Let’s Make This Simple To Understand
… As Simple As Apple Pie!!!
In the beginning, toward the end of God’s sixth creative day, Jehovah made mankind both male and female in
His image according to Genesis 1:27. And in verse 31 of the same chapter, Jehovah, Himself after seeing
everything He had made said, “…LOOK! [IT WAS] VERY GOOD.” -- New World Translation
Adam & Eve’s Offspring
So to make this simple, let’s say that Jehovah made an apple pie called, “MANKIND.”
God then cuts out two pieces of pie, one called Adam and one called Eve.
I think we all know how this story goes in the Garden of Eden…the serpent [Satan] tempts Eve, Eve succumbs
to the twisted words of the serpent [Satan] and eats the forbidden fruit. Then later, Adam does NOT stand up
to Eve for breaking God’s Law, at the time, and repeats the sin. Next, when God accosts them, Adam blames

Eve and Eve likewise blames the “serpent” for deceiving her. This shows neither one is repentant, since they
were not willing to confess their sin and take responsibility for their actions.
But what about the deceptive actions of the “serpent?” If we really think about it, this newfound "rebel" Satan
[using the serpent], had actually challenged Jehovah Himself and His creative works. Satan challenged the fact
of whether the “PIE” called Mankind that Jehovah God had created, was indeed, “very good.” Is this not true?
-- Genesis 1:31.
Because of this action on Satan’s part, because of this special challenge against God’s proclamation of Genesis
1:31, Jehovah God the Almighty, wisely utters the first prophetic statement or promise of Holy Scripture. God
utters the first bible prophecy! He predicts:
"And I shall put enmity between you and the woman and between your seed and her seed. He
will bruise you in the head and you will bruise him in the heel." (Genesis 3:15 New World Translation)
Now above, Jehovah prescribes a Special Solution to answer Satan’s proposed challenge!
And, what would this special “solution” … this sacred secret of God’s be?
Well, let’s look at this situation from Jehovah God perspective, His point of view.
Because of Adam & Eve’s sin, Satan proposes a new idea among God’s Creation, the idea that “nothing good”
can come forth from the same pie [MANKIND]. The same “pie” that Jehovah had declared: “Very Good!” So,
Satan proposes the very opposite of what Jehovah said in Genesis 1:31, after Jehovah has made that pie
[MANKIND], isn’t it? God’s works were complete, and they were “very good,” according Jehovah.
Jehovah said His works were “VERY GOOD” (according to Genesis 1:31).

But Satan suggests that Jehovah’s Works [MANKIND] are FLAWED
and that nothing “GOOD” could come forth from that PIE [MANKIND].
Now, what would Jehovah's "options" be at this time point, we must ask:
1) Should He [Jehovah] destroy Satan ... and Adam & Eve before
they could have children, and start all over again? That possibility
did exist, didn't it?
I mean, who could stop Jehovah's Almighty's Hand, if He decided to go this way...who?
But we must think: If Jehovah did this, what would this prove?
Would this "destructive" action on God's part, prove the ORIGINAL
"pie" was indeed, "very good," as Gen. 1:31 proclaims?
What would this action, do for this particular claim, of Gen. 1:31?
Would that particular action on God’s part, actually help that
particular claim of Jehovah's at Gen. 1:31, namely that His Works
were indeed “very good?”

2) Or should God Almighty, Jehovah reach up to heaven, and choose
a new, heavenly life form or entity, one that DID NOT actually come
from the original "pie," like say for instance, Jesus?
Well, if Jesus came to earth to live as a "man," and thusly proved himself to be
"very good" [Gen. 1:31] ... sin-free ... still, would that fact prove the ORIGINAL
"PIE" ... that's the original "pie," was also "very good" [Gen. 1:31], as Jehovah
ORIGINALLY DECLARED???
Again we repeat, if Jesus were proven faithful, under test from Satan as the
scriptures say he was, exactly as Adam and Eve were originally created before
their sin, still would this fact prove the ORIGINAL "PIE" was indeed, "very good"
as Gen. 1:31 proclaims???
Would it???
Wow, what a
very strange Actually, Jesus coming to earth and proving
idea, hmmm.
himself to be "faithful," completely sin-free,
a sinless man, does NOTHING ... NOTHING
to show the original "pie" of mankind was
indeed created ... "very good," [Gen. 1:31]
... does it???
Think about it.

We must remember, an irrefutable fact we all know is that Jesus is not … NOT FROM this EARTH, nor is
Jesus imperfect, a sinner descendant from Adam. So Jesus could NEVER be considered a “slice of pie” cut
from MANKIND, could he??? Therefore, being from the “seed of Eve” as a SOLUTION [Gen. 3:15), would
NOT BE POSSIBLE for Jesus -- Did you know this???
3) Or, should God Almighty, do something completely unique ... he
uses a part of the original pie, a "slice" from the "pie" of MANKIND,
apply the blood of Jesus [act of "Justification" Romans 5:18] UPON
that "slice" of pie from mankind, rendering him to a "guiltless" state
[Matthew 12:7] and let this one, answer the challenge of Satan, as in
the "Scapebird" or "Scapegoat" scenarios, shown in Leviticus
Chapters 14 & 16.
How about that possibility???
So What Does
All of
This Mean???

BIBLICAL PROOF OF A SECOND "MESSIAH"
FROM GOD, PROMISED TO COME!
In addition to the information we have presented previously, by way of the "Simple As Apple Pie" Illustration,
we've found what we believe to be a very captivating, comparison of verses of scripture, which we believe will
absolutely prove...a SECOND MESSIAH was promised to come upon this earth, in the last days.
First, please carefully consider Zechariah 8:23...
“…We Have Heard That
“Thus says the LORD of hosts: In those days ten men
from the nations of every tongue shall take hold of the
robe of a Jew, saying, 'Let us go with you, for we have
heard that God is with you.’” (Zechariah 8:23 ESV)
Actually, we can see the possibility of a "messiah" appearing
God Is With You” here, in this verse. Yes, the "Jew" mentioned is certainly carrying
out a Messiah-like role, is that not so? Here we see someone, a
"Jew," leading the people of the nations to Almighty God
successfully [see verses 20-22].
Next, let's compare John 16:13...
“When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his
own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are
to come.” (John 16:13 ESV)
We notice above, this verse speaks of the "spirit of truth" which was
promised to lead persons into "all truth" and "declare the things coming"
or the future to Jesus' disciples. Isn't that what Jesus said? And certainly,
Jesus was NOT referring to himself doing this, was he?
Yes, the "Spirit of Truth," was promised to be "sent" by Jehovah and
Jesus, to earth, to lead people to "all truth" and "declare the things
coming" [declare the future], as we would expect of a "messiah," is this
not true? -- Please compare John 14:16, 17, 26; John 15:26; John 16:8-
11.
Therefore, would not such a unique scenario like this, perfectly fit the
one spoken of at Zechariah 8:23? Yes, we can see the messianic role or profile shown at John 16:13, the
"spirit of truth" then is identical with that of Zechariah 8:23, is this not so? Actually when we think about this,
what is the difference in the role of both scenes shown...is there a difference???

And again, all professed Christians know John 16:13 speaks of the activity of the "Spirit of Truth," which they
know unequivocally CANNOT, no cannot ... be Jesus. Yes, they know this.
Think about it!
Therefore, the words of Jesus where he promised
the coming of "Elijah" to "restore all things" now,
carry greater meaning. Yes, remember he said
this at Matthew 17:10, 11. And this verse also
matches the promise of Isaiah 49:5,6.. yes, the
"Servant" prophecy.
Then too, we have the words found at Acts 3:20,
21 which says Jesus himself is "IN HEAVEN"
actually when this great spiritual "restoration"
work is going on. Additionally, verse 24 of Acts
3rd chapter, clearly says, "all the prophets"
foretold this day.
Think about it!
“And the ravens brought him bread yorww [Donald C. Burney]
and meat in the morning, and
bread and meat in the evening,
and he drank from the brook.”
