FEATURES OF THE SERPENT - WHAT WERE THEY BEFORE THE FALL?
Gen. 3:1 shows the characteristics of the serpent - not one resembles a snake. He walked upright, could talk - do you think him to be such an ugly, homely thing? Why, his very looks would have drove her from him. No doubt there even was a physical attraction about the creature, which at this particular time, caused her to be more susceptible to yield to his tactics. Between Gen. 3:1 to Gen. 3:14 we are shown a serpent who could talk vocally, stand upright, carry on a conversation, and could even do such a diabolical scheming thing. Here is his position only between Gen. 3:1-14.
SERPENT CURSED BEYOND RECOGNITION
This serpent was the first thing within the whole animal kingdom to be cursed. Gen. 3:14 “And the Lord God said unto the Serpent, because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above eery beast of the field.” Once he stood at the head of all animal creation. Adam was over it all. “Thou art CURSED ABOVE ALL” - (Meaning), God took him from this head position within the animal kingdom and DESTROYED HIS PHYSICAL IDENTITY, taking him from the front and placing him on the tail end. What a let down, what a curse, what a position to lose and go from! GOD DIDN’T DESTROY HIS EXISTENCE AS THE SERPENT, HE DESTROYED HIS EXISTENCE AS TO HIS ORIGINAL POSITION! Is that understood? “Cursed above all cattle and above all beasts of the field, UPON THY BELLY.” Before he wasn’t crawling on his belly, not licking the dust of the earth. Before he wasn’t brought to such a state of humility and shame and cursedness. No, but God’s curse NOW is - you are going to go upon your belly. Taken from the headship rank of the animal kingdom and placed upon the tail - end. “Cursed above every beast of the field, and upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life.”
IS EVERY SNAKE A SERPENT?
Beloved, GOD IS NOT SPEAKING TO A SNAKE. Do you know where He placed that cursed serpent? He placed him out there with the reptile family. For out there in the reptile family already was the copperhead, the rattlesnake, out there was already the python, the cobra, the boa constrictor, the king snake and all the other snakes. Yes sir, they were already out there. To prove that every snake isn’t a serpent, though mankind in his ignorance and desire to find that serpent - to try and identify which one is he, MAN HAS CALLED THE ENTIRE REPTILE FAMILY SERPENTS. Go to your dictionaries, and learn a surprise. There are certain serpent creatures that do stand out in certain countries, in certain languages as more profound, but as the whole world over the snake has been given the name serpent. Do you know why? Because God placed the serpent out there among them and man lost his knowledge of which one he was. And there isn’t a person today who knows which one he is.
EVOLUTION UNSCRIPTURAL
Now to prove my point that evolution is nothing but a trick of the devil to throw man off course. One day my daughter, Naomi, was discussing her school books, how it was taught that the elephant is supposed to have evolved off the hog. It’s strange today none of these hogs are changing their snouts to trunks. It’s also very strange, brothers and sisters, that these creatures which they say our present animal kingdom of elephants sprang from are still here and only pigs are their offspring! No elephants are springing from the hog and haven’t for the past 6000 years. It’s all a dirty lie, true, certain species man has crossed. The horse has been crossed with the donkey and produced the mule but that is as far as you can stretch the reproductive law, it goes to show God stopped his law there. It can be stretched no further.
WITH WHICH FAMILY WAS THE SERPENT PLACED?
God cursed the serpent and placed him WITH the reptile (the snake) family and MAN CALLS THE WHOLE THING THE SERPENT FAMILY. Neighbor, they are far from all being of the same breed. Take a cobra, boa constrictor, rattlesnake, a python; place them in the same cage and see if they will ever CROSS ONE WITH ANOTHER! They will not! Some of them are reproduced from the female laying eggs, while others bear offspring just as the other animals. See, that would throw the scientists off course right there. That cursed serpent is out there somewhere. God never intended for you and I to know which one it was, but he’s out there. God cursed him from the head of animal kingdom unto his position there, and the Lord said, “And dust shall be thy meat,” God wasn’t saying you’re going to eat dirt - his physical existence was not derived from eating dirt. It meant he is going to crawl SO LOW he isn’t ever going to be able to get his head out of the dust. Once in a while he’s going to have to lick it. Watch a snake. How low he crawls. He crawls so low that his head is in the dirt all the time. And the only time he gets that head out of the dirt is when he raises up or coils up.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, EAT DUST?
Eating dust didn’t necessarily mean the serpent was literally to eat dirt. Reptiles do not eat dirt! It means crawling in the dust he would be forced to collect his food of buts and worms which now become his diet. Furthermore, because of his present headship position what a humiliating thing for him to be stripped now of arms, legs and even his original physical form, to be forced to crawl along in the dust with the other creeping reptiles hardly able to get his head above the dust where he receives his bugs and insects. To say as a creeping reptile he had to go around licking dirt all the time, NO! Oh, what a curse God placed upon him. Many people say I just cannot see that. Just remember every reptile on this earth is not the serpent, he was placed in the reptile family after his curse, yet somewhere in that reptile family is the original serpent.
SERPENT’S MATE
God so destroyed that serpent’s true identity only Adam and Eve driven from the garden that day actually knew which one truly was the serpent. As the human race populated over this earth, the recognition of which one was that serpent faded out until humanity began calling the entire reptile family the serpent. Not so! The question asked many times did the serpent have a female creature. If so what happened to her? Since God’s instruction was, ever seed bear after its kind, (Gen. 1:25) in order to reproduce another serpent he had to have a mate. God sent her out with him. Prove that! It’s not written in so many words, however we can give you scriptural illustrations of two definite occasions where the Eternal cursed the female companion along with the Male, Joshua 7:22-25, Numbers 16:12-35. “So was it with this serpent creature and his counterpart by which was to reproduce himself.” When God cursed that male creature serpent his other half went with him.
GOD HUMILIATES SERPENT
Brother, when something has been cursed and damned until it reaches the place it must lick the dust of the earth IT IS REALLY BEING HUMILIATED. That is the serpent for you. That is where God placed him for his part of the transgression, but remember it was in his perfect original form he had previously yielded himself to the devil and from that physical relationship committed, poor Eve helplessly conceived. She then immediately presents this eating of the fruit to Adam, her husband, out of perfect divine order. The effects or benefits of the Tree of Life now had no effect for her, but was solely introduced as a fruit from off THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE OF PLEASURE ALONE. Adam submits and partakes of the fruit. EVE IN THAT SEASON OF LIFE IMMEDIATELY RECEIVED A DUAL CONCEPTION from the two acts in the garden of Eden. God moves on the scene and immediately issued the death penalty physically for the breaking of the divine law, but had God killed both he would have destroyed his only means whereby to have a family of children. He again would be forbid to create another son and daughter so what did God do? He makes an atonement by slaying a lamb TO COVER THEIR NAKEDNESS, but no longer could he allow them to live in the Paradise state of the garden any longer.
MISSING LINK NOW IN CREATION
With the curse of this intelligent being now completed, automatically this curse caused a gap to be left between Adam and the rest of that animal kingdom, does it not? One link science has continually searched for. We now leave the serpent as God severely deals with him, stripping him of arms, legs, voice, and headship position and places him on the tail end of the animal kingdom. He who had walked upright shall now be forced to crawl the remainder of his days.
Before God sent him away he was informed of something further that would happen - and I will put enmity (or a difference) between thee and the woman. No doubt walking out of that garden that day Eve knew where that creature was and beloved I believe there was a hatred in her heart for him when ever she saw him. Even though she had watched him in his cursed form, there was a difference, I HATE YOU!
SERPENT SEED TO HATE WOMAN’S SEED - GEN. 3:15 - 4:8
Notice not only would the enmity lie between the serpent and the woman but between somebody else, who? Between two seeds! Between thy seed and her seed! We’re now dealing with the offspring of the two involved here. Seed that will later be born. At present they were only two conceived seed. Eve carried them both! Don’t be so foolish to believe that these two seed were seed of some plant life, otherwise when God spoke to Abraham saying in thee and thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed. You would probably think he was speaking of Abraham’s vineyard, and not referring to Abraham’s offspring. Right? In thee and thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blest. THAT was Abraham’s offspring wasn’t it? Notice 4 persons who God said he would put enmity between (1) thee and the (2) woman that’s personal and between (3) thy seed and (4) her seed, and he shall bruise thy head and thou shalt bruise his heel spoke concerning the two great conflicts that was going to rise down through time.
The Lord says that he places enmity between the serpent and the woman and between his seed and her seed. (Note: enmity being placed just between the woman and the serpent over what was done) stating it (seed of woman) shall bruise thy head and thou (seed of serpent) shalt bruise his heel. Everyone readily accepts the seed of the woman to be fulfilled in the literal Christ born of woman but who is the seed of the serpent? Recall, this seed or offspring spoken of is the seed planted before his curse had ever been pronounced and shall retain his physical likeness as to what it was before the curse, not afterward! How can people say one of these seeds are spiritual and the other natural - not so - both seed spoken of here are natural seeds or offsprings
Note, before the fall he had no resemblance nor blood line of a reptile although Adam named him the serpent and since he and his companion were cursed and placed in the reptile family, it has now given the appearance in the minds of people that the reptile family was the serpent, hence we see the word serpent has been attached to the entire reptile family. It was not so in the beginning! However, he receiving his food from the dust means as he crawls through the dust it will be there he will receive his food - he who once stood walking at the headship of the animal kingdom. Verse 15 states, “I will put enmity between thee and the woman” meaning a difference and that difference was well expressed between their two seeds in a malicious, hateful manner which extended between Cain and righteous Abel or as God expressed it in this verse - “between thy seed and her seed!” Seed. I am sure everyone is aware from the Old Testament writings, is the offspring of man. Did not God instruct Israel he would multiply the fruit of their loins meaning their seed? Observe closely, I will put enmity between thy seed and the woman’s seed - between his offspring and Eve’s offspring. Recall, the woman’s name is Eve which means the mother of all living. The serpent truly had an offspring and Eve shall be the mother of it. That is why once you examine the genealogy of Cain he is no where found connected with the genealogy of Adam. I repeat, nowhere in the genealogy of Adam is Cain the older child found (1st John 3:12)! In no way possible will the scripture link that older child into the descendent route to Christ! The route of Christ is traced back to Seth the seed that Eve declared God had appointed unto her to take Abel’s place who Cain slew. The genealogy jumps Cain who many people think was Adam’s first born and every time goes unto Adam who was the son of God (Luke 3:38).
BRUISING THE HEAD OF THE SERPENT - WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
The seeds mentioned in Gen. 3:15 are precisely two separate offspring. Naturally the woman’s seed would be her legal child by her husband, Adam. That seed can be traced directly into Christ who was born of woman, bruised the head, the life too works of all the serpent did - where? At Calvary! Naturally the work of Calvary takes in the terrible lick Satan himself received as he through the serpent was able to bring death into the race and in that sense Satan is spoken of in this particular verse, however it was actually the works of the serpent deceiving Eve and defiling her that brought that fall as he introduced to her the fruit or knowledge from the tree of good and evil or the other law which would result in death once the sexual act was accepted on some other basis than that ordained route God himself had chosen to bring himself another son or daughter into the world. It was said the woman’s seed shall bruise thy head and thou (serpent seed) shall bruise his heel. However seeing how Cain killed Abel, how could this be tied in? The language is pictorial, and is picturing a man in the process of killing a serpent by striking him extremely hard with the heel. Hard enough to place an injury or blow against the serpent causing death and naturally in order to stomp the serpent hard enough you are going to bruise the heel. Yet why did God say it (woman’s seed) shall bruise thy head? The blow must be administered to the head because if you hit a serpent any place else in the body it would not constitute death. Cut his tail off and he would go on; cut a hole in his side and he would only wiggle until eventually the place would heal. All this reveals his heart or life does not exist within his body because you must strike him where the center of his life lies and that is in his head! Note there was only one seed who could bruise the serpent’s head! (Meaning destroy his works) It was at Calvary this work was accomplished, for as that perfect Son, born also from the womb of woman, born from the law of tree of eternal life wherein the tree put forth one righteous branch, and that branch, a perfect obedient son gave that righteous eternal life in order to redeem all sinful mankind who would come to God through him allowing that engrafted word of eternal life to be grafted into that old sinful flesh of mankind wherein upon the resurrection or rapture will destroy all evidence and trace of the work of the serpent within the life of sinful mankind (John 10:10 - 1st John 3:8) who became a true believer in Christ. Note to hit the serpent on the head in this manner doesn’t necessarily constitute instant death yet the blow that was struck does constitute the fact that s the day was coming to a close you have the assurance the life of that serpent will not be living the next day! The blow and injury on the head will bring death by sunset yet the bruising of the heel, which was none other than the effects of Christ being killed or crucified at Calvary shows the heel will recover! Therefore the healing or recovery of the heel of the seed of woman was in the resurrection of Christ. That righteous branch off the tree of life. Hence we can see the entire effect or death blow against the seed of the serpent (and all his works) transmitted in the atonement work at Calvary. Sure, the bruise of his heel was also death however three days later he was healed! Yet that blow, delivered against the old serpent the day Jesus hung on the cross dealt him such a mighty wound, though he wiggles and twists until sundown (or end of the age) when the new day arises he will not be around!
WHY CHRIST WAS THAT PERFECT SEED
In fulfillment of this verse Christ was that perfect seed of woman that could never be fathered through the Adamic race after the fall. When this righteous seed off the tree of life, born only for a divine purpose into this world, submitted to Calvary look what happened - victory over death was gained! Note - Death as usual claimed his victim as it had every seed of man that came from the tree of knowledge however, death now had hold of a different man - this man, who had become sin for us had come from the tree of life or the perfect law of life in a route all children would have come had any been born before the fall. Once death conquered his victim at Calvary, Christ in this process had wounded the devil by the same act.
WOMAN’S CURSE
Having finished cursing the serpent who now takes his position on the tail end of the animal kingdom (yet fully aware his seed God spoke of will not be on any tail end of the animal kingdom when born) God turns to the woman who still at this point carries no name and curses her reproductive organs, saying I will greatly multiply thy sorrows. How is this cursed sorrow going to fall into relationship of affecting the woman? Notice I will multiply thy sorrows and thy conception. (Remember he had previously spoken of two seed) that law of life was upon her during her two relations under the tree of knowledge and now she had two conceived seed - one was of her husband. Consulting your doctor or any medical book dealing with the word conception you will find it means the ability to conceive seed for the purpose of bearing offspring, therefore proving Eve’s body was physically designed to bear offspring. Even during that original act she was designed to bear offspring for the creator, if not she could have had relationship without conception, for conception is by no means a relationship. There must always be a relationship before conception. Conception can only be when that law of life is in motion - though relationship could be anytime, see the difference? Many woman have relationships who are unable to conceive. Notice here God is saying I will multiply thy sorrow - this word sorrow when broken down means all kinds of physical emotional tensions which goes on within a female body once she comes into that time of life where these periods start taking place and she is required to cleanse herself with her own blood. Recall we’re dealing with a story showing why there came a Savior to bring eternal life and who refused to come the route of a sex act by choosing virgin birth instead. Here God said I’m going to add (note she did not originally have these things) all kind of physical heartache, frustration, nervousness and tensions of every sort because of this. Recall, it all deals with that time of life. And thy conception - meaning that time of life which sets up in a woman’s body where once relationship is carried on there can be conception and later birth. However without that period which is guided by a law the Creator Himself placed within her body there can be relationship but there’ll never be conception. Now since the curse these conception periods were speeded up. Before that curse was ever placed in woman’s body she never was affected with those periods every 28 days. Woman is the only female creature on earth faced with periods like that. Proving it’s the result of the curse! I’ve studied the genetic lines of cattle and etc. A cow for instance, those periods hit only at a certain time of year, (not each month) after that - they cease. The same is true in the horse family, and throughout the animal kingdom. They stop because they are only for that purpose of reproduction. So within that original law of eternal life this law or reproduction in the feminine body would have acted only at a certain specific time which was guided by the Creator who would have brought the two together in relationship. That’s the Creator’s perfect way of bringing forth another son or daughter into the world with eternal life. However now to get eternal life to His children He had to route the Word made flesh, through a virgin to redeem them under the law and give them eternal life all because that first couple used the relationship for pleasure only (producing and breeding death) - God now curses the woman’s reproductive organs saying I’m going to add these sorrows unto you for a curse (every 28 days they will start). I will greatly multiply your conception, in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children. (Gen. 3:16) )in sorrow because you chose the act strictly for pleasure) under the wrong tree (law) and this is the benefits with the tree.
GOD CURSES WOMAN’S REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS
Isn’t it strange when God cursed the woman for doing this, notice WHAT DID HE CURSE? Not her hair, not her fingers, nor did he curse her toes, but He placed a curse upon her WHOLE ENTIRE REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS WITHIN HER BODY. Why did He do this? Why didn’t God curse something about her head instead of cursing only her reproductive organs in her body? Because of your desire to use the act strictly for pleasure, in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children. However had the act been carried out in the proper way (as God intended) it would have been just as simple and joyful for a woman to bear a child as for a peach tree to bear a peach.
Let us examine conception working back under the perfect law of life before the fall. Had they never eaten of the Tree of Knowledge - received that knowledge that it could be used solely for pleasure outside of God’s purpose behind it. Maybe once a year, we do not know, how often her conception was planned by God. They never lived in the garden that long before God was forced to drive them out and the curse began before the perfect law could go into effect.
LOSES EQUALITY
Now that they have transgressed the original word of life, they can never have access to the full benefit of the TREE OF LIFE (nor can their offspring). God says because you have obtained the knowledge of this (using it for pleasure only) Watch what he says! And thy desire (means the physical desire) shall be to thy husband and he - here God cut off her position of her equality - taking and place it strictly upon her husband saying he shall rule over thee. Up until that time it had been co-equal, however now woman destroyed her right, destroyed her co-equal headship with man by transgressing God’s word. Recall Adam was not deceived in the transgression, Gen. 3:16 shows God has fully cursed Eve the woman and added these physical displeasures, added all these additional periods and such. In sorrow her children shall now be born. She is going to be strictly to her husband for a physical desire, and he shall rule over her (Gen. 3:16). To prove we’re at the end of the age, why have they passed laws giving women equal rights? God took that from her and no man made law will restore it! Woman placed in politics and everything else today has no consideration of God’s law whatsoever - Satan is the head of this political machine attempting to revoke or eliminate that curse from woman placing her on equal rights basis in headship, with man, placing her in the factory, etc. Today she can contest a man even through seniority kicking him out when he may have a family depending on his wages. Beloved it only goes to show we’re at the end!
ADAM’S CURSE
Finishing with the curse of the woman God turns to Adam “Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife and have eaten of the tree of which I commanded thee not to eat (Gen. 3:17) Note please God has placed no physical curse upon Adam’s body as he did the serpent and the woman! Once commissioned to reign over the earth Adam is now stripped of certain legal rights as the ground is cursed. Cursed is the ground for thy sake. Notice something else now - thou shalt eat of it, cursed is the ground for thy sake, in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life, thorns and also thistles shall it bring forth (what is it going to bring forth) the earth is going to bring forth thorns and thistles and thou shalt eat the herbs of the field in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread.” Man, having just lost his servant with no one to take his place must now take his position in the field of labor, and remember man’s labor would be more difficult than the serpent’s under no curse - the sons of God’s line would have multiplied under the law of the tree of eternal life being the God-like creatures having dominion over the rest while that serpent line as it multiplied would have carried out the physical labor of working the earth, sowing the seed, planting the trees, dressing them and etc. Now all this must be accomplished by the sons of God (Adam’s offspring) because there will be no original serpent line to do man’s work. The serpent with his characteristics, voice and intelligence could obey Adam’s command “plant my garden, etc.” To Adam God says, “because thou hast done this, cursed is the ground for thy sake, in sorrow thou shalt eat of it, and thorns and thistles shall it bring forth unto thee and in the sweat of thy face”, what does this mean? Man must now plant his seed do his own tilling and digging - he had lost his servant.
Man has been trying ever since to make servants of his fellow man. That serpent was taken from his original position and because of the curse Adam lost his servant and the burden of work fell on man’s shoulders. Now God placed a curse in the earth and the earth would actually be rebelling against Adam all the time.
MAN’S PUNISHMENT
Unto Adam He said, “Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife” - Adam was not beguiled nor had he been deceived, but was guilty of listening to his wife. You know, I believe Eve had to do some real persuading before Adam broke down. When she related to him what she had done, immediately he knew God would kill her. No doubt he said, “Eve, you will die for this.” and I can see going through Adam’s mind, but oh, if he takes my mate I’m left alone. Adam, because of the grief of mind being so perplexed, he hearkened to the voice of his wife. “Because thou hast eaten of the tree of which I commanded thee saying thou shalt not eat” - notice the curse put on Adam. “Cursed is the ground.” This earth itself, the very thing you and I derive our food from for our physical being is now cursed. “Cursed is the ground for thy sake, in sorrow shalt thou eat of it.” The ground - thou shalt eat of it all the days of thy life. Thorns and thistles shall it bring forth. God adds plagues unto the earth, for it shall henceforth bring thorns and thistles. Man will toil to get his bread from the crust of the earth. This curse of sprouting thorns will cause man to dig through much labor to gain his very existence as far as the food element of the earth is concerned. “Thorns and thistles shall come forth and thou shalt eat of the herbs of the field. In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread until thou return to the ground, for out of it wast thou taken for dust thou art and unto dust shalt thou return.” Once Adam and Eve walked out of that Garden they began walking under a curse, now no one can do his work - and notice following the curse Adam now names his wife Eve - saying she shall be the mother of all living.
CLOTHES - FOR THE NAKED
Next we find the Eternal God making coats of lambskin to cover the very part of their body which they had sinned against God with, will you agree with me? He didn’t cover their face or hands, he only covered that part of their body by which they had broken God’s law. Oh, how guilty and condemned they felt wrapped in sheepskins. God now tells them they can no longer live in His garden or Paradise. Out of the garden they went, as God placed an angel at the gate guarding the way. As they slowly walked away they were fully aware they could never return because of the guarding angel with the flaming sword. Since that dark day man has looked for the Garden of Eden.
ALL IS LOST
Immediately Adam and Eve were driven from the Garden of Eden, (Driven from God’s loving presence) They were not driven outside the boundaries of some iron gate with nice stone gate posts about it. God merely drove them from His presence. They lost all their perfect knowledge or revelation of what all this glory could mean. Never again would they experience within their life the glory of God, where once they walk in that intimate light and communicating fellowship with God, now they walked in darkness, loneliness, sorrow and despair.
TREE OF KNOWLEDGE BROUGHT OUT ALSO
Every tree that was in the Garden is here today. Every animal that was there is here today. Yes, they are all here, even the TREE OF KNOWLEDGE. Adam didn’t carry the Tree of Knowledge out like some plant life and reset it again outside the Garden. NO SIR! He did not dig up the Tree of Knowledge and take it on the outside of the Garden and replant it YET THE ENTIRE HUMAN RACE IS EATING OFF OF IT. We are all brought here by the knowledge of the physical act, yet it is the opposite of the divine purpose. It seems Satan has perverted the mind of man through the ages. Man desires to learn all about the world; all about everything and leave God out.
GENESIS 4 - OUTSIDE GARDEN ENVIRONMENT
Notice God does not accept their carnal understanding by covering with fig leaves but instead slew an innocent lamb and covers them in lamb-skin. (Gen. 3:21) Innocent blood has to be shed, nothing short of an innocent life could be offered to cover their nakedness and sin (was the revelation by faith). Critics enjoy using Gen. 4 to get back at you saying that don’t mean what you teach. Coming to Gen. 4 “And Adam knew Eve his wife and she conceived and bore Cain and said I’ve gotten a man from the Lord and she again bore his brother,” Recall, these children were born outside the garden, immediately upon granting them these sheep-skins to cover their nakedness, God drove them out saying they could not stay (now that you have obtained this knowledge that the act could be used for pleasure least they put forth their hand and partake of the TREE OF LIFE and live forever. Therefore with their newfound knowledge he drove them immediately from the garden. Being outside this garden meant being shut outside the Paradise of God or Environment. Recall before the fall, God’s visible presence was there, it was as simply for Adam to seek fellowship with the spiritual world in all its reality as for him to see through his carnal senses the physical world about him. Recall Adam possessed access to both environments. Before the fall he had not been required to walk by faith. Being a spirit being, created in the very image of God he obtained that full access into the spirit world (or Paradise) though once driven from that garden (paradise environment) which included the presence of God he was automatically cut off from God’s glory and was no longer able to communicate with the supernatural as before. By this I don’t mean God had entirely forsaken them Oh no! God was still with them, preserving them for a future purpose. His presence was no longer with them in the essence of that eternal existence, yet He remained with them for the preservation for them to serve his purpose. Now their contact route to God must be through revealed faith not sight, a sense the sons of God possessed yet one the serpent did not possess. (Heb. 11)
FULFILLMENT OF TRANSGRESSION - TWINS
After Adam and Eve are driven from the Garden, Eve gives birth to children that were conceived inside the Garden. THE ACTS WERE COMMITTED WITHIN THE GARDEN, BUT THE BIRTH CAME OUTSIDE THE GARDEN.
Gen. 4:1, Adam knew Eve it is true but this portion of the scripture is a repeat of what took place inside the Garden. Remember the act is only spoken of once but she brought forth two children. ADAM KNEW HIS WIFE! Again I say this is only a repeat of what took place within the garden when conception took place and Cain was born. In 1st John 3:12 it plainly states Cain was of that WICKED ONE. I defy anyone to stand up and tell me that Cain was the son of God. He was the SEED OF THE SERPENT (the household servant). Adam knowing Eve is mentioned only once yet - two births are recorded! “And Adam knew Eve his wife and she conceived and bore forth Cain and said I have gotten a man from the Lord.” Notice carefully nothing is mentioned concerning Adam knowing her again and no verse of scripture recognizes Cain being the first born Son of Adam. There is no mention in the genetic seed line of Adam anywhere of Cain being Adam’s child. Cain is positively the seed of the serpent or wicked one. (1st John 3:12) Later we’ll examine that.
FIRST MAN FROM THE LORD UNDER THE NEW LAW
Gen. 4:1 records only one relationship - repeat of what actually took place inside the garden. Bearing Cain Eve remarked I’ve gotten a man from the Lord. True, take any young woman and man who are ready for marriage, let that woman commit an illegitimate act with someone else just prior to their own marriage union together. It is very possible according to medical science she could bring forth two offspring, and one not be of her husband. Medical records verify such incidents over these last few years has actually happened.
WHEN ONE CONCEPTION CAUSES - SUPERFETATION
It has become a medical fact throughout different parts of the world that women have committed such acts and each story involves an immoral relation. Each medical case I have studied over the past 10-15 year was where some woman yielded herself to an immoral relationship. One case was in Sweden, another France, still another in Arizona. From all over the world these reports are coming. Every case was where some woman gave herself in a close relationship of time to two different men and these men had separate physical characteristics. In most cases the fathers of the children did not belong to the same race. These cases have a medical term called SUPERFETATION AND ARE FAR MORE RARE THAN QUADRUPLET BIRTHS. This is what happened here. There was a wrong act committed and here is the penalty that comes out of it. Abel was the keeper of the sheep and Cain was a tiller of the ground. He had the nature of his daddy.
Superfetation (6903)
Dear Doctor: I have read about 2 children born together who were not twins. Was that some sort of a joke or trick to attract people to buy the magazine containing the story, or is such a thing possible? How could they not be twins?
Mrs. D.K., Illinois
Answer: It is possible for 2 children to be born at the same time and not be twins. However, even though the children may have been delivered together they have been developing in the womb for different lengths of time. This is called superfetation.
SUPERFETATION is a double pregnancy in which the two fetuses were conceived at different times. Being of different age, they are different in size. - After Am. J. Obst. & Gynec.
Generally, once a woman is pregnant she stops menstruating and stops releasing eggs. In cases of superfetation, after a woman has had one egg fertilized and is pregnant, for some reason another egg is released from her ovary at a successive period.
If the other egg is fertilized too at a subsequent intercourse, she will have 2 fetuses which are not twins in her womb. They may be delivered together or several days or several weeks apart.
People want to fuss saying it would be impossible for Eve to conceive part of animal life and then part of the son of God’s life. GOD ALLOWED IT! God had to put something in the garden to test the whole thing. He could have said don’t paint your lips and, had they violated that law, they would still have received the same curse. God had to put something there and it was the very law that is going to effect the reproduction of offspring for God into the earth.
RARE HUMAN BIRTHS’
Tots Born 2 Minutes Apart Are Not Twins
CLEVELAND, Ohio - (UPI) - Doctors here said Tuesday that two babies, born two minutes apart to Mrs. Leonard Shaffer last Saturday, are not twins.
Dr. Paul R. Zeit of the Cleveland Clinic called the case “one of the rarest occurrences in human births.”
Michelle Lynn, who beat her brother Michael Lee into the world by two minutes, is actually “younger” than Michael if age before birth is considered.
Michelle was an eight-month baby, while her brother was a full-term nine-month infant.
Doctors said the babies were not conceived at the same time. X-rays taken Tuesday of the infants confirmed that they were not twins, and a pediatrician explained that the babies did not come from the same egg. Normally, after a woman conceives, she stops ovulating.
Both Mr. And Mrs. Shaffer’s families have a history of twins.
Dr. Zeit said such births were far more rare than quadruplets.
Michael is a husky 6 pounds, 11 ounces, while Michelle, who is in an incubator, weighs 4 pounds, 3 ounces.
TWO SEPARATE CONCEPTIONS
Notice, “And she bore Cain and said I have gotten a man from the Lord.” It is true every law of creation is the law that God instituted Himself. It doesn’t say she knew Adam again to conceive Abel in Gen. 4 but it says “again she bore his brother.” She gave birth to twins under two separate conceptions - two separate relations resulted in the birth of twins. Now both children would be of the Lord who else? All life comes from God, critics will say it’s scientifically impossible for the gene of animal life to be crossed with the gene of human life, Luke 1:37 said speaking of how the virgin birth would transpire with God nothing is impossible and here God permitted it for the sole purpose of redemption.
THE VIRGIN BIRTH - CAN YOU SCIENTIFICALLY PROVE IT?
If you can scientifically disprove this, then how would you ever scientifically prove the virgin birth? There you have nothing scientific nor medically to even attempt to prove the virgin birth! That birth goes completely contrary to all the genetic law altogether! Just remember if God can go completely contrary to His genetic law to produce a virgin birth certainly He can permit such a thing as this to happen. He is the God of the gene within animal life as well as the genes of human life, is He not? So we contend that Almighty God permits this for the sole purpose that redemption through the virgin birth could later produce eternal life (that birth of which Mary inquired, how could this possibly be?) I have gotten a man from the Lord Eve said, absolutely, in that sense Cain was a man and the life of that man came from the Lord, who else? God alone gives all life - recall either one of these trees would produce life - since Eve was Cain’s mother, the question often arises.
DID CAIN HAVE A SOUL?
On this ground we must be careful or we leave people with the wrong impression. To illustrate say I use two liquids; one being a glass of water, the latter would represent Eve’s life. Say we take one liquid (Kool-Aid) which has a brilliant color to it, If I reached into this and draw equal parts of the two placing them together what do I have? Actually I’ll have a little of the color of the Kook-Aid wouldn’t I, yet basically it’s far more water than just mere Kool-Aid right? That is the best diagram I can illustrate for you. Because Eve, Cain’s mother did have a soul, Cain inherited certain soul characteristics from her, - he had to - yet never in the reality that Abel the full-fledged offspring of Adam had. Whatever potentials his father had, Abel had the same in the full measure, likewise Cain and his father - hereditary traits pass through the genes to the offspring!
CHARACTERISTICS IN CROSS BREEDING
From such an act within the garden two children were conceived. Somewhere outside of the garden two children were born and Eve who is the mother of all living was the mother of this child Cain also which was fathered by the serpent. Let me say, that child was the very image of its daddy. Let’s watch a little genetic picture to learn a truth about whose characteristics will tend to show up in the offspring. Take a horse which is an original and also a donkey which is an original - always remember the daddy of whatever creature is used for breeding - the offspring every time will carry the characteristics strongly of its daddy! Now watch - from crossbreeding a donkey with a horse who does the baby mule strongly resemble? (Its daddy of course) It has the same long nose, and the long ears. I’ve never yet heard a mule nicker like its mother (the horse) they’ll bray every time. I’ve even heard mules try time and again to nicker and notice his first sounds seem like they might become nickering sounds - however once he fills his lungs with air and lets out that sound - they’ll go ha ha ha ha every time. They just can’t nicker although their mother is a horse he’ll bray like his daddy every time! Therefore Cain the crossbreed was the image of his daddy, not his mother. The mule can only do what his daddy did. He has feet like his daddy, a tail like his daddy, a long nose and ears like his daddy. His body shaped like his daddy. About all he carries in characteristics like his mother is she is a larger creature so his body is just larger in proportion. However, every characteristic of his daddy is right there, braying, stubborn so that’s exactly the way Cain was. Now do you wonder why he brought plant life to be offered unto the Lord? That’s all his daddy ever did was grow vegetables, recall no meat was killed and eaten until the flood. That’s all he was for, so how could his son or offspring be any different? See he had just barely enough characteristic inherited from his mother’s nature of that spirit to know there is a God. (But look at Abel - what a different story - by faith or revelation Abel offered a more excellent sacrifice than Cain) Heb. 11:4. How? By revelation. See, Abel had a revelatory capacity being a full fledged son of Adam. I believe in God, that’s about all 90 percent of humanity knows about God. Yes, they believe in God, however they haven’t any true God given revelation as to how they should worship that God. Like poor Cain they don’t know anything about his blood sacrifice, the shed blood of Jesus Christ that’s to atone for their sins. I never did anything wrong, so they’ll join church - just like their daddy, old Cain. Cain saw Abel preparing his sacrifice. Heb. 11:4 stated it came by revelation!
HOW TWO MEN WORSHIPED - HEB. 11:4
Recall Abel being the full fledged son of Adam had one qualification Cain was minus! Abel had the ability to receive revealed faith! Abel who possessed those same fine qualities as that of his father sought fellowship with the Creator. Our attention is directed unto these two half brothers growing into manhood, (Gen. 4:3). Time has arrived in our story to witness revelatory quality working in Abel’s life. What do you mean by revelatory quality? I mean where the spirit of the individual has the capability of receiving revelation from his Creator. Remember all men are endowed with 5 senses but not all men are endowed with the sixth sense!
THE SIXTH SENSE
Revealed faith is God’s method of communicating or spiritually speaking with the soul (of the Sons of God) of the inner man after the fall. Revelatory capability (6th sense) of an individual is being capable of receiving divine inspiration from the Creator. (Faith or revelation) Abel by faith saw it was time to worship and offer sacrifice. (Gen. 4 states Abel was a keeper of the flocks. Abel was fully aware that the sacrifice was an offering of animal life, while by revealed faith Abel was in the process of making his preparation for worship, Cain no doubt being much influenced by the actions of his own half brother felt he too should offer a sacrifice. However being the exact image of his father who possessed no revelation but was solely designed by the Creator to do all that physical labor such as planting, tilling, pruning and all kinds of work - notice his offspring Cain, what did the scripture say Cain was? A tiller of the field! He raised watermelons, cucumbers, pumpkins, and squash and when the time came for sacrificing and worship Cain also offered sacrifice, however not having the revelation on what to bring - HE THOUGHT THIS WOULD pacify God as well as anything else so here he comes bringing his basketful of squash, pumpkins, watermelons and etc. when the revelation was blood from an innocent animal. Thinking God will accept that, he piles it down. That’s exactly what a person without any revelation would do, but remember God won’t accept plant life for an atonement. He even rejected Adam and Eve’s fig leaves! It took the life of an innocent animal. Animal life is life of a more or closer kinward nature. Plant life isn’t. God refused it. (Recall without revelation Adam and Eve turned to plant life - fig leaves.) Glancing over and witnessing God accepting Abel’s sacrifice while his remained untouched, Cain became angry. Sometime later God approaches Cain in his anger and asked what was wrong with him, saying if you’ll do good don’t you know you’ll be accepted? But if you don’t, sin lays at the door! (Gen. 4:6-7) Another question often asked by those who oppose the doctrine of predestination.
COULD CAIN HAVE BEEN SAVED?
Why do they never rephrase the question? Would he have been saved had he accepted God’s offer? We read God offered it to him further telling him if he would obey he would be accepted! The correct way of worship had been illustrated by Abel’s revelation - God said if you do well will you not be accepted? God knew he wouldn’t however God did give him his choice. Cain made his own decision to reject the true revelated route - (Jude 11). From Isaiah we learn whosoever will, let him come and partake of the waters of life. The call is universal, yet God is fully aware who will and who won’t come although he wouldn’t be a just God if he didn’t offer a universal call would he? We notice Cain was dealt with specially, yet he refused!
Today - when the atonement of God came which is none other than the Lord Jesus Christ and the preached gospel revealed all had sinned coming short of the glory of God, how every soul must repent if he’s to be saved, watch man’s reply. Me? What have I done? I’ve never done wrong. I’ve never stole. I’ve never done this or that. Why do I have to repent? See they have no revelation that they’re sinners. They are what they are and proud to admit it. When it’s God who plainly said all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Men turn around and argue and fuss with you saying, not me. I’ve never done anything wrong, no I’ve been good to my neighbors. I’ve paid my bills, I’ve never stole anything, I don’t curse, I don’t drink, I raise my family, I’m a good supporter, I don’t see a thing wrong. Isn’t that just like Cain? I may not go to church every Sunday, but every time the Red Cross comes around I wrote out a donation for $15 or $20 and I think as long as I do those things like that the Creator ought to accept that. HOG WASH! God doesn’t care whether you’re a good sinner or a bad sinner, no sir, God says with him it’s all just the same! All are included under sin - that he might show mercy to whoever will accept him. The scripture shows Cain after that was never the same, never again did he nor any of his genetic line ever try to worship God.
CAIN - ACCUSED OF BEING OF THE WICKED ONE
To further show this - watch! Jews through the ages were not ignorant to what happened in the garden. Notice John who was a Jew stating in 1st John 3:11-12 “Not as Cain who was of the wicked one and rose up and shew his brother.” Why did he slay his brother? Because his own works (deeds) were evil, and his brother’s (Abel) were righteous. Cain took his nature and got his motivations from the evil one. Because his deeds were wicked and malicious and his brothers were righteous (Amp. Trans.) Why did John accuse him of being of the wicked one? Naturally accusers will say that means Cain was inspired of the devil. Beloved, Cain was more than just inspired of the devil, he was absolutely a cross breed product of Satan’s own purpose to get right at the very purpose of God in the very beginning of the genetic story. Watch something, Cain kills Abel who was absolutely Adam’s blood son, being the woman’s legal seed by her husband. Cain was the production of the serpent’s seed from the results of introducing that original act strictly upon the pleasure basis only. Satan wanted to get there first! Often I have heard Bro. Branham state before God ever moves Satan runs ahead, getting there first, however in the end God will defeat Satan at his own game. Slaying Abel cut Adam’s true seed off temporarily. However, watch carefully the 4th chapter of Genesis.
CAIN, THE SEED OF THE SERPENT
CAIN IS OF THE WICKED ONE - 1ST JOHN 3:11-12
ADAM WAS NOT THE WICKED ONE, ADAM WAS THE SON OF GOD
THE EVIL ATTRIBUTES OF THE SERPENT SEED WERE: POUTING, LYING, JEALOUSY, ADULTERY, LUST, ANGER, HATE, MURDER, ETC. AND THESE ATTRIBUTES WERE PASSED ON TO HIS OFFSPRING.
SEED TO REPLACE ABEL - GEN. 4:25
Adam at the age of 130 again knew his wife Eve and she bore a son calling his name Seth saying, God has appointed me another seed instead of Abel who Cain slew. Notice, Eve never at any time calls Cain her seed! Cain was her child alright but not her legal seed by her husband. After many years had elapsed Eve now says, the Lord hath appointed me another seed - Seth was his name. Seth (age 105) also was born a son (Gen. 5:6) called Enos, then began me (plural) from Seth’s line to call upon the name of the Lord. Here once again after so long a time do we see that revelatory ability in operation now in Seth’s line but not once did it appear in Cain’s line. From Chapter 5 it is learned at the age of 130 unto Adam another son born who was in his image and after his likeness. (Seth) So Enos, Seth’s son, had that same spiritual revelatory nature of his father in communicating with God. That explains why once Seth was born and later a son was born unto him - then men (plural) began calling upon the name of the Lord. This calling on the name of the Lord from Enos’ line began the flow of revelation and communicating with God once again after 200 years.
Adam, Abel and Seth all communed with God and notice Seth’s line also fellowshiped God. Men from that line now began to commune with God. However from Cain’s line not one had any revelation or revealed faith therefore none of them could please God. (Heb. 11:6) Through that original act committed for pleasure only outside the divine purpose of God, the death penalty had been instituted into the blood stream of Adam and Eve and since life is in the blood (Lev. 17:11) each child born unto them received Adam’s blood carrying that death penalty which reigned in the flesh. Although death did reign in the flesh of the sons of God, there was no attributes of murder perversion, adultery, killing, drunkenness, lying or any such in Adam’s bloodstream passed on to his children! Where did this evil originate from?
GENESIS - THE STORY OF THE GENES
Each time you read the book of Genesis and notice that word G-E-N-E-S-I-S you should remember Genesis simply means the history of the human genes. Therefore when Adam was created long before Eve was taken from his side, placed in them was that potential biological law of God which would produce every gene. However had the two chosen to live under the tree of life they would have continued to carry God’s eternal life through their genes and mankind would have had nothing other than eternal life flowing through his human bloodstream which would have been the only kind of life which would be going into each offspring of the human family. However since the two chose, in the garden environment, to live under the wrong tree or law their choice produced death within those genes instead of eternal life. I repeat, had the right choice been made, mankind would have entered the world through his first birth full of eternal life instead of death and there would have been no need for a second Adam to come, die on the cross, to sleep the sleep of death and share his eternal life with us!
GENES, WHAT ARE THEY?
Genes are the chemically complex unit which is assumed to be the carrier of specific physical hereditary characteristics from parents to offspring - being transmitted through the chromosomes of the genetics and subject to many influences.
Break down the word Genesis (1st book in the Bible) and you will discover it a story of the sex genes in the cell and what these genes (is) produced. Genesis holds that story - it shows forth the work of the genes within the male life - a dietary law set in Genesis underwent a change, but not until after man’s genes were terrifically altered by a terrible mishap that almost ruined the human race. (Gen. 6)
WHERE EVIL ATTRIBUTES ORIGINATED
Let us find out one thing of importance - where did all this MURDER, PERVERSION, LUST AND KILLING come from that is found within the human family today? No one can show me one scripture in Genesis where it ever said Abel or Seth’s line ever committed murder. No, they were the sons of Adam who was the son of God. They did not possess Eternal life when born because Mama and Daddy ate from the wrong tree, yet Abel nor anyone of Seth’s line ever committed murder, became drunken, stole anything or ever told a lie UNTIL AFTER WE COME TO GENESIS 6 where the two lines of species (Abel -Seth) crossed with Cain’s line. Cain killed Abel and God gave Eve another child which was Seth saying He hath appointed me another seed meaning one to take Abel’s place.
None of those attributes dwelt in Seth or any of his line. Nor any of Adam’s other children (Gen. 5:4) only a death penalty. Although every one of those sons born unto Seth were aware they did not have Eternal Life in their blood stream (but only a temporary life) still they could call on the name of the Lord in worshiping and true sacrifice. This line didn’t get mad, fuss, carouse around in all kinds of perversions. Their nature was one which desired to call on God, feeling I want to fellowship with God! Now to examine this Cainite line. (Gen. 4:16-24)
ATTRIBUTES WITHIN CAIN’S LINE
After slaying Abel Cain journeyed eastward, Gen. 4:16. There Cain’s line began to multiply. Observe what transpired from that line! As Cain’s line began to multiply a man named Lemech introduced polygamy - the practice of having two wives. Compare the two lines - nothing like this was ever discovered in Seth’s line. Lemech became angry and slew a man in self-defense. The second time murder is mentioned and both times out of the Cainite line! Murder, polygamy or none of these other evils appeared in Adam’s line until something dreadful happened, Gen. 6:1-4, when it did. Then these evil attributes began appearing within all the Sons of God or Adam’s seed line! (Gen. 5:4)
Generation after generation the Cain line continued to rapidly multiply. From that line appears your inventors, smart, shrewd, scientifically minded characters such as men who use iron and begin to invent evil things. All kinds of perversion had now begun to transpire.
CAIN’S LINEAGE NOT SONS OF GOD
Watch this, not until Seth’s line began to reproduce did men begin to call on God and receive revelation. Not once in the analysis of Genesis in the lineage of Jesus does it ever record Cain’s line calling upon God, much less ever worshiping God or ever being called THE SONS OF GOD. They were called MEN because of their physical makeup, they looked like men, they were men, but they were half breed men, (creatures) their nature stemmed back to the old serpent nature, but it had that instilled knowledge and instinct of all of its earthly environment. The WOMANHOOD of this Canaanite line, (men’s line) began to portray themselves in the physical emotional way, for it plainly says in Genesis 6 “And it came to pass when men began to multiply on the face of the earth and daughters were born unto them,” - THIS IS THAT WICKED CAIN LINE SCRIPTURE SPEAKS ABOUT! God had put enmity between them and what was called sons of God. Because of the physical appearance they were all referred to as men. When God wanted to put a distinction between them he called one line SONS OF GOD and the others he called SONS OF MEN, AMEN. Nowhere did Cain’s line ever call on God, or is it ever referred to them as sons of God. They were strictly beastly nature to begin with just like some rawboned bully today who could knock your head off, drink 6 quarts of liquor and laugh about it while he shoots you down or cuts you to pieces. He has a nature like the devil himself. He has no more revelation of God than a dog. Please excuse my expression but I have to say this to show where man has come to today. Though he walks on two legs he lives lower than an animal. Though he has knowledge, yet in his expression he is lower than a snake.
SONS OF GOD IN GEN. 6 - WHO ARE THEY?
Now I hope one thing has been made perfectly clear. Seeing that Satan is spirit and not flesh, it was impossible for him to have had any relations with the woman. It has always been amazing to me how some people have thought that we taught Eve had a relation with Satan, this is totally impossible! Yet in explaining Gen. 6:1-2 we go a step farther than the denominational, religious teachers who insist that the explanation of the sixth chapter of Gen. Verse 1-2 referring to the “sons of God” taking unto themselves the daughters of men of all whom they chose, are evil spirits pressing or embodying themselves into the form of man and having affairs with the daughters of men and such a relationship producing giants. This is their explanation of not only how giants entered the earth but that these sons of God were evil spirits who became lustful after seeing the daughters of men - this is untrue! Just as it would be impossible for Satan, the captain of the hosts of darkness, to have had a relation with Eve, it was just as impossible for fallen angels at a much later time to be coming unto the daughters of men and having relations with them! That is certainly not the explanation of Gen. 6:1-2, however until you realize what happened in the Garden between the serpent and the woman and how according to Gen. 2:14-15, the serpent had left traces of a seed bearing his resemblance before the curse which was none other than Cain who slew the righteous seed, Abel, you would never understand Gen. 6:1-2! The sons of God line is none other than the children of Adam (preferably the Seth line) who looked upon the daughters of Cain and began to take unto them wives of all whom they chose. Up until this hour these two strands of people - the blood line - the line of Cain and the children of Adam (mainly the line of Seth) had been kept separated because God did not want these two blood lines to ever begin to intermingle, however Gen. 6 shows they could be kept apart no longer; the bloodlines or stream of the sons of God who up until this hour had only been cursed with death now through intermarriage began receiving into their blood stream the terrible attributes of the seed of the serpent which are murder, adultery, fornication and wickedness of every description. Now the sons of God shall be in a far worse condition than before! No, at no place and at no time have we ever taught or implied that the woman Eve nor any of these women found in Gen. 5:1-2 had any relationship with evil spirits - that is totally impossible! Furthermore, this religious world needs to come up with a better explanation of Gen. 6:1. In passing we might add, according to religious teachings within denominational ranks today, the reason you cannot have a repeat of Gen. 6:1-2 is because after the terrible act of this scripture which produced the flood and drowned all their offspring God took all those bad angels who pulled such a wicked stunt on the human race and chained them in outer darkness awaiting their judgment. This may sound logical, however there is only one catch - it just isn’t true!! Satan and evil spirits may inspire or press upon the minds of human beings to do evil such as committing fornication or adultery. However when the actual act is committed it has been that human being himself who had the ability to say no, who stands guilty before God just as this big fellow called the serpent stood guilty before God and was cursed beyond recognition because he had taken another’s wife! True the devil had inspired him, however the devil had not committed the act! God had merely permitted this creature to be inspired by Satan in approaching Eve. I am sure this creature stood guilty of adultery in the eyes of God even before the act was committed. Recall Jesus said just to look upon a woman and lust after her in your heart you have already committed adultery. (Matt. 5:28)
DAUGHTERS OF MEN, FAIR
From your son’s of God line came revealed truth. Genesis 6 says, “It came to pass when men (unrevelated) began to multiply upon the face of the earth and daughters were born unto them” (speaking of Cain’s line) notice, within God’s language before that flood how strongly he placed definite distinction between the two lines. One line he refers to as mere men, (Gen. 6:2-4) the other line is referred to as the sons of God (men who were revelated) possessing a capacity for revealed faith. However watch closely what happens to that group shortly. Of the men line (Cain line) it is said, “And daughters were born to them.” Sons of God (Seth’s line) bringing us right down into the days of Enoch, the seventh from Adam, we find the earth heavily multiplied in that particular area and the sons of God now saw the daughters of men (Cain line) that they were fair. Fair is the English word used in the translation, doesn’t mean fair in the sense we use it today. It seems they began to present themselves in a manner for the sole purpose of seducing (look at your modern women today! As in the days of Noe so shall it be in the day of the coming of the son of man) (Luke 17:26) means sons of God were physically attracted to the daughters of men. (Gen. 6:1)
Now watch while line it comes through. When these female creatures of Cain’s line portrayed themselves before the sons of God, in such a manner - they made the sons of God want them. (Gen. 6:2) I can see them walking around just like some women today on the street, their whole emotional makeup is - Who can I get next? They boldly bid to use every tactic to break down God’s line. Scripture says that the sons of God began TO LOOK upon the daughters of men, but before Seth’s line began to look upon the daughters of men, what were they doing to entice them to do so? Just as the serpent comes to the human race and uses this line of Canaanite women to come and break down the will and resistence of Seth’s line, THE SONS OF GOD LINE. As now the will of man had been broken down, and the sons of God line then began to take to themselves wives. The sons of God began to yield and take these women into the family. That is the same trick of the devil today with the true church - getting it to accept the World Church, to commit spiritual fornication. WHAT A LIE! As they took to themselves wives what happened?
SATAN STRIKES AGAIN USING WOMAN AS BAIT
Time had arrived for Satan to deal another dirty blow. Watch how sex once again plays the major role, Gen. 6:1-4. Satan seeks to produce a new super race by crossbreeding these two genetic lines - down breeding the sons of God line while upbreeding the Cainite line. Crossing the two lines through a period of generations would produce a new race of men in size and mentality. God ended his program with the flood! That is why after the church was born at Pentecost Satan brought in the Nicea Council (325 AD) to do the same thing spiritually, 2nd Cor. 11:1-4, that was done here genetically, Gen. 6:1-4. Here Satan would bring in a church to get at God’s true purpose in the grace age. Slowly that evil hereditary nature of the Cain line is bred or transferred over into the Sons of God line as those sons of God take unto themselves wives of all whom they chose, generation after generation
RESULT OF CROSSBREEDING
Recall this did not happen with only the first generation that cross bred but after continued generations. Gen. 6:2. By bringing that perverted seed line of wickedness from the seed of the serpent over into all the sons of God, Gen. 5:4, Satan was developing through this crossbreeding process a special breed of people who had no spiritual revelation else why did only eight persons get on the ark and everyone else drown? God, seeing the evil now in men, wickedness as never before, sent a flood and destroyed all mankind and started over with eight people, however, remember through these generations of crossbreeding that wicked seed of evil attributes of Cain had completely defiles the sons of God line destroying their spiritual receptiveness until none were righteous. Satan working through that Cain line began to physically portray and project these daughters of men in such a tempting manner that through time the sons of God’s resistance was broken down. The results were the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair and they took wives of all whom they chose and Gen. 6:4 shows what kind of children were bred into the world. Beloved, look what you have, it is like taking a purebred Angus line and allowing these two groups to crossbreed, what are you going to produce? Some half-breed line springs forth and then once the two old original lines die off you have nothing but half-breeds left! Your crossbreeding might produce half red calf, one black with white face: you might have one white and red spotted - you would have any and all colors etc.. That is what you get into by forced crossbreeding cattle - going contrary to God’s genetic laws in cattle breeding. That is what Satan’s plot was! Recall you are dealing with the Genesis story of the genes and the genes within the sons of God line were still pure up until the beginning of Gen. 6. They were free from everything but death. Those fallen nature attributes, murder, lying, cheating, stealing, killing, lust, etc., were not in their hereditary genes. They simply did not have eternal life. Adam forfeited eternal life by disobeying God’s Word, yet God never said Adam you will become a murderer, thief and a liar. God only said the day you eat thou shalt surely die, however the hereditary genes within the Cain line carried entirely a different story. This is Satan’s half-breed program which started in the garden and in Gen. 6 would have been perfected had not the flood cut it short! However not before Satan had successfully transferred those evil attributes into the blood stream of the sons of God. Once that evil began to cross into the blood stream it contaminated the sons of God line and for generations as we draw closer to the flood that sons of God line was so weakened in spiritual revelation or mentality until hardly any revelated people existed! Scripture shows only one man from that sons of God line could still somehow hear God by revelation. We cannot imagine the detriment or damage this did to the spiritual capacity or mentality of men to receive a revelation from God, nor can we imagine what kind of half-breeds were filling the earth at the time of the flood, Luke 17:27, 1st Peter 3:19-20. Only one man could hear God, Gen. 6:8. See also John 8:43-47. However before this crossing men were calling by revelation on the name of the Lord!
MAN BECOMES FLESH ONLY
Notice what now happened to the genetic line once Satan has accomplished this, “And the Lord said my Spirit shall not always strive with man for that also he is flesh” - (Fleshly - his revelatory ability was now so downbred that God even cuts down their life span). For the very first time do we witness since man left the garden God shortens his life span to 120 years. Before this, mans life span reached 800-900 years.
BEGINNING OF JUDGMENT
The Lord said My Spirit shall not always strive with man as a whole for he is also flesh, yet his days shall be 120 years, and when Seth’s line (sons of God line) took themselves daughters of men they began to cross the two lines. It was then that Canaanite nature, the fallen perverted nature was bred up into its highest intellectual degree and it was then that the mentality, the spiritual revelation instilled in the sons of God line was broken down. THE EVIL WAS BRED UP, THE RIGHTEOUS WAS BRED DOWN, and by the time we fully come into the days of Noah, this thing had gotten so mingled by intermarriage (mixing of the seed) that the nature was to kill, to prostitute, to do everything evil.
PERVERSION WAS SO CROSSED THAT OUT OF THE VERY SAME LOIN OF A MAN AND WOMAN COULD COME ONE BAD CHILD AND ANOTHER GOOD ONE. By the time of the flood the nature were so crossed that God looked upon them and saw that man had corrupted the earth with what - HIS PERVERSION! God destroyed all life on the earth except Noah and raised him up to be the regenerator of the earth.
WHAT CROSSBREEDING PRODUCES
Most important we have seen what it produced spiritually by weakening the Sons of God line - it destroyed their ability by revealed faith to contact God. Gen. 6:4, “There were giants in the earth in those days” (also after that). Notice you find no mention of giants in the earth until after the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men and began producing offspring from those unions. This alone should prove Cain and Abel could not possibly have been full blood brothers. That production of giants prove beloved a great genetic disturbance had arisen. Giants are not recorded until after these two genetic lines became greatly disturbed. Over a period of generations prior to the flood giants came forth! Through this process the devil’s purpose was to wreck God’s entire program by multiplying a new breed of man upon this earth and harnessing it for himself. These giants were born after the sons of God came to the daughters of men, Gen. 6, “And they bore children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.” Renown means they had attained to a great world famed name, yet none of those men’s name appear in scripture.
Scientific geniuses existed in that day the same as in our day, such as the scientist who became famous recently for creating this artificial gene in a test tube. Were God ever to permit these educated scientist giants of today to continue this pace, the day will come they will be able to compile out of these chromosomes a being made in their test tubes or from some artificial incubator compiling stuff here and there, coming up with some kind of ungodly looking creature called man. WHAT IS SATAN’S GAME? Realizing he must soon leave the scene Satan seeks desperately to brainwash this younger generation into believing there is no Creator - even Science can produce life - SEE, WE CAN EVEN CREATE A GENE. Today through a perversion Satan tampers with the very beginning of life itself. What was Satan tampering with in the Garden and in Gen. 6 but with the living hereditary gene to weaken that line who had faith in God. Concerning this experiment of science with the gene, one statesman in Washington was quoted as saying, then this is the beginning of the end! That beginning actually began several years ago as science realized the rapid overcrowded population of the earth and began urging strong birth control laws for the preservation of the human race. It is impossible to feed the people we now have, they say. I repeat, how strange and astonishing that our story began in Genesis with the tampering of the gene. The flood was produced from the results of it and here at the close of the age we again see Satan tampering with the gene of hereditary life making this time an artificial line, one that actually works! What kind of creature called man could it produce when the gene is the very means of transferring the hereditary traits and characteristics from one generation into the next. You see, something produced in a test tube could have no hereditary traits to pass on!
CROSSBREEDING PRODUCED GIANTS
There were giants in those days and also these mighty men of renown began perverting the earth - homosexuals, sodomites - various kinds of perversion adultery, fornication running rampant just as today! Satan even took the pleasure of the original act itself which had been introduced unto the woman strictly on the pleasure relationship and perverted it by dragging it down into the muck and mire through homosexuality etc., Yes, even after God permitted them to retain their knowledge concerning the act that it could be used for pleasure look where Satan dragged it to. God allowed man to live under that law of knowledge yet they must suffer what that curse produced. God will forgive fornication; He will forgive adultery but sodomites and homosexuals, He will destroy everyone of them! Look at the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, WHAT DID HE DO? He killed everyone of them! Beloved when our educated nations of today legalize homosexuality and our own Congress trying to pass laws where industry must hire homosexuals, no longer considering them as misfits to society - this United States is headed down the same path that Sodom and Gomorrah trod! When the premier of a country legalizes homosexuality soon as he gets in office that nation is headed down the same path. Did not Jesus say, AS IT WAS IN THE DAYS OF NOAH SO WOULD IT BE IN THE DAY OF THE COMING OF THE SON OF MAN, and he always compared Noah and Sodom and Gomorrah together because the same spirit was there that was inside Sodom and Gomorrah - two metropolitan cities - that would be the world conditions leading up to his coming and the whole thing is a sexual perversion of God’s original plan of bringing his sons and daughters into the world.
ATTEMPTING TO REMOVE DEATH PENALTY
The discovery of the living artificial gene shows we are at the end of the line with God’s original gene. Giant minds today are wanting to regulate this new found knowledge - Scientifically creating the gene and then breaking it down where they may regulate it saying - we want 500 doctors, 500 scientists, etc. By taking these genes and the egg of woman using only certain classifications of women who have high I.Q. who have had certain types of physical hereditary qualities they will begin to produce for their own purpose and advantage a race of people who knows nothing about a God - who chooses to reveal Himself to his people. We are at the end of the road when artificial genes begin to replace God’s created genes which have transferred heredity traits and characteristics of previous generation within the male seed for usage of the unborn infant as has been accomplished today! They desire not to know God, only desiring to go contrary to all of God’s hereditary laws which He has incorporated within the genes, chromosomes, eggs etc., these are the hereditary routes which carry or continue to transfer the penalty of sin, into the blood stream of the oncoming generation carrying over that fallen nature and science is trying to eradicate all that! If only they could remove death from the pipeline they could take out disease also, then they could really sit back and laugh at God, couldn’t they?
EVEN NOW AS BEFORE THE FLOOD (Luke 17:26)
Gen. 6:1-4 reveals Satan’s plot through crossbreeding to begin a new race. Yes and as God saw the great wickedness upon the earth and how that every imagination of the thought in man’s heart was only evil continually (this includes the weakened generations of the Sons of God who had become so fleshly minded they could receive no revealed faith, drowning in the flood) God saw exactly what they were doing and it repented the Lord that He had made man on the earth. Grieving in His heart the Lord said I will destroy man whom I have created from the dust of the earth both man and beast. - So shall this generation be brought to judgment!
NOAH - A PERFECT MAN IN HIS GENERATION
There lived in that day a man by the name of Noah. Noah had 3 sons; Ham, Shem, and Japhat. No doubt had God judged Noah on the basis of genuine spirituality and the spirit of righteousness shall we say as it existed in the day of Seth, or even a few generations back before the crossing of seed began - Noah probably couldn’t have held a candle-stick (of comparison). This goes to show God is not going to judge you beloved on the basis of what somebody was a 100 or 200 years ago. He’s going to judge you on the basis of what he has given you today, as you have an opportunity to live it, and the grace to live in this hour. God says Gen. 6:9 These are the generations of Noah, “Noah was a just man and perfect - in his generation,” (see not in someone else’s generation) that generation was so degraded - However in comparison to it Noah was a perfect man in that hour. God didn’t compare him by Seth in his hour; God compared him to what he was and to his attitude and his obedience to God in his respective generation. “And Noah begat three sons and” etc., now it says “again the earth also was corrupt before God and the earth was filled with violence.” What is the earth full of today? Violence!
EXAMPLE IN SONS OF GOD LONG AFTER CROSSBREEDING BEGAN
By revealed faith or revelation God instructed Noah “Build an Ark” for the saving of his household. On board that Ark went only 8 people - (Gen. 6:17-21) Notice his own blood brothers and sisters must have perished in the flood with the ungodly! (See Gen. 5:28-31) How was it that only one seed from the loins of Lamech produced only one son who was able by spiritual revelation to commune with God and his brothers and sisters who were born after him from the same son of God seed line were not able to hear the spirit concerning the flood nor could they be convinced though the Ark of preparation had been made for their escape (Gen. 5:29-30).
HOW DID THE SE4RPENT SEED SURVIVE?
The question often arises, how could the seed of the serpent survive the flood? Simple, if you know what you are looking for. Remember, the seed of man is not a person of flesh and blood (although the seed transfers the blood) until that seed comes in contact with the female egg and conception takes place then later that process develops into a person, right? Now, until that process transpires, where is that seed? IN THE LOINS OF THE FATHER OF COURSE! We read how Levi paid tithes to Melchisidec in the loins of Abraham three generations before he was born.
It all began when the Sons of God began to see the daughters of men were fair and the two lines started crossing. As these two lines continued to cross generation after generation this automatically sowed the nature of the serpent seed to kill, lust, to steal, lie, pervert, polygamy, sodomy and everything else into the bloodstream of the Sons of God line. Can’t you see what happened as this Cain line began to cross seed bringing its bloodline into all of Adam’s blood line children, Gen. 5:4? The spiritual revelatory quality within the sons of God slowly began to subside being bred down.
All these other evil attributes from the Cainite line was running rampant, where, in the blood streams of the Sons of God Adamic line! Yes, even now within the loins of the Sons of God rested the serpent seeds attributes transferred through generations of intermarriage relations, therefore we can see Satan has now successfully transplanted the Cainite attributes, which was the seed of the Serpent, into the Sons of God line so perfect that Noah was the only seed in his fathers loins who was not destroyed. If Noah could not have received revelation, he too would have been destroyed. Now, examine the attributes found in Him shortly after the flood and we shall see the serpent seed attributes to a certain degree already at work in the new world. Those attributes went safely into the ark and rode across only later to be manifested more so in Ham than any of the eight. Since the long line of genetic crossbreeding, beloved, that is why a godly man can father his children and in many cases some of them will be as wicked as the devil himself having no revelation of God whatsoever while one of his seed released from the same loins will have a revelatory capacity to hear that revealed Word of God in their hour. While it may be possible the other children may be religious, yet only one will hear the voice of God in revealed truth - a perfect example was Noah whose Godly father was Lamech who fathered one child out of many who could hear the voice of God. Heb. 11:4.
NOTE, BEFORE THE FLOOD, MANKIND’S SEED LINE HAD BECOME SO PERVERTED AND INTERMINGLED THAT EVEN FROM NOAH’S OWN LOINS HE WILL PRODUCE THREE SEPARATE RACES OF PEOPLE. GEN. 9:18-19 ALSO CHAPTERS 10 AND 11. HAM IN HEBREW MEANS “BURNT BLACK”!
BE FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLY - HOW?
INTRODUCTION: WHO IS THE AUTHOR OF SEX? WAS IT ORIGINALLY IN GOD’S PLAN OR INTRODUCED LATER? HOW WAS THE COMMISSION OF GEN. 1:28 ORIGINALLY TO BE CARRIED OUT? WHAT WAS GOD’S ORIGINAL PURPOSE IN WOMAN? WHY WAS CHRIST BORN OF WOMAN? WHAT HAS EATING FRUIT FROM THE WRONG TREE BROUGHT US TO IN THE ‘70s?
POPULATION EXPLOSION
I am fully aware a topic of this nature to the eyes of the world cannot be an enticing one, seeing our world population by mid 1970 had climbed to an estimated 3.7 billion people with far above 600,000 new births over the death rate every 3 ½ days added to the already overpopulation, climbing yearly to 70 million, and if present rate continues to soar it is expected in 35 years to have doubled. No, a subject of this nature is certainly outdated as modern scientists scream - we must drastically reduce the flow of human life or face chaotic devastation. Again it can gain no popularity with Women’s Lib Movements who have successfully created a condition whereby lawmakers have yielded to their demands for legal abortion for any woman (married or single) who simply does not want to birth a child until physicians through abortions are taking approximately one-half as many little lives as are permitted to enter into the world! With American population having already reached 208 million in 1971 and a needed knowledge of how to feed, house, educate and employ the next one hundred million has presented such a problem in Washington that some birth control enthusiasts want to answer with a barrage of forceful measures ranging from special taxes on any family with more than two children to sterility drugs in the public water supply. With the announcement by the Agricultural Department that a million farms will be lost by 1980, about one-third of those which now produce the nation’s food and fiber, they feel the problem has become more acute. However, Mr. Nixon thinks he has come up with an answer to the pressing problem or at least what he terms as a more moderate approach - a $382 million program to encourage birth control. The U.S., with less than 6 percent of the world’s people, already devour about 40 percent of its resources. In the days of Christ, the population was approximately 250,000 million. It required until the early 1800's for the world’s population to slowly crawl up to the one billion mark however in only 80 years after that it had doubled itself and required only 41 years more to reach today’s population number of 3.7 billion! If that progress continues it is widely and gloomily predicted that there shall be seven billion people standing in line for their rations by the year 2000 and by 2050 only fifty years later perhaps as many as 30 billion people would be fighting and scuffling like panicked animals for a share of the once green earth! The latest estimate from the United Nations tells us there is a net gain of 178,200 in the world’s population during each 24 hour period.
From this message which we have entitled “BE FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLY” I trust you will allow me to openly and frankly discuss certain touchy things being pushed over on the public today. Some would declare such a message should not be openly discussed seeing the world has taken the subject and run it so far into the ground, however I believe the way certain things are being presented and advertised before the public makes a message of this nature most demanding for an hour such as this. No true Christian approves of the way the carnal mind of this hour has portrayed the word SEX. I am fully aware that this message is not going to turn the tide in the opposite direction, nevertheless I am fully persuaded the message to be of God and since knowing God’s word will not return unto Him void it shall find its lodging place in every heart designated for it by the Holy Spirit and to this end we present the message, BE FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLY.
Your Bible is a book dealing with every phase of life past, present and future. It is the only book that has stood the test of all ages and even though it appears to no longer be the best seller on the market today, it cannot fail nor return to the author void of his purpose.
Our generation witnesses something shocking, something satanic, something that no generation in human history has ever faced! No generation has ever seen such an hour when sex was more highly exalted, portrayed and given such a free course making headlines in magazines, billboard, books and newspapers across the land while at the same time motherhood is so bitterly frowned upon and outrageously looked down upon as being something distasteful and shameful! The phrase has reached such an all time high it appears to be serving two purposes - (1) shutting the minds of decent minded people as it is allowed to run its own downward course, (2) it allows Satan to drag to its lowest depth - this human relationship of which I believe scripture verifies to have been the very act chosen and ordained of God to bring life into the world, yet Satan is determined to drag it through every mud hole he can find.
REASON FOR PUBLISHING
Another reason this message must be published is to ensure a proper slant upon the precious revelation given by the Holy Spirit unto his endtime messenger and try to shed some light on false interpretations of this message floating about following the death of this messenger. Furthermore it is our hope and prayer that you may see God’s original ordained plan of bringing life into this planet would be through his own plan of sexual relationship which in his original thought was holy and sacred. Satan is the guilty party who has made sex an evil, degrading, perverted, dirty, lustful word planted in the mind of humans. I certainly do not believe God is evil although the scripture does declare that he created both good and evil, BUT FOR WHAT PURPOSE? To allow everyone to know God is good and in the end good will triumph over evil. God is holy, perfect and just and seeks to serve in that capacity and be reverenced and worshiped through that kind of knowledge concerning himself. God cannot be pictured as anything less, although it is easy to picture Satan representing every dirty, lowdown thing that can ever be brought into existence. Wherever such things are found you may be sure Satan lurks behind the scene.
We realize the term SEX, as it has been presented to a modern world of carnal, lustful minded people, accompanied with every loose interpretation has brought about in the true believer a feeling of guilt or fear complex wherein they shudder at the very thought of what is going on. Nevertheless let us take a frank open look at the subject. We will never understand it until we do.
PRIVATE RELATIONS OPENLY DISCUSSED
Turn now to that book from which we receive the basis for everything that has ever existed or been written - the Bible! Bear in mind this message deals strictly with God’s original sexual act which he himself chose as his only route to produce human life into the world. To you who may feel a message of this nature should not be discussed may I ask you one simple question? Does Almighty God feel that way? If he does is it not strange that he allowed intimate relationships of holy men of old to be openly discussed in the scripture or do you suppose the writers who mentioned such subjects were peeping toms or people with unusually long noses? FACE IT! Scripture says Adam knew his wife; Isaac knew his wife; Abraham, Jacob and the patriarchs of old have their intimate relationship with their legal companions openly and frankly discussed in the holy writ showing somewhere in the back of all of this was a holy God. One cannot help reading the scriptures concerning these holy men of old, men of faith, walking upright and receiving revelation from God although they did have within their blood stream that inherited measure of imputed sin yet somewhere behind those intimate relationships with chosen companions God guided their lives and also those sacred sexual relationships. Yes, they were sacred in the eyes of God and could be openly discussed and referred to by other holy people in that sense. Just how much these relationships were discussed no one knows but think about people discussing and keeping in their memory such relationship even as far back as ten and fifteen generations before - perhaps even farther, recall it was Moses who wrote the first five books of the Bible long after the flood had occurred and up until that time we had no sacred writings such as recorded scripture for future generations to read. No doubt there were other writings and records kept however generally knowledge was passed from generation to generation verbally. Therefore as late as 700 years after the flood, Moses wrote his books and note all of the sexual knowledge was available to him to record for future generations! In order that you not think me to be sexual minded maniac as so many are looked upon who discuss such a subject openly and frankly from the scriptures for the benefit of God’s people, allow me to say that Moses wrote not only the sexual life of the patriarchs he gave also the account of the beginning of creation, its fall, how sin entered into the picture through just such a misused relationship and how sin and short comings are recorded of the men of old, yet not the excess of knowledge concerning the private life of the patriarchs and their companions that was held in constant keeping, openly discussed and communicated throughout the long line of patriarchs of old. Finally, it is the Holy Spirit who at best takes this vast knowledge and records it for blessings and cursings upon future generations who shall read from its pages.
Yes, I realize as the world becomes more overly populated and as man drops lower in degradation until his very thought will meditate day and night upon gratification of the flesh through the lust thereof we must become keenly aware that it is Satan who is doing everything possible to drug and null the human mind to truth.
THE AUTHOR OF SEX
As I stated, one reason we want to teach this subject is to try and bring clarification on certain unscriptural teachings which have arisen out of this message following the death of our endtime messenger. These erroneous teachings which are completely out of harmony with the revelation of the holy scriptures and the revelation of the endtime messenger himself declare first off before the fall of transgression it was never in God’s original plan from the very beginning to use this intimate relationship between man and wife as the sole means of bringing life into the world, therefore relations between husband and wife should be abstained from indicating the devil was the author of this act!
Well Beloved, if the devil was the instigator of sex then I would have to agree with these teachers, however he is not!!He is only the perverter of the original sex act. These spirits promoting such propaganda declare that it was God’s original plan not to bring children into the world through a sex act but by the spoken word of God, that is, speaking the word and a child simply pops up out of the ground! Their teaching is that God only permitted the sexual act to bring forth children after man had sinned. HOGWASH! God always intended to use the sex act, however, now that it has been perverted through a transgression of the divine law children are still born as originally planned through the sex act only now, because of the curse the situation is far different than it was originally intended to be.
WHY STATEMENTS DROPPED HERE AND THERE BY PROPHET
Again I must declare as I have stated in previous message such as in the SEVENTIETH WEEK OF DANIEL and others that our prophet along his way of life dropped two seed lines of thought on practically every major subject he taught. This does not mean to imply he taught from the scripture two lines of teachings on certain subject, OH NO!!! He taught strictly the pure revelation yet in passing through certain messages for a reason known only to God he was required to drop certain statements along the way which could be interpreted to mean other things than his true revelation of thought. A close study of his message in books and tapes reveals this could be true and certainly could be no coincidence. Some will ask, was the prophet wrong to make such statements? For the purpose which he had to make them, ABSOLUTELY NOT! God through his divine love and mercy is working out his plan in weeding out all those who are not to be a part of his endtime program! I am sorry to be so blunt but time has come that truth must be spoken and since I have in my possession such marked statements I challenge anyone to show this is not true, that on practically every subject of major importance the prophet somewhere along with his true revealed message following the line of God’s word dropped certain statements along the way and one opposes the other. Since it is impossible to believe that an object could be completely black and completely white at the same time and since these statements can no longer be ignored, the time has come for true believers who have all intentions of pressing on to take his revelation along with these statements and line them up with the revelation of the word to which we were restored and face without fear and without despair or feeling that they are no longer a part of this endtime message the fact of which one of these statements line up completely with the word of God and which statement does not! One thing is certain they both cannot although they may both completely accomplish the purpose for which they were sent therefore whenever two conflicting statements or lines of thought seem to appear you must simply reach down and pick out the one you like the best, OH! NO! You must weigh these two statements in the light of the Holy Scriptures! What the prophet brought will definitely produce two things, as he himself taught each age produced two churches - one spiritual and the other carnal. But may I ask you a question, from what does each of these churches feed - STATEMENTS! One lining up with the perfect revelation of the word of God while the other always fed the masses of people who God knows will not follow the true revelation, nevertheless, because they would need or require something to lead them astray, it was ordained to come from the prophet’s mouth, God filling both needs. Both groups are fed from that prophets mouth but the pathetic part remains - who has actually received the revelation wherein lay the life of the word?
What is strange to me and I believe will be to you also if you will just stop and think for a moment, how is it possible for so called Bible believing people who were supposed to be pulled from Babylon and brought straight to the word by revelation to always be capable of taking these certain statements that are not in line with his true revelation teaching as a whole and build themselves a doctrine or a personal revelation. Though it is true they were spoken and as has already been stated, were spoken for a divine purpose yet how is it that these teachers, ministers or mere followers of this endtime message can always manage to get latched on to these various statements which cannot be supported by the scripture, thus, ending up with a gospel made completely from statements which will absolutely have no biblical foundation whatsoever therefore containing no salvation whatsoever! But someone will say, don’t you know the prophet has the word of the Lord? Certainly I do, however, he also had these other statements that were expressed along the way! These are things people are afraid to face, realizing the fact he was a prophet with the word of the Lord these scrupulous teachers do not hesitate to use this against the innocent little child of God by saying, Now, you do not want to go contrary to the word of the prophet, DO YOU? Certainly no one wants to go contrary to the true revelation of that prophet for beloved, I want to tell you he never at any time in his ministry while following that pure stream of revelation within the word ever departed from it. NO! Yes these statements were made, ordained of God to see who will take them and build from them and who will not! These things do not dishearten nor discourage me, nor will I listen to those who make such unscriptural statements as BELIEVE IT ALL which means believe both statements. Beloved, allow me to say I cannot believe both statements in the manner some would ask me to do so. However, I believe both statement in his message were ordained of God, yet for a different purpose. When Bro. Branham said you did not have to understand it, just believe, he was speaking of the true revelation fo the word which he was bringing! There is nothing unreasonable about God nor is there anything unreasonable about this prophet’s message at the endtime - this message was designated to turn the hearts of the children back to the fathers as declared in Malachi 4:5-6. One of these statements will help produce that very thing while the other will produce only a proud, high, haughty, exalted people who in the long run shall miss the very purpose of the God sent message!
TWO THOUGHTS
In all fairness to both sides allow me at this time to introduce two such statements or two liens of thought which our prophet was known to have made concerning God’s divine purpose or original purpose in bringing offspring into the world, then let us see which of these two statements will line up with the scripture as it is impossible for both to do so! Why? Because only one such line of thought was designed for that purpose. One such statement known to be made was - it was God’s original plan that Adam by the word call his children forth from the dust of the earth. Another statement however said - before Adam could come to Eve as his wife she was already defiled.
Which statement will line up with the word of God? Now we are aware of the fact that when God spoke Adam and Eve from the ground he was using the only available means at his disposal. I do not say that God could not have spoken every individual out of the ground, bypassing his ordained sexual route which he chose seeing the first pair both male and female were definitely spoken out of the ground, however no where in scripture do we find where this method was ever repeated once the first pair had been called forth from the ground, blessed and commissioned of God to be fruitful and multiply. Yes beloved, man and woman also received this same commission (Gen. 1:28) NOT AFTER THE FALL BUT LONG BEFORE THE FALL!
Furthermore, seeing how he brought man from the dust of the earth assures every true believer who sleeps in the dust of the earth that long after the skinworms have completed their assignment on the flesh God will bring each child of his from the dust of the earth for the new age in their new glorified bodies!
In Gen. 1:21-24 we find Adam’s first statement after he awakens from his operation and sees that beautiful woman taken from his side to be his helpmeet (which according to some teachers would mean helping Adam call children from the ground), was a prophecy concerning the role of woman. “This is bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh. She shall be called woman because she was taken out of man (watch closely, this is before the fall) Therefore shall a man leave his father and mother and shall cleave unto his wife and they shall be one flesh!” In what manner does any young couple become one flesh other than through their offspring produced from their bodies through an intimate relationship? There the two have become one flesh. Simply being a husband and wife does not make one a mother or father - an offspring from their union must be produced first! How can a man refer to other creatures of the same specie as father and mother except he be their offspring? Paul, picking up this same line of thought in Ephesians 5:22-23 admonished the wife to submit herself unto her own husband as unto the Lord seeing she represents the church. He instructed the men to love their wives as their own bodies saying, “he who loveth his wife loveth himself for no man ever hated his own flesh but nourisheth and cherisheth it even as the Lord the church, as we are members of his body, of his flesh and his bone.” Then Paul refers directly to Genesis picking up that statement of Adam’s prophecy concerning the role of womanhood and repeats it!
Now beloved, it is impossible to take a separate man and woman making them become one flesh without somewhere first a sexual relation has been involved!! Paul continues by saying, “This is a mystery but (actually) I speak concerning Christ and the church, nevertheless let everyone of you in particular so love his wife even as himself and the wife see that she reverence her husband.” Having recorded this, may we analyze it. Paul referred to Adam’s statement which was his first recorded conversation and dealt strictly with a prophecy concerning the role of woman - how she would become a mother! Is it not strange that Adam and Paul both spoke of husband and wife becoming one flesh! Paul was using this to type Christ and the church nevertheless the question still remains, how could two separate persons become one flesh (before the fall) without a sexual act being involved? It simply cannot be done! Recall, Adam speaking before the fall indicates his line of prophecy concerning woman and her role in producing children had to be in line with God’s divine program seeing they knew only good as evil had not yet been introduced by the serpent. On the contrary it was concerning that original plan to fulfill Gen. 1:28 “Be fruitful and multiply.” How did God originally intend to fulfill Gen. 1:28 if it was not through the sex act? Their temptation came around the very calling and purpose for which they were placed in the garden - “BE FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLY AND REPLENISH THE EARTH.”
WHAT BECOMING ONE FLESH INDICATES
After seeing the woman taken from his side Adam said, “she shall be called woman because she was taken out of man therefore shall a man leave his father and mother and cleave unto his wife and they two shall be one flesh” reveals Adam’s revelation extended far beyond he and his wife, to reveal there will be more than two individuals on this earth but the question remains - how were these others (Which today number of 3.7 billion) supposed to arrive here? What was God’s original plan for their arrival? Is Adam prophesying that man shall leave his father and mother, cleave unto himself a wife and they shall become one flesh only to call forth their children from the ground or dust of the earth as they themselves had been called or did he mean they would be brought forth through an intimate relationship and later as they looked upon their offspring they would be able to see both father and mother in one flesh?
Personally I hold to the statement Bro. Branham made concerning before Adam could come to eve as wife, she was already defiled by Satan (who stood behind the scene instigating the entire plot.) I accept this statement and others like it because it is my firm conviction this is the statement that carries the revelation and comes in line perfectly with the word of God. The other statement is also serving its God ordained purpose. How was it possible that Satan, who inspired the serpent, could possibly defile the original plan and purpose of God in Gen. 1:28 pertaining to Eve and the arrival of children had there never been any original sex plan or law in the beginning with which Satan could tamper? Later we want to show how both the first and second Adam was tested by Satan only on one thing - their divine calling and purpose.
Since we already know that imputed sin from the transgression came through the blood line and is passed on from generation to generation through the act of sex, how could this temptation possibly have affected that original plan of God wherein Adam had stated a man would leave his (own) father and mother, cleave unto himself a wife and they (two) become one flesh, if he had not originally planned to use the sex act for the arrival of children even before the fall? Therefore whatever the act was involving the woman which caused her to be deviled has been placed in a language by Moses through certain well chosen statements which hide the real truth from the eyes of the wise and prudent and will be revealed by the Holy Spirit unto his elect. Beloved the Bible is written to instruct, inform, uplift, rebuke with all longsuffering God’s chosen and elect. It is not for the world to view upon therefore if it simply stated clearly what actually transpired in the Garden any college professor or any man with a third grade education with no love of God in his heart could simply read the direct wording and know without any revelation exactly the cause of the fall and transgression in the Garden.
BIRTH BEFORE THE FALL, HOW WOULD IT HAVE BEEN?
The becoming one flesh indicates since Adam knew no evil in the very beginning it was God’s original intention or plan for man to leave father and mother who had brought him into the world through this relation and now choose a woman for wife whereby he might reproduce himself, only with the original act, that sexual relation inspired and led of God would have produced a child full of eternal life instead of death as all are now plagued with since the original act had been tampered with in the Garden. Imputed death travels only through the blood stream, thus the sperm of life makes contact with the egg and life instantaneously springs from that conception. Today we find that germ or Gene of life to be filled with death, imputed only by the transgression or fall in the Garden. However, had there been no sin, no transgression, no tampering with the divine law of God pertaining to bringing human life into the world, at appointed times which would be regulated by the divine law set up in the woman’s body, God would have brought the young couple together, the act would have been performed for no other purpose than that original ordained, divine purpose and plan of God to fulfill Gen. 1:28 in producing himself another son or daughter and since there would have been no death flowing in the bloodstream because of disobedience at the time the act was performed that seed from the father would have been holy and would have been on full of eternal life, not life which would remain for only a period of time and then be cut off! Neither would there have been any remorse or guilt in any fashion over the act. Childbirth would have been most simple, bringing forth no pain, no depressed feeling - and certainly no death. The point is under the original plan each child conceived whether boy or girl would have been filled with life eternal seeing death would not have entered into the picture.
Thus from Adam’s prophecy concerning the role of womanhood we see Adam knew God’s original plan and purpose for woman when he stated man would leave his father and mother who had produced him into the world for it is now time that he should take unto himself a wife and fulfill the obligations for which purpose they were brought into the world - becoming one flesh and producing God another son or daughter thus fulfilling God’s great commission, Gen. 1:28, given to this first couple long before the fall - BE FRUITFUL, MULTIPLY AND REPLENISH THE EARTH. The shameful part is that this original, holy plan never came into effect because before Adam could come unto his wife to perform this she was already defiled! This replenishing the earth would only have been accomplished under the original plan as man without condemnation or guilt would know his wife and she without any pain and suffering would bear a child and in that child would have been attributes of both father and mother in their perfect original state as God had created Adam and Eve in the beginning.
However we are aware today as has been seen throughout the ages that man does not have to cleave to a wife in order to use that original divine sexual plan for some purpose other than how God proposed it in the beginning. He may use it strictly for a pleasure act with no thought of bringing forth life. Such was the basis upon which the serpent introduced the act unto Eve - strictly for pleasure. As was true in the Garden at certain periods of time that divine law placed in woman’s body, placed in her physical makeup and placed there long before the fall, once that law has been tampered with during these seasons of life conception takes place and life springs forth.
Therefore I repeat, the major differences between the original plan of God for fulfilling his commission through the young couple’s life in Gen. 1:28 (be fruitful and multiply) and how it was actually fulfilled or accomplished was for altogether another purpose - PLEASURE! Since the fall woman according to the scriptures, has become far more susceptible to conception than before seeing God increased her periods of life, Gen. 3:16. Cursing the woman for her part in the original act of sin, God told her he would greatly multiply her sorrow and conception, didn’t he? Indicating to multiply her periods of conception meant she already had something there to multiply. Eve was able to conceive before the fall. “In sorrow thou shall bear forth children and thy desire shall be to thy husband and he shall rule over thee.” Note, before the fall children would have been born minus the pain, discomfort or suffering - pain and suffering death came with the curse!
EVE AND HER ABILITY TO CONCEIVE BEFORE THE FALL
Next we note the outward physical makeup of the two separate individuals before and after the fall remained virtually the same. Before the fall or transgression in which the woman shared, her physical makeup remained the same - only the serpent received a curse that changed his bodily structure. Woman was not given her motherly makeup or physical female organs after the fall, on the contrary, she had received these before the fall! IF EVE WAS NOT TO BE MOTHER BEFORE THE FALL WHY DID SHE HAVE THAT ABILITY TO CONCEIVE? Her periods of conception were not multiplied before the fall, however, woman’s body was so designed that she could conceive, house and feed her young, thus woman was designed for motherhood in the original plan, not after the fall! How could we possibly believe God originally purposed for children to be called from the dust of the earth seeing how he designed man and woman in the beginning? God did not add anything to woman. He cursed what she already had, her female makeup, adding pain and suffering and a speeded up conception cycle! Furthermore, God told woman her desire should be to her own husband and he shall rule over thee. Therefore the Women’s Liberation Movement is motivated by the devil and not God. God placed as a part of the curse upon woman her husband was to rule over her. There can be no equal rights until God himself, not the Supreme Court, lifts this curse on woman. It cannot be lifted as long as she remains in that cursed flesh and her monthly cycles remaining the same proves God has not lifted that curse! All their abortions and demands will not remove the curse only heap more judgment of God once it strikes because they try to lift the curse. Will the Millennium allow women to be equal with man as before the fall? Well, we will just have to wait until that time to see.
We may wonder why has God made woman? Answer - the same purpose as in creating all other female species - that the male might be able to reproduce himself and in doing so he would use that created law or law of reproduction placed in the body of the female. The very design of woman before the fall reveals her role in motherhood, therefore once God created his first pair of specie from the dust of the earth, never again do we see him follow this process however, as he instructed each specie upon their creation, a blessing was pronounced and God said be fruitful and multiply. (Gen. 1:22) Thus we see his creative purpose with each specie - one masculine, the other feminine. It is similar to that creative power by which he used in producing his first pair, only God now sets forth another creative law into operation, placing it in this time within the body of the female allowing them to carry on the work of life which he himself had begun. No doubt about it, it is also a miracle creative law called law of reproduction which God uses in producing another specie after its own kind, once he had placed his first pair of each specie on earth. Yes, placing within each feminine makeup regardless to specie (including woman) his miracle creative law of reproduction and through this law God regulated that female’s seasons or cycles to conceive and produce life - but only after her kind. Therefore we see woman’s feminine makeup in the beginning long before the fall was designed to mother life before and after birth. Throughout the animal kingdom, irregardless to specie, we now realize why it was necessary for him to form one of his creatures with that of a feminine nature and not simply a counterpart to the masculine for the word counterpart means ‘another such as the first part.’ Instead God made a female - a co-part. Co-part means to share, therefore the masculine could reproduce itself and in so doing God established this beautiful, divine miracle law within the bodily structure of each feminine specie and wherever that divine law is tampered or mutilated you can rest assured Satan who is a perverter is behind it.
Had not sin nor disobedience toward this particular act entered into the picture undoubtedly the sex act would have been looked upon and reverenced by the Eternal God that in all probability the act itself could have been openly discussed without condemnation as freely as one would eating a meal. However, there has been implanted in man’s mind the fact of a guilt complex - because of the way it was done. We note an amazing thing found within the animal kingdom, not found in the human family simply because the animal kingdom has not sinned, polluted nor ever perverted that sexual act of God which carried his creative law of reproduction - there is found no guilt complex derived from this act throughout any of the animal kingdom.
WOMB AND THE PERFECT CHILD
To me this is the subject which leads us far deeper into an overall understanding concerning God’s redemptive act wherein he chose a young virgin, planted a righteous seed in her womb and brought forth the life of a perfect man in the flesh who also was perfect in the essence of God in the Spirit, and yet explains how this perfect man could be born of woman without being a sinner. Baby Jesus illustrates what each child would have been had the original purpose in the sex act been observed. Each life would have been as obedient as his own while in the veins of each child would have flowed Eternal Life. Had speaking life into existence been the original perfect plan of God to bring perfect children in the world after the creation by his first couple why did he not speak the perfect son the second Adam, the Lord of Glory into existence? Instead, why did God choose the womb of a woman for his little body to be housed in? Later in the message we desire to show how it was possible for Christ the perfect man to have been born of woman, born from a seed and still there been no possibility of inherited sin flowing in his bloodstream, traveling through the hereditary law which works death in both the male and female. Jesus was perfect man and perfect God yet he was born of woman. (Gal. 4:4) WHY? Because woman has always been ordained to mother or bear life, while man was ordained to plant that seed of life. It was Woman God ordained to mother that perfect physical life into the body called Christ while here upon earth.
To discuss the mystery of this revelation concerning what I believe to be taught in the Bible and preached by the Church Age Prophet Messenger on this subject begin with me in Gen. 1:26-27. Almighty God has already created his three basic forms of life, plant, marine and animal and now turns his attention toward creating a higher specie of the animal kingdom - one which would rule over the animal kingdom - this creation God calls man or the beginning of the human family. We might add here the serpent being the most intelligent and shrewd of the animal kingdom stood with his mate at the head of this creation before God decided to concentrate on making a creature above him which he called man. In verse 26 we hear God say to his angelic host, those who had assisted him in creation. “Let us make man in our image and in our likeness. Therefore in the image of God created he him, male and female created he them.” (Verse 27) Having made man in his own image with intelligence and wisdom, man was invested with certain attributes of God who was his creative father. Naturally, as an earthly child who is begotten of an earthly father will inherit or bear certain earthly attributes of that father likewise man and woman created in the very image and likeness of God through a divine act will also inherit certain fatherly characteristics which are derived from God their father, will he not? Begin begotten of him will cause them to have transmitted into their very spirit being certain characteristics of their father whereby they might exemplify or express their father in the earth as their father’s offspring or otherwise he could never be addressed father seeing the term denotes to beget something or bring forth something into being. Within his two offsprings will dwell certain characteristics which exemplify or manifest the true makeup of their father, God.
Verse 28 reveals Adam and the woman, once having been placed in the Garden, were blessed and given a commission, a commission which holds a key to the mystery of life and how that life was to be brought into existence. For here it was beloved, with this commission God transmitted certain authority unto them. Undoubtedly he communicated his very purpose and plan in creating them in this manner, one being male, the other female, for it was none other than God himself who spoke these words unto his young couple saying, “Be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth and subdue it.” Do you think for one moment that God had issued them a commission and failed to grant them knowledge of how it was to be accomplished, that is, how were they to be fruitful; how are they to multiply and replenish the earth and subdue it? Were Adam and Eve ignorant to the how of this commission?
REPLENISH AND SUBDUE THE EARTH
What did God mean by (1) replenishing and (2) subduing the earth? Replenishing means to refill. To refill an object something had to be in the object before else it would not be a re-filling. In this word lies a clue that something had been on this planet before in order for it to be replenished. No one can doubt the earth was not full before the flood. Here Adam and Eve receive a commission to replenish or refill the earth denoting something had already been here on the earth before. After the flood (Gen. 9:1) Noah received the same commission of replenishing the earth.
To SUBDUE a thing, in this case, means to bring everything on earth into subjection; you are the master and you are to control it. Later we shall examine how man did subdue the earth and for what purpose. Take a long hard look at this commission - Be fruitful and multiply and refill the earth - God never said what to do when it reached 3.7 billion, did he? He never said when you reach that point STOP, did he? Look out upon the earth today and see how a terrified scientific field of population experts (so called) predict despair and gloom unless something is done quickly. Every conceivable means has been derived to try and end that commission. Truly every sign points to our living in the final hour of the fulfillment of that commission doesn’t it? Perhaps an article clipped from the daily paper will better illustrate the perilous situation we face today.
‘MATERNITY ADDICTS’ BLAMED ON MAGAZINES
By MARGARET SCHERFF
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON - Popular magazines may be creating “maternity addicts” with their emphasis on stories glorifying motherhood, a Senate panel was told Tuesday.
And the magazines’ preoccupation with such stories may be “due to concern for child-and-home-centered advertisers,” suggested a witness at a hearing of the Senate Labor and Public Welfare Subcommittee.
The subcommittee is considering legislation to “establish a national policy to encourage and develop at the earliest possible time policies which will stabilize the population by voluntary means.”
Miss Ellen Peck, author of the book “The Baby Trap,” cited Redbook, Good Housekeeping, Ladies Home Journal and McCall’s for what she said their frequent use of such fiction formulas as “baby saves marriage” and “face pregnancy with courage.”
Among the examples given by Miss Peck: “Good Housekeeping ... tells the tale of a girl who’s suddenly thrown uptight in her fourth year of marriage by the reappearance in town of her husband’s glamorous ex-girlfriend. But ‘... the prayed-for, unhoped-for miracle happened. We were going to have a baby, And the story comes out all right.”
Miss Peck declared: “In view of the demographic and nutritional projections, the continuing pro-natalist attitudes of the ladies’ magazines are grossly irresponsible and grossly anti-social.”
Advertisers may be partly responsible for the prevalence of stories glorifying motherhood, she suggested.
“If babies are good business for Gerber, multiple babies are multiply so,” she said. “And Gerber advertises in magazines such as Good Housekeeping.”
Gerber is a leading manufacturer of baby foods.
Miss Peck added: “Some have expressed a fear that our rock songs are creating drug addicts. But perhaps our rock-a-bye magazines are creating maternity addicts.”
Stuart Udall, former secretary of the interior, said government family-planning programs, such as those of the Office of Economic Opportunity, “reach only the poor and therefore... they constitute no population policy at all.”
He said that “while the poor and near poor contribute one-third of our annual births, the non-poor contribute two-thirds.”
Such things are rapidly becoming a psychological language to condition people’s minds to that which is about to take place. Motherhood is fast becoming a thing looked down on rather than something looked up to and esteemed to hold virtue. What does it all mean - it means at the end of 6000 years mankind feels he can no longer trust God concerning his great commission, be fruitful and multiply etc. Therefore, today because of the vast population explosion facing us, certain carnal minded medical scientists having no knowledge of God’s plans for the future of the world, guided and motivated only by their own fears and alarm at what they see, would have us to believe it to be shameful and disgraceful for a family to have more than two children. Latest poll results reveal the country is rapidly losing interest in desiring large families. An announcement was made that certain senators because of the tremendous population explosion throughout the world were actually trying to instigate a bill whereby there would be a penalty if more than two children were born per family. It may very well be that the day will come such a bill would gain foothold, becoming a law. Yes, because of this overly populated world motherhood is frowned upon while sex which produces mothers is given the freest reign it has ever received. If the scientists would only believe the word of God they would stop this tomfoolery they are promoting, there would be no fear of a double increase in population of seven billion people on this already crowded earth in just 35 years, or 2000 A.D.
CHAOTIC JUDGMENT IMPLIED IN MATT. 24
Our Lord Jesus while here upon earth did not explain in full what he had in mind concerning what was coming upon the earth that would wipe out the greater percentage of the population, yet he predicted a period of time would come as never had been on the face of the earth wherein hardly any flesh would be saved (alive), nevertheless, for the elect’s sake of that hour these days, he said, would be shortened in order that there would be flesh left alive (Matt. 24:21-22) Jesus Christ declared a great chaotic judgment of God would hit this planet and beloved it will visit this planet mainly because of what man has done in his attempt to put an end to this great commission given by God himself unto his first couple. Population experts with no leadership of God now scream to - SLOW DOWN THIS FLOW OF HUMAN LIFE ONTO THIS PLANET OR PAY A GREAT CONSEQUENCE - indicating the oncoming masses can never be cared for, therefore who is man obeying in 1972? God’s commission has not changed even if we do have 3.7 billion and expect to double that in 35 short years! Will man obey God or will he follow the fears of so-called biological population experts?
Throughout the world it would appear that God’s great commission has been tossed to the wind as everything has been thrown into effect or in reverse to slow down this incoming flow of human life, while at the same time, and this is what seems so unethical, the world is being encouraged through education, religion and science not to slow down on their sexual activity (especially the unmarried) but on the contrary the unmarried who already produce 1 out of every 13 children, are being encouraged today more than ever to engage in such activities to their hearts content and if conception occurs they are now being and shall be more so toward the end, encouraged to have what is now referred to as a simple operation requiring perhaps 15-30 minutes by skilled, trained hands of a physician. The world calls it abortion. However, since the scriptures teach life begins at conception God would call it murder!
LIVING UNDER TREE OF LIFE WOULD HAVE PREVENTED TWO PROBLEMS
As the commission was handed to man and told to subdue this earth, we must say this he has done although not for God as he was instructed but for his own sinful selfish, evil gain and look what has followed in his footsteps of evil, selfish ways - a polluted and corrupt environment! Look at the pollution he has left in his path as he subdued it, he corrupted it! Therefore God by his own word is compelled not only to judge mankind because (1) he seeks to snatch the commission from the hand of God and adjust it as he pleases to fit his own need but (2) he must also judge and chasten him for subduing the earth for his own evil purpose instead of glorifying God. God will judge him because he has literally polluted and corrupted the earth in his process of subduing it!
As the first Adam was placed in the Garden and commissioned to be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth, had that first sexual relationship been guided and inspired by God as it should have been there would never have existed any problem concerning a population explosion nor pollution problem. The Almighty himself would have governed and guided every cycle of life. You may find it hard to believe nevertheless God would have instructed them when through this cycle of life he had carefully placed in the woman’s makeup to govern these times of life. You say, I do not believe God would have governed or shown them when time was to be brought together. This law taking effect in certain seasons or cycles was what God would have used to prompt them.
Beloved, there are many statements in the word of God indicating God instructs his people to do certain things. One such scripture is found in Matthew 28:19, God ye into all the world and preach the gospel - however, because he said it does it mean you are to take off running? By no means! For the same gospel that said GO - in Romans 8 says, For as many as are led by the spirit of God they are the Sons of God. Whether you believe it or not God will lead you into everything he wants done, but only at his proper time and season! Where Satan continually agitates and harasses us is through our impatience to wait on God, causing us to run ahead of him. Impatience is what Satan caused in the Garden! A commission was handed to man in the Garden and God would have instructed him (through the law of reproduction) when to carry out the commission, however Satan caused them not to wait for the divine purpose but to run ahead and because of this, the world for 6000 years has paid dearly in suffering, sorrow, misery and death. Be fruitful and multiply was the commission however you wait until I show you when to carry it out. GO YE into the world to preach the gospel however, wait until I show you where to go.
CHRIST THAT PERFECT EXAMPLE WAITED ON THE FATHER
No example of man waiting stands out more beautifully than that of the perfect Son, the Lord Jesus our perfect example showing now humanity should wait upon the Father, doing nothing other than what the Father showed them. Such an act illustrates the full obedience of a perfect son. A father might instruct his son to cut hay, nevertheless if the son did not wait for instructions when to cut the hay he might cut it on a rainy day. Christ the Second Adam, the Lord of Glory who was brought into this world to conquer sin, disease and death left this perfect testimony behind - I DO NOTHING UNTIL THE FATHER SHOWS ME. Though all authority to execute judgment lay within our perfect example, he still did nothing other than what the Father showed him or better still he did it only at the time revealed of the Father. Being that obedient Son, that perfect example which he was illustrates how each offspring of God should say Father, according to your word I know I am to do this or that, yet please direct me. Taking these two balancing lines of scriptural thought, one being the commission of go while the other was Wait until you are led of the Father, produces for us even a more clear example of this picture.
DESIGN OF COUPLE DENOTES PURPOSE
God ordaining and commissioning man to be fruitful, multiply and replenish the earth long before the fall ever occurred proves under God’s original plan man was to become a father likened unto himself. Furthermore, Adam’s first prophecy concerning the role of womanhood revealed man shall leave his father and mother and cleave unto himself a wife and they two should be one flesh! No doubt about it, under God’s original creative act he ordained that every son of his would be a father for the purpose of continuing to transmit that breath of life given to him. Life comes from God and Adam full of Eternal Life had sprung directly from God and through the act of sex that life would be transmitted to others. Therefore God ordained that man should be a father just as he ordained woman giving her the bodily makeup he did to be a mother of all mankind. Recall Eve means the mother of all living! Yes, woman was ordained to be the mother of all living. God designed these bodies in the manner he did for one purpose, he intended to transmit life through them; Seeing how God designed both man and woman in the beginning I cannot understand how anyone could possibly feel God’s original intention or purpose would be to use these creatures in calling offspring from the dust of the earth as they themselves had been called! No doubt about it, God chose this sexual act in the very beginning (not after the fall) as his only chosen route of producing life in the earth. I cannot see a holy God creating two creatures with bodies in the manner he did then using them for some other purpose in bringing life into the world especially when we know life itself is derived from no other act! Not only mankind, but every living creature in animal life has come into existence through this route! God not only placed in man the seed of life, he also invested in him the authority to subdue the earth. In him was placed that ability to dress the entire earth causing all the earth to one day blossom into the likeness of the beautiful Garden of Eden. However, observing the situation today, 6000 years later, man has subdued the earth alright but in doing so He corrupted it!
Suppose after man received his commission he would simply have taken off on his own, not waiting upon any leadership of God whatsoever - are you aware what would have happened? Exactly the same that happened when the church went to the Nicea Council in 325 A.D. No, don’t ever think God brought the church to the Nicea Council. God never ordained that she go. It was Satan who began to instill into the human minds of that hour - you are not getting the world evangelized fast enough, here I will show you how it is done. That my friend is what Satan always wants you to do. God has said do something, Satan says you are not getting the job done, it isn’t going fast enough. I will show you how to get it done faster. Sure there are times when God allows his people to be very pressing however, note in his word he speaks concerning a certain spiritual thing that is to be done or accomplished then once this is stated God simply sits back and waits to observe and see if man is willing to wait out God’s purpose and time for this thing to be accomplished or will he, as always, simply run ahead. Beloved if man would only patiently wait God’s opportune season to take effect much could be accomplished for his glory however, usually the very minute you try to step ahead saying I think by faith we should go ahead and do it this way, you are certain to mess up. Wait on God, he who gave the commission will not fail you. He will guide you successfully every time he desires something accomplished.
Reading the scriptures we note how slowly yet accurately God spoke every creature out of the ground. In his program of creation he accomplished only so much each day and remember these days were not periods of 24 hours either because the sun which regulates time itself was not brought into existence until sometime on the fourth day. Therefore, out of the ground came the first original pair of everything. Knowing God does not deal in crossbreeding up came the first original horse, cow, deer etc., both male and female - of each creature he made two. Sure, because it was his original plan to set that law of reproduction into motion and by governing that law he would (as he still does within his animal kingdom) bring his two creatures together only at that appointed time once the cycle of life was in motion and thereby produce himself another offspring. The life of each male was to be transferred into another vessel of clay, and where did this physical life begin to form - in the body of the female which had been designed for this purpose, of course!! Therefore through that proper cycle of life another life is being brought into existence and it is all in accordance with God’s original divine law of creating another offspring of that same particular specie, for recall it was God who stated - let everything bear after its own kind and Adam and Eve was of no exception seeing they received a personal commission, be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth. I do not believe the young couple would have had to look in the face of God and say, just how father is this to be accomplished? It was instilled in their minds the true understanding of their purpose in this life and why the father had designed them in the fashion they were. There is no logical scriptural reason not to believe (1) Adam was fully aware that this intimate act was solely for the purpose of reproduction and (2) it was God’s ordained original route in producing himself another son or daughter and (3) furthermore Adam was fully aware that he must await that proper hour for Eve’s cycle of life to be set in motion in order to fulfill his calling!
DAVID PROVES STAIN OF ORIGINAL ACT CARRIED OVER
People will contend - God will forgive. Yes, he will forgive but that act carries a penalty and to show you there is a penalty look what your poor father and mother did in the garden and even today you are still bearing the stain of it! Notice how David in Psalms 51:5 shows we bear the stains of that act - in a statement involving himself and his own mother, David said I was shapen in iniquity and in sin did my mother conceive. This has been most confusing to many people - just what did David mean, was he saying he was conceived in fornication? What did he mean by “in sin did my mother conceive me?” Was David’s mother and father not legally joined together as man and wife? Certainly they were! However since Adam and Eve used this act for the purpose of pleasure instead of God’s divine purpose in bringing forth another person full of eternal life into the earth and using this act before God’s time, what did it cause? It brought imputed sin and death into man’s blood stream. Think of it, that which could have been eternal life flowing through the veins of man, now has to be death! And it is through this act that life which is in the blood is transferred from one generation to another because the seed of man and egg of woman is full of death! Therefore seeing the curse has been placed upon the human race’s bloodstream it now becomes impossible during this life to be able to fulfill any part of the original law of life or tree of life although this act still remains to be the act of relationship, it cannot produce anything now but death! No where within one human being lies a pure gene of life or pure egg, therefore in order for Christ himself to be born full of Eternal Life God had to create both, a perfect gene and egg! Hence Psalms 51:5 could in no way apply to Christ, for he was not born in sin for had he been, sin would have been in his blood and there would have been death there instead of Eternal life. Although Hebrews 13:4 declares marriage is honorable in all and the bed undefiled nevertheless because of that imputed sin penalty of death, it still remains impossible for any woman to conceive by her legal husband and bring forth eternal life because eternal life is forever blocked by the presence of sin and death in the bloodstream, thus every child including David was shapen in iniquity meaning the very moment that little fetus begins forming within the womb of its mother, because of that hereditary law, sin was immediately transported into his life and the very act itself carries with it the death penalty for every conceived individual! Therefore when David said I was shapen in iniquity and in sin did my mother conceive me, he had no actual reference to the act itself, only to that sin and death which was present when the act was committed which conceived him. It is the act itself which brings forth that is condemned to die, and it’s only hopes of eternal life lies within the atonement work of Jesus Christ who was brought forth under the law of the tree of life, He being the only righteous branch that tree or law has ever produced and to produce this perfect son from a perfect gene and perfect egg, God chose a virgin womb, and we are truly grateful for that one perfect man who was born of woman, but born under that perfect law or tree of life showing it was God’s original purpose to use the sex route to produce eternal life. God permitting him to be born of woman without sin making him eligible to be able to do something for all of us who without our consent came into life, through conception, shapened in iniquity and born in sin waiting only one alternative and that was once sin had finished its course it would bring forth death! This one born of woman, same as all the rest of us, came and walked on our level, tested in every way which pertained to his calling and purpose, yet knew no sin, tasted death for each of us who were so full of death - that we might be made the righteousness of God, reinstated with God for eternal life! Nevertheless, as far as our fleshly body is concerned the work of its redemption must wait until the resurrection, however that does not mean we are not already sons of God. As John the Beloved stated in 1st John 3:1-2, “Beloved, what manner of love hath the father bestowed upon us that we should be called the sons of God, therefore the world knoweth us not because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God and it doeth not yet appear what we shall be but we know that when he shall appear we shall be like him for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself even as he is pure.” (See our message on MANIFESTED SONS OF GOD.)
THE TESTING OF BOTH ADAMS CENTERED AROUND CALLING ONLY
Both the first and second Adam were men with special purposes in this earth and note they were tested only around their calling and purpose in the earth. When the scripture says “was in all points tested like as we, yet without sin,” Heb. 4:15, - this did not mean to imply that he was tested and tempted in the many multitude of things such as you and I, NO, for all of his temptations stemmed strictly around his calling and purpose as was the first Adam’s temptation. God had commissioned the first Adam to be fruitful and multiply - somehow it must be this commission that Satan tries to get the first Adam away from, just as the Second Adam was always trying to be pulled away from his calling and purpose in the earth. Matt. 4, Mark 1 and Luke 4 show the temptations of Christ and they all center around one thing - his calling and purpose in the earth and not the many multitude of temptations which you and I face.
GOD DISSATISFIED WITH FIRST BIRTH DEMANDS NEW ONE
Think of it, not one human soul in all those born on earth was ever fortunate to be born with eternal life but Christ himself! Therefore we see eternal life still came through a birth! One must be born again, John 3:3-7. James declares we should receive with meekness the engrafted word which is able to save our souls. James 1:21. Christ is the only person ever born of woman who already had eternal life. The germ of life or gene and the egg of woman that produced him were perfect thus creating one perfect child. However had the knowledge of the tree of life been accepted by man over that of the fruit of which they partook though it would have still surrounded the act, each child would have been filled with eternal life. Under either tree or law, the woman could conceive provided the cycle of life was in motion - one law producing eternal life, the other producing death. Eating from the wrong tree or wrong law stemming from a selfish motive meant the serpent had caused Eve to partake of that which was holy and pure in God’s sight for strictly another motive, that of pleasure! She then takes this knowledge and through much coaxing persuades Adam (who was determined to wait out God’s appointed time) to partake of the act she had discovered through secrecy with the serpent.
Gen. 3:7 declares after the act had been committed strictly for another purpose other than that of the divine will of God and at a time when God himself had not brought them together although it was in the time of her cycle of life, the eyes of both were opened and they knew they were naked and sewed fig leaves together and made aprons. Is it not strange though having never worn clothes before they knew where the aprons should go or which part of the body should be covered? Had they partaken of some fruit by the mouth and felt so guilty why did they not cover the guilty area of the face or head instead of the area they covered!?
WHY CHRIST HAD TO BE BORN OF WOMAN
Since Christ was our perfect example, many things are learned from his life - had there never been any disobedience pertaining to God’s perfect law of life resulting in a transgression, each child produced from Adam’s line would have been a perfect child filled with eternal life in the same capacity as that of the Lord Jesus. Therefore you will note in order to produce a perfect child full of eternal life God still did not bypass the womb of woman. Yes, for a very precise reason he chose the womb of woman especially to bear the (perfect) Christ child. A virgin of Nazareth was used to produce a perfect little body of clay made up of cell life likened unto your own flesh (Rom. 8:2-4) in that it was composed of oxygen, carbon, hydrogen etc. However, within his bloodstream where flows the life is a far different story because no trace of sin could be found which had been transmitted into this little vessel of life nor from the egg of woman. These two components being all that was needed to father a perfect child - yet no one within the human race had either! Sure, in Spirit, Christ was God who fathered himself this perfect vessel of clay, a temple or perfect body of man by the means of (1) a perfect created gene of life and (2) creating within Mary a perfect egg to receive that perfect gene. Don’t forget Christ was perfect man as well as perfect God only here we are examining strictly the man side and seeing a perfect man and how the life of this man came through a perfect gene and perfect egg giving to him eternal life! Since no death was found in his bloodstream there could be nothing but eternal life in his flesh! Yes, in the very likeness for his body was absolutely flesh, although it was not sinful flesh! Adam and Eve could have produced exactly the same thing under the perfect law of life through God’s leadership, producing perfect children. Therefore, Christ who is spoken of in the scripture as the branch shows that original law of God through woman has produced one perfect child, while the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil under which law children by the billions have been conceived through the act of pleasure, born in sin - today number better than 3.7 billion living souls not including all the untold dead who await resurrection - the number has grown to such staggering proportions and the number expected to be born in the near future has frightened the world to the point they feel something must be done - and done quickly!
SEX, GOD’S DIRECT WILL, NOT PERMISSIVE
To prove it was not God’s original plan as some teach even within this message to bring perfect life into the world by the spoken word, ignoring the sex act completely, and that sex and the woman merely became that accepted route after the fall, all one need do is look at the man who was born of woman through that perfect seed and perfect egg. Christ’s route of birth shows it had always been God’s plan to use the perfect seed of man and egg of woman. However after the fall the seed nor egg was no longer perfect! Sexual relations under the tree of life could never have produced the sex act in any immoral manner such as fornication, adultery, or perversion in any fashion. All this immoral action stemmed from using the act for the other purpose which involved pleasure. However, let it clearly be understood that sex and sex alone was the original intended route to introduce that perfect gene of life unto the perfect egg and produce children full of eternal life (as Christ was) and that sex is not something secondary or something that ended up in his permissive will - NO, instead it was his direct will! To see that God always intended to use the womb of woman to bring forth a perfect child, all one has to do is look at the Christ child who was born from the womb of woman through a perfect seed and a perfect egg (though both in this case had to be created), otherwise how could Christ have been that perfect seed called the seed of woman, Gen. 3:15, ordained to bruise the head of the serpent if God’s only means or route to bring perfect children into the earth was to speak them into existence! Christ could never be called the seed of woman if this were true. God proved that perfection in perfect children could still come through the womb of woman when he allowed Christ the perfect manchild to be born and not created! Had Christ come into this world by any other route than through the womb of woman (the original route for all mankind) he could never have been - the seed of woman, the seed of Abraham and the son of David, because there would have been no physical ties to the human race and the redeemer had to be connected with the human race! It would make no sense for God to speak of Christ as the (perfect) seed of woman bruising the serpent’s head then speak him into existence giving him absolutely no connection to the woman whatsoever!
CHRIST THE SEED OF ABRAHAM
Generations after the flood Abraham was called to the promised land and told - in thee and thy seed (Christ - Gal. 3:16) shall all the families of the earth be blessed. If God intended through the spoken word to speak perfect children into existence in the world, how would Christ even be connected to the seed of Abraham and yet here is the beauty of it all, we realize biologically all of Abraham’s seed had a bloodstream full of imputed sin transferred through that heredity law as the act was completed, then how could he have been the seed of Abraham and not have that infected bloodstream as all the rest of Abraham’s seed? Through that perfect gene and egg of woman. God created Mary a perfect egg. According to the genealogies of Christ both Matthew and Luke trace him through the lineage of Abraham and David.
SON OF MAN
How could he be called the son of man unless he was born of woman? Not only does son of Man apply to his prophetic office, it applies also to the very fact he took upon himself the form of man and being man he was the son of woman (though not son of SINFUL man) yet in essence of flesh he was the son of man. Before the fall each child being born through the sexual act would have been born sinless, perfect, having no sickness flowing in their veins. Basically, in the veins of all humans flows disease which we pass on to our children and our children pass on to theirs. However, under the true intended way of birth there would have never been any death or sickness in the blood veins because eternal life would have been there. Jesus, born of the creative gene and egg, allowed him a pure, perfect bloodstream. He could know no sickness. God added the very cell-like structure in Christ’s body that makes up the very origin of flesh when he took on the form of man. Although if our blood (not his) was placed under a microscope there would be every kind fo basic germ that destroys life and were it not for the ingredients within the blood which fight off these diseases, these germs would kill us in only a matter of time. Whenever the healing laws within our body become weakened, these very microscopic diseases go to work and death begins to take its toll. However, in the blood of Jesus no sickness or death could be found. In no way was death working or reigning in his flesh, he was that perfect man born of woman. Why then, you ask, did he die? He was ordained to die! Not from an imputed death penalty as was on the human race - he was ordained to die the death that Adam should have died, because had Adam died God would have destroyed his sole means of bringing his human family into being. Adam’s days were prolonged with life for awhile in order to set in motion the pattern for his children to be born, however each one born from woman after the curse was born with imputed death and sin attributes added yet when God brought in his redemption (Christ) to fulfill the seed of woman, seed of Abram and son of David, also son of man, in flesh he was perfect man and in spirit he was perfect God. He was the second Adam created, begotten of the Father to do one thing. Adam had brought death into the world, thus condemning the entire race. As life is carried through the bloodstream it was condemned life. This second Adam came to undo what the first Adam brought upon us (Read Rom. 5:12-21).
I have no doubt because some see how debase the human relationship has become they have accepted the attitude or feeling such a thing could never have been in God’s original plan but had to be a permissive act only. Yet recall Satan is the one who brought about the evil in the act, not God! The act itself is not evil, it is the usage of the act which has made the evil! I repeat, it is the usage of the act through fornication, adultery and perversion that has made the evil. Often I have heard people say, money is the root of all evil yet that is not what the Bible says. It says, the love of money is the root of all evil - get it straight. When you do there is a difference! To some Psalms 51:5, might sound as though David was saying the relation itself was evil. Again, I say get it straight. That is not the way to interpret it. David is only saying that once sin and death was imputed into the bloodstream, the act absolutely could not be conducted without every child being conceived and begotten in sin and death being present.
THE FAITH FOUND IN 2ND TIM. 4:1
Because of these misconstrued ideas of sex being a secondary plan that God was stuck with we have teachers today who instruct young people they should avoid marriage thus avoiding the relationship between husband and wife. Paul, the great teacher and apostle to the gentile church had much to say along these lines and nowhere did he in any manner condemn the marriage bed. On the contrary in 1st. Tim. 4:1 (Heb. 13:4) Paul says that in the last days some would depart from the faith - that faith spoken of here is the true revelated faith of the last day we would be restored back to by a prophet to this age. Paul says (these teachers will be) giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils - and would be teaching people they should abstain from marriage when Paul had already taught the marriage bed was undefiled but adulterers and fornicators God would judge. (Heb 13:4)
FALSE TEACHERS PROMOTE TWO DOCTRINES OF DEVILS
At one time people thought this scripture applied to the Catholic Church who taught celibacy, however, there are so many thousands of priests today from America and other countries complaining so much to the Pope concerning this ruling to the church that eventually a new set of rules will have to be made or they will loose so many men from the ministry the church will suffer greatly. Pope Paul has already testified that this has become his greatest burden and thorn. No, beloved, this scripture is not speaking of Catholicism nor Protestantism who in the last days has departed from the revelated faith of apostolic truth. They never departed from the original faith because they were never in the faith to depart from it. This deals with a people who have been restored to the faith and is departing and one of their teachings is forbidding to marry while the other will be to abstain from meats! God could not choose himself a Bride until he had restored the faith back in its proper perspective. Then according to Paul some would depart form the faith. God intended that time would drift on long enough after the restoration to the true faith that this scripture would be fulfilled.
No, departing from denominationalism is not departing from the true faith, they were never in a true faith from which to depart! If a teacher rose up teaching the true faith he would be kicked out. According to Paul these would be teachers projecting certain doctrines who had departed from the true faith! Seducing spirits and doctrines of devils - I am glad Paul labeled them what they are - speaking lies in hypocracy, having their conscience seared with a hot iron - which means once that conscience has been perverted, molded or shaped into that doctrine or teaching of devils it would be most difficult for them to get other revelations concerning truth. Yes, these teachers who have doctrines of devils will be forbidding to marry and furthermore instructing those who are married legally in the sight of God to refrain from relations with their mates!
Since Paul started this, let us see what more he has on the subject. Recall, what Paul says deals strictly with the people in the true faith, that faith to which we have been restored in this endtime. 1st Cor. 7:1-5 dealing on the subject of marriage Paul states enough that should assist any god-fearing married couple, guiding them in their relations - it is good for a man not to touch a woman (meaning have no relations) nevertheless to avoid fornication let every man have his own wife and let every woman have her own husband. Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence for the wife hath no power over her own body but the husband - or as Williams translation says, the wife does not have the right to do as she pleases with her own body. The husband has his right. Another fine translation says, a wife cannot claim her body as her own, it is her husbands. “Likewise the husband has no power over his own body but the wife. Defraud ye not one the other” - Moffitt translation states, do not withhold sexual relation from the other. Williams translation states, you husbands and wives must stop refusing each other what is due, only except it be consent for a time. Lam, translation says unless it is only temporarily and it is by mutual consent. “That you give yourselves to fasting and prayer and come together again - that Satan tempt you not in your incontinency.” Moffitt translation clarifies it by saying, lest through your lack of self-control Satan begin to tempt you to sin. I would remind you the only grounds Paul gives unto the married in abstinence for any length of time is to be strictly for prayer and fasting. Then he says, come together again or resume relations as before. Is it not strange that in this endtime or latter day Satan is instructing the married they should abstain and to the unmarried he says they should indulge as freely as they please!!
Surely we stand at the end of all that this accepted tree or law of good and evil has produced but what new evil lurks in the shadows!
