First
lesson – Hidden Manna & Genesis 33
So with many illustrations of that sort he would speak the word to them, as far
as they were able to listen. 34
Indeed, without an illustration he would not speak to them, but privately to
his disciples he would explain all things (Mark 4). So Jesus opened up his symbolic parables for his disciples
only, but not for the public at large. By speaking symbolically, those who did not
want to believe that he was God’s son, could write off his speech as
meaningless ramblings about farm animals and horticulture. They would therefore
never get to know God’s plans for men. So those who do not believe in God do
not want to believe in him because they do not want God to exist. They do not
want him to exist, because if he does exist then they fear that they will have
to serve him and obey him, rather than serving and obeying their own desires.
They do not know that God is a kinder master to them than their own desires are.
Dear reader, do not make this mistake. God gave you your desires to enjoy them
whilst controlling them! He did not give you them to replace him! Jesus said in his sermon on the mount: 8
Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God (Matthew 5). The pure in heart do not see God physically, because no
man can see God and yet live. They see him with their minds, for he is
one short step of reason away. But what does it mean to have a pure heart? Well
everyone has impure thoughts, immoral thoughts, and hateful thoughts. And every
man utters impure words, immoral words and hateful words. James tells us: 2
If anyone does not stumble in word, this one is a perfect man (James 3). And there are no perfect men amongst the sons of Adam.
So plainly a pure heart does not mean that we only think sinless thoughts. No, a
pure heart is one that can divorce the truth from any preconceived personal
consequences to our status that the truth may have. It is simply a true academic
heart, an honest heart. If you are willing to admit you may be wrong about
something even if it means losing your job or your status or even your own
humility, you have a pure heart. God has intentionally written the bible so that His enemies will find it
boring and unproductive for learning. All
of the praise in the bible is not because God has a big ego and needs a whole
lot of it!! It is there merely to sort the sheep from the goats. He has
given to everybody a book about his past dealings with his friends, who lived
thousands of years ago, who had many camels and lived in tents and had children
and basically did the sort of things that everybody else did back then. This is
of no great consequence to the enemies of God. It just looks like an out of date
soap opera, written by someone who they do not like. Of what interest to a 20th or
21st century currency speculator is it that Esau lost his
birthright to Jacob for a bowl of soup, or that he crossed the Jabbok with 200
female sheep and 20 rams? This sort of information is hardly the sort of
thing that would come up on his Reuters screen. But hidden in amongst all of the banal, mundane and everyday
tribulations of these friends of God, is the whole of his military plan for
saving mankind from sin and death and removing Satan as the God of this world.
The plan for men to regain the birthright that Adam lost, namely everlasting
human and angelic life as we will demonstrate for you. 22
He is revealing the deep things and the concealed things, knowing what is in the
darkness; and with him the light does dwell (Daniel 2). We are looking at the whole book as being effectively written by one
person, because Paul tells us that it was: 16
All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for
setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness (2 Timothy 3). And Peter tells us: 21
For prophecy was at no time brought by man’s will, but men spoke from God as
they were borne along by holy spirit (2 Peter 1). So now
that we know God was the writer of the bible where does this all lead us?
What about these parables and illustrations?
Solomon said: 2
The Glory of God is the keeping of a matter secret, and the glory of kings is
the searching through a matter (Proverbs 25). 4
If you keep seeking for it as for silver, and as for hid treasures you keep
searching for it, So this
knowledge is hidden. And it is hidden in the bible, for Paul says of Jesus: 3
Carefully concealed in him are all the treasures of wisdom and of knowledge
(Colossians 2). Well, these treasures are not stuffed up his shirt or down his trousers,
although in a sense, they are in his body, which is his church. Basically they
are hidden in the information we have on him. This information is the bible. For
we know and understand that Jesus is the word of God, which is also 'the bible'.
Paul describes how it is hidden and revealed: 7
But we speak God's wisdom in a sacred secret, the hidden wisdom, which God
foreordained before the systems of things for our glory (1 Corinthians 2). 10
For it is to us God has revealed them through his spirit, for the spirit
searches into all things, even the deep things of God (1 Corinthians 2). So again we see that wisdom is hidden in this book, concealed or for
lack of a better word, coded. For a code is defined as hidden written
information. This is why Jesus says: 2
There is nothing carefully concealed that will not be revealed, and secret that
will not become known (Luke 12). 7
Keep on asking, and it will be given you; keep on seeking, and you will find;
keep on knocking, and it will be opened to you (Matthew 7). And really you do not have to look that far. But you do have to look,
yourself! For God said to Adam: 19
In the sweat of your face you will eat bread (Genesis 3) And Jesus said
to Satan: 4
But in reply he said: It is written, 'Man must live, not on bread alone, but on
every utterance coming forth through God's mouth' (Matthew 4) From the two of which it is not hard to deduce that we will digest God's
word in the sweat of our faces as well as digesting bread in this way. Gabriel said to
Daniel: 4
And as for you, O Daniel, make secret the words and seal up the book, until the
time of [the] end. Many will rove about, and the [true] knowledge will become
abundant (Daniel 12). We are now in
this time; this website is the proof as we will soon open up the
scriptures for you. Daniel said to
Nebuchadnezzar: 28
However, there exists a God in the heavens who is a Revealer of secrets, and he
has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what is to occur in the final part of the
days (Daniel 2). And not only to
him! But also to Jesus, who opened up the minds of his disciples: 45
Then he opened up their minds fully to grasp the meaning of the Scriptures (Luke
24). It is quite a
task. 25
The woman said to him: I know that Messiah is coming, who is called Christ.
Whenever that one arrives, he will declare all things to us openly. So the
scriptures do not declare things openly, but the Christ opened them up. So the
scriptures have hidden meanings and there is a bible within the bible!
Jesus opened up these scriptures to their minds. Paul describes
one particular account in Genesis as a symbolic drama: 22
For example, it is written that Abraham acquired two sons, one by the servant
girl and one by the free woman; Hagar stood for the Law covenant mediated by Moses and Sarah for the new
covenant mediated by Jesus, described as Paul’s mother. But what is so special
about this particular account in Genesis? Is it the only one to be a symbolic
drama? And what is so special about Genesis in the Old Testament. Might there
not be some symbolic dramas in Exodus? In fact, we know that the bible is a
consistent book having but one ghost writer - if you will pardon the metaphor!
So we know the whole book, the bible, stands as one giant symbolic drama. I would also like to show you the shortest parable in the bible which
is: 33
Another illustration he spoke to them: The kingdom of the heavens is like
leaven, which a woman took and hid in three large measures of flour, until the
whole mass was fermented/leavened (Matthew 13). Ok, you young paduan learners! If it is the most insignificant and
smallest of the parables in the whole bible, then what does this tell you about
its spiritual meaning in this upside down world in which we live? Yes, it is the greatest of them all in meaning. Well, the event
symbolic meaning is as follows: The woman is the Holy Spirit, the leaven is the
hidden meanings in the bible, and the three lumps of flour are the literal,
event symbolic and the account (or word) symbolic meanings of the bible. When the whole
mass is fermented/leavened (deduced), then we can truly eat the whole book and
see the hidden meanings and the truth and God and the true religion and his plan
and his love and his humor and his righteousness, and our total and utter
pretentiousness and stupidity stretching over 3500 years. This leaven is not the wicked teachings of the Pharisees but is rather
the good teachings of the true priesthood of God. This website is the result of
such leaven. We are expanding the bread of heaven to make it fully digestible. I struggled in my effort to determine where to begin with this
undertaking in revealing the hidden manna
since the bible is so big and so tall, and after careful thought it occurred to
me, why not start in the beginning by opening some of Genesis.
After all, it is one of the most controversial sections of the book! So
without further ado…… 27 And God proceeded to
create the man in his image, in God’s image he created him, male and female he
created them (Genesis 1). 26 And he made out of one [man] every nation of men, to dwell upon
the entire surface of the earth, and he decreed the appointed times and the set
limits of the dwelling of [men] (Acts 17). The conflict has always been
that the Fundamental Christian says that Adam was the first man and so
Archaeology is rubbish. The Archeologist says mankind has for a fact been around
for 30,000 years and we have good evidence that he has been around for over 2
million years, so the concept that we began with Adam 6,000 years ago (according
to biblical chronology) is rubbish and therefore Genesis is rubbish.
How do we resolve this conflict between
Science and Religion? They both cannot be right! Traditionally religious people
just throw away their reasoning capability and say, my faith tells me that the
bible is right and that is the end of it. This is a very dangerous thing to do,
it is a lazy idolatry of an illogical church doctrine, and it is selling God and
his book, the bible, short. It happens because people in general do not have the
courage of their deductions. They do not believe that they have the mental power
to climb out of the trap that has been laid for them. It has always been easier
to just shrug our shoulders and say, boy, I will never understand this bible
stuff. I better leave that up to my priest and blindly follow what he tells me!
This demonstrates how easy it is persuade
others to believe doctrines that have no biblical (scriptural) basis.
The Muslim suicide bombers of the last days are busy showing us just how
dangerous religious brainwashing can be. Most, if not all people with faith,
throw away their reason when they join a religion and just accept the doctrine
of their church or mosque or synagogue etc. But Jesus did not command us to
become brainwashed idolaters of the lame spiritual understandings of priests or
rabbis or imams that only want to control us for their own purposes. He said: 37 You must love
Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your
whole mind (Matthew 22). And the first living stone that Jesus laid in
the Christian church (Peter), said... 13 Hence brace up your
minds for activity, keep your senses completely; set your hope upon the
undeserved kindness that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus
Christ (1 Peter 1). So what is the resolution to
this fundamental question?
Jesus said that we should scrutinize every
little detail of every scripture... 17 Do not think I came
to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I came, not to destroy, but to fulfill. Let us therefore apply this kind of scrutiny
to the account of the creation of mankind in Genesis 1. 26 And God went on to
say: Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness, and let them have
in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and
the domestic animals and all the earth and every moving [animal] that is moving
upon the earth. 27 And God proceeded to create the man in his image, in God's image he created him; male and female he created them 28 Further, God blessed
them and God said to them: Be fruitful and become many and fill the earth and
subdue it, and have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures
of the heavens and every living creature that is moving upon the earth (Genesis
1). Now at first sight this looks like a rather
repetitive account of the creation of mankind. But let us examine these verses a
bit closer since they may just hold the secret to our very existence within
them. 26 Let us make man in
our image according to our likeness (Genesis 1). Md)
man wnmlcb
in our image wntwmdk
according to our likeness Where b means 'in' and k means 'as', and the root Mlc means: Shade, shadow, image, likeness, and the root hmd means: Likeness. 27 And God proceeded to
create the man in his image, in God's image he created him, male and female he
created them (Genesis 1) Md)h
the man wmlcb
in his image Myhl) Mlcb
in image of God. So ‘man’ was created by 'us'
in 'our image' according to 'our
likeness', an image of several beings, but 'the
man' was created by 'God' in God's
image, an image of one being, not in 'our image'
and not according to any likeness. This is
precisely the distinction that we have just made above. Namely, 'man'
is generic, made by a plurality of Gods and made in the image of a plurality of
Gods, 'our image', whereas Adam, is unique, made by
Jehovah God himself and made in the image of the one and only God, Jehovah. So 'man'
stands for mankind, which was Homo sapiens, and 'the
man' stands for the one off Adam.
Taking this knowledge a step further, here is a comparative table of the two successive accounts of our creation. This breaks the two accounts down in an illustrative way to show the power of the omission principal of biblical understandings...(Also, scrutinize every word for they differ somewhat.)
So verse 27 and 28 are not merely a repetition
of the creative act of verse 26. Verses 27 and 28 are the creation of something
different from verse 26. Verse 26 is the creation of 'man',
of mankind, of pre-adamic man. He was created by the angels in the image of the
angels, whereas verse 27 is the creation of 'the man',
Adam, he was created by God in the image of God. God is perfect, the angels are
not, and these are two different images and therefore two different creations.
Pre-adamic man was not blessed, Adam was. Adam was blessed because he was
spiritual; the blessing truly is the everlasting inheritance as a son of God.
Adam was God's son, pre-adamic man were sons of the angels. Pre-adamic man never
did fill the earth. Adamic man, the sons of Adam certainly have - almost to
capacity right now! Adam had in subjection every living being moving upon the
earth, whereas pre-adamic man had in subjection every moving animal that is
moving upon the earth. In other words Adam was to have pre-adamic man, who was a
moving non-spiritual being (animalistic) in his subjection. Modern Archaeology has advanced to the point
where we can trace the history of man back to an origin around 2.8 million years
ago. So God introduced himself to
mankind through Adam and Eve, around 6,000 years ago, when mankind had developed
spiritually to the point where he was ready to learn directly from God. When
mankind was ready for spiritual nursery school, God introduced himself to us
through Adam and Eve. So who were Adam and Eve?
Many folks believe that Adam stands for 'all prehistoric men' and Eve
stands for 'all prehistoric women' and that these two evolved into modern man
but with some help from God. In fact Pope Paul apparently had a similar belief,
the belief that God in some way helped out with evolution. This was because the
biblical story of Adam and Eve seems at first sight to be too naive and too
simplistic to be literally true. Modern sophisticated man who believes that we
arrived here through evolution and who knows that mankind existed before Adam
finds the biblical account of our creation somewhat lacking in credibility. But such a view is incorrect for the following
two reasons at the least. Firstly God is more intelligent than us, so it is
inconceivable that we would know more about our creation than he does, so his
book must reflect this knowledge gap. Secondly, God evidently requires us to
work for our physical food and likewise he requires us to work for our spiritual
food. In other words we need to decode Genesis; we need to unravel it, to fully
understand our beginning as a species. We are now going to take you through 3
realizations. [A] Adam and Eve were real people,
a man and a woman. [B] Adam was created in precisely
the same way that Jesus was created. [C] Eve was created from a fully grown
pre-adamic woman (outside the Garden) [A] Adam and Eve
were real people, a man and a woman
23
Furthermore, Jesus himself, when he commenced [his work], was about 30 years
old, being the son, as the opinion was, of Joseph, [son] of Heli, [who was
Mary's father] 24 [son] of Matthat, [Mary's mother's father] [son] of Levi,
[Mary's mother's mother's father] [son] of Melchi, [This is the maternal line]
[son] of Jannai, [son] of Joseph,25 [son] of Mattathias,[son] of Amos,[son] of
Nahum,[son] of Esli,[son] of Naggai,26 [son] of Maath,[son] of Mattathias,[son]
of Semein,[son] of Josech,[son] of Joda,27 [son] of Joanan,[son] of Rhesa,[son]
of Zerubbabel,[son] of Shealtiel,[son] of Neri,28 [son] of Melchi,[son] of
Addi,[son] of Cosam,[son] of Elmadam,[son] of Er,29 [son] of Jesus, [son] of
Eliezer,[son] of Jorim,[son] of Matthat,[son] of Levi,30 [son] of Symeon,[son]
of Judas,[son] of Joseph,[son] of Jonam,[son] of Eliakim,31 [son] of Melea,[son]
of Menna,[son] of Mattatha,[son] of Nathan,[son] of All of these ancestors were real human beings
(except God of course), so Adam was a real human being. This line has 77
characters in it from Jesus to God inclusive. This is actually the maternal
line, with each woman represented by her husband. The maternal line merges with
the paternal line at King The Paternal line from Abraham to Jesus is
described in Matthew 1... 1 The book of the history of
Jesus Christ, son of David, son of Abraham: 15
Eliud became father to Eleazar. Eleazar became father to Matthan. Matthan became
father to Jacob. Obviously this proves that Adam was a real
human. Her are some other shorter biblical proofs 45 It is even so written: The
first man Adam became a living soul. The last Adam became a life-giving
spirit (1 Corinthians 15). [B] Adam was
created in precisely the same way that Jesus was created
7
And Jehovah God proceeded to form the man out of dust from the ground and to
blow into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man came to be a living soul. So 'the man' was formed before he was put into
the garden. Where was he before this? Was he all by himself - nowhere? Well we
know from Genesis 4 & 5 that outside the garden were the pre adamic humans.
So the formation process for Adam was rather more involved than the brief
description above. 14
Nevertheless, death ruled as king from Adam down to Moses, even over those who
had not sinned after the likeness of the transgression by Adam, who bears a
resemblance to him that was to come [Jesus]
(Romans 5:14). A striking resemblance in fact! Notice that
Paul did not say who 'bore' a resemblance, he said who
'bears' present tense, a
resemblance. This means that Adam is living to Paul for Jesus used this very
verbal tense argument to the Sadducees to show that Abraham was living to God. 31 As regards the resurrection of
the dead, did you not read what was spoken to you by God, saying, Now Paul called Jesus, the last Adam... 45 It is even so written: The
first man Adam became a living soul. The last Adam became a life-giving spirit
(1 Corinthians 15). Now if Jesus was the last Adam, then Adam was
the first Jesus. Therefore Adam was born to a surrogate mother and father as was
Jesus. Paul says further that Jesus gave himself a corresponding ransom for
all... 6
Who gave himself a corresponding ransom for all [this is] what is to be
witnessed to at its own particular times (1 Timothy 2:6).
The first Adam was God's son born by
Immaculate Conception to pre adamic parents just as Jesus was to Mary &
Joseph, the last Adam, was
God's son born to Adamic parents. The first Adam was weaned and brought up until
the age of 11 by pre adamic human parents. These guys were not Neanderthals, but
modern man (homo-sapiens). However they had not invented writing or the wheel
and had not domesticated the horse and had not achieved very much at that time.
However God took over the schooling of Adam once he was 11 years old, when he
entered the Garden of Eden and was commissioned to build the temple of his aging body which we all inhabit today. Jesus on the other hand appeared before the
Pharisees aged 11 by our reckoning but aged 12 by Hebrew reckoning and his
parents lost him for 3 days, whereas Adam's parents lost him for 22½ years,
because Adam sinned and left the garden and was returned to his parents again
aged 33½ years, the same age that Jesus was when he was murdered and paid for
Adam's sin. This is the full correspondence between Adam who sinned when he was
33½ years old and Jesus who paid for that sin when he was 33½ years old.
This will be explained in detail in a later lesson. 41 Now his parents were
accustomed to go from year to year to [C] Eve was created
from a fully grown pre-adamic woman
The situation with Eve is slightly more
complicated. The giveaway scripture is this, Adam said: This is at last bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh this one will be called Woman, because from Man this one
was taken (Genesis 2:23) We know that God took Adam's rib and formed
into Eve. But here we are told that she was taken not from 'the
man' who is Adam, but from 'man' who is
mankind in general (outside the Garden). Now we know that Eve appeared before Adam as a
fully formed woman. So what must have happened was that God formed Eve in a
surrogate mother as Adam had been formed and gave her the same genetic makeup as
Adam had in that she too had an indefinitely lasting body.
He actually gave her the body that she will have in the So as Paul would say, Just as Eve resulted
from the temporary death of Adam, so the first century church, the bride of
Christ, resulted from the temporary death of Jesus. Here is a nice table of correspondence between
the birth of Eve, Adam's wife and the birth of the New covenant saints, Jesus'
wife:
There
are two incredible and beautiful deep understandings relating to this creation
section that will be opened for you at another time. Right now we are
simply demonstrating that hidden manna does exist. I
truly hope that these basic steps have enabled you to see that there are in fact
deep hidden meanings veiled throughout the pages of the bible.
And I can't stress enough that it is up to each and every one of us to seek these matters out.
If you feel ready, you should move on to the Second Lesson.
I recommend that you try to get through one lesson each day so you have
time to digest what you eat before moving on, however, you know your own pace so
go for it when you are ready! |
