People who believe in Jesus but do not know
about the kingdom of God
Most
Christians say they are the people of the kingdom of God, but if they do not
know about the kingdom of God, can they be called the people of God? Jesus told
his disciples about the kingdom of God. Acts 1:3 『To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many
infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things
pertaining to the kingdom of God:』 It is said that he
preached about the kingdom of God for months.
In
Genesis 2:2, God finished the work of creating the world on the seventh day.
And in Pharaoh 2:7 man was created. “And 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 soul.” The breath of life means spirit. And “living
spirit” means “living creature
(soul)”. It means that God put the spirit into the dust
and became a living creature. God is a spirit, and all the angels in the
kingdom of God are spirits. The spirit is in the kingdom of God, and the fact
that the spirit entered the dust represents the prisoner. It is said that the
spirit is trapped in the soil.
For the
reason, God is explaining it through the Garden of Eden. The Garden of Eden
means the kingdom of God. In Genesis 2:8, “And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put
the man whom he had formed.
The
phrase “the garden of Eden was
planted” means that the stage of the Garden of Eden was
installed in this world. The stage is like the stage of the lotus. "God
puts the man in the Garden of Eden" means putting the man created by God
on the stage of a play in the Garden of Eden.
In other
words, God explains what happened in the Garden of Eden (the kingdom of God) to
those who read all the Bibles. The east side of the garden means the direction
in which the sun rises, that is, the place where it begins. Eden means the
kingdom of God. So God explains the kingdom of God.However, all Christians
think of the Garden of Eden as somewhere in the world. So they think Guy:
Somewhere in the world, God put a place like a holy temple, so that humans
could live forever, but they believe that Adam and Eve were cast out into the
world because they sinned. Therefore, there are also incidents of trying to
find the lost Garden of Eden.
In the
Garden of Eden, there is the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, there is
the tree of life, and the serpent appears, and the helper (Eve) is separated
through Adam. In Genesis 2:21-22, “And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he
slept: and he took one of his ribs his, and closed up the flesh instead
thereof; And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman,
and brought her unto the man. The created Adam is expressed as man, not male.
In English, man is a mixture of human and male, but the first man, Adam, is a
human being. However, since Eve was separated from Adam, they became male and
female.
The first man, Adam, was the
man before the separation of men and women. God is explaining the relationship
between the two not in a biological sense, but in a spiritual sense.
Originally, they were one, but the Bible says they were divided. Genesis 2:24
emphasizes that we must become one again, “For this reason a
man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and the two become
one flesh.” This is Ephesians 5:31-32, “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall
cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.”
That's the big secret. What
great secret is it that a man and a woman become one in marriage? God explains
the mystery in Genesis 3. God already said in Genesis 2:16-17, “And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the
garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and
evil, thou shalt not eat. of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou
shalt surely die. We must know exactly the tree of the knowledge of good and
evil and its fruit. Good means God, and evil means Satan. Many people think of
the tree of knowledge of good and evil as the power of God, but that tree means
“Satan (evil) who wants to become like God (good).”
Satan's original name was
the commandment (Hebrew: Herel: Archangel) in Greek. Instead of the name of
Commandment, God called him Satan. He thought that he could become like God
himself without God. That is why he is able to judge both good and evil by
himself. In God's eyes, this is evil. The fruit of the tree of the knowledge of
good and evil (Satan) means greed to become like God. When angels eat the fruit
of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, they want to become like God.
So, the Bible says that they die because their spiritual relationship with God
is cut off.
In Genesis 3:4-6, “And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For
God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened,
and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. And when the woman saw that the
tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired
to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also
unto her husband with her; and he did eat.” She is
tempted by the serpent that a woman can become like God, and she eats the
fruit. And she gave it to her husband. Why does the Bible not refer to Eve as a
woman, but as Adam, but as a husband?
The Garden
of Eden symbolizes the kingdom of God. The serpent is Satan, the husband is
Christ (God), and the wife is sinful angels. It symbolizes those who fall into
Satan's delusion and do not keep their status, think that they can become like
God, and want to leave God. God imprisons them in the material world and throws
them into the world to see if they can become like God and achieve their own
righteousness. So, God blocked the light of God and created the material world
of darkness. However, God has to take off the angels who have sinned and make a
body that encloses the spirit, but God himself does that role.
Even though they are sinful angels, they are
the sons of God. It is the image of the prodigal son leaving his father. So,
just as his wife and husband are one, so God and the sinful angel are together
in the material world. Her husband also ate the fruit. is to realize The flesh
(the body of sin: Adam) and the spirit (the sinful spirit) met and soon became
a human being. God himself was born in the body of sin and passed on the body
of sin to all mankind. His name is Adam.
In Genesis
3:23, “Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to
till the ground from whence he was taken.” As in the
parable of the sower, “cultivating the land” means to meditate and ponder deeply about why you are living in
this world, why your body must die, and what will happen after you die. What
drives Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden is the casting of the Spirit into
this world. And God put on a coat of skin. Some people think of the skin as the
skin of an animal, but it means the flesh of a person. In Genesis 2:21, “And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he
slept: and he took one of his ribs his, and closed up the flesh instead
thereof;” The place where the rib (Eve) was was filled
with flesh. The spirit trapped in the flesh is Eve. So, all human beings born
into this world are sinful spirits.
But God
foreordained Christ before the foundation of the world. Christ is God. God
brings sinful spirits to the world and brings them back to the kingdom of God.
This is the predestination of Christ. The sinful spirits enter the world with
the first man, Adam, repent of their greed to become like God, and return to
the kingdom of God with the last Adam. In Genesis 28:12, Jacob had a dream in a
place called Bethel. 『And he dreamed, and behold a
ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the
angels of God ascending and descending on it.” The
ladder is the Christian. Likewise, in John 1:51, “And
he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see
heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of
man.” The Son of Man is Christ.
