In The Beginning.....God's Plan: Why The 2nd Earth Age?

So why are we in these flesh bodies in this 2nd earth age anyway?  Well, let's look at it like this....God is our Heavenly Father (our Creator) and we are His children (and creation).  He had a choice to make when Satan deceived a 1/3 of His children.  He could have destroyed that 1/3-2/3 of His children, or He could give them a second chance (as it were) to choose Him.  As a parent myself, I have to tell you that I completely understand this impossible choice.  What parent would ever choose to destroy a child, ever?  I say 1/3-2/3 because a 1/3 outright chose Satan, but another 1/3 were on the fence so to speak.  Only a solid 1/3 of God's children stood by Him [post later on this trusted 1/3].  The other side of this impossible choice is that God (like anyone) wants true love and loyalty.  He does not want fake or forced admiration.  He wants reverence not fear [post on the mistransliterations of this later].  The only fair way for His children to choose God or Satan was for Him to provide them an opportunity to exist without foreknowledge of that first earth age....and hence this 2nd earth age where all souls (minus Satan) from that 1st earth age are to be born of woman in the flesh without such knowledge of any of the events that took place.  We are here to make a choice between God or Satan, good or evil, a once and for all choice.  So there you have it God chose to destroy that 1st earth age instead of destroying any of His children.

Revelation 12:4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. 

Satan is that dragon and the stars are God's children. 

Jeremiah 1:5 "Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations."

John 3:3-13 Jesus answered and said unto him, "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."  Nicodemus saith unto Him, "How can a man be born when he is old?  Can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?"  Jesus answered, "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.  That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.  Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.  The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit."  Nicodemus answered and said unto Him, "How can these things be?"  Jesus answered and said unto him, "Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?  Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.  If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?  And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but He That came down from heaven, even the Son of man Which is in heaven.

Born again is "born from above" (the Greek word is anothen #509 and is "from above") and we are required to come through this flesh age in order to choose and to be judged on whether we can be in the spirit again in eternity with God.  The 7,000 fallen angels bypassed the flesh birth and have consequently been sentenced to eternal death (death of the soul) along with Satan at the end of this 2nd earth age [posts on all of this forthcoming].

I Peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. 

Corruptible are these flesh bodies and incorruptible are our spiritual bodies...the 2nd death is that of the spiritual bodies, our very souls and that won't be decided on until Judgment Day....[additional info posts to come].

Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
