Adam was the first man created from the dust of the ground to be an administrator of earth. His job was to plant seed to steward the earth into the garden of Eden.
Adam, the man, was created for a specific function. God created Adam in his image and likeness.
Adam was not created to be God or invited to be in the same class with God. Adam was given God-like abilities to steward the earth into a finished product.
In order for Adam to be in the same class with God, he would have to be able to handle the knowledge of good and evil.
This is why God said, according to Genesis 3:22-23
“And LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever: therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the Garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.”
We have been in this reality called the knowledge of good and evil for 6000 years!
Because of the reality of the knowledge of good and evil, Adam’s generation ended at the great flood of Noah’s days. The earth was filled with violence. Every thought and imagination of his heart was only to do evil. Man’s lifespan was reduced 120 years. These were the days of the gaints. Violence had filled the earth. Man took what wanted!
The conclusion is that man was never created to handle the knowledge of good and evil. He was created for God’s pleasure.
Noah’s generation
Noah’s generation built a city called Babel. Their stated goal was let us build a tower to reach into heaven. Let us make a name for ourselves. They departed from their original instructions. They decided to build a city, a tower, and make a name for themselves. Again, they departed from the vision and wanted to make a name for themselves!
Each succeeding generation of man has fallen at trying to be God.
The same thing happened in the days of Samuel. The elders wanted a king to be appointed over them because the sons of Samuel were corrupt and took brides.
1 Samuel 8:6-7
“But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the LORD. And the LORD said unto Samuel. Hearken unto voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.”
God never walked away from the original vision he set up in the garden of Eden. God chose Israel to be the physical and spiritual model of his original vision. The promised land was a symbolic representation of the earth under God’s rule. The Tabernacle of Moses was a type of the Garden of Eden.
Samuel told the elders a king would diminish and take their inheritance. But the people refused to listen to Samuel.
1 Samuel 8:19-20
“Nevertheless the people refused to obey voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us: that we also may be like all the nations; and that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles.”
By the time Israel’s fourth king came into power, Solomon’s son Solomon had reduced the people to servants through heavy taxation.
The knowledge of good and evil has always been the front runner to tyranny.
This mentality prevails in our day
-But we will have a king over us- Somebody to take responsibility for us
-We will be like the nations- We want somebody’s esle benefit plan.
-Our king will judge us- We want justice
-Our king will go before us – We want our someone to take care of us
‘Our king will fight our battles- We want someone to fight our battles.
Satan takes advantage of man’s inability to be his own God. Man was not created by God to be God.
According Revelation 4:11, the testimony of heavenly beings who worship in the presence of God:
“Thou art worthy, O LORD, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.“
All things have been created for God’s for God’s purposes and for his pleasure. God doesn’t get any pleasure out of people suffering violence. It grieves him.
Man takes the knowledge of good and evil to exalt himself.
Adolp Hitler started out with a noble vision to advance his people, which led to the holocaust and millions and millions of people being killed.
Anti-christ is coming
According to 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4
“Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.”
This spirit is called the anti-Christ, in that it wants to be Christ. It is presently working in every part of society to bring everyone into global government. Every day, in every way, we are being brought into the system.
The fore runners to global government are going: -give us a king to fight our battles, to take care of us, to heal our bodies to put food on our table to give us jobs.
The Anti-christ is going to answer all these questions. He is going to kill all those who oppose him. He is going to change laws. He is going to totally control the economics of buying and selling. No one will be able to buy or sell without the number of his name, Revelation 13:17
But this world’s system of things is swiftly coming to an end:
God is going to put it into their hearts to give their power to the beast, Revelation 17:17
God is going to send them strong delusions
“Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all decievableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. AND FOR THIS CAUSE GOD SHALL SEND THEM STRONG DELUSION, THAT THEY SHOULD BELIEVE A LIE.”
But why would God do something like that?
“THAT THEY ALL MIGHT BE DAMNED WHO BELIEVE NOT THE TRUTH, BUT HAD PLEASURE IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS.” 2 THESSALONIANS 2:11-12
But why?
Just as the Anti-christ system has been working in the world, so has the goodness and grace of God.
“Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.” Romans 1:19
They are without excuse! Romans 1:20
Choice
Every day, you get to choose to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil or the tree of life.
Are you reaching for the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, or are you reaching for the tree of life?
The answer is on the inside of you! It’s not in the world system!
The same life energy that gave breath to Adam is the same life God gives as a gift. We call it eternal life.
Notice that once life entered into Adam’s body, which was formed from the dust of the ground, it enabled him to have a relationship with the God of creation.
Life taught him everything he needed to know. It made his heart beat. It healed his body. God himself said that the fruit from the tree of life would have given him the power to live forever, even in a fallen state. Genesis 3:22
Life
This is what God is doing every single day, day in and day out,
He gives the gift of life
Life is flowing like a well of living water and as a river of living water.
In Revelation 22:1, the last revelation of eternal life is revealed as a river of water of life flowing out of the throne of God!
But for now, in this reality of the knowledge of good and evil, God put the river of life inside of you!
1 John 5:9-10
“If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. He that believeth on Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.”
What is the record/witness?
1 John 5:11-12
“And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is on his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.”
We have the witness of the record living inside of us.
When need arises, who do you turn to in the time of trouble?
1 John 2:27
“But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and us no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.”
The anointing that the apostle John is talking about is the Holy Spirit, who is the Spirit of life (Romans 8:10).
I realize that if life is my choice versus the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, I have to make daily demands on this gift of life.
I have to take the promises of God and claim that I believe I receive life in my body, in my finances, and in my home.
Remember, God designed “seed” to transmit life. Seed is pro-vision. Seed is for the vision.
Seed contains a blueprint for life to flow!
“For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.”
Grace & peace!
