THE SON OF MAN

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)

 Jesus was speaking of the children of God who would see the face of the Father which is in heaven. That ‘Face’ is the Face of Jesus.

“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.

ENDURE TO THE END

Speaking of great tribulation, Jesus said: 

²¹ And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death. ²² And you shall be hated of all men for My Name's sake: but he that endures to the end shall be saved. (Mat 10:21-22)

 Jesus is describing a very serious time! Soon, all twelve would suffer tribulation, primarily from Nero Caesar, but this must be something greater than that occasion. Think now of Nazi Germany wherein this was commonplace, but Jesus is speaking of the end.

So, what or when is the end? Was the end the death of the twelve apostles? The ‘end’ is telos — when a thing ceases to be. It could mean when the apostles cease to exist, and indeed they endured to the end, but scripture was not written just for them, and neither was it written for only the Jews!

To answer the question, When is the end? Jesus spoke of the end: “Fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear Him which is able to destroy both soul and body in Hell” (Mat 10:28). The end, end is the destruction of your existence. When it is the end for others, for the Christian, the end is a beginning.

That ending is when certain events happen. Of course, some might say it is ‘Judgment Day’ but that is appearance of the dead in the Court of God to reveal why they are guilty.

Paul, on behalf of Jesus, judged sinners at Corinth for in his absence, his Spirit (Jesus) was there for a reason: “To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the Spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.” Satan would destroy the flesh, but the Spirit of the Lord Jesus would save their Spirits, or souls.

When will that occur? “The Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first…” (1 Thes 4:16). That is the ‘Day of the Lord’ and ultimately when the flesh perishes, just as when Paul condemned the sinners at Corinth to die on behalf of Jesus because they did not cling to Will of God.

Submitted for your consideration is that the ‘end’ is on the real ‘Judgment Day’ when Jesus leaves the dead in their graves and saves both the body and the souls of those who were righteous in life, counter to the proposition that He will perish the body and the soul in that day.  

It is supposed that the repentant thief was buried in a pauper’s grave as was the custom in those times, so when Jesus comes again, the living soul of that man will be given new flesh and Jesus will save all the substances of that man, Dismus.

Dismus endured to his end, and in the final ending, his flesh will be saved when it becomes incorruptible. Speaking of the ‘Day of the Lord,’ Paul wrote, “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed” (1 Cor 15:52).

Death is the end for everyone so far as their worldly existence is concerned. Life is not so much that people reside on Earth but that they exist in another realm. Therefore, death is not so much cessation of the body but the perishing of the soul.

The dead shall be judged when Jesus sounds the trumpet. Only the righteous shall stand upright before the Lord, and those who remain in the grave will be told why when they appear before God on the classical ‘Judgment Day.’

Praying for the dead is not efficacious as Luke chapter 16 reveals. The end for them is at their demise. Death delivers the souls of the righteous to Paradise, and the souls of the unrighteous to Hell. Before the time of Jesus, the Jews alone were in Paradise and rested in the bosom of Abraham until Jesus would come for their bodies.

The end for those Jews who had been faithful to God was on the Resurrection Day of Jesus (Mat 27:53). That was the end for them for at that time, their bodies were made alive and joined their souls in Paradise.

The point to this discourse is that the ‘end’ is the end. The end comes when endurance (hypomeno) ceases — bearing the trials prepared for us in the world (i.e., tribulations). Christians shall have tribulations as the apostles did under Nero, and all Christians must endure what is obviously greater tribulations during the period preceding the ‘Day of the Lord” for those who remain alive until that time!

The popular belief is that Jesus will come like a mighty man to save the damned right before they are doomed. That may be the case, but it is far from certain. Jesus spoke of the time, when Christians are in a vicarious prison, afraid even to speak because even their own families will reveal their thoughts. It is in an age when the thought police are everywhere and nowhere can they be avoided. I submit that now is the ‘end’ for you cannot escape detection.

The end, end is when the death angel comes for you if you are not covered in the blood, as in the Passover of the Exodus. That was their end. Those who did not obey the sprinkling of the blood of the lamb were damned. Those who trusted the blood from life provided by God were save from Pharoah and went on their way toward Paradise.

All but a few died before arriving in the land of milk and honey because they suffered great tribulation even as they followed God most of the way. They failed to endure to the end. Endurance is not part way but all the way to the end!

Now consider the days of Noah which is the example for the ending. The test was 120 years of tribulation (Gen 6:3). Their tribulation was wickedness (Gen 6:5) of all sorts, but worst of all, miscegenation by mixing of the kinds (Gen 6:4).

Their end was what seemed to be pleasure, but the result was great tribulation. God shut the door to the Ark and no longer could the wicked enter in and consequently, they retained their wicked natures, even as they would scream for the door to be opened. In His silent manner, God was saying to them, “I never knew you: depart from Me, you that work iniquity” (Mat 7:23) as will be the case on judgment day. (Note that the Ark was a snatching up of the righteous in the same manner as in the end.) That last moment when God sounded His ‘trumpet” ever so silently that only eight entered in and the world was the end of mankind.

That is another way of looking at the end. It is the end of existence in this world whoever it is and whenever it occurs. For the twelve apostles, the end was in the reign of Nero, for us, it is the end of our lives, and for those living in the last days it is when they miss the rapture because of the love of this world.

The ‘rapture’ is when Jesus comes in the sky to gather the harvest. Do not expect many of the righteous to remain because Satan is the fool who sorts them out for God just as he was to do with Job. Yes, Satan is God’s ‘useful fool’ who does all the work for Him. He kills the body by imbuing it in sin, but God ends it for both the body and the soul, just as Jesus revealed.

The end, end is the rapture when God comes for the bodies to rejoin their souls. After that, nothing more can be said or done because those who were righteous shall be saved because they endured to the end, and those remaining shall perish because they did not.

What was it that Christians must endure? The world itself! Jesus came to overcome the world. Jesus said, “These things I have spoken unto you, that in Me you might have peace. In the world you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33).

How is the world overcome? To trust that Jesus did it for us. We merely lean on the Power of His Spirit and the world is overcome! That is how to endure to the end! The minute we cease to no longer trust Jesus (apostasy) is when we fall (Heb 6:6).

Are you anxious? “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God” (Phil 4:6; NIV).

(I spent the morning praying for two that are anxious and spent years praying for another person with anxiety.) The best way to cease anxiety is for them to pray and ask God to allay the fear in their minds, so I pray that they trust God to relieve that tribulation.)

Jesus went on telling the apostles about the end: 

¹⁸ And you shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles. ¹⁹ But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what you shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what you shall speak. ²⁰ For it is not you that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaks in you. (Mat 10:18-20)

 Jesus suffered those tribulations when He was forced to appear before governors and kings for the sake of Himself. He overcame the world so that you need not!

They — the authorities — delivered Jesus to His death. It was meant to be the end of Jesus! But for God; it was not meant to be! It would not be the end for Jesus because the Spirit spoke for Him.

When Jesus was crucified, His Body gave up the Ghost. That was the silent way that God would speak to Pilate and the repentant thief. They, along, with the centurion, Longinus, heard God ‘speak,’ not in Words but deeds. Jesus revealed His Inner Substance, and it was the Spirit that the Jewish patriarchs had seen so many times before.

Calm Pontius Pilate saw Jesus ‘speaking’ but the anxious chief priests and the governors failed to relieve their anxiety. For them, quick relief, was to execute the cause of their fears; and they would do that, not by welcoming Jesus, but killing Him.

What were their anxieties? That Jesus would be king and reveal their shenanigans, dishonesty, and the multitudes of sins that they were doing. (He called them out as ‘vipers’). Jesus revealed to the world how to allay feelings of anxiety, and it was not to fear those in authority, but to fear the One that can kill both their bodies and souls.

Hence, the world is tribulation! The Word made that plain when in the beginning, Jesus made that clear. Christians, every day, must overcome temptations — the ones that give rise to anxiety. Therefore, everyone alive must endure to the end whatever their end may be. They must overcome, not the gravity of the world itself, but the temptations of the world… spiritual ‘gravity.’

Just as gravity is the adversary that retains people here in this world, spiritual gravity is what retains our spirit at the Earth’s core, or ‘Hell.”

Sin is the pull of that spiritual gravity. The cosmopolitans of Noah’s time could not enter that door because sin would pull them down even when they were swimming against the rising waters with all their strength.

As it turns out, it is not you who must endure all things until the end, but trusting Christ to endure them for you, even all the Way to your Cross.

They are not out to get you, but because sin is of the mind, it is your own thoughts that seek your destruction, The thoughts of Jesus are what saves! Our thoughts are genetic and to whom we belong. It is our thoughts that can kill us, and even the demons know that!

THE END

 

THE TIME OF SALVATION

There is much disagreement about just who must endure to the end and who must suffer tribulation.

Yes, Jesus did send the apostles first to the non-gentile cities unto the Jewish people of Israel (Mat 10:6). But was the message different for the Jews than for the Gentiles? God (Jesus) is not a respecter of persons (Acts 10:34). He, however, gave the Jews first chance, even knowing that He would be rejected. If the message was for Jews alone, then would this message even apply to Christians; “Whosoever therefore shall confess Me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven”? (Mat 10:32).

Jesus did not come to only save the Jews but “men.” The “whosoever” is the same whosoever as in John 3:16. Jesus knew so many Jews would reject Him that the apostles must go on their way until they had exhausted their opportunities among the Jews (Mat 10:23). There is, “One Lord, one faith, one baptism” (Ephes 4:5), so why would there be another salvation?

The message was always for everyone, and that was the same one message. Paul wrote, “But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly” (Rom 2:29). Therefore, the Christian is a ‘Jew inwardly.’

The message from Jesus was always to everyone. Christians were also the ‘chosen’ and ‘peculiar” people (1 Pet 2:9). Gentiles were not just foreign races but pagans whose God was another God. For instance, Simon — the Canaanite — was likely not a Jew by genetics but by choice. The gospels applied to that non-Jewish man as much it did the Jewish apostles.

Now consider the following passages in light of those things: 

²¹ Brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death. ²² And ye shall be hated of all men for my Name's sake: but he that endures to the end shall be saved. ²³ But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, “You shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come. (Mat 10:21-23)

 Jews of Israel will not be persuaded before Jesus comes again. Jesus already knew that when He said those things, so the message was not meant only for the Jews but “he that endures” whether it be Jew or non-Jew. The word ‘he’ is not specific (peculiar), so it was not only for the peculiar of the Jewish nation but also the peculiar of the Christian ‘nation’ — the Church.

The passages apply in general, and so does the entire book of Hebrews as well for that matter!

Christians, not just Jews, will be persecuted and face tribulation. “Brother against brother” is also terminology for people in general. For the Name, ‘Jesus,’ those who are Christians shall be persecuted, not just the Messianic Jews.

Furthermore, “He that endures to the end shall be saved” references His Name sake, or Christians. Jews will not be persecuted any more or any less for the sake of Jesus. He, in general, who endures to the end shall be saved. Not necessarily now or even tomorrow, but in the end. The question is, Just when is the end? Those who endure persecutions in the world. That either ends with death or with the coming of Jesus for the living and those who were in Christ before they died.

“And He shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other” (Mat 24:31). The ‘elect’ are not just the Jewish people but those of all Christians who are of the gens of Christ. The ‘elect’ are not just the Jews but those who are Jews inwardly and whose God is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. There will be tribulation and Christians, as Jesus said, must overcome that tribulation. That places doubt about the pre-tribulation rapture as well as when is the soul saved?

Speaking of the mercies of Jesus Christ, it is written: 

⁵ Who (Christians) are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. ⁶ Wherein you greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: ⁷ That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: ⁸ Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see Him not, yet believing, you rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: ⁹ Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. (1 Pet 1:5-9)

 The ‘elect’ are both Jews and Gentiles who are chosen. That includes everybody but the angels that rebelled who were not chosen!

Salvation is to be revealed at the end of time. Christians are kept by faith until the end except for those who rebel against God. The “end of your faith” is the “salvation of your souls.” It is the souls of mankind that are saved and live forever in new incorruptible flesh. The old flesh dies and is never saved.

Salvation is the termination of faith for those who endure the tribulations until the end, called “manifold temptations” and “tried by fire” in those verses.

The doctrines of men are tricky; That it takes only five minutes of faith to suffice is a cunning doctrine. Faith must endure to the end, and the end of faith is either rebellion against God, death, or the rapture — “the appearing of Jesus Christ” — for the Christians. Therefore, the salvation of the soul is indeed at the second coming of Christ, but His coming in the sky long before He comes to reign.

 

 

 

THE GARDEN OF GOD ON NEW GROUND

Yesterday the commentary was about anger with a brother without a just cause. As it turns out, it seems that Jesus was previewing their own judgment of Him with them having no cause. Today, judgment will be explored further, to wit: 

KEY VERSES: ²³ Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; ²⁴ Leave there thy gift before the altar and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. (Mat 5:23-24)

 The topic of conversation was judgment — that someone is angry with their brother, from the previous passage, specifically if someone is angry with you, even without a cause. In other words, you have not judged wrongly, but must reconcile with another person who judged you wrongly.

Again, let this apply to the case of the multitude vs. Jesus. Jesus is their spiritual brother. At best, they would be adopted of God; Paul wrote, speaking of the firstfruits of God, “Even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body” (Rom 8:23).

Converts are the seed that are planted; some mature and the others do not, as is learned from the parable of the seeds: 

And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts. (Mark 4:15)

 The ”Gift” in the key verses may apply to Jesus Himself! The Holy Spirit is the “good gift,” according to Jesus (Luke 11:13). When Jesus was crucified, He gave up the Ghost (Mark 15:39), revealing that Jesus was indeed the Son of God since the Spirit of God was the Gift from God (2 Cor 9:15).

Those who heard and believed had received the Gift, but Satan quickly stole the God-given Gift.

In the case of Jesus, it was Him that bear the Gift. He gave up the Gift for his “brothers” — all who would follow Him; “brothers” in the sense that they gave up their “father the Devil” and came to the Father of all — the Invisible God — who adopts all that call on His Name.

Jesus was the supernatural child of God, having the Spirit of His Father. Everyone else were “bastard” children of the Devil some of whom were seeking Comfort in the bosom of Jesus. [1]

The point here is that Jesus was speaking of brothers in a spiritual sense; He was perhaps not speaking of reprobate pagan enemies as “brothers.” As the “Last Adam” Jesus was the eldest “brother” of all of Adam’s kind. He surely was not only speaking to only potential Christian “brothers” in general, but possibly Himself!

Referring again to the key verse, Jesus brought the Gift to the altar; the “altar” being the sacred Cross. There He remembered that a brother had something against Him. There were many there who before had not been “brothers” at all but adversaries: Pontius Pilate, the repentant thief Dismus, and the centurion who pierced His side. Each of them saw Jesus as God in the flesh as He shed His Blood for them. All three of them became “brothers” as they realized that they were witnessing God in the Body of Jesus.

Jesus remembered them as He was dying. He said to Dismus, “Today shalt thou be with Me in Paradise” (Luke 23:43). “Today” would be soon after He gave up the Ghost because the Jewish Day would end about fifteen minutes before dark. Jesus made it dark at the sixth hour and it lasted until He gave up the Ghost three hours later. Dismus went to Paradise as it was dark, not in body but in Spirit. The Gift that Jesus gave Dismus was the Holy Ghost who accompanied the still living soul of Dismus to Paradise.

Pilate and Longinus, the centurion, at the very time Jesus gave up the Ghost, received the Gift. They too would be part of the reconciliation, “There rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee.” Jesus remembered them because they believed that He was God!

Jesus followed through with what He had preached to the multitude, “Leave there thy gift before the altar and go thy way.” Jesus left His Holy Ghost — His Gift — at the altar, and He went His Way to the sepulcher.

What had happened in the three hours of darkness? His Spirit emerged from Him on the altar and seeded the “crop” of spiritual brothers all over the land. Jesus, without even a moon to sow under, sowed a new “crop” as the Father had done in the beginning: 

⁶ There went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. ⁷ And 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 2:6-8)

 You may have missed it before, but Adam was the first “plant” in the Garden of God, and Eve was of the shoot of Adam. God took a piece of Adam and planted it alongside Him, and the two were meant to grow good fruit.

Eve was trespassed upon and she too made a bastard child and named him “Cain.”

Adam and Eve were of the same “tubular” (root) and were made for each other and no one else. The Devil, cleverly disguised as another image (nahas), made all of Eve’s kind bastard children since she was the “mother of all living” (Gen 3:20), implying that Adam was not their father. Cain’s father was the Devil, the same as ours.

As Mark wrote, Satan (that image in the Garden), “Taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.”

The word, “word” should be capitalized. The “Word” as John wrote is God in the flesh, or Jesus (John 1:1-14). Satan ravaged the Garden of God once in the beginning and many times thence. He can ravage it again to destroy the crop that Jesus sowed when He shed His Water and Blood (1 John 5:6). The “water” was the “Living Water” the Holy Ghost that He shed for them… the “Gift.”

The Blood that He propitiated was for “sins that are past” (Rom 3:25) — the sins of Eve (the First Adam; not the male Adam), for she, not Adam, was the progenitor of all the living. The Blood of Jesus would fix Eve’s original sin — adultery — and with even another kind of being. The Blood of Jesus had the genetics of God within it. Those genes were the new seeds sown to improve the crop fit enough for God to harvest!

And not to forget the key verse, “First be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.”

Jesus reconciled with all his brothers past, present, and future. He opened the ground wherein His Blood flowed and planted His seed to reconcile with all mankind. He fixed Eve’s sin, David’s, Moses’s, and all the patriarchs who came before Him. Then His seed was left in the Earth for all future generations. Indeed, God planted another Garden with the glorious Seed of His “Son,” not in the sense of the “son” being the offspring of the father, but having the gens (genetics) of God, the Father.

Jesus gave His Gift directly to Dismus and left His Seed in the earth on Earth for all mankind for all generations in perpetuity. Dismus was engendered from God above (“born again:” John 3:7) by His “Seed” — the Son.

Was Jesus, in the key verse, speaking of His own (God’s) reconciliation with His creatures? Perhaps so. It seems that the crucifixion was God’s Reconciliation with mankind, and that it was:

⁹ Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. ¹⁰ For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son. (Rom 5:9-10)

 The multitude to which Jesus was speaking were not “brothers” but those elect who would hear Him. Some would believe on Him, and some would not. Some would believe for awhile but later turn on Him. However, they were all brothers in a spiritual sense because even the evilest had potential to survive the Garden of God on new ground that Jesus would plant.

It was Him that was the Vine that would produce new creatures from the husbandry of God, and they were the “branches” who could either grow or wither (John 15:1-2).

At first glance, I was ready to dismiss the key verse and gloss over it as an example or human reconciliation. Reconciliation was in the Plan of God and I almost missed it!

  The Mercy Seat on the Ark of the Covenant has much significance. It is not mentioned by name except in the Old Testament, but it is a foreshadowing of Jesus Christ (Heb 9:14).

  The Mercy Seat is where the blood of animals was sacrificed for the blood of sinful men rather than them sacrificing their own blood. For many, the sacrifice of animal blood seems pagan, but Yahweh never required the blood of humans, excepting one Man who happened to be God Himself. The sacrifice of animal species was done so that the Adamic species need not be sacrificed for their sins.

  It is to be noted that sacrifices in ancient times were all domesticated beasts. The most innocent of the animals were sacrificed for the sins of mankind, and their blood would be all there was for the mutated blood of mankind.

  The Mercy Seat upon the Ark of the Covenant was kept behind the curtains of the Holy of Holies wherein only the priests could go. When Jesus was crucified and His blood was shed, the veil in the Temple was rent in two (Mat 27:41), and by the way, the rocks beneath the feet of Jesus was rent as well.

  The blood of Jesus flowed sufficiently to redeem the Adam’s kind of all the Earth, and the archaeologist, Ron Wyatt, says that it ran beneath Gordon’s Calvary onto the westward side of the Mercy Seat which had been reserved for the blood of Jesus (https://youtu.be/6AbVOdRigOA).

  God designed the Mercy Seat to cover the Law which was to be placed beneath it:

²¹ And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee. ²² And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel. (Exod 25:21-22)

  God sat on the Law (the Ten Commandments). He kept the Law for the Israelites, not that He was the Law but that the blood which was sacrificed was for that time ample to cover the Law. Just think on that! Giving the most prime of the firstborn animals as an offering to God when in this day few Christians will even part with their money!  Their own sacrifice covered their sins, and God cleansed them for presenting some of “themselves” to Him.

  Since the Blood of Jesus was the perfect sacrifice, for all; once and for all (Heb 10:10), no longer was a veil required to conceal God’s mercy and man’s sins. Jesus redeemed the sins of all.

  Suppose that the intent of the Mercy Seat was to symbolically change the blood of the Israelites by a substitution of the blood of domesticated animals. Their pacific nature would be transferred to the people by the mercies of God; not that their blood necessarily changed but their nature.

  What is now known is that the DNA of both animals and men includes their natures; men are naturally men and beasts naturally beasts. God “coded” them in their DNA that way when He created them.

  The tamest of all the animals was Adam’s species (very good). God created him above the creatures to have dominion over them. After original sin, Lucifer — another kind of being — presumed dominion over the man and when Adam hearkened unto Eve, not only did the serpentine nature of Lucifer have dominion over him but the woman as well. Feminism was born that day.

  Since Cain was of the Wicked One (1 John 3:12), apparently Lucifer’s nature had overcome Eve and the blood of Cain had evil in it. Cain means “Wanderer” which points out that his genetics became dominant as he spread sin all over what was once holy.

  The Mercy Seat was to vicariously cleanse the blood of the Israelites. For one year only, it was to tame them and keep them righteous and of God. There was one exception; the first of God’s “flock” to be sacrificed. One time only in Old Testament times did God “sacrifice” human beings:

¹³ Thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them for an offering unto the Lord. ¹⁴ Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children of Israel: and the Levites shall be mine… ¹⁷ For all the firstborn of the children of Israel are mine, both man and beast: on the day that I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for myself… ²¹ And the Levites were purified, and they washed their clothes; and Aaron offered them as an offering before the Lord; and Aaron made an atonement for them to cleanse them. (Num 8:13-14, 17, 21)

  The Mercy Seat was for the priests to make an offering to God but before that, God offered the priests to Himself. The Levites were set apart to be His. Aaron and Moses set them apart for God and God sanctified (Hebrew qadas) them. God cleansed them and made them holy, or right in His eyes.

  Aaron would wash the Levites on the outside (Num 8:15) and God would wash them on the inside, indubitably with His Holy Spirit. Aaron made the “propitiation” for them somehow. Literally, the word for atonement, kapar, is “to cover with pitch” (Strong’s Dict.).

  Somehow Aaron did to the Levites what Noah did to the Ark, only symbolically. Perhaps he anointed them with olive oil, oil from the trees of life, after they were washed.

  Something spiritually happened to the Levites on the inside; their natures changed. God made them new creatures, of course, creatures that would soon begin to degenerate.

  To this day, the DNA of Levites is different than other Jews. Not all Levites were priests. Many had duties that were secular, skillful, and even janitorial since they kept the Tabernacle and the Temples. Some of the Levites were priests who served the Lord directly, to wit:

  Y-chromosomal Aaron is the name given to the hypothesized most recent common ancestor of the patrilineal Jewish priestly caste known as Kohanim (singular "Kohen", also spelled "Cohen"). According to the traditional understanding of the Hebrew Bible, this ancestor was Aaron, the brother of Moses. (Wikipedia)

  Without going into matrilineal and patrilineal chromosomes, the latter is used to identify the most Hebrew of the Hebrews — the Israelite priests. Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jews to this day show a preponderance of Cohen (priestly) DNA of the Aaronic priesthood.

  Even among the dark races of Africa, “Early research suggested that the 6/6 matches found among male Lemba of Southern Africa confirmed their oral history of descent from Jews and connection to Jewish culture” (Thomas MG et al. (February 2000). "Y chromosomes traveling south: the cohen modal haplotype and the origins of the Lemba--the "Black Jews of Southern Africa"". American Journal of Human Genetics. 66 (2): 674–86).

  It seems that Cohen blood, taken from Jews surnamed “Cohen,” does indicate their Aaronic DNA. For the Lemba, Sephardic Jews, and Ashkenazi Jews; Aaron would be what geneticists call their “genetic Adam.”

  When God set the Levites apart by washing them inside, He did something to their blood that remains in their DNA to this day. The blood of God’s people is paramount!

  Lucifer in Eve changed the blood of Cain, and Lucifer in anyone will change their natures. Because all have sinned, then all, just as David, are “shapen in iniquity” (Psalm 51:5). The blood of sinners has iniquity in it, and the purpose of Jesus was to return to the Mercy Seat (then the Cross) and cover the Earth with His “pitch” — His very blood.

  The blood of David would be much different than the blood of his chief kohen. The former would be mutated and the latter certainly purer. Paul wrote about the blood of Levi and Jesus:

⁹ And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham. ¹⁰ For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him. ¹¹ If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron? (Heb 7:9-12)

   Levi was covered with “pitch,” maybe not literally but figuratively. Yahweh, perhaps, made a garment for the priests as He did for Adam and Eve in the beginning. (Gen 3:21). It turns out that indeed God did design garments for priests to signify that they were different inside; that they had grace on them bestowed at their sanctification when Yahweh set them apart. Those garments and their roles kept them kohanim until the Temple was destroyed.

  Aaron covered them on the outside to signify what God would do to them inside. God had taken sinful Hebrews and changed the blood of the Levites. By the time of the crucifixion even the Chief Priests — the chief kohanim — had mutated to be as Judas who had the Wicked One in him.

  In the beginning of Tabernacle worship, the blood of wicked Aaron was made pure in that one branch. Levi was the new “Abel” whose blood was righteous (Mat 23:35). Because kohen blood had mutated because of miscegenation and sin, the Aaronic priesthood would no longer suffice.

  Paul explained that the Levites of Aaron were made pure by God. He restored their blood, apparently to their next “Adam” and that might be to the blood of Isaac who was of God and Sarah. (See my book, The Omega Variant, for that claim.)

  Since Melchisedec was without lineage, it can be assumed that he was God manifested in the days of Noah and Abraham. Abraham paid tithes to him before Levi was ever born. Melchisedec has purer blood than the Levites, and Jesus was of the “bloodline” of Melchisedec since both identify as God.

  The “Y-chromosomal Aaron” is all about the Aaronic priesthood and science has since shown that to be true in many cases. Not explored until Wyatt is the “Y-chromosomal Melchisedec.” The test of the “Messiah’s Blood” as Wyatt called it, was 24 Chomosomes: 23 from the maternal X and only the Y from the paternal side. That blood was tested to be neither human nor beast but supra-natural!

  “Y-chromosomal Melchisedec” would be “Y-chromosomal Jesus”! Thus, since X and Y chromosomes identify gender, then the blood of angels, who are not endowed with gender in heaven would be YY-chromosomal just as I wrote in my book, The Origin of Man and the Universe.

  God created man and identified him with exclusive DNA not in the other creatures. In the beginning the DNA of Adam and Eve may have been the same since Eve was of Adam. Soon, her XX and Lucifer’s YY may have mixed, if my theory is true, and the first inhumane man, Cain, resulted.

  God came to Earth to make new creatures (2 Cor 5:17). The first step is rebirthing (John 3:7) them, changing their natures and preserving them with “pitch” (the Holy Ghost) when He atones them. When the general resurrection comes, then they shall be glorified and returned to the original state of Jesus in whose image Adam was made.

  It seems that born again is the washing and covering on the outside, and glorification the renewed flesh with the new identity (DNA) suitable for Paradise.
