GOD'S MYSTERIES REVEALED (DEUT.29:29)

In order to get the full benefit of these publications we have to have a clear understanding of what both man and God lost when the first man disobeyed God and what then took place within that man which has carried over to all his heirs. Before we can do man justice we have to know what had to take place on earth before any life or life from could be. Genesis 1:1-3 tells us that God called Light into the earth realm and this same Light is the light of all man (John 1:4-5, 9; Psalm 84:11 and Isaiah 42:6-7, 35:4-5, 42:16). First man was created in the image and likeness of a Spiritual God and therefore was spirit (Genesis 1:26-27, John 4:24) this took place just after God had spoken all other life forms into being (Genesis 1:25). But man alone has this distinction he is first spiritual and as such has union to and fellowship with his creator. In the case of all creation and indeed from the first when Light was called into another wise dead world in which there was no life or life from but only cacaos. Light brought about God's order or harmony, the putting things straight. Then in Genesis 2 and verses 6 where moisture or water vapor first come up from within the earth God makes from this substance or clay a form of a man into which He now breathers this spiritual being into this form or house which then becomes flesh in which he then now occupies the earth which he has been give rule over in Genesis 1:28-30. It was the end of the sixth day which stands for mans number. Then during the next day, a day of rest, for which man was given it when he with God were in rest form creation but that does not mean that He stopped doing or being, as this is not of His character. This next great event is a crisis when man eats of the tree of knowledge of good and evil and suffers separation or death of his spirit through which he had connection with God and becomes sin by so doing. In other words he takes on the nature of the beast and the serpent, and becomes of the nature and character of the deceiver and usurper Satan, a Satan child if you will. Then God says that through the woman that came from mans flesh and side would come another through her seed which would bruise Satan's head and that Satan would bruise this seeds heal (Genesis 3:15). Then God took an animal and used its skin to cover man and woman which was a figure of His Son who was to come as that seed (Genesis 3:21). Then skipping forward in time we come to a gentile known as Abram, not discounting all the righteous men that had gone before him but he becomes the nation through whom would come the seed of woman, Jesus. Still in Genesis now chapter 12 we hear a promise spoken to Abram who would become Abraham because he trusted or took God at His word. The promise was for a son that would be the one through who a nation would come about. Then we see another man name Moses who became salvation for the nation of Israel through water which is what his name means, just as the name Jesus also means. In fact God tells him that He would rise up a Prophet like onto him but greater than him. This Israel was to have been a light and head, not a tail, to the gentile world around them but instead became as they were lost in sin and corruption. In fact they broke the covenants and promises of God they just fractured them and ground them to dust through the idolatry of their religion. Though God set them many times Prophets and a King Prophet who spoke as God gave them utterance. These they either killed or totally ignored until the appointed end of days, or the everlasting one and forever one would come. He being Jesus the promised Messiah which they've rejected and crucified. All in accordance with Prophecy from Genesis 1 through the synoptic gospels. As the Christ He brought an end to all that which had gone before through the Last Supper for which He came to do within Himself as the sacrifice which Israel had practices then for almost 2000 years at each Sabbath Passover. He spoke of it in figurative language by use of parable, metaphor, symbols and types as a means to keep them hidden from plan view from literal understanding. This literalism has been a block of stumbling for another 2000 plus years. Through it all kinds of religious forms, sects and institutions have come about through mans imagination and religion. Man keeps to his own devices through his customs, traditions, rituals, holidays and other such things which are but hindrances of God's intent and purposes revealed in and then through Christ. The word religion comes from a Latin word "religar" which means to bind, hinder or seize. By it Satan has his way with those caught or trapped in it. We like Israel are called out from Egypt to become a peculiar people of God's own procession as seen in Exodus 19:5; Deuteronomy 14:2, 26:18; Titus 2:14, 1 Peter 2:9 and then in 2 Corinthians chapter 6 He says this through the Apostle Paul: "for you are the temple of the living God; as God has said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be separate, says the Lord, and touch not the unclean and I will receive you, And will be a Father to you, and you shall be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty... Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God." This only the risen LORD could have said because He brought it all about through His Marriage Feast or the LORD's Supper on through all that then took place during the next forty days until His ascension.
