Reversing the Cursing

When we get frustrated with what we are doing we sometimes blurt out curse words. Spoken from the bottom of our heart, these words may be just a verbalization of what recently became the private matters of our anatomy. It is in fact in the second decade of life when we most commonly voice our frustrations using these vulgar biological verbs. After all it wasn’t long before that when we were being praised by the adults for first mastering the most earthly functions of our initially not so private animal anatomy. So when we get frustrated with our inability to conquer any task, we often resort to publicizing it as an immature biological slip-up of our own animal anatomy.

Since we are told that there will be no marriage in heaven, I will assume that means that heaven’s population is increasing today by way of our earthbound biology. Preliminary as it is. And so I fully expect we won’t be voicing gross biology expressions in heaven. And I surely hope we don’t have to relieve ourselves several times a day forever. Some people do bring that one up when they get frustrated with themselves or someone else. If we do recall our earthly biology after we get to heaven, it won’t be to curse. It will only remind us of the stellar configuration of our new and heavenly anatomy. We are told very little about the body we will have in heaven, but again I am thinking it will have less in common with the earthly animals than our current bodies do.

When I voice my frustration by cussing, using these references to my present-day bodily structure, it may be just an earthbound vulgarity rather than disrespectfully calling on God. It may be my way of acknowledging my own failure to conquer the task at hand in this body I was born with. But it could be a way of being ungrateful to my parents or even God for giving me this very limited body with it’s very limited brain. Either way it is the animal mode that is vexing itself when I cuss like that. 

As a human my not yet glorified body does make it much more difficult to rule as I should. But as humans that is exactly what we are being called to do; to bring humanity to bear on thee animal nature. Learning to rule over the animal nature starts from the day we are born, with the careful humanizing of our newborn body. Humanizing Mother nature is obviously essential to our learning process or we will never even get out of diapers let alone grow up. 

Our human image began with our parents long before we were even conceived. Once we get beyond controlling bodily functions and getting up off of our baby backs, another major human development takes place, when we first learn to talk like our parents. But that doesn’t last long as we soon focus in on what they just worked for a decade to cover for. 

People aged 10 to 21 use more vulgar cuss words than all the rest of the ages combined. Evidently after we verbally wake up to the world we live in, it takes another ten years just to realize that spitting in the wind isn’t really improving our image. It just reminds everyone else of how we started life, like an unrestrained, incontinent and helpless animal. We couldn’t even roll over let alone crawl on all fours. Yet a super-woke teenager is ready to rule the world in animal mode, with his self-limited vocabulary, which just reminds everyone else of his earthbound animal nature.

The adversary himself is first presented to us as some kind of a talking animal in the book of Genesis. Even though he is using words like humans do and even knows God’s words, he is not presented as fully human. He is presented as a talking serpent or a dragon. I think the animal form represents the image of his soul; the form of his character.

When Jesus called the Samaritans dogs, he wasn’t really talking to a person in a dog body. Samaritans were called dogs for intermarrying, not because they had fur or because they walked on all fours. The Hebrews were only to marry Hebrews and that had nothing to do with their outward appearance, such as their skin color. Anybody could become a Hebrew during the Old Covenant days. They had to first become a Hebrew soul in order to join the Hebrew nation. Hebrews were only supposed to procreate with their own soul mate. 

A soul mate is someone who has the same code of conduct. In other words Hebrews could only marry those who were naturally born Hebrews or came to believe in the Hebrew creation, as given to them by Moses at Mount Sinai. Marrying people with foreign gods would corrupt their human creation.

Since Satan is blamed for corrupting God’s original human soul, why isn’t his name so often used when we mess up today? Why when we speak from the bottom of the heart do we naturally blame God or our parents or even our own biology? It’s as if the frustration would still exist in this world, even without Satan to personally blame. 

Is he really the reason we now have so much frustration in this so called cursed human creation? And what about him? Why did he fall? Did he tempt himself into a fall all the while living in his own God-given environment? Maybe God should have made him without a will or without emotions, like a computer, so his behavior could simply be booted onto a hard drive and we could all still be good today. 

But every unique one us was not only born naked and depraved, we were also born with strong desires and emotions, which dutiful parents initially tried to discover and keep satisfied at all times, because we had zero ability for self control as newborns. And it’s not because babies are evil. Nobody thinks that. It’s because they haven’t fully developed yet.

The newborn’s clothing immediately begins to appear from our friends and relatives and even coworkers. Human clothing is part of what makes us different from machines or animals. So why as we approach our adult status do we still tend to fall for this talking animal world we were born into, no matter how good the environment we were raised in or how well we were clothed? We surely don’t need the original animal adversary to personally show up to temp us. There will always be plenty of people on this animal planet to voice their less than human image onto our natural born desires.

Would Adam have eventually tempted himself if not for that talking snake in the garden? Or would Adam have just remained a naked and naive human to this very day? Or thirdly, could Adam have realized and grown out of his naked depravity without falling into animal clothing, by simply trusting in God’s human creation to clothe him? Unless you believe that the kings clothing was meant to remain in naked ignorance forever. 

If Adam didn’t follow his own natural desires then why did he fall with Eve? Even strong desires aren’t necessarily bad. Unlike first Adam, last Adam wasn’t tempted by the devil until after He was fully clothed by humanity. So Satan tried another tactic other than offering illicit, out of bounds knowledge of good and evil. He tried to make Jesus fall for a way to end His present suffering in the wilderness and when that didn’t work he offered Him a way to skip His future suffering in the land. All He had to do was to listen to a less-than-human talking image. Satan offered what this world still offers to people; a way to rule with the talking animals rather than with humanity.

At the baptism of Yeshua the Father confirmed His sonship and the Holy Spirit confirmed His full humanity. After His confirmation, the Holy Spirit drove God’s fully human Son out of the land and into the wilderness. It all sounds so backward since first Adam was driven out into the wilderness only after he fell. We even use the phrase, “I’m only human” backwards. First Adam wasn’t fully human. He didn’t humanly rule his animal desires. Last Adam ruled in full humanity.

In the wilderness with the wild animals and fully clothed in humanity, Jesus developed a strong desire to end His starvation, so Satan tempted Him with that. When that failed Satan tempted Jesus with His desire to get through the test. Satan dared Jesus to turn the test on God by attempting suicide. Attempting suicide would cause the unseen angels to show themselves and help Him. When that temptation failed, Satan appealed to Jesus’ future mission of actually dying in the land; a mission specifically assigned to Him by His Father. While He is starving in the wilderness Satan tries to get Him to avoid dying in the land. If avoiding the cross wasn’t a stronger desire than avoiding starvation in the wilderness, then why did He sweat drops of blood in the garden when it really came time to overcome that one?

Truly ruling His people as a human would only come to Yeshua by first ruling His own God given body. As you know, ruling a city is easier than ruling oneself. For everyone but Jesus that is. He would choose to rule new Jerusalem by dying on the cross in old Jerusalem. 

It was right after passing the wilderness temptation of starvation and duration and isolation that Jesus reentered the land to begin His old covenant ministry to His people. And it was only after His death on the cross that He started His new covenant ministry for His people. But Jesus didn’t intentionally starve himself in the wilderness and He surely didn’t desire to die on the cross, even if His death on the old covenant tree would remove the dead animal mode for His people; so He could rule them in their fully-blessed human covenant.

When the time arrived to complete His most distressful assignment, He knowingly overruled His intense desire to avoid it, by talking it out with His Father in the garden. Yeshua was raised by a human family in a human culture and He uniquely grew up without ever falling for any talking-animal advice. We are not talking about typical teenage temptations here. Jesus was thirty years old before His fully developed humanity was put to the test by the adversary. Then it was 3 1/2 years after that when His own Father would put His uniquely human soul to the ultimate test. Like original Adam, the death of Jesus’ old covenant  humanity was also instigated by Satan Himself. Satan, as a fallen son of God, had his own corrupt sons located in leadership positions in the land of Jerusalem.

Jesus did not break with His Father’s will. He did however break with the status quo in Jerusalem. Jesus said the hypocritical leaders of His time were in fact the corrupt sons of thee original talking animal. Their ill-gotten soul was being fathered by the devil himself. It was their corrupt fallen-into-animal covenant that Jesus came to end. 

Of course Satan failed to cause Yeshua to miss His goal. His goal was to completely rule as an old covenant human by resisting all animal voices to the contrary. His Father then asked Him to fulfill even more than just completely humanizing His own Jewish body. As if that wasn’t already a first. Yahweh asked Yeshua to overrule even His own human desire to live, in order to conquer the death of the whole nation. God wanted His Son to end His spiritually blessed old covenant life for the sake of His fallen bride. Satan of course was ready and willing to assist Him with that goal.

Maybe Satan himself wasn’t a fully woke soul, since he was actually arranging for his own demise. Satan entered the body of Judas to cause him to sell out to deep state Jerusalem. Judas then identified Jesus so some  soldiers could arrest Him and set Him up for the show trial. The eschaton Adam was removed from the garden by the so-called law keepers. They were on the payroll to protect their corrupt leaders from the threat of the one true law keeper. Jesus was in the garden consulting with His father about rescuing the fallen bride when they arrived to arrest Him. Rather than falling with her like Original Adam did, the eschaton Adam accepted the ‘impossible’ mission of saving her.

Yeshua became the only Son to ever to die in the old covenant without ever falling for any voice that contradicted His Father’s. His old covenant death did come at the insistence of many fallen sons’ voices, but without any legal foothold that unfair death couldn’t keep Him. So He was resurrected by the Spirit of God to be their new firstborn Son. He was still in His incorruptible Jewish body when He became the first living soul in the new covenant land. And 40 days after His resurrection, His incorruptible human body ascended to heaven. Because, Yeshua had been raised by the Jews in their old covenant land to be the last sacrifice they would ever need. He became their fully humanized Passover lamb. Only he got to take His animal sacrifice to the true temple in heaven. The true temple is now the whole city of God, like the garden of Eden was. Jesus overcame their fall into separation.

He overruled the gravity of their world as He ascended to deliver the fulfillment of all animal sacrifices. He did it for His enslaved-to-animals people, not for Himself. He didn’t take a never-ending and insufficient sacrifice into an earthly symbol of the true temple. He went into thee authentic presence of Yahweh in heaven with the last sacrifice they would ever need. 

His body did not fall into corruption only to return to the land it was taken from. His body rose to heaven as the only animal sacrifice to be totally tamed. So He did return to the heavenly land He was taken from. 

That was the goal of the teleos Adam; to end animal sacrifice and rescue His nation from the animal sacrifice mode they fell in. It only kept them separated from God in their earthbound Jerusalem. They were supposed to continuously put to death the beast that covered them, yet Moses caught them worshiping the animal image when he came down from Mt Sinai with God’s original proposal. Not that the proposal changed with the second stone copy, but they had fallen while still naked, to worshipping the animal they were supposed to be ruling. They fell to death before the first proposal even arrived.

We sometimes look back at our own beginning and see it as a time of ignorant bliss and we want to return there. If not to stay, at least to get a do-over with what we now know. Maybe we could do better if given a second chance, now that we know better. Which means we want to keep our present awareness but come by it more faithfully the second time around. Which doesn’t really make sense, unless you can be born again without returning to your baby body.

We all have to start out our human journey naked and ignorant like Adam did. And one way or another we do need to wake up to what’s real, but in reality not everybody does wake up. But what about the idea that Israel will be born again by God to get another national do over? Not all the way back to naked Adam as an individual. Not even back to mount Sinai before the naked ignorant nation fell for the golden calf. But just back to the 12 tribes about to enter the land, so they can re-enter the land for the third time, still in their fallen-to-animal mode. Maybe next time they can become better animal-covered humans for the next time they get born again on Pentecost. Will the temple then get destroyed for a third time? Will the entire city of Jerusalem on Earth become God’s eternal dwelling place after animal sacrifice ends again. Will God’s presence really stop indwelling His people worldwide and return to His people in a certain location? It really begins to sound like an absurd story. 

God already made a new betrothal that didn’t fall into animal mode. And the Holy Spirit did prepare His re-birthed people for a better marriage. He now raises His children in His un-fallen human family, by way of the new Jerusalem, which is being kept incorruptible in heaven for you, by thee un-fallen firstborn. New Jerusalem unites heaven to earth by spiritual birth, with the creative ability of the Holy Spirit working from the inside out. We now have the voice of the eternal human soul living within us. 

Yeshua came to get His people out of their fallen animal mode. He even overcame the original talking animal fall of Adam. Jesus died on the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in order to reestablish God’s presence. The Holy Spirit lives within His people, not within a typical city. Today if you don’t have the Spirit of God you are not His people. There are no more animal-covered children of God. We are in the human covered creation.

First century Jewish believers did get the Spirit of God and it was time for them to get more woke. The night was far spent and the day of the Lord was at hand. They were closer to their day of salvation then when they first believed, because for remarried Jews, Adam’s day of death was to be continued, as the resurrected day of the Lord. Jesus had already widowed the fallen bride and made a new covenant with her. The betrothal gift was the indwelling Spirit of holiness and the wedding gift was eternal life. Salvation had drawn near in the first century for the people of God.

New Jerusalem reaches down from heaven to earth. She is now the married mother of all the living because she didn’t fall for the talking animals who wanted to keep the old fallen covenant. She was enabled to stay standing for the marriage. Does reborn Jerusalem tempt people on earth to return to the animal mode. It was first born Jerusalem who insisted that the church return to animal mode and that is still the role of this talking-animal world we are all destined to burn out of and never return to. 

Nobody gets to take their fallen animal body with them when it crumples to the ground. Our old wrinkled animal body is destined for corruption. When it finally falls in biological animal death it returns to the land it was taken from. Even Stephen didn’t ascend to heaven in his firstborn body. As Stephen’s earthbound body was being put to death by the old covenant hold-outs, Jesus stood by the Father in His new creation humanity. Heaven opened for that first new covenant, Holy Spirit filled, born again, Jewish martyr. Jesus had been put to death in the old covenant but Stephen was the first to be put to death in the new covenant.

In the new covenant, the Holy Spirit enabled Stephen to rule even his own Jewish tongue, even as he was being murdered by the still untamed Jewish tongues, who were literally plugging their ears to the voice of their reborn humanity. Stephan used his newly tamed tongue to ask God to forgive their ongoing ignorance being put on display by his old covenant brethren. Even the apostle Paul was still ignorantly agreeing with them.

We were all born in a naked and ignorant body prior to being raised to our preliminary human awareness within the four walls of the home our parent’s provided for us. And like Eden the home we grew up in was only somewhat protected from the outside world. Whether or not your parents were still acting depraved and ignorant when you were born is only a matter of degree. We can all wish we had a better start in life or a do-over, but the good news is you are not held responsible choosing your flesh family of origin. Even first Adam, who had God Himself as his Father, wrongly chose to open his eyes prematurely. His God given soul mate fell for a talking animal and Adam naturally desired to follow her.

The Eschaton Adam was uniquely fathered by God. He wasn’t formed outside the land and then placed into the land like Adam was or like Israel as a nation was. His still unformed body of flesh was spiritually planted in the promised land from the very time of His conception. He was then raised in the human family of His Father’s choosing. But even so, He didn’t manage to avoid suffering. In fact He suffered more than anyone. All the way back to and including the original Adam. 

He didn’t blame His mother or His adoptive Father. But He did question His heavenly Father during His most intense time of suffering. Where are you? Why do you let me suffer alone? Why don’t you rescue me? “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Could mean all those things. 

Nailed to the tree naked or barely clothed and bearing the disgrace of His fallen humanity, Jesus rightly questioned God during thee old covenant reversal of Adam’s curse. God was the one asking the questions to the first scantily clothed parents of humanity right after they became fearfully aware of their own animal insufficiency. They tried to clothe themselves. But the so called law-keepers had unjustly disrobed Jesus and falsely placed a cursed crown of thorns on His head before brutally nailing Him to the tree that He knowingly died on. Yet Jesus wasn’t afraid or ashamed. He was highly offended by their animal behavior. That He asked His Father to forgive them was proof of their offence. But Jesus was even more hurt by the apparent absence of His Father.

With our natural eyes we don’t see that earthly cross as our own personal tree of transition into a legit heavenly awareness, until after the Spirit of holiness opens our eyes to the born from above humanity. Then we do see the very good and very evil thing that happened in old covenant Jerusalem at that transitional time. 

We may like Adam, naturally become aware of the certainty of our own animal death, as we realize how fragile and insufficient our body really is; which could actually come to an end at any moment for any of us for any number of reasons. And we may or may not admit to our own inability to grow up to become fully humanized in our own typical 70 year lifespan on this wild animal planet. Adam himself wasn’t actually admitting to any personal insufficiency with his post-fall words, but he certainly was saying it with his behavior. He was trying to hide Himself from heaven’s gaze with excuses and with fig leaves.

But we will never become aware of anything more evil or more good than what happened on that covenant transition tree in Jerusalem. It is why we restarted the human calendar; to denote the beginning of the new creation body of humanity. Earthbound Jerusalem did not inherit the teleos body of Yeshua. New Jerusalem did.

The good news was indeed given to us by the new Jerusalem Jews, not the old Jerusalem Jews. The good news is that we too can be born again into the new covenant and keep what we already know. If you have the Spirit of God you are no longer in the flesh. Your firstborn body still returns to the land you were taken from. You go to heaven without it. It’s not another perfect sacrifice that gets to rise to heaven. Because you didn’t earn the presence of the Holy Spirit by perfectly taming it. It is given to you during your 70 year average timespan independent of your firstborn behavior.

Eschatos Adam knowingly and obediently took on the death of the naked and cursed humanity in the fallen and cursed city of Jerusalem, typically known as the city of the king. He was stripped of His clothing and put to death by the talking heads of Adam’s fallen progeny. They placed the cursed king’s crown of thorns on His head and hung a sign over it that read, “King of the Jews”. Yet, He allowed it all to happen and even planned for it, so He could send His full human breath to that cursed old covenant city of humanity. But those who tried to save the old covenant city, remained in their animal skin mode. They wanted to keep on symbolically washing their firstborn skin in typical Jerusalem perpetually covered in animal death.

Old covenant Jerusalem’s destiny was however it’s second death, but not before the Jews fully turned to animal mode. The kingdom was being led by a talking animal named Nero. Problem is Nero became the worst kind of talking animal. He mockingly dressed himself in animal skins to cover for his less than human behavior during the last days of the old covenant. The animal skins Adam and Eve left the garden in became a most twisted way to cover for Nero’s now brazenly publicized animal desires. Unlike Adam and Eve, Nero had no shame for his extremely fallen behavior. He was actually sacrificing true humanity to the literal animals in Rome’s political theatre.

During that infamous reign of Nero, Jerusalem entered into a so called ‘peace agreement’ with Rome. Jerusalem liked the spiritual kingdom of God even less than Rome did, so they made an alliance together. Nevertheless, just as the Jews had driven the church out of Jerusalem, they soon tried to drive the Roman presence from their land too. So Rome responded, by surrounding the city with all her foreign armies conscripted from all the surrounding nations, thus signaling the impending second death of Jerusalem. And it would be an animal mode death.

But Jesus came to completely rule over the animal mode not to perpetually animalize the human image. Completing the old covenant human age meant eternal human life, not eternal animal ruled humanity. That was a big revelation to the old covenant Jews who wanted to keep their animal mode. Yeshua over ruled their animal fall. He awesomely ended it in a grand finale of animal imagery. The book of the revelation is full of animals being used for His purposes. He ended the old covenant using all the animal creations in all their realms. Apocalypse means revelation. He opened His people’s eyes to their new humanity.

He reversed naked Adam’s eye opening decent into animal death. Jesus ascended to heaven in the fully clothed and incorruptible human body. He wasn’t raptured as a naked animal leaving His human clothing behind. The whole reason Jesus was born was to cover naked and ignorant Adam in human clothing. Jesus only died naked on the tree because the ignorant sons of Adam forcefully disrobed Him and nailed Him there. And Jesus wasn’t wearing rags either. The law-keepers contended for who would get to keep His human clothing.

To the Hebrew law, the nakedness of the mother and the nakedness of the father were one and the same. In Leviticus it says, “Do not uncover the nakedness of your mother because it is the nakedness of your father.” We were all born with somewhat immature parents, even if they were in-dwelt by the full-image-bearing Holy Spirit. Children actually become a new phase of growing up for their parents, even though they are the ones typically clothing us. 

Maybe that’s why God Himself did not take on a human body and then take a Jewish wife in order to to give us His only begotten son, like the less than fully-human fallen-angels had done prior to the flood judgement. Because Yahweh has no nakedness to be covered or uncovered. He is of course the fully-realized image of God by definition. He has no potential or typical animal image to tame or to keep covered, like the lesser gods did.

God sent His Holy Spirit to plant the promised seed of His only begotten image bearer into the womb of a promised woman in the typical promised land. He wanted the image He had breathed into Adam to finally grow up to full maturity without falling for any animal gods. The Holy Spirit planted the seed of the eschaton Adam in a soon-to-be-married bride. 

God wanted His old covenant types and promises to reach their fulfillment before they came to a dead end. Otherwise it would all just be pointlessly cursed to destruction without a redemptive resolution. So God sent His Son from heaven to Earth to make it happen, in the last days of the barely revived old covenant land.

The seed of the earthly body of Yeshua was planted spiritually in a betrothed under human-law virgin, in order to raise God’s only begotten Son to full realization. Humanity finally grew up and fully ruled a Jewish body. AKA thee eschaton Adam. 

Eschatology is the branch of the humanities that studies the last days of the old covenant. Jesus was raised in the last days of the partially revived land of types. The full image of Yahweh humanly grew to stand up in the fully clothed body of Christ. He was the eschatological Adam in the Jewish body God prepared for Him to rule.

First Adam did not use humanity to rule his earthly body. He died at 930 years old still, symbolically at least, still clothed in the animal skin he fell into. Original Adam was not fully woke when he fell into that animal skin, but unlike Eve he was not deceived. He knew enough not to fall. He fell for his own animal desire to follow Eve rather than His human desire to follow Yahweh.

Sometime after Adam fell Yahweh promised His humanity to the 12 tribes in the wilderness. He promised to make them into a great nation by giving them His image. “Let us make Adam in our image”, was applied to the nation of Israel. But before Moses could even come down the mountain with their distinctively human national soul, written, as it were in stone, they uncovered their nakedness and began to worship a forgery. They produced their image of a golden four legged animal. 

Maybe that dumb animal image was from the land they were taken from. Just like both Adam and Eve, the 12 tribes fell for an animal creation. But this animal couldn’t even talk. It was a mute beast of their own making. 

Even today frozen embryos are being shipped to Jerusalem in hopes of forming the perfect image of a four legged animal. After it meets the approval of someone’s eyes, they want to sacrifice that perfect heifer, in order to reinstate the old covenant animal mode they originally fell into. And oddly enough it’s a perfect female they want to sacrifice. 

The Hebrews were not only the shepherds of four legged animals but they themselves had become beasts of burden while in Egypt. So the Hebrews got back in bed with their own animal creation, even before Moses came down the mountain with Yahweh’s first human proposal. They naturally desired to return to the image from the land they were taken from rather than the image of the land of promise. Yahweh wanted them to become a fully human nation, not another animal focused nation.

It would be a thousand cursed years of fallen into animal sacrifice, in enslavement to the law, before they would again assemble for their fully human betrothal. Pentecost reversed that Mt Sinai animal fall that had taken 3000 Hebrew lives.

On the typical old covenant betrothal day, 3000 Hebrews died and only two from that generation actually lived to enter the promised land. Yet on their regeneration day, which was the betrothal day of the Lord rather than through Moses, 3000 Hebrews received life rather than death, and it was that generation; it was that living body that was guaranteed to make it to the age un-fallen. The day of the Lord had arrived.

The two faithful kingdom witnesses had already been martyred prior to the new betrothal Pentecost, in order to prepare the way for the more spiritual kingdom that had drawn so near. John the Baptizer and Jesus the messiah faithfully testified about the impending kingdom age, for those who had the faith to enter.

On that Pentecost 3000 from the diaspora Hebrew nation entered their Spirit filled betrothal to follow the new covenant Joshua into the never ending promised land. They were the assembly of the firstborn who were being enrolled in the temple in heaven. The Hebrews had no j sound in their alphabet so Yeshua is probably a more accurate rendering of the English name Jesus or Joshua. The Greek name we translate into English as Jesus not only has no j sound at the beginning but has no s at the end. With such an inaccurate transliteration it’s not so easy to see Jesus’ English name as the new covenant fulfillment of old covenant Joshua. 

Rather than sending Moses down the mountain, God sends the Holy Spirit to come down from heaven itself. The Holy Spirit came down to write the law on their stone hearts that Jesus had just broken. It was their betrothal do over. At least the Jews who wept when Jesus was crucified had just had their hearts broken. 

He came to replace their old covenant heart of stone with a new covenant heart of flesh. Jesus sent the Holy Spirit as the better promise. He would even more graciously make them great in their second birth. But this time the indwelling Holy Spirit would take the new creation nation to the promised land while writing the law of Christ on their heart. They would not fall into animal worship before the wedding. Spiritual life was the betrothal gift that sealed the promise to marry up with full humanity. In their second Exodus, the Holy Spirit replaced the broken stone tablets and Jesus took the place of the law giver who pleaded for his people in the first exodus. Jesus said Father forgive give them. The Father arranged it all with His Son, while He was still in the garden. 

Like the nation of Israel, Adam and Eve fell into spiritual death before their marriage was consummated. The nation fell before the betrothal. Then they fell out of the land of opportunity that God had prepared for them. First Adam did not talk it out with God in the garden and then agree to God’s plan to rescue his fallen bride. He just fell with her. So Adam was driven out of God’s garden. He was returned to the land he was taken from and the Spirit of Yahweh returned to heaven. 

It was eschatos Adam who was able to rescue the bride and complete Adam’s fallen age, but first He reversed that day of Adam’s betrothal death, He took Adam’s old covenant place in covenant death and then He betrothed the widowed nation into her new marriage covenant, so they could spiritually stand together, all the way to the marriage. It was the spiritual resolution to Eve’s fall. Original Adam simply followed his own naked skin. Eschatos Adam became fully clothed.

First Adam had failed to stand with the Holy Spirit while in the garden. But the obedient bridegroom became the guarantee that the regenerated bride would stand. The Holy Spirit was sent by the bridegroom to groom the bride for her second marriage covenant to the fully human image bearer. The Lord’s day was at hand.

We translate the phrase’ to the age” as eternal or forever. But reaching thee age of forever could be done in human life or in animal death. Jesus came to bring Adam’s thousand year day to full maturity as the Lord’s thousand year day. 

A new thing was happening in the land for sure. In reverse fashion, the Spirit of Yahweh had visited a betrothed woman to form the body of the finalized Adam. Teleos Adam was unbelievably conceived in an unmarried woman. Originally, the image of God was breathed into an unmarried man and his soul mate came out of him.

Elizabeth’s husband was not so sure about God’s final backward plan to enter the promised land, so he was unable to say anything about it until after the first faithful witness was born. John the baptizer was born to announce the nearness of God’s kingdom and point the Jews to the fulfillment Joshua, whom we have renamed Jesus, but better to be known as Joshua and better yet Yeshua. Even faithful John the baptizer seemed to entertain some doubts after Herod had him arrested for simply telling the truth. Herod fell (animal style) for two women and then Herod had John’s human head cut off for being a faithful witness to old covenant humanity.

Yeshua, the main faithful witness to God’s kingdom plan, was eventually put to an old covenant death too, but his body not only remained in tact but would be preserved from any decay. He was put to death at the hands of the not-so-fully-tamed humans. They were talking like humans but they were bearing false testimony to the kingdom at hand. They even seemed worse than the talking animal in the garden of Eden, because they chose to force an old covenant death on the fully humanized Adam who refused to fall for the talking animals.

Yeshua grew up to become the faithful old covenant Adam and so He inherited all of God’s blessings. As the only spiritually blessed husbandman He chooses to make a widow out His fallen bride. So she too could obtain the same Holy Spirit and inherit all of His blessings. He released her from the animal mode worship of her first fallen betrothal.

But Jesus wasn’t coming back to reverse their second death. God’s redone marriage is permanently redone. He only offered to reverse their first betrothal death. After their second 490 years in the land, animal worship forgiveness ended. Those who claimed they were not widows, but were still in thee old covenant with Adam or Abraham or Moses as their husbandman, went to their second betrothal death along with the evil spirits still corrupting their old humanity.

It wasn’t really a Holy Spirit filled land that anyone was looking for. They wanted the Spirit of Yahweh contained, back in the typical temple, so they could rule militarily again, in animal mode. In the 70th year of the Lord, the typical old covenant ended, militarily, in animal mode.

The first command to original Adam was to procreate. But the human soul was still developing during the betrothal stage of the original woman to the original human. It was only the fully formed human who finally ascended to prepare a permanently Spirit-filled place for His bride to live. His Father sent His breath down to the Jews from heavenly Jerusalem to fully form the human bride of Christ. The Father breathed into the betrothed bride this time, rather than into the groom. Because the Holy Spirit had already rejoined Adam at Jesus’ baptism.

First born Adam is called to leave his mother and father and become a new family unit. But Adam and Eve listened to the father of lies before they consummated their marriage. So they needed to first remove their animal skins in order to procreate humanity in the flesh. They didn’t have children while they were still in the Spirit-filled place the Father had prepared for them to grow up in.

Raising children is a legit eye opener for parents, but maybe God desired to walk with Adam and Eve for a while to cover their ignorant nakedness, before they could give birth to and hope to clothe another naked and naive human. Fact is they didn’t procreate until they were clothed in animal skin. They were not only covered in animal skin they were outside the walls of Eden where their eyes had been opened prematurely by a talking animal invader.

I’m pretty sure that after that fall into animal clothing Adam’s recently opened eyes romanced Eve’s newly enlightened conscience by reminding her of their blessed human future together, if only they would follow God rather than the talking animals. To Eve, Adam himself looked like a talking animal by then, but now in his flesh he wanted to obey Yahweh and know Eve without thee animal skins on. Adam and Eve commenced their fallen mission mode talking each other out of thee animal skins they got talked into.

The earthly location of the divine image was originally in the garden and was first introduced into the person of Adam. Woman then means, “out of Adam”. The human bride came out of the God inspired man.

The nationally proposed to progeny that came from Adam’s fallen seed planted in Eve, typically became known as Israel or the 12 tribes. Being a single Adam was the first recorded thing that Yahweh said was not good. So Adam is provided with a wife in order to end his isolation and procreate his human image, with her help. So the man is instructed to leave his mother and father and cleave to his soul mate. Eve was supposed to be inspired by Adam or the Spirit of God in the garden, in order to prepare her for marriage and propagate their God-given humanity, which wasn’t grown up in either of them yet. 

Isolation wasn’t beneficial for the first human in thee original creation account and is still not good in the new creation. Human culture is what allows for  social rest and personal interaction as we grow up together on this otherwise wild animal planet, whether we are Christians or not. But the image of God is made even more personal and more effective for us who are born again. Like Adam, we too are born from above, but in the new creation God’s personal image lifts us up no matter where we are located. The full breath of humanity lives in us and it is more personal and more effective than it was for original Adam and Eve.

It’s a new covenant world and it’s for the benefit of everyone on the planet. It is more advanced than the isolated humanity of Adam in Eden in the garden or even the isolated humanity of the 12 tribes in the typical Jerusalem, because the same Holy Spirit that moved over the waters of the first creation and then accompanied the whole nation on route to their typical promised land, personally began to accompany each individual during the second Hebrew exodus, on route to their eternal promise. 

The proposal for the more spiritual and never-ending covenant, as promised in Jeremiah 31, was accepted by rather than rejected by 3000 Hebrew people. Those Hebrew’s then spoke some truly inspired words. They didn’t just say, “We accept your proposal and we will do all that you tell us to do.” They immediately began to be what God wanted them to be by spreading the good news in their Spirit-filled missions mode. 

Newborn Christians today are still very evangelistic. It’s the immediate response to the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. They don’t doubt the birth or the rebirth of humanity and they don’t think anyone else should either.

The Holy Spirit was sent from eschatos Adam to Yahweh’s nation on the day of their typical creation celebration. The mostly dead nation of Israel was still in it’s fallen missions mode prior to that Pentecost day. We refer to that missions mode as the diaspora. Before that day only Jesus was able to perform His Jewish mission mode in unison with the Holy Spirit. He only momentarily went into the deep sleep of their old covenant death, so that His fallen bride could be released from Adam’s cursed old covenant side. But He overcame His old covenant death because He was illegally cursed to die.

He Himself had been conceived in a betrothed woman who was promised to an old covenant man named Joseph. Joseph himself at first seemed cursed to a woman fallen in betrothal. Mary was pregnant with the eschaton Adam who was able to turn it all around. He granted thee indwelling Spirit of Yahweh to a recently widowed bride. She is now the faithful mother of all the living ones in the faithful betrothal creation. Even Mary, as the mother of thee only old covenant living One, is presumed to be widowed by her typical husband by the time the Holy Spirit arrives on Pentecost.

Just like Adam who died in his land because he didn’t listen to his creator, so too Israel died in their land because they failed to listen to the creator. It was this spiritually dead diaspora nation that still tried to reassemble itself in the flesh on Pentecost. On Pentecost the immortal human soul sent the new proposal breath of God down from heaven to the Hebrews who had assembled in Jerusalem. They had assembled to celebrate their animal-fall receiving of the law.

Just like the original human, the 12 tribes also entered their missions mode after they fell. It was the expelled Hebrews who had a synagogue in every city pre-evangelizing the Gentiles; in other words preparing the nations to hear the voice of the one true God they themselves had failed to listen to.

Exodus 19 contains the conditions necessary to keep the whole nation of Israel alive in their promised land. Those old covenant land promises seemed all but lost by the time Jesus arrived. Only a small percentage of the Hebrews from a few tribes were living in a portion of the promised land and even they were being ruled by the Roman Empire. And their second 490 year grace period of not keeping sabbaticals was about to run its course. 

Still the 12 tribes had hoped for a better resurrection. One that would bring their entire nation back to life. They wanted a covenant creation do-over for all of Israel, with more ability to rule themselves this time around rather than being ruled by the talking animals. The talking animals represented the less than human covenant creations of the surrounding nations. Yahweh wanted Israel to learn to hear His voice rather than thee animal voices. “Now if you listen to my voice and keep my covenant you will be distinctive to me from all the nations for all the land is mine.”

Yeshua came to give them a rebirth into a covenant that would never die. It would stay alive all the way to the never-ending age represented by a thousand years. The new betrothal would not take a fall before the marriage this time around. This new covenant creation came from the human body of the eschaton Adam. He left His Jewish family in the flesh mode in order to give His life to His bride. She would stand with Him all the way to the age this time. The eschaton Adam was asked by His Father to lay down His spiritually blessed old covenant body of flesh in order to form an eternal body for his bride.

The literal translation of “eternal life” is “life to thee age”. Life to the age means betrothal all the way to marriage; guaranteed. Those who chose to stay in the covenant of perpetual death took that betrothal in death all the way to the thousand year age. They took their national fall all the way to their millennial death, which was the final destruction of the animal flesh mode. Old covenant death is no more. There is no third death and their are no old covenant people to bring it to. And when those who are born from above physically die, they even leave their original flesh body behind. It too returns to the land it was taken from. The children of God all move into their eternal human body. Which is why Paul stood and opposed Peter to his new covenant face. Because Peter had refused to dine with the adopted gentiles when the old covenant hold-outs showed up.

Before Paul was up-generated into the new and living expectation he too sided with thee old covenant body. As an old covenant hold-out, even Paul consented to Stephen’s death. Now Paul was even more steadfast than Peter when it came to standing up to Judaizers. 

Those scattered by the persecution that broke out when Stephen was killed initially preached the word to Jews only. But some born again, new covenant Jews began speaking to the Greeks. When the Gentiles did begin to join the church it brought great joy to the Spirit born Jews. 

Peter, in his first church letter, only addresses the expatriates of the diaspora. I assume this was written before the scattered church adopted any Gentiles. Peter tells the diaspora that they are a chosen nation and they are now being up-generated into a living hope. They are now tenants of a heavenly and incorruptible city, being kept incorruptible in heaven, for them. They were being garrisoned through faith into their saving grace that was ready to be revealed in the last era, through the revelation of Jesus the Christ. Of course their last book of the Bible is called the Revelation of Jesus the Christ. It had yet to be revealed to the seven established churches when Peter wrote to the scattered expatriates. Like the first book of the Bible, the final book has no shortage of animal-human interaction. But the blessed by the Holy Spirit Jews were able to read and comprehend those final apocalyptic words that came from the Father through His Son. Their eyes were opened on Pentecost to see the significance of the transition tree that they nailed their eschaton Adam to. They were the recently scattered expatriates of Jerusalem. The seven churches of Asia were established some time after the church in Jerusalem was driven out.

While God’s son was still in the old covenant and on His way to die on the covenant transition tree, He addresses the daughters of Eve still in Jerusalem. They represented the old covenant motherhood in the land. He is talking to them about their difficult transition into their new and living city of God. It would be the barren women who would be called the blessed ones at that time. Just as Jesus’ mother would have her heart broken, old covenant flesh ties would break many a mother’s hearts in their last old covenant days. Pregnant women especially relied on established family ties, because they were about to deliver another typical old covenant citizen, making it much more difficult for them to forsake the old land of Jerusalem prior to it’s thousand year completion.

Unfortunately, the daughters of firstborn Eve would share the same fate as the sons of firstborn Adam. Yeshua was offering them His life from above before the 70th year of our Lord sealed their doom. Just as His 70 years brought Adam’s 930 years to the completion of his age in life, rather than stuck in his firstborn death, it also corresponded to the fast approaching national completion of one thousand years in the blessed rather than the cursed condition.

The Jews in their firstborn flesh were in fact in their second 490 year countdown and about to realize their second death as a nation. After their first death, seventy years of typical sabbath rest were required before they were allowed to re-enter the promised land. But they were barely able to resurrect themselves as the old creation nation of Yahweh. It’s even doubtful that the Spirit of Yahweh ever re-entered their rebuilt temple. The seventy years supplied by the Lord of the sabbath however would land them in their never-ending and Spirit-filled land. One way or the other, 1000 years was being realized for both Adam and Israel. 

Since a day is as a thousand years to God, the only choice left was to be blessed or to be cursed into the impending age. Choose the day of life or choose the day of death? The day of the Lord was at hand. Choose your judgement. Reign it in, in the life of Eschatos Adam or reign it in, stuck in the day of original Adam. Long delays and do overs were not on the docket for Adam or Israel. 

After Yeshua was born Rachael is again found weeping for her children. Herod had ordered the slaughter of all the infants, because as the king of Israel he was attempting to kill the immature human Body of Christ, in order to protect His deep state regime from the genuine king. In a somewhat backward fulfillment, Jesus’ mother had travelled to Bethlehem, just as Rachel had done. But she doesn’t die giving birth on the way there as Rachael had done. She lives to weep over her Son’s death. Then she even lives to see her Son’s new covenant brethren being killed. And all this was instigated by the typical motherland, in order to save Herod’s money-making temple-worship scheme.

The apostle Paul was most grieved by the behavior of the typical children of God, not out of concern for his own life, but because the birth pains of the messiah would soon come to and end resulting in the final death of the typical mother and her children. Yet the new Jerusalem and her children would all spiritually live, to the age; which we interpret as forever since the age of Christ never ends. 

Taking Adam to the age of 1000 was just the beginning for the procreation of humanity. The people of God are not in a fallen missions mode anymore. Our mission is accompanied by the Holy Spirit. The mother of all the living did not fall and she is now married to Yeshua. Neither is she stood up and stuck in betrothal. It was original Adam who missed his marriage goal. His aim was to live to 1000 in betrothal and then get married and procreate in the eternal human clothing. But he fell into the temporary dead animal clothing.

Jesus was born into an old covenant Jewish family to reverse Adam’s curse and then resurrect him all the way to his millennial fulfillment still standing. Like Adam, He too was born naked and naive. Most likely He was not born in a barn though. First Adam was taken from the wild but last Adam was born on the first floor of an already established human house, in the city of Bethlehem. He was not born in an animal house. He came to the human house of Israel. He was born on the first floor of a relative’s house, since the upper guest room was already occupied by other traveling kinfolk who also came to pay their taxes to Rome. At Pentecost Jesus would send His rebirth to the upper room of the house in Jerusalem. No longer in animal sacrifice mode.

Tamed animals were often brought into the first floor of the human’s house to take shelter for the night, so the first floor often had a feeding trough available. Jesus was symbolically born into their tamed animal feeding trough. Jesus was born to become the spiritual food necessary to get the Jews out of their animal mode. Animals were often tamed by humanity, but never the other way around. Though Animals don’t raise humans, humans sometimes do raise animals. 

Jephthah is a reverse type of Christ. Like Christ, Jephthah was raised in a family of half brothers, but Jephtha was not born of a virgin. He was born of a prostitute and his father was from the land. Like Christ, Jephthah reluctantly agrees to save the nation, but he does it militarily rather than spiritually. Like Christ, the Holy Spirit comes upon him in order to serve the nation, but unlike Christ, Jephtha curses and sacrifices a virgin rather sacrificing his own status to save her.

Jephtha vows with his tongue to sacrifice the first one to great him after he returns from the defeating the enemy and saving the nation. The first one to come out of the first floor of his house to rejoice with him for defeating the enemy is his firstborn. Jephthah had no sons, so she was his only hope of carrying on his new status as the new head of Israel. Yet his only hope of passing on his new political prestige is now dedicated to the Lord to have no children in the flesh. 

The first one to to come out of the house of Israel to rejoice with Yeshua after He saves the nation from their worst enemy, which was spiritual death, is the church. The first century assembly of the firstborn was considered the virgin bride of Christ. She became the living sacrifice dedicated to the Lord. The church was the firstborn virgin who came out of the first floor of the house of Israel after Jesus victoriously did battle with their demons. But He sacrificed Himself to eliminate the curse the church of Jerusalem deserved. Eternal life was the inheritance of Christ granted to His people. His people were the upper room temple in Jerusalem.

Jesus even grew up to save His own mother. He was the first born son that was born from a dedicated to the Lord virgin. Yeshua was the impossible son of the lost inheritance that Jephtha’s daughter typified. Yeshua then became the first person to come out of the first floor of the house of Israel. He took her place as a burnt offering to Yahweh. His burnt offering was taken to the second floor temple in heaven. Jesus mother Mary was not a prostitute but Mary Magdalene who was the first individual to see him after He defeated death was a spiritual prostitute and His mother land was too. She had seven demons living in her body before Jesus cleansed her.

Jesus is the Holy Spirit conceived Son of a virgin (SOV not SOB) who did pass His eternal inheritance to the second floor virgin who had had already been spiritually cleansed. She came out of the first floor animal sacrifice mode of typical Jerusalem. After being reborn from above she too gave up her old covenant life for a Holy Spirit marriage. The cursed to die firstborn became a living sacrifice. The curse of the firstborn became the blessing of eternal life in the new covenant. How could I possibly make this stuff up?

Jesus’ half brother Jacob recognized the Hebrews’ ability to tame all types of animals to their human nature, even though they were still unable to tame their own tongue. They were blessing God with their loose tongues while still cursing the very progeny meant to carry on His image. The Jewish tongue was finally tamed to a more human code of conduct only after the Holy Spirit was sent to them on Pentecost. The born again nation immediately began using their tongues to tell others the good news. They even spoke to the foreign speaking Hebrews who had adopted gentile languages.

Biblically, tamed animals can symbolize the pre-evangelized Gentiles. Gentiles were giving up their pagan animal natures and were taking on the more human nature of the Jews. The diaspora Jews had been doing a excellent job of teaching the humanity of Moses to the Gentile nations, for hundreds of years. Yet Jesus angrily cleansed the outer court of the Jewish temple, because that outer court was supposed to be reserved for the Gentiles. The Jews in the land had allowed the world outreach of His Father’s house to be taken over by the sacrificial animals in their money-making scheme. 

Only Jesus was able to grow up to full adult Hebrew form under old covenant laws. He was the first and only Jew able to take on the complete image as offered to the nation of Israel, with no untamed animal mixture, not even a forked tongue. He came to rescue the Jews from their untamed animal flesh; namely the tongue of the serpent.

Yeshua’s fully realized old covenant humanity is confirmed at His baptism when the Holy Spirit returns to eschatos Adam gentle as a dove, to walk with Him, as the completely upright and fully clothed Adam. And then He sacrifices His fully blessed old covenant life in order to resurrect that life for His Jewish relatives in their new and better covenant. 

Remember, Adam and Eve didn’t consummate their marriage and have children prior to their satanic corruption. But Jesus as the unmitigated human who didn’t fall for Satan couldn’t find a suitable old covenant wife, even among all the old covenant Jewish women. He was the only Holy Spirit united Jew in the land, other than His own mother for His own conception. Jesus was the only Hebrew with the full image of God in Him. But because of the original Adam fall, He also went into a deep sleep, to reform the bride. The reformation bride came from the eschaton Adam’s side.

Adam’s Satan inspired curse is reversed by the indwelling of the Spirit of holiness that Yeshua sent to Adam’s widow. Yeshua became the resurrected husband for her no fall betrothal. Eschatos Adam was finally able to ensoul Eve with a fully matured humanity. But only Jesus could remain standing for an old covenant marriage, so he died in good standing with Yahweh, to legally end it for her. One of them had to die to legally end her betrothal gone bad. At the end of the new betrothal period, the blessed groom married the blessed bride.

The widowed old covenant nation was set free to enter their new covenant, as pictured by the law man who stabbed Jesus with a spear. Because the law didn’t kill Jesus. He was already dead. The law released the bride from his now cursed side while he was in a deep sleep on that very good and very evil tree. He was resurrected as the second firstborn Human into a new creation where He was able to ensoul His never-to-fall assembly.

For this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel, after those days, I will put my law within them. I will be writing My law in their heart and they will be my people and I will be their God. The living bride of Christ had to come from the side of the fully formed Adam. But He couldn’t just marry a Jewish daughter of Eve from thee old covenant. His better creation is no longer in the fallen flesh mode and does not need to be perpetually covered with animal sacrifices. Only Yeshua could fully stand and overcome the animal mode.

First Adam followed his flesh to know what she knew, which opened his eyes to his own nakedness as he lost his spiritual walk with God in the garden. Last Adam gave up His spiritually blessed flesh to bring His eye opening knowledge to His bride, which had turned into a nation in the flesh mode. His realization of good and evil was able to make His people more like God, without killing them.

Jesus confirms His full humanity at the last supper with His disciples. They were not only to eat the meat of the last Passover sacrifice but the blood too. The life of the body is in the blood, so they were never to incorporate the breath or soul of an animal into their human body by drinking it’s blood. But, the last Passover Lamb had no untamed animal in His soul. 

Vampire stories are simply metaphorical caricatures to try to make fun of the old covenant Jews who did follow their messiah. They are being mocked by depicting them as being infected with an eternal animal nature. And they got infected by literally drinking human blood. Yet the messiah was the only human without wild animal in His blood. He alone was able to completely reign in them. The hold-outs had the animal infiltrated bloodline that made them hate the light. It’s only Jesus as the new covenant head who is eternally human with no animal mix. Animals are not eternal. Humans are.

And He doesn’t need to drink our blood to live like vampires do. It’s the old covenant hold-outs who tried to carry out a zombie apocalypse, where the eternally dead ones tried to kill or convert all the living ones. It’s the old Jews who wanted to keep living in the perpetual death of the original animal corrupted Adam. Problem was their thousand year reign was about to end. Love you for a thousand years, but then the animal has to go.

The Trinity’s re-genesis of old covenant humanity isn’t pictured by breathing into original Adam’s nose again, as if to resuscitate him. The second person of the Trinity uses all of His bodily senses to fully stand in His Father’s world, by listening to His Father rather than the talking animals. He said the original talking animal was the father of the unfaithful Pharisees. He bypasses Adam’s fall into that animal death. He doesn’t join with the typical politicians. The old covenant law that Jesus stood in is the God breathed, not the animal breathed, knowledge of good and evil. 

Jesus didn’t fall for the talking animal traps. Yet knowing good and evil without the indwelling Holy Spirit did kill everybody else. Only last Adam could knowingly stand, fully clothed under old covenant animal mode. His Father-attended baptism is also a Holy Spirit reunion for the teleos Adam, which is pictured gentle as a descending dove. That is a good and fully tamed animal metaphor by the way.

The nation however is greeted with a different animal image altogether. The Holy Spirit lands upon the 12 tribes as a mighty rushing wind and as divided tongues of fire. Forked tongues on fire relate to the only thing the humans were unable to tame under fallen Adam mode; their tongues. Jacob even compares their untamed tongue to the serpent’s tongue; full of death bringing poison. I know it’s really the fangs that carry the venom, but Adam was killed by the serpent’s forked tongue. Maybe it was the serpent’s forked tongue that allowed him to sink his teeth into humanity. And now the old covenant Jews were being accused of incorporating the death bearing serpent’s tongue themselves. They used it at the mock law-trial to kill their own messiah. Only with the Holy Spirit would the Jews be able to tame their tongues and escape their second old covenant death, which ended their animal killing flesh mode.

Escaping the old covenant death is in trinitarian agreement. Just as Jesus was the first and only old covenant Jew to overcome all the temptations of Adam, as confirmed by the Trinitarian confluence at His baptism, so Stephen was fully blessed by the trinity as the second new covenant Jew to escape the old covenant destiny. Stephen saw the Son standing with the Father as he was being put to death while in full fellowship with the Holy Spirit. Heaven finally opened for people because of Yeshua’s new covenant humanity. 

Jesus’ old covenant death on the cross was not so trinitarianly blessed. Like old covenant Jacob, old covenant Jesus was wide awake and fully engaged as He wrestled through the night with Yahweh. He wanted, if possible, to be blessed without all the spiritual suffering. Jesus agonizes in the garden as the teleos Adam who never fell. Now he is being called to accomplish even more. He is being asked to take the fall. He has already suffered in the wilderness and managed to avoid original Adam’s fall. Now if He obeys His Father and takes Adam’s fall upon Himself, He can reverse the nation’s fall and rescue them from their imminent destruction. That would be His hard earned joy.

His people are being represented by His closest companions who are nearby yet sound asleep in the garden, while He, being fully woke, reluctantly chooses to sacrifice Himself as their final Passover lamb. Yeshua chooses to die to defeat the imminent second death of God’s already once dead nation. He could then send His full breath of humanity from heaven so Yahweh’s firstborn nation could rise from their long sleepy night and escape the death of their first betrothal to Yahweh by way of Moses.

First century Jerusalem was spiritually speaking being called Sodom and Egypt. Like Egypt, the leaders in Jerusalem were taking advantage of God’s people and turning them into cattle. This was to be their second exodus. This time they were being enslaved by the so called law keepers of their own land. The same old covenant law that empowered Jesus to unite with the Holy Spirit only retained spiritual death for everyone else. 

Just as Adam was spiritually blessed as long as he didn’t partake of the one tree, the Jews were blessed if they didn’t work on the sabbath. Sabbath rest was meant to teach them to trust in Yahweh’s voice more than their own animal temptations. The animal in them wanted to return to the perpetual works mode of Egypt. Not setting aside the sabbaticals showed lack of faith in Yahweh’s provision. They had turned themselves into perpetual beasts of burden again; workaholics. The seventh day became a cursed day as the legalistic hypocrites worked the hardest on that day at being the accusers of the brethren.

The typical Jerusalem betrothed at Mount Sinai, only managed to enslave themselves to a continual works mode, with no ability to find rest. They were caught worshipping that beast of burden even before Moses made it down the mountain. Yet, Yahweh very graciously allowed them to miss 490 years of sabbaticals before ending their occupation of the typical promised land.

Then after their second 490 years of not obeying their sabbath laws, they were again driven out of God’s land by yet another foreign army. But this time they were given an option. This time they could choose to complete the age in a new and still living betrothal.

In celebration of the typical law-giving at Mount Sinai, Pentecost was always 50 days after their first offering in the wilderness. As the Passover lamb, Jesus took the curse of the firstborn death. Both Adam and Israel fell into betrothal death prior to marriage. First century Jerusalem represented a return to that land of slavery. Without God’s help they were all doomed to die there. He came to set His people free from the typical Jerusalem now spiritually called Egypt. His personal sacrifice redeemed His people from the fallen into beast-worship curse. They were only temporarily kept covered by continually sacrificing their beasts.

And sure enough, Galatians 2 calls natural born Jerusalem the land of slavery that would not let God’s people go. Jerusalem born from above is called the free woman. She is the real motherland of all the living. The old covenant Hebrews, also known as the 12 tribes, had come to the heavenly city of the living God, which according to the letter written to the Hebrews was the Jerusalem being birthed from above. That’s why we call it the book of Hebrews. It’s written to the 12 tribes transitioning into the new covenant.

Jesus came to insure the redemptive consumption of both Israel as Yahweh’s firstborn nation and Adam as God’s firstborn individual. They were being called to leave the sacrificial beast mode of worship, not fall further only to meet their second death worshiping the image of the beast again. They were to completely sacrifice animal style worship all together. 

Adam was the first to be cursed to die. The thousand year consummation of Adam’s curse was only delayed to keep it from becoming permanent, by not allowing him to live to the age; better known to us as forever. Eternal life and eternal death weren’t delayed forever though. 

Jesus grew up in Adam’s future world of already knowing good and evil through Israel’s revealed by God knowledge, and He became the only Human able to take us into the age in the full image of His Father. He was the only Adam able to stand up and still face Yahweh full of the knowledge of good and evil, even as revealed revealed under the fallen law mode. The knowledge of good and evil didn’t kill Him. He became the human who was able to master the Sabbath. He was able to end His sixth day work and find rest for the human soul. Jesus completed the work that laid the foundation for the new creation.

Satan was telling a half truth when he told Adam that the knowledge of good and evil would make him more like God. Why did more knowledge of right and wrong make Adam less able to rule with Yahweh in his world, yet knowing good and evil enabled Jesus to stand upright and rule with His Father in an already fallen human world? Because Jesus knowledge came from the mouth of His Father. He didn’t fall for the mouth of Satan. 

After Jesus grew up under law and overcame the tempter, He proceeded to cleanse His Father’s old covenant dwelling place on earth. He cleansed both the typical temple, occupied by the false images of greedy religious leaders, and He cleansed the animal images from the now demon infested people themselves. The demons were making it personal. The indwelling of the demon spirits personally overruled their humanity and caused some extreme animal behavior.

Mary Magdalene was the representative Eve that Jesus rescued from the sevenfold captivity of the fallen-angel progeny known as demons. After Jesus is resurrected from the place of the dead ones, He first appears to the Mary, whom He had spiritually rescued. 

First Adam didn’t rescue the original animal influenced woman. He joined her. But humanity had evolved since then into a nation. So people from all 12 tribes of humanity would gather on Pentecost to become the new covenant bride, to be formed by the breath of eschatos Adam. The new Jerusalem is the breathed-in mother of all the living ones today. The church is the fulfillment Eve. The church is the bride of Christ. She made it all the way to the marriage without falling for the beast.

Yahweh’s full human image first stood in Yeshua, who then sent the Holy Spirit to His Hebrew people, which like Yeshua’s immaculate conception, was also a spiritual conception. This was only after fulfillment Adam was put to old covenant death and resurrected as the new covenant human. After 40 days in His new creation body, He ascended to heaven to become the glorified human body. Then after 10 days of heavenly glory with His Father, He sent the Holy Spirit to His people in Jerusalem. That adds up to 50 days from First Fruits. Pentecost means 50. And this all happened after His 3 1/2 year Holy Spirit ministry to the old covenant Jews who were now enabled by the Holy Spirit to join Him in His creative work.

Yeshua sent the Holy Spirit to occupy the Jews themselves, rather than send the Holy Spirit to reoccupy the old covenant temple. Pentecost was their spiritual betrothal corresponding typically to Mount Sinai. At Mount Sinai God’s people received the law written on stone. That was 40 years prior to marrying up with their typical promised land. Fulfillment Pentecost was when the law began to be written on their stone hearts, so they could stand to enter Yahweh’s spiritual land of marriage. 

With the Holy Spirit indwelling them, the followers of the messiah could do the same work as He had done in Jerusalem, for probably another 3 1/2 years. Whatever it was that triggered the old covenant holdouts to rid the land of their made-new Holy Spirit occupation, it was a bad idea. They wanted the Holy Spirit back in the inner room of Herod’s temple where God’s presence belonged, to the old covenant land-marriage-mind anyway. But something different was happening in the typical land of Jerusalem and they were now being called to leave their old occupation. They were being called to personally unite with the Spirit of Yahweh whom Adam once personally walked with in the garden.

Jesus portrayed full-Adam-mode when He breathed on His Jewish disciples and told them to receive the image bearing Holy Spirit. He was acting just like His Father who had breathed His image into preliminary Adam at the start of humanity. Some felt threatened by final Adam’s breath and they blamed their new covenant anxiety on the people who were not threatened by that breath. Like Yeshua, his Jewish followers wanted nothing more than salvation for their people. Yet most Jews went backward rather than forward. 

Their closed mindedness to the indwelling image of God would leave them wide open to the sevenfold return of the now intractable indwelling of thee evil spirits. Seven represents completion or fulfillment of covenant. The stubborn ones refused to live in their newly sevened humanity. Rather than join the sabbath rest of betrothal in order to prepare for the sabbath rest of marriage, they kept spitting in the wind trying to save the 6th day animal-covered perpetual-works-mode of the typical temple worship. 

Yeshua told them that blasphemy of the Holy Spirit would be their unforgivable sin because it meant they inwardly refused the image of the God they supposedly represented under law. They rejected Yahweh’s breath from the eschatos Adam. They lost their gift of salvation that came from their fully matured human soul. 

Peter and John were two of the finite number of first century Jews, who did receive their Holy Spirit salvation, which was the new breath sent to them from their glorified humanity. Peter and John were carrying on the transition work Jesus had inaugurated. About to enter the temple, they meet a lame beggar and they heal him. Peter then sees that the Jewish people are amazed and praising God, so he turns to address the gathering crowd. He tells them that they had inadvertently put to death thee inaugurator of life Himself, but that God has raised him from their death. And he tells them that they killed Yeshua in their ignorance, even though Moses had already addressed their forefathers about Him. Moses had told them that when Jesus arrived they should listen to Him. So, Peter tells them to now repent of what they’ve done unknowingly and receive the eternal life sent to them from heaven itself. And that those who choose to remain ignorant would have their souls exterminated from among God’s people. 

That’s a pretty clear distinction between being blessed or being cursed; blessed to eternal life or cursed to destruction were the only two choices Peter offered to his fellow Jews. Keep in mind, this is during their transition from their old covenant to their new covenant. And he said it right at the door of their second temple. 

That temple would inevitably see it’s destruction in order to make way for the new covenant dwelling place of God, which is of course His people; no longer covered in thee animal skin of the typical temple. About 5000 additional Jews entered their promised new covenant that day, but many who blindly liked the old covenant better were merely triggered. Jerusalem became a ghost town after the Jewish temples of the Holy Spirit were driven from the land.

Have you ever dreamed of a world where everyone is free to do whatever they want and nobody ever gets hurt or humiliated? Everybody is happy in this imaginary place and nobody ever gets triggered because nobody’s ever even had their feelings hurt. Yet so many times when leaders promise to give us this illusive utopian society, it somehow devolves into hell on earth instead. So how do we return to paradise? Whose way really leads back to Eden? 

We do have this idea that a blessed utopia exists somewhere or at least used to. Ironically though, the word utopia actually means nowhere. The author who introduced that word into our vocabulary must have had a real sense of humor. But at least we know it exists in our imagination and it seems like the first pages and the last pages of the Bible also attest to such a place. Can we really return to a place on Earth called Eden or has the new covenant, City Of God, developed into a more advanced, more heavenly place? And was Eden ever really a harmless place on earth?

Was Satan himself blessed before the cursing he received at the fall of Adam? Or did a depraved and then corrupted angel fall even further for successfully corrupting Adam and Eve? Depravity isn’t evil. We are all born naked and depraved, but we are not born evil. Did Satan once stand in the full image of Yahweh like Yeshua does? If so why did Satan fall and Jesus didn’t? 

Jesus had a will and He had emotions and He was tempted directly by a more evil, more evolved adversary, thousands of years after the fall of Adam, under much worse circumstances than Adam. And He was offered much more than just a piece of fruit that promised to produce a new awareness. Jesus was offered a fast track to kingdom authority, without all the suffering that He was sent to endure. Yet He withstood all the temptations to sacrifice His future glory for an immediate reprieve. 

Adam was threatened by conscious isolation after Eve’s eyes were opened and his weren’t. She knew more. She saw more. Though Jesus’ eyes were already open, He was also faced with isolation in His temptation. He was back with just the wild animals, like Adam was before Eve was formed from His side. Jesus had no bride. He alone was driven back into the wilderness to be tempted in the wild land where Adam was first taken from. 

The image of God was fully formed in eschatos Adam in the only slightly restored promised land before He was driven out to face these temptations. He was now starving to death and looking forward to a future of more suffering and more isolation than anyone has ever faced before. 

He was not tempted in paradise and His mind wasn’t unaware either. He was wide awake in the full image of His Father. Even on the cross He would turn down the alcoholic anesthetic that was offered to Him that could have somewhat blurred the awareness of His present pain. It was only after passing the test, in the depraved of humanity desert, that He began His in-land ministry. Then after a few short years He would actually die a horrible death, under false accusations by His own people, while physically suffering and in spiritual isolation. 

Sounds like a worse death than the original Adam endured for failing to pass his test. What happened to all the old covenant blessings promised given by Moses for obeying God in the land? Everything seems to be going backward for Jesus, yet in a culminating and chiastic sort of way. Because Jesus obeyed and then He knowingly chose to be cursed into the death He came to overcome.

When first Adam disobeyed, he was graciously covered in the thick skin of an animal. He now needed it to face the depraved wilderness in the awareness of his still depraved condition. Adam, who was the first human intended to carry God’s image, appeared to still be part animal himself, after his premature fall into awareness. He wasn’t human enough yet to pass the animal temptation. His eyes were opened to his naked depravity by Satan’s talking-animal image.

Jesus was born under the God given law of good and evil in the old covenant promised land, so he grew up with the knowledge of right and wrong spoken to Him by humans. His fully formed humanity was taught to Him by His family and by His culturally educated society. The talking dragon would have to tempt fulfillment Adam with something other than the premature knowledge of good and evil. He would offer Jesus other immediate satisfactions to try to get Him to join the fallen animal-like government.

Satan was spiritually ruling the kingdom at that time and other bad spirits had also invaded the land in and around Jerusalem. Yet, the first century old covenant land was soon to became even more infested with the evil spirits. After the religious leaders reject their promised redeemer and the Holy Spirit He sent to them on their Pentecostal celebration, their typical animal covered house would be left dangerously empty. 

They had ignorantly sacrificed the completely innocent and fully realized human. Like Cain killed Able, they killed Yeshua, simply because Yahweh approved of His humanity and because the crowds approved of Him. 3 1/2 years after they killed Yeshua they also killed Stephen, who then became the first new-covenant-human martyr. And then these religious leaders proceeded to drive out the whole Jewish church. 

The original church in Jerusalem was made up of their own relatives. Ridding the land of their new covenant relatives left a spiritual vacancy in Jerusalem, because the so called religious leaders who drove out the church were not God’s holy people. Jesus said their father was the devil. They spoke God’s words but they were not fully human. That empty shell of incomplete humanity looked pretty good to the demons. Leftover humanity was a spiritually void body ready to be re-inhabited. Old covenant humanity was about to devolve into a full blown animal house. Noah’s flood was only the typical corruption culmination that led to destruction. The spiritual corruption of old covenant humanity was now culminating for it’s final annihilation.

The church in Jerusalem was made up of the truly human Jews who were all indwelt by the same Holy Spirit that Jesus had ministered with. After that Holy Spirit filled body of Christ was driven out of Jerusalem, the city was left with an empty people to go with their empty temple. The old house of Yahweh was left wide open to the return of the unholy animal-image spirits. Jesus had warned them in a parable about a person who had a demon cast out and then upon returning to the man, the demon found the whole house swept and unoccupied. Seeing the vacancy sign on, that demon finds seven more spirits that are even more evil and they also go and dwell there. The unbelieving Jews traded their Holy Spirit salvation for a satanic occupation.

So it wasn’t exactly a harmless paradise without the presence of Satan that Jesus was born into either. Yet, He didn’t fall for Satan like first Adam did and He came out of His temptations to rule with Yahweh in the full and upright image as the eschaton Adam. He came out of His temptation with strength to reign in His complete humanity, with no untamed animal mixture. He not only overcame thee original talking animal in the wilderness, He then returned to the land to drive out other evil spirits. He ruled over the satanic spirits who were still marrying up with the human bodies. 

It was right after the wilderness temptation with the wild animals that Jesus started His own public ministry of healing and cleansing humans, with His Father’s blessing and in conjunction with the Holy Spirit. He earned those powerful blessings under the law by fully standing in His Father’s image and by not falling for Satan’s premature animal offers. 

Original Adam fell and died without eternal life granted to him. He missed the mark of eternal life and so went to Hades to wait rather than go to heaven and live eternally. Adam lived in a grace filled garden because he was freely given plenty of trees to eat from including the tree of life and only one tree not to eat from. Even after the fall, he wasn’t destroyed or consigned to waiting eternally in Hades. He was simply confined to waiting for his savior to come and do what he had failed to do. 

Adam didn’t reign in the life. He reigned in the death, which was represented by the dead animal he wore till his time on earth was up. Romans 5:21 says, ‘The missing or the sin (referring to Adam’s fall) reigned in the death.’ It does not say reigned unto death like many translators render it. Adam was already in the death. He could no longer stay in the life of the garden and live forever. 

His biological life on earth outside the garden expired when he was 930 years old. And he was still wearing a dead animal. He died covered in the death he had brought upon himself. Since one adamic day is as a thousand years to God, God patiently waited till the coming of His fulfillment Son, because He didn’t want original humanity to perish.

That’s the good news. Just as through the disobedience of that one human that constituted the many as missers, so through the obedience of the One shall many be being constituted righteous. That means God’s covenant people are no longer condemned to miss the goal like Adam did. 

After Adam fell, all humans ruled in the death. Even the Hebrews were being covered by dead animals after forming Yahweh’s new nation. No human would reign in the life that Adam lost, until thee eschaton Adam arrived to remove the dead animals that were still covering the Jews. He granted them the human covering instead. He took away their perpetual reminder of the animal death, ongoing since Adam listened to his bride who listened to the talking animal rather than to her human husband. Maybe she didn’t listen because Adam wasn’t a mature human yet. He was ignorantly running around naked prior to their fall into that awareness. But the new covenant bride couldn’t use that excuse.

So what about so called triggers today. Would avoiding all memory triggers of past wrongs really make us stronger and move us closer to a harmless utopia on earth? Or would it make things worse? If ignoring the conversation makes things better, then I shouldn’t be talking about these historical blessings and cursings on humanity, and what caused them and how to get them or how to overcome them. We should just plug our ears, especially when the most matured humans speak. Maybe we should listen to the animals who promise immediate gratification without all the suffering. But can suffering really be avoided or is it just delayed and even made worse? 

The martyrs of the final book of the new covenant Revelation were in heaven already and they were still asking for relief from their past injuries. They wanted retribution. Not by going back to Eden to avoid all pain or forget that it ever happened. They were actually already in heaven and they were waiting for the God of justice to do something about what just happened to them on earth. How could that be? And then the heavenly answer, when they present their petition, “How much longer do we have to wait?” was, “Justice is about to take place, as soon as some more martyrs join you.” 

What’s going on here? Why pray for justice on your murderers after you die and go to heaven and why were they told to leave their personal vendettas to God’s timing and what was God waiting for? Worse yet, why did He allow the injustices to keep on happening to their fellow Jews? What in heaven and on Earth was going on? Why didn’t God just give his people what they asked for, right away? Especially appropriate things like justice. Yet in the transition from old to new, heaven was waiting – for more martyrs. Talk about memory triggers; what about the martyrs watching from heaven as their born again Jewish brethren continued to get martyred?

Moses surely didn’t avoid the memory triggers either. Right before Israel crossed the Jordan into the typical promised land, Moses reminded the nation of their two biggest downfalls. One, was the report given by the scouts sent to spy out the promised land. It was why almost everyone was entering the promised land without their parents they had left Egypt with. Because 10 of the 12 spies said, ‘we can’t do it’. ‘We can’t enter the promised land’. ‘The people there are too tall and they have better weapons and they even have more courage’. 

What the scouts saw was way too much animal flesh in their way. Even today leaders tend to be the tallest among us. As if we are going to actually fight each other to the death in the office. We still seem to be naturally ruled by the animal mode rather than by the belief mode. We should actually be led by the most competent leader with the best or strongest soul rather than the one with the largest body of flesh. We should follow the most competent one with the most human beliefs. 

In numbers 13, the scouts report their findings, “And there we saw men of great height and there we saw the Nephilim.” Only Joshua and Caleb would live to see the day they crossed the Jordan. Because only they believed that Yahweh would help them defeat these giants who were still occupying the land. Moses even tells us that these sons of Anak who lived in the promised land came from the Nephilim. The length of Og’s bed and the height of Goliath were both over 9 feet. 

Today a six foot tall person earns our respect just for being born to be a few inches taller than average. Imagine a few feet taller. Tallness tells us little or nothing about character though. Shouldn’t true stature be measured by human ability rather than with a literal tape measure? God didn’t promise to make the tallest people great. He promised to make the nation with the best beliefs able stand up right and rule in His image. The spiritual always trumped the flesh and blood mode even during old covenant days.

The other downfall Moses isn’t afraid to bring up, happened while Moses was up on the mountain top receiving the law that would give them the creed they would need to become successful in all they do. But they got tired of waiting for their human code of conduct. So while Moses was on the mountain top they formed a four legged animal image to worship. Apparently when Moses walked down the mountain he caught them acting like four legged animals rather than the humanity prescribed on the stone tablets he was carrying. This caused even more delays as Moses threw the tablets of stone in anger and had to go back up the mountain to plead with Yahweh not to kill them all. Satan wasn’t blamed for their animal worship and hence animal behavior. The people simply got impatient and lost faith in their God-given promises from their human leader, who was nowhere to be seen. They chose to join themselves to an animal image they could see, like the other nations. Even immature Adam innately knew not to marry up with the animals.

Then again, the fall of Adam was instigated by a creature who is pictured as an animal. It was Satan’s non-human appearance that opened Adam’s eyes to his own depravity. Adam falls with Eve and is cursed out of Eden with a God-imposed animal appearance of his own. Animal sacrifice was only a temporary covering over humanity though, reminding them that they had joined with the animal rather than rule over it. They would be enslaved to that fallen animal skin until Eschatos Adam, wearing a cursed king’s crown, obediently puts naked Adam to death on the tree, reversing the animal curses on old covenant humanity.

The personal presence of God is re-gifted to humanity by the obedient and self-sacrificing  Adam. He would enter their human skin to remove their animal sacrifice in favor of human clothing. The new covenant is no longer in the flesh mode of the depraved animal skin. We of all the animals stand most nakedly exposed and vulnerable to the world in our natural born flesh, yet we are uniquely called to be reborn and stand up with our creator and rule with Him covered in His image; not in an animal image like the untamed nations did. Even old covenant Moses could not stand face to face with God and live.

Jesus probably still wore leather sandals on his feet as He walked on the old dirt land, but the rest of His clothing was already advancing. Yeshua’s robe and inner garments were woven by more modern methods than simply the wearing of animal skins, even though they were still being symbolically covered every day by perpetual animal sacrifices. 

The second death of old covenant Jerusalem didn’t begin until 70 years after eschatos Adam was born. Evidently fulfillment Adam reigned in eternal life in order to fulfill original Adam’s missed millennium, before ending the old cursed covenant. Adam was removed from the garden so he couldn’t live to the thousand year age in his cursed condition. Because Adam couldn’t save himself gain eternal life. He was stuck in a death that was lawfully permanent, so his final judgement was graciously delayed. The age-long curse on Adam was cut short by 70 years to delay it’s permanent culmination. 

The flood of Noah’s day was a type of the end-of-an-age culmination judgement on the corrupted progeny of Adam. It was also preceded by 70 years of preparation in order to save the six believers from physical death. But Noah didn’t find spiritual salvation on the ark. Like when the apostle Paul said,”unless you remain on the boat you cannot be saved.” Paul was talking about saving animal life not spiritual life. Noah didn’t get spiritual salvation until the 70th year of our Lord, after the new covenant 70 years of preparation.

Banned from the typical tree of life Adam would have gone to eternal destruction if allowed to biologically live to the age still cursed by his spiritual death. Adam needed more than saved from drowning. He needed God’s Spirit to breath in him permanently. Original Adam needed the eschaton Adam to permanently reunite him with God’s Holy Spirit in the new and better covenant with even more abundant grace. In the new covenant, God’s people are granted eternal life by the Son of Adam who did reign in the life to complete Adam’s millennium spiritually. Original Adam could only reign in the death. That would have been a cursed thousand year reign. 

The first time the Jews were kicked out of their land like Adam was, for disobeying Yahweh like Adam did, was for neglecting 490 years of sabbaticals. Every 49th year the jubilee sabbatical recounted the first sabbath year in the land. Just like the eight sabbath days count to Pentecost, equals 50 days, the eight sabbath years count to Jubilee equals 50 years. They faced their second temple destruction in the year 70 because they again neglected ten jubilees. That makes 20 neglected jubilees which adds up to1000 cursed years. 

Jesus came to prepare a place for His people before their 1000 cursed years reached final judgement. After the second 490 cursed years there would be no more old covenant forgiveness. That’s why Jesus told Peter to forgive his brethren 490 times. Because time, times and half a time in Daniel means years. 

Even the first typical city built by Cain reigned in the death. Cain’s son vowed the vengeance of 70 times 7 deaths on anyone who killed him. Cain managed to create the first mafia style family image. Jesus came to offer life rather than death to His second 490 year forbearance. Even on the cross He said, Father forgive them they don’t know what they are doing. That’s not the way of Lamech who said if a person kills me, kill 490 of his relatives.

As the Lord of the Sabbath, Yeshua came to reverse the second Jewish death and grant them their final jubilee instead, which they had failed to reach under law. But those who rejected His sabbath gift did not reverse their curse of death. Just like their first national death was for missing 500 years of sabbaticals, their second death was not only for missing the second 500 years of sabbaticals, but for refusing the final sabbath rest offered by the Lord of the Sabbath. He was their rich relative willing to pay their debts in full.

Adam was prevented from living to the thousand year sabbath in his cursed condition. But the old covenant holdouts were not. They went to their second death, which was the end of the old covenant. All the land worldwide was set free to be cultivated by thee original owner in the fulfillment of the final Jewish jubilee. As a born-again human, you are in the blessed new covenant family of God where Yeshuah reigns in life. Whatever mix of human curses and blessings you psychologically inherited from your typical parents, Yahweh sent His Holy Spirit to open your eyes to the gloriously clothed condition of Your new covenant family. Satan tempted Eve to open her eyes prematurely because he wanted to keep her ignorant of the blessed old covenant fulfillment. The fall brought them shame and rejection and clothed them in ignorant animals. The reversal Adam removed their animal covered shame. 

The head of the human family still grants His Holy Spirit presence to depraved humanity today. Because that is the only kind of people there are until you join the new covenant. His good conscience then begins to bring to maturity our adolescent self awareness without killing us. We attain to the unashamed psyche or soul of Christ which is the indwelling image of God. That is the peace that passes understanding. It is the escape from the 6th day works mode into His sabbath rest. We can truly reign with Him in His fully human kingdom.

The reversal of the flesh mode curse is spiritual. It was inaugurated on Pentecost when the Jews were born again to join the resurrected body of Christ. Jesus was indeed resurrected back into His literal body of flesh, but he was not in the old covenant flesh mode anymore: of flesh washings, flesh dietary laws, flesh sacrifices, flesh location, flesh genealogies, etc. The word became flesh to redeem the animal corrupted word bearers of Yahweh and end the cursed flesh mode covenant between God and man. Animal husbandry doesn’t need to breed a perfect animal in order rebirth the old covenant.
