TIME AND CONSCIOUSNESS

 

This is an unedited chapter from my latest book about life. Please excuse the unedited errors.

 

The Bible is a book of life; and all things would have been created to support life. Without life there would be no consciousness because life is consciousness. There are many philosophical viewpoints about the faculty of consciousness, but the theological viewpoint is awareness of God regardless of His state of Being. For instance, the name Immanuel is “God with us.”

Scientifically, consciousness would be that our thoughts would be the thoughts of God, The null hypothesis of that comes is expressed in The Book of Isaiah from God and is about anybody who is not God-conscious:

 

Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon for “My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways” said the Lord; “for as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.” (Isa 55:7-9)

 

The “lost” — those whose thoughts are not God’s thoughts — would not be conscious of God nor His works, attributing His works to self-made. In other words, to the lost, the cosmos made itself and hence is the “god.”

How can God be known? Again, turn to scripture:

 

… that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God has showed it unto them for the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse. (Rom 1:19-20)

 

The point that Paul was making with that is God is manifested in the things that He has made. Because you exist in the world should make you realize that God, albeit unseen, is reality. Understanding that then your thoughts would be the thoughts of God because “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth” (Gen 1:1). If that is not your way of thinking, then your thoughts do not parallel the thoughts of God, and you would be “lost” in the sense that the truth escapes your mind; then you have vicariously killed God. No, you did not pull the trigger but in your thoughts, God would be dead to you.

You might be conscious to the things of the world, but you would be unconscious to the things of heaven, and rest assured, Paradise is a much grander, even glorious place than planet Earth.

There is no time in heaven whether Paradise or Hell. Nobody understands how time could not exist, but any patient who has been sedated knows, time does not exist in unconsciousness.

Many times, even for myself, when I think about God, time does not exist.  Even as I run three miles, if my thoughts are on God, time does not exist for I am with God.

Likewise, if you are entertained by the things of the world, time is compressed for you. Time is therefore an illusion. The evidence of time is that humans age and grow weaker, but your mind never ages; it merely adjusts to the world, unless of course, your mind is on things that you cannot change such as the inevitability of death.

Think of death in terms of real experiences. Suppose you wait in the lobby for your dentist to perform a root canal. You sit there waiting with the dread of pain and drilling. With dread, time is expanded. The clock does not slow down, but you might be overly conscious of the future which by now, you can do nothing to change.

The same thing even applies to a watched clock that seems to take forever to boil. You must admit that although time is measured by the things of the cosmos, real time is measured by consciousness. With no life during the formation of the cosmos, without life, real time would not exist. Time would not exist without life to experience it, but only man has the thoughts of God. So, in agreement with Michio Kaku, the world’s foremost astrophysicist, “In the creation time did not exist,” and “time is a construct of man.”

Only Adam’s kind had life breathed unto him. While the other kinds were living creatures, Adam had dominion over them (Gen 1:28).

 

The Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. (Gen 2:7)

 

God made the other kinds living, but for Adam, God breathed Himself unto Adam, making only Adam’s kind glorious in the manner of God. Adam was created God-conscious. From the Hebrew (Gen 1:1), it is learned that God had not created heaven and earth, but heaven/earth with Yeshua in it midst: Ha’Samayim v’et Ha’eres wherein v’et would be the binding force (vav) between the aleph and the tav. As is learned about Jesus — the “alpha and omega; the beginning and the end” (Rev 1:8) — time would not exist in the Garden of the Lord for it’s substance was both lofty and firm things.

Without human consciousness during creation, time would not have existed. However, for lower states of men, they would exist with no consciousness of time.

Adam would have been mindful only of God and His pleasant things as “Eden” means. Eden is more than a place but a state of being — עֵדֶן, reading from right to left: ayin (observation) – dalet entry into space/time and matter — nun, the uncertainty of life.

The name “Eden” implies within space/time and matter but an unawareness of it. It would be pleasant because there would be no fear of it ending.

To confirm that hypothesis, I tested it using AI Overview, asking “Does the Hebrew pictographs spelling ‘Eden’ imply unconscious of time?” The answer:

 

Yes, when interpreted through the lens of ancient Paleo-Hebrew pictographs, the spelling of "Eden" (עֵדֶן) can be understood to imply a state of existence outside of linear time, often interpreted as an "unconscious of time" or a state of eternal presence… (then the details followed by the summary.) While the literal definition is "pleasure," the deeper paleo-pictographic analysis indicates that Eden symbolizes a primordial state of being and direct communion with the divine, free from the limitations of linear time. (AI Overview)

 

Further evidence is the word, eastward (קֶדֶם qedem) in “eastward of Eden.” The literal meaning of the pictographs is “before time” (ibid). Time would not have existed in the Garden of Eden because Adam’s kind would not be aware of the world outside the Garden.

Man’s first encounter with the world would have been with the penalty for sin; “So God drove out the man; and He placed at the east (qedem) of the Garden of Eden Cherubims and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the Tree of Life” (Gen 3:24).

The word “drove” there is literally thrust and the “Way” (דֶּרֶךְ derek; the “Way” is a change in states from glorious to common and mortal man.

Adam and the woman would have been thrust out from the Tree of Life into the world with all its tribulations (Gen 3). “The eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked” (Gen 3:7). They would have gained consciousness of things to come, and with that, the concept of time would have come with a change in states of mind, once being unaware of the things of their world (Gen 2:25) , they became aware (Gen 3:7). Hence time began with the consciousness of sinful man. Thereafter time was measured in years for Adam withered in 930 years (Gen 5:30).

If time did not exist in the Garden provides evidence that unconscious man-like creatures existed before time ever began. The beasts of the field (Gen 2:19) would have existed without consciousness of God from the beginning when all things were made that were made (John 1:1-3). Time would not have existed for them because they were in “Salem” — a place of peace. Time would not have existed for Adam and his mate because they were content and at peace until they sinned.

Now consider the concept of guilt and the dread of being exposed. With awareness that God saw unto their souls, they felt naked and ashamed. If you have sinned and feared being revealed, you understand the feeling of that. Your conscience bothers you because the conscious is the judge of moral standards. Imagine the dread that arose from being found out and  the punishment that might ensue! It is assumed that immediately upon sin being confessed that their state of existence went from unconscious of evil to be fully aware of it.

Indeed, Adam and Eve were cast out, not into the world, but unto consciousness of the evil things of the world.

It is difficult to understand that beasts could reproduce animals from the wombs of animals and feces in Paradise, but their existence would have been in the world alone. Because they had not God in them, for them, there would have not been any disgusting things. It was perhaps that they lived alongside Adam in the world, but they would have lived in a state of unconsciousness of the morality of God exemplified by the “conscious.”

Adam and Eve would remain in the Garden of the Lord (later to be called Israel; Gen 3:10), but they lost consciousness to the Tree of Life, or Yeshua. They would have been thrust out from a state of innocence to a state of guiltiness and always aware of their conscience, or rules of behavior set by God.

Most Christians follow their conscience because for them, their conscience is the consciousness of God; they care about what God.

What was different about mankind than the other beasts of the field? The life in them was the consciousness of God within them. No wonder the Image of God in them is in b’tsalmenu (בְּצַלְמֵנוּ ; Gen 1:26). That word means “in the shadow of the Creator.” Since God is Light, then Adam was a lesser light in the shape of a man.

There would have been lower states of men than Adam without Tselem in them. [1] (That refers to the “creeping things” of Genesis 1:28).

With time non-existent before consciousness provides how manlike upright anthropoids might have roamed the Garden of the Lord simultaneously with Adam. Albeit they were made by God, Adam alone had God Elohim in his person. It is not that the creeping thing was evil but had no conscience nor even consciousness of time.

Both Adam and the lower state of man could have lived in the world as the celestial bodies went their ways, but none of them would have worried about time. For none of the beasts of the field, or innocent Adam, would time have been a construct.

The world existed from the beginning and what we call “time” had past, but intelligent creatures would have known no time for like the movie, Ground Hog Day, one day was like the other and full of pleasure. Only with consciousness of evil in the world would the conscience of man be aroused. Hence, the Garden of the Lord would have been the world and the realm of God in one. With sin, mankind would have lost consciousness of the other realm where time does not exist. In their minds, heaven and earth would have been separated and they would no longer be conscious of either God or His realm. A blurb from pseudepigrapha agrees with that assessment:

 

Then Adam wept and said, "O’ God, when we dwelt in the garden, and our hearts were lifted up, we saw the angels that sang praises in heaven, but now we do not see as we were used to do; nay, when we entered the cave, all creation became hidden from us."

Then God the Lord said unto Adam, "When thou wast under subjection [to Me], thou hadst a bright nature within thee, and for that reason couldst thou see things afar off. But after thy transgression thy bright nature was withdrawn from thee; and it was not left to thee to see things afar off, but only near at hand; after the ability of the flesh; for it is brutish."

When Adam and Eve had heard these words from God, they went their way; praising and worshipping Him with a sorrowful heart. And God ceased to commune with them. (Adam & Eve: VIII)

 

Adam and Eve did not go anywhere; their nature had changed from all-seeing like God to a dim nature whose vision of godly things were no longer available to them. Two had lost the Elohim (thoughts of God) that they once had and now their thoughts were on visible things alone. They could no longer see God but knew He was still there by the things that God did for them (in that same book.)

Because you still live means that God still lives. He would not have died on the cross but gave up all His virtue to heal the nations (Rev 22:2). God cannot die but can be diminished. Adam did not die to God, but God would have been diminished in his sight.

[1] In my book, The Creeping Things of the Bible, I identified them as lower states of men.

WORTH A DOLLAR

   By now all churches are "denominations" with some more nominal than others.

(Yes even Churches of Christ.)

Let's say a divine "Dollar" is the whole; then denominations are less than one Dollar, and each have less value than the original Dollar. The Church of the New Testament would be the original "Dollar" but because of conflation in the mixing of it with the world view; each denomination has less value than the original Dollar.

Some churches, even in apostolic times, did not have a Dollar in value, for instance, all the seven churches of Asia.

By now, most church denominations are not worth fifty cents like the church of Laodicea: "I know your works," God said, "that you are neither hot or cold... So then because you art lukewarm... I will spue you out of My mouth" (Rev 3:13-14).

That identifies the modern Church as well. On the whole, all of the denominations are either putrid and stagnant, or are headed that way.

It is our job, through prayer and acts, to keep our church denomination at full value. With that said, "Test all things and hold onto what is good" (1 Thes 5:21).

I do criticize all denominations, even my own, because I want it to be worth a Dollar.

How much do you value your church doctrine? If it has doctrines other than Christ with Him crucified and resurrected, it falls far short of the original Dollar.

VIDEO ABOUT THE NAME ADAM

 My video explaining glorious man, Adam.

WHAT IS MAN

 

Adam is what God’s first man was called because he was taken from adama. Often translated “ground,” adama also has esoteric meaning hidden in the spelling:

 

THE ADAM…      הָאָדָם               ADAM…        אָדָם

THE ADAMA…   הָאֲדָמָה             ADAMA…     אֲדָמָה

 

Read from right to left the ending hey in both “the Adam” and “the Adama” represents God-breathed — created. Both would be the same Substance breathed by God, and each a specific existence. “The Adam” would have been one specific existence and the same applies to “The Ground.”

Adam and Adama would refer to kinds from those specific beings. Adam would be Adam’s kind and Adama the substance of the base material of the Garden of Eden. The Adam would have been of the same substance as the Garden of the Lord, and so would Adam’s kind.

So, what is the substance of Adam’s kind? אָדָם, and what is the substance of the ground within the Garden wherein Adam was created? אֲדָמָה.

The letter hey at the end of Hebrew words sometimes makes the noun feminine or a direction toward that place or thing. Adama with the ending hey would indicate movement toward Adam — the thing of God.

Adam, would be the man that came from Adama, the “ground.” In modern terms the ground is the surface material of planet Earth but if the two were cast out to planet Earth, then the ground of the Garden of the Lord may not have been the same substance as planet Earth, so, let’s examine the substance of the ground of the Garden… Adama without the “from” at the end… “Adam” (אָדָם):

 

אָ (the ox) — the infinite potential power of God.

דָ (the door) — entry into space/time and matter, or dwelling of God among others.

ם (the waters) — matter and motion, or living water or movement of the Spirit of God.

 

The dalet and the mem together (דָם) means “blood” and indicates the color red. The blood itself would have movement, or “life” in the blood, if life is equated with movement which it is.

The letter אָ (Aleph/El) would indicate the Power of God in the blood. John wrote, “This is He that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ, not by water only, but by water and blood, and it is the Spirit that bears witness, because the Spirit is truth” (1 John 5:6).

The Spirit is truth of a real thing. The substance of the Spirit is mot water alone (mem; ם) but water and blood (mem and dalet mem; ם and דָם).

Water alone is mayim (מַיִם). Water and blood is dalet mem (דָם). As the last Adam (1 Cor 15:45) Jesus was the “quickening Spirit” in the first Adam.

Jesus would have been the aleph (א) in Adam (אָדָם), indicating that Jesus El came by both the water mem and the blood “dam” (dalet mem).

The substance of the man, Adam, would have been the blood and water from Jesus poured out onto the ground (adama) at the crucifixion (John 19:34).

In other words, out of the Belly of Aleph came both mem and dalet mem — water and the blood, and the shedding of that blood would have represented the blood of Adam returning to the adama, or as Jesus said it living waters from His belly, to wit; “He that believes on Me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water” (John 7:38).

Jesus would have been  implying that the blood from His own belly would make more of Adam’s kind. What kind is that? Jesus’s kind — glorious. Those who trust the blood and waters from the belly of Jesus would become like the first Adam with the Spirit of Jesus within his soul.

The substance of Adam would be the same substance of Jesus with Him glorified by death and resurrection (John 7:39). John knew really knew his chemistry.

The substance of man would not be clay or any earthly material, but the likeness of the Spirit within Jesus, according to Paul, “The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit” (1 Cor 15:45); therefore the base substance of Adam would have been the Holy Ghost of Jesus in himself, and not red clay at all.

Adam was surely Spirit that would later be covered with some type of transparent flesh — nakedness — that would reveal the blood and water of Jesus within. Adamic man was therefore made in the Image of Jesus, not as Jesus was at birth, but with Him resurrected in a newly acquired incorruptible Divine Substance.

However, that was the newer creature Adam. Common, mortal men are more like the “old creature” perhaps the “creeping thing” (Gen 1:28) — a lower state of man who would have hosted the serpentine seed of Lucifer to impregnate Eve (Gen 4:1).

With sin a new “man” would have come into existence; an upright, even intelligent creature, with the cunning of Satan within it. That new kind of inglorious man is called in the Hebrew “Ish” and is common mortal mankind with sin in him or her.

No… natural born men and women are not Adam’s kind but in the image of the Beast Remes with nachas within it.

 

 

THE LAW: THE DISTRIBUTION OF LOVE

KEY VERSE: Owe no man any thin, but to love one another for he that loves another has fulfilled the law. (Rom 3:8)

The Bible consists of two books: The Old Testament (OT) and The New Testament (NT). As the name means, the former is the Will of God and about whom qualifies as the heirs of God. The latter is a “codicil” of the former.

 

A codicil to a will is a legal document used to amend, revoke, or add to an existing last will and testament without rewriting the entire document. It serves as an attachment to the original will, ideal for minor changes like updating executors, changing beneficiaries, or amending specific bequests. A codicil must be signed and witnessed with the same legal formalities as the original will. (Electronic Forms LLC 2026)

 

Like a codicil, The NT updates the beneficiaries and makes specific bequests. The NT has the same legal formalities as the OT.  Love is the minor change because it fulfills the legal requirements — the “Law” of God.

The “Law” is legality of the Will of God as written in the OT. The five books of the Law reveal the beneficiaries, the Father of them, and the executor.

The prophets and patriarchs who wrote explanatory things attested to the Law as witnesses to the Will of the Father for the sharing of His divine Estate. To be clear, the OT remains the Will of the Father, and as the sole Executor, the Son executes the Law, to wit:

 

For the Father judges no man but has committed all judgment unto the Son; that all men should honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He that honors not the Son, honors not the Father which has sent Him. (John 5:22-23)

 

The OT is the Will of the Father to be executed by the Son of the Father, named “Yeshua.” That is the legal Name in the Law — Ha’Shem. As such, the NT defines how the Law is operationalized and which points of the Law are crucial to be an heir of God and fellow heirs with the Son.

As one might expect from a codicil, changes to the heirs are allowable for the Son to represent His Father and that He did. Jesus executed the codicil by adding more heirs:

 

That the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of His promise in Christ by the gospel. (Ephes 3:6)

 

The changes must be in both truth and trust. The gospel means the “good news” and that good news is that Gentiles would also be heirs to the Will of God. Jesus even clarified who all the heirs to the Will of God might be:

 

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that “whosoever” believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. (John 3:16)

 

As Executor of the Will of God, the Son had the legal obligation to name the heirs to the Will of God.  The Will of God is that none should perish but live on for perpetuity. As sole legally born heir, the Estate of God would belong to the Son to share as He wished. By grace, the Son chose to share the Will of God, and the codicil did just that, naming “whosoever” without regard to ethnic identity might be heirs.

It was all written but never understood because of the archaic words of the Law. Albeit it was always the Law, few understood, but it even included the family of Cain who received the mark of God because of the mercy of God (Gen 4:15). Not due anything, Cain would be included at the execution of God’s Will, and at His death of the Cross His Will was finished (John 19:30) — both executed and probated.

Like any beast on the Estate of God, so as not to be rustled, God branded Cain with the mark, He “set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him” (Gen 4:15).

Some adversary might want to devour him since he would have had the flesh of the beasts. Paul explained why so in his letter to Peter: “Be sober, be vigilant because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour…” (1 Pet 5:8)

The mark on Cain would have been God overseeing his beasts like any Husbandman might do with his cattle. Cain was branded as such:

 

אוֹת

 

Cain belonged to God, El (א).

Cain was nailed (ו) still, albeit he would wonder the world over; his kind would be like stray cattle of God. The “nails” were Cain’s brand perhaps branded onto the soul of the man.

And lastly, the cross (ת) would make his kind among those who might live forever.

 

The will of God would have been tattooed and pierced on the new kind of man Cain — not an Adamic man but an “Ish” man from “its” mother the woman, Isha (Gen 4:1).

In other words, Cain was mothered by Eve and fathered by the Devil (John 8:44) that was in some Beast. Cain was like one of the creeping things (Gen 1:26), and perhaps a lower state of man as I explained in my book, The Creeping Things of the Bible.

“Whosoever” would include Cain that should be saved because he, as a lower state of man, was “naked” but ashamed in the manner of his supposed father, Adam, and his mother Eve (Gen 2:25).  “Naked,” in that sense, would mean “exposed” compared to before sin wherein naked meant “transparent.”

Cain’s countenance was exposed to God and Cain did not deny what he had done and felt shame.

His shame was the sin of murder, not his nakedness. In other words, his sin was exposed to God and God would have seen him as walking, talking sin. That condition is called “iniquity” (Psalm 51:5). His iniquity was showing for he would do things even worse than beasts do, but his mark was by the grace of God to save the divine spark of God that remained in Cain. That was the letter yod in bad “naked” (ʿerom; עֵירֹם), compared to the Messiah (וֹ) in good “naked” (ʿarom; עָרוֹם).

With that explained, the seed of Cain, perhaps dark Africans and East Asians, are part of the Promise of God, according to John 3:16.

But you thought Cain’s kind all drowned in the flood! See my book, The Arks of Tubal-Cain, which disputes that from both world geography and the Bible itself.

Hence, the codicil to the Will of God would have included Cain’s kind and all nations would be included in who should be saved. Yeshua as the Son (genetics) of the Father sorted that out back in The Book of Genesis (chapter four). Can you not see that Jesus was including even the seed of Cain who was marked as His fellow heir so long ago?

Often people of the western world think that they are the chosen people of God and us alone. We too, because of degeneration, are of the Wicked One and are no better than Cain.

As bad naked man, Cain was marked with the letter yod in his nakedness. The letter yod, with the sound Ya, is the divine spark of God that began, or jump started, the Creation.

Yeshua (יֵשׁוּעַ) said, “Marvel not; you must be born again” (John 3:7). Yeshua is “Ya saves” as His Name means.

 

Yod (יֵ) the “spark of God” in Yeshua.

Shin (שׁ) the consuming Presence of God.

Vav (וּ) the binding forces between heaven and earth, or the invisible and visible realms.

Ayin (עַ) the divine vision of God, or God manifested to mankind.

 

The Name “Yeshua” points toward transformation, dalet — the Way to “Salvation” Yesua (יְשׁוּעָה), with the added “h” (hey) represents Yesua.

Note that the breath (hey) of God (Ya) was in Yesua (“salvation”). Jesus was always “salvation,” but the Breath of God, or Him beheld, as the letter hey means, indicates that the man Yeshua was always in Yesua as the Breath of God.

Because the Jews were not savvy that Yeshua was in Yesua all along, they have temporarily lost fellowship with God and are not among the heirs of God until the last reading of the Will (Rev 7:1-8). As such, The Book of Revelation reveals the nature of God’s Estate, that it is His Estate to be settled, and those who inherit His Estate will be according to His Divine Will.

Bad naked people will be exposed as demons and adversaries, rather than children of God.

For those who are born again, by adoption, they are promised to be fellow heirs with the Son.

 

According as He has chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love; having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of his will to the praise of the glory of His grace, wherein He has made us accepted in the beloved. (Ephes 1:4-6)

 

To be legal, all terms of a will must be defined.

Who are “us” that God has chosen? Paul defined that for us: “…to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus” (Ephes 1:1).

He was speaking to saints at Ephesus, but there were other saints elsewhere. Just what is a “saint?” For that, we turn to scripture from the witness, David: “O love the Lord, all you His saints: for the Lord preserves the faithful and plentifully rewards the proud doer” (Psalm 31:23).

First off “preserved” is not saved; it is put within a vessel until the time comes for further use, for instance, preserved to be saved sometime in the future.

A “saint” is חָסִיד chaciyd in the Hebrew — “the faithful ones” (Strong 2006). The psalm agrees with that\, using the words, “the faithful.” What do the faithful ones do? Do the Will of God. Faithful people are dynamic to the end… “He that endures to the end shall be saved” (Mat 10:22). That was preached to the Jews, but “he” in context is all inclusive, and for both men and women.

Still observing the power in words, saints are the faithful ones. Just how long must faith endure? To the end, most certainly so long as the brain still functions. Scripture contains references to faith:

 

·         No faith.

·         Little faith.

·         Faith.

·         Faith as a grain of mustard seed.

·         Faith to move mighty mountains.

·         The faith of Abraham.

·         The faith of God.

 

(You find the passages.)

 Faith is a variable, but at a minimum, even a little faith will preserve the saint. Faith is trusting God throughout time. “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for; the evidence of things not seen” (Heb 11:1).

What is your hope? Most sane people would want to live forever; and that Paradise in heaven is for real and is obtainable. It is realizing that something that you cannot even see is as real as what you can actually see.

With that said, a saint is one with his or her mind on the invisible things of God that to them are as real as the Holy Thing (Jesus) that can be seen. With that said, many Jews still trust that Yeshua is real but has yet to be revealed.

We’ll let Yeshua Execute His Will for them.

Hope is a mental dynamic and so is seeing the Holy Ghost is as real as the Person of God, or as Jesus. If anyone does not see that, it is blasphemy (Mat 12:31).

“Blasphemy” would be denying either that the Holy Ghost does exist, or that it is not the Ghost of the previously dead man, Jesus.

“Hope” is an optimistic state of mind, desire, or expectation for a positive future outcome, often in the face of uncertainty or adversity” (Lawler 2022). Hope is a cognitive state; and what you think has a bearing on your future state of existence.

The “faithful” would be those who understand that Jesus is truly God and can save as His Name means; not just for a few minutes of guilt, but his thoughts that exist when death ensues.

Sobriety us understanding that could be right now, hence, “…knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed” (Rom 3:11).

“Now” is any moment in time. Even Paul said that: “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for…” Faith is always measured presently, not in the past nor the expectation for the future. That itself implies that “election” is now as it was for the soul of the first man, Adam. His “now” was then.

Paul referred to election as before the foundation of the world. When the heavens were created that was before the foundation of the world so, where would one look for election? In The Book of Genesis when the things of heaven were created.

Souls were created in heaven, and then, God breathed a living soul into Adam. It was his kind and his kind alone that were elected. That is supported by scripture when God said so,  and it was done:

 

Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth. (Gen 1:26)

 

God named the beasts on earth and foremost Adam was among them. The Hebrew word translated “dominion” indicates that only Adam’s kind “crumbled” from the Elohim of God and none of the others. That answers the question, When did election occur? Before the foundation of the world when the Spirit of God went into only Adam’s kind. Mankind was elected, not lower states of men than Adam without the Elohim of God in them.

Now back to the key verse: “Owe no man any thing but to love one another: for he that loves another has fulfilled the law.”

With that said, the Law requires participation. We must love one another, God inclusive; so according to the Law of God, we must love others and God.  He had revealed the metrics of love on stone for perpetuity.

People are often confused about love.

Love is not just love as we most often think of it. “He that loves not knows not God for God is love” (1 John 4:8).

Love is not an emotion. You cannot fall in love with God or even someone else. Love just exists because it is in you if you have God within. Love is having God within the inner most person — the soul. That invisible faculty must have God within to share His love.

Love in the Hebrew is ‘ahab. It is written, “You shall love the Lord (אָהַב ʼahab) your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might” (Deut 6:5). If the soul is the shape of the invisible you, then the heart is the substance within it.

The might in the word ‘ahab would be the letter aleph — the verb in that word. Love seems to be emanated like light for “God is light and in Him is no darkness at all” (1 John 1:15).

Darkness would be the lack of love whereas love would be the Light of God. Love seems to behave like light; light shines (illuminates) and is either diffused, absorbed, or reflected to/from objects, and so it is with divine love.

The second letter in ‘ahab is the hey, representing expansion.

Perhaps ‘ahab love is from El as the dynamic of Elohim. Elohim would be the expansion of El, the very Breath of God.

A particle of El would be Eloha like a seed of the Power of God that is to be multiplied as scripture says to do (Gen 1:28). God would not have been commanding them to multiply biologically but in His love. Love would not therefore emanate from you but from God reflected from you, and you are to share it with others. As you can see, it would not be emotional but like quantum entanglement. (Don’t worry about that.)

Lastly in the word ‘ahab (love), comes the letter bet.

Love would a dynamic described as a cloud by day and a fire by night that leads us where God desires for us to go (Exod 13:21). The cloud, since God is love, would be like seed of love within that is rained upon all on whom it falls. The letter bet represents that probability, and the object of bet is you. In a sense, God rains love on you, and you are to share its waters with others, hence the saying of Jesus:

 

He that believes on Me, as the scripture has said; “Out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.” (John 7:38).

 

Scripture never outright said that, but it was implied several times. That verse seems confusing, but if Jesus is the fountain of living waters with the substance of love, then sharing His love would be like love flowing from your metaphoric “belly” — your soul.

 Jesus, speaking at the Feast of Booths, was likely referring to the ritual of pouring waters; where a priest would pour water from the pool of Siloam onto the altar. Jesus implied that it was Himself, not the Temple ritual, which was the true source of this "living water." Living water represents the flow of love from God to others like a stream a flowing.

Living waters of love cannot be dammed up. To be alive it must always flow.

In the past, the priest ensured the continued flow of the waters of God, but now it is you that are the priests of God (1 Pet 2:9); it is you who must keep love flowing from God from yourselves onto others.

Think of yourselves as a reservoir of love like a camel. A camel carries a reservoir of water and so long as the camel is alive the water, in a sense, flows as the camel continues the long journey.

Camels do not transport water, but it exists in the fat of its hump (for the dromedary). That hump would be like the lump of which Paul wrote; “A little leaven leavens the whole lump” (Gal 5:9) and the leaven would be like love.

A little amount of love for others would leaven the whole lump of us, just as the fat in the hump of a camel is like living water poured out at just the right time to keep the camel alive and moving.

Again, love is not an emotion but a divine substance from the “Belly” of God, symbolized by the cloud or fire in The Old Testament.

The contents of both the pillar of a cloud and pillar of the cloud would not have been seeds of rain or photons of light, but seeds of love — the quantum of particles of El in a cloud or fire of Elohim.

 Elohim would be the flow of love from place to place in individual smaller packets of Eloha — the smaller seeds of Elohim flowing. Love would be the movement and transfer of the love of God from those with Christ in them to others.

It is not that you channel the love of God but are like individual buckets of water from the well of God that contains the world from perishing. It is not you that saves the world but the love of God in you. From where comes love? From God; you need only to share the Existence of God with any who you might encounter.

A Christian who does not spread love, would be like a dam in a stream that is too high and stops the flow of water rather than continue its flow. Rather than a dynamic of the Power of God, the stagnant Christian would be an impedance.

Millions of books have been written about love, and albeit divine love is not romantic, the Dynamic of love is called “Virtue” (Mark 5:30) — the spread of the Goodness of God.

You are not to owe any man “any thing but,” as the key verse began, indicating that your debt to mankind is indeed love. It is not of yourselves but from God.

God is love and it is a gift of God that you must share with others. The distribution of love is by grace, “For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God” (Ephes 2:8). You do not find grace, but grace finds you, and when found it is to be shared as a gift exchange from God to spread to others to cover their backs.

Noah did not “find” (מָצָא matsaʼ) grace (Gen 6:8); but grace “came forth” from God without Noah even looking for it. The grace that Noah had came from God and it was love, so Noah built an ark to share the grace of God with those he loved.

All of mankind could have found love because the door of the ark was open to all who would go in. The same goes for the love of God… “…many be called, but few chosen” (Mat 20:16).

The calling card of God would be like a cloud of love, but even though love abounds, few are chosen (Greek eklektos).

Eklektos is not like some election as in a democracy, but “from the Lego.”

That should look familiar because the Logos is the Word of God. Lego means “I speak” and Logos the Word and the sound of Lego.

It would not be that God just selected some from the many, but the Word was spread and only a few received it! The Word of love would have been directed at “whosoever” (John 3:16) but few would have heard the Word (Mat 11:15) and would not have absorbed the Lego.

Lego would therefore be the spread of love via the Word of God. If love is not spread, then God remains silent. Even many Christians make God silent when they are silent.

Jesus was heir to God, and since God is love, then Jesus would be the “Distributor” of love. As the Son of God, He has the right to share His love with anyone who is of Him, or “in Christ,” as it is written.

Without Christ in you, there would be no right to the Kingdom of God and the things of His Estate. Foremost among God’s possessions would be the abundance of love, and enough for all His heirs to have a share, even those that are His by adoption.

Perhaps now, the reader either better understands divine love or is even more confused by how God works in mysterious ways.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NAKEDNESS

 

This commentary provides much esoteric, or hidden  knowledge, and is important for us to humble ourselves for God to lift us up. Now consider a show that I am ashamed that I watched.

In the sitcom “Seinfeld” (Season 9; episode 9) called “The Apology,” Jerry dated a woman who was comfortable being naked. It disgusted him to see a grown woman sitting casually on the sofa doing nothing but being naked.

Unlike most men, Seinfeld found that disgusting. His male friends did not understand, so he described “good naked” and “bad naked.” Unknown to Jerry, he was describing a biblical concept from the passages which follow:

 

·         “The man and his wife “were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed” (Gen 2:24) ostensibly in the Presence of God.

·         After eating of the “Wisdom Tree, “The eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons, and they heard the Voice of the Lord God walking in the Garden in the cool of the day and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the Presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the Garden.” (Gen 3:7:8)

 

Before sin, the two would have been glorious and full of glory; כָּבוֹד Kabowd. Within them would have been the “Image” of God, Tselem (צֶלֶם), that provided the Glory of God (Elohim) to them. The essence of the Presence of God would be Kabowd in the form of Tselem.

Now to analyze Kabowd first:

 

·         Qof means in a hidden dimension.

·         Bet symbolizes emergence from hidden probabilities.

·         Vav means bound in both heaven and earth.

·         Dalet indicates entry into what we call the world.

 

In summary, the state of Adam was like one emerging from a non-material world into a material one. The “hidden probabilities,” is perhaps Calvin’s doctrine of “election” for only Adam’s kind would have emerged from the heavens unto the world with God, Elohim, in him.

Now you might see that scripture begins to make sense. Adam was before space/time and matter and of Elohim; and after entry into it, Tselem — the very Image of Elohim in bodily shape as with Jesus (Luke 3:22). That Image would have been “full of glory” of which the apostle Paul wrote to Peter in the case of Jesus by then gone:

 

That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perishes, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ; whom having not seen, you love; in whom, though now you see Him not, yet believing, you rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory. (1 Pet 1:7-8)

 

Paul compared to the fullness of glory to the human soul (1 Pet 7:9), “Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls” (1 Pet 1:9).

Jesus was the Glory of God in the shape of a man and as such “the last Adam” (1 Cor 15:45), “The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening Spirit.”

Therefore, Yeshua (the last Adam) was the Spirit in the first Adam that was a living soul. Like Jesus, Adam would have had Elohim in his person from the bodily Presence of God (Yeshua).  John described the creation of Adam eloquently:

 

In the beginning was the Word (Jesus to be made flesh), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God; the same was in the beginning with God.

All things (like Adam) were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made, in Him was life; and the life was the Light of men. (John 1:1-3)

 

The substance of God in Adam was His Light as God said it, “Let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give Light upon the earth: and it was so” (Gen 1:15). The lights of heaven (Gen 1:6) would cross the firmament between heaven and earth, and would be the lights of men, most assuredly the immortal souls prepared for only Adam’s kind.

Just as “stars” in Revelation reveal angels, the lights of heaven would surely reveal primordial souls of men.

That action was God’s selection, or “election” as translators called it; “(God) has chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love” (Ephes 1:4).

Adam would have been created from the very Light of God. As such, the soul of Adam (Tselem) would be Adam as a “shadow” or “phantom” of God (Strong 2006). God is Light and in Him is no darkness at all” (1 John 1:5). Hence, even the shadow of God — the “living soul” of the man, Adam, would have been full of Light as John wrote (John 1:3). [1]

The Light of God within the living soul of the man, Adam, would have been the Glory of God — the Presence of the Light of God within the soul of Adam.

Christians must do the math, so to speak. Since Paul was writing about selection before the foundation of the world, the readers must visit The Book of Genesis to find out how so, when, and why.

John even added where to find that (John 1). Genesis was the beginning of things just as John and Paul revealed. God would not have been a “Particular Baptist” but would baptize all (General Baptists) of Adam’s kind as His people.

Paul wrote:

 

There is one body, and one Spirit, even as you are called in one hope of your calling: one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. (Ephes 5:4-6)

 

Adam was baptized by the Elohim of God and was raised from the waters as a living soul. Baptism of the Spirit (The living waters of God — HaShamayim). The baptism of Jesus was in the same manner as Adam was baptized:

The Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon Him, and a Voice came from heaven, which said, “You are My beloved Son; in You, I AM well pleased. (Luke 3:22) 

 

Adam was also baptized by the Spirit of God in bodily shape when he was made alive.

God provided for Adam a living soul, then put his soul into a material vessel.

For Jesus, it was somewhat different; God Elohim always existed and onto Himself in the womb of Mary, He added the flesh like a sinful man to become sin for us (2 Cor 5:21). As such, Jesus required baptism first to cleanse the disgust from His flesh in preparation for God Elohim to enter His Vessel.

Now imagine the Spirit of God (Elohim) in bodily shape (Eloha) entering the man, Adam. Jesus always existed but not in the flesh of a Beast like us. He was glorified (John 7:39) when He received new flesh much different than before the crucifixion.

So, what does all this have to do with “good naked” and “bad naked?”

Tselem was the Image of God and the substance kawbod.

However, the next act of God was a covering for the soul of man. Before that, the substance of Adam would have been the Elohim “Spirit” of God in the shape of a man without a covering. Then “the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul” (Gen 2:7). God then made a vessel and put the Spirit in the shape of a man into the man, Adam.

Adam would have therefore pre-existed as a Spirit-shaped man. In the creation process, that Spirit, shaped like Adam, would have received a covering. Translated “dust” let’s examine the substance. Dust would be the earth, ‘eres in the Hebrew, but Adam was formed from the dust (‘apar) of the ground (adama).

His covering would have been a particle (‘apar) of adama. So, what is the substance adama?

 

Adam is the root word (אֲדָמָה) of “the ground,” thus a material in substance. Let’s examine that material:

 

אֲ represents the Power of God (El) as Light.

דָ symbolizes the Way or process to become matter.

מָ represents the Living Waters, or Holy Spirit Elohim.

ה is symbolized by a man-like figure beholding, or praising, God.

 

Adama would have been Spirit from God in the shape of a man. It would not necessarily have been ground or even clay.

The vessel for the Spirit of God in Adam would have been some divine covering, that Adam was naked and not ashamed tells us much.

Divinely “naked” is symbolized by the Hebrew word ‘arom (עָרוֹם). Without going into all the symbolism, I visulaized naked and not ashamed, as “transparent,” and AI CoPilot^® deduced the same thing.

That situation, with adama as the covering of Adam, makes sense since it would cover the Glory of God in the man-like Spirit.

As a covering, adama can either be full of something, or even empty. Adamic man was surely full of the Spirit of God and was not ashamed. Since Glory is the Goodness of God, adama would have been “good naked” as Seinfeld called it.

Adam was not ashamed because he would have been transparent and the Glory of God revealed within him.

Now for “bad naked” (‘erom; עֵירֹם compared to ‘arom (עָרוֹם). They are both modes of nakedness because they share three letters עָרם. The difference is between the letters yod (י) and vav (וֹ).

The letter vav represents, among other things, the Messiah. That agrees with the relationship between the first Adam and the last Adam of which Paul wrote (from earlier). That would be “good naked.”

Bad naked is not all bad but with the letter yod (י) alone, it is God Ya (the sound of His Voice). Bad naked would be without the quickening Spirit of the last Adam, but only the potentiality of Father God, Ya.

Just as with Seinfeld’s concept of bad naked, Adam had new flesh from the old creature making God within himself hidden… and he was indeed ashamed.

After sin, God Ya would have been hidden by flesh that was acquired from some beast — perhaps an organic covering, containing chromosomes from some beast of the field.

Among the beasts of the field that are listed are the “creeping things” — lower states of men as the Hebrew word Remes indicates (Gen 1:26). (See my book, The Creeping Things of the Bible for more.)

Bad naked, to be ashamed of it, would be God hidden from view with organic flesh as a covering. Therefore, the flesh has become the idols of what was once Adam’s kind but are now Enosh kind — common mortal men.

Cain was the first of that kind, “Ish” as the genetics of Isha (the woman). Before, God had been the Creator “Husbandman,” but after sin, the woman would have become the “husbandman” with her as the creator (Gen 4:1), or as John wrote the words of Jesus, “For all that is in the world: the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world (1 John 2:16).

Of what flesh was Adam ashamed? That with sin, and the flesh of the old creature covering his divine body, Yahweh would have been hidden from sight.

Adam was not totally depraved but ashamed of his flesh.

God remedied that by the grace with which he covered the beastly flesh of Adam and his mate: “Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins and clothed them” (Gen 3:21).

God would have covered bad naked but good naked was also still covered. By grace, we must be born again and engendered with a new Spirit (Elohim) of El of which we are never to be ashamed, as it is written, “For whosoever shall be ashamed of Me and of My Words, of him shall the Son of man (Jesus) be ashamed, when He shall come in His own Glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels” (Luke 9:26).

Jesus — God in the flesh — upon death and resurrection was glorified (John 7:39). As “bad naked” creatures, we would be ashamed of a soul covered by the flesh of a beast, but with a particle (Eloha) of God Elohim within us, we should not be ashamed for that one particle (Eloha) of the blood of Jesus would cover the shameful naked flesh of His new creatures. That is the meaning of “born again” (John 3:7).

Somehow God shielded Adam and Eve’s corrupted flesh with grace that He provided out of mercy, for in the beginning, they had been His Creatures.

Satan to Job called that shield a “hedge” and surely it was the Garment of Adam that covered Job, and later even John the Baptist, who wore a coat of camel’s skin. (More about that in a future commentary.)

Seinfeld… there does exist both good naked and bad naked. Whereas, good naked is transparency of some sort for God to be seen within, perhaps the very YY-chromosomes of God; bad naked means “exposed” to the sin within mankind, not even covered with the flesh of beasts (John 8:44). Grace covers all sin and it is a from God for us to not be ashamed of Him in our souls, for those who belong to Him.
