Part 3
As I have said, the
Book of Genesis and the Book of Revelation are a complete telling of
Father's Plan. They show the beginning and the finished plan and work of
Father. In Genesis, chapters 1 and 2, we see Father God as the Creator of all
things. And in Revelation we see Him reigning (along with His many-membered
Body) over all the things that He had created. (Rev chap 21 and 22, 1Cor
15:24-28.
We must know in our heart that FATHER PLANNED EVERYTHING!! EVERYTHING!
We've been taught so much man-made doctrines that are so untrue. We've been
taught that the devil was once a beautiful angel; he rebelled against God; and
ever since, there has been a great battle going on between God and the devil.!
(and between US and the devil).
Another doctrine that we've been taught, is, that once God created and formed
man and placed him in the Garden, that man surprised God and ate of the
forbidden tree. But, let me tell you, NOTHING or NO ONE has EVER SURPRISED GOD!!
HE PLANNED IT ALL !!! (PS 119:89-91, Acts 15:18, Is 46:10-11, Eph
1:4-11) Be sure and read each of these scriptures. Father's Word says, "STUDY
to show thyself approved unto God".
These doctrines belong exactly where they are being taken: into the FIRE of our
God. "Our God is a consuming FIRE.."
It has, also, been taught that the earth that is spoken of in Gen. 1:1 IS the
earth that we now inhabit. But, as we saw in Part 1 and Part 2 of this study,
the meanings of the words, "without form", "void", and "darkness upon the face
of the deep (Gen 1:2), definitely shows us differently. I'm not going into all
those meanings, (you can review the material) , but what it boils down to is:
the earth that was created in Gen 1:1is not this present earth.
Gen 1:2, "and the earth was without form and void..."
The word, "was" is actually, in the original writing, "became". "The earth
became in chaos and darkness". And we must remember, that the purpose of this
study is to show that all things spoken of in Chapter 1 of Genesis, was created
in spirit form.
A conformation of that earth NOT being THIS earth , is found in Gen 2:1,
Gen 2:1, "Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of
them."
Notice, in Gen 1:1, it said, "God created the heaven and the earth...". BUT,
here in Chapter 2:1, we see that the "heaven" has become PLURAL, heavens. Also,
in Gen 2:1, the word "finished" , in the original writing is actually, "brought
to perfection".
Now, in Gen 1:1 it tells us that God created the earth, right? And we saw , in
the last part of this study, that Duet 32:4, tells us that "all of God's work
is perfect". So, if that earth of Gen 1:1 now laid in chaos and darkness, when
He created it perfect, that it couldn't possibly be this literal earth , that we
now inhabit. Right?
So, winding up this subject, actually what Gen 2:1 tells us, is, that when God
brooded over the waters of that chaotic ruin, He then began to call forth or
create this new earth (in spirit form), and it would become manifested in the
perfection that God created it in, later in the natural realm. (And that
spiritual earth of Gen chapter 1, can be likened to US and our journey in God,
just as He planned it to be).
So, I leave you, to allow the Holy Spirit to show which is HIS TRUTH, what
has been taught, or what Father is revealing to us now.
I want to take my time and go through each thing that was created in Chapter 1
It may be a little tedious, but , it is vital that we understand that we
still are what we were created and that Chapter 1's creation was all created
in spirit form, and that includes US. The Book of Gen , like the Book of
Revelation is a spiritual state of being. And everything that is started in the
Book of Genesis, is finished in the Book of Revelation.
We've got to come to know Father's Truths. There is much doctrine that we have
got to let go of.
We are not going to live ( some of us, anyway) here on earth, accept Jesus as
our Saviour, then die and float off to a glorious place in the sky, called
heaven, with "streets of gold" and live happily everafter
Rev 21 and 22 tells us, plainly, that this is not true!
Rev 22:2, "In the midst of THE STREET of it, and on either side of the
river, was there the tree of life...."
Rev 21:21-22, "And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gates was
of one pearl: AND THE STREET WAS PURE GOLD as it were transparent glass.
(22) And I saw NO TEMPLE therein; for THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY AND THE
LAMB ARE THE TEMPLE OF IT."
What's the first thing you see, in these verses? That there are NO STREETS
(PLURAL) made of gold. And what about all those mansions that we've been taught
that we are going to have? There is ONE TEMPLE and that Temple is the Lord God
Almighty and the Lamb!! That sort of kills the old teaching of us flying away
to our glorious , big, expensive mansions that at build by streets of gold,
doesn't it?
Now, I want to share with you, what I feel that Father has shown me. It is not
what most teach, but that's ok. I'll just leave it with you , and allow the Holy
Spirit to show what He will, to whom He will. I want to share this with you, so
you'll know where I'm coming from, throughout the study of Genesis.
I want to look at some "many-membered" things:
(1) the sea (2) the Antichrist (3) the Body of Christ (4) the Church
(5) the Bride
(6) the Son (7) the Saviour (8) the first Adam (9) the last Adam (10) the
harlot
These are ALL MANY-MEMBERED bodies, made up of "members in particular".
I have never been able to accept the teaching of Adam and Eve, the way is
it taught. The teaching of Adam and Eve being an individual man and an
individual woman. I use to ask EVERY preacher that I came across, "IF Adam
and Eve were just an individual man and woman, and they were the ONLY people on
earth, where did their son, Cain, get his wife?" Every preacher had a
different opinion to teach. One teaching was: Cain and Abel , both at their
births, were twins of sisters. Each of them had a twin sister, and they
committed incest, to populate the world. This didn't really witness to my
spirit. I won't go into all the different opinions that I got in response to
my question, but each preacher had a different story (as I'm sure they do today)
and they all had some sort of scripture to back up their beliefs. So, I'm going
to have to stick with what I feel the Spirit showed me, regarding Adam and Eve,
unless Father shows me differently.
I began noticing how so many of the things spoken of in the scriptures were
"man-membered". So, I began a study of this. The scriptures, itself, gives us
the definition of the word, "body".
1 Cor 12:27, " Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular."
1 Cor 12:12, "For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members
of that one body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ."
1 Cor 12:1, "For the body is not one member, but many."
And to show the difference in a many-membered body--in this case--the Body of
Christ, look at Romans.
Romans 8:29, " For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be
conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many
brethren."
Now, although, we are ALL the Body of Christ, this verse shows us that
not all will fulfill this verse. It says "among many brethren", not "in all
the brethren". Just as our natural body is many-membered, (arms, legs, feet,
ankles, elbows, hands, fingers, toes, eyes, ears, mouths, knees etc) EVERY
member will not do the same thing. BUT, all the members are STILL a part of our
body. (Rom 12:4).
So, in my study of the "body" and "many-membered", I found that all these things
that I have numbered, above, are many-membered. I learned that : IF the Body
of Christ is a many-membered Body; then the Church (GOD'S) is a many-membered
body; and the Son is a many membered Body; and the Bride is a many-membered
Body; also are the saviours from out of Mt Zion are a many-membered Body; AS IS
THE LAST ADAM, a many-membered Body. Which is God living His Life in human form,
through the many-members OF His Body!
Also, IF the sea is a many-membered Body; then the Antichrist is a many-membered
Body; and the harlot is a many-membered Body, AS IS THE FIRST ADAM a many-membered
Body!
But, just as the first Adam came with sin consciousness(a many-membered body),
likewise, did the Last Adam (now a many membered Body) come to take sin
consciousness from the earth. Praise His Name, Jesus!!!
I believe that in Gen 1, "the man created in the image of God, was not one
man , called Adam, but, was a many-membered man, which takes in ALL OF
MANKIND, as members in particular. Now, I'm speaking of when "the man" was
created in spirit form, as a spirit being. And when "Adam and Eve" , "fell",
that many membered body of Adam or mankind "fell". And keep in mind that Father
had all of this planned for HIS REASON AND PURPOSE. (which we'll get into
later). And when Adam fell with sin consciousness, the first Adam, that was all
of mankind doing the "falling."
But, now, the Last Adam, a many-membered Body, is MANIFESTING His true self, the
image of Father; a Spirit being, being changed and putting on immortality!
Hallelujah!!
You'll have to allow Father to show you what to believe regarding Adam and Eve.
But , this in my belief, of them.
In Part 4, we're going to look at Eve and some other things that were created in
Chapter 1 of Genesis.
