Paul writes of mysterious things; he even refers to the “mystery of Christ” aS something that was revealed to himself and others:
3 How that by revelation He made known unto me the mystery; as I wrote afore in few words, 4 whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ. (Ephes 3:3-4)
God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. (1 Tim 3:16)
Revealed to be the very tangible
Image of God, His invisible Image, seen by the angels, Paul preached that
divine Person, others believed all those things, and that Person was received
into glory.
Paul wrote of the glory of the celestial
bodies (1 Cor 15:40:41). There are celestial glory and terrestrial — the
heavenly and the worldly — the spiritual and the physical — the soul and the
body.
Paul likens the dead person to a garden
sown in corruption but raised in incorruption. (1 Cor 15:42). That is beginning
of regeneration which is much the same as the original generation in the
beginning.
The corrupted person was sown in the Garden of Eden:
7 And 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. 8 And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. (Gen 2:7-8)
5 Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth: 6 and when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. (Mat 13:5-6)
Adam did not die immediately but
inside he died a celestial death. His soul was no longer glorious but
inglorious because the poison of sin corrupted their glorious image from the
seed of God.
God had planted His seed in the Garden
of God and that seed had different kinds. Only one kind was in the Image of
Himself and that was Adam. We think of Adam as the man person, but the female
and male were of one flesh; they were of the same “kind” (Hebrew; min).
Hence, kind, is a certain
gene pool that is portioned out
The point therein is that mankind
was created glorious because their image was God, the true “Bringer of Light”
or the Celestial One which Lucifer was not; he (it) was darkness, and both Adamas,
the man and the woman, had their glorious genes disturbed. The result was that
on the stony places in the Garden, the ”crop” of God failed, not because of God
as the bad Husbandman, but because they trespassed on soil were they were not
to go.
As a “kind” (min), the species
of God failed, so the Garden that God planted was corrupted. To this day
mankind, from Adam, are all corrupted. However, Jesus was not of Adam; He was of
God. “Adam” (Mary) was merely His “portal” or “vehicle” from the celestial
realm to the terrestrial.
The mystery is that although borne
of a woman, Jesus had Genes from the Father portioned unto Him in the same
manner that God portioned them to Adam; hence the passage in the key verse:
And so, it is written, “The first man Adam was made a living soul;” the last Adam was made a quickening Spirit.” (1 Cor 15:45)
The first man is the “protos
anthropos Adam” in the Greek.
Adam was the prototype human
being, standing upright without an appendage for balance. He was of a different
kind, or family, than the other creatures.
With that said, the prototype man
was not a stooped ape but upright. The stooped creatures were the kind from
Cain who was of the Wicked One.
Cain indubitably was a giant stooped
creature because of two things: He was not upright, and his curse was visible
and there were giants in the Earth in those days (Gen 6:4). Perhaps Cain was Neanderthal
man that have been found in caves and a sort of man and a sort of creature.
Eve was the prototypical female “Adam,”
speaking of kinds. Hence, the first “man” is both the male and female
Adam. Since Eve is the “mother of all living,” (Gen 3:20) and was the one in
whom “sin” was planted, and that both the man, Adam, and the woman Adam, came
first, then Jesus was speaking not so much speaking of people, but kinds
— kinds with the defective genes of Lucifer — the other “image” (nahas)
in them.
Jesus is speaking of the first of
the species with depraved genes from the Wicked One who was the reason the Garden
failed.
Adam’s role was what? To dress
and keep the Garden. He was responsible for keeping it glorious and multiplying
it as we learn from his job descriptions. He failed that, but not him alone for
both male and female Adamas failed God.
The man and the woman prototypes
were to grow living souls in God’s terrestrial Garden, but instead the female
Adam grew dead, or withering, souls from the seed, or genes, of the Wicked One
(1 John 3:12).
The first Garden failed because
sin slipped in. The first Adam-kind were poor husbandmen because they were
deluded into thinking that the so-called image of the “Serpent” was God, and
that they could do as they please.
Paul, in the key verse, was
speaking not of the man, Adam, but the prototype male and female because sin
entered the world by them both!
The “last Adam” was not
necessarily the latest with none thereafter, which is true, but a different “rank”
(ibid) in the Kingdom of God.
In the beginning was the first “rank”
as the Hebrew word in Genesis 1:1 means, so the “last Adam” is the “last rank”
of the kinds that God would make. In other words, Jesus is the last
chance genetically! His Spirit would make mankind alive again, as the word “quickening”
indicates.
Lastly, how is that done? By
regeneration which is much like the prototypical original generation; Jesus
said, “Marvel not; ye must be born again” (John 3:7) or “engendered from above”
(ibid) with the divine and glorious genes of God, Jesus, who reigns “above”
the celestial sphere, in the “Tenth Heaven” above the celestial sphere,
according to the Book of Enoch.
The key verse implies that Adam’s
kind, both male and female, are the walking dead who must be made alive again,
and again with the glorious seeds of God planted in their terrestrial bodies
that will soon return to the dust from which it came to be glorified as Christ
the “Gene Carrier” was glorified (John 7:39).
If you do still do not get it; born
again is when the seed of God via the Holy Ghost is planted in the dust of
the person to be among the “Garden of God,” called “Christians.” It is the
reseeding, but in the end, the crop is ready at the harvest if it is grown and
kept on “good soil” for the duration (Mat 10:22).
So, just when is “salvation”?
So, Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for Him shall He appear the second time without sin unto salvation. (Heb 9:28)
15 This we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first… (1 Thes 4:15-16)
Just as the generation (creation)
was complete after Adamas walked upright (anthropos), the regeneration
is the same — when the dead in Christ will arise and walk upright with Jesus in
Paradise… upright both in body at that time (as new creatures with the Genes of
God) and in Spirit.
Christians are those sown
by the Spirit of God and made alive again, as the key verse says, but once alive
the Seed must survive the tribulations of the world, just as back in the Garden
of Eden. To do that, requires one thing — to keep on the “Garment of God” — the
Comforter, the Holy Ghost of Jesus, until He comes again as the “Husbandman” to
harvest the crop.
Our hope is to be a
portion of the harvest of the Gene pool that God planted in us when alive. He
planted it, now all that we need to do is trust Him for the crop to survive the
wiles of the Devil. That Garment of God must be kept on for the duration, never
taking it off as Noah did when he slept. [1]
