To my heavenly father,
one God, the Father, out of Whom all is 1C8:6,
and my earthly father, Ljubisav (George) Sretenovic,
who, one way or another, never fails to challenge and inspire.
11 And I perceived heaven open, and lo! a white horse.
And He Who is sitting on it is called
Faithful and True,
and in righteousness is He judging and battling.
12 Now His eyes are a flame of fire,
Revelation 19:11-16

PREFACE
No, Andrew Gallix and The Guardian are not talking about The
Ultimate Context, but, they may as well be: The Ultimate Context is so
fundamental.
Have you ever read a Christian book, heard a Christian sermon or
engaged in a dialogue with a Christian who did not assume, implicitly
or explicitly, that something went wrong in the beginning of Gods
creationand thus, immediately, lead lead you into his garden path?
If you have, you are one of the precious few. If not, well, here is a
chance to read an epoch consummating book.
For the world to come into focus, is it as simple as putting on a
pair of glasses?
Based on a fundamental reinterpretation of the first three chapters
of the Bible, The Ultimate Context suggests that there never really
was any problem2 in Gods gardenan idea so simple, and yet so
fundamental.
reconciliations between all our apparently contradictory notions. The notions will all
be knocked from under our feet. We shall see that there never really was any problem.
/ And, more than once, that impression which I cant describe except by saying its
like the sound of a chuckle in the darkness. The sense that some shattering and
disarming simplicity is the real answer. C. S. Lewis, A Grief Observed. [italics are
mine]
The book, more than ten years in the writing, clearly is not the
result of my own, unshaped thinking. The shaping comes from the
One, Elohim Jb2:10 through many a channelhence many a gratitude ...
.
.
.
Above all and in all, blessing and honor and glory Rv5:13 be to our
heavenly Father Mt6:26, Former of light and Creator of darkness,
Maker of good and Creator of evil Is45:7, Who has placed rejoicing
in my heart, More than in the season when their grain and their
grape juice multiplied. Ps4:7.
Finally, a reminder.
Your salvation, eternal or otherwise, does not depend on you
reading this book. In fact, if you can avoid, do so. Nevertheless know,
the irresistible love of The Ultimate Context evangel of Jesus Christ,
Son of God Mk1:1 is already pursuing you!
INTRODUCTION
Wrench the above quote from its secular scientific setting, place it
into a Christian theological or philosophical context, and you have the
foremost reason for the existence of this book, The Ultimate Context
of the evangel of Jesus Christ, Son of God Mk1:1the evangel of the
untraceable riches of Jesus Christ to the nations Ep3:8.
At the heart of The Ultimate Context is the Bible teaching that the
appearance of evil on the planet earth was not an unwanted event, but
an integral part of a specific, loving plan.
The Gallix glasses4 good news is that the Creator of the universe
intended what we are witnessing on this planet. What is, ultimately, is
the will of God5.
3 As quoted in: John Boslough, Stephen Hawkings Universe (New York: Avon books,
1985), 77
4 Or, if you prefer, Fred Hollows vision gift.
5 Ultimately, whatever is, God takes the responsibility for its presence. However,
under God, human beings are individually accountable for their identity-defining
choices, made inside their finite sphere of perception and influence.
On the other hand, traditional Christian dogma, as its starting
point, postulates an initial estrangement from God6 contrary to Gods
plans.
The appearance of sin, suffering, pain and death is not what the
Creator intended, we are told. The events currently transpiring are not
of Gods design, we are asked to believe.
The implications are staggering ...
Either because of a divine mishap or as a necessity imposed upon
God, given the nature of free human will, an intoxicating
misperception of God is prevailing. What is, conventional Christianity
boldly proclaims, is not the will of God.

In a nutshell
The Artificer and Architect Hb11:10 of the heavens Gn2:1 did not
stumble in the garden of Eden Gn3:24. Yahweh, Creator of the ends of
the earth Is40:28, was not cornered into the present circumstances.
Gods original desire Is55:11 stands firm Ps33:9. Present suffering 1P5:10,
spanning the present wicked eon Ga1:4, is but a phase in the process of
becoming like one of Us Gn3:22.
Therefore,
I consider that what we suffer [briefly 1P5:10] at this present
time [during this present evil age Ga1:4 GNB] cannot be compared at
all with the glory that is going to be revealed to us Rm8:18 GNB.
PART A
Existance of God
Chapter 1
THE CONTEXT OF THE ULTIMATE CONTEXT
Not only the book of Genesis, but the entire Bible is one creation
story. The evidence that the Bible is conceptually one book begins
with the exploration of the Bible as one creation story.
The one Bible creation story begins with the one blueprint, given
in the Bible, some three millenia ago.
MAKE FOR ME A SANCTUARY
And I will tabernacle in their midst
8
Thus they will make for Me a sanctuary, and I will
tabernacle in their midst. 9 According to all that I am showing you,
the model of the tabernacle and the model of all its furnishings,
thus shall you make it. Ex25:8-9
Thus, the Bible diety is saying, thus shall you make Ex25:9 the
tabernacle Ex25:9 for thus I-Am-Becoming Ho1:9 in humanity in Our
image and according to Our likeness Gn1:26?
HUMAN BODY
Three Millenia Old Perspective
According to this ancient blueprint, the main function of the
human body, represented by activities in the court of the tabernacle
Ex27:9
, is the offering of the animal sacrifices.
HUMAN SOUL
Three Millenia Old Perspective
According to this ancient blueprint, the main functions of the
human soul, represented by the activities in the holy place Ex26:33, are
intelect, volition and emotions.
The relative significance that the Bible attaches to the body, may
be gaged by the number of chapters allocated to it. About one.
The body stage of the creation begins with Genesis 1:1 (the
creation of the dust cosmos) and ends with Genesis 2:7a shaping of
the Adamah man (Yahweh Elohim formed the human out of soil
from the ground Gn2:7).
The rest of the Bible, in all 1186 chapters, is preoccupied with the
moral development of humanity in the spirit Jn4:24 image of a cannot
be tempted with evil Ja1:13 KJV God.
The moral phase of creation is still in progress. It belongs to the
spirit and takes the rest of the Bible. The opportunity to conquer evil
with good Rm12:21 coinsides with this stage.10
---
10In a sense, the three Bible stages of creation are reflected in our individual lives as
we progress from the base physical preoccupations with survival (possessions), to
more noble soul values (science, freedom and love), to the transcendant spirit
functions (relating to the questions of good and evil).
Chapter 4
YAHWEH CREATIVITY PRINCIPLE
Let us observe that the cycle is not complete until the return Is55:11
of the word Is55:11 to Yahweh Is45:8. There is a going forth phase and
there is a return phase. Yahweh is the central figure. It all revolves
around Him.

12 Rv1:8; 22:13
13 I call time, space and matter, the Southern Cross Cosmos, for just as the Southern
Cross constellation points south, so the Southern Cross Cosmos points to the Cross of
Jesus Christ.
14 We are talking here about an uncreated world as the source of all created Co1:16.
This uncreated world stands in a fundamental contrast to the created world which
[had a beginning and] has come into being Jn1:3.
Chapter 6
YAHWEH CREATIVITY ASSURANCE
15 the promise Hb6:17 and the oath Hb6:17: the two immutable matters Hb6:18
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR GOD TO LIE!
My word does what I desire and prospers
Built on the foundation of two16 immutable matters Hb6:16,
Yahweh Creativity Assurance superstructure comes into a sharp focus.
---
With the word Is 55:11 of His mouth Is55:11, Yahweh Alpha interrupts
primordial silence and initiates17 the creation process.
17 In Isaiah 55:10-11 we are observing a change of state in the spirit realm: a transition
from the passive (silence) to the active (speaking) modean event of unspeakable
proportions, not only as the real beginning of the Southern Cross Cosmos, but as an
occasion in the timeless have become Rv21:6 history of the uncreated Yahweh.
ALPHA WORD
Phase 2
In Phase 2, the downpour descends and the snow Is55:10 stands
for My word ... shall go forth from My mouth Is55:11.
Here, the word Is55:11, as the Alpha Word, goes forth Is55:11 to
accomplish Yahweh Alpha desire Is55:11 for a humanity in Our image
and according to Our (knowing good and evil Gn3:22 ) likeness Gn1:26 .
Yahweh Alpha and Alpha Word (Jesus Christ) agree to create a
race in a time-space-dust universe. They, in the setting of John 1:1-3,
seal the agreement with a blood covenant18: the Eonian Council
Covenant19.
18 The Lambkin slain from the disruption of the world Rv13:8 blood covenant!
19 Genesis 1:26
COSMOS
Phase 3
In Phase 3, it soaks the earth And causes it to bear and sprout,
And it gives seed to the sower and bread to the eater Is55:10
represents My word20 ... does what I desire Is55:11 in the heavens and
[on] the earth Gn1:1.
Here we are witnessing the spirit and soul and body 1Th5:23
activity21 of the seed Lk8:11 word Is55:11, accomplishing the primeval I
am Ex6:2 desire Is55:11 for the manifestation of the impervious to evil
Ja1:13 MSG
sons of God Rm8:19 who have conquered evil with good Rm12:21.
22The Sothern Cross Cosmos cycle, of course, does not imply that Yahweh uses this
same (say the word Mt8:8) principle in His other creative activities.
ONE BIBLE VOICE
One creation story, One theodicy
Is it possible that a Jewish prophet, seven centuries before Christ,
received by revelation and disclosed the principle that governs the
creation of the heavens and the earth Gn1:1?
If Yahweh Creativity Principle can make the Bible speak with one
voice and if it can provide a solid foundation for Christian theodicy,
we have a good start.

Earth rising above the moon horison. Similarly, We find ourselves standing where
we always hoped we might standout in the wide open spaces of God's grace
and glory, standing tall and shouting our praise. Rm5:2 MSG
