GOD- had planned to make man in His image, but how?

[Oseas]

1 Corinthians 15:v.45-46
45 ...The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.

Well, since the beginning the Word -i.e. GOD- had planned to make man in His image, but how? GOD sent JESUS about 4000 years after Adam, the first earthly man. And JESUS said: My Father works hitherto, and I work - John 5:v.17. Notice that when JESUS said this, still very recently He was in the bosom of the Word, i.e.GOD, but now He already was in person working together with the Word, i.e.GOD, and it at the age 30, or so, then He revealed that His Father was still working, although it was still the beginning of the fifth Day. But Jesus knew what He was talking about, so He said: I and my Father are One.

Yes, since the beginning the Word -i.e. GOD- had planned to make man in His image, but how? once He is Spirit? The Word-i.e. GOD-is Spirit. How could man see an image of the Spirit? What is its image, the image of the Spirit? It would be impossible to describe, unless it be created materially, physically, its own image. This explains why Israel always was tempted by the Devil to create an image of GOD for to worship it, and they made even a golden calf.

According the Word, first He needed to create an image from He Himself and that's what God did, and thus JESUS was born in the turn of the fourth to the fifth Day, Aleluia!!! or in the turn of fourth to the fifth millennium. JESUS was no longer in the bosom of the Father, the Word. GOD-the Word- had just sent His only begotten, for "He loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved. He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the NAME of the only begotten Son of God, i.e. JESUS. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil"-John 3:v.16 to 19.

DETAIL: On God's clock it was midnight, so a new Day, the fifth Day, was rising when JESUS was born, and from that moment ahead the MEN could see and know the image of the Spirit, i.e. the image of the Word-GOD.

Since the beginning, GOD had planned to make man in His image, but how? once He was Spirit and the only One specifically, as whether He was alone? With the birth of JESUS, GOD the Father could fulfill His wonderful promise to make man in His image, as He planned and revealed to Moses about 2500 years after Adam: Genesis 1:v.26 - Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: ... As is written, GOD calleth those things which be not as though they were - Romans 4:v.17.

And the author of Hebrews reveals: Hebrews 1:v.1-4 and so on:
1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,

2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son, whom He hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds (Who is worthy to reach the next world which will be established in this current millennium by the Almighty GOD through JESUS? Check it in Luke 20:v.35-36 combined with Revelation 11:v.15 to 18)

3 Who being the brightness of His glory, and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:

4 Being made so much better than the angels, as He hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent NAME than they.

Well, from JESUS until this current time, have passed more 2000 years, so we are living at the turn of the sixth Day to the seventh and last Day, the Lord's Day, or seventh and last millennium, the millennium of GOD's Kingdom-Revelation 20:v.4-6- , so in fulfillment of what says the Word, i.e. GOD Father-Revelation 1:v.1- through JESUS, the dead shall be raised incorruptible-1 Cor.15:v.52-, and we that are alive shall be changed-Philippians 3:v.20-21- , For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. Aleluiaaa!!! 1Corinthians 15:v.53-54

1Thessalonians 4:v.15-18

15 For this we say unto you by the Word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them to meet the Lord... and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

Now unto the King Eternal, Immortal, Invisible, the only wise GOD, be Honour and Glory for ever and ever. Amen. 1 Timothy 1:v.17

Amen

 

[Oseas]

1 Corinthians 15:v.45-46
45 ...The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.

Philippians 3:v.20 - our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ; yes, our conversation is in heaven, it's according Ephesians 1:v.3, but is it not coming to EARTH? Good question. Of course it is in the Earth.
Revelation 11:v.15 peremptorily states: The kingdoms OF THIS WORLD are become the Kingdoms of our Lord, and of His Christ; and He shall reign for ever and ever.

And JESUS in His Ministry said: They which shall be accounted worthy to obtain(to reach) that WORLD, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: Neither can they die any more: for they are EQUAL unto the angels; and are the children of GOD (John1:v.12), being the children of the resurrection-Luke 20:v.35-36.

As we know, the Word is GOD, right?-John 1:v.1. The Word is self-executing because is GOD(great mystery), the Word is the Power, yeah, is the Power, the verses above quoted were written when the Word-i.e. GOD-was made flesh self-NAMED JESUS, "Who being the brightness of GOD's glory, and the EXPRESS IMAGE of His Person(GOD's Person), and upholding all things by the Word of His Power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty -(at right hand of the Power) on high-Hebrews 1:v.3.

Again: About the question: Yes, it is coming to EARTH, after all, as GOD revealed to Isaiah, He is here as He says: "Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth? It is He that sitteth upon the circle of the Earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the HEAVENS as a curtain(i.e. the wonderful celestial environments of the Old and New Testaments established by Him here on Earth), and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in: (with His sons-John 1:v.12).

And now?

Well, now will be established the 3rd heaven in this WORLD, i.e. the 3rd celestial environment where John Apostle was caught up as a guest-Revelation 4- and Paul Apostle was caught up in vision, and through revelations of the Lord he heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. 2 Corinthians 12:v.2-3

Again Luke 20:v.35-36: They which shall be accounted worthy to obtain(to reach) that WORLD (the 3rd HEAVEN to be established here in the Earth-Revelation 5:v.10 among others references-, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: Neither can they die any more: for they are EQUAL unto the angels; and are the children of GOD(John1:v.12), being the children of the resurrection.
Therefore, in this new millennium, there will be another NATURE, i.e. the NATURE of all things will be changed here in this Earth which was CURSED by GOD because of man, so instead of the CURSE, the blessing. This will be LITERALLY fulfilled from now on. Remember: The Word is GOD, the Word is self-executing according was preestablished and revealed.

Again: The kingdoms OF THIS WORLD are become the Kingdoms of our LORD and of His Christ and He will reign for ever and ever. Revelation 11:v.15. So, there will be a spiritual BATTLE against this devilish/ satanic world ruled by the Old Serpent, called also the Devil and Satan-which deceiveth the whole world-Revelation 12:v.9. And how do the nations will react? The nations will be angry-Revelation 11: v.18, Well, we know that the nations will rage, yeah, will rage, the kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against His anointed, saying, "Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us", but the LORD will laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Psalm 2

The LORD said: Joel 2:v.1-3
1 Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the Dy of the Lord cometh, for it is nigh at hand; (That is this current 7th and last Day, the LORD's Day)
2 A Day of darkness and of gloominess, a Day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.
3 A FIRE devoureth before them; and behind them a flame BURNETH: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them A DESOLATE WILDERNESS; yea, and nothing shall escape them.

Psalms 149:v.3-9
3 Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.
4 For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people: He will beautify the meek with salvation. (Matthew 5:v.5)
5 Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.
6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand;
7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;
8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
9 To execute upon them the Judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the Lord.

Get ready

In Christ JESUS, KING of kings and LORD of lords

In the beginning....GOD! (Genesis 1:1-6:8)

QUOTE from brother Jacob: -> ""(Adam) was not "created" but "Made' (Asah) out of the dust of the Earth (Adamah). So, we could say that "Man" is the "dust or earth" formed and shaped into a human being with the spirit of life. Man was made in the "solid shadow" of the invisible God)"".

Based in the words of our Jewish and Christian brother called Jacob, above quoted, I replied and commented as follow:

Yes, brother, the first MAN is of the earth, earthy->(1Corinthians 15:47), as you said, brother, "MAN was not "created" but "Made' (Asah) out of the dust of the Earth (Adamah)"; I judge that your interpretation has a very profound sense, something like very invisible to be perceived, as follow:->

When does the earthy MAN, or MAN of the earth, was made by the Word of GOD? -> Genesis 1:24-25 reveal, as follow:

24 And GOD said, Let the earth bring forth the LIVING CREATURE after HIS KIND, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.->Here MAN appeared, was "Made'(Asah) out of the dust of the earth(Adamah)",as was also REVEALED to the Apostle Peter:-> 2Peter 2:12:->12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed....

25 And GOD made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and GOD saw that it was good

Genesis 2:4 and 7:-> 4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord GOD made the earth and the heavens,
So, First GOD made MAN of the dust of the earth, the first MAN, animal, natural MAN, a beast, a brute beast(2Peter 2:12);
​

GENESIS 1:30 -> 30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Times after, GOD CREATED MAN, he which is spiritual.->1Corinthians 15:46→ Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. As follow:→

Genesis 1: 26-27:​

26 And GOD said, Let us make(CREATE) MAN in OUR image, after OUR likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 So GOD CREATED MAN in His own image, in the IMAGE of GOD CREATED He him; male and female created He them.

Genesxis 2:7-9​

7 And the Lord GOD formed MAN of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the BREATH of Life; and MAN became a living soul.->ISAIAH 2:22, take a look.
8 And the Lord GOD planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the MAN whom He had formed.
9 And out of the ground made the Lord GOD to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

Genesis 1:28-29​

28 And GOD blessed them, and GOD said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
29 And GOD said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The angel of the Lord, John the Baptist(Matthew 11:10), revealed:-> John 1:18-> No man hath seen GOD at any time(invisible GOD), the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, He hath declared Him. (How?-> Colossians 1:15-19, as follow:
15 JESUS is the image of the invisible GOD, the firstborn of every creature:
16 For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for Him: -> Alleluia!!
17 And He is before all things, and by Him all things consist.
18 And He is the head of the body, the Church:-Alleluia!- who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things He might have the preeminence.
19 For it pleased the Father that in Him should all fulness dwell; ) Praise the Lord, our GOD.

Well, I am back from my trip to Miami, FL, for 3 weeks. Need to catch up on the articles. Had a blessed time with family and ministry.

Torah / Bible study: Genesis 1:1-6:8

I won't go into a lot of detail like I did for our Messianic Jewish brethren, since a lot of people might not understand the Hebraic terms, yet I would like to hit on the main points, so I am writing this from scratch, sort of saying.

GEN 1:1: "In the Beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth" "B'reisheet Bara Elohim ET HaShamayim v'Et HaAretz"
This is the first verse, in English and in Hebrew. What is going on here? What is the "beginning? The beginning of what? We look at God (Elohim), who is from eternity past, the present, and eternity future. He "Speaks" the whole creation process into being. He steps out of eternity past (infinity) and creates a parallel dimension called "time." (finitity) So, it seems to be the beginning of time itself.

If we count the original Hebrew words, we see 7 words. 7 is considered to be the perfect number. In Hebraic symbolism, these 7 words can symbolize 7 thousand years of Earth's history. The word "ET" (not the alien from the movie who called home) has no translation, yet it is equivalent to the Greek letters "Alpha and Omega" (The Beginning and the End), which remind us that God is with us from the beginning until the end of days, and will be with us in eternity future.

The word "Bara" is the Hebrew word for "create out of nothingness, yet for a specific purpose." It is to simply "speak" into existence. And so HE did, and called all of creation "Good" (Tov). There was "light and darkness", both the physical and spiritual manifestations. There is a "light" we can see, and "darkness" we can see. Both are good, yet there is a "spiritual light and spiritual darkness". Spiritual darkness is the absence of the Light of Yeshua/Jesus and His WORD. Then we come to man.

(Adam) was not "created" but "Made' (Asah) out of the dust of the Earth (Adamah). So, we could say that "Man" is the "dust or earth" formed and shaped into a human being with the spirit of life. Man was made in the "solid shadow" of the invisible God).

Man was made and placed in the Garden of Eden. The woman joined him. Both were made in the image "Tzelem" (shadow) of God. They were perfect and sinless. Their holiness was complete and lacking nothing. One idea is that they were covered by the Shekinah glory of God. When they sinned, that Shekinah glory was lifted, leaving them "naked".

The Earth was a "House" for mankind, the animal kingdom, and the plant kingdom. The first letter in the Hebrew Bible is "B"; the letter "B" symbolizes a "house." Now this perfect house is tainted. Everything is going from "perfection" to "imperfection", from "order to disorder" (The second law of thermodynamics).

Cain and Abel, the first children of Adam and Eve, were born in the "tainted image of Adam " with the sin nature. As we know, Cain committed the first murder. God made the first sacrifice, some clean animal or animals, to cover the nakedness of Adam and Eve. We see the 2 directions of the world. Either holiness or sinfulness. Following God or following Satan. Abel was righteous, yet Cain was unrighteous. Given the opportunity to repent, he instead rebelled and "left out of the presence of God," a very sad choice. Yet this shows the world today, we can embrace Yeshua/Jesus and receive "salvation" (Yeshuah) or choose the world and the things of the world, and die in one's sins. Nothing has changed since the "beginning."

Then we come to Noah, who was considered "righteous" in a very corrupt and evil pre-flood world. The other righteous man was "Enoch," who loved God so much that God simply "Took him." Chapter 6 describes the evil condition of the world. Verse 4 says in most translations,"

"and there were giants in the earth in those days, and after that, when the sons of God went into the daughters of man..." In the Hebrew Bible, the word is "Nephilim" (giants). Yet the word "nephillim" comes from the word "fall, or fallen," not giants. So, were there giants back then? The answer is YES. One theory is that when the fallen angels (sons of God) (nephillim) went into women sexually, the offspring had mutated DNA, which produced babies that became the giants. Like I said, it is a theory, or "hypothesis" (educated guess through evidence).

Next time, we will get into the topic of the Genesis flood. One positive message we can receive is that Jesus/Yeshua was the fulfilled prophecy of the "serpent's head being crushed" (by the seed of the woman). Yeshua crushed the head of Satan, crushing the curse of sin and death, to all who come in repentance and receive Yeshua as LORD and Savior. The price has been paid, the gift is for the taking, yet many prefer the lost and dying world. Many are going the "Way of Cain," Enjoying the world now, yet perishing for eternity in the Lake of Fire.

Yeshua is the better choice. Our existence on planet Earth might be brief, maybe 70 or 80 years, more or less, yet eternity is ahead. 70 or 80 years will seem like one single grain of sand on all the beaches of the world.
Choose Jesus/Yeshua, and live forever in Glory!
