The Foundation of the World

All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

(Revelation 13:8) NKJV

A laying down. The act of conception. The foundation-plan upon which the entire super-structure is built; the beginning (founding) that purposefully designs all that follows, that typically relates to Christโ€™s incarnation.

All three aspects of the Holy Trinity are present in Genesis 1:2 if we accept that the deep is God the Son, who is the product of an act of conception between the elemental spirits (atomic species) Alpha and Omega. This means that the deep is the first incarnation of God the Son, who later lived as Jesus of Nazareth.

We resolved Elohim with the Holy Trinity and Alpha and Omega. We deduced that the individual Alpha (God the Father) combined with the individual Omega (the Holy Spirit) to beget another individual Alpha and Omega, (God the Son) the third person of the Trinity. We can show you the scriptural basis for doing this. There are two keys:

  1. the Greek word translated foundation in today’s featured passage,
  2. the Hebrew word translated brought forth.

Conception

Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,

(1 Peter 1:20) KJV

There was an act of conception and the Son was begotten, or brought forth. This idea is contained in the phrase the foundation of the world, when translated from Greek.

So, why was the lamb slain from the foundation of the world, his own birth?

  1. A laying down,
  2. depositing, sowing, deposit, technically used of the act of conception.
    • katabolแธ— (from katรก, “exactly according to,” down from the most general to the most specific detail, “following all the way along,” and bรกllล, “to cast”) โ€“ properly, a foundation, cast according to a blueprint (original design); the substructure which determines the entire direction (destination) of all that follows; the foundation-plan, upon which the entire super-structure is built; (figuratively) the beginning (founding) that purposefully designs all that follows.
    • katabolแธ— (“foundation-plan”) typically relates to Christ’s incarnation, i.e. coming to earth in the flesh to be our Redeemer. This divine plan was set and sealed (guaranteed) before creation (Heb 9:26; 1 Pet 1:20; Rev 13:8). In general, (katabolแธ—) refers to the basis God has established, upon which all people can know Him. This was laid down before the first ray of sunshine or drop of water touched the earth.

Question 1

  • If two individuals,
    1. Alpha and
    2. Omega, combined in an act of conception to beget a third individual,
    3. Alpha and Omega,
  • what significance does this have for our understanding of creation?

And then we need to ponder the following question as we bring together the worlds of conservative theology and practical science:

Question 2

  • Why was the lamb slain from the foundation of the world, his own birth?
    • in order to create a world in which free will is possible.
