The creation process is recorded in Genesis chapter one. It says out of darkness and void, God created the universe. The question is ,was the six days recorded in the bible, literal or it represent something more than that. In Genesis 1:5 it says that after the creation on the first day,there was evening and there was morning, one day.Between the evening and the morning,is night. The lapse of time or interval in which the created species has to pass till the morning when it begins to fulfill it purpose,or the state of maturity, is the growing period.
The universe is the representation of Gods essential character and form, substantially developed according to the principle of mathematics.Therefore God is a mathematical God, the absolute reality and the existing neutral center of two essentialities, therefore God is a Being of number three.

That also mean that every created being which is an image or symbolic likeness of God,as it is written in Genesis 1:27 is created to go through the number three,in its existence, movement and growth. Therefore in order for any creature to be perfected,it must grow to maturity through the three orderly stages of formation, growth and perfection. The fact that nothing was created perfect in the begining, but through gradual periods as it is revealed in the Bible,it actually agrees with the scientific findings which says that the universe has many millions of yeras of history.

The number three appears throught the natural world which consists of minerals,plants and animal. Matter also exist in three forms, gaseous, liquid and solid. Plant consist basically of three parts, root, trunk and leaf. The three stages of human development, Child,Youth and Adult and many more.The period of growth is the indirect dominion of God, the realm of imperfection, where the perfect God cannot relate to man directly. God only deal with the result of the grwth. Therefore if man had kept the commandment giving to him in Genesis 2:17 and did not eat the fruit, then the commandment and the power of the principle of creation which naturally promote growth would have enabled Adam and Eve to grow through the three stages and enter the fourth stage,the realm of Gods direct dominion which is the realm of perfection and establish the four position foundation, which is Gods purpose of creation

the growing period is also known as the mathematical period of growth. That means, if man had not fallen,but had grown through the three stages of formation,growth and completion,he would have entered the fourth stage, the direct dominion of God, which is the realm of perfection and fulfill the four position foundation, which is Gods purpose of creation. The four position foundation is also the fulfillment of numbers,3,4,10,12,and 21
Man was created to grow through the formation stage of 7 years,the growth of 7 years and the completion stage of 7 years, so when man entered the direct dominion of God, he fulfills number 21. The number 4 is fulfilled, when through the 3 objects purpose, the four position foundation is formed between Man, Woman and the Child, centered on God. what that mean is that, when a perfect give and take relationship is establish between the 4 beings, God, Man,Woman and the child centered on God, 12 bonds of loving relatioships is created

When each of the three stages of the growing period is further divided into three stages,9 stages are created. So when man grow through the growing period and entered the fourth, he fulfills number 10. When we study carefully the circumstances surrounding the fall, there is a clear proof of evidence that man fell at the top level of the growth stage,when Eve had had the first encounter in illicit love affair with the archangel and later with Adam.After the fall their eyes were opened, and for the first time they realized that they were naked,so they changed their comportment by becoming discret,and covered their lower parts before God, because of feeling ashame and fear

From the principle point of view,the top of the growth stage is the ages between 13 and 14 years. That is when Eve had her first sexual experience with the archangel, therefore due to the fall man could not fulfilled the mathematical numbers. 3,4,12,and 21. God working his providence of restoration has to work in a way that those numbers which were lost at the growing period be restored. The principleteaches us the meaning o these numbers in the bible and its origin. For example, The three wise men from the east, The three temptation to Jesus,Three prayers in Gethsemane.Three decks of Noahs ark. abrahams three offerings and many more. Noah has to send out the doves three times seven, symbolizing, formation growth and completion.

When the Israelites left Egypt fo Canaan,if they kept faith in Moses, their Journey would have been 21 days but due to lack of faith their journey was prolonged to 21 months through the wilderness. As it was explained the 4 position foundation could not be established due the fall, therefore God called Noah, 10 generations after Adam, to restore the number 4
Example, Jesus 40day fast, Two 40 yera of Moses life, 400 years of slavery in Egypt and many more.

In redeeming mankind from the original sin, the Messiah will come at the top level of the growth stage, the point where Adam and Eve fell, and engraft fallen men unto Himsef by removing the original sin. Under the leadership of the Messiah fallen men will then grow through the completion stage in to the direct dominion of God, the realm of perfection and establish the 4 position foundation to realize Gods purpose of creation, which is the establihment of the kingdom of heaven on earth.That is the mission of the Lord of the second Advent,in the LAST DAYS.

The three great blessings which God gave to our first human ancestors in Genesis 1:28 were not realized centering on God, due to the fall,instead they were realized centering on satan, in the non principle realm. Therefore human hitory started from evil, but Gods work in the providential history of restoration is to transform the sinful world under satan sovereignty,once the three great blessings are fulfilled centered on God. Therefore,LAST DAYS is the time when this sinful world under satans sovereignty is transformed into the ideal world under Gods sovereignty.
In other words LAST DAYS is the day when hell on earth is transformed into the kingdom of Heaven.

The purpose of human history is to restore the Tree of life which was lost in Genesis 2:9. Also the garden of Eden does not mean a limited place where Adam and Eve were created,but the entire world. The Last Days will not be a day of fear in which many natural calamities will take place as many Christians have believed. Actually Noahs day was the Last Days. When God said He was determined to make an end of all flesh in Genesis 6;13, because the earth was filled with violence through them Behold I will destroy them with the earth, God did not destroy the earth, because the earth is eternal.Eccl 1:4,but the corrupt people who were connected to satan at that time,leaving the good people of Noahs family who were in the ark. God wanted to end the evil history and begin a new one with Noahs family, but due to Hams failure, Gods will was nullified.

Jesus day was Last days, because Jesus came as the Master of judgement John 5:22 This is also why Malachi prophesied Behold the day comes burning like an oven when the arrogant and the evil doers will be stubble, the day that comes wil burn them up so that it will not leave them neither root nor branch Malachi 4:1. Jesus came to restore the kingdom of Heaven on earth but due to the faithless attitude of the people, His mission ended in a failure,and has to come again.
The day of the Lords second Advent is also the Last Days. Jesus comes to fufill the purpose of the providence of restoration,redeeming all mankind from sin Romans 8:22-23,Therefore Jesus second coming was likened to Noahs day Luke 17:26 as many natural calamities will ocure.

Let us begin to understand the meaning of the signs of the Last days, wether all the predictions in the bible will literally take place. Genesis 6:13 and Rev 21:1-4 When God said He will destroy the earth at the time of Noah,He did not,bcause He has founded the earth forever.Psalm 78:69 God wanted to replace the evil sovereignty under satan with the Heavenly sovereignty. 2 peter 2:12 says that in the last days the heavens will be kindled and disolved and the element will melt with fire. This willnot literally happen, because when Malachi prophesied that when Jesus comes evil doers and arrogant people would be set ablased, nothing of the sort occured
In Luke 12:49,Jesus said I came to cast fire upon the earth, Jesus did not set literal fire everywhere.

James 3:6 says the tongue is fire,meaning that judgement by fire is judgement by the tongue naturally means that judgement by the word. Therefore judgement by fire means judgement by the word John 12:48 says he who rejects Jesus and does not receive his sayings has a judge and the word that jesus has spoken will be his judge on the last days. 2 Thess 2:8 says that the lawless one will be revealed and jesus will slay him with the breath of his mouth His WORD. In the garden of eden man lost Gods words and died, therefore in restoration,man will need Gods words in the LAST DAYS, thats why the word becomes the standard of judgement John 5:24
The dead will rise from their tombs, Matt.27:52 this was a spiritual phenomenon, that those who had their spiritual eyes opened saw the saints in the tombs meaning the realm of the form spirit spiritual world,where the spirit of Moses and Elijah appeared from.Matt 17:3

Caught up to meet the Lord in the air 1Thess.4:17, The air mentioned here does not mean the sky. In the bible earth means the fallen world, evil sovereignty, while heaven means the sinless world of good sovereignty Matt 6:9 says Our Father who art in heaven yet god is omnipresent. Also we find, But who descended from heaven , the son of man John 3:13 Though Jesus was born on earth.
Sun and Moon darkened, stars fall frm heaven. Matt 24:29 To understand this phenomenon, we need to understand Joseph dream at Genesis 37:9 Then he dreamed another dream and told it to his brothers and said,Behold I have dreamed another dream and behold the sun and the moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me, but when he told it to his Father, his father rebuked him and said to him,what is this dream that you have dreamed? Shall I and your Mother and your brothers indeed come to bow ourselves infront of you?.

When Joseph grew up he became the prime minister of Egypt and it happened as in the dream. His parents and brothers came to bow before him. In the bible,verses the sun and moon symbolize the parents and the stars symbolize the children.
Jesus and the Holy spirit came as the True parents to give rebirth to mankind in place of adam and Eve, therefore the Sun and Moon here symbolize Jesus and the Holy spirit and the saints the children. In the bible Jesus is likened to the true Light John 1:9. He came as the word made flesh. John1:14 as the light of Truth. The sun light here means the light of the words of Jesus and the moon light means the light of the Holy spirit.

For the sun and moon to lose their light means that the New Tesatament words of Jesus and the Holy spirit will lose meaning and their mission. Just as the old Testament words lost their light when Jesus and the holy spirit came with the new words in order to fulfill the old testament words.So the New Testament words Jesus gave to the people at the first advent also will lose their light, when Christ comes again with a new truth(words) in order to fulfill the New testament words to establish the New Heaven and Earth. Stars falling from Heaven means that the saints will offend the lord and fail just like in the past.That is why he may suffer in the hands of the present generation Luke 17:25. People may not have the kind of faith that will allow them to recognize him.Luke 18:8. Therefore the Lord will not recgnise their work Matt 7:21-23.

when God saw that the sinful world brings only sorrow to man who He created,it grieved his heart and lamented in Genesis.6:6.God created a world of goodness in order to feel joy from man not for sin.Therefore in order that God should not be called a God of failure,God determined to save man by restoring him to the position he had reached before the fall of the human ancestors by completely driving out the evil power of satan from this world of sin.Acts.26:18.In that case God must work his providence to such an extent that he can dominate the world directly through the fulfillment of the good purpose of creation,as said in Acts 3:21,therefore Gods providence of salvation is the providence of restoration Acts 1:6, Matt 17:11

The human fall was the result of mans own error, yet God also share some responsibility for the result as the creator,therefore God has felt compelled to restore the result of mans error to its original status,before the fall.God is the everlasting subject,therefore the life of man who was created as His eternal object of joy should also have eternity.Even though man fell,God cannot annihilate him because this would nullify the principle of creation.So God must surely save man and restore him to his original position in the creation.Gods determination to realize the three great blessings has not,and will not change,thats why He said in Isaiah.46:11 I have spoken and I will bring it to pass,I have purposed and I will do it.

According to his own words God has been working to fulfill his promise by developing the providence of restoring these three blessings lost to satan.Jesus said to his disciples in Matt 5:48 You therefore mus be perfect as your heavenly father is perfect.He mean that they should be restored to the position of the original man of creation.The original man of creation,should be perfect as God,having eternal deity because of his oneness with God
The purposeof the providence of restoration,is to realize the heavenly Kingdom here on earth centering on man,that was Gods desire from the begining.However, he could not fulfill His will because of the human fall.

Jesus who came in order to fulfill the purpose of the providence of restoration,told his disciples to pray that Gods will be done on earth as it is in Heaven Matt.6:10,and warned his disciples to repent because the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand Matt.4:17.We have already said that Gods providence of salvation is the providence of restoration,therefore human history is the period of the providence through which God intends to save fallen men.Let us look at this from various standpoint.

First let us study the history of the development of cultural spheres.Many religions have existed in the past.Among them the religions with the greatest influence formed cultural spheres,21-26 in number.With the flow of,the inferior has been absorbed into the superior ones.We have Four major cultural spheres at the moment,The far East culture centered on( Confucianism and Buddism) Hinduism,Islam and Christianity
They are now being formed into a worldwide cultural sphere centering on Christianity.From this historical trend,we clearly see that Christianity has as its ultimate mission,the accomplishment of the purpose of all religions

The history of the development of cultural spheres shows a trend towards the formation of a worldwide cultural sphere centering on one religion through the unification of numerous religions.This is the proof that human history is heading towards the restoration of one unified world culture.
Second,by examining the trend of religion and science,in the providence of restoration,we find out that religion and science are working respectively to overcome two aspects of human ignorance since the fall.Religion and science which has been working separately from each other are now forced to meet at one placeafter having progressed towards the same goal of restoring the original world of creation.

If man had not fallen,his intellectual capacity would have been developed to the utmost degree in the spirit knowing the internal truth to naturally encourage a corresponding degree of external development through science.Science would have been developed quickly by our early people.
Third,the granting of independece to colonies,the formation of the United Nations and the many international oorganizations working around the world to elevate the lives of people in poor nations,is a clear sign of a ground breaking that sooner all men can live in peace and in harmony with each other

Today with communism and demcracy confronting each other,their struggles will never stop until Truth appears to overcme completly the materialistc view of history.When this ultimate truth appears and can solve the problem of religion and sciencs,and unite them as one,this communist ideology which denies religion will be overcome

Fourth,from the biblical point of view, Lets look at the restoration of the Tree of Life in the garden of Eden Genesis 2:9.The garden of eden does not mean the small area where Adam and Eve were created,but the entire whole earth.If Adam and Eve had not fallen,they would have fulfilled the three great blessigs,multiplying good children and filling the earth Genesis 1;28.But because of the fall,the tree of life fell in the hand of satan Genesis 3:24,and the sinful world of mankind started. That is why Jesus came at the close of the old testament age as the tree of life to usher mankind into a new history.Provebs 13:12 but due to the cricifixion,his mission was prolonged till the second advent as the TREE OF LIFE in revelations 22:13-14 the one that the whole creation under satans dominion are waiting for Romans 8:19-23.

God’s purpose of creation was to realize His ideal world, which is the establishment of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth through the first human ancestors Adam and Eve by them fulfilling the 3 great blessings God gave to them. Genesis 1:28. Be fruitful, Multiply, and Having Dominion over the rest of the creation. But before Adam and Eve could fulfill the first blessing, the fall took place, and were driven out of the garden. It was outside of Eden that Adam and Eve fulfilled the second blessing of multiplying children without God at the center creating this evil world

Gods providence of restoration was started in Adams family, that means God wanted to send the Messiah immediately after the fall in Adams family. For that to happen, Adams family must make a condition to restore the Foundation of faith and the Foundation of substance. Foundation of faith means your own personal relationship with God, in other words your obedience to Gods word. Foundation of substance is achieved through a horizontal relationships. It is the condition to remove the fallen nature which man inherited from the fall.

The foundation of faith in Adams family was restored by Abel. Abel made an acceptable offering to God, and God was pleased with it and accepted it. At the same time Cain also brought an offering to God, but God wasn’t pleased with his offering. Instead of Cain becoming happy for the acceptance of his younger brothers offering by God and sharing the blessing together with him, he rather became jealous, angry and killed Abel his brother. Genesis 4:1. Meaning that they could not restore the foundation of substance,which also means that even after the fall, Adams family could not lay the foundation upon which God could send the Messiah.

God chose Noah’s family in the place of Adams family to establish the foundation to receive the messiah.
Note that for God to send the Messiah, two conditions needs to be fulfilled, 1. Foundation of faith, 2. Foundation of substance. Noah was able to restore the foundation of faith by his obedience to God’s word to build the ark for many years without a change of mind. The purpose of the ark was to be able to save Noah’s family who were good people on the side of God, and to destroy the rest of the people who were on the side of evil through the flood judgement. Genesis 6,7,8. The Ark which had 3 decks was a symbol of a New Universe.

God told Noah to go into the Ark, for 7 days I will send rain on earth,for 40 days and 40 nights. The purpose of the flood judgment was for God to blot out everything on the surface of the earth,leaving only those in the ark. God chose Noah in the place of Adam as the new human ancestor through whom God wanted to establish the kingdom of heaven which Adam failed to realize. For that reason God gave Noah the same 3 great blessings as he gave Adam. Genesis 9.

The Bible says at the end of 40 days Noah sent a raven out of the window of the ark,which flew about until the water subsided, which indicate that satan is still around looking for any opportunity to invade. Noah also sent out a dove. The Bible says the dove went to and fro over the water,but not finding any place to set her foot,it returned to the Ark and Noah brought it back into the ark. Genesis 8:9. The first dove which Noah sent out and came to be taken into the ark,symbolized the first Adam. This story means that God created man on earth so that His idéal of which had being even before creation,might be realized in Adam as the perfected incarnation. But due to Adams fall,God could not realize His idéal of creation on earth through Adam,so God had to take back his ideal from earth for the time being and postpone the realization of his will.

Seven days later, Noah sent out the dove the second time,she could not set foot on earth because the water had not dried up. It returned to the ark with an olive leaf in the mouth,signifying that it would be able to alight the next time. Genesis 8:10-11. The second dove symbolized Jesus as the second Adam who would come as the perfect incarnation of the ideal of creation. Therefore this second story signifies that Jesus will come on earth in order to accomplish the providence of restoration, but incase the Jewish people disbelief he will go back to God’s bosom through the cross,leaving a promise to come back again,because with no place to set his feet, He could not fulfill the will of God on earth. This foreshadowing indicates that if the water had dried up so that the dove could alight and find something to eat it wouldn’t have to return to the ark. Likewise this indicates that if the Jewish people were to believe in Him and serve him,Jesus would not die but to realize the Kingdom of Heaven on earth at that time. But in case of them disbelief,Jesus would have to die on the cross and come again later at a more favorable time.

After another 7 days Noah sent out the dove the third time,the dove did not return to the ark because the water was dried up. Genesis 8:12. The third dove symbolized the Lord of the Second Advent who would come as the third Adam. This story indicates that when Jesus comes again,He will be able to realize God’s ideal of creation on earth without fail,so that the ideal will never have to go back to God’s bosom. When Noah found that the third dove would not return, he then came down from the ark to the earth and enjoyed the new Heaven and earth. This foreshadowing that when the ideal of creation will be realized on earth though the third Adam, then the new Jerusalem will descend from Heaven,and God’s dwelling will be among men. Rev 21:1-3.

The Bible says that all the prophecies were prophesied until John and Jesus was the end of the law,that means all that was said about Jesus in the Old Testament should have been fulfilled in his first coming, the realization of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. The fact that he was rejected in his first coming has prolonged Gods providence. Therefore this age is the Age of Prolongation of Restoration.
