A

Today,
reply is on the divine inheritance of priesthood that was bestowed on
Adam and his sons. Because mankind continued to exist for millennia
responding to the active
presence of divinity, the
holy writings provide no accounts that report or suggest that males
became pregnant and gave birth to children, or that there were
widespread appearances of social behavior for Adam and among his
offspring that are presently understood as undermining continuous
spiritual communion. Conflicts, divisions, and spiritual confusion
increased through the rise of cities and the movement toward
one-world empire that resulted in the founding of Babylon and Egypt.
It is believed that the downward spiral of spiritual awareness,
exaggerated pride, human self-will, and sin progressed very slowly as
did the changes that occurred throughout the earth once mankind was
thrust out of Eden. Present day practices did not likely appear such
as casual and premarital sex, divorce, incest, same sex
relationships, and the issues of transgender sexuality. The fighter

THE
GOLDEN ARROW: This is the book of the generations of Adam. In
the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;
Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their
name Adam, in the day when they were created. And Adam lived an
hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness,
and after his image; and called his name Seth: And the days of Adam
after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat
sons and daughters: And all the days that Adam lived were nine
hundred and thirty years: and he died. (Genesis 5: 1-5, King James
Version, KJV)

“Anonymous”,
for developing Christian believers, it is important to understand
that the account of divine Creation and the early development of
mankind that appears recorded in Genesis provides more than a
description of how divinity is the origin of the animals, insects,
fish, and plants that are living on the earth. The holy writings are
to be received as a detailed revelation from divinity that makes the
character, operations, and substance of GOD knowable, known,
accessible, and approachable. With this in view, consider the
following points:
1.
Adam, the first “living soul” was created through the joining of
a material figure fashioned by GOD using soil from the earth and life
essence from GOD (we also say, breath; spirit; word). Adam was
to exist as a life companion to immortal, incorruptible divinity (we
say, the Creator; the Godhead; the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit).
He is called a son of GOD, because the man was a vessel containing
sacred seed (we say, divine DNA; inseparable spirit matter imparted
from divinity).
2.
The male and female humans (Adam and Eve) existed as a single unit
before GOD (we say, a pair called Adam), and were to serve like the
animal and other pairs as the mechanism for the earth becoming fully
populated having diverse life forms and kinds. The pair was to
establish and maintain relationships as family, however, not in the
forms and social expressions we see today. Adam, who lived on the
earth for nearly 1,000 years, was to operate as the patriarch and
head of the human family.
3.
By covetousness, transgression of divine law, and transferring their
allegiance and trust away from GOD to a created thing (i.e.,
idolatry; exalting the serpent), the pair became stripped of their
endowments that appeared as sacred benefits, spirit content, and
divine privilege. More than this, they became subject to the
penalties of hardship, mortality, suffering, and the second death
that had been declared as sanctions of the law.
4.
There could be no “do over” for the many divine acts of Creation,
yet, divinity would fashion and reconfigure mankind as a new
creation by permanently altering his endowment of spirit from
the makeup of GOD. Multiple operations were introduced by GOD to
recover mankind and preserve Creation. Included were atonement for
sin; forgiveness; the establish of priesthood on the earth patterned
after that in the heaven; remission of sin through sacrifices of
blood (a carnal device used to distribute life throughout the
members, organs, and tissues of created beings and living creatures);
divine promise; prophecy and sanctification as well as the
manifesting of sacred grace, mercy, divine prerogative, eternal
purpose, and sovereign will.
5.
Prophets are spokespersons from GOD who speak his word; only priests
are those anointed and authorized to present offerings and sacrifices
of blood upon a consecrated table (holy altar) or within a sanctified
house that is the point of contact between heaven and earth. Not all
the sons of Adam served as heirs to the priesthood of Adam; thus, at
first, only those who continued the line of priests are named in
Scripture (Abel, Cain, Seth). There appears to have been no service
as priests by Eve and her many daughters.
6.
Both Abel and Cain “grew up in the church,” so to speak. Both
were taught the correct way to build and dedicate an altar; both were
taught to pray and worship; and both were taught the correct way to
present offerings and sacrifices. The conflict between Abel and Cain
that finally resulted in fratricide (killing ones own brother) is to
be discerned as the truth that they did not both receive, and obey
the imparted Spirit from GOD. Divinity acknowledged the sacrifice
that was more pleasing as that of Abel.
There
is far more that should be said, correctly examined, and spiritually
apprehended. (For example, 7. The sacred inheritance Adam received
and was to pass on to his own sons was one of priesthood. The entire
Bible is a record of the beginnings of divine ministry to the earth,
and its continuing development using family, tribes, covenant
relationships, kingdom and monarchy, praise, proclamation, and
fulfillment of prophecy. While the holy writings report the
operations of GOD appearing on the earth through thousands of events
within thousands of lives over the course of thousands of years, the
continuing focus remained the salvation of mankind and their
transformation to exist as immortal through the Incarnation and
priesthood of Jesus Christ.) Even so, I trust this fragment will be
useful. Be it unto you according to your faith.
