(01/10/2016) Called, The 2nd Adam?

Scripture points are shared, today, on Jesus Christ being  spoken of as “the second Adam.”  In the birth, ministry, death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus believers are able to see the completion and fulfillment of multiple divine operations to establish divine utterance.  Included are covenant law, proclamation, promise, and prophecy.  Mankind has yet to be shown all the hidden and invisible things required from Deity for all that GOD has accomplished.  Many different operations and works on a cosmic and infinite scale have been performed by the same Spirit that brought about Creation, the existence of Adam (the male), and the creation of Adam (the female) from his rib.  Divinity has interwoven and united diverse streams of existence and life (i.e., both flesh and spirit) to continue unchanging eternal purposes.  It is written:  Revelation 21:  1-5, King James Version (KJV):  1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth:  for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.  2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.  3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.  4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain:  for the former things are passed away.  5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write:  for these words are true and faithful.  Thus, as surely as we honor Jesus naming him the Son of GOD, we also honor him as the Second Adam.  The fighter at “Yahoo!

If Jesus is supposed to be the second Adam, why didn’t God just appear in human form as an adult…?

…. instead of wasting 30 years before he could become baptised, then start his magic tricks as God?


THE GOLDEN ARROW:  And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.  Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.  The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.  As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy:  and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.  And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.  Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.  (1st Corinthians 15:  45-50, KJV)

“Daniel”, among mature Christian believers the appearance of divinity upon the earth in the person of Jesus Christ is more than a sacred event, or miracle centered upon fulfilling promises to Abraham, and intended to satisfy covenant with Israel.  Jesus is “born” as a human child (we say, Son of man) and a “holy thing” born of a virgin.  The Son of the Most High intervenes to serve as “father” to spiritual offspring, and to establish mankind as a “new creation.”  Death, mortality, natural law, priesthood, and multiple aspects of potential for relationship to Deity are awakened, applied, and transformed.  Included are atonement, judgment, love, repentance, reconciliation, sacrifice and sanctification.  Through the same Spirit that produced and populated both heaven and earth there is an outpouring of revelation from GOD to created beings and living creatures.  More than simply secular knowledge regarding mercy in judgment, and forgiveness of sin, Christ makes actual a process for humanity to receive divine substance, and eternal life.  Through water baptism, there is death of ones inborn spirit along with “rebirth” from divine DNA, so to speak.  Those who are “born again” all must learn and “grow up again” to become mature (we also say, perfected).   Those in the new covenant through Jesus may be spoken of as “saved, sanctified, and Holy Ghost filled” to distinguish them as chosen, elect, and the instrument of GOD for transforming existence, life and the universe.  Consider the following from the Bible:

(1.)  Hebrews 1:  1-3, King James Version (KJV):  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;  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:

(2.)  1st John 4:  8-10, KJV:  8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.  9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.  10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

(3.)  2nd Corinthians 5:  20-21, KJV:  20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us:  we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.  21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

(4.)  2nd Corinthians 5:  17-19, KJV:  17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature:  old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.  18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;  19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

(5.)  Romans 6:  3-5, KJV:  3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?  4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death:  that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.  5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

There are many other verses that should be carefully examined, correctly understood, and applied as power against error.  (For example, (6.)  Luke 3:  23-24 through 37-38, KJV:  23 And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli,  24 Which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi, which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Janna, which was the son of Joseph,….37 Which was the son of Mathusala, which was the son of Enoch, which was the son of Jared, which was the son of Maleleel, which was the son of Cainan,  38 Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.)  Even so, I trust these fragments will be useful.  Be it unto you according to your faith.
