Kingdom Come

The knowledge of Creator God is clearly reflected in ancient religious writings.

Hesiod, who translated the older civilizations’ accounts of the origins of the gods / Theo-gony into the Greek culture’s version also converted the ancient Babylonian Ages of Man – historical stages of human existence– to fit Greek culture. Like Nebuchadnezzar’s statue, these began with a perfect state of existence then degraded over time, indicated symbolically with metals of successively decreasing value.

The Golden Age of Man was characterized by peace and harmony. The humans freely associated with the gods and, like them, did not have to work to feed themselves. These conditions parallel the biblical account of the first humans’ way of life in the Garden of Eden, including conversing with the serpent as a normal part of a walk in the park.

One aspect of the unity between God and both branches of his offspring that is most unfortunately missed by mainstream Christianity is the expression of gender duality.

While it is assumed from the statement “male and female created he them” that God created one of the humans with male reproductive organs and the other with female reproductive organs, that assumption doesn’t hold up to scrutiny.

“For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:” (Colossians 2:9-10)

Scientifically, chimerism is a natural condition of a single individual being both male and female.

As shown in the very ancient Hindu depiction of Shiva, a primary god, this is a key aspect not only of Father God but his spirit sons. If we don’t acknowledge this, we miss a key manifestation of spirit beings interacting with humans.

And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man [הָֽ-אָדָ֜ם] – reading backwards in Hebrew: ha adam] should be alone; I will make him an help[er] meet [appropriate] for him…And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon [the man] Adam [הָֽאָדָֽם ha-adam], and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from the man [הָֽאָדָֽם ha-adam] made he Wo-man [אִשָּׁ֔–ה  / Ishsh-ah or Iss-ah].” (Same Hebrew word, Strong’s Concordance number 802, just different dialects as also found in English.) (Genesis 2:18-24)

We can’t assume that this reference to “woman” indicates an individual with female body parts as we define the word “woman”.  Taking a close look at the text instead of our Sunday School pictures, we find the description of characteristics that Adam used to name the second human.

And [the human] Adam [הָֽאָדָֽם ha-adam] said, 

• This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh:
  • this [זֹ֣את zot] shall be called “Wo-man” [אִשָּׁ֔–ה  Is-ah or Ishsh-ah], (dialect variant)
• because this one [וַיֹּאמֶר֮ la-zot]
  • was taken “out of human” [מֵ-אִ֖ישׁ meh-is] .” (Genesis 2:23)

The same explanation of Is-ah “אִשָּׁ֔–ה Is-ah” being exactly the same as another one is found in Exodus 26 is an identical “one” coupled with another (different Hebrew word) “אַחַ֖ת one”.

“every one of the curtains shall have one measure [be identical]…coupled together one / is-ah to another.”

The Hebrew word “Ish” to refer to the perfect union in marriage.

“Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.” (Genesis 2:24)

God even refers to himself as coupled together with an identical one.

“The word of the LORD that came unto Hosea….Plead with your mother [Israel], plead: for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband: let her therefore put away her whoredoms out of her sight, and her adulteries from between her breasts…

• And it shall be at that day, saith the LORD, that thou shalt call me Ish-i [my equal partner];
• and shalt call me no more Baali [my fearful lord]…
• And I will betroth thee unto me for ever…and thou shalt know [be one with] the LORD…” (Hosea 1-2)

Setting aside all the Sunday School images and our assumptions, a straightforward explanation of scripture leads to the conclusion that both humans – the one formed from the dust of the ground and the one formed from that one’s bone – were genetically identical.

The Bible states as a fact that dividing asunder into gender differences leading to the reproductive process as we know it resulted from the woman incorporating a deadly substance into her body.

It was at that time, later in the day, that God created “male and female”.

“And the LORD God said unto the woman…Because thou hast done this…I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children…” (Genesis 3:13-16)

The name / attribute of “Eve” is not given to “the wo-man” until after genetic changes occurred from eating the fruit. This is because this name – not “woman” – is what defines her female reproductive characteristics.

“And Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.” (Genesis 3:20)

But! you protest, Adam and his wife were told to multiply before they ate the fruit, so they must have had the ability to do so.

Not a problem.

The hermaphrodite hydra “accomplishes the feat of apparent immortality by reproducing through budding rather than mating.“

This is how God reproduced himself in the first Adam, how he reproduced the second human from the first, and how redeemed humans are born again in the likeness of Jesus Christ.

He splits off some of his inexhaustible supply of Spirit / energy / power / dunamis.

“But as many as received him, to them gave he [c2] power [to act / exhousia “physical and mental power; the ability or strength with which one is endued, which he either possesses or exercises”] to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” (John 1:12-13)

The re-creation of fallen human back to perfected humans accords with the account of the cloning of the original perfect wo-man which states plainly that in the new birth / resurrection there is neither male nor female as we know it.

“For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ…is neither…male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.” (Galatians 3:27-28)

“Then come unto him the Sadducees…Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed…And the seven had her, and left no seed…In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them?…And Yahweh’s Savior/Yeshua/Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because

1) ye know not the scriptures,

Which scripture – must be Old Testament because it was available to the Sadducees before the New Testament was written – tells us that, when we rise from the dead, i.e. are fully redeemed from the power of sin and death to return to the pure likeness and image of God, that we don’t marry, i.e. raise up seed through sexual intercourse?

The only one I know is to understand Genesis 1:27 as stating that God made the first two humans both male and female, and that they were split into separate male and female only after the fall.

2) neither the power / inherent nature of God? 

The Greek word dunamis means that this individual has some ‘inner strength that does not depend on outward things.’ In other words, the nature of God is to be 100% self-sufficient. Once we understand that Singularity is the preeminent likeness God granted to his human children, this should make perfect sense.

When humans become sons of God in the re-generation back to the original hyperdimensionality of the first Adam,

3) “they neither marry [males], nor are given in marriage [females], but are as the angels of God in heaven.”” (Mark 12:18-25)

“Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God…it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him.” (I John 3:1-2)

Same sex marriages and gender bender identities deny the inherent lack of human completeness in the current fallen state of humanity, and ultimately, the lack of completeness found only in Creator God.
