Preface
Welcome to the Supreme Court of Heaven. You will learn a lot in cases
from the archives of this court. You will also learn from pending cases.
To clearly understand cases of the court of God, please bear in mind the
following things:
1. Cases take very long times in heaven: some even take many years
according to earthly timing.
2. In most cases witnesses are on earth.
3. There may be more than one appeal for each case.
INTRODUCTION
After the creation of the heavens and
the earth, it was mandatory for God to
establish a Supreme Court in heaven.
This was because he had created beings
both in heaven and on earth that have
freewill. When their freewill would
lead them against his will then he
would need to use this court to judge
them.
This court of the living God is
the only court in heaven: there is
neither a higher court nor a lower
court. There is the Supreme Court
only.
Why?
Because there is only one judge,
God himself; because sins are the same
in the eyes of God: there is no small
sin to deserve a lower court, and
there is no big sin to deserve a
higher court.
In his court, God judges his
creation with his Word. This means
that all that he speaks is law. Those
who are in heaven and on earth have to
live according to all that he ever
said or face judgment. That is where
the Bible fits in for those who are on
earth.
As you will see in the cases
compiled in this volume, because of
his perfect and just nature, God is
able to preside as the Judge and the
Defendant of the same case, or as the
Judge and the Plaintiff of the same
case, and be able to judge fairly.
He is perfect such that he is
able to pass a judgment against
himself and also sentence himself! The
Cross is a result of that just
character of God.
In the beginning, God created
evil in heaven so that even heavenly
beings would have a choice to follow
God or evil. If there was no evil at
their disposal they would not have
power to sin. This implies that even
Satan was deceived by evil (Ezekiel
28: 15-16) just as Adam was deceived
(Genesis 3: 1-7). But both had to be
judged, because they had a choice to
shun or embrace evil.
On earth he planted the tree of
the knowledge of good and evil
(Genesis 2: 9) for Adam to eat or
avoid.
Why would God trap his own
creation?
He never wanted robots that would
follow him due to not having a choice.
Instead, he wanted children both in
heaven and on earth who would love him
with all of their hearts, minds, and
bodies voluntarily.
In heaven, when evil was found in
Cherub Lucifer (Ezekiel 28: 15), the
Supreme Court of God had to assemble
for the first time, and Lucifer was
judged and cast out of heaven. He was
thrown to the earth.
However, before he was cast out,
he had been able to deceive a third of
the angels of God (Revelation 12: 3-
4). After they were judged, they were
also cast out of heaven with him
(Revelations 12: 7).
On earth, when man got deceived,
again the Supreme Court of Heaven had
to assemble for judging man, woman,
and the serpent (see case 777-1000 of
Volume 1).
However, soon after Satan had
discovered that it was possible for
man to be saved from eternal
destruction, he started making the
Supreme Court of Heaven very busy. He
accuses the saints in the court of the
Lord, day and night (Revelations 12:
10).
He files summonses against the
saints of God in the Supreme Court
without ceasing, for he knows he has
very little time (Revelation 12: 12).
It is for this reason that in
almost all cases in heaven, Satan
appears as the Plaintiff.
Procedure of the Supreme Court of
Heaven
The procedure of the court of the Lord
is almost the same as that of the
courts on earth.
Even in heaven, a case starts
when an Accuser (Plaintiff),
institutes action against the Accused
(Defendant). The Plaintiff prepares a
summons through his attorneys. Then he
files this summons with the court.
At this point, it becomes the
responsibility of the court to hand
over the summons to the Sheriff, so
that he could hand it over to the
Defendant. The Defendant is then
expected to defend himself through his
attorneys by either responding to the
summons or by defending himself in a
court trial.
The only difference is that in
the heavenly court there are only
criminal cases. Civil cases are also
treated as criminal cases.
Why?
Because, with God, it is one of
two things: it‟s either you do what he
says, or you don‟t. If you do what he
says, you are safe (not guilty), but
if you don‟t, you are guilty.
There is no fine in the court of
God: all sins are punishable by death.
But if you repent whilst in flesh the
death sentence is erased.

CASE ARGUED AND ADJUDGED IN THE
SUPREME COURT OF HEAVEN ON THIS DAY.
Case No. 777-1000. Argued on this day
– Decided on this day.
Background
In Heaven, God, the Defendant, was
served by Satan with a summons through
the Supreme Court Sheriffs. He accused
God of lying about the goodness of his
creation on earth.
Case
Soon after the Judge, God, had taken
his seat, Satan, the Plaintiff, was
asked to say his opening statement.
Satan said that his case was
about something wrong which God did
during creation. He said that God
erred when he considered his earthly
creation to be good.
God, the Defendant, was also
asked to say his opening statement.
He said that God‟s creation on
earth was perfect as God said.
Satan was asked to prove his
case.
The Devil told the court that he
would cross-examine man, the witness
of God using a serpent. He asked the
court to look at the earth.
When they looked at the earth
they saw the serpent talking to the
woman. “Did God really say, „You must
not eat from any tree in the garden‟?”
The woman said to the serpent, “We may
eat fruit from the trees in the
garden, but God did 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 certainly die,” the serpent said
to the woman. “For God knows that when
you eat from it your eyes will be
opened, and you will be like God,
knowing good and evil.” When the woman
saw that the fruit of the tree was
good for food and pleasing to the eye,
and also desirable for gaining wisdom,
she took some and ate it. She also
gave some to her husband, who was with
her, and he ate it. Then the eyes of
both of them were opened, and they
realized they were naked; so they
sewed fig leaves together and made
coverings for themselves. (Genesis 3:
1-7)
In the court, there was great
tension as God was embarrassed by man
on earth. Heavenly beings never
believed what they beheld.
Very pleased by the results of
the cross-examination, Satan talked
with great confidence before he sat
down, “I hope my evidence has
substantiated my claims.”
God, the Defendant, was asked to
defend his position.
Deeply disappointed, God the
Defendant, decided to direct-examine
his witness in Eden, “Where are you
(Adam)?” “I heard you in the garden,
and I was afraid, because I was naked;
so I hid,” he responded. “Who told you
that you are naked? Have you eaten
from the tree that I commanded you not
to eat from?” the Lord asked. The man
said, “The woman you put here with me;
she gave me some fruit from the tree,
and I ate it.” Then the Lord God said
to the woman, “What is this you have
done?” The woman said, “The serpent
deceived me, and I ate” (Genesis 3: 8-
13).
God, the Judge, gave Satan a
chance to give his closing statement,
but he had none. The Lord went on to
give his judgment.
He gave judgment to the
Plaintiff. Satan won the case.
However, he mentioned that that
did not mean that God erred when he
considered his creation to be perfect.
But he gave man freewill to choose
between good and evil, but man chose
evil.
He went on to sentencing the
Defendant.
To the first Respondent (God, the
Defendant), he mentioned that
according to the law (Hebrews 9: 22)
man‟s blood is required for man‟s sin
to be forgiven. Then he gave him a
death sentence: to hang on a tree
until he dies.
To the second Respondent (Man),
he said, “Because you listened to your
wife and ate fruit from the tree about
which I commanded you, „You must not
eat from it,‟ Cursed is the ground
because of you; through painful toil
you will eat food from it all the days
of your life. It will produce thorns
and thistles for you, and you will eat
the plants of the field. By the sweat
of your brow you will eat your food
until you return to the ground, since
from it you were taken; for dust you
are and to dust you will return”
(Genesis 3: 17-19).
To the third Respondent (Woman),
he said, “I will make your pains in
childbearing very severe; with painful
labor you will give birth to children.
Your desire will be for your husband,
and he will rule over you” (Genesis 3:
16).
To the fourth Respondent
(Serpent), he said, “Because you have
done this, Cursed are you above all
livestock and all wild animals. You
will crawl on your belly and you will
eat dust all the days of your life.
And I will put enmity between you and
the woman, and between your offspring
and hers; he will crush your head, and
you will strike his heel” (Genesis 3:
14-15).
Then the court adjourned.
After this case, all Seraphs,
Elders, Spirits, Cherubs, Archangels
and Angels were unhappy about the
outcome, but anyway they praised and
worshiped God as usual.
The Devil moved out of the court
very happy as he went back to the
earth.
The entire kingdom of darkness
celebrated frantically without
stopping.
