THE FIRST AND THE LAST ADAM. . .

 

( BUT ... THE BIG BUT ... WHAT WENT WRONG ? )
by W. B. Howard
"And God said, let us make 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. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him, male and female created he them."[Genesis 1:26-27].
"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,"[Genesis 2:7]
"The FIRST MAN, ADAM, was made a living soul;
the LAST ADAM was made a quickening { life-giving } spirit.[I Cor.15:45]

 
"IN THE BEGINNING" a real life drama of the ages.
In the beginning of the world the Eternal Being, made A GLOWING PLANET "EX NIHILO" out of nothing. As He spoke in pure love,He created the Earth of infinite beauty and variety. He set it like a jewel in space to spin in harmony with every beat of His perfect will. The lovely planet was to be a home for human beings made in the Eternal Being's own image. A perfect man and women Adam and Eve, bearing the very outshining of the nature of the Eternal, were created from the earth itself. How the Creator loved the man and women, and their lovely home, which by now was filled with magnificent, delicate, funny, roaring, soaring, perfumed, brightly hued animals and plants which GOD made for the humans' pleasure and delight. ALL WAS PERFECT - IT SHOULD HAVE STAYED THAT WAY!
 
BUT ... THE BIG BUT ... WHAT WENT WRONG ?
But, the man and woman sinfully chose to 'go it alone'! They decided to 'do their own thing' run their own lives; run their planet; let one of the Eternal Being's rebellious angels tell them lies about the Eternal Beloved and live without the One who made them for Himself. What did the Eternal Being feel? Eternal sorrow, Eternal love, Eternal compassion, for His ruined man and woman. They multiplied across the face of the earth. Their offspring were ruined, sad, sinful, rebellious, cruel, foolish and selfish. Spiritually dead beings were they, who died physically - all because they had separated themselves from the Eternal Life, Himself!

The Eternally - loving Father's heart grieved for His beautiful planet of sadness. In due course, in the great plan of the Eternal, He sent His Eternal Son, (who always was and always will be), to the blue planet. The Son was GOD. He stepped into earth's history to become another man, a second man, a last Adam, who would do what the first Adam had not done - that is, live by the Eternal Being's will and not his own. The last Adam, became THE WAY back to the Father. He took mankind's punishment for their rebellion against the Eternally Loving One. He died a cruel death for them all. He defeated Death and rose to life. He began a NEW CREATION altogether [nothing to do with the first Adam]. That NEW CREATION would be a line which ANYONE could join, if they wanted to turn from rebellion, come to the Lord God, and put their trust in the Son. JESUS CHRIST WAS THE WAY BACK out of disaster. It had cost the Son His life, but He loved them so much. Multitudes of the humans received New Life from the Son.
 
LAST ADAM WINS BACK THE PLANET.
When the Last Adam died for mankind, He also caused something else, very wonderful, to happen. He won back the beautiful blue planet from the rebellious archangel [the same one who had tempted the First Adam to SIN against the Eternal Being]. One day the Last Adam, Jesus Christ, will open the title deed, the scroll, which will signal that His possession of the earth is completely fulfilled. This planet belongs to Jesus Christ, paid in full by His own blood. REV.5 Meanwhile, that wicked created angel, [known by many names, amongst them LUCIFER, SATAN, the Devil] knows his time in control of this earth is very short. He knows the PRINCE OF PEACE, the last Adam, will soon be back to take over this purchased planet. So he devised a fearfully clever plan - He called it "THE PLAN". THE NEW AGE PLAN. He gave the Plan into the hands of demonic henchmen, one of these was the demon Djwhal Khul. Djwhal Khul enlisted the aid of many evil angels, who posed as angels of light. Amongst them was the demon impersonating "Mary",the "Mother of God". There were ecology spirits, who set up a false figure they laughingly named "Gaia, Mother Earth". There were roars of hellish laughter in the courts of Satan as tales were related of sons of the first Adam accepting all sorts of weird demon manifestations. Such monstrosities as the Buddha, Kali, the Rainbow Serpent, Lazarus, Maitreya, Shiva, Mafu, Sanat Kumara, Tuella etc, even false 'Jesus Christs' by the score.

But, the screams of mirth in the hellish circles increased to a deafening pitch when a group of demon reporters told of their impersonations! This horde of evil angels were impersonating extra terrestrial visitors, coming from `other worlds' in U.F.O.'s. The sons of the first Adam swallowed up the deceptions eagerly, wanting to believe with all their hearts the ancient LIE of the archangel, Lucifer. And the 'E.T.s' fed the humans flatteries about themselves, and called the Earth, "Mother Gaia". The 'E.T.s' committed atrocities against the sons and daughters of the First Adam, invading their bodies, but still the rebellious humans would not run to the Eternal Loving Father for safety and mercy. IT WAS INCREDIBLE!
 
ANCIENT LIE
Lucifer had found that the most impressive lie of all in his basket of tricks was The Lie of all lies. This lie went like this: "There is no God out there at all; SELF is God." Then Lucifer built upon this gigantic LIE [which humans loved above every other falsehood] and he added to The Lie a few embellishments - just to dress it up and make it even more delicious. He added: "ALL is ONE - everything is really ONE thing. ALL IS GOD". And just to make the whole LIE exciting Lucifer added: "ALL selves are one world brain - and the whole cosmos flows out from SELF. SELF creates the whole Cosmos." The Sons and daughters of the First Adam loved all of it - it made them feel taller than ten foot tall - they felt ETERNAL DEITIES, ETERNITY CREATORS.
 
SONS AND DAUGHTER OF THE FIRST ADAM UNITE
ALL through the sad history of the lovely blue planet [which could have been a heavenly paradise] the sons and daughters of the First Adam longed to have a ONE WORLD where humans would gain the hideous power of Lucifer IN MIGHT, enough to truly show their own "Godhood". They never ever seemed to realize that the planet was really controlled by Lucifer and his demon army! They never ever seemed to understand that the evil archangel only wanted One World in order to make people everywhere on the earth worship himself as God. He wanted to make humans tortured slaves, grovelling worms - and to see them eventually in torment forever.
 
THE SONS AND DAUGHTER OF THE LAST ADAM
The sons and daughters of the LAST ADAM, the NEW CREATION, understood, however. The Almighty Eternal Being gave light to their spirits so that they did not fall into Lucifer's deceptions. The `hellish hordes' sent delusions on the earth about the nature of reality, about the environment, about truth and error...these poured out on the planet earth like an ugly grey-green mist until everyone (excepting the New Creation in the Last Adam) could not escape. They were so confused that they were willing to receive anything Satan told them. Their minds were blown by drugs, sexual perversion and `religious' practices steeped in the occult New Age. But the sons and daughters of the Last Adam lifted their eyes up to heaven...for they knew their redemption was close. CHRIST JESUS WAS COMING SOON! He would set up His promised government over all the earth which would last for a thousand years. How did they know? The Bible, God's Word, warned and enlightened them.
 
ARE WE ALL MADE IN THE IMAGE OF GOD?
The First Adam was made in the image of God (as was his wife Eve) but all their offspring since the Fall in the Garden of Eden, were "begat" in Adam's image, not God's image (Genesis 5:3). And not only that, but the New Testament indicates that God's Image has to be re-formed, remade (II Cor.3:18). In Genesis 9:6 the Bible clearly states that Adam WAS made in the image of God, not IS made, using a past tense. Man lost the image of God. The Last Adam can restore that image if you let Him.

How foolish is this New Age which declares that SELF is a "spark of the divine", or "God within".
 
DO YOU WANT TO BE IN THE LAST ADAM'S FAMILY - LINE?
If you do want to do so, then tell Him you want to. He loves you dearly, and will not turn you away. He wants you to be with Him forever. (Matthew 11:28)
 
A PRAYER FOR YOU...
"Dear Lord Jesus Christ,

Thank you for dying for my sin. I am ready to admit how much I, personally, have wronged the Eternal Father by my own rebellion and self-will. Please forgive me, and bring me back to the Father. I know you will give me Eternal Life as a free gift. I accept your forgiveness on the ground of your shed blood for me. I now thank you for giving me Eternal Life, just as you promised in the Bible. Praise the Lord! AMEN"
