Christ's
body as seen in Genesis 3:15, as the seed of woman through whom would come mans
redemption, and restoration of all things in the second Adam. Because here God has so promised, vowed and
covenanted by His spoken word just as He had spoken in Genesis 1:1-3 and
26-27, 2:7, is a type of the first (Genesis 3:15, 21) passover lamb
slain before the foundation of the world. Not in the literal since (mans common language of reason that is to say religion) by rather in the figurative language (of righteousness, in spirit and truth) upon which all covenants, promises, Psalms and even the prophets will from here on speak.
Yehovah-God
spoke to Abraham (of a son and then many sons of promise) for in his son
Isaac as found in Genesis 12, 15, 17 and then in chapter 21 (Genesis
21:12 “God
said unto Abraham, 'Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of
the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said
unto thee, hearken unto her voice;
for in Isaac shall thy
seed be called.'”)
The
key is in the singular word “seed,
shall be called", which seed we know to be Christ and those who
acquire the same trust in Yehovah-God or Christ, that Abraham
exercised. (Galatians 3:26; 6:16, Psalm 125:5)
But as Ishmael is of the flesh, and a figure of the Law through which there is NO forgiveness or righteousness. And because he was conceived in sin, all those who chose to remain as such will one day seek to hide in the earth as earthen vessels and pull the grave stone over their thumb, because they reject this gospel of the Son of promise.
Israel (Jacob) left Egypt and
the unleavened bread (Genesis 14:18, Exodus 12:3-10, 13:3, 7) given was the bread which came down from heaven to feed Israel while in
the wilderness was of Him also. He was also the rock which followed
them and watered them (Exodus 17:6) through the wilderness
wonderings. He is the rock which struck down the kingdoms (the figure
of mixed elements in Daniel 2) or nations of the world in Daniel. He
is the last of days, the end of time and the for ever and the for
everlasting of the Old Testament. He is the promised one of Daniel 9:
23-27 for in 66-70 AD both the priests and the city were destroyed as
herein predicted. Now the two main figures who withheld or restrained the evil of the world where both taken from the earth about the same time they being Paul in 68 AD and Peter in 69 AD which brought about the destruction and further scattering of the Hebrews as predicted and spoken of in veiled language by Jesus Himself. And which the final rejection as recorded in Acts chapter 22 states, where the separation or the lower road most traveled by those who choose to remain earthy and the higher ground became more resisted and its entry harder to find because God's kingdom now suffers greater violence for the violent try to take it by way of forced entry.
Christ's body was undefiled,
sinless, without guile, spot or blemish. He gave His body for the
remission of sins (propitiation, consummation, final offering) as the righteous one. He gave His blood and body as
the completion of the old Law's requirements which fulfilled as the propitiation the
Law, Psalms and the Prophets. (1 Corinthians 5:6-8; Galatians 3:12,
14, 26-27, 5:4; Ephesians 2:15; Philippians 3:9; Hebrews 7:19, 10:1)
Throughout His ministry to Israel He related through the use of parables to
His flesh and the drinking of His Blood of the wine and as bread
which caused many to fall away and in this time causes many to be
repulsed by such words because they miss understand them and His
purpose of using them. For they take all things in a literal since
which causes brief.
His body, when eaten as the
flesh of a lamb, or as the bread that sustains life, is the Living
Word nourishing our soul and spirit. As the Light (the power
contained in the Blood) which when God called for it caused harmony and order where there was only chaos, and life to come into the soil,
seasons (seed time and harvest) where there was only darkness (figurative of mans unredeemed soul or spirit) and
then the light (the new Life restored) that separated day from night. God forbid man from
eating the blood for in it is the issues of life. In His blood is the
power of an Endless Life. Also the bread or the meat of the Word when
received by revelation brings in the illumination, the Light of God.
Which then is watered by the Holy Spirit as spiritual drink. These
are all part and parcel of the promised New Covenant the Covenant of
an Endless an Eternal Life which Jesus, as the second Adam, declared as being only found
in Him as recorded by John in 11:25 and attested to in Psalm 36:9 and
Isaiah 38:16.
