Genesis 3 What Happened in
the Garden of Eden?
-
Identifying the Serpent
-
Adam, operating by the
authority or mindset of thinking he was fully developed as a Son of God when
taking Eve to propagate the race of humanity, had ALREADY risen, in immaturity
and childlike disobedience, against God imbibing as fact his idea (as he
thought it indeed was) that he was a free-moral-agent deciding good and evil.
He then went about to prove this concept by convincing Eve to participate
whereby they could attain god-like status evidenced in the ability of creating
children, men and women, or life perpetually through Eve in the sex act
producing the human race.
-
Therefore, the bestial creation - man, having not arrived at maturity as a
manifested fully adopted and placed Son of God, with the confidence of his
Father, was still learning from God. As he increased in that training and
learning from the Father, he began to think he HAD arrived, within the concept
of self-determination, freewill, and choice, making his own decisions based
upon what he saw and felt, while NOT having the understanding and confidence,
in dependence on God to act. When in that mindset, he is the Dragon, that Old
Serpent, the Devil and Satan. Key here is the opinion one does not need to
learn at the Father’s progression, checking back there at all times to
understand, and then act in that solidified confidence.
-
Only Two and not Three in
the Garden of Eden
-
There are only two parties in
the Garden scenario with God – Adam and Eve.
Adam in the mindset of self-determination, acting as an entity apart
from his Creator, is the Serpent and “apparent” third party. He was in this
mindset and therefore IS the Serpent prior to Eve being convinced to submit.
This is not clear in Genesis 3 and is part of the sealing by God upon the mysteries
of the Bible confining their opening, exposure, and interpretation to solely
Messiah, Michael of Daniel 10:21, where later they are understood by all in due time
that hear him. The author of these pages was privileged to be in Michael’s
presence the very hour this mystery of Genesis 3 was revealed, which was after
we had returned from the Holy Land, leaving on the 1335th day of Daniel 12:12.
This was due to the fact, as we have pointed out earlier, Daniel’s 70 Weeks
WERE fulfilled bringing the further revelation of those things not revealed
within the First Ministry of Messiah of 26-30 CE.
-
From that revelation in the author’s presence as God opened this to Michael, it
was made clear that Adam, still in the Garden, then in the scenario as the
simple man and husband of Eve, is but a pawn in the hands of what appears to be
the Serpent and Eve initiating ideas and actions which are then passed on to
the mere, simple-man Adam who suffers accordingly. The truth of the matter, now
that we have full insight, is that there is no animal, as taught by
literalists, which could talk and then was cursed to lose its legs and crawl on
its literal belly. Let us now analyze Genesis 3 in particular so that we can
plainly understand what is before us which later extends to full understanding
of that depicted in Revelation 12 as “War in Heaven.”
-
Genesis 3
1 Now the serpent was more
subtill than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said
unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the
garden?
-
Identifying the “spirit” is
the Critical Point
-
This is the carnal man having
departed from God in his mindset to believe he is a free-moral-agent and can
operate apart from his Creator; therefore, he is not subject to God in his own
psyche but rather is at enmity with, or an enemy of, God as Paul states in
-
Romans 8:7
Because the carnal mind is
enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can
be.
-
Prior to this state of mind,
Adam was in development as man on the way to full Son of God status, when this
concept of free-moral-agency, freewill, and choice by one’s own will as a
separate entity from God, thinking “I have arrived, I am as my Father” prematurely,
entered his mind as stated in the later expose of this mindset of “free moral
agency,” as given by the Prophet Ezekiel. It is this understanding, short of
full mature sonship, into which all are born as carnal mankind, before we are
raised in a spiritual body, the manifestation of the Sons of God.
-
Ezekiel 28
1 The word of the Lord
came again unto me, saying,
-
2 Son of man, say unto the
prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord God; Because thine heart is lifted up, and
thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas;
yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of
God (He sets in his own mind, what
he thinks is the final and full understanding. He THEN thinks he is as God with
full knowledge, when he is not.):
-
3 Behold, thou art wiser
than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from thee (This is stated in sarcasm, a negative assessment,… NOT a positive affirmative, but rather simply
stating the arrogance that is in carnal MAN, thinking he is spiritual, is as
God, when he is not.):
-
This is a statement of
attitude in the Man of Sin, here called the King of Tyrus. Although the literal
kingdom of Tyre and the literal Prince of Tyrus were real at a particular point
in history, just a few years in proximity to the Prophet Daniel’s prophecies,
this is NOT the full thrust and point of this scripture. As Jeremiah 50-51 uses
literal Babylon to describe spiritual Babylon of the last days when the real
fulfillment of its destruction is seen, so here in Ezekiel 28 the Man of Sin,
the carnal mind of man in every man, or kingdom that comes to power in the
spirit of self-destiny, is the same in character wherever or whenever it
surfaces. What is stated in verse 3 of Ezekiel 28 is the same as in Daniel 8:23-25
with the Zionists in later years and the final king over them, called “the king
of fierce countenance.” They think they understand the dark sentences of the
Law and Prophets and attempt to fulfill same within their own concept. Their
understanding is however, exactly opposed to the true understanding in the
Prophet Daniel in his day, Messiah in his First Ministry, and again against
Messiah in the Last Ministry just before it is exposed and removed permanently.
Moving on to Ezekiel 28:4 exposing this same spirit:
-
4 With thy wisdom and with
thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and
silver into thy treasures:
-
5 By thy great wisdom and
by thy traffic hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up
because of thy riches: (Again when
bringing Ezekiel 14:1-11 to bear upon this scenario here in Ezekiel 28, we see
the prosperity which is indicative of the deception God has ordained upon any
alternate approach to God in an iniquitous manner. This apparent success is
only fully understood in its job to bring the whole program full circle to
disastrous results and final conversion and transformation from men born of the
flesh to be rather men born of the Spirit, carnal birth by water from one physical
mother to being born of God our Father, the Holy Spirit, John 3.)
-
6 Therefore thus saith the
Lord God; Because thou hast set thine heart as the
heart of God;
-
7 Behold, therefore I will
bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw
their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy
brightness.
-
8 They shall bring thee
down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of them that are slain in the
midst of the seas.
-
9 Wilt thou yet say before
him that slays thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a man, and no God, in the hand
of him that slays thee.
-
10 Thou shalt die the
deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it,
saith the Lord God.
-
11 Moreover the word of
the Lord came unto me, saying,
-
12 Son of man, take up a
lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord God; Thou sealest up the sum, full
of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
-
13 Thou hast been in Eden
the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz,
and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the
emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy
pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast
created.
-
14 Thou art the anointed
cherub that covers; and I have set thee so: thou wast
upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the
stones of fire.
-
15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, TILL INIQUITY WAS FOUND IN THEE.
-
16 By the multitude of thy
merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast
sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of
the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst
of the stones of fire.
-
17 Thine heart was lifted
up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy
brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that
they may behold thee.
-
18 Thou hast defiled thy
sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy
traffic; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the
midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the
earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
-
19 All they that know thee
among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never
shalt thou be any more.
-
As we can see from this
prophecy, it states and is clear that the one in the garden of God is “a
man,” and not an ethereal spook, nor an animal with two legs that is
changed later to become something that crawls on the literal ground, as
projected by religious minds of literalism. He is also stated to be
complete or “perfect” up to a point, and from that point deviated, or
until iniquity was found, to the degradation we all see today. This is
represented as the King of Tyre, but is fully, spiritually, and properly
understood, when comparing all of the Word of God, as the MINDSET of the
King of Tyre, which is the same mindset in Adam in the Garden of God as
this portion of Ezekiel 28 states, in his deviation from perfection, THE
DRAGON, operating in the BEAST, man, thinking he has arrived WHEN HE HAS NOT!!!
This is the interruption in his growth process on the way to maturity or full
Son of God status.
-
In this mindset, believing he had arrived at Son of God status when he had not,
he is the Son of the Wicked One, a product of HIS OWN devices as he perceives
himself; thus, in that condition he is the Man of Sin and the Son of Perdition
and in the Garden of Eden scenario, “but a man,” Adam, the “Serpent.” Adam, in
his mindset or Dragon mentality, thought he had arrived at full maturity with God
or was godlike knowing good and evil and was ready to act in that premature
state. That action was to propagate the race of humanity, or produce additional
life, ETERNAL LIFE, as he carnally perceived that concept, via propagation of
his progeny reproductively, physically, generation to generation without end,
proving, in his mind, his godlike status. This is the Serpent, the Devil,
Satan, and the Dragon.
-
Son of God versus Child of
the Devil
-
Man is the Beast that
perishes when he understands not according to Psalms 49:20.
When he receives the full Holy Spirit or comes in actuality to Son of God
status via having the same mindset as Messiah, he is joint heir with Christ and
second born even as Christ is the firstborn. When he receives an alternate understanding,
he believes is truth, when it is a lie, or a shortsighted concept, that concept
being self-determination, freewill, and choice, he is a child of the Devil: A
product of deviation away from truth, yet thinking he has truth.
-
Seriously
-
Adam, operating in Genesis 3
to take control and deceive and manipulate to his ends, is the Serpent. Adam,
as a mere participant and therefore a recipient of said action is just man or
Adam, the man, Eve’s husband. With this understanding Genesis 3 can now be seen
for the reality that it is portraying, and not the fantasy from which much
doubt is cast upon the Bible, right from its very beginning as being a
fairytale, not to be taken seriously.
-
Genesis 3
2 And the woman said unto
the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
-
3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye
shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
-
4 And the serpent said
unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
-
5 For God doth know that
in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as
gods, knowing good and evil.
-
6 And when the woman saw
that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a
tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did
eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
-
Who Did It?
-
We can see the order in the
scenario as the Serpent beguiles Eve in discourse and reasoning, and she enters
by taking the action described as “eating” which is also entered by Adam (“her
husband”) without any beguiling, discourse or
reasoning whatsoever.
-
Do we really think Adam, who
had walked with God, named the animals, looked for a help and mate of his own
kind, would really just docilely go along?!?!
-
It is time to wake up folks
and get a grip on reality!!! Here has been a clear clue all along, of the same
person being the Serpent Adam, while at the same time being the simple man,
Adam, Eve’s husband. Adam, her husband, just partakes readily.
-
Why?
-
Well, because he was the one WHO DID IT to start with. He, as the Serpent in
the mindset of self-determination initiated the concept in Eve. Notice how she
says: “Neither shall ye touch it” and that she “saw it was pleasant to the
eyes.” This is also a clue as to how the Serpent Adam was manipulating her to his objective. They were well-aware of how the species of
animals in the garden reproduced; thus, we need not be graphic here. One can
certainly picture this easily if one is an experienced adult in the strong,
almost overwhelming at times, physical attraction between sexes.
The end of the matter is that the Serpent Adam could not do what he determined
he needed to so do, in order to prove his godlike status, unless he could
create life in perpetuity as a god through procreation with Eve, nor could he
establish a standard of good and evil unless he could establish such over his
wife looking to him for guidance, as well as any children they produced.
-
So, the Serpent Adam conquers
Eve into his mindset, whereby she complies in the sex act to create the life
the Serpent needs as the proof he is as a god able to produce life under his
standard and direction as to what is good and what is evil. Therefore, we have
the race of humanity produced ever since in this same mindset, believing they
are separate entities from God and can decide their own destiny as
free-moral-agents in godlike status; hence, we have the apparent botched mess
called “the existence of mankind,” we see prior to the release of this
publication and the full truth.
-
Next on the Agenda –
Religion – the False Prophet
-
Along with this illusion of
false perception comes all the religions of the world which, without exception,
have a standard of good and evil and say it is up to the individual to choose
one or the other with various rewards and penalties accordingly. The most
prolific doctrines of course are those of an afterlife once one is physically
dead, which in themselves create a place for clergy to officiate this whole
debacle with fantasies and remedies for failures as they interpret same. All of
this is the result of the departure from God’s Sovereignty and meticulous
control, which Sovereignty and control eliminates such needs and remedies.
-
7 And the eyes of them
both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves
together and made themselves aprons.
-
8 And they heard the voice
of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his
wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the
garden.
-
9 And the Lord God called
unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
-
10 And he said, I heard
thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid
myself.
-
11 And he said, Who told
thee that thou wast naked? Hast
thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
-
12 And the man said, The
woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of
the tree, and I did eat.
-
13 And the Lord God said
unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The
serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
-
That Was Not Your Approach
and Demeanor
When You Initiated This
Whole Thing
-
In the verses just quoted, we
can see so many other scenarios in life for all of us. When we want something
badly, we are in a demeanor and attitude of aggression – pushing our will and way
to persuade others. However, when the plan comes crashing down, we become the
poor, little people we are, receiving the rewards for our foolishness, often
looking to blame those that we swayed to our opinion in the first place. That is a simple way to look at this
scenario here in Genesis 3. As the Serpent Adam, self-confident he was right,
he convinces Eve to act with him; however, as Adam the man, he participates as
player and receiver of the plan. When it fails, the man Adam blames Eve, and
she in turn blames the Serpent Adam, not the man Adam, but rather the high and
mighty, pushy Serpent Adam that talked her into it in the first place.
-
Again, Adam is the same beast, but in two roles here in Genesis 3; one is the
initiator of the problem, and the other is the recipient of the problem. The
mindset is the Dragon, the Serpent, the Devil, Satan, acting in Adam the man.
Adam the man is the beast that understands nothing as he should or could if he
had waited upon God as his Sovereign in due time to bring that understanding.
-
In this fallen state, they or rather “he,” the Dragon and Beast – Adam, so
acts, whereupon the last 6000 years is the result. The record of Revelation 12
witnesses the same thing as we compare it to Revelation 13. There in that
comparison we can see Adam the Dragon and Adam the Beast, have the same
appearance in Revelation 12, as the Beast Out of the Sea in Revelation 13,
where it also states of that Beast Out of the Sea, that the Dragon gave that
Beast its power and great authority.
-
Bottom line, there is no more mystery here; the curtain is pulled off the
matter. The Serpent and Adam are the physical entity under two attitudes or
spiritual activating forces. The Serpent Adam acts by a false understanding and
therefore dies, via that understanding “death.” The Man Adam acts by perceiving
his wants and then failures wrongly based upon his dead understanding. The next
consequence is that his confidence and existence in this lack of truth or
operation under a delusion, “hell,” rises and falls, thus following right with
death as stated in the fourth seal of Revelation 6 and Isaiah 28 as well.
-
Condemnation – The Result
of the Carnal Mind
Operating as if We Are a
Separate Entity from God
Can only Leave Us under
the Feeling of Guilt
-
Yet, both Adams are without
understanding in its fullness. The Serpent Adam having
arrived at a status of confidence in that which he proposes, now suffers
condemnation and guilt as Adam the man when he receives a result that he does
not appreciate. This is the determinate
end of every action and thought of humanity ever since Adam and Eve. If we do
good, as we perceive it, and are rewarded accordingly we are encouraged and
believe WE have done it. This still leaves us questioning our existence and
certainly our relationship with God, believing He is outside of us and may or
may not approve. If we do not feel guilty, we at least have some form of lack
of confidence. If we do evil as we perceive it, we can fall even further to
continuing same if it turns to a good outcome for us. Here we will come up with
some argument to justify what works for us. In the Bible, it is called doing
evil that good may come. In modern vocabulary it is called, “Machiavellianism”
meaning the end justifies the means, no matter how dastardly, in order to
arrive at that end.
-
It matters not how we start
in the overall sense of the word and this scenario, because it is all actuated
on a false premise and foundation, yes, the illusion: that we control our own
destiny within the greater parameters of circumstances we cannot control.
-
14 And the Lord God said
unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all
cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and
dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
-
No Higher Purpose Just
Basic Desires
-
In the mindset of the Dragon
or self-determination, freewill, and choice, Adam the Serpent, no matter how
lofty his aspirations and actions, because he perceives them as being HIS OWN
works and ideas, cannot rise above his basic, bestial desires for personal
pleasure and aggrandizement. Even those of humanity that are religious see
themselves as reaping a reward or punishment for their actions in some
afterlife. If they go to church and become extremely “good works” conscious,
they do it for a better reward after they die or with some, just to make it
past the hellfire they have been told awaits them if they do not “accept
Christ” and other such statements. They do all and everything for self. Even if
they do charitable things, it is these motivations just stated that color why
they do them.
-
They do not understand life or the First Two Great Commandments. They are
sealed out and away by the very false mindset they believe is proper. They seek
death, which is their false understanding that they believe is life, and that
understanding flees from them, leaving them feeling guilty and confused. This
is the inevitable end of the mindset of self-determination, freewill, and
choice. Having no purpose of a higher calling, man crawls on his belly or lets
those baser desires lead him in all he does; he eats dust or sees his life as
coming to a termination without understanding. He comes from no purpose as he
understands it, lives his life without purpose except to please his bestial
lusts, and then returns to oblivion or the dust from whence he came as stated
later in verse 19. He is cursed above the animals of lesser order for they are
not conscious of any higher purpose and have no motivations to aspire to
greatness and deeper meaning to life. They simply feed their lust and instincts
accordingly. However, man DOES sense there is something more to life than only
those lusts, and yet, cannot rise above them in the final analysis; hence, our
lot as humans not able to find God and arrive at a higher purpose, which we
sense should be the case, we are cursed indeed above all other life forms and
existence.
-
15 And I will put
enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall
bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
-
Enmity between Mankind and
God
-
The enmity must be understood
from all of the Word of God and not privately interpreted. The enmity
here is NOT man versus woman as it may appear upon first glance, which
indeed is true on a secondary basis. However, any enmity between man and woman,
one toward the other, is due to the primary enmity of which this is speaking.
THAT enmity is found between the progeny of man and woman, the seed of man and
woman seen as their children, which is the human race, versus their Creator,
God, again as stated in Romans 8:7.
The enmity, God versus mankind, or between God and mankind bruises, or does
damage to, or removes from proper supremacy in orientation, God, the Creator
and head of all things, according to I Corinthians 11:3, putting Him, via our psyche or mindset, outside of His creation
looking in, as if He is a separate entity and not in total control.
-
As a result, this same enmity
causes mankind, in the condition of relegating God outside looking in, to then
bruise or do damage to, or remove from proper respect, mankind’s neighbor. This
extends to the whole creation (God’s Heel) under the rule and reign of man in
his fallen condition and mindset. From our fellow mankind, down to the lesser
animals and the environment, we decimate the planet
earth in our current condition. The “heel,” being the lesser creation, is
bruised under the “head” man, who has removed the true head, God, in first
instance from His rightful position with mankind, thus making man the false
head from which all creation suffers.
One follows from the other. So, looking at this verse again with inserted
designations we have:
-
15 And I (God)
will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed (enmity between mankind and God); it (the
enmity, which is man’s view of self-determination, a false view and
understanding called also “death”) shall bruise (displace or
falsely relegate to a lower position, as
IF not in control and Sovereign) thy (man’s) head (God),
(thus placing man in charge of his own destiny per man’s false
understanding), and (additionally as a consequence) thou (mankind)
shalt bruise (relegate to a place of lack of respect, thereby bruising
or mistreating) his (God’s) heel (lesser
creation ordained to be under man’s rule).
-
The Remedy or Cure
-
Again, we see the remedy to
this resides with the proper understanding of the First Two or the Greatest
Commandments upon which all the Law and the Prophets hinge and which
understanding is behind the First Two Seals, only seen and heard spiritually
when opened by Messiah unto us. This places God as Sovereign and Head, and by
so doing, the positive consequence follows in that we render proper respect to
lesser creation, God’s heel, under us.
-
16 Unto the woman he said,
I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt
bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule
over thee.
-
Chips from the Old Block
-
Because the Serpent Adam has
so taken charge and produced the race of mankind in this mindset of putting God
on the outside looking in, therefore relegating the rest of creation to suffer
under man’s supervision and rule, mothers also suffer in trying to raise their
children to adulthood while being short of what they, as mothers, need for the
purpose of performing that task. This is not referring to the physical
birth of a child out of the literal, female womb. This is in reference
to the full development she tries to bring to that child in order to produce a
mature adult, the full birth making one independent from one’s mother. In this
endeavor, she looks to the stronger and naturally dominant male, her husband,
where the best he can do is rule over her due to that strength, having no full,
participatory knowledge and help. This real knowledge and therefore help, is
the higher understanding which can only come from both the man and woman
being in the good of the First Two Great Commandments and proper
relationship with God, whereupon they have the foundation for proper
development in themselves which can be passed on to their children.
-
17 And unto Adam he said,
Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the
tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the
ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
-
18 Thorns also and
thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
-
19 In the sweat of thy
face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt
thou return.
-
By simple deduction we can
see and understand “the voice of thy (Adam’s) wife,” for which he is condemned
for listening and hearing that voice, is not her physical words expressed, but
rather the counsel and argument against God rendered to her from the Serpent
Adam. She, beguiled by him, then partakes. Adam, the man, then partakes from
her. That of which he partook, was the counsel of the Serpent Adam.
-
In other words, the counsel of the Serpent Adam rendered to the man Adam from
Eve, was the offering of herself as a sex partner to act in production of the
species of mankind, within the mindset of the Serpent. The man Adam as created
by and walking in harmony with God, succumbed to his alternate mindset, the
Serpent Adam, to act with Eve as a man with a woman to bring forth mankind in
Adam’s image and likeness which was not as of YET, in the fullness of the image
and likeness of God. This is well witnessed in their firstborn son Cain who
slew his brother Abel.
-
Literalism again and Its
foolishness
-
The notion that thorns and
thistles, which extends to house flies and mosquitos in some interpretations,
will one day be eliminated and were part of the curse here in Genesis, is
ludicrous. What is presented here speaks, again, as in the terms of returning
to dust, metaphorically expressing that in the mindset of self-determination,
freewill, and choice, relegating God to the outside looking in, will yield a
lack of desirable results, even harmful ones. Man will continue to see
everything he does is the work of his OWN hands and the sweat of his OWN brow
with little purpose, except of a very temporary nature, in all he does.
-
It means, in this false mindset, all our efforts are seen as just that – OUR
EFFORTS and not part of God’s design and purpose yielding the blessing we all
await when we put Him back in the position He indeed has. When THAT is the way
we understand Him, THEN the curse will be lifted to bring in the “world to
come” of which the Bible promises. Here, no doubt many things that are a plague
and pestilence will be understood in the view of a remedy that comes from
understanding God and working together with our neighbors, which includes our
environment created by God as well, in that harmony. Currently many things we
do to eliminate a pressure upon ourselves in our carnal
mindset only creates a hardship on others. The clear case in this mode of
operation is removing people from their homes in Palestine just to try and
fulfill one’s version of the return of Israel to the land. This is a point already well made in this
publication, so we will move on.
-
Let Us Ascend and Sit in
the Director’s Chair
-
Now the question is surely
proper at this point, provided one has followed along with this entire
publication:
-
“In light of the fact that God controls all things as puppets on His strings,
can we view this whole scenario from a different perspective?”
-
The answer is certainly YES!
-
Rather than perceiving this as a fall from a position of perfection or
innocence, we can view this from the Director’s chair, who is also the Author
and Finisher of His Whole Grand Design. In Genesis 1 and 2 we have the Table of
Contents of the Script and Book out of which the drama of life has been
meticulously PREWRITTEN and operates, per that prewritten script even to the
most meticulous details such as when that cell on the bottom of one’s foot dies
or the next hair falls from one’s head. In that perspective, we can see that
Adam was created as a beast on the same day as the beasts of the field on the
6th day. He was the most intelligent and designated to rule. Now that was about
6000 years ago. One need ask himself only one question that will open a
floodgate of truth if he has followed with us so
far.
-
The Question Is:
-
What if we are now at the
end of that 6th day?
-
Well… that is the truth of
the matter. Mankind in our first birth
as natural men are not the finished product of God’s Purpose and Plan when He
said: “Let us make man in our image and likeness.” There were those that did
arrive to a measure of that fullness evidenced in their obedience to God and
His Sovereignty such as Abel, Noah, Abraham in particular, and certainly
Messiah. However, it was and is only
Messiah that could reveal and bring to a spiritual birth any other besides
himself. Those that went before as Sons
of God were so by a direct revelation to them from God that was not
transferable to others by hearing their voice of truth. It was only Messiah
that could raise the dead or those of natural birth into a spiritual conception
and new birth as Sons of God. Jesus states this plainly as:
-
John 12:24
Verily, verily, I say unto
you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abides alone: but
if it die, it brings forth much fruit.
-
It was not until his death,
burial, and resurrection that we have anymore Sons of God by spiritual
procreation. The first one, after Messiah, was Peter, who in turn brought the
truth that raised others on the Day of Pentecost. From there, we know it soon went back into
the vault of mystery when the false prophets came forth taking Jesus’ name
saying he was the Messiah, but putting their slant, chiefly that of
self-determination, freewill, and choice, back in the picture.
-
It is the end of the 6th day
now upon us, for the nation of Israel, as well as the world. We will soon hear
the Words of Messiah again, however in full disclosure this time and without
the ability to be shrouded in shortsighted concepts. There will be no parables
to try and figure out. It will be plainly declared from which all men will hear
and be raised from the dead by that truth, either confirming their faith or
refuting it, in a manner that will then open the door for them to learn truth
apart from their previous concepts now proven in error.
-
Until Then . . .

Returning now to Genesis
3:20-24
20 And Adam called his
wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all
living.
-
21 Unto Adam also and to
his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, and
clothed them.
-
22 And the Lord God said,
Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he
put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live
forever:
-
23 Therefore the Lord God
sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was
taken.
-
24 So he drove out the
man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubim, and a flaming
sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
-
Temporary Help for a
Temporary Condition
-
Here we have the condition of
man and his hope always held before him of deliverance while at the same time
offered temporary help (called colloquially “religion”) within his current
mindset down through history, until the final remedy comes in the end time now
upon us. Adam names his wife Eve, the mother of all living, where he did so in
hope of future deliverance; yet we know that she and all mankind have been dead
spiritually ever since, hence the resurrection to what life really is, when
hearing the Voice of Messiah and a declaration of full disclosure.
-
Until that time, we have the help that mankind perceives they need, once they
are contrite and under apparent guilt.
Their nakedness, which was no problem to God, however, a problem to
them, is given a solution. So, we see following the remainder of history, that
where man approaches God as he understands Him, he does so through having something to cover him that makes him
acceptable to God, again within man’s own perception. Blood atonement
under the Law of Moses and Christ’s own blood during the Age of Grace were also
just a covering making one acceptable in their eyes to approach God, and
additionally stated by God to be acceptable for that approach. However, this
was not the sinless state which comes only by a full revelation of truth, but
rather a stage in eras of time and God’s dealing with man to bring him to the
end of the 6th day now before us. It is that full truth that usher in this day
now upon us in THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL.
-
Defining the False Prophet
-
In this condition of
perceiving good and evil by our own interpretation and even by our
interpretation of God’s very Words, we cannot partake of the tree of life, we
are subject to the third player, the False Prophet. Now according to Ezekiel 14:1-11,
this is of God as well which dictates solely on the foundation that we are our
own god knowing good and evil, so … he provides answers using God’s own word by
his interpretation from that wrong foundation. This is religion indeed.
-
Moving to the Final Stage
and Graduation
-
We must move past the earlier
stages which are built upon an illusion that we control by self-determination,
freewill, and choice as a separate entity apart from God, and fail constantly
needing a covering for that nakedness or needing religion and ritual for conscience’s
sake concerning of OUR failures as we perceive them. This ever opens the door
to the False Prophet and his false authority to tell us, “thus saith the Lord,”
albeit by that false prophet’s brilliant (not really) conclusions, manipulating
even the Bible to justify his ends.
-
We must move to the sure
foundation that God has been in it all to bring us to Son status with God as
our Father. This is only in potential when we remain under blood atonement
perceived to be necessary to cover our sinful state, within our childlike,
unenlightened perception. This applies as well to ANY form and fashion of any religion
that purports to make our unacceptable state as we view it, thus acceptable
once completing said regimen, confession, conversion, etc. as our perceived
remedy.
-
YET, only upon receiving God’s mindset or the Holy Spirit can we pass from
death unto life in its fullness. That happened in preview of the finale when
Christ came the First Time, and specifically on the Day of Pentecost. It will
happen again in all of creation consequent upon and subsequent to the finishing
and Confirmation of the Covenant 70th Week of Daniel seen completed in the
Feast of Tabernacles, and specifically the Last Day, the 22nd Day, the Great
Day of the Feast, receiving the fullness of the Holy Spirit again. This is just
like the time that blessing came on Pentecost in 30 CE, but, here in the finale
or end time we will have it, in its greater application and worldwide
envelopment. This will occur once those events judging Israel so bring her to
repentance and the acceptance of God as Sovereign manifested in proper
government of Messiah. Until then, the
morass of theological opinion and religion remains. The way to the tree of life
is blocked by God’s Messengers and the Word they carry being misunderstood and
misinterpreted in the hands of false messengers.
