THE NATURE OF THE BEAST WITHIN US - part 2 of 2

 Some cannot see the Garden of God. For them the Bible is their “god.” The Bible is merely the parchment, vellum, or paper on which the Word of God is recorded. Hence, the Bible is the “paper” on which men have written the inspired Words of God. (2 Tim 3:16). That word is “scripture,” or document, on which the journal of God is written. That writing is God’s theopneustos — the Breath of God.

To understand God’s Breath, we must turn to the Torah wherein “breath” is ruaḥ — the Spirit of God.

Now to turn to science to support the spiritual world; science, by definition, does not investigate things unseen nor that cannot be measured. Hence, the spiritual world is beyond the science (supernatural) in that science investigates only the natural. In other words, there is a realm, or Estate, that exists that has gone unexplored.

Genesis is an account of the Husbandry of God. In the beginning, all that existed was God alone. As John wrote, God was all alone, and as such all things were made by Him. God is not a physical substance, but of a Substance that we call “Spirit.”

The Spirit is the Power of God that exceeds all things. God used that Power, in the beginning, by doing first things first. In the beginning (Gen 1:1) is “rank one.” God was establishing an Estate that was meant to be paradisical, or glorious. God pre-existed all things and is an unmade entity. He is “the alpha and omega; the beginning and the ending” (Rev 1:8) because He always was, is, and shall be. Hence scripture is the journal of God that He breathed life unto from beginning to the ending, from Genesis to Revelation.

In begins with God’s Will. That can be taken two ways: (1) a legal document or (2) the faculty of decision making. God decided to make a plantation and grow all types of things. That was His Will, given the opportunity to do so or not. To legalize His Plan for His Estate, God wrote His Will, by the hands of man, but transmitted by inspiration. That original will was the Torah or the first five books of the Old Testament. The codicil to that will is the New Testament. It explains the Testament of God.

Now let us consider how inspiration operates. It is the “sense of agency” that provides to us the “sense of ownership.” The writers of scripture have a sense of ownership, and most credit Moses for writing the Torah. However, Moses was not there to write the will of God, so God breathed unto Moses the truth. As such, Moses sensed God as the Agent who provided the information. In a sense, if not actually, God took Moses on a journey from the beginning of existence to his time.

It may have not been physical like Enoch’s, but nonetheless, Moses apparently saw God preparing for and building His Estate which began with two people in a Garden that had dimensions and natural things. There were no unnatural things in the Garden, but somehow one unnatural thing crawled through the portal from another realm. That new existence called itself “The Bringer of Light” (Lucifer) but rather brought darkness; that which God had divided from the Light (Gen 1:4).

The only scientific conclusion that seems possible is that God divided the natures of glorious man from the fallen angels. They were of a different “semen,” or genetics. God made man a little lower than the angels which is implied since the Body of Christ was of the same substance. Not that the flesh of Jesus was deficient but “lower” in the sense that it was lacking something. What Jesus lacked was the genetics of the angel kingdom. His human form was with both human and Divine genetics as the gens of man and the gens of God, as “son” implies.

The word “son” means genetics. As an example, the Julian Caesars were the “Sons of Julii,” meaning that their kind was of the genome of Julii just as Jesus was of the family of David. Genesis is all about genetics, or generation. Generation of what? All things; first off, the substances for the unseen and the seen — “the heaven and the earth” (Gen 1:1), the former of which science neglects.

Then God made things. Ostensibly, in chapter one of Genesis, God made the souls of mankind by breathing His Spirit into a vessel. Jesus called His vessel a “cup” in the English version (Mat 26:39). Mankind refers to that vessel as the “soul.” That soul was planted in chapter two of Genesis. It is God’s “journal” of how He planted the Garden in this world. It is a book of husbandry with the journal that goes with the Garden of the Lord.

The Spirit within the soul of man was the Image of God. It was the very Genome of God; the same Genome that He seeded in Mary to transport the Soul of Jesus into the adama (ground) of Mary.

As the “Son of Man” Jesus was the Son of Adam, hence Luke wrote that genealogy. Jesus was placed into the realm of the Earth by planting the Genome of God in the womb of Mary (her innermost world) just as in the beginning. Those in Christ are part of the new crop on God’s Estate.

Perhaps it is obvious that men are as trees. Anyone into husbandry knows of hybridization. Jesus was a new hybrid of man; the hybrid that God intended all along! That hybrid was glorious; Jesus was the perfect “Tree” that would never wither!

Because the Tree was so excellent and splendid, God transplanted the Tree into Paradise (Luke 23:43). But that “Tree” is not grounded. It is like a tree walking as Bartimaeus saw it.

God planted a Garden for two. That was His lesser plantation that would suffice until things multiplied. Now the Garden of God is a great city with dimensions, substance, and mass in another realm; it is “New Jerusalem” (Rev 3:12).

Jerusalem means “foundation of peace” (Douglas-Harper 2001-2023). Genesis reveals the making of the foundation… the “earth” in the “heaven and the earth” from the ground up.

New Jerusalem is a regeneration — a Re-Genesis of that Garden, now a city, in another realm. God’s Estate has grown from two adama to a multitude of living souls, requiring a city to house.

The word “multitude” in scripture means more than many people. It does mean “abundance” in the Garden, but in the Greek of Jesus’s time, it meant all different kinds, or families, of people; those with different genetics; even Samaritans who were of numerous genetics and were a hybrid people because of miscegenation. Mainly they came from the replanting of the Cuthites from near Babylon into the Holy Land of Israel. The point therein is that the “Garden” was growing tares (unwanted vegetation) in the midst of good “trees.”

The ”good Samaritan” means that the nature of that hybrid was different than the multitudes. He had a different and goodly genome with a nature to be admired. Generally, the Samaritans were considered rubbish in the Garden of God.

Now for the plantation that God built and the location of His Estate. God described the extents of it to Abraham. It is the fertile crescent going from the Nile in Egypt to the Euphrates River. (That may be the “bow” that Noah saw in the distance from the mountains of Ararat.)

The Jordan River, in the Hebrew, is “Naral Ha Yarden” — “the River of the Garden.” Eden, as can be seen from extant names, goes from the land of Dan (originally) west of Jerusalem to the Gulf of Aden (Eden) near the city of Aden in present-day Yemen. Hence, Eden was the land mass now called the “Mideast” with the Garden of God in the center.

“The Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there He put the man whom He had formed” (Gen 2:8). He had sowed the man (Adam) in His Image (the Genome of God), and God formed it into a shape that He desired; then God transplanted what He had produced and planted the man (Adam) into the ground (adama) so that Adam was of the same substance as the dust. That should be measurable and has been. The body of a person has the same composition as the earth and in the same amounts. That is the science!

God planted many things — all things — in His Garden and mankind was just like the other plants except for a few things: (1) soul, (2) mind, (3) different genomes, (4) and a closer relationship with the Creator. Sin despoiled those things and now our thoughts are not God’s thoughts nor our ways His Ways (Isa 55:8). Sin changed the nature of the plants in the Garden; even trees now die as consequences of sin.

Lot saw the land from his position coming out of Egypt, “Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the Garden of the Lord.”

Where is the Garden nowadays? It has perished. It is still there but is now unrecognizable because all the beauty of it has been corrupted. The plain of the Jordan was not like the Garden of the Lord; it was once the Garden of the Lord, and the Jordan was the River of God.

The foundation of the Garden remains here but its existence remains aloft, or in another realm. Someday, the Garden of God with its “trees,” along with the Tree of Life will come down, or at least be revealed through the portal that is the door to beyond.

The Book of Jasher reveals two important things: (1) That Abram was transformed to Abraham in the fire of Ur, and (2) that afterward, Abram was removed by God from that awful “hell” to Paradise in Canaan. Therein, Abraham was a king, but the Canaanites still ruled, becasue they recognized that the Kingdom of Abraham was not of this world. Hence, because of the Abrahamic Covenant with his “seed,” or genetics, those who died prior to the advent of Jesus rested in “Abraham’s Bosom” (Luke 16).

Until Jesus came, Abraham was the husbandman of God’s Garden, and a keeper of living souls. He was a tertiary “Adam” of which Jesus was the “Last Adam” (1 Cor 15:45). Other “Adam’s” were Seth, Noah, and Moses, Joshua, and David.

As Jasher reveals, Abram, by the grace of God, had been provided new incorruptible flesh. His genetics changed the “old creature” into a new creature, and the Garden was renewed.

The “Tree of Life” describes very well the Substances of God. Imagine a tree. What you see is Jesus. What remains unseen is the Root of that Tree. It is of a Substance that differs from the Base itself, but both are still “trees.” Without the trunk (the “Vine” of scripture), the tree is still a tree, but it is beneath the surface for there is where its genes reside. The root is a potential tree.

That Tree grew and was revealed when God came in the flesh. The Vine grew from that Root and Almighty LORD GOD is the “Root,” according to the inspiration to Paul, “If the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches” (Rom 11:16).

The “root” means the genes. Like Jesus is of “the root of David,” He is also of the Root of God, the Progenitor. Note the “gen” in progenitor. Paternal “Father God” provided the Genes for the Garden and in the beginning, man was meant to be the very Image of Him.

The DNA is the very identity of any organism and the DNA divides the kinds. Adam was made in the Image of God with the same identity as Yahweh. To this day JHWG, most of JHWH, remains in the DNA of mankind.

Now for the fruit of the Tree of Life; there are twelve in manner, all of one kind of fruit (Rev 22:2). The KJV names only nine, but the Vulgate all twelve: charity, joy, peace, patience, benignity, goodness, longanimity, mildness, faith, modesty, continency, and chastity (Gal 5:22-23). Those are not twelve different fruits but one fruit, or the characteristics of the nature of a righteous person. On the other hand, the fruits of the forbidden tree are many: 

19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. (Gal 5:19-21)

 Fruit is what Christians bare. Works are what devils produce. The former are the nature of the good “trees” and the latter forbidden natures of the Tree of the Knowledge. Both are in the genes of people. Glorious Christians have the nature of the Tree that bares good fruit and the degenerate and depraved the nature of the Beast whose will they do. Thus, they are of their “father” the Devil with his genes.

Those works and the fruit, are the produce of the Tree of Knowledge and the Tree of Life respectively, and they are genetic. The works are the worldly nature of brutish people whereas the fruit is the nature, or genetics, of those in Christ.

Yes, we were all “born this way” as Lady Gaga sings, but that is with a sinful nature. To change the way we are, then the Spirit of God must breathe life unto the lost before they are regenerated and with that the reception of the genes of God to bear His kind of fruit.

Therefore, the Bible is the written Testament and Will of God. It is what happens to His Estate since He died, When Jesus died, the Will of God was probated. He shared the entire Estate and now Christians are adopted children of God, being endowed with the very Genome of God by the Power of His Spirit. Again, God breathed life into lifeless souls.

To be fellow heirs to God’s Estate, we must be children of God. No, God will not remold us in a womb again as Nicodemus discovered, but Jesus will engender us from above with the very Image of God.

What about sin? It is in the flesh, and it will perish, but those in Christ will receive new incorruptible flesh — and be a genetically pure new creature in Christ. Jesus will share His genes with all who shall receive them!

What if they do not? 

But He (Jesus) answered and said, “Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.” (Mat 15:13)

Whether called “trees” or more generalized, “plants,” God — the Root — will refuse His Genes to all those who reject Him and His Garden. None of the Estate will be theirs because they have withered to death, not accepting the conditions of God’s Will.

Plants wither. Adam did not die immediately; he withered to death in 930 years. Now, the moment anyone is born, for a time, they grow, but as the prepubescent disappears, the teen begins to wither. We all wither to death unless God steps in and engenders the lost to make new creatures in Christ, with the nature of Christ in them. (Is it just ironic that time is measured in carbon decay and that organisms, including ours, is carbon-based DNA?)

The Hebrew word translated “trees” means “stock,” in general and may refer to “the descendants of one individual” (Merriam-Webster 2023)… (the progeny of an individual.) So, when trees in the scripture are mentioned; think not of a tree with fruit, but the progenitor and progeny from that stock.

So, was the “tree” a tree? The Bible is about people, not trees. It is about human beings, not plants, whether they be tares or fruits.

So, when anyone thinks of the Tree of Life, he should consider the genetics of God that have been passed down through the ages, as Matthew 1 points out from Abraham to Jesus, or as Luke 3, from God down to Jesus.

You are a plant that God planted. You began with a soul made before the foundation of the world, and in God’s time, He planted that soul in His Garden.

That soul can either grow into an acceptable plant, as it should, or wither and die. Withering living souls fall away and die (Heb 6:6). God seeds the Garden but the Christian, like Adam, Noah, and Abraham; must be the “husbandman” in the manner of the Master of the Estate.

Lastly consider the destiny of the plants: 

15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. (Mat 7:15-20)

How to recognize the hybrid of trees? By their fruits. Paul revealed to the Galatians how to identify trees, and with Jesus gone to Paradise, Paul became the “husbandman” of the Garden of God, and we are the “trees.”

Jesus was walking along, "When he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, 'Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away" (Mat 21:19)

We must all bare fruit - the fruit of the Spirit, or we too shall wither and fall away (apostasy).
