JESUS BORN TO DIE

Upon entering the world, the life was Jesus was threatened. I believe that anyone who tries to kill God is an Antichrist and has the Power of the Wicked One. 

In a sense, Adam, Cain, and Abel were a triumvirate of sorts. Triumvirs in the Latin were three men each with different tasks within a government. In the case of those three, Adam was the father, Abel, the son, and Cain an absent spirit because he was of the Wicked One (1 John 3:12). 

Triumvirates are important in both government and theology. The Godhead, or Holy Trinity, is a triumvirate and a triune Godhead each head with a different task. Today, another type of triumvirate will be discussed. 

First consider the early Roman governments: The first triumvirate consisted of Pompei, Crassius, and Julius, the latter who was the “Caesar” or as it turned out the lead head. 

The second triumvirate was Anthony, Lepidus, and Octavian. Octavian became the “Augustus Caesar” — the majestic Caesar. He was a type of Christ and perhaps an Antichrist. 

After the Roman Republic Octavian alone was the “Caesar” but he had a triumvirate of sorts as well. 

The future Caesar would be Tiberius (Nero Caesar) who was Caesar during the adult ministry and crucifixion of Jesus successive to Octavian (Augustus). Nero was considered an Antichrist because he murdered so many of the apostles, as well as Christ in absentia. 

My point is that both theology and Christianity comes in threes for both the righteous and unrighteous orders. 

The triune God consists of three substances: (1) The Power of God (the “Father”), the Object of God (the “Son”), and the Shadow (the Holy Ghost of God.) 

Using a coin, the Power (Father) is the “spin” of the coin (Yahweh), the “tails” is backside of God (The Ghost), and the “heads” the Person Jesus. 

The “God coin” is not just two substances but its Dynamic is the third. 

Preceding Nero (Tiberius) was Octavian. 

Although Octavian was dictator, he also had two sides as well. 

During the reign of Octavian, Herod was named king, but it took three years for him to reign. It took from 40-37 BC for Herod to gain the throne from Antigonus. 

As such, there was a sort of triune dictatorship. Caesar as the High Authority, Herod who was real king, and Antigonus who was the ghost of the Hasmoneans past. 

Herod ruled with the authority of Caesar in the absence of Caesar. Once Antigonus was gone, there remained another sort of triumvirate: Augustus Caesar, Herod the Great, and other kings to the East (ten imperial provinces with governors). 

When Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem (Mat 2:1) 

Literally, the “wise” men were Chaldeans (Babylonians). Their wisdom is inferred. “East” therein is an arising of either the Sun or stars. It is implied that they saw a star from their position eastward in Babylonian and it was “arising” or converging. They had not followed the “star” but watched heavenly bodies converging: Venus, Jupiter, and Mars. 

Normally governors of the Roman provinces were received with the right hand of friendship. Herod had the “right hand of friendship” with his fellow governors of the other provinces. There were ten provinces of the Roman Empire, Herod was friends with those in the East.

The right hand of friendship was that each, in their own province, had the authority of Caesar who was in Rome and each were partners in keeping the laws of the Roman Empire. In the absence of Caesar, each were little Caesar’s in their province. 

Then came kings from the East. How many is unknown. Rather than the “right hand of friendship” with Herod, they came to pay homage to the newborn King, asking, “Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.” (Mat 2:2)

How many is unknown; perhaps a whole caravan or even just two. Three is assumed because of the three gifts. 

Problem 1: They did not come for the right hand of friendship with Herod, and

Problem 2: They did not come for friendship with Caesar.

Problem 3: They came from Babylon whose territory once belonged to Alexander but not to Caesar. Caesar was not as great as Alexander.

 

They snubbed both Augustus and Herod. 

Julius Caesar has first claimed Godhood, and in a sense, “Caesar” means King of kings and Lord of lords. 

Jesus, so said Paul to Timothy, “In His times he shall show, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords… (1 Tim 6:15) That day is coming: John saw Jesus revealed in the end, “He (Jesus) has on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, “King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords” (Rev 19:16). 

Why was Herod miffed at Jesus and the wise men? 

First off, the wise men not only knew the location of Jesus, but that He was their king. He was King of kings. That is wisdom. 

They knew that Caesar desired to be their King, or Caesar, but that was not to be. It would be Jesus who in the end would be “Caesar” as King of kings. 

They were directed there to that specific location by the LORD GOD when they followed the bright light coming with convergence. They were wise that they knew that they were not to see an ordinary king but the LORD of lords. 

Julius Caesar was the first Pontifex Maximus, Lord of the house of lords, whoever the gods of the lords might be. 

The wise men did not come to pay homage to the Pontifex Maximus but to Jesus, the true Lord of lords. 

No wonder Herod ordered the massacre of the innocents. He feared for his position just as Antigonus had feared for his. Herod saw a war ahead and feared losing his head, so God in the Person of Jesus had to be sacrificed. Jesus was born to die and Herod was the first appointed to that task. 

The gold, frankincense, and myrrh represented His kingship, his lordship, and His death. 

Paul wrote to Peter about Jesus, “His own self bare our sins in his own Body on the Tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed” (1 Pet 2:24). 

The wise men knew that: They knew scripture and followed it; Isaiah had prophesied, “He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. (Isa 53:5). 

The wise men had followed the Word of God to find Jesus, and there He was — a new born king. 

JESUS CHRIST: SUPERSTAR

When was Jesus born? Not that it matters so much because we know that He was not born in the usual manner, but extraordinarily. Matthew recounts His birth.

Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, ‘Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship Him? When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him…. Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared… When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. (Mat 2:1-3,7,9) 

His birth is not the significant thing, but His conception, to wit: it was revealed to the prophets of old, “a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, “God with us” (Mat 1:23) 

God came down and was manifested in the flesh. Rather than looking for a “star” should we not be looking for God? 

According to Strong’s lexicon, the “star” is “astere.” Astere is interpreted “star” but it comes from the Greek verb “stronnyo” — meaning “positing” or “to strew.” (Strong 2006). 

For instance, asteroids are small planetary bodies that are strewn between Mars and Jupiter that also orbit the Sun. 

Perhaps, we should be looking at several bodies rather than one star. 

Stars do not move as seen from planet Earth. The cosmos at any one time appears to be motionless. Isiaah called the cosmos and “curtain” that was unrolled during the creation. (Isa 4-:22).  Hence, stars would not travel from east to west and then hover above the baby Jesus. Of course, God could have done that;but there is no evidence that He did beyond these passages. 

I submit that something happened to the “asteroids” that revolve around the Sun. Perhaps they aligned with one another and pointed toward Jesus. Indeed, that is the modern theory posited by many. 

During the dawning of the Age of Pisces, the planets Venus, Jupiter, and Mars converged, according to astronomers. 

According to astronomical records, in 6 BC, a convergence of Mars, Jupiter, and Venus is most commonly associated with February 20th, where all three planets appeared close together in the constellation Pisces; however, some interpretations suggest a closer alignment could have been seen in the earlier part of the year, with Mars joining Jupiter and Saturn in conjunction around September-October of 6 BC. (AI Overview) 

The convergence, therefore, could have occurred between February 20^th to October of 6 BC. 

A convergence would be a gradual alignment of those three planets. As they got closer, the brightness would increase until the three were aligned perfectly. 

Herod asked “What time the star had appeared? When did it converge, meaning when was it the brightest. Following the star would be observing the convergence as the three heavenly bodies reached their brightest light. 

In the magazine Astronomy, Eric Betz, writes that the “Great Conjunction” was at the winter solstice. 

From the data from the table (https://www.beda.cz/~jirkaj/seasons/seasons.pdf) the winter solstice appeared precisely at 6 BC on 23 Dec 13:34 and lasted for 2 minutes and 57 seconds. 

That was the answer to Herod’s question! The “magi” would have told him that precise time! 

So, when did Herod issue the proclamation to murder the innocents? Flavious Josephus wrote that it was upon the death of Herod, before his death was announced. He asked that all the pretenders to the throne be executed. 

It is generally accepted that Herod died March and April in 4 BC. Others suggest January to April 1^st.  (Finegan reasons that Herod died between March 12 and April 11, 4 B.C), agreeing with the birth of Jesus around mid-March of 6 BC. 

So, on Dec 13^th BC, Herod asked that all infants two years and below be killed. Minus two years would make the birth of Jesus between March and April 6 BC would it not? 

Using Jewish holy days, Jonathan Cahn to the exact day in 6 BC that Jesus was born. During the spring equinox on 23 Mar11 BC from the previous table. (Jonathan Cahn calculated Nissan 1 6 BC or March 20, 6 BC). 

The Zodiac ages are not absolute, They, are based on the dawning and waxing of certain constellations. That the Age of Pisces began in 1 BC is believed my most, However, in 6 BC it was “dawning” — beginning to appear or approaching. Pisces is the Christian Era that is now waning if not already “waxed.” 

Now back to the death of Herod. Before his death was announced, he asked that all the contenders to the throne be executed. That was in 4 BC. The infant Jesus and his father would both be among the contenders for they were “sons of David” and of David’s line. 

So subtract nine months from December 23, 4 BC. That comes out to be March 23, 4 BC, and Jesus would have been less than two years old. If exactly two, based on an average of nine months gestation, Jesus would have been conceived on or around March 23, 6 BC. 

If not exactly March 23, it could very well have been March 20^th 6 BC just as Cahn proposed. 

However, was that the birthdate of Jesus, or the date of the conception of Jesus on March 20, 6 BC? 

What happened when Jesus was conceived? 

“The angel of the Lord (Gabriel) appeared unto him (Joseph) in a dream, saying, Joseph, you son of David, fear not to take unto you Mary your wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. (Mat 1:20) 

Gabriel told Mary about the conception of Jesus: 

The Holy Ghost shall come upon you (Mary), and the Power of the Highest shall overshadow you: therefore, also that Holy Thing which shall be born of you shall be called the “Son of God” (Luke 1:35) 

In my book, The Awesome Quantum God, I defined the Godhead as the Power of God, the Holy Ghost of God, and the Person of God. 

At the conception of Jesus all three substances of God was there. We often miss that the Power of God overshadowed Mary to form the Holy Thing (The Person of God) in the womb of Mary. 

Back now to stars. 

About the Abrahamic Covenant, God told Abraham, “That in blessing I will bless you, and in multiplying, I will multiply your seed as the stars of the heaven…" (Gen 22:17). 

The conception of Jesus was the multiplication of the seed of Abraham, according to the promise to provide a Savior. 

The conception of Jesus was the promise to Abraham. It was being fulfilled at the conception. 

The conception story begins with what? 

The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. (Mat 1:1) 

The conception was the generation of Jesus Christ from the seed of Abraham and the seed of God. The covenant was fulfilled with the conception! The Son of God and the Son of Abraham became one and Jesus was born like a “star” is born, by the Power of God: 

God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: He made the stars also. (Gen 1:16). 

The wise men, perhaps three kings from the East, knew that it was God whose Power was the “star” of Bethlehem and they did not follow a star but saw the Age of Pisces dawning and understood from scripture and the Zodiac that God had begun His Good Work in the body of Mary in March of 6 BC, and it would be finished in December, 6 BC. 

The “Star” was the Power of God — His Light that they had followed from scripture. 

Did it coincide with the convergence of Saturn, Jupiter, and Venus? Most assuredly, but they were following the convergence knowing that it was it pointed toward the Power or Star of God. When Jesus was born the Light shined from Jesus. He was the Light of God. 

SELF-ESTEEM

 AI Overview says: 

The concept of self-esteem is generally credited to Scottish philosopher David Hume in the 18th century, who first discussed the importance of valuing and thinking well of oneself as a motivator for reaching one's full potential; however, psychologist William James is considered to have formally established self-esteem as a distinct psychological construct in his work "The Principles of Psychology" where he defined it as a measure of our success compared to our aspirations, laying the groundwork for further exploration in the field. 

“Self-esteem” is a measure of hell well we have accomplished things that are important to us. 

“Christ-esteem” is a measure of how well we have lived up to the aspirations of Jesus.

 

Christ-esteem is based on the metrics of God; how well we value Him whereas Self-esteem is how we measure up to view of ourselves. 

Where can self-esteem be found in the Bible? Nowhere! So some stretched to find it!

 

Wonderfully made:

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. (Psalm 139:13-14)

 However, David preceded that by these words: 

God) laid his hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it. (Psalm 13:14) 

God did it; David knew he had not! We have not made the good in ourselves; God did that (John 1:31; “very good” we were made.)

 

Confidence: 

So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. (Heb 10:35-36) 

Paul was speaking to those who in former days, “after you were illuminated” should be confident. “Illumination” is born again; then and only then should they have confidence. Confidence in the self? Or Confidence in God? 

Indeed, even Christianity is even what is in it for me? “You will receive what is promised.” 

Seeking God is a means of self-preservation. Admit it now; you value yourselves so highly, you want to exist forever! Your existence is based on self-esteem! 

God knows that: “No man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it” (Ephes 5:29) 

Every person values themselves, and that is why we even seek eternal life. 

The “Golden Rule” is to "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you". It is a given; you value yourselves.  That is the “iniquity” in which you were born (Psalm 51:5) 

Iniquity is over-valuing yourselves, or being overfly confident in yourselves. “Iniquity” is too much self-esteem. 

(Suicide will be a later topic.)

Insufficiency: 

…such trust have we through Christ toward God: not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God (2 Cor 3:4-5) 

Our self-perception must be realistic. Christians are sufficient only by the grace of God. We are insignificant if not for Him!

 

The Nature of the Righteous: 

We were made in the “Image” of God and “very good” — literally perfect; without flaw of defect; like God Himself. Mankind was created glorious — “weighty,” or of high intrinsic value. That was the original man, Adam and was meant to be for his kind once they multiply. 

God created our kind as a “hard copy” of Himself whose “Image” was a “shadow” or “phantom.” 

Genetically, Adam was the Son of God, or of His genetics. 

Imagine God with all His attributes. Your imagination should think of Jesus with Him glorified. 

…all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose for whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son... (Rom 8;28-29)

 

The Glorious Nature of Christ: 

Jesus came eating and drinking like us; He left glorified like the first Adam.  He was no longer like man but purely like God because the “Phantom” of God was in every nuclear cell of His glorified body (John 7:39) 

Jesus was transfigured or changed. His body went from like ours to like the Image of God that was in Adam.

He made us in the bodily image of Christ; not the Christ who ate or drank, but the one who sustained Himself with the Virtue of God; the One who could walk through walls, transmigrate at will, and overcome the world without either eating or drinking.

 

The Inglorious Nature of Man: 

Original, or genetic sin, changed the glorious nature of man to inglorious. 

The Book of Genesis is not of evolution but devolution. 

Original sin changed the nature of man. 

The herbs in the Garden were not “herbs.” Mankind was not made vegetarians. 

The Hebrew word means “shiny:” perhaps a type of photosynthesis or even manna from heaven that was like “hoar frost on the ground” (Adam by the way) that just dissipated without ever decaying. 

Then Adam and the woman ate. They would then require digestive tracts (Book of Adam and Eve). Not only that; they acquired sexual knowledge and appendages with original sin. (They were made like angels who did not couple). Now they coupled. A hint is that, “They were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons” (Gen 3:7). 

Before, they were like God; now they were like God. The woman had gone from the dominant position to the submissive as she was beguiled; or received the genetics of the Wicked One (1 John 3:12). 

Women are now just like pigs with lipstick. Men are like boars with tusks. We are as beasts and so many spend more time on all fours than upright. 

Mankind was made upright: “anthropos” in the Greek — beings that stand upright and without tails to balance them, and who had upright morals. 

Now we are as much swine as the pigs, doing things even dirty swine will not do. Mankind, with sin, went from upright to decadent. We are mostly depraved. 

That should counter any esteem that you might have had. That should humble you, but that is the truth; mankind has degenerated into almost total depravity, but with just enough that we are worth saving. God values His defective little images so much that He made a plan for us and a future, according to Jeremiah. 

For God so loved the world (us), that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever (any of us) believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16) 

Regeneration: 

God values us, but there is a condition: We “must be born again” (John 3:7) with a new nature:

God resists the proud but gives grace unto the humble. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double minded. (Jas 4:6-8) 

That “grace” is “weightiness.” He glorifies those who have humbled themselves by submitting the human flesh to God for different incorruptible (gloried, upright, sinless, non-animal-like flesh). 

Humble yourselves and the Beastly nature will withdraw, leaving behind a pure nature, a new creation! (2 Cor 5:17).

 

The Beastly nature within you will die and a new creature born again as in the beginning. Gid above will engender you in the manner of Adam.

SHALL BE; WILL BE; ARE

 Early church historians credited Luke with the writing of the Book of Acts. There is an argument about whether Acts was written in the first or second century. 

Since Luke credibly wrote the book, he would have written it before he died. Luke is believed to have died between 84 and 100 A.D. with the earlier date most accepted. 

Some of the apostles had died before 84 A.D. 

Paul-66, Peter-between 64 & 68, Andrew-69 or 70, James who died first after Judas-44, and so on. 

What has this got to do with anything? First off, The Book of Acts was written by a contemporary of Jesus — Luke — which means that the Acts of the Apostles were not legend but an historical account.

 

Luke was a credible witness of Jesus. He was the one writer who saw the Holy Ghost go into Jesus in bodily shape (Luke 2:33) and among those who saw the Ghost leave Him in the same manner (Luke 23:46).  Luke saw Yahweh, Father God, in Jesus. 

Luke new Jesus well and knew all the apostles well. He could write of The Acts of the Apostles better than the apostles themselves. 

Luke, and evangelist, was not an apostle, so he would not have written with biasness. As an evangelist, his job was to chronical the life and times of Jesus and the apostles as an historian. Think of Luke as the historian in the manner of Josephus whose history is the most credible of all historians. 

With that said, consider what Luke wrote about the salvation of those who had already died by the time of his writing: 

Now therefore why tempt you God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they. (Acts 15:10-11)

 The key phrase therein is “shall be saved.” Paul and the other apostles had met and considered the matter of salvation as they dismissed circumcision. 

Paul was saying that they too like any of the disciples shall be saved. 

The criteria was one: “God, which knows the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as He did unto us” (Acts 15:8). 

Hence, any who had the Holy Ghost could be saved.   

How about the Holy Ghost? It was Christ in them.  Any of those were opportune for salvation; the question was when? 

Looking at the different translations, “shall be saved” could be also: 

·        We believe that we are saved through the grace

·        We believe that we and they are saved in the same way, by the grace

·        We trust and are delivered

·        We believe that we will be saved

·        We believe that we are saved

·        We believe to be saved

·        Will be saved the same way

·        God saves us who are Jews when we believe in Jesus

·        We believe that we are saved in the same way

·        We believe that we will be saved

·        Believe that the Lord Jesus saves us the same way that he saves them—through his kindness.” 

·        Believe and are saved by the grace

·        Believe that we and they too will be saved

·        We certainly believe … that we are saved, just as they are.

·        Believe that the Lord Yeshua saves us the same way that he saves them

·        Believe that we will be liberated 

They all believe in the process of salvation by the grace of God.

The “grace of God” is therefore those who have received the Holy Ghost.

They all believe that salvation of Christians is inevitable.

Shall be, will be, are in that manner, and such.

Belief indicates that there is no proof, but the evidence was that Jesus said the repentant thief would be with Him in Paradise “that day” — the day that he died.

Salvation is belief in a future event.

That you already are saved is a belief. The event occurs when? 

Paul, writing about Jesus, said to Peter, “Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls” (1 Pet 1:9). 

John’s purpose was for him to “go before the face of the Lord to prepare His ways; to give knowledge of salvation unto His people by the remission of their sins.  (Luke 1:76-77) 

When did the thief receive the Holy Ghost. When he died and when the Holy Ghost left Jesus to take his soul to Paradise where he was saved to another realm away from Satan.

 

 

 

 

 

 

THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING

 What is gravity; from where did it come? Wikipedia says: “gravity is the most significant interaction between objects at the macroscopic scale, and it determines the motion of planets, stars, galaxies, and even light… particle physics imply that the earliest instance of gravity in the universe, possibly in the form of quantum gravity, supergravity or a gravitational singularity, along with ordinary space and time”

Science is in search of “the theory of everything.”

For whom they search, theists have found. God is “the truth of everything:”

John 1:3

All things were made by him (God) and without him was not any thing made that was made.

God is “ALMIGHTY;” literally that means He “deals violently!”

God is the “QUANTUM” that shook all things instantaneously (Planck’s Epoch) that caused quantum gravity to hold things in their places perfectly.

Now consider “the truth of everything:”

Job 11:7

Can you by searching find out God? can you find out the Almighty unto perfection?

Revelation 11:17 (KJV)

Saying, We give you thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because you have taken to yourself your great power, and has reigned.

The QUANTUM “Almighty “ God was the source of power that in no time created all things then held them in place by His gravity (weightiness).

“In the creation, time did not exist,” according to Michio Kaku.

“Weightiness” in the Hebrew is “kabod.” It is translated “glory.”

The glory of God is “the theory of everything “ for which science searches.

What is gravity? The glory of God; His perfection that makes and holds things in their places.

“A quantum is the minimum amount of any physical entity involved in an interaction” (Ibid).

The QUANTUM is the action that started everything. The “Super Gravity” or Almightiness of the “Virtual Particle” that alone existed before all things.

The “Entity” or “Existence” (Jehovah) is the QUANTUM, or one true Entity, that used gravity to make all things and hold them in their places.

God used His weak force field in a great amount of quanta to overcome the strong force fields in sub-atomic particles to make atoms and Adams.

The glory of God from the New Testament would be the virtue (dynamos). His "Dynamic" was almighty good works... "very good" (Gen 1:29). The glory of God is His virtue that made all things good and held them in their places. It is the gravity that provided order along geodesic time/space lines. It is the Virtue that God used to make sinners whole again and to hold them in their places by faith, the glorious gift of God.

COMING SHORT OF GLORY

 Speaking of righteousness and faith, Paul wrote:

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: (Rom 3:23:4)

Sinned is trespassed or missing the mark. A mark is required for entry into Paradise.

 The mark was to be in the Image of God. Remade (regeneration) is “born again” (engendered from above). 

A mark must be on you to find the Way to Paradise.

 

Difference between heaven and Paradise: 

Man was made in the Image of God. That is gloriousness. 

Coming short of the glory of God is no longer in His Image — naked and ashamed.

 

Nakedness: 

Gloriousness is naked without shame. (Gen 2:25). “Uncovered” (transparent). 

Whatever flesh they had was transparent. They were “very good” (Gen 1:29) or glorious (splendor) because within they were the Image of God.

 Then the two were ashamed of their nakedness (blushing: their Image concealed). 

Concealed with what? Fig leaves. (Not enough) 

They had lost their glory. No longer could the Image of God (His Genome) be seen because it had changed to be like the old creature.

 

Flesh:

 

Apparently, the flesh of the Serpent (Lucifer) was inglorious and the image inside cunning. 

Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins and clothed them. (Gen 3:21) 

God by grace clothed them; perhaps with both lambs skins and with grace.

 

Grace: 

Grace is unmerited favor, and it was not by their own hands but a gift of God: “For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God” (Ephes 2:8). 

Because God made them flesh, they would trust in Him which is exercised as faith. 

They could now eat firm things (Gen 3:17) and became foragers like the beasts of the field because inwardly they were vipers — cold blooded. 

They came short of the glory, or Image, of God (selem). 

They had acquired the image of Satan (nahas).

 

The images: 

Mankind would become first an eater of herbs and meat, not manna from heaven as before. 

When some look into a mirror; they see beautiful. I see myself as ugly! I know what is within and for that I am humble. 

We are to, “Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up” (Jas 4:10)

 

Glorification: 

We are to admit our ingloriousness, and God will glorify us. 

Regeneration (re-glorification): 

“If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new” (2 Cor 5:17) 

Glorification is an inside out process beginning with rebirth and with completion at the rapture.
