THE COVENANT WITH DEATH

Part XIII

One of the great mysteries we've encountered in our studies of prophecy was touched upon in the last few chapters, and that is our existence in the Spiritual Realm. Furthermore, since we were not created as angels, but are the product of the LORD's wonderful efforts to redeem us after the Flesh and Blood fall of mankind, our true nature is complicated by the fact that we still exist in the physical dimension.

Another aspect of the Good News that is the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the fact the Holy Spirit saw fit to inspire the Apostles to address the issue.

"It doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is" (I John 3:2).

In this very series, we have labored to highlight the Scriptures which tell us the "second death,"which is surely Spiritual Death, has no power over the blessed recipients of the "first resurrection."

"Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years" (Revelation 20:6).

The Scriptures overwhelmingly tell us that ever since Adam and Eve disobeyed God, the curse of Death has been on all men and women. This is illustrated in the first couple's expulsion from the Garden of Eden, as well as the LORD's prohibition of their access to "the tree of life."

"And the Lord said, Behold the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever…so he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life" (Genesis 3:22,24).

Adam and Eve were, of course, told by God "The fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden…ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die" (Genesis 3:3).

When the first couple fell to the serpent's wiles, the Lord said "cursed is the ground" (Genesis 3:17) – which as we've repeatedly shown -- followed the Apocalyptic Linguistics usage of metaphor, as articulated in the "Sand and the Sea" doctrine.

The reader will recall this links the realm of the Spirit to the "Sea," and associates the earthly creation with the "Sand" (or the many euphemisms associated with the two domains). This perspective is even further elucidated as the LORD tells Adam his fate is now tied to tilling the earth:

"Thorns also and thistles shall [the earth] bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread" (Genesis 3:18). 

This is a very early reference to the thorns and the briars (another word for thistles), which are widely used as pseudonyms for the prophetic pair of Death and Hell.

For instance, in the prophets, the LORD references the final fate of Death and Hell under this allegory.

"And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day" (Isaiah 10:17).

Thus, even though the LORD said the man had become one of "us" (a Spiritual being – an "elohim" in the Hebrew) -- in accord with God's statement that the act of moving out of the Lord's will would cause Adam and Eve to die -- the Lord immediately established the rite of Substitutionary Atonement to rescue the foolish couple from the Spiritual Death they had invoked.

"Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skin, and clothed them" (Genesis 3:21).  

This Death of innocent animals set the pattern for the blood sacrifices which punctuate the Old Covenant.

"It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these [for] without the shedding of blood is no remission [of sins]"(Hebrews 9:23,22).

The fact that having the knowledge of good and evil made Adam and Eve "one of us" is that which I wish to explore. As long as Adam and Eve were connected to the LORD, they had eternal life, and we see that eternal life from God, who is a Spirit (John 4:24), would have preserved their physical beings indefinitely.

We further see that even in their sinful state, that endless life could have continued as evidenced by the fact the Lord restricted their access to the "tree of life."

"And now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever…so he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life" (Genesis 3:22,24).

It is evident that the "tree of life" is a Prophetic Prefiguring of the life regained through the blood sacrifice of the "tree" that was the emblem of Jesus Christ's death on the cross.

"Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Curse is every one that hangeth on a tree" (Galatians 3:13).

Throughout the Scriptures, we see there is this mysterious relationship between the physical creation and the Spiritual realm. Further, it is apparent that genetics play an important part in the interface between the two, as are evidenced by several mystical accounts.

For instance, the fallen angels bred with the daughters of men, and the offspring became "mighty men."

"The sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair: and they took them wives of all which they chose…and [the women] bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown" (Genesis 6:2,4).

On the other side of the Spiritual divide, the Holy Ghost impregnated the virgin, so she could bear the sinless, only begotten, Son of God.

"The angel…said unto [Mary] the Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God" (Luke 1:35).

When we factor in the fact that the global Bioweapon that has been foisted on the entire world by people under the control of Satan has now been proven to change the actual DNA of mankind, it is clear that genetics is a  crucial interface between the flesh and the Spirit.

DNA is hereditary material that contains the specific genetic instructions for our design. A Chromosome is a package of DNA with part or all of the genetic material of an organism, and chromosomes come in pairs.

A human being, which the Bible says is the crowning achievement of God's creation, has 23 pairs of chromosomes. We have suspected for some time that when Adam and Eve were still connected to the LORD before the fall, they had 24 pairs of chromosomes.

When John was caught up in the Spirit and saw the LORD on His throne, He also saw 24 elders.

"And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold. The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever" (Revelation 4:4,10).

Because it is apparent that a physical change took place in humanity at the fall, and the Bible says that all humans have inherited the sinful nature of Adam and Eve, we suspect that one pair of chromosomes was severed, bringing us to the 23 pairs of chromosomes that are present in all human beings.

Since Jesus was conceived of the Holy Ghost, His physical person was connected to God in every way. We further suspect that when we exercise the very real phenomenon of faith in Him – and Him alone – it bridges the connection to the Father in a way that His perfection (and His power) is transmitted back to us.

In prior installments of the Covenant With Death, we have told of episodes indicating the Sequential Recapitulation of certain events are actually Satan's attempt to "double" acts of the LORD. Most notably, when Jesus Christ indwells the believer as the body of Christ is the temple of the LORD, Satan's effort to change mankind's design through the hideous technology of mRNA – Messenger RNA – is an effort to counterfeit the redeeming work of the LORD as God has changed us into vessels of honor that He occupies.

In this regard, Satan (who is a Spirit) wishes to reprogram the DNA of mankind (including the Christians)  – through the Messenger RNA (mRNA) that carries the modified genetic code – so that he can take the place of God indwelling the temple of God.

"There [will] come a falling away first, [then Satan] opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God" (II Thessalonians 2:4).

We are already to the point where pastors in Christian churches are telling the believers to embrace the Messenger RNA shot that will change their actual DNA, and smugly announcing it has nothing to do with the emerging Mark of the Beast!

"But the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits" (Daniel 11:32).
