ON TRANSHUMANISM - Part 15

 TRANS

 The English word, “trans,” is “borrowed from Latin trāns (‘across, on the far side, beyond’) (Wiktionary 2022). Therefore, transhumanism is beyond humanism.

The first occasion of that is the word, “Hebrew” which means, “Passed Over, Passer Over, One Who Transits, Flower Forth, Deducer, He Who Looks At Something From All Sides” (Abarim Pub. 2006-2022). Therefore the “Hebrew” word identifies the language of Semitic-speaking Israelites. The descendants of Shem at some time in history began the use of that language. Many believe Hebrew is the original tongue of mankind; the one which Adam spoke. It is believed that Eber, the direct ancestor of Abraham, and the great-grandson of Noah, is for whom that language was named.

Because Abraham came from Ur of the Chaldees in Mesopotamia, it is believed that he crossed over some river. He did; he passed over the Euphrates and the Jordon. The area between those two rivers is historically called, “Transjordan.”

Because, as I have written, Abraham was regenned by God with incorruptible flesh in the fiery furnace of Shinar, Abraham was transformed by God. As Jesus would say it, Marvel not; he was born again. But rather than return to his mother’s iniquitous womb and to his father’s depravity, God made “Abram” a new creature, named “Abraham,” going from “Exalted Father” (Abram) to “Their Shield” (Abraham) (Ibid). Abraham would be the “Trojan ® prophylactic” that would protect God’s new ‘seed.”

Although his name was changed by adding a little “God” to it by inserting the Hebrew vowel “he,” his new purpose was stated, “Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee” (Gen 17:5). The addition of he comes from yod he waw he (JHWH, the Tetragrammaton) because, as it appears, Abram had something from God added to him to make him unique!

As such, Abraham would be a new “Adam” because his genome was “corrected.” Although Abraham would not mean “Father Of Many Nations” genetically speaking, his seed would plant a new “Garden” again in Eden — the fertile crescent — as it seemed to have been, according to scripture. What would happen when Abram crossed the Jordan River from Haran to the Promised Land? 

² And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: ³ And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. (Gen 12:2-3)

 “Bless” in that passage is figuratively “an act of adoration” as God would “kneel” to Abram (Strong 1890). That may not be so clear unless the reader remembers that the centurions mockingly took a knee to Jesus (Mat 27:29) when he propitiated His own blood genes for all mankind.

There is something mysterious about the “blood and water” of Jesus. Rather than blood alone; John wrote that Jesus came by “blood and water” (1 John 5:6). Remembering that the Hebrew word for water is figuratively “semen” from Genesis chapter one, then blood and water makes more sense. Jesus, the “Last Adam” came from the same Genome as Adam; not to be crude, but from the very “Semen” and Genetics of God. He came to transform the creatures of old into new creatures (2 Cor 15:7). It seems that the blood would cleanse the old creature who would be regenned!

Unlike most of us who must wait on the General Resurrection for regeneration, it appears that Abram was regenned while in the fiery furnace (The Book of Jasher), and that by the time Lazarus died, who was comforted in Abraham’s Bosom, the soul of Abraham was alive and well (Luke 16). Abram would have crossed-over, not only the Jordan River, but when he died, he would have crossed-over to the Garden of Eden that once was at that place (Gen 13:10).

All the while Abraham was physically in “Paradise” for a spell, he knew that his destiny was in Paradise in another realm. Not only that, but Abraham crossed-over Hades as well because in the “Third Heaven,” there was a “great gulf” between him and Hell (Luke 16:26).

With that said, the “son (gens) of Eber,” Abram passed over the Euphrates, passed over the Jordan, passed over hellish Sodom and Gomorrah, and more importantly, upon death, passed-over Hell for Paradise. In like manner, those of his great faith will be rewarded, according to the Abrahamic Covenant, when God blessed Abram and changed him inside.

Paradise is surely called “Abraham’s Bosom” because of those with the “faith of Abraham”! Get this: “So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham” (Gal 3:9). God will “take a knee” to us with a blessing because the faithful are the seed of Abraham and will reside with Abraham in Paradise.

The use of the word “bosom” is polite-talk much like “bowels” in scripture. It would mean that the faithful are from the seed of Abraham which in turn, would be from the “Semen” of God.

Because Abraham is in Paradise with his blessing, then as the faithful seed of Abraham, Christians are safe in Abraham’s Bosom, so to speak until the Resurrection. We are comforted, not because of the Promised Land, but because of the Promised Realm wherein the domain of the faithful will be glorious like the Garden!

Abraham would be, in today’s vernacular, a “trans-genome” in that God transformed his genetics to more like His own. Just as Abram was in Christ because Christ would come from his “bosom,” those with the faith of Abraham would essentially be in God’s Bosom, just awaiting engendering from above (“born again”).

All the righteous are “Hebrews” in the sense that they too will cross-over the great divide between Hell and Paradise. Essentially, those who are persuaded to become as Christ pass-over torments to Glory!

There is a reason that Jesus died during the Passover; just as death passed over the Hebrew-speaking Israelites in Egypt, death passed over the repentant thief on the cross (Dismus) as well as any who saw Jesus as the Flesh and Spirit of God — the very blood (genes) and water (vessel) of Yahweh! The water and blood that gushed from the pierced side of Jesus was God emptying the “Cup” of Living Water, containing the glorious genes of God for all who would drink of his “vessel.”

Just as God divided the waters (Semen) from the waters (semen) in transforming Abram to Abraham, by giving him new seed with new DNA, in the Resurrection Christians should be regenned as well when they cross-over death and pass-over Hell into Paradise.
