Genesis

Genesis is the seed chapter to every question in the Bible. And you always have to go back to the seed to see what kind of a seed is in the field, to find out what your crops will be. Jesus said, "Go back to the beginning," there was only one pair of anything on earth. There was one Adam and one Eve and they were joined by God alone. Then, we find now that everything "in the beginning" was running in perfect order and harmony with God, nothing was out of cater. Everything in heaven is still in order; all the stars, the galaxies, the solar system, everything is perfectly in order. If one of them moved it would interrupt the whole program. Now listen. One interruption stalls the whole program! Now, when human beings were running in continuity with God, with one man and one woman, this woman sinned and it threw the whole earthly program out of continuity with God. Therefore, one word added to this Book, or one Word taken from it throws a Christian out of continuity with God, throws a church out of continuity with God, it throws a family out of continuity with God. Every believer can be thrown out by not accepting every Word of God.

All over the earth since the day in the Garden of Eden that sin was committed, all heavens was shut off from mankind. Satan is the prince of the power of the air. That's right. "Why art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer?" No man could see into glory. No man could understand because the power is just above us. Heaven means "atmosphere above" and then all these powers were shut off from mankind because of sin. Eve broke her covenant with the Word. Notice, why did she do such a thing, being in that high order? She was right with man, co-equal with him. But we all know now that she lost her co-equality with man, when she sinned, and God said, "Man will be your ruler from here out." Notice the reason she did that. How did Satan ever get to her? Did you know Satan was co-equal with God one day? Sure was, all but a creator; he was everything, stood at the right hand of God, in the Heavens, the great leading Cherubim. Notice the reason that she did this, she was not in the original creation. She is not in God's original creation; she is a by-product. Therefore, "at the beginning" she was not an original creative being of God. She is a by-product of a man. Remember, Adam was both masculine and feminine in the original creation, one, but then he was separated by a rib. Notice, but a by-product, and, notice, the only one of all God's creation, of every animal and anything else, she was the only one designed this way. Every other female was in the original creation. Every other female was in the original creation, but Eve was not in the original creation. See, that had to be made that way. We'll get to it after a while. Notice, this creation that she was in was in the original, but a byproduct. There is nothing designed to be so deceitful as a woman that's deceitful. There cannot be anything else; there is nothing made to be that way. Also, there is nothing that can be so easily deceived as a woman. Now, the fall proves this statement to be true, the fall in the beginning. She was not in the original beginning creation. She was in Adam, but not in a female sex, herself, at the beginning. She was the by-product made. There is nothing designed or can stoop as low as a woman can. Think now. There is nothing designed, in all creation, that can stoop as low as a woman can. She can tear a man's heart to pieces easier than anything else there is in the world, is his wife. Now you see where Satan went? See? But still she is the one that's got

the power to say "yes" or "no." See, depends on where she wants to hold herself. See? Now here we can see plainly the serpent's seed, where it came in. There is only one place he could go to. If that wouldn't nail it down, somebody is blind. See? See, it had to go to that. She is the only specie of female that is made prettier than the male. There is not another species like this. All other creatures of God are beautiful males, such as in animals, birds, and so forth, always the male is pretty. But in the human race, it's the woman that's pretty, not the man; if he is, there is something wrong, there is crossed-up seed somewhere. Originally it was that way. Why, why was it done? To deceive by! Her designer, Satan, is still working on her, too, in these last days. Now, there is nothing can stoop like her, and she is designed so that she can be deceiving. And Satan is really working on her today, in these last days, because he is her designer. A pretty woman can sway a man any way she wants to. That's the deceiver right there. And she is deadly with it, absolutely deadly. You may question me about Satan being her designer, but that's the Truth. Satan designed her. He still does it. Satan is the one who features that kind of beauty. Also, to show that Cain was his son, he offered a more beautiful worship, decorated his altars with fruits and flowers, and so forth. Is that right? Beautiful! Sin is beautiful, what we call beauty today. And sin is deceiving, by beauty.

So now, to show what God had in His great mind, what He had in picture of the Christ and the church, He took not a different piece of clay and made a woman, but He took from the side of Adam, a rib; and took from the spirit of Adam, the feminine, and put it in this rib. A man and a woman are two different spirits. But, together they make one unit: "These two are one." After He made his Angelic beings He made man, "Created He them male and female," all in the same unit. He was both man and woman, feminine and masculine. God is a Spirit, and He took the spirit man and put him in flesh. See! He made the first man, "male and female created He them."

Word had just reached heaven that God's child had fallen from grace. He had sinned. And there was a state of emergency called. God had to bring the Angels and come from heaven, because His own child had fallen and disobeyed His laws. And it was death's penalty for disobeying these laws. God had to come in a state of emergency, like any conference is held.

Word had just reached heaven that God's child had fallen from grace. He had sinned. And there was a state of emergency called. God had to bring the Angels and come from heaven, because His own child had fallen and disobeyed His laws. And it was death's penalty for disobeying these laws. God had to come in a state of emergency, like any conference is held. Then I can see all that space, which was God. God had no beginning of days, ending of years. He's forever and forever. I can see all that great space begin to move together like this, coming down to a funnel shape like that, and it moved right down, as He began to eye that little couple down in the Garden of Eden, bloody skins flopping against their leg. He couldn't stand it. And it moved down, oh, it moved it down to the very heart of God, spelled l-o-v-e. Something must be done or all is gone to chaos--His own creation. And God selected a certain tree, and he called Adam and Eve together, and brought them up, and held a conference with them. And when He had come to a decision, He made a way of escape for His mortals. And He said, "Thy Seed shall bruise the serpent's head. And his head shall bruise thy heel." In the Garden of Eden sin was so beautiful until it attracted Eve from righteousness to sin. And in the same garden where there was a Tree

of Life, there was also a tree of death. We would know it today as the law of contrast - that where there is good, there is evil; where there is right, there is wrong. And we will never, no matter what our environment might be, ever be able to shake ourselves from the presence of either. Like Paul said, "When I would do good, then evil is present." The sinner will never be able to shake away from the Christian, the Christian from the sinner. There'll be a witness there of right, and a testimony of wrong always. And you make your choice. You have to take one side or the other. When Eden was created there were two trees for a man to choose from. If he chooses one tree he became full of wisdom; if he chooses the other he came into Eternal Life. There were two boys, Cain and Abel, both of them religious. Abel desired Life Eternal, and he offered to God by faith a more excellent sacrifice than Cain: a perfect type of the churches today: the church natural, church spiritual. But the church spiritual today is like Abel - by revelation. By grace he seen beyond that, and by faith he offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain. And it testified of his righteousness.

His promise was to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph. In Abraham we found election; and in Isaac, justification; and in Jacob, grace. You'd have to believe in grace if you read Jacob's life. You'd have to see it was election and calling, 'cause, oh, the things that fellow did. But yet, God had blessed him. God had told him what was going to happen, so He called him. But you notice after he wrestled with this Angel things began to look different. In Joseph was found perfection. This world is now standing in the grip of two great spiritual forces and they are both religious forces. I believe that these great forces are soon coming to a head. Now, both of these great forces were represented in these two sons of Isaac. It is amazing how God in His infinite wisdom has foreshadowed all things to us; that we might by these things know for certain what lay before us. God and His Word have made it so plain, and nature and His universe are so perfectly arranged together that even the sinner can see something's fixing to take place. God has so arranged it, no one is without excuse.

Now, we can see in these two sons that before they were ever born they were at war with one another even though the beautiful virgin mother, Rebekah, and the righteous seed of God's promise, Isaac; were two consecrated, Spirit-filled believers in God, foreordained to the very marriage that they united together by. God foreknew this would happen. Now, how could such a thing come to pass even though they both came by the same mother and father? One was a very evil person and another was a very good person; and the good person looked like they were the evil one and the evil person looked like they were the good one. Now, that has always been and it always will be God's program. God cannot change His program. He makes His program perfect, because it's part of Him. In these two sons it is strange to know that before they were born that God loved one and hated the other one, yet they were both of the same seed, from Isaac, who was the promised son of Abraham. We find out that not only were they fussing and fighting in the womb of their mother, but they came out from her fighting, Esau came forth first and Jacob came forth 2nd, holding onto his heel. And they are still fighting today. So we can see that God calls by election - even though both children came from that perfect, pure, elected, holy, consecrated father and mother. It must be. No matter how good your father and mother were it still falls upon you as an individual to find your standing before God. Imagine, Isaac was a holy man and Rebekah a righteous, holy, Godsent and God-called mother, and from that holy seed came forth a renegade and a believer. See, so it lies within God's callings, God's election. Before either one was born, God said, "I love Jacob and hate Esau," before either one was born. So how ought we to feel, someone who has God speak to you and invite you to come to His table and to His home, and be His son or daughter. There's nothing as great as that. Notice the nature of these 2 boys - one of them was a spiritual man; that was Jacob - and the carnal man was Esau. Yet they were both religious. And that same thing has taken place all down through the ages, the carnal and the spiritual - twins. Esau represented the man of the earth, natural, religiously inclined, but never able to come to the truth, it wasn't in him to do it; he couldn't do it. He never was able to climb past the things of the world, the carnal things.

Yet for Jacob it was just so easy for him to do it. Jacob had an overwhelming purpose, he longed for the birthright, no matter how he got it, just as long as he got it. The spirit of that one birth is still represented in the world today and it's coming to a head now: the spiritual believer; and the carnal man, the carnal believer. No one can say they werent both religious. They were. It doesnt say that one served an idol and the other one God. They were both servants of God. Now, pay close attention to the Scriptures on this subject, because I'm sure it'll help you. "Not everyone that saith, 'Lord, Lord' will enter in, but the one that doeth the will of My Father which is in heaven." Now, if you notice, Jacob had one thing that he wanted, because according to the Word, the blessings and the good things laid in the birthright. And Jacobs only objective, the only thing he had in mind was to get that birthright. And Esau despised it. The one that actually had it, despised it, he was ashamed of it. But Jacob wanted it regardless of how he got it, he wanted it. That's the way with the spiritual believer today. He doesn't care how much you laugh at him, how much fun you make of him, how ridiculous he has to act to the carnal mind, his only objective is the birthright. He wants to get to God because it's born in him. He can't help it. "Jacob" means "supplanter" or "deceiver." Yet, after finding and coming into possession of the birthright, he was changed from the carnal to a more spiritual man. He was then called, Israel, "a prince with the Lord," who's wrestled with Him But the church spiritual today is like Abel - by revelation. By grace he seen beyond that, and by faith he offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain. And it testified of his righteousness. The same thing took place in Ishmael and Isaac. One was of the flesh, and the other one was of the Spirit: one of the bondswoman; one of the freewoman. The same thing happened with Israel and Moab, two great churches coming together. And when Jacob's people, the spiritual church, Israel, on the road, wanted to go to their promised place, Esau's people met them, the Moabites, a powerful church. And the great leader of the church, Balaam came down to curse Esaus brothers people, but he

found that he could not curse Israel. He failed with the blindness of his eyes to see the predestinated plan, and to see the Word of God. Now, here came Israel, going up with God's promise and they were headed to the promised land and another group, the Moabites of Lots line, not infidels, but believers in the same God that Israel had, came out to try to curse Israel. They said they surely were unrighteous because they had done lots of things that were bad. You see, they failed to see the election. Moab was a good and great nation, like a brother to the nation of Israel. (Now, see where these two nations came from. Moab was the seed of Lot a type of the remnant foolish virgin that came through the fornication of Lot and his daughter and Israel came forth from Abraham, through Isaac, and then Jacob. So essentially the Moabites were the Church of Lot and the Israelites were the Church of Abraham.)

The 12 Tribes of Israel

There were four corners how Israel camped themselves. They put the ark in the center, and on the four sides of the tent were three tribes of Israel, and four threes is twelve. And each three had a head. One of them was Reuben; he always camped to the south. He was the head of man. And Ephraim was to the west, with three tribes, he was the ox. Then on the east was Judah, which is the lion. And on the north was Dan, which was the eagle. Notice, when Joseph was rejected by his brethren, he was given a Gentile wife. Or Pharaoh give him a Gentile wife, and he bore Gentile children: half Gentile and Jew. They give a great symbol that when Jacob was blessing them, Ephraim on one side, Manasseh on the other, he crossed his hands and give the younger child the blessing; and the two kids were added unto the twelve tribes, which was only ten at that time, and he blessed them in Jacob himself; and Joseph, his prophet son, standing there said, "Father, you've done wrong." Said, "You put your right hand blessing on the young child, where it ought to have gone upon the old one."

He said, "I know my hands were crossed, but God has crossed them." Why? Israel, having the rights to be a Bride, rejected and sold their birthrights, and they went from the old son, Israel, to the new, Gentile, and the blessings went from there through the cross to the Bride.
