The Parable of the Fig Tree

[Michael Joseph]

Now that makes more sense! Especially taking into account the "punishments of those involved".

Here is another perspective on why Adam did what he did:

ADAM'S CURSE

The judgment that God had pronounced upon Adam was a curse on the ground (Genesis 3:17-19) and not upon his reproductive organ because Adam was not deceived into transgressing the law. Eve was. (1Tim.2:14). But Adam listened to her and joined her in her sin. Adam knew what he was doing when he hearkened to his wife. Being taken from his side, she was a part of him. He knew she would be lost because of her sin. Therefore, in order to redeem her, he must identify himself with her sin. So, Adam knowingly joined Eve in her sin. And his act brought DEATH into the world.

"Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression,

WHO IS THE FIGURE OF HIM THAT WAS TO COME."
— Romans 5:12-14

ADAM IS THE FIGURE OF HIM THAT WAS TO COME. How is that so? Adam redeemed his wife back to himself by identifying himself with her transgression. Remember, Adam had no former lust and knew no sin. Similarly, Jesus Christ, the last Adam, identified Himself with His fallen Bride and became sin for her that she might become the righteousness of God. But in identifying Himself with fallen man, the redemptive act of the last Adam (Jesus Christ) brought LIFE back to man. With the Water and the Blood that flowed from the side of Jesus Christ at Calvary, God made a Bride for Him. Read Romans 5:12- 21; 1 Corinthians 15:21,22,45. Amen! (Type and antitype -- nothing could be any clearer!) We are reconciled to the Living Tree of Life, not a fruit tree but the Living and Wise God!

The man and his wife were then driven out of the Garden of Eden. The Garden of Eden was God's delight. Anything not in accordance with God's law — God's harmony — could not be born there. Hence, as a hybrid was being conceived in the womb of Eve, the couple had to be driven out of the Garden. The hybrid was the Serpent's seed, a seed of discrepancy.

Since the Fall, man has been toiling by tilling the earth and weeding off thorns and thistles to obtain his food. He had lost his household servant, the Serpent-kind, who was the tiller of the ground.

Notice it was not the Sex act that necessarily was the Sin. The Sin was engaging The Satan. These were told - Do not Engage this one.

It could not be sex for the natural plan of Yehovah was to bring forth Yehoshuah by and thru The Man and The Woman. But we see that The Woman was told do not touch The Satan.

We see this in the plan of Salvation issued forth by Yehoshuah. You must be:

1) Born thru the waters of a woman.

This goes to the Angels that just came here on their craft and took wives of the daughters of The Man. 2nd Attempt to nullify Salvation in this Age.

2) Born from the Spirit Above

--------------------------------------------------------

Notice that the first creation of the races were made and told to go replenish the Earth. Then The Man and The Woman were put in the garden with all the rest of the "beasts of the field" for specific duty to bring forth Yehoshuah. But notice that Yehoshuah is the ONLY creation where Yehovah impregnates a Flesh Woman so it can be truly said that Yehoshuah is the ONLY begotten Son of Yehovah. And it can be said of Yehoshuah that he is the Son of Man. Whereby Man is The Man in the Garden.


--------------------------------------------------------

Yehoshuah found delight in only two TYPES of assemblies these know what happened in the Garden and they teach it. Plus these do not follow the precepts of the Nicolaitans

No man comes empty for the feast. And no man stands as the purveyor of knowledge - you share with me and I with you and we are exponentially increased. And the first fruits that we come with are increased greatly as we share with each other our blessings.

P.S. Concerning Death - The Satan brought death in the World in the 1st Age. The Satan again brings Death in the Word [2nd Age] for The Satan is Death - beguiling The Man and The Woman. Read Gen 1:3. The Light is Yehoshuah the darkness is The Satan.

Heb 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

Who is the "He himself" - this is Yehovah. And just as we look the same today as we looked in the 1st Age - If you have seen the Son you have seen the Father. Mary indeed was one special Woman. Not worthy of worship, mind you, but who cannot see that she is Election. Even the priest questioned the Angel to his demise - he was struck Mute. But not Mary.
