Hello, thank God for today being the remembrance of the day Jesus was crucified. I wish we would have gotten up to this of discussing the death of Jesus but, we can't.
Yesterday, I talked about the work of recreation that God carried out. Adam was installed as the new guardian of the planet. Lucifer was a king priest(study Ezekiel 28:11-end) and you will discover it. The two offices are not meant to be separated but to be in one person. This is one of the things Jesus came to do. Lucifer was a king over the entire planet earth and at the same time, he was the priest in the earthly sanctuary. It is in his priesthood ministry that his music found relevance. As a Cherub, he was a worshipper; a light bearer. But, as a king, he ruled over the planet earth. Jesus came to restore kingship and priesthood to us; that's why we are now kings and priests. Rev. 1:5.
Back to our subject.
So that we can progress speedily, let us skip some things.
But know that Adam was the god of this world. He was up to the task. As long Adam remain within the confinement of God's will, the Devil is no match for him. God didn't question his authority when he named all the animals, though the main goal was to get an help mate for Adam.
By the way, any man that hasn't found his work (purpose not a job) is good for him/her to be alone.Gen. 2:18-25. Adam had a work before a wife.
GOD'S COMMANDMENT TO ADAM
Apart from the commandments given in Genesis 1:28-30 which were assignment and diet oriented, God warned Adam about a particular tree in the garden of Eden; the TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL.Gen.2:17. Exactly why this tree was planted in Eden I am yet to know for now, but the question is WHAT TYPE OF KNOWLEDGE DOES THIS TREE PRODUCE?
The Bible says it is the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. It means, it helps you to differentiate between right and wrong. But, it doesn't empower you to do the right things. You know that what you are doing is wrong but, the power to stop it is unavailable. Haven't you met people that are addicted to negative things? They will tell you that they know that what they are doing is wrong but, they can't stop it? That is the fruit of the tree working in them.
THE FALL OF ADAM. Gen. 3:1-24
The dominion of the earth was lost in this chapter.
There are many things to explore and touch in this chapter.
1. The first verse made us to know that the serpent was the king of the animal at least at that time. Vs 14 made us to know that the snake had legs for movement before the fall.
2. The fact that the spiritual serpent spoke through the physical serpent is not debatable.
3. The spiritual serpent deceived Eve to believe that when they eat of this tree, they will be like God knowing good and evil. God knows good and evil but He doesn't do evil. Also, man was already made in the image and likeness of God. He doesn't need to eat/do anything else to become like God. The Devil is the Prince of darkness; he rules your ignorance and that's why the light of Genesis 1:3 must continually shines in your heart.
4. Adam wasn't deceived, it was Eve that was. Adam ate the fruit because of love for his wife and because he identified with the woman in her falling state. 2 Cor. 11:3, 1 Tim. 2:14.
5. The Bible says they heard the Word of God walking through the garden. How can a voice be walking? Gen. 3:8. Answer that question.
6. Adam and Eve ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and there eyes were opened. Remember that God has said in Gen. 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
But, the Bible says they ate the fruit and their eyes were opened. A shallow minded person will think God just said they will surely die to scare them from eating of the tree. But God was serious. They died spiritually immediately. It means they became insensitive to God. They couldn't relate with God like before. The connection between man and God was lost. Another thing is this: Adam and Eve DIED PHYSICALLY THAT DAY. PS. 90:4, 2 Pet. 3:8.
Adam lived for 930 years. This is less than One day in Eden-the presence of God. Gen.5:5. The sardonic thing is that sin has so much eaten deep into man's longevity on the earth that the validity of man is just a couple of hours now from heaven's perspective of time.
THE JUDGMENT OF GOD. Gen.3:14-19
The number THREE from dateless past has been known and established to be the number of TRINITY. It also typified LIFE AND RESURRECTION. You will discover that in the Recreation of the planet earth, it was resurrection that occurred on the third day. Instead for God to plant seeds that will produce fruits, He called forth trees with seeds Gen. 1:11-12. The normal order is seed comes first and then the fruits. John 12:24. But, God has established RESURRECTION in this number. The Devil came in and established a pseudo trinity in the number 3 and he brought DEATH into this number. When God stepped in, He took the scenario in the garden of Eden from the number 3 to the number 7 which is THE NUMBER OF THE PERFECTION OF GOD IN ALL GENERATIONS. Hmm! In other word, God brought 7 personalities into that garden as He pronounced judgement and THE REDEMPTION OF MAN. They are:
1. God.
2. Adam.
3. Eve.
4. The physical serpent.
5. The spiritual serpent.
6. The seed of the woman- Jesus.
7. The seed of the spiritual serpent- the Antichrist.
The consequence of Adam's action:
1. The physical serpent lost its feet. This was gained by the spiritual serpent. Remember that I said in the previous broadcast that the Law of Double Reference must be used to interpret Gen. 3:14&15.
2. The woman's pain in child bearing was increased.
3. The ground was cursed because of man. Toiling began-work very hard, little result.
4. Man was reduced to DUST and the serpent was told to eat DUST. YEEEE! It means that as long as the physical serpent go on its belly and eat physical dust, the spiritual serpent has the authority to devour man. May God grants you understanding!
5. Man lost the dominion mandate and the staff of ruler ship of this planet earth to the spiritual serpent. He lost his headship authority.
6. God lost the 'cool of the day communion' with man.
7. Man was driven out of Eden and a Cherub began to guard it from man.
What a pity!
I like to stop here now and continue later in the day.
