MADE WHOLE

I was lazy yesterday. I left the readers hanging, saying, “HUMAN BUT NOT QUITE.” That indeed is humbling, but today the commentary is about being made whole.

 

Over the millennia humans have devolved. Humbling ourselves is recognizing ourselves for what we are!

Adam was made whole. Sin resulted in something missing from him. Adam died in a sense; he was no longer whole.

We think of the man, Adam, but the one less whole than before was most certainly the woman. Sin made her a new kind. No longer was she of Adam’s, but a new kind that Adam called ‘Eve;’ simply put, “Adam knew Eve” (Gen 4:1) not in the sense that he had coitus but that he recognized the change in the woman from Adam to Eve.

Hebrew ‘Hava’ (root noun of  ‘Eve’) means ‘revealed.’ One linguist suggests that Haua (Eve) means ‘serpent.” If that is not enough, the first usage of the word ‘wife’ was after the first sin (Gen 4:1).

Before that time, the woman was Adam’s mate (Gen 2:18). Afterwards, no longer was she his mate, but wife (Issa), the feminine form of ‘Is’ (pronounced eesh). Is means ‘extant’ and is the male form, ‘Issa’ means extant in the female form.

With that background, no longer was the woman of Adam’s kind but a female of the extant kind — another ‘existence.’ When Eve was beguiled, that changed her. She was no longer whole, an Adam, but something lesser, just another alien life — alien to God.

If that is true, and the Hebrew does point to that, it explains why women are secondary to the men in scripture.

Not that Adam was vindicated, but that the woman was punished because she sinned first.

Paul explains that well, to wit: Speaking of death he wrote, “For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of Him that was to come.” (Rom 5:13-14).

To make that clear, from Adam to Moses, there were no Laws. However, nothing was imputed to anyone because there was no Law. Sin was in the world but was not charged to anyone because there was no Law that was broken.

The two Adamah were not breaking any Laws because they were deceived as they had no knowledge of evil. The consequence, however, of the original sin was death. Their sins were not counted because Adam was the figure of the Jesus — the ‘Last Adam,’ as is written (1 Cor 15:45).

Adam was the ‘typo’ (Greek) of the One to come. The male of the species was the prototype of Jesus. Hence, Adam, the male sinned, but it was not accounted to him, and neither was it imputed in Eve, both by the grace of God. The prototype sinned unwittingly, but the Type never sinned. (Think of that as ingenuity.  Adam was the prototype and Jesus the Image. That, readers, is engineering by the Tekton, Jesus.)

Paul also wrote that death (thanatos) reigned from Adam to Moses. “Death’ as it turns out is separation of the soul from the body. [1]

Hence, both Adam and his mate died in an esoteric sense. God did not kill, kill them because of grace, but removed His Image from the two. No longer were the two glorious and good, but ‘iniquitous’ (Psalm 51:5; depraved). No longer was the ‘Phantom” Image of God (Strong’s) within them, but another image that was cunning, and that is called the ‘Serpent.’

As a reminder, cunning, or subtilty, is craftiness. Remembering that Jesus is the Tekton whose body of knowledge was the Word, Lucifer — the Serpent — would try to out-craft Jesus, hence the ‘Serpent’ was not an image of flesh but the nature of the Beast in Lucifer and imputed to Eve.

The Gentile Romans were not under Jewish Law, so it was as if, for them, there was no Law. The Romans fit the genetics of Adam very well as Paul pointed out when he said, “even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression.” Paul implied that sin is genetic, and it is, because Jesus shed his blood as a propitiation for “sins that are past” (Rom 3:23). In other words, the sins of mankind, even those who were not under the Law.

Something happened to the flesh of the woman, ‘Adam’ (not his name but his kind). Before sin, the woman was of Adam, but after sin, she was an ‘Eve’ (an Issa) and a wife, (an adulteress).

Sin had made her a little less than Adam and the male of the kind had been a little lower than the angels, as the prototypical Jesus (Heb 2:9) “for the suffering of death.” Righteous angels are immortal beings but with the prototypical man, sin made men mortal.

God had to make them mortal to fulfill the punishment, to “surely die” (Gen 2:17) or literally to ‘die, die.’ The soul would die and in the process of time (930 years) the body, or image, would die… thus die, die. 

(Key Verses): Then came she (the Caanite woman) and worshipped Him, saying, “Lord, help me.” But He answered and said, “It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.” And she said, “Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.” Then Jesus answered and said unto her, “O woman, great is your faith: be it unto you even as you will.”  And her daughter was made whole from that very hour. (Mat 15:25-28)

 The commentary thus far has been about mankind who was separated — the soul emptied of the Sprit of God from the body. The female of the species lost her soul, and her flesh was changed. She died spiritually and was separated from God.

How did her flesh change? Sin was genetic, so the ‘mother of all living.’ all her progeny, would be born spiritually dead as well; dead in the sense that they are separated from God and joined with Satan whose will they do, or whose nature they have (John 8:44).

In other words, sin is genetic and until recently nobody could alter your genes, but now mankind has discovered the knowledge of God. Eugenics is science playing God on behalf of Lucifer whose desire is to be like the Most High God (Isa 14:13-14). I believe eugenics is unpardonable.

Since God is Glorious and Adam made in the Image of God, then Adam was glorious as well. Scripture, in the English, uses the phrase “very good” (Gen 1:31) but that is literally exceedingly precious — splendorous. ‘Wholeness’ is in the Image of God.

The daughter (Mat 15) was possessed by demons; she was beguiled. As such, she had guile in her. ‘Guile’ is deceit. The daughter had deceit in her — the cunning of the Devil. How it got there is not said, but somehow the dominant genes of the Wicked One overcame her.

Dominant? Yes! Glorious Adam and his mate had dominion over all things (Gen 1:21) but remembering that Satan is the ‘Prince of the Power of the Air,’ he now has dominion over Eve’s kind. (all who exist since sin).

Because of the mother’s faith, the daughter was changed; “her daughter was made whole (Greek; iaomai) from that very hour” (Mat 15:28). She was healed, hence ‘made whole’ is her Soul returned to her body and the separation ended. In other words, The Goodness of Jesus filled her soul by his Virtue (Dynamis). The ‘Phantom,’ or Image of God, engendered the girl. She was ‘born again,’ not by natural birth but from a regenning by Jesus.

He did to her as His Father did to Adam. Jesus breathed life unto her. No longer would the woman be the giver of life (Gen 4:1) but God Himself would do that.

As Mary proved, she was not the progenitor of Jesus but merely a ‘vehicle’ from which Jesus came from the invisible realm to Earth. Mary was no more the mother of Jesus than Eve the mother of ‘righteous Abel.’

Hopefully, the reader realizes that there are two deaths: the death of the body and the death of the soul. That seems to be the meaning of die, die.

The first death is the death of the body. Someday it will happen, John saw “the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death” (Rev 20:13-14). That will be the second die in to die, die! However, for those regenned by Jesus, death is gain, according to Paul. They will only die once, “It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Heb 9:27).

Everyone will die once, but after the judgment some will die, die but the others die, then live!

The second death therefore is the walking dead — those who are separated from Jesus, and without the Holy Spirit in their souls. The dead, dead are those who die without Jesus. Dead, dead is forever dying and dying. The flesh apparently dies repeatedly and the souls of the lost are forever dying.
