Are you ready for paradise?

Well, what a question.

My guest today has written a book called The Paradise of God.

He's Dr. Larry Allison.

Welcome to Prophecy Watchers.

It's an honor to be here.

Your book, The Paradise of God, holding a copy right here,

goes according to a wonderful outline, beginning in the ages past, the sin problem, which has to be

fully understood before you can understand how to cure that problem.

That's true.

And you go into a systematic coverage of what we're doing here, where we're headed, that is

to say if we want to be headed in the right direction.

What I want to do today is talk to you basically anecdotally. You are a Bible

teacher. Now I've watched a lot of your DVDs and you are what I call a natural. And you

love to teach the word. And when you're telling somebody about paradise, where do you start?

Well, you have to start at the beginning. In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

And he created the earth, but he created heavens. And in those heavens was a place where

other creations were. And that's where Lucifer was. He was in the Garden of God.

And of course, you know, that didn't work out too well for him, and he was cast down.

He tempted Eve, Adam sinned, and from that point on, God put into motion his plan that he knew from the beginning to redeem his ultimate creation, the body of Christ, the church.

That's us.

Now you mentioned Lucifer, and Lucifer appears as the fallen one.
