THE EIGHT STAGES OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF MAN (Adam) Part 1 & 2


While meditating upon the development of this eighth man in this era, the Spirit began to formulate these thoughts within my mind.  We present them for your consideration.


1.  ADAM IN ANGELIC FORM


We have taught that sin started in the heart of Lucifer, a beautiful fallen angel, who because of his disobedience became satan.  Yet the Bible states that sin entered into the world by one man, and that man is Adam!  "By one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin", and again we read, "In Adam all die", Romans 5:12; 1 Cor. 15:22.  Sin did not enter into the world by an angel, nor even by satan, but by one man.  Thus we surmise that Lucifer was Adam in a higher creation vibration of light substance, in an angelic form called, The Day Star, The Light Bringer, or The Shining One.  Isa. 14:12.  This took place in the original creation of the heavens and the earth.  "In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth."  Gen. 1:1.  God spoke and creation came forth in all its pristine beauty and light. Psa. 33:8-9.


Is this too incredible to believe?  Is there not a resurrection of man "equal unto angels?"  Luke 20:35.  And is not man being set over all the works of God's hands, from which he fell?  Heb. 2:7 (quoted from Psa. 8:6)  The original Hebrew translates this, "For thou hast made him a little lower than the Elohim (God) and hast crowned him with glory and honour."  Thus we read that Lucifer-Adam was full of wisdom and perfect in beauty, covered with glittering jewels; full of music and that he walked in Eden, the Garden of God, in the midst of the stones of fire.  He was God's annointed cherub that covered, perfect in all his ways, until iniquity was found in him! Eze. 28:12


This iniquity was pride.  He said, "I will be like the most High," Isa. 14:12-14.  Did not Adam later in the garden fall again through this same spirit of pride?  He wanted to become like God.  And is not man still arrogantly (without Christ) trying to push himself into the same Godly realm?  Both Isaiah and Ezekiel were given forth an adumbration against the Kings of Babylon, Tyrus and Pharoah.  Adumbration means to foreshadow, overshadow, and conceal.  In other words, they were speaking (by the Spirit) of something that was happening directly in their day; and also about something that was yet to take place in the future.  Indirectly, they were speaking to the spirit of pride that was in them, which had orginated in the mind of Lucifer-Adam.


A lamentation is spoken against the Assyrian, likening him to a tree (trees speak of men).  This tree in the Garden of Eden had exalted itself above all the other trees in the Garden.  Therefore, he was driven out, and all of mankind was delivered unto death, to the "nether parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit (grave)."  Eze. 31:1-14.


When God began to reveal THE TRIPLE FALL OF MAN, from the Spirit to the Soulish to the Carnal-Mind-Death realms, I could not harmonize it with a scripture found in 1 Cor. 15:44-46.  "there is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body....Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural, and afterward that which is spiritual."


It is now becoming clear that Lucifer-Adam was first natural in a high angelic form.  Angels have bodies that can be both visible and invisible.  Jesus was make lower than angels for the suffering of death, but he has been crowned with glory and honor far above angels.  He is dwelling in the true Spirit of God, in a light no man hath seen nor can see.  1 Tim. 6:16.  So first is the natural and then comes the spiritual, unto which we are  now pressing, longing for our change like unto Christ.  We have had to change our opinion about the heavens, since the astronauts found the moon was made of the same natural materials as the earth.  The celestials are far above the terrestials, a realm where no man or angel has ever ascended - only the Lord Jesus Christ!!!


Lucifer-Adam lifted himself in pride above the Lord, therefore God said, "I will cast thee as  profane out of the Mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire."  Profane means contempt for the things of God, and the Mountain of God speaks of God's government.  Thus we see Lucifer-Adam cast out of his high position as the Covering Cherub, bringing DISRUPTION AND CHAOS.  Gen. 1:12.


We draw your attention to the words, "Covering Cherub".  We do not fully understand these terms and what they signify in the Government of God, though these thoughts have come to us.  The Body of Christ, which is being formed today, his great Body of Sons, is his Covering or complement "by which all in all is being completed. "  Eph. 1:23, CCV (Concordant Version)  He is dwelling within us even now, "CHRIST IN YOU THE HOPE OF GLORY".  This will come into reality in fullness when "He comes to be glorified in his saints."  Col. 1:27; Thess. 1:10.


Praise God, one of the steps of our return back into God will be to retain this glorious position as The Covering Cherub in the Government of God!  We are destined to again regaining our "Inheritance in Light".  Col. 1:12, 1 Cor. 11:3.


2.  ADAM IN DEGENERATED FORM


Since Lucifer-Adam was alienated from God, his mind was darkened, a veil put over his face, Eph. 2:1, Isa. 25:7-8.  We read "that darkness was upon the face of the deep."  Face speaks of intelligence.  God would not move upon inanimate things (like water and rocks) but only upon that which could receive and understand.


Man became so degenerated in mind and deformed in body that he began to live like an animal in caves and dens.  Their bones are being dug up by archeologists to this day.  Death reigned before man's fall in the Garden.  Throughout these long eons of time, God did not totally forsake his creation.  He is the first cause and the first mover in the full restoration of man.  Thus we read again, "His Spirit moved upon the face of the water,"  (Man's subconscious mind)  "And God said let there be light, and there was light."  Gen. 1:2-3.  God's light began to appear in his six geological-creative-days.  The earth was gradually lifted from its submerged, deformed and chaotic state.  These vast periods gives plenty of time for the formation of gold and iron and jewels and "the precious things of the earth", and also the fossilizing of dinosaur bones!  There is no discrepency in the Bible with true science.  Thus we see God moving, even in this darkened and chaotic condition, toward his ultimate goal of full regeneration for all.
