What Happened?
To understand what is going to happen, we must go back, and look at what happened, in the World that was.
2 Peter 3:5-6 KJVS
[5] “For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: [6] Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:”
This wasn’t Noah’s Flood, this was a worldwide flood that took place well before there was any man or woman in the flesh on earth, way before Adam, and Eve.
The World that was is this same earth but a different age, the First World Age, and that age was destroyed.
God created this World to be inhabited, and it was, and we were here as the morning stars in our true spiritual form, that shouted for joy for Our Heavenly Father in that Age that was ( Part One of this Study.)
God laid the foundation of that World, Satan as the Red Dragon, and his system of deceit, caused a rebellion against God, and for that, God destroyed the First World Age.
God also laid the Corner Stone which is Jesus Christ in the First World Age, and Jesus Christ is the Corner Stone that remains unmovable in this Second World Age, the age of Salvation.
Although the First World Age was destroyed, the Cornerstone that was laid who is Jesus Christ, remains everlasting.
Foundation.
Ephesians 1:1-5 KJVS
” Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus: [2] Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. [3] Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: [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: [5] Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,”
Chosen us in Him before the Foundation of the world.
Let’s look at the word Foundation in the Greek.
FOUNDATION from The Greek

Foundation From Its Prime In the Greek.

Transliterated Word

kat-ab-al’-lo
Parts of Speech
Verb
Strong’s Definition
From G2596 and G906; to throw down: – cast down lay.
God has chosen us in Him before the throwing down of that First World Age (its destruction) and the conception of this Second World Age.
In that World that was Satan was also cast down, let’s have a look.
The Overthrow of Satan.
Revelation 12:3-4 KJVS
“And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. [4] And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.”
Satan who was the Red Dragon in the First World Age, along with his system of deception convinced a Third part of the Stars of Heaven to follow him in a rebellion against our Heavenly Father in that First World Age. Because of that everyone had to be brought through in this Second World Age to be born in this flesh for a chance of Salvation, to find their way back to our Heavenly Father.
You can also see Satan’s rebellion spoken about in this chapter 28 of Ezekiel.
The king of Tyrus.
Ezekiel 28:12-16 KJVS
Son of man, take up a lamentation 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. [13] Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. [14] Thou art the anointed 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. [15] Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. [16] By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire..”
Satan who was the Red Dragon in the First World Age, was cast out of the mountain of God, and God destroyed that Age.
Satan and his fallen Angels, and those who will choose to follow him ultimately at the end of this Second World Age will finally be shaken out of the earth, to go into perdition.
Satan Will Return again to cause many to rebel against our Heavenly Father in this World Age, just like he did in the First World Age that was before. Are you on an unshakable Foundation which is Christ? Don’t get shaken out of this earth with the ungodly and lose your opportunity to go back home to Eternity, which is the Third World Age to come.
You were there in the First World Age, so was I… we just don’t remember it. We were In the Spirit, not these flesh bodies.
There Is a good reason why we don’t remember that age.
Jeremiah 4:22-26 KJVS
“For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge. [23] I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light. [24] I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly. [25] I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled. [26] I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the Lord , and by his fierce anger.
The fruitful place became a wilderness, and there was No Man (this couldn’t of been Noah’s Flood)
God destroyed that First World Age.
Why?
To bring in this Second World Age, the Age of Salvation, so that everyone who followed Satan in that First World Age, will have an opportunity at Salvation through the Chief Cornerstone who is Jesus Christ in this Second World Age. God is Merciful!
Jesus Christ is that Salvation. Jesus Christ is God in the Flesh. (John Chapter 14.)
However there were some who made a stand against Satan’s rebellion in that First World Age, they are the 7000 Elect.
The ones who God has chosen.
The 7000 Elect were not drawn away by Satan in the First World Age.
We can see God’s chosen Elect that made that stand against the Dragon, spoken about here in Romans chapter 11.
Romans 11:1-8 KJVS
” I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. [2] God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying, [3] Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life. [4] But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal. [5] Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. [6] And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
The 7000 Elect that did not follow Satan in that First World Age received God’s Grace in this Second World Age that we are in now, because they have already been judged. They have been judged before they were and are born in the flesh in this World Age.
They are God’s Servants.
They did not bow to their knees to that Red Dragon who was Satan, who is also Baal.
An ultimate Idol a False Husband (so to speak) full of babble, and confusion.
Satan who symbolically was the King of Tyrus in the First World Age, became an ultimate idol to the rebellious children, when he convinced a Third part of the Stars of Heaven to follow him, again referenced in Ezekiel 28 verses 12 through 17.
Again, those who didn’t follow that false king, are God’s 7000 Elect, and Our Heavenly Father knows He can trust them to bring them through in this Second World Age of Salvation to serve Him.
GOD FOREKNEW YOU, before the Foundation ( Kataballo) which is the overthrow of Satan, and the destruction of that First World Age.
You either sang to our Heavenly Father and stayed by Him.
Again, referenced in Job Chapter 38 verse 7.
Job 38:7 KJVS
“When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
Or you were drawn away, as we can see it written in Revelation Chapter 12 verses 3 and 4.
Revelation 12:3-4 KJVS
“And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. [4] And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.“
Again, Satan is coming to do this again in this Second World Age at 666. Satan, who is the Dragon, doesn’t want you to go back home into Eternity, which is the Third World Age to come. Same Earth, Three different World Ages.
The only way you can prevent Satan from pulling you away from God like he did many in the First World Age, is to be upon the Rock, which is Christ, the unshakable Cornerstone that you can have laid in your lives. Seek Him daily.
The Corner Stone, who is Jesus Christ, has to be laid as a strong foundation in your life, ( John Chapter 1 verses 1 through 5.)
The Word of God is the foundation you should be set upon, and that foundation is Jesus Christ.
To be continued.
