Kingdom Come

The oldest clearly and unmistakably definite reference to re-generation from mortal to immortal was written before Moses compiled the Torah. Because of the consistency between Job’s and Moses’ accounts of Creation, we can be assured that they both drew their information from the same source documents, now lost to us.

The Book of Job is not only the finest expression of the Hebrew poetic genius; it must also be accorded a place among the greatest masterpieces of world literature – and was incorporated into Handel’s Messiah (1741), one of the best-known and most frequently performed choral works in Western music.

Job’s account, like any good literature, begins with, then wraps up with, a thesis. At the beginning we are informed that God and Satan begin a game of Risk.

“Now there was a day when the sons of God / righteous angels came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them [i.e. he is not one of them]…

And the LORD said unto Satan…Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?

Then Satan…said, Doth Job fear God for nought? Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land. But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.

And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power.” (Job 1:6-12)

And Job loses all that he has – all his substance / wealth, his children, his health, his reputation, his friends, even his will to live.

Then in a series of questions God taunts Job with predicaments such as,

“Canst thou draw out leviathan / the serpent with an hook?...” (Job 41)

“[No, but!] “I know that my redeemer liveth!

NOW! (although not in the flesh) 

and that he shall stand [i.e., in the flesh]

at the latter day upon the earth: 

And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins [as with a horse, the controls, in this context nerves, observed in a dissected body as strings connecting the brain to every part of the body] be consumed within me [ashes to ashes, dust to dust].” (Job 19:25-27)

Job is waxing eloquent as he elaborates on Genesis 3:15:

1. The redeemer of mankind is alive now in the genes and mitochondria / Seed of the Woman being passed down through all generations of humans.
2. He will take physical form at some time in history which will at that time become the latter day by ending time / death.
3. To “stand” on the earth is not simply to be here, but to be in conquest as he wrests dominion from the enemy of mankind: “them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image…stand” (Revelation 15:2)
4. through the resurrection of “my flesh” into a hyper dimensional body able to “see / experience God”.
5. The same soul who experienced disconnect from life will be reconnected to the new body.

Job’s faith in the promised destruction of the seed of the serpent by the seed of the woman proves that trusting in YHVH’s Ordained Redeemer is not a new means of salvation that came into existence when Jesus Christ died on the cross.

“ye were…redeemed with…the precious blood of the Appointed One / Messiah / Christ…Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times.” (I Peter 1:19-20)

“That which was from the beginning…the Word of life…was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;” (I John 1:1-2)

Speaking to an audience steeped in Greek logic, the biblical account of salvation from humanity’s dreadful state of death is presented as irrefutable logic.

• “as by one (hu)man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, 
  • much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, YHVH’s Anointed Savior 
• For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one;
  • much more they…shall reign in life by one, YHVH’s Anointed Savior...which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness 
• Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation;
  • even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.
• For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners,
  • so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.” (Romans 5)

Notice that in this list contrasting the condition of

• sin, condemnation and death inherited by all humanity through identification with the human genome,
• righteousness, justification and life is obtained only by many because not all humans chose to identify with YHVH as Lord and King of Righteousness

“without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. (Hebrews 11:6)

For example:

• By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, 
• By faith Noah…prepared an ark…
• By faith Abraham…offered up Isaac
• By faith Moses…forsook Egypt
• By faith Rahab…received the spies with peace
• And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell…” (Hebrews 11)

All these people were saved under the exact same conditions that New Covenant people are saved:

• not having received the promises of the destruction of sin and death through the Seed of the Woman, but were persuaded of them, and embraced them
  • trusting in God’s word spoken by his prophets throughout history, and evidence of his power in nature 
• “Not by works of righteousness which we have done
  • building an ark, putting God before our children or riches or safety
• but according to his mercy he saved us
  
  • by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;” –  (Titus 3:5-6)

The “washing and renewing” is not a new Christian religious quick fix with no effort made on behalf of the believer.

“This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works…A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject; Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.” (Titus 3:8-11)

By clearly applying this modus operandi to specific individuals referenced in the Bible who were neither Christian nor Jewish, this hermeneutically allows us to apply this to

• anyone in the world,
• at any era of history,
• to whatever degree the Infinity Creator God’s desire to be in relationship with us is understood,
• with respect for and operation of the natural system in accordance with proper use and maintenance documented by the Owner of the Patent – the Creator.
