_ .Long before there was a-J)lanet, a great plan was set In motion that Involves all of us IMng today.

Somewhere in the outer reaches of space was a trem~ndous light and

power source composed of three distinct personalities.

The Bible claims each Person to be the only true and living God. It was here

this plan originated.

The Holy Scriptures call these three personal_ the Father. the Word. and the Holy Ghoet (God. the Holy Spirit). This is known as the Godhead.

"1 John 5:7 ... "For there are three that bear record tn heaven, the Father, the Won!, and the Holy Ghoet: and theae

areone.-

,

The number two Person of the

Godhead was given the job to create the vast universe. His name was called "The Word" ... He

spoke and the galaxies came into

existence.

The Bible says: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was GOd. The same was in the beginn~ng with God. All things were made by liim; and without him was not any thing made that was made.~ John 1;1-3

This tremendous power source later comes to our planet as a man. You'll be shocked to find out His name.

"He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not." John 1:10

"Lucifer means "Light Bearer" or "The Shining One." See Ezekiel 28:12,14

An amazing thing happened in heaven that had never happened before ... Lucifer became jealous. He wanted to be like God. He wanted all of the angels to worship him, instead of God. Lucifer was filled with pride,* which God spotted instantly. 'Isaiah 14:12-14 EzekieI28:17

I i::::':::: QUI an 0YtI plan In his head. He t .' talking angels Into joining him in throwing God off His lhrone. ·One lhird of 1he __ joined him. lucifer became _-mad. He declared war on God. ""lilal!on 12:4

Satan's beaten arm'y of beautiful

angels were changed into

demons.

3

In his insanity, Lucifer forgot he was only a created being. God ordered Lucifer, and the angels who had joined him in this evil plan, thrown out of heaven.

What a come-down ... Lucifer's name was . changed to ·Satan. He is also known by many other names in the Bible such as: the devil , the dragon, a roaring lion, the prince of demons, the wicked one , the old serpent , murderer, father of liars and *the angel of light.

-See Crusaders Slol)' 19 "Angel of Light."

MilliOns of these creatures were looking for a new home. They finally settled around one particular ptanet.

Page 5: KING OF KINGS -  The Bible In Pictures

The planet earth becomes the main stage for the most amazing and dramatic baHle of all time. Gen. 3:15

His territory is about to be

invadetl by a new type of

creature ... it is called man.

Satan and his demons are pushed out of the picture completely. -Jesus creates the plants, fish and animals, and the Lord said it was good. 'CoL 1:16, 17

Notice how the Lord created the first man. It wasn't through evolution as they teach us in our schools. Satan wants everybody to believe we came from monkeys. It's all part of his big lie.

Adam was perfect. He was programmed to live forever. His mind was pure . He had no evi l thoughts ... he was -innocent before God.

'Pure

KAnd God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good." Goo. I,,,

'The following elements are found to be the same in the human body and in soil... which backs up the Bible: sodium, chlorine, calcium, phosphorus, potaSSium, sulphur, iodine, copper, iron, cobalt, manganese, fluorine, zinc, molybdenum and 3 others which have later been defined: chromium, sel~mium and silicon.

God gave Adam a direct order· not to eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of gOod and evil. And Adam got the message. ·Genesis 2:17

He knew·if he ate·of this tree he would surely die.

The knowledge of good and evil was strictly forbidden. Either you must live with good or with evil. You cannot live with both.

God demanded total separation. God did IhIs to protect Adem.

The Lord Jesus created Eve. He put Adam into a deep sleep and formed Eve from" one of his ribs. Genesis 2:22

She, too, was perfect. Both glowed from God's glory. Adam loved Eve. God was their friend.

Adem and Eve animals. and 1I1e place they lived. 1he Galden of Edan. Everything was perflicI.

Page 7: KING OF KINGS -  The Bible In Pictures

Satan wanted to talk to Eve in the

garden ... one of the creatures in there

was called a ·serpent... so

Satan entered into the serpent and

possessed it, and talked through the

serpent to Eve.

Eve was fascinated by its conversation.

God had given Adam dominion; or oontrol, over \he entire world. Satan wanted to throW Adam oil his throne, to oontroI \he world just like he tri8d to do to God up in haawn ... only this time, Satan won. ' -GenesIs 1:28

Satan talked Eve into eating .the forbidden fruit and gambled that because Adam

\ loved Ev~, he would listen to her and also eat of the

. 6

He didn' t approach Adam because Adam had named every animal in the garden and he would have recognized that this creature had been invaded by an outside force.

Adam did it. Satan was overjoyed!

Page 8: KING OF KINGS -  The Bible In Pictures

The glorious glow that Adam and Eve had, went out. For the first time they saw their bodies and knew they were naked.* They had sinned against God.

*Genesis 3:7

Notice that . the on Adam. not Eve. A woman is responsible for her personal relationship with God which includes submission to her husband.

See Genesis 3:17.

7

A strange thing happens when we sin. W. try to _ someone else for it and thai's just what Adam did.

"Hast (have) thou eaten of the tree

whereof I commanded thee that thou

shouldest not eat?~ (Genesis 3:11)

God's heart was broken ... God had always been their friend but now it was a new ball game. He had to keep His promise.

Page 9: KING OF KINGS -  The Bible In Pictures

When Eve stood before the Lord, she blamed ·the serpent. She had no idea the terrible crime that she was involved in ... her act affected the life of every man, . woman and child that ever lived thereafter.

Adam and Eve, in trying to hide what they had done, used fig leaves .. . it was not gorn;t enough for God.

Something had to die for this crime. Some believe that He chose little lambs, somet~ing very precious and dear to Adam and Eve. These lambs were killed. God took off their fig·leaves--and covered their bodies with the skins of those lambs. •

This involved the shedding of blood: They were horrlfiedf For the first time, _ was in the Garden of Eden. The friendship they once had with God wes now gone. He was no longer their spiritual Father. ·Hebrews 9:22, Levit\cus 17:11b

When He blasted the serpent for tricking Eve into eating the forbidden frun in the garden, God said to Satan... .. • "And I will pul enmily (war) between thee and the woman and between thy saed (thafs all of Satan's followers) and her seed; (Mure ... IsraeVJesus) and it (Jesus) shall bruise thy head, and thou shah bruise his heel: Genesis 3:15

I As you go through this book you will understand what that means. I , ~------------------~

Lefs go back to Cain, the firstbom on the earth. Eve thought that Cain would be the answer to all their problems.

I've gonen a man from the Lord.

11

No doubt, Adam and Eve spent hours complaining about whal happened in the Garden of Eden and whose fault n was:

It wasn't a. happy family, moaning about what it could have been like, if only they hadn't blown it.

Cain and Abel knew that lhe price for sinning was death and that they, had to kill something that never sinned. The lamb was the animal God chose.

Page 13: KING OF KINGS -  The Bible In Pictures

cain knew _ he was supposed to do. When R was time to oome before the Lord to offer his saaifioes, Gain

• Iried to puW a fast one. Instead of a lamb ...

12

. So AbelIJrouIthIIIe _Iamb he could find. God was pleased. Abel _, know that II would cost him hIa life. "Yea, and all thai will live godly In Chrlsl Jesus shall suffer persecution." 01 TImothy 3:12)

Page 14: KING OF KINGS -  The Bible In Pictures

Satan was furious with Abel! He hates any type of righteousness. Abel had become a real threat, and had to be stopped ...

.. . because Abel obeyed God instead

of Satan.

They obeyed instantly!

13

The perfect weapon that Satan used was Cain.

Satan was _ to use him becan" cain was already uptight thai God had put him down lor his 1_, sacrfflce. ~4:6, n

"And Cain talked with Abel , his brother. ....

(Genesis 4:8) They were alone ... Cain waited for just the right moment.

Page 15: KING OF KINGS -  The Bible In Pictures

Cain made the kill!

The Lord asked Cain, "Where is Abel, ,

thy broth:e;r?~"--,-::::,r.~ __ ,

~ InSlllted k Lord God of creation y,;th an armgant and sarcastic lie. He thought he was really something special. He was lull of pride. What an idlotl He had no raspect at all for authority.

14

He left the lifeless body of his kid brother lying in the field. Now Cain, the first·bom of the earth, was a murderer!

The Lord In HIs love and mercy, put up with Cain'. _Ilion.

What hast thou done?

And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened

her mouth to receive thy brother's blood fror:n thy hand.

Page 16: KING OF KINGS -  The Bible In Pictures

The sad thing was, Cain knew all about God!.. . and he knew what God expected. Cain was deeply religious because he even otfereQ a sacrifice to God.

Cain never said God didn't exist. He believed in God ... but Cain would not accept God's way. He woold not believe that the lamb must die and its blood be shed to satisfy God's anger over sin.

It offended Cain. He was a religious fool. Cain had his own religion and it was directed and twisted by Satan.

Enoch was 85 years old when his son was bom, and Ihat birth was so important that Enoch walked with God. His little son's name was called Methuselah, which meant "when he is dead, it (the flood) shall come." The Bible says Enoch didn't die ... God tool< him up alive into heaven. (Sse Gsn. 5:24) (Heb. 11:5)

Page 17: KING OF KINGS -  The Bible In Pictures

God found only one man who would obey Him and would have faith in what God said.

Noah wamed the people for many years, and to them it was one big joke.

16

Page 18: KING OF KINGS -  The Bible In Pictures

17

"And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and

. cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark. ~ Genesis 7:23

Page 19: KING OF KINGS -  The Bible In Pictures

Noah, his wife and his 3 sons, Ham, Shem and Japheth and their wives ...

were in the ark with the animals. The ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat· and the population explosion started up again.

*Genesis 8:4

Satan hated Noah because he was righteous. Satan found out that Noah's son, Ham, was weak. This is the one he worked through.

Ham looked upon his father's nakedness, and Noah put a curse on one of Ham's sons whose name was Canaan.

(Genesis 9:24, 25)

Ham had another son named Cush. Cush became the big men In politics. He married • beautiful woman named Semiramis, who became the Queen of Babylon. (See -Angel 01 light- Crusaders Volume IS. page 13).

This was the first United Nations building.

18

Page 20: KING OF KINGS -  The Bible In Pictures

God knew' what they were up to so the Lord came down to see the tower and the city they were building. God destroyed their unity by confusing their language.

Some groups went into Africa; others into Asia and Europe, etc. This is how the nations began.

19

No one understood what the other was saying. They went mad with frustration. Communication was a disaster.

Those who stayed behind in

the city of Babylon came under the

leadership of Satan's key man,

Nimrod." This became Satan's headquarters ... it

was the occult center of the wortd.

"Nimrod was the son of Cush and Semiramis ... later, Nimrod married his mother.

TIley had a thlnk~tank of evil. They were just as smart as any man alive today_ They planned a super-religion (without God) to control the populations of the world.

Many years later God put His finger on the only man He could trust ...

. His name was Abram. His home town was a religious mess. Sex was one of their gods. Satan was setting them up for hell.

God told Abram to get out and leave lis home· and go to a far coun1Jy.

, -Genesis 12:1 ....

God blessed him because of his obedience. And in time, he became rich* and powerful... qut he was far from home. "Genesis 13:2

Abram became so wealthy with gold, silver, cattle and sheep that he had a problem wKh his nephew, Lot. To stop their herdsmen from lighting aver tha pasture grass and water, they divided company and Lot "'-In the cIIiee 01 Sodorn and Gomonah.

"Sodomy comes from this word. .

The city of Sodom" was totally under Satan's confrol. The people had turned completely away from God. Satan had orderod his demons of homosexuaiKy to take . over almost everv man, woman, boy and girt, which they did. God cursed that population with minds that couldn~ tell the difference between good and eviL·· Satan's reward for. all those homosexuals was death and damnation for their rebellion against God.

21 "Reprobate mind (Romans 1 :28)

Page 23: KING OF KINGS -  The Bible In Pictures

God knew what was going on in the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. Every act,· every thought,·· and every word··· they said was being recorded ... just like today. Everything was being recorded for the day of judgment. "Matt. 10:26; "Psalm 94:11; ""Matt. 12:36

..,.at by their filthy behavior." Lot was the only straight person in the 'nil .. city. Sodom was But fimt, God had to get Lot out of there to protect him. 'II Peter 2:7.8

As soon as it was dark, the streets were filled with those homosexuals demanding that Lot send out the visitors so they could rape them.

Send them out that we might know them!

22

The angels bl inded the mob, so they finally gave up and went home.

Page 24: KING OF KINGS -  The Bible In Pictures

Right after that , the city was wiped out with fire and brimstone from heaven: Only three people made it out to safety. (A picture 'of the U.S. in the future?) It is estimated that over 10% of our population are homo· sexuals .. . and proud of it! God help us!

Page 25: KING OF KINGS -  The Bible In Pictures

Abram's wife, Saral, W88 really upast because the baby that God ptIII'IIiaed them hadn, come yet... so she came up with an idea to help God out. II she W88 too old to hale a baby, har maid could have the baby for her ... so she gave har Egyptian maid named Hagar to her husband 80 Abram and Hagar could produce the baby .. : and that's what they did. And we are paying for that act 01 rebellion today.

Hagar gave birth to Ishmael (the father of the Arabs) . Little did Sarai know that her act of sin would cause World War III

many years later. (But Satan did.)

-Isaac means ~Iaughter" because Abram and Sarai both laughed when God told them a baby was coming at their old age . .. Abraham means "father of llultitudes.B

.u Sarah means ~princess."

24

laaac God said to Abraham, "I will bless them that bless thee; and curse him that curseth thee.· (Gen. 12:3) This W88 _ted to Jacob. (Gen. 27:29b)

, This was their big chance to kill him.

They already had it planned, but their

oldest brother talked them out of it ... so

they threw Joseph into a deep pit instead.

25

Page 27: KING OF KINGS -  The Bible In Pictures

The caravan took Joseph down to Egypt and sold him to a very big man In the Egyptian anny.

God put Joseph into the house of this Egyptian. Everything Joseph touched made money for his ' master, both in his house and in his fields.

Two other men were also in prison because they had offended Pharaoh. They were his butler and his baker. They were afraid ...

Both had a draarn and Joseph told them what their dl88JnS meant the baker would be put to dsath and the butler would go back to serving Pharaoh. And n happened jusllhat way.

Joseph explained that tt meant that the world, including Egypt, would be hit by a horrible 7-yea, drought, but first there would be 7 good yeal'$ wtth plenty of com. He suggested that Phareoh put someone In charge of storing up the surplus com so that they could survive the coming drought. Even Pharaoh knew God was with Joseph. He put Joseph in oh~,ge of protecting Egypt and its economy.

That moming, he was a

prisoner. That evening he became the

rule' of Egypt. Pharaoh said

to him ...

"Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my

people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou."

(Gen. 41 :40)

to

If we cannot get corn .. . we shall surely die!

-

His brothers bowed down before him just like Joseph dreamed they would. They didn't know who he was. Joseph loved them and took care of them.

For these two years hath the famine been in the land: and ye~ there are five years, in the which there shall neither be earing nor harvest. And God

sent me before you to prase'lVa you a posterity in the earth, and

to save your lives QY a great deliverance . .

Joseph became"a savior for his people just like Jesus would become the Savior of the world .

So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and ha hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler through­out all the land of Egypt."

(Gen. 45:5-8)

27

Page 29: KING OF KINGS -  The Bible In Pictures

Remember Abraham? He 'was Joseph's great-grandfather. (See pages 20-24) The Bible tetls us that God gIMI Abraham a vtoion (a prophecy) that ssid: '". know of a 8UI8Iy that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land thalia Il0l_, and &hal _them; and they shall aftIicIthem lour hundred years." (Genesis 15:13)

(Now we will see how if came to pass . exacUy as God said it

Joseph had long s ince died. The children of Israel (the Jews) had muttiplied into about 3 million people. Egypt was worried about this exploding population . The new Pharaoh called it "his Jewish problem," and Pharaoh was taking orders from Satan . The children of Israel were made slaves of the Egyptians.

Satan was no dummy. He _ that at some point in time his deadliest enemy, Jesus, would leave heaven. and come to this planet and become a man. Satan _thai Jesus would be born In a Jewish home. So the only answer was for Satan 10 knock 011 the entire Israeli raoe" . which he _10 do in Egypt.

Satan oouldn' set up any abortion clinics for _ eo he tried the next best thing. He had Pharaoh order the midwives to murder the Jewish baby boye when they were born. The midwives were afraid of God and they refused 10 rntJ<der the baby boyS. So Pharaoh ordered the Jewish families to throw every _m baby boy into the River Nile so ho would drown. These were the miserable conditions going on in Egypt when Moses was born.

Satan directed Pharaoh to change his mind again and send his anny against the IsraelHes to clastroy them all In the wilderness.

The Israelites were blocked by the Red Sea and they could s~ the Egyptian army coming for the kill. The mob screamed at Moses that he had brought them out to have them slaughtered by Pharaoh's ar"lY. Three million complaining Israelites, all accusing, and now hating Moses. What a mess for Moses! Only God Almighty could save them now.

God worked a mighty miracle and the Red Sea was divided. This was their only chance for escape. Behind them was Pharaoh 's bloodthirsty army. The Israelites were scared to death. Before them were two gigantic walls of water and dry ground.

Note: For 3 million Israelites to cross over the Red Sea in one nlght* would require an opening large enough for 5,000 abreas~ to pass through. *Exodus 14

Now was the time for God's awful judgment on Pharaoh and his ·army. God moved the pillar. They drove like mad into the valley in the water, trying to catch the Israelites. The chariot wheels snapped - horses fell. The entire army was bogged down between two great walls of water and then ... the Lord Jesus commanded the waters to close. They did, and Egypt lost its king and its army in the churning sea.

Egypt was destroyed. The crops were gone, the economy wa!3 bankrupt because they had given the Israelites most of their gold and silver. All the firstbom were dead, (inclyding their flocks and herds) and all the mighty men of Egypt were gone. The government no longer existed. It was total disaster for Egypt. It never recovered. .

God had called His chosen people out of Egypt.. . they were to be a light to the world . Remember, the whole world was in spiritual darkness except for the Israelites. The evil religious system set up by Nimrod back in Babylon was now world-wide. Every nation or tribe on earth was into a form of devil ~orship as their organized religion. (Just like today.)

On Mt. Sinai, God gave Moses

commandments for the people of Israel to follow. He wanted a

Gomorrah ... they forgot about God.

·A wild sex party.

Thou shalt have no other gods before me! Thou shalt not steal.

Moses spent 40 nights and days with God up in the mountain, and then the Lord gave Moses laws for the children of Israel to protect them ... laws on how to live, what to eat, how to keep clean, how to sacrifice, and what was evil in the sight of the Lord. He wamed them not to inter-marry with other people or they would become corrupted both physically and spiritually. While Moses was up there, the children of Israel started worshipping one of the gods of Egypt.

Moses: came off the mountain and was outraged at their rebellion. The Lord was fed up with the people. He was ready to destroy Israel, but Moses begged God not to kill them, and GC?d held back His anger .

The lord was angry because the people refused to go in and take the land.

Note: We have seen a picture of God's people in the Old Testament, but they were also a snapshot 9f God"S people today. I am not talking about unbelieving and rebellious people who don't believe the Bible, or so-called Christian churches like Rome,* But Bible-believing, saved, born-again believers in Christ who are sending people to hell just by the :lypocritical, two-f~ced way they are living. We are as bad a witness to the world today, as the rebe1lious Jews were in the desert .. . there is no difference. Very seldom do you see a Christian who will obey God and be sold out to Christ. God forgive us! We will stand before Christ to give an answer for the rebeUious way we've lived:- See II Cor. 5:10

"Numbers 21 :5,8

brass serpent was a picture of Christ made sin for us in the future, on the cross.

At the end of 40 years, most of that rebellious and ungrateful generation who came out of Egypt was dead. MQses was now 120 years old. Even Moses blew it in an act of unbelief and rebellion himseH I so c;3od didn't let Moses into the Promised Land either. (See Numbers 20:11-13. Also Psalm 108:32, 33·1

Moses died, and now it was time for Joshua

to lead the second generation of Israelites into the Promised Land. They had becomean

and to clean it from idols and fatse gods:

"Deuteronomy 7:1-10

After the Israelites crossed over the River Jordan Joshua spent the rest of hi s life leading them in constant warfare with the inhabitants of the land . .

Jewish pigs ... we'll show you how to suffer!

the Lord would raise up men and women" who would lead them out of slavery and back to setVing the Lord again. As soon as IIlat leedar died, Israel would beclonJe _lious again.

The children of Israel didn't want God to rule them btJt demandad a king like 8111h. other nations.

So God gave them kings. Throughout !heir history only a very few of their leeders really

obeyed God.

Interesting note: Satan was so powerful that if he'd had his way, Israel would have !->eoome like the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. (Isaiah 1 :9)

Thank God for the small number of believers that are faithful. That is the only thing that holds back God's awful judgment. (Just like today.)

God made certain conditions in His laws ••• He said He would bless Israel if they obeyed Him •.. if not. they would suffer. (Read Leviticus, Chapter 26. You can almost see Hitler's Holocaust In that chapter.)

God finally gave them up and the Israelites were

carried to Babylon where they suffered for 70 years· before

a remnant went back to Jerusalem.

During this time God spoke to them through His prophets.

Master, what will you do to stop this?

Satan could not attack Mary or 'the baby, Jesus ... but he hatched up a plan to lie about Mary and, in the future, turn her into a goddess so billions of people would worship her* instead of the lord Jesus. ,t\nd Satan could take' them all to hell with him.

The moment Satan had dreaded finally comes. His rotten career is ended. He is cast into the lake of fire where the Beast and the False Prophet are. (Notice they are still alive after 1,000 years.)

WHERE DO YOU FIT INTO THIS PICTURE?

Did you know that everything you've ever said, or done , or thought has been recorded?

Matthew 12:36 Romans 2:16 Luke 12:2, 3

The Bible says, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." (His glory is His excellence or perfection)

That means your good works' don't count. "Ephesians 2:8, 9, 10 and Titus 3:5

THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY FOR GOD TO PASS OVER YOU ON THAT AWFUL DAY OF JUDGMENT. If you have received Jesus into your heart and believe that He died for you on the cross, shedding His blood to wash away your sins - if you really believe that.. then that blood covers your sins forever and washes you clean. And God sees thai blood· covering you and He passes over you on the day of judgment, and you are saved from being cast into the lake of fi re. *1 Peter 1 :18, 19

How do you get that protection of the blood of Christ? It doesn't come by leading a good life , or being kind, or going to church, or loving your mother, or country" ... or by long prayers, or praying to saints, etc. If you are counting on that, then you will end up as another religious sinner in hell with Satan! 'Isaiah 64:6

The Bible shows us there is only ONE way into heaven ... and rebels will not accept it,

Only those who repent, surrender their lives and their will to Christ will reign with Him in glory.

THE BIBLE SAYS THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY TO HEAVEN! Jesus said, "1 am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14:6

NOBODY ELSE CAN SAVE YOU. TRUST JESUS TODA YI

''That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him rrom the dead, thou shalt be saved," Rom. 10:9

1. Admit you are a sinner. See Romans 3:10 2. Be willing to tum from sin (repent). See Acts 17:30 3. Believe that Jesus Christ died for you , was bur"led

and rose from the dead. See Rom. 10:9-10 4. Through prayer, invite Jesus into your life to

Jesus Christ better. 2.Talk to God in prayer every day. 3.Be baptized, worship , fellowship, and serve
