Bible study 3
If you are searching for God, your first thought when I say “test the source” should be, “And what about you? Am I to test you as well?” Yes. You are commanded to test even me. You are the check on the one who teaches you. I am not above testing.
Many speak of being “a light on a hill,” yet when a question comes that they cannot answer, they hide in the dark. A true light on a hill does not mean the person is infallible; it means they are obedient to the law and willing to be corrected. I am not only telling you to test the math—I am showing you how to test it.
I have worked through these questions for thirty-three years; most objections have already been answered, yet I remain under the same government of God as you. Every question must be brought under the law and the math (Isaiah 28). When something is missing or mistaken, we test it together, and by obedience God gives the understanding. Correction is not rebellion—it is obedience. When you find an error, you do not put out the light; you strengthen the witness.
Cue Card — Teaching Notes
- Theme: “Test the source—start with me.”
- Authority: Only God is infallible. I am under testing too.
- Light on a hill: Not perfection — obedience and openness to correction.
- Method: I show you how to test the math (Isa 28).
- Government of God: Every question comes under the law and math.
- Correction = obedience: Finding a flaw strengthens, not weakens, the witness.
The Method Is as Important as the Message
The method of finding truth is as important—perhaps even more important—than the content itself. Genesis 3:24 is the perfect verse to reveal the formula Isaiah 28 is laying out for us. This verse is also the perfect test verse because, unlike most verses in the Bible, the entire formula is contained within it. That is why Genesis 3:24 is the test verse of the Bible: you must apply the full formula to gain understanding.
The world does not have this formula, and that is why it failed the test. They skipped the order God established in Isaiah 28—precept upon precept, line upon line—and went straight to human interpretation. Without the divine method, truth cannot be reached. The method is what keeps the student within the government of God; the content alone can be twisted, but the method cannot be broken.
Cue Card — Teaching Notes
- Main point: The method of study (Isa 28) = the law that protects truth.
- Example verse: Genesis 3:24 — the test verse of the entire Bible.
- Why it’s unique: Requires the whole formula, not one precept alone.
- World’s failure: They had content but not the method → confusion.
- Obedience: Following the formula keeps us under God’s government.
- Summary: Truth without the method becomes deception; method with truth becomes law.
God’s Test Does Not Change — Logic vs. Idea, Logic vs. Math
God does not change. The test of Adam is the same test on us today: Will we eat from the tree of knowledge and make our own knowledge, or will we obey the math God gave and let Him give us understanding? Let’s take this one step at a time.
Genesis 3:24 is perfect to show the difference between logic and an idea, and then between logic and math. It is logical to conclude, “The Holy Spirit is cut off in Genesis 3:24,” because the Pure River is no longer accessible in the garden scene. That is a logical first impression.
But stop here. I promised to prove all things: logic is the starting point of math; logic is not an idea—and logic is not yet math. One verse is not math. Math requires more than one precept—the witnesses and the structure of Isaiah 28.
So yes, it is logical to suspect, “The Spirit is cut off,” from Genesis 3:24. That leaves us with the crucial question that proves logic is only the start: Does logic send us to the correct math?
Not necessarily. Logic sends us to math, but it does not guarantee we have the right math. We must return to Isaiah 28. Isaiah 28 shows that the Bible’s math serves two opposite functions:
- to give understanding to the obedient, and
- to become a snare to the disobedient.
Therefore, logic will press us toward math—but depending on our obedience, we will either arrive at the math that reveals or the math that tests. In this verse, we will see exactly that test at work.
Cue Card — Teaching Notes
- Unchanging test: Adam’s test is ours—self-made knowledge vs. obedient math.
- Gen 3:24 = lab bench: First logic, then math (don’t confuse them).
- Logical first read: Pure River inaccessible → “Spirit cut off?” (logical suspicion).
- Rule: One verse ≠ math. Need witnesses (Isa 28).
- Key question: Does logic lead to the right math? Not automatically.
- Isa 28’s two edges: Obedience → understanding; disobedience → snare.
- Set-up: This verse will show the test operating.
Logic Brings the Test — the Prophets and the Holy Spirit
Logic takes us to the next precept: the prophets had the Holy Spirit.
Now the question appears—if the Holy Spirit was cut off in Genesis 3:24, how did the prophets have it?
Here is where the test begins and where an idea parts company with math.
There is no answer in Scripture that allows for the prophets to have the Holy Spirit if it were truly cut off in Genesis 3:24. You are out of math at that point—without witnesses, without structure.
This is the moment of choice:
Will you follow logic to its next precept, or will you turn logic into your own idea?
Logic can lead you to the correct math, but it cannot replace it. Logic’s role is to show that something is missing in your understanding, not to fill in the missing piece itself.
So what does logic tell us here?
It tells us the conclusion “the Holy Spirit was cut off” fails the test, because it leaves no mathematical path for the Spirit to appear again in the Old Testament. The only way forward is to admit that something has been missed in Genesis 3:24 and return to the Word to find it. That is obedience—the very act of allowing logic to send you back to God’s math rather than building your own.
Cue Card — Teaching Notes
- Logic → next precept: Prophets had the Holy Spirit.
- Conflict: If Spirit was cut off, prophets couldn’t have it → no math, no path.
- Definition: Logic ≠ math; it only reveals what’s missing.
- The test: Follow logic back to Scripture (obedience) or create your own idea (disobedience).
- Verdict: “Spirit cut off” fails math—no witnesses, no continuity.
- Lesson: Logic points us back to God’s structure, never away from it.
When Logic Is Replaced by an Idea — The Fall of Modern Doctrine
When the Catholic and Protestant world reached this point, they stood at the same crossroads: the logic revealed a gap they could not explain.
Instead of following that logic back to Scripture to see what was missed, they turned the logic into their own idea.
They saw the Holy Spirit working in the Old Testament but could not explain how the Spirit was there if it had been cut off in Genesis 3:24.
Rather than admitting they had missed something, they took God’s authority upon themselves and declared, “It is not important for us to know.”
By doing so, they ate again from the Tree of Knowledge—deciding for themselves what mattered and what did not—and by their own authority they wrote a new law: “This is not important.”
I once asked a Protestant minister about this. His answer was, “God gave the prophets a path.”
So I asked, “What was that path?”
He said, “I don’t know—God just gave them a path.”
That is not knowledge.
That is not logic.
That is an idea—a man-made patch to cover a broken equation.
The moment a teacher does that, he leaves the government of God and replaces math with imagination. that is the reason the protestant failed the test they ate of the tree.
Cue Card — Teaching Notes
- Crossroad: Logic exposes the gap; world religions filled it with ideas.
- Observation: Spirit seen in OT → no math explaining how → failure of logic.
- Response: “Not important” = taking God’s authority to themselves.
- Symbolism: Eating again from the Tree of Knowledge — man decides truth.
- Example: Protestant answer: “God gave them a path.” → no definition, no proof.
- Verdict: Idea ≠ logic. Idea = human authority.
- Lesson: When logic reveals a gap, obedience returns to Scripture; pride invents an idea.
The Second Path: From Idea to a New “god”
Now we address the next idea. This teacher reached the same wall—seeing the Holy Spirit at work in the Old Testament without any path to explain how. But instead of returning to Scripture, he did more than eat of the tree and turn logic into his own idea—he made a new “god” in his own image.
He twisted two verses to give his claim merit and then declared, “God made an exception to His law and brought the prophets under the New Covenant.” After that, he moved quickly and hoped no one would notice.
But slow down. If God “made an exception” and brought the prophets under the New Covenant, then the prophets would have had a relationship with the Father. They did not. And Scripture is explicit:
John 14:6 — “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
If the prophets were under the New Covenant before Christ’s sacrifice, then there is another way to the Father. That denies the cross and contradicts the Word. When asked to explain this, the ministry has no lawful answer; they simply hide and hope their members never test it.
Thus, the only two modern approaches to Genesis 3:24—
- omission (skip the logic and say “not important”), and
- invention (God made exceptions; prophets under the NC)—
both ate of the tree and made knowledge their own. This is why the world failed the test verse.
Let us do what almost no one has done in modern times: refuse to turn logic into our own idea; refuse to eat from the tree. We will follow logic back to the math. Logic has done its job: it showed that our first conclusion about Genesis 3:24 was wrong. Now, instead of falling into the snare, we will return to Genesis 3:24 and find what we missed.
Cue Card — Teaching Notes
- Setup: Same wall as before—Spirit seen in OT, no path → instead of returning, a new “god” is made
- Claim exposed: “God made exceptions; prophets under NC.”
- Test: If so, prophets had a Father relationship → but John 14:6 forbids any path to the Father except Christ
- Verdict: This idea denies the cross; no lawful answer → hiding replaces proof
- Two modern paths: Omission (skip) + Invention (exceptions) = both ate of the tree
- Our resolve: Don’t invent; follow logic back to math
- Transition: Return to Genesis 3:24 to see what we missed.
The Test of True Obedience
Matthew 7:21
“Not everyone that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he that doeth the will of My Father which is in Heaven.”
Before we follow the law back to Genesis 3:24, we must face the greatest and most dangerous deception on the path to salvation: the belief that God rules through man, rather than God rules, and man obeys.
This deception says that as long as we are spiritual—as long as we believe in God—we will be accepted. Yet Christ’s own words declare the opposite. The Kingdom of God is not built on belief alone but on doing the will of the Father.
The word belief means to be confident in what one holds to be true. But what builds that confidence? If our confidence rests in grace alone without obedience, then our confidence is misplaced. That idea—the notion that grace without obedience is enough—is the root of this great deception.
Christ warned that many would call Him “Lord” yet follow a lie. When a person believes a lie, even if they use Christ’s name, they are following Satan’s version of truth. Thus, they are calling Christ “Lord” while obeying another master.
Ephesians 6:12
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
People look at God as a mystery — and that is exactly what Satan has designed. He hides the truth behind a cloud of mystery so that mankind never reaches the bottom line of math, where every lie dies. Satan understands that deception cannot survive at the bottom line, because the bottom line exposes contradiction, and contradiction cannot exist in truth.
The people of this world will not be judged on the high level of understanding that is about to be revealed; they will be judged by the bottom line — the level of obedience and logic that even a child can see. This is why Christ said, “Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 18:3) The childlike heart does not hide behind ideas; it seeks what is true.
At judgment, every person will stand before the Judge, and every lie will face mathematical cross-examination. Yet the churches of this world, even many who claim God’s name, have already written their defense. They have created a man-made god who makes exceptions to His own law. When they cannot explain something — such as how Abraham was righteous before Christ’s sacrifice — they blame God instead of themselves.
Their reasoning is this: “God did not reveal that answer to our apostle; therefore, it must not be important for our salvation.” That is how the human mind escapes conviction. Instead of admitting disobedience to Isaiah 28’s command to search, line upon line, they rewrite God’s character to justify their ignorance.
This is why Paul warned that our struggle is not against flesh and blood. It is not merely the ministers, churches, or systems we see — it is the spiritual power that operates through false reasoning. When a person accepts an idea that contradicts the law and refuses to test it by the math of Isaiah 28, they have already submitted to another government — the government of darkness. Satan’s principalities work through deception that appears religious, wise, or humble, yet its purpose is to keep the mind from ever reaching the bottom line where truth exposes the lie.
This is the essence of “spiritual wickedness in high places.” These “high places” are not in Heaven but in the minds of men who elevate their own ideas above the Word of God. They turn logic into imagination and then call that imagination revelation. Once that happens, the structure of Isaiah 28 collapses: precept no longer connects to precept, line no longer joins to line, and the entire foundation becomes a snare. That is how the rulers of darkness maintain control — not by open rebellion, but by teaching God’s people to accept ideas that cannot be proven by the math of the Bible.
The Judgment at the Bottom Line
The idea that grace alone leads to salvation is one of the greatest deceptions ever created. It claims that through grace without works, God reveals knowledge directly — that if understanding is missing, it must be because God withheld it, not because of personal disobedience. This places the fault of ignorance on God instead of on man’s failure to seek, and in doing so, it reverses judgment: man becomes the judge, and God becomes the one on trial.
But the bottom line of math destroys this argument completely. God is not the God of grace alone; He is the God of works with grace. Satan is the god of grace without works, because that path removes accountability and allows the lie to survive.
In the final trial, their argument will never reach Abraham. Christ will stop the case long before that point because the verdict was already sealed at the bottom line. When they declared the Holy Spirit was cut off in Genesis 3:24 and then refused to explain how the prophets received it, they chose their own god, their own plan of salvation, and their own law. They created a god who allows exceptions to His Word — a god of comfort, not correction.
Then Christ will speak as Judge:
“I am not the God of grace alone, but the God of works with grace. I do not reveal knowledge to one man by favor alone, but by obedience to the method I set forth — precept upon precept, line upon line. You rejected My government, My law, and My structure. You refused to do the works of searching, testing, and proving. You turned the grace I gave you into an excuse to remain blind.”
At that point, just as He did with Adam, God will take them to the bottom line and show them the truth they avoided. He will remind them they knew there was no path for the prophets to have the Holy Spirit if it had been cut off in Genesis 3:24. They will see that they skipped the truth, wrote their own version of salvation, and turned away from His way of life to follow Satan’s.
Works With Grace — The True New Covenant
Then God will explain the meaning of works with grace. It was never about earning salvation by human strength — it was about submitting to the structure that allows grace to work. Grace is the gift that opens the door; works are the steps that walk through it. The law defines those steps, and the Holy Spirit gives the power to take them. Without the law, grace becomes lawless; without grace, the law becomes lifeless. But when the two work together, the Spirit flows as it did in the Garden, giving both understanding and life.
Closing Reflection
Let us be obedient and follow the logic all the way to the true math. We have already followed the logic far enough to find the snare. Now we understand Isaiah 28: that logic is the beginning of math, but only obedience brings understanding. Logic led us to the snare; math revealed it to have understanding we must also know the snare. From here forward, every precept we add must stand the test of God’s structure—precept upon precept, line upon line—until the full math of the Kingdom is revealed.
Returning to the Verse by Obedience
I keep saying we are going to go to Genesis 3:24, but what is being revealed here is more than the verse itself—it is the method of the math. We are not going back to Genesis 3:24 by our own authority. Our human reasoning already concluded that the Holy Spirit was cut off because man was removed from the Garden and the Pure River was in the Garden. That was our authority. There is nothing wrong with starting there, because now we are going to test that authority by the next precept—the prophets.
When we saw that there was no path for the prophets to have the Holy Spirit if it were truly cut off, we had to turn that authority back to God. We are not returning to Genesis 3:24 by intelligence but by obedience. Since the math failed with the prophets, we return to logic—not to invent an idea, but to find what we missed. Logic now tells us we must have overlooked something in Genesis 3:24.
Deu 4:29 But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.
This is why the Bible is written in mysteries. It is not a textbook to make us doctors or lawyers. God is not only teaching knowledge—He is teaching method, because method produces character. The perfection of God’s method is greater than our understanding of perfection itself. To overcome sin, we must put away the nature of man and put on the nature of God. Only obedience allows that transformation to happen.
This is why Genesis 3:24 God set as the test verse of the Bible it contains the full formula of biblical math. Obedience reveals what the world’s disobedience has hidden. In one verse, God shows how both understanding and blindness are determined—not by intellect, but by submission to His structure. The first mystery is the understanding of the structure God has set that is the reason ISa. 28 is the starting part of the Bible not Genesis. We have the structure of Isa, to understand how to learn, then we find the mystery of Genesis.This is the math of the mysteries.
On Translation and Hidden Understanding
One of the great obstacles to uncovering the mysteries of Scripture is translation itself. Most Bible translators are not intentionally deceptive—they simply follow a method that is subjective by design. They often consult a concordance, find the first word that seems to fit the context, and move on. The problem is that the concordance entry is itself an interpretation, not an exact equation of meaning.
This is why the Bible’s math must always confirm the wording. If a translation produces contradiction, that contradiction is not failure—it is gold. The Bible does not contradict itself. When a verse appears to conflict with another, it signals that a deeper layer of understanding is hidden beneath the surface. That is where the true math begins.
The Division in Translation
The people who prepare the concordances usually understand the meanings of the original words; the translators who render the text into another language often do not. They depend on the concordance, selecting the first word that seems to make sense in the sentence. What you end up with is two hands working—one not knowing what the other is doing. The concordance provides meaning; the translation provides assumption.
Now that both logic and math have sent us back to Genesis 3:24, we already know that the surface reading cannot be correct. The literal interpretation produces a contradiction: if the Holy Spirit was cut off in this verse, then the prophets could not have had the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament—and yet we know they did.
That contradiction means only one thing: we have to go deeper. The next step of the math is to look up the meaning of every word in the verse, allowing Scripture to define itself rather than letting human translators do it.
Cue Card — Step 1 in the Word Study of Genesis 3:24
Title: “The Two Hands of Translation and the Return to the Verse”
Main Idea:
- Concordance compilers understand Hebrew and Greek meaning; translators often only select the first word that fits the sentence.
- This creates two hands working separately—one with meaning, the other with assumption.
- Because logic and math exposed a contradiction, we must now go beneath the translation layer and test every word in Genesis 3:24
Transition Verse:
Genesis 3:24 – “So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.”
Teaching Direction:
- Read the verse aloud slowly.
- Note the contradiction already proven – the Spirit cannot be both “cut off” and “present with the prophets.”
- Announce the new task: “We will now examine every key Hebrew word in this verse to locate what was missed.”
Main Verse:
Genesis 3:24 – “…and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.”
Word Focus – “Flaming” (לַהַט / lahat)
- Strong’s Definition: From H3857; a blaze; also (from the idea of enwrapping) magic (as covert): flaming, enchantment, spells.
- Insight: This word changes everything. God does not use enchantment, spells, or magic.
Those belong only to Satan and his demons
The Breakthrough
When we apply the math and logic of Isaiah 28, we find what has been hidden for more than 1,600 years:
The “flaming” here is not God’s fire but the illusion of light — the counterfeit flame of Satan.
Every translation since has kept the surface image:
A physical angel standing before a physical garden with a physical sword guarding a symbolic tree.
That image breaks all logic and fails the math.
It means the translators — and the world that followed them — never used Isaiah 28’s formula.
Teaching Point
When I say, “You did not know how to learn,” I’m not insulting anyone’s intelligence — I’m describing a process.
You are now learning with God’s structure. The difference is not intellect, but obedience.
It is not about how smart a person is, but whether they will follow God’s math or their own imagination.
Now this is too big so we have to follow Isa. 28 and find a second witness. That is what is so amazing about this word. The Bible always promises two witnesses here; the Bible separates this word from all the other words in the Bible. This word is only used two times in the Bible fulfilling the two witness promise then does not use the word again in the whole Bible taking away any confusion of what this word means. Then God shows the difference in the way God works and the way Satan works..Here is your second witness.
Exo 7:11 Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments. The word enchantment is the same word translated flaming in Gen. 3:24. The Bible defines this word by only using the word two times so all confusion is taken away, and then given an example of the way God works and the way Satan works
Exo 7:10 And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as the LORD had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
Exo 7:11 Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.
Exo 7:12 For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods.
The word sword means a weapon, it not only means a physical sword. Throughout the bible the word sword is used with a physical (literal) and spiritual (symbolic) meaning.
Eph 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
There are many examples here, just one to fulfill the two witness requirements.Look at what the math did? The math determined this verse should be translated literally or symbolically. This is a spiritual weapon of enchantment and magic; it is not a physical sword. The Bible defines that God set this angel up and defines which angel God set up. The Bible calls Satan the prince of the power of the air, and the ruler of the earth. However God set Satan in office but the Bible does not show God setting Satan in office.
Yes the Bible does Genesis 3:24 is where God set Satan in office. Now this changes everything Satan is not set up to guard a symbolic tree. The word flaming changes everything to a spiritual meaning. This is the last time in teh Bible a physical garden in the garden. Adam being removed is the last mention of a physical garden. Satan is set up over the spiritual garden of man’s mind.
This changes everything and it is on the bottom line where no deception can survive. I had one of Satan’s messengers try to use deception against this and here is how that went. He said yes the word can mean enchantment but the main meaning of this word means fire. I told him no the word fire is not in the words definition. The word God uses for the fire of God is used over 300 times in the Bible. The word means a flaming in the sense of a blaze of inwrapping of an enchantment. The word cannot mean fire. He looked down and said he did not want to talk about it and walk away. Here we have a minister using deception and caught doing so with nothing else to say with his job being speaking about the word of God he did not want to talk about it anymore now deception had been revealed.
This changes everything in the next Bible I will show just how much it does change. Then we will go back and get rid of the satan image of human talking to animals and the fire breathing dragon.
What the Math Reveals
By the rules of Isaiah 28, the math determines whether a verse is literal or symbolic.
Here, both words — flaming and sword — are spiritual.
The result is not a physical angel with a physical weapon but a spiritual structure of authority.
- “Flaming” = enchantment, illusion, counterfeit light
- “Sword” = weapon of power or authority
- Together, this forms a spiritual weapon of enchantment — a system of deception.
The Hidden Appointment
The Bible calls Satan:
- “The prince of the power of the air” (Ephesians 2:2)
- “The ruler of this world” (John 12:31)
But the Bible never shows where God sets him in that office — until now.
Genesis 3:24 is that moment.
Here, God sets Satan in office over the spiritual garden — the realm of the human mind.
This is not about a physical garden or a physical tree.
It marks the transition from physical Eden to the spiritual system of mankind’s test.
The Bottom Line
When confronted, a minister once tried to deny this by claiming:
“Yes, lahat can mean enchantment, but its main meaning is fire.”
But that is false. The Hebrew definition contains no word for fire.
The word for God’s fire (esh) appears over 300 times — and this is not it.
The truth exposed the deception instantly.
He looked down, had nothing left to say, and walked away.
When light reaches the bottom line, deception cannot survive.
Transition
This changes everything.
In the next Bible study, we will show exactly how much it changes —
removing Satan’s false image of talking animals, dragons, and fables,
and restoring the spiritual structure of Genesis as God wrote it.
If you are searching for God, your first thought when I say “test the source” should be, “And what about you? Am I to test you as well?” Yes. You are commanded to test even me. You are the check on the one who teaches you. I am not above testing.
Many speak of being “a light on a hill,” yet when a question comes that they cannot answer, they hide in the dark. A true light on a hill does not mean the person is infallible; it means they are obedient to the law and willing to be corrected. I am not only telling you to test the math—I am showing you how to test it.
I have worked through these questions for thirty-three years; most objections have already been answered, yet I remain under the same government of God as you. Every question must be brought under the law and the math (Isaiah 28). When something is missing or mistaken, we test it together, and by obedience God gives the understanding. Correction is not rebellion—it is obedience. When you find an error, you do not put out the light; you strengthen the witness.
Cue Card — Teaching Notes
- Theme: “Test the source—start with me.”
- Authority: Only God is infallible. I am under testing too.
- Light on a hill: Not perfection — obedience and openness to correction.
- Method: I show you how to test the math (Isa 28).
- Government of God: Every question comes under the law and math.
- Correction = obedience: Finding a flaw strengthens, not weakens, the witness.
The Method Is as Important as the Message
The method of finding truth is as important—perhaps even more important—than the content itself. Genesis 3:24 is the perfect verse to reveal the formula Isaiah 28 is laying out for us. This verse is also the perfect test verse because, unlike most verses in the Bible, the entire formula is contained within it. That is why Genesis 3:24 is the test verse of the Bible: you must apply the full formula to gain understanding.
The world does not have this formula, and that is why it failed the test. They skipped the order God established in Isaiah 28—precept upon precept, line upon line—and went straight to human interpretation. Without the divine method, truth cannot be reached. The method is what keeps the student within the government of God; the content alone can be twisted, but the method cannot be broken.
Cue Card — Teaching Notes
- Main point: The method of study (Isa 28) = the law that protects truth.
- Example verse: Genesis 3:24 — the test verse of the entire Bible.
- Why it’s unique: Requires the whole formula, not one precept alone.
- World’s failure: They had content but not the method → confusion.
- Obedience: Following the formula keeps us under God’s government.
- Summary: Truth without the method becomes deception; method with truth becomes law.
God’s Test Does Not Change — Logic vs. Idea, Logic vs. Math
God does not change. The test of Adam is the same test on us today: Will we eat from the tree of knowledge and make our own knowledge, or will we obey the math God gave and let Him give us understanding? Let’s take this one step at a time.
Genesis 3:24 is perfect to show the difference between logic and an idea, and then between logic and math. It is logical to conclude, “The Holy Spirit is cut off in Genesis 3:24,” because the Pure River is no longer accessible in the garden scene. That is a logical first impression.
But stop here. I promised to prove all things: logic is the starting point of math; logic is not an idea—and logic is not yet math. One verse is not math. Math requires more than one precept—the witnesses and the structure of Isaiah 28.
So yes, it is logical to suspect, “The Spirit is cut off,” from Genesis 3:24. That leaves us with the crucial question that proves logic is only the start: Does logic send us to the correct math?
Not necessarily. Logic sends us to math, but it does not guarantee we have the right math. We must return to Isaiah 28. Isaiah 28 shows that the Bible’s math serves two opposite functions:
- to give understanding to the obedient, and
- to become a snare to the disobedient.
Therefore, logic will press us toward math—but depending on our obedience, we will either arrive at the math that reveals or the math that tests. In this verse, we will see exactly that test at work.
Cue Card — Teaching Notes
- Unchanging test: Adam’s test is ours—self-made knowledge vs. obedient math.
- Gen 3:24 = lab bench: First logic, then math (don’t confuse them).
- Logical first read: Pure River inaccessible → “Spirit cut off?” (logical suspicion).
- Rule: One verse ≠ math. Need witnesses (Isa 28).
- Key question: Does logic lead to the right math? Not automatically.
- Isa 28’s two edges: Obedience → understanding; disobedience → snare.
- Set-up: This verse will show the test operating.
Logic Brings the Test — the Prophets and the Holy Spirit
Logic takes us to the next precept: the prophets had the Holy Spirit.
Now the question appears—if the Holy Spirit was cut off in Genesis 3:24, how did the prophets have it?
Here is where the test begins and where an idea parts company with math.
There is no answer in Scripture that allows for the prophets to have the Holy Spirit if it were truly cut off in Genesis 3:24. You are out of math at that point—without witnesses, without structure.
This is the moment of choice:
Will you follow logic to its next precept, or will you turn logic into your own idea?
Logic can lead you to the correct math, but it cannot replace it. Logic’s role is to show that something is missing in your understanding, not to fill in the missing piece itself.
So what does logic tell us here?
It tells us the conclusion “the Holy Spirit was cut off” fails the test, because it leaves no mathematical path for the Spirit to appear again in the Old Testament. The only way forward is to admit that something has been missed in Genesis 3:24 and return to the Word to find it. That is obedience—the very act of allowing logic to send you back to God’s math rather than building your own.
Cue Card — Teaching Notes
- Logic → next precept: Prophets had the Holy Spirit.
- Conflict: If Spirit was cut off, prophets couldn’t have it → no math, no path.
- Definition: Logic ≠ math; it only reveals what’s missing.
- The test: Follow logic back to Scripture (obedience) or create your own idea (disobedience).
- Verdict: “Spirit cut off” fails math—no witnesses, no continuity.
- Lesson: Logic points us back to God’s structure, never away from it.
When Logic Is Replaced by an Idea — The Fall of Modern Doctrine
When the Catholic and Protestant world reached this point, they stood at the same crossroads: the logic revealed a gap they could not explain.
Instead of following that logic back to Scripture to see what was missed, they turned the logic into their own idea.
They saw the Holy Spirit working in the Old Testament but could not explain how the Spirit was there if it had been cut off in Genesis 3:24.
Rather than admitting they had missed something, they took God’s authority upon themselves and declared, “It is not important for us to know.”
By doing so, they ate again from the Tree of Knowledge—deciding for themselves what mattered and what did not—and by their own authority they wrote a new law: “This is not important.”
I once asked a Protestant minister about this. His answer was, “God gave the prophets a path.”
So I asked, “What was that path?”
He said, “I don’t know—God just gave them a path.”
That is not knowledge.
That is not logic.
That is an idea—a man-made patch to cover a broken equation.
The moment a teacher does that, he leaves the government of God and replaces math with imagination. that is the reason the protestant failed the test they ate of the tree.
Cue Card — Teaching Notes
- Crossroad: Logic exposes the gap; world religions filled it with ideas.
- Observation: Spirit seen in OT → no math explaining how → failure of logic.
- Response: “Not important” = taking God’s authority to themselves.
- Symbolism: Eating again from the Tree of Knowledge — man decides truth.
- Example: Protestant answer: “God gave them a path.” → no definition, no proof.
- Verdict: Idea ≠ logic. Idea = human authority.
- Lesson: When logic reveals a gap, obedience returns to Scripture; pride invents an idea.
The Second Path: From Idea to a New “god”
Now we address the next idea. This teacher reached the same wall—seeing the Holy Spirit at work in the Old Testament without any path to explain how. But instead of returning to Scripture, he did more than eat of the tree and turn logic into his own idea—he made a new “god” in his own image.
He twisted two verses to give his claim merit and then declared, “God made an exception to His law and brought the prophets under the New Covenant.” After that, he moved quickly and hoped no one would notice.
But slow down. If God “made an exception” and brought the prophets under the New Covenant, then the prophets would have had a relationship with the Father. They did not. And Scripture is explicit:
John 14:6 — “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
If the prophets were under the New Covenant before Christ’s sacrifice, then there is another way to the Father. That denies the cross and contradicts the Word. When asked to explain this, the ministry has no lawful answer; they simply hide and hope their members never test it.
Thus, the only two modern approaches to Genesis 3:24—
- omission (skip the logic and say “not important”), and
- invention (God made exceptions; prophets under the NC)—
both ate of the tree and made knowledge their own. This is why the world failed the test verse.
Let us do what almost no one has done in modern times: refuse to turn logic into our own idea; refuse to eat from the tree. We will follow logic back to the math. Logic has done its job: it showed that our first conclusion about Genesis 3:24 was wrong. Now, instead of falling into the snare, we will return to Genesis 3:24 and find what we missed.
Cue Card — Teaching Notes
- Setup: Same wall as before—Spirit seen in OT, no path → instead of returning, a new “god” is made.
- Claim exposed: “God made exceptions; prophets under NC.”
- Test: If so, prophets had a Father relationship → but John 14:6 forbids any path to the Father except Christ.
- Verdict: This idea denies the cross; no lawful answer → hiding replaces proof.
- Two modern paths: Omission (skip) + Invention (exceptions) = both ate of the tree.
- Our resolve: Don’t invent; follow logic back to math.
- Transition: Return to Genesis 3:24 to see what we missed.
The Test of True Obedience
Matthew 7:21
“Not everyone that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he that doeth the will of My Father which is in Heaven.”
Before we follow the law back to Genesis 3:24, we must face the greatest and most dangerous deception on the path to salvation: the belief that God rules through man, rather than God rules, and man obeys.
This deception says that as long as we are spiritual—as long as we believe in God—we will be accepted. Yet Christ’s own words declare the opposite. The Kingdom of God is not built on belief alone but on doing the will of the Father.
The word belief means to be confident in what one holds to be true. But what builds that confidence? If our confidence rests in grace alone without obedience, then our confidence is misplaced. That idea—the notion that grace without obedience is enough—is the root of this great deception.
Christ warned that many would call Him “Lord” yet follow a lie. When a person believes a lie, even if they use Christ’s name, they are following Satan’s version of truth. Thus, they are calling Christ “Lord” while obeying another master.
Ephesians 6:12
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
People look at God as a mystery — and that is exactly what Satan has designed. He hides the truth behind a cloud of mystery so that mankind never reaches the bottom line of math, where every lie dies. Satan understands that deception cannot survive at the bottom line, because the bottom line exposes contradiction, and contradiction cannot exist in truth.
The people of this world will not be judged on the high level of understanding that is about to be revealed; they will be judged by the bottom line — the level of obedience and logic that even a child can see. This is why Christ said, “Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 18:3) The childlike heart does not hide behind ideas; it seeks what is true.
At judgment, every person will stand before the Judge, and every lie will face mathematical cross-examination. Yet the churches of this world, even many who claim God’s name, have already written their defense. They have created a man-made god who makes exceptions to His own law. When they cannot explain something — such as how Abraham was righteous before Christ’s sacrifice — they blame God instead of themselves.
Their reasoning is this: “God did not reveal that answer to our apostle; therefore, it must not be important for our salvation.” That is how the human mind escapes conviction. Instead of admitting disobedience to Isaiah 28’s command to search, line upon line, they rewrite God’s character to justify their ignorance.
This is why Paul warned that our struggle is not against flesh and blood. It is not merely the ministers, churches, or systems we see — it is the spiritual power that operates through false reasoning. When a person accepts an idea that contradicts the law and refuses to test it by the math of Isaiah 28, they have already submitted to another government — the government of darkness. Satan’s principalities work through deception that appears religious, wise, or humble, yet its purpose is to keep the mind from ever reaching the bottom line where truth exposes the lie.
This is the essence of “spiritual wickedness in high places.” These “high places” are not in Heaven but in the minds of men who elevate their own ideas above the Word of God. They turn logic into imagination and then call that imagination revelation. Once that happens, the structure of Isaiah 28 collapses: precept no longer connects to precept, line no longer joins to line, and the entire foundation becomes a snare. That is how the rulers of darkness maintain control — not by open rebellion, but by teaching God’s people to accept ideas that cannot be proven by the math of the Bible.
The Judgment at the Bottom Line
The idea that grace alone leads to salvation is one of the greatest deceptions ever created. It claims that through grace without works, God reveals knowledge directly — that if understanding is missing, it must be because God withheld it, not because of personal disobedience. This places the fault of ignorance on God instead of on man’s failure to seek, and in doing so, it reverses judgment: man becomes the judge, and God becomes the one on trial.
But the bottom line of math destroys this argument completely. God is not the God of grace alone; He is the God of works with grace. Satan is the god of grace without works, because that path removes accountability and allows the lie to survive.
In the final trial, their argument will never reach Abraham. Christ will stop the case long before that point because the verdict was already sealed at the bottom line. When they declared the Holy Spirit was cut off in Genesis 3:24 and then refused to explain how the prophets received it, they chose their own god, their own plan of salvation, and their own law. They created a god who allows exceptions to His Word — a god of comfort, not correction.
Then Christ will speak as Judge:
“I am not the God of grace alone, but the God of works with grace. I do not reveal knowledge to one man by favor alone, but by obedience to the method I set forth — precept upon precept, line upon line. You rejected My government, My law, and My structure. You refused to do the works of searching, testing, and proving. You turned the grace I gave you into an excuse to remain blind.”
At that point, just as He did with Adam, God will take them to the bottom line and show them the truth they avoided. He will remind them they knew there was no path for the prophets to have the Holy Spirit if it had been cut off in Genesis 3:24. They will see that they skipped the truth, wrote their own version of salvation, and turned away from His way of life to follow Satan’s.
Works With Grace — The True New Covenant
Then God will explain the meaning of works with grace. It was never about earning salvation by human strength — it was about submitting to the structure that allows grace to work. Grace is the gift that opens the door; works are the steps that walk through it. The law defines those steps, and the Holy Spirit gives the power to take them. Without the law, grace becomes lawless; without grace, the law becomes lifeless. But when the two work together, the Spirit flows as it did in the Garden, giving both understanding and life.
Closing Reflection
Let us be obedient and follow the logic all the way to the true math. We have already followed the logic far enough to find the snare. Now we understand Isaiah 28: that logic is the beginning of math, but only obedience brings understanding. Logic led us to the snare; math revealed it to have understanding we must also know the snare. From here forward, every precept we add must stand the test of God’s structure—precept upon precept, line upon line—until the full math of the Kingdom is revealed.
Returning to the Verse by Obedience
I keep saying we are going to go to Genesis 3:24, but what is being revealed here is more than the verse itself—it is the method of the math. We are not going back to Genesis 3:24 by our own authority. Our human reasoning already concluded that the Holy Spirit was cut off because man was removed from the Garden and the Pure River was in the Garden. That was our authority. There is nothing wrong with starting there, because now we are going to test that authority by the next precept—the prophets.
When we saw that there was no path for the prophets to have the Holy Spirit if it were truly cut off, we had to turn that authority back to God. We are not returning to Genesis 3:24 by intelligence but by obedience. Since the math failed with the prophets, we return to logic—not to invent an idea, but to find what we missed. Logic now tells us we must have overlooked something in Genesis 3:24.
Deu 4:29 But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.
This is why the Bible is written in mysteries. It is not a textbook to make us doctors or lawyers. God is not only teaching knowledge—He is teaching method, because method produces character. The perfection of God’s method is greater than our understanding of perfection itself. To overcome sin, we must put away the nature of man and put on the nature of God. Only obedience allows that transformation to happen.
This is why Genesis 3:24 God set as the test verse of the Bible it contains the full formula of biblical math. Obedience reveals what the world’s disobedience has hidden. In one verse, God shows how both understanding and blindness are determined—not by intellect, but by submission to His structure. The first mystery is the understanding of the structure God has set that is the reason ISa. 28 is the starting part of the Bible not Genesis. We have the structure of Isa, to understand how to learn, then we find the mystery of Genesis.This is the math of the mysteries.
On Translation and Hidden Understanding
One of the great obstacles to uncovering the mysteries of Scripture is translation itself. Most Bible translators are not intentionally deceptive—they simply follow a method that is subjective by design. They often consult a concordance, find the first word that seems to fit the context, and move on. The problem is that the concordance entry is itself an interpretation, not an exact equation of meaning.
This is why the Bible’s math must always confirm the wording. If a translation produces contradiction, that contradiction is not failure—it is gold. The Bible does not contradict itself. When a verse appears to conflict with another, it signals that a deeper layer of understanding is hidden beneath the surface. That is where the true math begins.
The Division in Translation
The people who prepare the concordances usually understand the meanings of the original words; the translators who render the text into another language often do not. They depend on the concordance, selecting the first word that seems to make sense in the sentence. What you end up with is two hands working—one not knowing what the other is doing. The concordance provides meaning; the translation provides assumption.
Now that both logic and math have sent us back to Genesis 3:24, we already know that the surface reading cannot be correct. The literal interpretation produces a contradiction: if the Holy Spirit was cut off in this verse, then the prophets could not have had the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament—and yet we know they did.
That contradiction means only one thing: we have to go deeper. The next step of the math is to look up the meaning of every word in the verse, allowing Scripture to define itself rather than letting human translators do it.
Cue Card — Step 1 in the Word Study of Genesis 3:24
Title: “The Two Hands of Translation and the Return to the Verse”
Main Idea:
- Concordance compilers understand Hebrew and Greek meaning; translators often only select the first word that fits the sentence.
- This creates two hands working separately—one with meaning, the other with assumption.
- Because logic and math exposed a contradiction, we must now go beneath the translation layer and test every word in Genesis 3:24.
Transition Verse:
Genesis 3:24 – “So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.”
Teaching Direction:
- Read the verse aloud slowly.
- Note the contradiction already proven – the Spirit cannot be both “cut off” and “present with the prophets.”
- Announce the new task: “We will now examine every key Hebrew word in this verse to locate what was missed.”
Main Verse:
Genesis 3:24 – “…and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.”
Word Focus – “Flaming” (לַהַט / lahat)
- Strong’s Definition: From H3857; a blaze; also (from the idea of enwrapping) magic (as covert): flaming, enchantment, spells.
- Insight: This word changes everything. God does not use enchantment, spells, or magic.
Those belong only to Satan and his demons.
The Breakthrough
When we apply the math and logic of Isaiah 28, we find what has been hidden for more than 1,600 years:
The “flaming” here is not God’s fire but the illusion of light — the counterfeit flame of Satan.
Every translation since has kept the surface image:
A physical angel standing before a physical garden with a physical sword guarding a symbolic tree.
That image breaks all logic and fails the math.
It means the translators — and the world that followed them — never used Isaiah 28’s formula.
Teaching Point
When I say, “You did not know how to learn,” I’m not insulting anyone’s intelligence — I’m describing a process.
You are now learning with God’s structure. The difference is not intellect, but obedience.
It is not about how smart a person is, but whether they will follow God’s math or their own imagination.
Now this is too big so we have to follow Isa. 28 and find a second witness. That is what is so amazing about this word. The Bible always promises two witnesses here; the Bible separates this word from all the other words in the Bible. This word is only used two times in the Bible fulfilling the two witness promise then does not use the word again in the whole Bible taking away any confusion of what this word means. Then God shows the difference in the way God works and the way Satan works..Here is your second witness.
Exo 7:11 Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments. The word enchantment is the same word translated flaming in Gen. 3:24. The Bible defines this word by only using the word two times so all confusion is taken away, and then given an example of the way God works and the way Satan works
Exo 7:10 And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as the LORD had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
Exo 7:11 Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.
Exo 7:12 For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods.
The word sword means a weapon, it not only means a physical sword. Throughout the bible the word sword is used with a physical (literal) and spiritual (symbolic) meaning.
Eph 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
There are many examples here, just one to fulfill the two witness requirements.Look at what the math did? The math determined this verse should be translated literally or symbolically. This is a spiritual weapon of enchantment and magic; it is not a physical sword. The Bible defines that God set this angel up and defines which angel God set up. The Bible calls Satan the prince of the power of the air, and the ruler of the earth. However God set Satan in office but the Bible does not show God setting Satan in office.
Yes the Bible does Genesis 3:24 is where God set Satan in office. Now this changes everything Satan is not set up to guard a symbolic tree. The word flaming changes everything to a spiritual meaning. This is the last time in teh Bible a physical garden in the garden. Adam being removed is the last mention of a physical garden. Satan is set up over the spiritual garden of man’s mind.
This changes everything and it is on the bottom line where no deception can survive. I had one of Satan’s messengers try to use deception against this and here is how that went. He said yes the word can mean enchantment but the main meaning of this word means fire. I told him no the word fire is not in the words definition. The word God uses for the fire of God is used over 300 times in the Bible. The word means a flaming in the sense of a blaze of inwrapping of an enchantment. The word cannot mean fire. He looked down and said he did not want to talk about it and walk away. Here we have a minister using deception and caught doing so with nothing else to say with his job being speaking about the word of God he did not want to talk about it anymore now deception had been revealed.
This changes everything in the next Bible I will show just how much it does change. Then we will go back and get rid of the satan image of human talking to animals and the fire breathing dragon
What the Math Reveals
By the rules of Isaiah 28, the math determines whether a verse is literal or symbolic.
Here, both words — flaming and sword — are spiritual.
The result is not a physical angel with a physical weapon but a spiritual structure of authority.
- “Flaming” = enchantment, illusion, counterfeit light
- “Sword” = weapon of power or authority
Together, this forms a spiritual weapon of enchantment — a system of deception.
The Hidden Appointment
The Bible calls Satan:
- “The prince of the power of the air” (Ephesians 2:2)
- “The ruler of this world” (John 12:31)
- But the Bible never shows where God sets him in that office — until now.
Genesis 3:24 is that moment.
Here, God sets Satan in office over the spiritual garden — the realm of the human mind.
This is not about a physical garden or a physical tree.
It marks the transition from physical Eden to the spiritual system of mankind’s test.
The Bottom Line
When confronted, a minister once tried to deny this by claiming:
“Yes, lahat can mean enchantment, but its main meaning is fire.”
But that is false. The Hebrew definition contains no word for fire.
The word for God’s fire (esh) appears over 300 times — and this is not it.
The truth exposed the deception instantly.
He looked down, had nothing left to say, and walked away.
When light reaches the bottom line, deception cannot survive.
Transition
This changes everything.
In the next Bible study, we will show exactly how much it changes —
removing Satan’s false image of talking animals, dragons, and fables,
and restoring the spiritual structure of Genesis as God wrote it.
