Imagine
You are the God of the Universe!
The Creator and Sustainer of all things!
You created and sustain:
Breathtaking Galaxies!
Unnumbered Worlds!
Heb. 11:3 (KJV), “Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.” (See Heb. 1:1, 2 (KJV), also.)
Unnumbered Inhabitants
On Those Unnumbered Worlds!
…who met with You regularly:
- Job 1:6 (KJV), “Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD,…”
- Job 2:1 (KJV), “Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD,…”
Angels Watched Earth Created
In fact, many of these sons of God watched You create this Earth according to Job 38:4 – 7 (KJV):
Job 38:4 – 7 (KJV), “Where wast thou [Job] when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. 5Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? 6Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; 7When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?”
And Adam was the representative from our world before he sinned who should have met You regularly with the other representatives of the other world according to Lk. 3:38 (KJV):
Lk. 3:38 (KJV), “…Adam, which was the son of God.”
In fact, from the very moment You began creating all things, everything, animate and inanimate, was filled with peace and in complete harmony with Your character, law, and the principles of Your Government throughout Your vast, unlimited universe…
Until…
…that sad day when iniquity was found in the heart of the highest, most intelligent, gifted, and beautiful angel You ever created (Eze. 28:15; Isa. 14:12 – 14).
You named that gifted angel, Lucifer, which means, son of the morning (Isa. 14:12).
Lucifer once:
- Loved You,
- Adored You,
- Worshipped You,
- Sang Your praises, and…
- Led and deepened the love, loyalty, adoration, and praise of all the intelligent beings in You throughout Your vast universe that You have made.
But from the day iniquity was found in his heart, all that began to change.
This most intelligent and gifted angel began to war against You…and in heaven, of all places (Rev. 12:3, 7-9)!
In fact, he began to secretly draw the worship, allegiance, and praise that rightfully belongs to You and You alone to himself.
But he didn’t stop there. This most intelligent and gifted angel began to subtly accuse You of the following 3 serious false accusations before the entire, onlooking universe!
And they weren’t clumsy accusations that were easily understood and answered! Not at all! The devil was too smart for that.
Instead, Satan’s 3 accusations were so devious that it has taken 1,000s of years till Calvary and beyond to unmask and lay each accusation bare before Your entire onlooking universe!
Here are Satan’s 3, serious, devious, and false accusations he accused You of before Your entire, onlooking universe:
Accusation 1:
You are selfish & oppressive.
You claim all and give nothing (Mt. 25:24,25).
You require the service of Your creatures for Your own glory and make no sacrifice for their good.
Accusation 2:
Your law is defective and restrictive of our liberty. Therefore, it must be abolished.
Accusation 3:
Your ruling attributes of mercy and justice that You base Your government on are incompatible. Therefore, they must be separated.
Now…how do You feel?
And more importantly, how do You resolve these false accusations?
With force, or truth and love.
And remember, all Your onlooking universe is watching what You will do and how You will resolve these 3 false accusations…
Now let’s switch back to you.
With that framework in mind, consider the following 3 questions that can help you identify at a deep, emotional level just how these 3 false accusations made the God of Heaven feel when He was falsely accused by the being He created and dearly loved.
Question 1:
Have you ever been falsely accused?
God has. In fact, before God created this world, Satan spread lies about God. Satan asked: Is God truly loving, merciful, just, self-sacrificing, and trustworthy?
Question 2:
How did you feel when falsely accused?
Sad, hurt, betrayed? Perhaps all three?
God did also. God felt all three: sadness, hurt, and betrayal…all three.
But here’s the most important question of all three…
Question 3:
How did you resolve these false accusations?
By force, or truth and love?
God chose the path in harmony with His character – truth & love – lest we serve Him from fear not love. And that path cost God the highest price He willingly paid…
His Son’s death on Calvary’s Tree (John 3:16)!
Wow!
Royalty died for me!
So through Christ on Calvary…
God answered all 3 of Satan’s false accusations:
Satan’s Accusations
1. God is selfish.
2. God’s law is defective.
3. God’s ruling attributes of justice and mercy are incompatible.
Calvary’s Answers
1. God is selfless (2 Cor. 5:19).
2. God’s law is unchangeable, or Christ would not have had to die (Ps. 119:89).
3. God’s ruling attributes of justice and mercy are in perfect harmony and embrace at the Cross (Ps. 85:10; 89:14).
In fact, God’s path of love that answers all 3 of Satan’s accusations is beautifully illustrated in the sanctuary (Psalm 77:13) for all time and eternity!
That’s why this chart wraps every answer and every part around the sanctuary both on the front and back of this chart.
Remember, Jesus said, “If you have seen Me, you have seen the Father” (John 14:9).
That means that through Christ we see what God is truly like:
- Loving
- Merciful
- Just
- Self-sacrificing, and…
- Fully trustworthy.
Thus, through Christ, God answers all Satan’s false accusations! And that’s what makes this chart unique. This chart ties every part and every Bible answer such as:
- Lists of Bible Kings and Nations
- Bible Prophecy
- Genealogy and more…
…to resolving the Great Controversy between:
- Good & Evil,
- Truth & Error, and
- Christ & Satan
…that:
- Began in Heaven
- Will end on this earth…
- And answers 3 false accusations that the highest, most intelligent, gifted, and beautiful angel leveled against God in Heaven.
