THE NATURE OF THE BEAST WITHIN US - Part 1 of 2

 The Garden in Eden was really the Garden of God and it consisted of many kinds of plants. We think of a Garden as plants, or vegetation, but the Garden of God had beings planted in it as well.

God planted, or literally, “struck in” (Strong 2006) His crop. How did He strike man? He “breathed into his (Adam’s) nostrils the breath of life” (Gen 2:7). Adama, in the Hebrew is “ground.” (ibid). God “puffed” unto Adam life.

All living things have one ingredient that makes them alive. That ingredient is carbon. Carbon was not formed on Earth but was formed in the beginning in the hottest of the hot suns and was emitted onto this planet in just the right amounts to support life. Carbon, scientifically, is “star dust,” so no wonder angelic beings are represented as stars in scripture.

When did God plan the Garden? When He created the firmament — the “cosmos” (Gen 1:6) from the Light that was divided into two parts, ultimately, the invisible and matter. He made the carbon for his “crop” in the second order of things.

Where am I headed with this amount of detail? That indeed, God really planted a Garden, and all of us are the “trees” of the Garden, not that trees were not real in the Garden of God, but trees are a metaphor for mankind.

When the Bible speaks of trees, often it refers to mankind, and the fruits of the trees as their characteristics which together form the human genome, or nature, of mankind.

Recently, it has been discovered that the biology and nature of mankind is encoded in the human genome as DNA in their chromosomes. It appears that the nature of the Beast was “puffed” into Eve as the “mother of all living” adama (Gen 3:20). (By coincidence?) the genomes of women do plant mitochondrial DNA unto the male creatures, but the males are not equipped with that feature. Hence the female of the species has become the “husbandman” as well.

In breeding, “husbandry” is “the care, cultivation, and breeding of crops and animals” (Merriam-Webster 2023). After sin, Eve became the “husbandman,” to wit: “She conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the Lord” (Gen 4:1). She did it, not Adam whose assignment was to be the “husbandman” for God (Gen 2:15). Although Adam “knew” her, (yada), [1] he only saw her do her thing. He saw Eve “puff” life from her womb!

How about what she bore? “It” was not another Adama but an ‘Is in the Hebrew. She made a being extant; she brought the creature Cain into existence. She did not call Cain a “man” at all, but referred to him as essentially a “life” in general whose kind was “Qayin.” Coincidentally, the root noun of Qayin is “Spear” or “Lance.”

Remembering that Cain killed Abel, ostensibly with a spear of some sort. “Righteous Abel” as he was called by Jesus (Mat 23:35) meant perhaps two things: (1) That Abel’s countenance, or nature, was righteous, and (2) that Abel was not of Adam and Eve but God and Eve. On the other hand, Cain’s countenance was not glorious as God expected from him. (Gen 4:5). Cain was of a different nature than Abel, so Cain, with the nature of the Beast, killed the son of Eve who had the glorious nature of God.

Whereas Eve created Cain, she only bore Abel. Adam had not carnally “known” Eve when Abel was conceived, so, whereas Cain may have been a product of carnal knowledge from Lucifer, Abel was the product of the Glorious knowledge of God — Goodness.

Cain, was therefore, of the Wicked One and was the “son of Perdition.”

Now think forward six “days” when righteous Jesus was pierced with a spear by Longinus the centurion (John 19:34). The Gentile centurion was the “son” or gens of Cain. He was Cain’s kind, but he was regenerated righteous by the blood and water from Jesus above. Longinus (“The Lance”) was the redemption of Cain’s genera in Eve’s kind. Now, he is “Saint Longinus.”

Abel was God’s “Tree” so to speak that He planted in His Garden. Strong’s Dictionary supports that the “trees” of the Garden were “firm” things. We need not look at trees of God’s Garden as vegetation alone, but all His creatures, including mankind. As such, a “tree” may refer to any life in general, or any existence that has a carbon chain; that which I believe Solomon called the “silver cord” (Ecc 12:6).

Jesus is the “Tree of Life” as John the Revelator saw Him (Rev 12:22). That is because that “Tree” remains in the midst of the Garden of God and has peculiar fruits, twelve in number. Those twelve fruits are not vegetation, but all together, the countenance or Genome of God whose “Firmness” is called, “Jesus.” (Jesus is the firm substance of the Invisible God.)

Hence, Jesus is the “Tree of Life” planted by God in a genetic sense. As the “Son of David,” Jesus was of the gens of David and an heir to the throne of David because he had the genes of David in His flesh (The “Son of Man.”).

On the other hand, Jesus was the “Son of God,” although He was not created (John 1:1-14). He was of the Genome of God and as such His Invisible Image was the Holy Ghost — the “Shadow” that God casts while on Earth. Because Jesus is the Genome of God as the “Son,” then Jesus is heir to God’s throne in another realm.

That the “Tree of Life” represents Jesus seems to be true. Blind Bartimaeus, even though born blind, saw Jesus as a Tree walking (Mark 8:24). He sensed the shadow of Jesus and knew that He was God. That is all that is required of us, and Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave” convinced Pilate that the “Shadow” of the Person of Jesus was God; that the Ghost of Jesus was a “fragment” or “Substance” of the Invisible God.

Adama were “plants’ as well. God “puffed,” and Adam was planted in His Garden: 

7 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)

 In chapter one, the soul of Adam was generated. In chapter two, God planted that soul in the ground (adama) and it became Adam. Adam was a “tree” from the “Root” of God.

Scripture even refers to God as the “Root” — “If the Root be holy, so are the branches” (Rom 11:16). Adam was intended to be the “Vine” and to multiply the genes of God to do that. It would not have been by carnal knowledge that he obeyed! Jesus, the “Last Adam” (1 Cor 15:45) would “multiply” rightly and uprightly.

The Root of God, not to be sacrilegious, is like a potato with its eye that when planted the vine grows. Jesus is the Vine from the Root, as scripture reveals.

Hence, multiplying was not intended to be by carnal knowledge but by passing down the Genome of God through the generations. Because of that, I believe that Genesis 4:1 is provenance that the first sin was many in number, perhaps all Ten, and fornication was the passing along of carnal sin genetically.

Who was the “Lord” of Eve that she made Adam for his pleasure. Not the LORD GOD but the “Lord.” To that point in time, both she and her husband had used the form Adonai Jehovah. Immediately after sin, disrespect occurred… then it was Jehovah alone — the “Lord.” Eve, because of sin, thereafter, had two “masters.”

The etymology of “wife” indicates adulteress and Eve points toward symbiosis as another meaning.

Eve planted a “tree” that would cause others to die when she conceived Cain Cain did just that! Symbiosis is (1) “a cooperative relationship” or (2) existing “in more or less intimate association or close union of two dissimilar organisms” (Merriam-Webster 2023).

The “Serpent” — the “Shadow” of Lucifer, if my thesis is correct, planted dark angelic seeds (genetics) into the womb of Eve, and as such all of Eve’s creatures are like the “Old Creature.” Jesus expanded upon that with the following saying: 

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. (John 8:44)

 Of course, the Devil did not sire anyone but Cain, if I am correct, but because of “sins that are past” (Rom 3:25; genetic sins), all of us inherited the genes of Satan. He is in all of mankind, not his substance, but his nature — his unholy DNA.

Now recall what God said, “You will die.” Neither Eve nor Adam died, but their tree was “trimmed” so to speak — their genetic family tree.

Before they had a glorious genome and afterward inglorious iniquity (depravity). Mankind had degenerated in one degeneration and with the iniquity of Noah’s day, all but eight were totally depraved by miscegenation — the corruption of the genomes of people.

Lucifer, through his “hardness,” corrupted the genes of mankind and only rebirth can restore what Lucifer removed from glorious creatures.

Jesus said it well, “Marvel not, you must be born again” (John 3:7). He told Nicodemus that would not be a repeat of birth but a new birth. Literally, born again, in the Greek, means “engendered from above.” That is what the blood and water did to Longinus when he pierced Jesus. He was sprinkled with the “blood and water” from God!

The blood is obvious but what is the “water”? Was that plasma or something else? Referring to the “division of the waters from the waters” (Gen 1:6), that is literally the separation of the “semen from the semen.” God made the semen of the angels similar but different than the semen of mankind. He “elected” mankind, not the angels, to be his children, or gens. They would be made glorious like Himself!

What is in the semen? Every nuclear cell of the body, including semen, has DNA. Semen are the “Living Waters” of God that God sowed in the ground to make Adam. Adam was to be the “Tree of Life” and was to multiply, but he failed. Hence, God would do so again with Abel, and when he was murdered, He did so with Isaac with the genes of righteous Abraham. And when that failed, God provided His own glorious genes to regenerate all that would be born again.

God knew us before the foundation of the world and loved us even then, and that we should be made holy (Ephes 1:4). Then we were made Holy as He is Holy (1 Pet 1:15). Rebirth is regenned by the Living Waters from the “belly,” or side, just as God generated Adam in the beginning.

The semen from within Lucifer — the serpentine like sperm of the Wicked One — made us genetically unholy, and since sin is in our genomes, there is nothing that we can do about it, but depend on and trust Jesus to make us holy again.

That is “glorification” and at that time is when we have new incorruptible flesh that will never die and never to sin. Sin is the depravity of the flesh and the reason for sin is that your DNA is not only who you are but the nature of Beast, Satan, in you.

Endeavoring to be good cannot edit our genes, but the blood and water from the side of Jesus above can do just that!

Next, we shall continue the commentary that trees represent mankind, and fruits, our nature.
