they didn’t just sin. They entered into SLAVERY.

Romans 6:16 - “Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?”

They yielded to Satan. They became his slaves.

John 8:34 - “Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.”

“The SERVANT of sin.” = SLAVE of sin.

The Curse: Self-Governance Under Satan

Genesis 3:17-19 - “And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.”

The curse included:

- Toil and labor (working by the sweat of your face)

- Futility and frustration (thorns and thistles)

- Death and decay (dust to dust)

- Separation from God (expelled from the garden)

And Satan—along with the fallen divine council (rebellious angels assigned to the nations)—became the rulers of this cursed world system.

Ephesians 6:12 - “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”

“The RULERS of the DARKNESS of this world.”

2 Corinthians 4:4 - “In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not.”

“The GOD OF THIS WORLD.” = Satan

John 12:31 - “Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.”

“The PRINCE of this world.” = Satan

For 6,000 years, humanity has been under Luciferian slavery:

- Enslaved to sin

- Enslaved to death

- Enslaved to SELF-governance (which is really Satan-governance disguised as human autonomy)

- Building earthly kingdoms that crumble

- Creating systems that fail

- Producing “good” that always leads to death

This is the age of the curse. The age of SELF. The age of death.

And it’s about to END.

-----

The 6,000 Years: 120 Jubilees

Genesis 6:3 - “And the LORD said, My Spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.”

“My Spirit shall not ALWAYS STRIVE with man.”

God set a TIME LIMIT on how long He would tolerate (strive with) human self-governance.

120 years.

But this isn’t referring to the lifespan of individual humans. This is referring to 120 Jubilee cycles.

Leviticus 25:10 - “And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you.”

A Jubilee = 50 years.

120 Jubilees = 120 x 50 = 6,000 years.

God gave humanity 6,000 years to prove that SELF-governance doesn’t work.

6,000 years to demonstrate that:

- We cannot save ourselves

- We cannot achieve righteousness on our own

- We cannot build lasting kingdoms

- We cannot create heaven on earth

- We cannot be “good” apart from God

And after 6,000 years, the evidence is overwhelming:

SELF-governance = FAILURE. DEATH. DESTRUCTION.

-----

Satan’s Counterfeit: Building Heaven on Earth (Without God)

Look around at the world today. What do you see?

Humanity attempting to create “heaven on earth” through:

- Advanced technology (AI, transhumanism, digital immortality)

- Scientific achievement (conquering disease, extending life, manipulating genetics)

- Global governance (one-world government, centralized control)

- Economic systems (eliminating poverty, redistributing wealth)

- Social engineering (creating “equality,” “justice,” “peace”)

This is Satan’s counterfeit kingdom.

A kingdom that LOOKS like heaven but is built on:

- Rebellion against God

- Lawlessness (rejecting God’s law and creating human law)

- Wickedness (calling evil good and good evil)

- Darkness (presenting lies as truth)

- Death (promising life but delivering death)

Using humans as SLAVES who are already dead (having eaten from the Tree of Knowledge).

This is the Beast system. This is Babylon. This is the final manifestation of 6,000 years of Luciferian slavery.

And God is about to DESTROY it.

-----

Jesus: The End of the Curse

Jesus came to declare the END of the curse.

Galatians 3:13 - “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree.”

“Christ hath REDEEMED US from the CURSE.”

How? By becoming the curse FOR us. By hanging on a tree (the cross). By taking our death so we could have His life.

Jesus came to:

Reveal God’s plan of redemption (Grace and Truth establishing righteousness and divine order)

Show us the Kingdom of God (A kingdom of Grace and the absolute goodness of God)

Declare the end of the curse (The 6,000 years are complete; the age of SELF is ending)

Luke 4:18-19 - “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord.”

“To preach the ACCEPTABLE YEAR of the Lord.” = The Year of Jubilee

Jesus came to proclaim JUBILEE—the end of slavery, the cancellation of debts, the restoration of inheritance.

The 6,000 years are COMPLETE. The final Jubilee has come.

-----

Look Up: The Signs Are Converging

Luke 21:28 - “And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.”

“LOOK UP.”

Jesus wasn’t kidding. He gave us specific signs to watch for:

Matthew 24:32-33 - “Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: so likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.”

“When ye shall see ALL THESE THINGS.”

The Full Number of Gentiles

Romans 11:25 - “For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.”

“Until the FULNESS OF THE GENTILES be come in.”

There is a SET NUMBER of Gentiles to be saved. God knows the exact number. And when that number is reached, the age of the Gentiles ends, and God turns His attention back to Israel.

The 6,000 Years Complete

If you count from creation to now, using biblical chronology and understanding that God operates on a 7,000-year plan (6 days of work + 1 day of rest = 6,000 years of man’s rule + 1,000 years of Christ’s reign), we are at or very near the end of the 6,000 years.

2 Peter 3:8 - “But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.”

Psalm 90:4 - “For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.”

6 days of creation = 6,000 years of human history

7th day of rest = 1,000-year Millennial reign of Christ

We are approaching the 7th day. The Sabbath rest. The Kingdom age.

The Convergence

When you look around, you see:

- Israel back in the land (1948)

- Jerusalem under Israeli control (1967)

- The fig tree budding (Israel prospering)

- Knowledge increasing exponentially (Daniel 12:4)

- Wickedness abounding (Matthew 24:12)

- The love of many growing cold (Matthew 24:12)

- False prophets and false Christs rising (Matthew 24:11)

- Wars and rumors of wars (Matthew 24:6)

- The gospel preached to all nations (Matthew 24:14)

- The convergence of global governance, technology, and control (Revelation 13)

All these things are happening SIMULTANEOUSLY.

This is not coincidence. This is CONVERGENCE.

The full number of Gentiles is being reached. The 6,000 years are complete. The signs are aligning.

Jesus is coming for His Bride.

-----

The Gentile Bride: Not a Jewish Feast

Here’s what many miss:

The Church—the Bride of Christ—is a GENTILE Bride.

Romans 11:13 - “For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office.”

Ephesians 2:11-13 - “Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; that at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: but now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.”

“Ye being in time past GENTILES.”

“Made nigh by the BLOOD OF CHRIST.”

The Jews Rejected Christ; The Gentiles Received Him

John 1:11-12 - “He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.”

“His own RECEIVED HIM NOT.” = Israel rejected Jesus as Messiah

“As many as RECEIVED HIM.” = The Gentiles received Jesus by grace through faith

Acts 13:46 - “Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.”

“We TURN to the GENTILES.”

The Wedding Is a GENTILE Wedding

Because the Bride is GENTILE, the Wedding is NOT tied to a Jewish feast day.

It’s a feast to the LORD—a celebration of the union between Christ and His Bride—but it’s NOT one of the seven feasts given to Israel in Leviticus 23.

The Jewish feasts were fulfilled (or will be fulfilled) by events related to ISRAEL:

- Passover = Christ’s crucifixion

- Unleavened Bread = Christ’s burial

- Firstfruits = Christ’s resurrection

- Pentecost = The outpouring of the Holy Spirit

- Trumpets = The call to repentance for Israel (future)

- Atonement = Israel’s national repentance and recognition of Messiah (future)

- Tabernacles = Christ dwelling with His people during the Millennium (future)

But the Rapture of the Gentile Bride? That’s its OWN feast.

It MAY fall on a feast day (to provoke Israel to jealousy, as Romans 11:11 says), but there’s NO REQUIREMENT for it to do so.

Romans 11:11 - “I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.”

“To provoke them to JEALOUSY.”

When Jesus comes for His Gentile Bride and the Jews are left behind, it will provoke them to jealousy. They will realize they rejected the Messiah, and the Gentiles received Him.

This is part of God’s plan to bring Israel to repentance during the Tribulation.

-----

Numbers and Days, Not Dates

We are not setting dates. We are watching NUMBERS and DAYS.

The day of the wedding is tied to:

The FULL NUMBER of Gentiles (Romans 11:25)

The COMPLETION of 6,000 years (120 Jubilees) (Genesis 6:3)

The FULFILLMENT of prophetic patterns (40-day testing, etc.)

These were set by God BEFORE the foundation of the 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.”

“BEFORE the foundation of the world.”

2 Timothy 1:9 - “Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began.”

“BEFORE the world began.”

God didn’t decide the timing based on our calendars or our feast days.

He set the number of Gentiles. He set the number of days. And when those numbers are COMPLETE, He will come for His Bride.

-----

The First Adam Had a Bride; The Second Adam Gets a Bride

Genesis 2:21-23 - “And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; and the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.”

Eve came from Adam’s SIDE. Born of flesh and blood.

The Church—the Bride of Christ—comes from Jesus’ SIDE. Born of water, blood, and the Spirit.

John 19:34 - “But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.”

“Blood and water.”

1 John 5:6, 8 - “This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.”

“The Spirit, and the water, and the blood.”

The Church was BORN from Jesus’ side when He died on the cross:

- Water = The Word, cleansing, sanctification
- Blood = Atonement, redemption, forgiveness
- Spirit = The Holy Spirit, new birth, regeneration

Just as Eve was taken from Adam’s side, the Church is taken from Christ’s side.

1 Corinthians 15:45 - “And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.”

“The LAST ADAM was made a QUICKENING SPIRIT.”

A LIFE-GIVING Spirit.

The First Adam brought death. The Second Adam brings LIFE.

The First Adam had a bride who brought the curse. The Second Adam has a Bride who receives the blessing.

And just as the First Adam’s bride was presented to him, the Second Adam’s Bride will be presented to Him.

-----

Jesus Will Make the Earth GOOD Again

When Jesus returns—first for His Bride (the Rapture), then to the earth with His Bride (the Second Coming)—He will RESTORE everything.

Acts 3:21 - “Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.”

“The times of RESTITUTION OF ALL THINGS.”

Restitution = restoration, renewal, making right

Jesus will:

- End the curse (Revelation 22:3)

- Destroy death (Revelation 21:4)

- Defeat Satan (Revelation 20:10)

- Restore creation (Romans 8:21)

- Establish His Kingdom of righteousness, peace, and joy (Romans 14:17)

Isaiah 65:17 - “For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.”

Revelation 21:5 - “And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.”

“I make ALL THINGS NEW.”

Make GOOD Great Again

God alone is GOOD. He is the standard of GOOD. He is absolute GOODNESS.

Mark 10:18 - “And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.”

“None GOOD but ONE, that is, GOD.”

For 6,000 years, humanity has tried to define “good” apart from God. We’ve created our own standards, our own morality, our own righteousness.

And it’s ALL been a LIE.

Isaiah 5:20 - “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”

But Jesus is coming to RESTORE the standard of GOOD.

To make GOOD GREAT AGAIN = to reestablish GOD as the ONLY standard of GOOD.

Not human good. Not relative good. Not self-determined good.

GOD’S GOOD. Absolute. Perfect. Holy.

And we—the Bride—have been given HIS FAITH and HIS TRUTH to establish HIS GOOD and HIS GOODNESS again.

Not by our works. By HIS GRACE working through us.

-----

REST IN HIM: The Only Place of Safety

So where is your REST?

Not in:

- Earthly governments (they will all collapse)
- Human systems (they will all fail)
- Technology (it will be used for evil)
- Wealth (it will be worthless)
- Self-reliance (you will fall)
- Religious performance (it will not save you)

Your REST is IN HIM. Literally.

Colossians 3:3 - “For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.”

“HID WITH CHRIST IN GOD.”

Hidden. Safe. Secure. IN HIM.

Psalm 91:1-2 - “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.”

“He that DWELLETH in the secret place.”

Not “visits.” Not “checks in occasionally.” DWELLS.

Lives there. Abides there. Remains there.

“In HIM will I trust.”

-----

Come Out of Babylon and REST IN HIM

Revelation 18:4 - “And I heard another voice from heaven saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.”

“Come OUT OF HER, my people.”

Come out of:

- The earthly systems
- The self-governance
- The Luciferian slavery
- The Tree of Knowledge (SELF, death)

And come INTO HIM:

- The Tree of Life
- The Kingdom of God
- The REST that only He provides
- The absolute GOODNESS of God

Matthew 11:28-30 - “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

“I will GIVE YOU REST.”

Not “I will show you how to earn rest.”

“I will GIVE YOU REST.”

It’s a GIFT. Received IN HIM.

-----

The 6,000 Years Are Complete

The curse is ending.

The age of SELF is ending.

The Luciferian slavery is ending.

The 120 Jubilees are complete.

The full number of Gentiles is being reached.

The Last Day of human self-governance is here.

And the King is coming for His Bride.

Are you IN HIM?

Are you RESTING in His finished work?

Are you hidden with Christ in God?

Or are you still trying to build your own kingdom, achieve your own righteousness, create your own “good”?

The choice is yours. But the time is short.

Come out of Babylon. Come INTO HIM. And REST.

-----

Hebrews 4:9-11 - “There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.”

“There REMAINETH therefore a REST.”

“Let us labour therefore to ENTER INTO that REST.”

Your labour? Stop labouring. Cease from your own works. Enter His REST.

REST IN HIM.

The 6,000 years are done.

The Bride is about to be gathered.

The Kingdom of God is at hand.
