Jesus, still speaking about the little children implied so much. One was that if the children (of God) suffer offenses, the consequence is that the offender will suffer hell fire (Mat 18:9). Jesus then continued with these words:
(Key verse) In heaven
their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven. For the
Son of man is come to save that which was lost (Mat
18:10-11)
“Face” therein is literally the Person
of God.
Many have been taught that there
are three Persons of the Holy Trinity — the ‘Godhead.’ A Person is a human being. God is one Person
and He has a personality, or countenance. Although Webster also uses it as
three Persons of the Holy Trinity, that should be questioned because a spirit
is the ghost of a Person. A ‘ghost’ is the phantom that shadows a person and is
the “Image” in which Adam was made in the first process (Gen 1:27; selem). The
material substance of Adam was made in the second process (Gen 2:7).
Therefore, the outer material
image is the exact shape of the invisible Image, but that inner image is the
Image of God, and God was not a Person until He was born of the virgin
Mary.
The Spirit of Jesus — the Holy
Ghost upon His death — is the ‘Son of God’ (Mat 14:33). The Spirit, or soul, of
Jesus is the very Image of God.
That Image is genetic; the word ‘son’
makes it so. Jesus was not fathered in a human manner but engendered with the Holy
Spirit of God. As such, the Soul of Jesus was genetically of the ‘Father’ and
Jesus had within Himself the very Genome of God — the genetic Identity of God
within every cell of His Holy Body.
Consider that for a moment. Most
people think of the soul as a vessel of some sort, perhaps even the Holy Grail.
Jesus referred to Himself as a ‘cup’ if it had been in the English (Mar 14:36).
Jesus used the Greek word, poterion.
The word ‘pottery’ came from the
French word ‘poterie’ and as you can see, Jesus may have been referring
to the material image of the ground in which mankind was made. Of course, ‘ground’
in the Hebrew is ‘adam.’
Was Jesus asking the Father to
remove the Adam from Himself? Not to forget, Jesus was called, ‘the last Adam’
(1 Cor 15:45). Jesus redeemed sinful Adam as well as Adam’s kind. Taking the ‘cup’
from Him was Jesus asking the Father to not put sin into His flesh.
Now back to the key verses.
Then Jesus referred to Himself as
the ‘son of man.’
The words, “son of man,” in
general refer to those of the genetics of Adam — his kind. Ezekiel in
his prophecies referred to the coming Messiah as the “Son of man” (Ezek 4:16), “ben
Adam” in the Hebrew. Hence, Jesus was referring to Himself genetically as
the “Son of Adam,” not that Adam was His father, but that Adam was in His own genome.
Whereas the genome of Adam was
not corrected in scripture, God provided for them another flesh (Gen 3:21) obviously
to ward off the fiery darts of the Wicked One.
Jesus was the ‘Son of Adam’ but
not sinful Adam because He was without sin. Within, Jesus was the Image of God
and without the image in which Adam was made — a material image. Jesus was what
the first Adam was meant to be. His Spirit was the phantom Image of God and His
Body the material image that God molded with His own ‘hands’ so to speak.
When Jesus referred to Himself as
the ‘son of man’ just meant that He was mankind and was of the same material as
the first two ‘Adam’s’ (The woman was of the kind of Adam as well.)
Jesus got His ‘Adam’ from Mary and He got His Spirit from Yahweh.
When Jesus took on all the sin of
mankind, whereas the two Adam’s sinned, Jesus made Himself sin for Adam
and his kind. Hence, “Son of man” is very significant because unless He was
Adam’s kind, He would not propitiate His blood (Rom 3:25) for some other kind.
He had to be of the gens (genetics) of Adam to redeem Adam and his kind.
To ‘propitiate’ is to appease
God, and the method was by sprinkling of blood on the mercy seat of the Ark of
God. His blood appeased God, making it unnecessary that we die, die, die (Gen
2:17) to save ourselves (“surely die” which I assume to mean die in all three
substances – mind, body, and spirit.)
That propitiation is
necessary as God revealed to Moses, “For the life of the flesh is in the blood:
and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls:
for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul” (Lev 17:11).
“Atonement” therein is to pacify,
or appease, God. Propitiation is that atonement, specifically for the souls
of Adam’s kind; that inner person made in the Image of God.
There were two ‘creations’ of Adam’s
kind of sorts. In chapter one of the Book of Genesis, the soul of Adam
was made in the Image of God and in chapter two, God made for Adam a material
image. Chapter one is the creation of the heaven and chapter two possibly the
creation of the earth, or material world.
Regarding the key verses, Jesus
referred to “their angels,” in reference to the children of God. Of course, the
literal meaning of angel is ‘messenger,’ but the context seems to refer to the
innermost substance of the children which, again, is the soul, or the Image of
God within, not that children of God become angels at all!
The use of “our image” (Gen 1:26)
is “selem” in the Hebrew — a shadow or phantom. Angelic creatures are invisible,
of course unless they reveal themselves in some other image.
Adam’s kind was made in that same
Image (Selem) and God revealed that Image when He made flesh for Adam.
Angels never have flesh in the heavenly realm, but apparently put on flesh
supplied by their ‘father the Devil” for lascivious purposes (Gen 6:4).
Adam’s original flesh was
incorruptible. He could not beget until after sin. God begot both Adam’s from
the same “very good” (Gen 1:31) material, obviously without evil within the
cells of the flesh.
In other words, the flesh that we
wear is from “our father the Devil” (John 8:44), not that the Devil sired us,
but that we all have the genetics of the Devil within. Jesus came to transform
our genetics back to the Image in which mankind was made in the beginning.
The blood of Jesus has the DNA of
God in every nuclear cell. Springling by the blood of Jesus made Adam, perhaps
buried at the place of his skull, [1] redeemed by that atonement
once and for all his bloodline.
With Jesus gone, sinners are
cleansed by the Remnant of God remaining — the Holy Ghost which is the very
Invisible Image of God! The Holy Ghost imbues children of God with the Image of
God, which given time, makes them glorious again.
Multiplication was meant to be spiritual,
not carnal. Now, everyone focuses on carnality rather than spirituality. The ‘Great
Commission’ is the proper form of multiplication because it is the way
that God did it.
The son of man came to save those
who were lost. Previous verses indicate what it is that the lost are saved from…
Hell. ‘Lost’ therefore is without finding Paradise in heaven.
It is their souls, or angels, that
are saved. Their flesh goes back to the dust from which they came. The flesh is
never saved. It is reconstituted at best.
Those dead in Christ are not
raised in the flesh, but their souls, or angels, are removed from Earth to the
realm of heaven and God outs onto them incorruptible coats of skin. Their soul
is regenerated but their evil flesh discarded because its filthy genetics probits
entry into a pure realm.
In the end, all those who follow
Christ to their death, become like original Adam whose soul is the very Image
of God — Glorious — and their bodies the very Image of Jesus — Incorruptible.
The fact that the Devil could not
transform Jesus with temptations proves that our kind can avoid sinful acts if
the Ghost of Jesus resides in us. The Holy Ghost of Jesus is perhaps the “whole
armor of God,” or the coats of the skin from God of Genesis, remembering
that the ‘Skin’ of God was a ‘Shadow’ of the One to come.
Such simple words of Jesus have so
many significant meanings. All we need to do is let the Spirit reveal the
intense meaning of simple words.
