STUDY OF GENESIS 5/30/09

PART 10

SUMMATION OF FIRST 9 PARTS

I want to go over some of what we have seen, in the first 9 parts of this study, of Genesis. And maybe add a few things that were not in the first 9 parts.

We saw that the first chapter of Genesis, created by ELOHIM, was all created in the Spirit realm. In other words, those things are not SEEN with the natural eyes. Our lower mind will tell us, "well a tree is a tree; or grass is grass": but not in Genesis one. It takes STUDY, and that study includes study of cultures, how those cultures SPOKE in their time, how they lived, how the conditions that they lived in, effects their thinking, to know this. EACH thing that was created by ELOHIM, in Genesis chapter one, IS SYMBOLIC of something. So lets begin with these two things.

If you wonder why I keep imphasising the word "ELOHIM", it is because that word not only DESCRIBES God, but it also DESCRIBES US. Elohim means PLURAL GOD. ( you can look it up in Strong's Concordance in the Hebrew section, #430).We know that there is ONLY ONE GOD. But, God EXPANDED Himself, into MANY reflections. These reflections are as much Him, as He is Him. The PLURAL GOD (US) is the visibility of God. He is and has always been a Spirit Being; NOW, since creating His Reflections, He is both Spirit and flesh. (do not think that BEING FLESH is bad, it isn't, it is the MIND that makes the flesh, His image or not His image.). One thing we should understand is that God NEVER LIVED IN THE FLESH BODY until He put on the disguise of the flesh man, Jesus. (or at least in christian teaching). Yes, He did VISIT, being in a flesh body, (in the O.T.)but it was not a continuous LIVING IN a flesh body.

To know our True Identity, we MUST know our name, Elohim. NAME MEANS NATURE. If we do not know that we are the Plural God, that Nature cannot come forth through us. Yes, we can be sweet, soft, giving etc., etc, but that is NOT Elohim's nature. This is what the natural, religious mind tells us, is His Nature. THE MORE WE KNOW OF (of means, out from within) HIM, THE MORE WE KNOW OURSELF. so, USE the word, Elohim: THINK the word Elohim; BE the Eolhim that we are.

Now, let's look at some of the symbolic words that are used in Genesis chapter one. I am not going to list all of them. I will leave some for YOU to study out. We learn more, when we study; and write down what we study. It also allows Spiritual understanding to rise up within, when we study. I suggest using "the first use" system of learning about symbolic writting. It has worked for me, not always, but most of the time. When you come across a word that you want to out; go in the bible, to the first place that word was used. STUDY that word out; then as you go through other scriptures, you will see a deeper understanding of what is being talked about in the Spirit. (Just a suggestion). OK, let's look at a couple words, used in Genesis chapter one:

1) TREES:

Gen 1:11,12. Genesis one shows us God's/Elohim's plan, in the Spirit realm and in the physical realm. In the natural, we all know what a tree is. But, there are different kinds of trees; each tree has its own quality and charactoristics. Some are really strong wood; some are softer, some are taller etc.. If you have studied the Tabernacle of Moses, in the O.T., you will see where the ark was made of shittim wood (a very strong wood); and it was OVERLAID WITH GOLD. Gold represents God and His nature. Wood comes from what? Trees. Wood represents, humanity. You can also see trees as, natures. Some scriptures to look at, concerning, trees:

IS 55:12, IS 61:3 55:12="For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the TREES of the field shall clap their hands" Now, tell me, have you ever seen a tree with hands? And clapping hands, at that!! Notice what is being "clapped" about; "Ye shall go out with joy.." To me, this is a nature. But, you could see it as MAN being joyful. I prefer, nature. Notice also in this scripture: "mountains and hills shall break forth before you into singing". Two more symbolic words; mountains and hills.

IS 61:3 "To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit (attitude) of heaviness; that they might be called TREES of righteousness, THE PLANTING of the Lord, that he might be glorified." Again, we see MAN or NATURES IN MAN. I see this scriputre as MAN that has come into the KNOWING of their True Identity. RIGHTEOUSNESS IS ONLY IN GOD. Also, these TREES were the PLANTING of the Lord. (not God, but the plural Elohim, us. Notice in Gen. one , when God created the TREES, there was no mention of "EVIL". In fact, in 1:31, EVERYTHING that God/Elohim created, He says was "VERY GOOD". But when the Lord God (the plural Elohim, US) PLANTED the garden, what did he put in it, the TREE of knowledge of good and evil. That word "planted" means, #5193 in the Hebrew section: to plant; to fasten; to fix. Now, you know how we "plant" a seed in someone. We "fasten" a thought to their memory or mind; we "fix" a thought in them. "the Lord planted a garden...." If Trees were "planted" where was it planted? In the garden. IF a "planting" is a thought, where was the "tree or nature" planted, in the mind.

Again, to show the difference in what God/Elohim created; and what the Lord God/Elohim planted, look at Ezek. 31:9 "I have made him fair by the multitude of his brances: so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, ENVIED him." It is NOT the nature of God/Elohim to put "envy" into man. But if you look at verse one of Ezek. 31, you will see it is THE LORD GOD, who is speaking, here.

GRASS:

Job 5:25 PS 90:5 "Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth." Grass in Strong's Concordance, #6212, means ; to glisten; any young shoot. You will have to allow Spirit to speak to you as to what "glisten" means. To me , I see it as God's glory shining through a person. Also, I see "glistening" as the offspring of God's reproduction of Himself.

PS 103:15 "As for man, his days are as grass; as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth." (If you look in Strong's Concordance at the word "grass", you will see that most of the scriptures about grass, is about withering and such.)Young shoots, if not water and fed, can wither. But allow Spirit to speak to you on this.

FOWL OF THE AIR;

I'm not even going to look this up, or give scriptures for it. What is HEAVEN? It is our MIND. Our STATE OF BEING. What flies through the heaven? Birds. What are birds? FOWLS. Fowls are thoughts.

Ok , you all can study out the other symbolic words in Genesis one.

We saw that when God/Elohim created (which by the way, another word for "created" is BEGOT) the man, He created the man IN HIS (GOD'S, ELOHIM'S) image. He DID NOT CREATE MAN IN THE IMAGE OF JESUS; He DID NOT CREATE MAN IN THE IMAGE OF A SON; He DID NOT CREATE MAN IN ANY IMAGE EXCEPT HIS OWN. WE are the very IMAGE OF GOD/ELOHIM. AND even our name is ELOHIM. I am not belittleing, the man Jesus, but no matter what we learn of Him, HE WAS THE IMAGE OF GOD/ELOHIM; IN FACT HE, LIKE US, WAS GOD.

Philippians 2:57 (The Living Bible), "Your attitude should be the kind that was shown us by Jesus Christ, who THOUGH HE WAS GOD, DID NOT DEMAND AND CLING TO HIS RIGHTS AS GOD, BUT LAID ASIDE HIS MIGHTY POWER AND GLORY, TAKING THE DISGUISE OF A SLAVE AND BECAME LIKE MAN." We are as HE is. ONLY HIM, because we are out from within Him; we are HIS very substance and essence. We are the Plural Elohim. The Plural of God.

Ok, we also learned or read that "there is nothing new under the sun". EVERYTHING that we see, on this earth, HAS BEEN BEFORE. Most of it was in the Spirit form, as we are, but are just awakening to this fact. We also saw that we are to be established in PRESENT TRUTH. This is one thing that the church system, and many HOME GROUPS are not doing. People come just so far and remain there. Right now, MOST are still WAITING ON GOD to do things. We learned and read the scriptures telling us the GOD HAS FINISHED HIS WORK. (Gen 2:2 and John 17: 4) We are told that WE, ALL PEOPLE have received His fullnes (John 1:16). Now why would WE have His fullness IF WE WERE NOT TO USE IT? He has finished His work; He is resting in that finished work. And NOW, THE PRESENT, HE IS DOING THE MANIFESTING OF THAT FINISHED WORK AS US. One thing we must remember and get use to is the fact that there is no shame or guilt in God/Elohim. There should be no guilt or shame in admitting Who we are. When God put on the disguise of Jesus, He felt it not robbery to be equal with/in God, because He had come to REMEMBER His True Identity, just as we are remembering.

These questions were ask at the beginning of this study and I hope you can answer them according to what we have learned in the study , so far:

1) Do you believe that you HAVE the FULLNESS OF GOD? YES John 1:16

2) Do you believe that you HAVE to die? Can God die? no

3) Do you believe that you are perfect? YES, we are IF we do not look at ourselves as humans, but instead Spirit.

4) Do you believe that you have to have sickness and diseases? We are His image, Him. Can sickness touch Him? No

5) Do you believe that you have overcome "the evil one"? YES

6) Do you believe that you know all things? We have the mind of Christ.

7) Do you believe that there are some, who will not be saved" We are ALL His image, how can HE not come to Himself.

8) Do you believe that those who have seen death, cannot come into perfection without you? NO Heb. 11:4o

9) Do you believe that the words you speak, will cause death and life? Yes, LIFE AND DEATH is in the power of our tongue.

10) Do you bblieve that you really are the image of God? What has the Spirit said to us?

11) Do you believe that by accepting Jesus as your Saviour, you have salvation?

12) DO YOU B ELIVE WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS? NO, not all of it

WE LEARNED THAT AS A MAN THINKETH, SO IS HE.

WE learned that the attonement was in place BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD. Before the DISRUPTION.

WE learned that it was the Lord God that created evil and good. We also learned that it was the Lord God who planted the garden and put in it, what was in it.

WE learned that we are not to stay in the realm of Sonship; 1 John 3:2: It tells us that we ARE SONS OF GOD, BUT IT DOES NOT YET APPEAR WHAT WE SHALL BE. It does not YET appear; this means that at some time, IT SHALL APPEAR. This is where some christians are at , right now. But, let's finish the rest of the scripture; when He shall appear, WE SHALL BE LIKE HIM... In this journey that we are on, Sonship is NOT the end of the journey.

WE saw scriptures telling us that there were things that have been hidden since before the foundation of the world, and that they are NOW coming to us to understand.

These are some words that we came to understand, during this study;

OF= out from within

Garden= our mind

PLANTING= a fixing, a fastening, a "planting" of something in our "gareden" or our mind.

Another thing that we saw: As I have said, in chapter one of Genesis there was no such thing as "evil". Duet. 32:4 "He is the Rock, his work is PERFECT; for all His ways are judgment: a God of truth and without INIQUITY, just and right is he." Do you understand this? HIS WORK IS PERFECT. ANYTHING that out natural eyes see; that our natural mind says, that is seen differently than being perfect, IS ERROR OF THE CARNAL MIND!!

We learned that ONENESS is NOT "WITH" God, BUT IN GOD.

We need to remember these scriptures every minute of every day.

1) Gen. 1:27 WE ARE created in God's Image.

2)John 1:16 WE HAVE ALREADY received God's Fullness (ALL that He is).

3) 1John 4:17 AS HE IS, IN THIS WORLD, SO ARE WE .

4) Colossians 2:9-10 YOU ARE COMPLETE IN HIM

5) Romans 12:2 Be TRANSFORMED BY RENEWING YOUR MIND

It is understandable for a child to be afraid of the dark; but, why would an adult be afraid of the LIGHT?
