If Jesus directs us to his father in heaven then that is how it meant to be our father in heaven.
The Promise Earth: God promises the righteous will possess the earth, and they will live forever on it. "The righteous will inherit the land and dwell in it forever. Psalm, 37:29. God is preparing new earth and a new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, “Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. Revelation, 21:2,3,4. God’s original purpose from the first book of the bible Genesis to the last book of the bible Revelation tells us that, His purpose is the dwelling of God to be with menkind.
The Opposer: The first book of the bible tells us the opposer of God showed up in the Garden of Eden. Also, the last book of the Bible identifies him as “One called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth. The first book of the Bible calls him the serpent in Genesis, 3:1. The great dragon has hurled down that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth and his angels with him. Revelation, 12:9. (Satan which means Opposer) a powerful spirit Son of God who out of his freedom of choice turned himself into (Devil which means Slander). God created the earth's foundation. God’s word said “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation? Tell me, if you understand.” Job, 38:4. Now the serpent was craftier than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman Eve, Adam's wife. “Did God say, “You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die?” “You will not surely die,” the serpent said to the woman. For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil. Genesis, 3:1-5, Why did Satan said this to Eve to eat the fruit? because he knows God's perfect plans for the entire universe. In the first creation on earth, they both knew only God and everything was good, but after eating the fruit from the middle of the garden, and of course, they now know good and evil.
The Origin of an Enemy: The tree of knowledge: God said to Adam and Eve, “But as for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad, you must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will certainly die.” (Reading from Genesis 2:17). Satan the Devil caused Adam and Eve to disobey God. And because of their disobedience, God’s words came to pass and they both died some years later in their old age from sickness and death and maybe for as long as they could survive, it was a sin to disobeyed God, and since then sin continued from their time to our time, death has become a destiny for all men. For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 3: 23, Life was meant to be perfect with our loving Jehovah God forever and ever from the beginning, but sin separated us from the presence of God on Paradise earth. The man and his wife heard the LORD God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden. Genesis 3:8, Why did they hide from God? Because of their wickedness and their sins. They wanted to cover their sins and they did not want to expose their skin it's human nature the first reaction is to cover up.
Death was the price of disobedience: What God said will come to pass. The first creation was meant for Adam and Eve to be living with God listening to God and talking and walking with God here on Paradise earth. God said to the serpent and the woman from verse “14” and onwards in verse “17”, God said to Adam “Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil, you will eat of it all the days of your life. “18” It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat your food until you return to the ground since from it you were taken from dust you return.” “22” Because of Adam's sin God cursed the ground but only God will make a way out from the curses. And the LORD God said. “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat and live forever. “Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and this way death came to all men because all sinned.” Romans 5:12, He is God all-knowing, and what he says will come to pass. God did not tell Satan to disappear right there and be destroyed forever. God wants us to learn and know him through the good time and the hard times, know that he is the creator of all things, and the life that we have here on earth and above the heavens God is the creator.
The One True God: We could support Jehovah God as our Ruler and Satan is a liar. The worldview in our days seems that God as a liar and he does not exist. In the end, the battle belongs to God, and he has given all authority and power to his begotten Son the second Adam, Jesus Christ who will do what he will do with the Devil or Satan. After Jesus' ministry here on earth, he returned to his father in heaven. The bible mention that there was a war in heaven. The great dragon has hurled down that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth and his angels with him. Revelation, 12:9. Jesus knows that the ruler of this world is Satan; Read what Jesus said; Now is the Judgement of this world, now the ruler of this world will be cast out. John 12: 31, NWT. I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me. John 14:30, NWT, Of judgment because the ruler of this world is judged. John 16: 11, NWT. Christian Apostil wrote that the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one. Jesus said the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in me.
“We know that we are of God’s people, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one. Satan did not create this world and yet he claims to give the world to Jesus if only Jesus would bow down to him, he is a liar; again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And said to him all these things I will give you if you will fall and worship me. Matthew 4:8,9, Jesus answered Satan with God's words from the bible. But Jesus answered him, saying. It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. Luke 4:8-12, Godsons is to make God's heart glad; “my son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him who reproaches me.” Proverbs, 27:11. The bible mentioned in Revelation 4:11, you are worthy, O LORD. To receive glory and honor and power for you created all things, and by your will, they exist and were created. But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. Whose minds the god of this age has blinded. Who do you believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them? 2 Corinthians 4: 3,4.
Jesus was the chosen one: Jehovah God selected Jesus Christ to be the ruler of His heavenly kingdom or government. Jesus Christ is the King of all Kings and in fact, he is the only one mention in the Bible that he came from heaven and went back to heaven. Jesus does not have a mother in heaven but the creator father who had created him, the firstborn of all creation in heaven by Jehovah God's will. Jesus was transferred from heaven to earth. "For unto us a child is born, unto us, a son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace. There will be no end, Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, to order it and establish it with judgment and justice, from that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this. Isaiah, 9: 6-7, KJV. The Lord’s Prayer for us is to pray ‘your kingdom come, God's will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Matthew, 6:10, In the time of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever. Daniel, 2:44, God’s kingdom will rule.
The New World is at hand!: The new earth is referring to the society of people who receive God’s approval. When the bible speaks of the earth; it means the people who live on the earth. Let’s read from Genesis 11:1. (KJV) Referring to the whole earth (people), and the whole earth was of one language, and one speech. "Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, 2 Peter 3:13(NIV). Behold, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind. Isaiah. 65:17. (NIV). Former things referring to our past sins, pain, suffering, death warfare, crimes, and all kinds of abusive life will not come to mind. The Priceless Gift of “eternal life” is a promise for the righteous “new earth” whom God will approve for everlasting life. Having
