- 3/24/23 COUNTDOWN
- Would you make any changes in your life if you knew the Rapture of the Bride of Christ was going to happen this April 9th, 2023?
Can I actually “Foretell” that the Rapture will be April 9th, 2023? No, I cannot but I can tell you the season. You need to read my book Hope for Those Left Behind for the details.
On my Bible Guy Web Site – page Movies – starting with Abraham. We have been watching the Bible Movies in order each evening: Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, Moses…
Fear not! I am telling you this in advance so you will know that God is in control, has a plan and wants to get your attention.
SPIRITUAL DEATH LEADS TO PHYSICAL DEATH
When God breathed into Adam, he became a living being or soul. Where is your soul? What is your soul? We know that Adam’s body was made of the dust of the earth. We understand this now as the elements found in dirt are also the base of elements in our flesh bodies. When God breathed life into Adam it was God’s Life Spirit that gave physical life to Adam’s physical body. Even though this is a great mystery, God is revealing it to us through the written book of Genesis Chapter one and two! Let us take deeper look at those events.
DEATH – fear, pain, murder, scared, killing, sickness, diseases, accidents, injustices, war, sorrow, life after death, confusion, resurrection, Easter, religion, church, funeral, casket, cremation, burial, graves, cemeteries, disasters, grief, mourning, darkness, unknown, loneliness, mortality, loss of life, pandemics, ambulances, chaos, firetrucks, earthquakes, explosions, police cars, screaming, powerlessness, helplessness, hopelessness and the end of the world, the end of everything.
Now let’s separate the word DEATH out of this list and let it stand alone. Even the dictionary defines death as, loss of life. So, to define death one must first understand Life. What is life? Is life the opposite of death? When did life happen?
FIRST HUMAN LIFE HAPPENED WITH ADAM
IN THE BEGINNING GOD
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
- First day – God said, let there be light and divided the light from the darkness:
- God called the light day and the darkness night.
- Second day – God said, Let there be a firmament (visible arch of the sky) separating atmosphere waters from the ground waters. – God called the firmament Heaven.
- Third day – God said, Let the waters under the heavens be gathered. – God called the dry ground earth and the gathered waters He called seas
- Continuing the third day – God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself
- Fourth day – God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be signs and seasons, and for days and years; and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth. Then God made the Sun, moon and stars and set them in the firmament of heavens.
- Fifth day – God said, Let the waters abound with an abundance of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the face of the firmament of the heavens. God created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters abounded, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind.
- Sixth day – God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind.
CREATION OF MAN
This is an amazing jump in creation from: living plants, living trees, living water creatures, living winged birds and beasts of the field, to God creating man. Let us read this event carefully.
- Continuing the sixth day – Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the bids of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth. God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
- The Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.
- God gave Adam his mate Eve, and with their sexual union they were given the ability to produce “like kind” children.
Remember, to understand death we must first understand life! Not just plant and animal life but amazing human life.
BODY – We see God creating the body of man with the same pattern, out of the elements of the: ground, dust, dirt (common elements like the animals). But with man it is more than that.
SPIRIT – God breathed Himself into man or breathed His Spirit into man which caused a third thing to happen: man became. Man became the greatest of all God’s creation. God separated man from all other creatures in that God gave man the ability to “know” God and communicate with God Himself.
SOUL – Man became a living being (living soul). God made Adam in His Image.
That is the ability to: think, reason, communicate and create, this takes a mind or soul (sometimes called “the heart” of man). The soul of man is his: mind, will and emotions.
This is confirmed with the scripture verse written by John the apostle: Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Thessalonians 5:23
So, what is this life of man that we have been given, and what is its purpose?
