The word Adam in Hebrew means red colour. To
understand the term First Adam and Last Adam, we need to understand in biblical
perspective the muddle done by the First Adam, its implications for us and then
the Restoration plan executed by sacrifice of the Last Adam i.e. Messiah Yeshua
to bring us back.
1.
Let us closely examine the master
deception plan of the enemy Lucifer or Satan for the Mankind: Adonai Elohim
created man as a living Soul called as Adam which is recorded in Genesis
chapter 2. The soul makes up a person’s whole personality (i.e. heart,
conscious, mind and emotions). The intellect, thought, ideals, love, emotion,
understanding, decision, choice, memory, and other qualities are all associated
with the soul. The Bible makes it clear that the soul and spirit are the primary
intangible aspects of humanity, while the body is the physical container that
holds them while on earth.
Living
Soul consists of free emotions based will and choice-based decision making i.e.
thinking capacity, to make a choice made between the rational (Balanced) and
the emotive (Emotional).
2. Mankind
in the garden of Eden enjoyed the authority as provided by Adonai Elohim God as
mentioned in Genesis chapter 2 :15, but authority was given with a responsibility
i.e. an instruction to mankind in verse 17 and further authority extended over all living
creatures in the Eden Garden as mentioned in verses 19 & 20. Instruction was not to eat fruit of forbidden tree i.e.
Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. The forbidden tree contained the option of experiencing the opposite of
what comes from the hand of God, which implied Do not become self-referring
point in your life. Man was furnished with every pleasant, nourishing experience God could
provide.
3.
Still Serpent the cunning beast,
attacked deceptively the free will and choice-based decision making of mankind.
Serpent started deception by creating doubt in the human soul by asking
question about COMPLIANCE TO OBEDIENCE? Deception was reinforced
by Satan through mixing lies with truth that you will not die, rather you will
be like God, knowing good and evil.
God
wished to spare Adam from pain and death but at the same time left them freedom
of choice for options beyond the sphere of his provision. They ate the fruit of the forbidden tree. They could not resist evil
over good. Their eyes were opened when they realized the blunder with
arrogance.
4.
Mankind later tried to come in
the presence of God not
with repentance but arrogantly showing their futile self-righteousness
(covering their nakedness with sewed fig leaves). The anticipation of being
like God never materialized for mankind. Adam and Eve's state of existence was
not enhanced but was filled with misery and death. Mankind in Garden of
Eden if had repented the whole scenario would have been different, but in fact
they ran form the presence of living God. Rejection and disobeying the word
of God brings curse as evident from the History of Mankind till now. Israel as
a nation is the biggest example of this struggle till now as recorded in the
Holy Bible.
Apostle Paul mentioned 1
Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has taken you but what is common
to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above
what you are able, but with the temptation also will make a way to escape, so
that you may be able to bear it. Ultimately,
they were expelled from the Eden garden to experience what life would be
outside God's perfect will. God made for them tunics of skin and he clothed
them which means sacrifice of self-righteousness is necessary for atonement of
sin.
5.
Mankind need to understand the relevance of provisions which are given
by God, there is prophetic destiny for mankind since our creation, failing
which will lead us astray. As it is written: Galatians 5:13
Brothers and sisters, you were called to freedom—only do not let your
freedom become an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one
another. Although
the plan of salvation was decreed by Lord God Elohim in
Garden of Eden ( I will put animosity between you and the woman, between
your seed and her seed. He will crush your head and you will crush his heel,
Genesis 3: 15) manifested
through his son Messiah Yeshua, yet the mankind could not understand the deceptive game played by Satan
because their soul i.e. mind and heart were corrupted by sin. Sin
entered the world.
They
could not understand the AGAPE (Unconditional Love) of our Adonai Elohim GOD as mentioned in John 3:16 For
God so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whoever
believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
6.
The execution of God’s salvation
plan for mankind by Lord Yeshua our Messiah exposed and nailed the deceptive
game plan of the enemy Satan forever but with only one condition for mankind i.e.
to believe in Messiah Yeshua,
this is our responsibility in our journey on earth as is also mentioned in Ephesians Chapter 6: verse 12 - For we do not
wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers,
against the world's rulers, of the darkness of this age, against spiritual
wickedness in high places. The struggle against sin is
very real and part of everyday life for a Christian believer. We are in a
spiritual battle, yes, it is against Lucifer and 1/3 fallen angles, a multi-dimensional
spiritual battle. Do not grow exhausted
in your souls and lose hearts. We can stand on the ground in this battle only
when we receive power from might of Holy Spirit in us.
7.
Satan or Lucifer is very shrewd,
cunning and master of deception. He has been conquering us again and again
through SIN, we are weak and feeble creatures as our SOUL (Mind and Heart) is
tarnished. Our soul is corrupted and controlled by Sin, i.e. our mind and
hearts are controlled by Luciferian Governance System in a subtle conscious manner.
This
can be very well understood by current social scenario around us, there is
systematic disruptive targeted chaos in the globe which is being controlled
since the ages by the Luciferian
Elite class. They use Mind controlling,
hypnotic words are used to control mind of people to control subconscious level
of an Individual. These words trigger the hypnotic mode of an Individual for
example, in most of the programs on the entertainment industry using specific
words like "New
Normal, Lockdown in the House" in the corona pandemic. These words
are used in screen play used to evoke the mind to be subconsciously accept
oneself as victims.
In advertising and television, commercials industry
discovered decades ago in commercial by simply adding the word "New"
as suffix to the product to describe the same product. As dumb it may sound,
that the public responds to hypnotic trigger word "New", resulting in
multiplies sales, purchases and interests.
When
we look at most of the Individuals in the society, they are confounded by
happening personalized objects and subjective realities, they are imprisoned in
deep world of loneliness, lost in cyber space, sense of isolation is common in
individuals. If they escape it then, new traps are available which lure
individuals such as pornography, violence and suicide.
You have to understand that New Normal is product of
Luciferian world to force you accept a lower standard of living every day and
accept loss of freedom in your lives. TARGET IS “To get you accept what you
did not want to accept”. The primary battle for an Individual is spiritual,
which means a daily struggle against SIN.
Pay attention to what is written in scriptures;
1 Corinthians 15:45-49 And so it is written,
"The first man, Adam, became a living soul," the last Adam
(Lord Messiah our Yeshua) was a
life-giving Spirit. (46) But not the spiritual first, but the
natural; afterward the spiritual. (47) The first man was out
of earth, earthy; the second Man was the Lord from Heaven.
(48) Such the earthy man, such also the earthy ones. And
such the heavenly Man, such also the heavenly ones. (49) And
according as we bore the image of the earthy man, we shall also bear the
image of the heavenly Man.
8.
We as God's people should
have vision and understanding of the Holy Spirit in our lives. There is war
against body of Christ, time of God’s Grace is running out. To
protect ourselves from deception of the enemy, one needs to submits with honest
heart and mind so as to get sealed by Holy Spirit in their lives.
Rules, Regulations, Censorship are changing very fast.
Do not become an instrument of totalitarian change. God has given us as believers power to make
changes. Understand we are not a victim; we have a prophetic destiny which is to
be achieved by travelling on choosing the right road which matches with the
word of GOD and walking on teachings of Lord Messiah Yeshua.
9.
IN the Journey push daily
to move ahead, living word of God becomes the sword of spirit i.e. Rhema for
your life, protecting and delivering you against the schemes of evil. One
caution: There should not be famine of Living word of God in your
life. New normal is Luciferian Satanic Prison to captured the mankind.
The Elite are financing the divisions in the society, the name of game is to
divide and conquer. This is promoting huge gaps in sections of the society.
We need guidance and help of
Holy Spirit to fight this spiritual battle against SIN every day in our lives.
Only Holy Spirit empowers and equips us with use of the Sword of Spirit. The period
of God’s grace is extended by Lord God, as written in 2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slow concerning His promise, as some count slowness, but is
long-suffering toward us, not purposing that any should perish, but that all
should come to repentance.
We must understand God’s plan and will for our
lives through revelation of Holy Spirit as an individual. For what can be seen
is temporary, but what cannot be seen is eternal. Request Lord Messiah our
Yeshua to put his hands upon your eyes, then our eyes will be opened, our sight
will be restored, we will see things clearly.
10.
Understand death on earth is one
of the destinations in the journey of our life, it is not the end of life.
After death we can have heavenly peace with our Messiah Yeshua. It is a not a
fable, or a myth but a reality because our Lord Messiah Yeshua resurrected and
his grave is still empty. Do not be a dry vessel, one who has no hope.
Cheer up, there is call for us to come, accept everlasting Life as written in John chapter 4: verses 13-14 Jesus answered and said to her, Whoever
drinks of this water shall thirst again, (14) but whoever drinks of
the water that I shall give him shall never thirst, but the water that I shall
give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
As
king Solomon has written in 960 BCE, keep
your heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
Diligence of heart can be maintained by the daily meditating upon relevance of
living word of God. As it is written: 2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is
God-breathed, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for
instruction in righteousness. The
lordship of Christ over our will and emotions in our life is mandatory in for
survival.
Come Let us pray to be receive the
GRACE of Last Adam i.e. (Messiah Yeshua’s) grace in our lives. Submit our soul,
spirit and body to him claiming these verses from the scriptures Romans
12:1-2 I beseech you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God to present
your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, pleasing to God, which is your
reasonable service. (2) And do not be conformed to this world, but
be transformed by the renewing of your mind, in order to prove by you what is
that good and pleasing and perfect will of God.
Amen and Amen, God bless, Shalom.
