I will bear the indignation of the LORD because I have sinned against Him, until He pleads my case and executes justice for me. He will bring me out to the light. Micah 7:9.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
I have a case against you, against every person of Adam’s line beginning with Adam. What is that case? Sin. Sin is lawlessness. It is turning your back on the Truth in exchange for a lie.
It all began in the Garden of Eden. Adam transgressed the covenant and dealt treacherously against Me. Hosea 6:7. Through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned born of his corrupted seed. Romans 5:12.
One transgression resulted in condemnation to all men. Why? Adam murdered the eternal life he had in himself so his spirit was dead to Me and alive to sin and all born of his now corrupted seed were born into the same judgment. He did that by submitting to the lying word of Satan, seeking to become his own source of law, that is, of determining good and evil, by his own wisdom apart from Me. You see these same doctrines of the devil being applied by many in your world today. Basically it is that you can obtain the results and higher of God without God. It is Adam and Eve, the tower of Babel, and Babylon the great repeated over and over and, of course, it reaches its apex before total destruction in the one with the number 666—all man (six is the number of man because I made you on the sixth day of creation) and no God. The exaltation of humanism taking the place of the eternal Trinity.
In the beginning I created mankind in My own image and according to My likeness. I created mankind as male and female and they had pure blood and an eternal life in their flesh. They were formed from the incorruptible seed of My eternal Word.
I blessed them, and all their descendants through them, to have fruitful, fulfilling, abundant lives. There was no death, pain, sickness, lack, or weakness. And I gave the world to mankind as your own home and gave you dominion authority over it. And you still have that authority, but Adam gave his authority over to the devil. And that is why the devil is called the “god” of this world. He is let loose to roam by Adam but the good news is that you can refuse to allow him to have reign in your life if you refuse to do his will and think his thoughts.
The heavens are the heavens of the LORD, but the earth He has given to the sons of men. Psalm 115:16.
What is man that You take thought of him, and the son of man that You care for him? Yet You have made him a little lower than God, and You crown him with glory and majesty! You make him to rule over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field, the birds of the heavens and the fish of the sea, whatever passes through the paths of the seas. Psalm 8:4-8.
I am present to guide, help, bless, protect, provide, and teach you but the decisions of what to do with your lives and with the earth is under your own authority.
And the interest I gave mankind was a leasehold term. I am still the owner of the fee, which I have now given to My Son, for He has redeemed it and is worthy to receive and open up the title deed at the time the lease term is fulfilled.
But I am jumping ahead, but it all is one intertwined story of fall and rise, rejection and reconciliation, and being born again from death to life just as Adam was born again from life to death.
When Adam chose the devil’s word over Mine and took another source, he was born again by the lying word of the devil to a new family and jurisdiction. He became a child of the devil and a citizen of the realm of darkness. And all born of his seed were in the same family. And your inheritance comes from your father. The inheritance of the devil is hell.
Adam’s sentence of eternal death was simple: “Dust you are and to dust you shall return.” The wages of sin is death.
Adam had shut Me out of the world that I had made and given his dominion over to another. He did this by exercising that dominion in accordance with the words of an angelic being who had been created to serve him but who took Adam captive to serve him instead. And that angelic being, now known as Satan, that ancient serpent, the devil, who came only to steal that dominion, in order to kill mankind, and destroy the earth. And Adam knowingly gave his dominion to him to become the master but instead became the slave. But that was not the end of the story, though it could have been.
Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you cannot hear My word. You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies. But because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me. John 8:43-45.
Adam had killed within him and his descendants the eternal life I had given him. And the law is clear, a life for a life. Exodus 21:23. Man owed Me an eternal life for the eternal life he had lost. And the life is in the blood.
For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood by reason of the life that makes atonement. Leviticus 17:11.
“Whoever sheds man’s blood, by man his blood shall be shed, for in the image of God He made man.” Genesis 9:6.
But no one born from Adam, which was every person on earth, had an eternal life to give, no one had eternal blood to give to satisfy the debt you owed to divine justice. No one born of Adam could pay the ransom. I looked about but found no redeemer. All men were under a death sentence unless the price was paid. Unless justice was satisfied by your sentence being satisfied.
And He saw that there was no man, and was astonished that there was no one to intercede; then His own arm brought salvation to Him, and His righteousness upheld Him. Isaiah 59:16.
When Adam gave his dominion over to Satan he became subject to the slavery of sin and death. He sold himself to the devil, to the stranger who was then sojourning with him. I gave Moses a shadow of the good things to come in Christ by the law of the kinsman redeemer. If an Israelite became impoverished and sold himself into slavery to a stranger sojourning in their land, then one of his brothers could redeem him, a blood relative from his family, had a right to redeem him. Leviticus 25:47-49.
But to redeem an eternal life it had to be one with eternal blood as Adam’s had been when I created him in the very beginning. And in all the descendants of Adam there was none, for the blood is from the father’s seed.
No man can by any means redeem his brother or give to God a ransom for him—for the redemption of his soul is costly, and he should cease trying forever—that he should live on eternally, that he should not undergo decay. Psalm 49:7-8.
But I had already given a Word to the devil, Adam and Eve and all mankind in the Garden at the very time they became subjected to the slavery of sin and death. There would be a kinsman redeemer born not of the corruptible seed of Adam but the seed of a woman. Women do not produce seed so it would have to be the reception of the implanted imperishable Word, the seed that can save your souls.
The LORD God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, cursed are you more than all cattle, and more than every beast of the field; on your belly you will go, and dust you will eat all the days of your life. And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; He shall crush you on the head, and you shall bruise him on the heel.” Genesis 3:14-15.
Therefore, putting aside all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness, in humility receive the word implanted, which is able to save your souls. James 1:21.
And this second Adam would again have eternal blood, an eternal life in His flesh for He would be born and live free of sin to save His people from their sins and give them back eternal life.
But when he had considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for the Child who has been begotten in her is of the Holy Spirit. She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.” Now all this took place to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet: “Behold, the virgin shall be with child and shall bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which means, “God with us.” Matthew 1:20-23.
The devil had no part in Jesus. And by His taking all mankind’s sins from the first to the last into His own sinless immortal flesh He gave His eternal life to Me in death and paid with His eternal blood for the eternal life you lost. Justice satisfied. I had found a redeemer, a ransom, the Lamb slain since the foundation of the world.
Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, so that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. Romans 8:1-4.
Jesus came to undo the works of the devil and reverse the curse. But there was only one way He could do that. And that will be the only law on which you can base your case for salvation, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption. The case of winning back eternal life and your place in the Kingdom made holy, blameless, and without reproach before Me.
And we will talk about the only law upon which you can plead your case before Me and win in our next life lesson. And I not only gave you the law on which to base your case but also the Advocate to plead it for you and He will also justify you Himself.
I will bear the indignation of the LORD because I have sinned against Him, until He pleads my case and executes justice for me. He will bring me out to the light. Micah 7:9.
Who will bring a charge against God’s elect? God is the one who justifies; who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us. Romans 8:33-34.
I love you. I, even I, am the one who wipes out your transgressions for My own sake, and I will not remember your sins. Put Me in remembrance, let us argue our case together; state your cause, that you may be proved right. Isaiah 43:25-27.
