The Covenant Creation Transition was not out of Nothing

Colossians 1:15

CLV¹⁵ Who is the Image of the invisible God, Firstborn of every creature,

The focus of Genesis is the creation of humanity. Animal life was subject to humanity by God’s design. All creation was supposed to be and was being tamed by humanity, especially in humanity’s final old covenant diaspora centuries. The Hebrews were expelled into international missions mode to prepare the way for the new creation humanity. In the new creation, the firstborn of every creature is Christ. Christ is not firstborn of just humans like Adam was. That first covenant went away. There is only one created body in the new creation. Either that or Christ was already firstborn of every creation in the old covenant too. But Adam is called first born son of the human body in the old creation, not Christ. Jesus is firstborn of every humanized creation in the new covenant.

If you are not born from above by the Holy Spirit, then you are not God’s people in the new covenant creation. Peter’s sheet vision represented the spiritual birth of all nationalities coming down from above. The new humanity was originally made up of the 12 tribes. Cornelius then became the first international individual to spiritually join the Hebrew body. Jesus was given a body 70 years before the end of that old Hebrew age, in order to resurrect His human body to this new age of humanity. The last became first over all. He took all his chosen ones from every race into the 1000 year age of humanity, alive. Both the national millennium and the Adamic millennium aged out into the resurrection of the body or into the destruction of the body.

The resurrected human body of Christ came to include all nationalities or every creation. The firstborn of the new covenant is the begotten image of God grown up under law. The image of the invisible God became completely fulfilled in eschaton Adam, who was put to death as Adam before being resurrected to be firstborn of all. The eschatos Adam became the first ‘Christian’ in the ongoing resurrection of humanity. If the mature Adam was resurrected out of their death and into a new creation, of which He is head, then which humanity has sway on the earth today? The one put to second death in AD 70, typically destroyed by the 4th typical animal kingdom or the spiritually resurrected humanity who will never die a second death? Or maybe the four animal kingdoms still rule the humans in diaspora. Even when the 4 animal kingdoms of Daniel did rule over God’s people, God’s people were busily humanizing them behind the political scenes. Hebrew missionaries throughout the Roman Empire, prepared the Gentiles to join their eternal human body. Humans are still authorized to rule in God’s image. The new creation body disregards biological ancestry and physical location, but the great commission is still the same; to teach true humanity to all people.

The Oxford English Dictionary defines eschatology as- “the part of theology concerned with death, judgment, and the final destiny of the soul and of humankind“. The mortal human soul of the first-creation Adam, died dead. The immortal human soul of Christ resurrected, still lives. Adam lost his self determined potential for eternal life. But for the grace of God, he became worse off than a mere mortal. If God did not intervene, Adam was bound to complete his age spiritually dead and face judgement. After the new covenant telos of the 1000 year age came, then came the second death, to those not in the first resurrection of humanity by the Holy Spirit.

Genesis 1:26-27

CLV ²⁶ And saying is the Elohim, “Make will We humanity in Our image, and according to Our likeness, and sway shall they over the fish of the sea, and over the flyer of the heavens, and over the beast, and over all land life, and over every moving animal moving on the land. ²⁷And creating is the Elohim humanity in His image. In the image of the Elohim He creates it. Male and female He creates them.

John 14:8-10 – Jesus became the old covenant eschaton Adam. He was God-imaged indeed in the flesh.

YLT ⁸ Philip saith to him, `Sir, shew to us the Father, and it is enough for us;’ <sup>9</sup> Jesus saith to him, `So long time am I with you, and thou hast not known me, Philip? he who hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how dost thou say, Shew to us the Father? ¹⁰ Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me? the sayings that I speak to you, from myself I speak not, and the Father who is abiding in me, Himself doth the works;

THE APOCALYPSE OF THE MYSTERY OF THE ECCLESIA 
For this cause I Paulos the prisoner of Yah Shua Messiah for you goyim, ² if indeed you heard of the administration of the charism of Elohim given me regarding you: ³ how that by apocalypse he had me know the mystery; exactly as I pre-inscribed in few words, ⁴ whereto, when you read, you can comprehend my comprehension in the mystery of the Messiah; ⁵ which in other generations was not known to the sons of humanity, as it is now unveiled to his holy apostles and prophets in Spirit; ⁶ that the goyim be co-heirs and co-bodied and co-partakers of his pre-evangelism in the Messiah through the evangelism:

The Jews did not know that the Gentiles were becoming part of their resurrection body, until it started to happen.

The first Gentile person to enter the living Jewish body, by way of the Holy Spirit, rather than by way of circumcision, was Cornelius. He was already a respected man who revered the God of the Jews. Peter even calls him a fellow human. Human had come to mean those who act human as well as those who were circumcised. Cornelius was a product of the diaspora humanity, even though he was not a typical Jew. If Cornelius had been a circumcised proselyte then Peter would not have called him an unclean Gentile. Three times a voice from heaven told Peter to bring all creation into his new covenant body. Peter’s first response is, “no never”. Imagine if the first non-circumcised Christian to be baptized by the Jews was a not-so-righteous human, like some of the previously unclean ones in Corinth. The Jews may have been even more reluctant to start baptizing uncircumcised Gentiles that didn’t have a good reputation already. Peter called Cornelius a fellow human, by diaspora-human-standards. In their new covenant, God’s people learned to accept all nations non-typically. No circumcision or holy day keeping was required to be clean. “Cleansing” became essentially a spiritual action on Pentecost. Tongues of fire from heaven cleansed their human body of the untamed and venomous serpent tongue.

1 Corinthians 6:9-11

CLV ⁹ Or are you not aware that the unjust shall not be enjoying the allotment of God’s kingdom? Be not deceived. Neither paramours, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor catamites, nor sodomites, ¹⁰ nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards; no revilers, no extortioners shall be enjoying the allotment of God’s kingdom.” ¹¹ And some of you were these, but you are bathed off, but you are hallowed, but you were justified in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and by the spirit of our God.”

Acts 10

THE VISION OF CORNELIUS 
But there is a man in Kaisaria named Cornelius – a centurion of the squad called Italian; ² well revered, and one who awes Elohim with all his house; who does many mercies to the people; and petitions to Elohim continually. ³ About the ninth hour of the day he sees manifest in a vision an angel of Elohim entering to him, and saying to him, Cornelius! ⁴ And he stares at him, and becomes awestricken, and says, What is it, Adonay? And he says to him, Your prayers and your mercies ascend to a memorial in the sight of Elohim: ⁵ and now send men to Yapho, and summon Shimon who is called Petros: ⁶ he lodges with one Shimon a tanner whose house is by the sea side: he speaks to you what you must do. ⁷ And the angel who speaks to Cornelius departs: and he calls two of his housekeepers, and a well-revered warrior of those who wait on him; ⁸ and he declares all these to them and apostolizes them to Yapho. 

All nations are new creations coming down from above. Cornelius becomes part of spiritually cleansed humanity. The head of humanity is now Christ, who’s eyes were opened under law without a fall.

THE VISION OF PETROS 

10:9 On the morrow, as they journey and approach the city, Petros ascends on the housetop to pray at about the sixth hour; } ¹⁰ and he becomes intensely famished and wills to taste: but as they prepare, an ecstasis falls on him; } ¹¹ and he observes the heavens open; and a vessel descends on him as a mega linen bound at the four beginnings, and lowers to the earth: } ¹² wherein are all quadrepeds of the earth and beasts and creepers and flyers of the heavens: ¹³ and so be it, a voice to him, Rise, Petros! Sacrifice, and eat! ¹⁴ But Petros says, No way, Adonay; for I never ever ate aught profane or impure. ¹⁵ And a second voice to him, What Elohim purifies, you profane not! ¹⁶ And this becomes thrice: and the vessel is taken again into the heavens. ¹⁷ And as Petros is thoroughly perplexed in himself whatever this vision he sees, be, behold, the men apostolized from Cornelius thoroughly interrogate for the house of Shimon, and stand by the gate, ¹⁸ and call, and ask whether Shimon called Petros, lodges there. ¹⁹ But as Petros ponders about the vision; the Spirit says to him, Behold, three men seek you! ²⁰ But rise and descend and go with them – doubting naught: because I apostolized them. ²¹ And Petros descends to the men apostolized to him from Cornelius; and says, Behold, I am whom you seek: for what cause you are present? ²² And they say, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one who awes Elohim, and well-witnessed by all the goyim of the Yah Hudiym, was oracled by a holy angel to summon you to his house, and to hear rhema of you. ²³ So he invites them, and lodges them: and on the morrow Petros goes with them, and some brothers from Yapho come with him: ²⁴ and on the morrow after, they enter Kaisaria. And Cornelius awaits them, and he calls together his kinsmen and dependant friends: ²⁵ and as Petros enters, Cornelius meets him, and falls at his feet, and worships him. ²⁶ And Petros raises him, wording, Rise! I myself also am a human! ²⁷ And as he converses with him, he enters, and finds many come together: ²⁸ and he says to them, You understand how that it is illicit for a man – a Yah Hudiy to join or come to one of another scion; and Elohim showed me that I not word any human profane or impure: ²⁹ so I come unquestioningly as soon as summoned: So I ask, for what word summon you me? ³⁰ And Cornelius says, I fasted four days until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and behold, a man standing in my sight in radiant apparel, ³¹ and says, Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your mercies are remembered in the sight of Elohim: ³² so send to Yapho, and call Shimon called Petros; he lodges in the house of Shimon a tanner by the sea side: who, when he comes, speaks to you. ³³ So immediately I sent to you; and you do well in coming. So now we are all here present in the sight of Elohim, to hear all those Elohim commanded you. ³⁴
THE FOURTH MESSAGE OF PETROS 
And Petros opens his mouth, and says, Of a truth I overtake that Elohim is not partial: ³⁵ but in every goyim, whoever awes him and works justness is acceptable with him. ³⁶ The word Elohim apostolized to the sons of Yisra El, evangelizing shalom through Yah Shua Messiah: – he is Adonay of all: ³⁷ that rhema, you know, became throughout all Yah Hudah, beginning from Galiyl, as to the baptism Yahn preached: ³⁸ how Elohim anointed Yah Shua the Nazarene with the Holy Spirit and with dynamis: who passed through working well, and healing all who were overpowered by Diabolos – for Elohim was with him. ³⁹ And we are witnesses of all he did both in the region of the Yah Hudiym and in Yeru Shalem; whom they took out and hanged on a staff: ⁴⁰ whom Elohim raised the third day and gave him to become manifest ⁴¹ – not to all the people, but to witnesses preselected by Elohim – to us who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead: ⁴² and he evangelized us to preach to the people, and to witness that it is he who is decreed of Elohim to be the Judge of living and dead: ⁴³ to whom all the prophets witness, that through his name whoever trusts in him takes forgiveness of sins. HOLY SPIRIT POURED ON THE GOYIM ⁴⁴ While Petros still speaks these rhema, the Holy Spirit falls on all who hear the word: ⁴⁵ and they of the circumcision who trust are astounded – as many as come with Petros, because the gratuity of the Holy Spirit is also poured on the goyim: ⁴⁶for they hear them speak with tongues, and magnify Elohim. Then Petros answers, ⁴⁷ Can anyone forbid water, that these not be baptized, who took the Holy Spirit exactly as well as we? ⁴⁸ – and he commands them to be baptized in the name of Adonay. Then they ask him to abide some days.

Colossians 2:8

ECB ⁸ See to it lest anyone seduce you through philosophy and vain delusion – after the tradition of humanity, – after the elements of the cosmos and not after Messiah.

Jews were in every nation and Hebrews were teaching Moses in every city. The diaspora (through-seeding) was thorough. People from every nation were being humanized.

Acts 2:5

CLV⁵ Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem, Jews, pious men from every nation under heaven.”

Acts 15:21

LITV ²¹ For in every city from ancient generations Moses has those proclaiming him, having been read in the synagogues on every sabbath.

Colossians 1:12-29

The 4 animal kingdoms of Daniel became humanized by the diaspora Hebrews in order to pre-evangelize the animal nations for the good news of the immortal human kingdom

CLV ¹² at the same time giving thanks to the Father, Who makes you competent for a part of the allotment of the saints, in light, ¹³ Who rescues us out of the jurisdiction of Darkness, and transports us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, ¹⁴ in Whom we are having deliverance, the pardon of sins, ¹⁵ Who is the Image of the invisible God, Firstborn of every creature, ¹⁶ for in Him is all created, that in the heavens and that on the earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones, or lordships, or sovereignties, or authorities, all is created through Him and for Him, ¹⁷ and He is before all, and all has its cohesion in Him.” ¹⁸ And He is the Head of the body, the ecclesia, Who is Sovereign, Firstborn from among the dead, that in all He may be becoming first, ¹⁹ for in Him the entire complement delights to dwell,²⁰ and through Him to reconcile all to Him (making peace through the blood of His cross), through Him, whether those on the earth or those in the heavens.” ²¹ And you, being once estranged and enemies in comprehension, by wicked acts, yet now He reconciles” ²² by His body of flesh, through His death, to present you holy and flawless and unimpeachable in His sight, ²³ since surely you are persisting in the faith, grounded and settled and are not being removed from the expectation of the evangel which you hear which is being heralded in the entire creation which is under heaven of which I, Paul, became the dispenser.” ²⁴ I am now rejoicing in my sufferings for you, and am filling up in my flesh, in His stead, the deficiencies of the afflictions of Christ, for His body, which is the ecclesia” ²⁵ of which I became a dispenser, in accord with the administration of God, which is granted to me for you, to complete the word of God -” ²⁶ the secret which has been concealed from the eons and from the generations, yet now was made manifest to His saints, ²⁷ to whom God wills to make known what are the glorious riches of this secret among the nations, which is: Christ among you, the expectation of glory” ²⁸ Whom we are announcing, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we should be presenting every man mature in Chist Jesus;” ²⁹ for which I am toiling also, struggling in accord with His operation, which is operating in me with power.”

4 Animal Kingdoms Prophesied by Daniel:

1. The Babylonian Empire
2. The Medo-Persian Empire
3. The Greek Empire 
4. The Roman Empire 

The kingdom of God is also called the kingdom of heaven since it rules from heaven. It is the fifth kingdom of Daniel that stands to the age (of 1000).

Daniel 2:40-45

YLT ⁴⁰ And the fourth kingdom is strong as iron, because that iron is breaking small, and making feeble, all things, even as iron that is breaking all these, it beateth small and breaketh. ⁴¹ As to that which thou hast seen: the feet and toes, part of them potter’s clay, and part of them iron, the kingdom is divided: and some of the standing of the iron is to be in it, because that thou hast seen the iron mixed with miry clay. ⁴² As to the toes of the feet, part of them iron, and part of them clay: some part of the kingdom is strong, and some part of it is brittle. ⁴³ Because thou hast seen iron mixed with miry clay, they are mixing themselves with the seed of men: and they are not adhering one with another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. ⁴⁴ `And in the days of these kings raise up doth the God of the heavens a kingdom that is not destroyed—to the age, and its kingdom to another people is not left: it beateth small and endeth all these kingdoms, and it standeth to the age. ⁴⁵ Because that thou hast seen that out of the mountain cut hath been a stone without hands, and it hath beaten small the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king that which is to be after this; and the dream is true, and its interpretation stedfast. 

John 3:5-6

YLT ⁵ Jesus answered, `Verily, verily, I say to thee, If any one may not be born of water, and the Spirit, he is not able to enter into the reign of God; ⁶ that which hath been born of the flesh is flesh, and that which hath been born of the Spirit is spirit.

John 3:15-16

YLT ¹⁵ that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during, ¹⁶ for God did so love the world, that His Son—the only begotten—He gave, that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during.

Ephesians 1:17-23

CLV ¹⁷ that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may be giving you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the realization of Him, ¹⁸ the eyes of your heart having been enlightened, for you to perceive what is the expectation of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of the enjoyment of His allotment among the saints, ¹⁹ and what the transcendent greatness of His power for us who are believing, in accord with the operation of the might of His strength, ²⁰ which is operative in the Christ, rousing Him from among the dead and seating Him at His right hand among the celestials, ²¹ up over every sovereignty and authority and power and lordship, and every name that is named, not only in this eon, but also in that which is impending:” ²² and subjects all under His feet, and gives Him, as Head over all, to the ecclesia” ²³ which is His body, the complement of the One completing the all in all.”

Nobody dies and goes on hold in this new creation age. The only creation that continues to exist now is the new one. Even Jesus could only die and go to Hades while in the old covenant age. He took the place of the firstborn Adam in His death. But Hades couldn’t hold Him. He was resurrected to complete the age alive. He would have to fall like Adam to die as the firstborn in this new creation age. That can’t be and the old creation aged out in AD 70. 1 Corinthians was written before that second death occurred. The old was going away and the new was taking it’s place, wrote someone to the Hebrews in diaspora.

1 Corinthians 15:22-26

LITV ²² for as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.²³ But each in his own order: Christ, the firstfruit, afterward those of Christ at His coming. ²⁴ Then is the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God, even the Father, when He makes to cease all rule and all authority and power. ²⁵ for it is right for Him to reign until He puts all the enemies under His feet; Psa. 110:1 ²⁶ the last enemy made to cease is death.

Death is still an enemy to be conquered if it still sends us to be held by the gates of Hades.

Hebrews 8:13 – to Hebrews in diaspora

LITV ¹³ In the saying, New, He has made the first old. And the thing having been made old and growing aged is near disappearing.
