@farmerman,
Ah, you poor atheist ignoramus's, all have sinned and all must pay the penalty for the sins of their flesh, all must die the first death then go off into judgement.
The following is not for you foul mouthed insult hurling atheists, who are blind to the truth, and wish to remain blind, terrified at seeing the faith in their ignorant belief shattered. But for the truth seekers who browse these forums.
Just as mankind developed within the bodies of our animal ancestors, so too, 'The Son of Man' is currently, according to our erroneous concept of one directional linear time, still developing with in the great pregnant androgynous body of EVE= mankind, and is not born as a free spirit until the body in which HE develops, is returned to the elements from which it originated.
All those terrible things that you blame on an incompetent petulant god, were committed by man long before, the only child that can justify the life of the woman that bore HIM, had died, (
Gen 3: 15; And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; He will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.”) It is after the rib of Adam has been reunited to her Lord, that the umbilic cord that binds him to the mother body is severed, that he descends from his heights in time, and takes on the sins of the past, by commanding the body in which he developed to do what had been done.
This is why Eve asked her dying brother husband. who died at the age of 930 on the day that he ate of the forbidden fruit and died in that day of one thousand years, when she would follow him, and she was told that she would be reunited with him in six days, which is at the close of the great Sabbath of one thousand years, the day of the Lord, of which day, the weekly sabbath was but a shadow of the coming reality. (Colossians 2: 18; "So let no one make rules about what you eat or drink or about holy days or the New Moon Festival or the Sabbath. 17All such things are only a shadow of things in the future; etc.")
Jubilees 4: 30; And he (ADAM) lacked seventy years of one thousand years; for one thousand years are as one day in the testimony of the heavens and therefore was it written concerning the tree of knowledge: 'On the day that ye eat thereof ye shall die.' For this reason he did not complete the years of this day; for he died during it.
After Adam had died, the Lord commanded Michael to show Seth how the bodies of men should be prepared for burial. The body of Adam was then placed in a stone sarcophagus and Michael was commanded to place it in the manmade mountain, where the door opens to receive the chest of Adam, in order that no one could interfere with his well preserved body until his rib will have returned to him.
Zephaniah 1: 2-3; The LORD said, “I am going to destroy everything on earth, all human beings and animals, birds and fish. I will bring about the downfall of the wicked. I will destroy the whole human race, and no survivors will be left. I, the LORD, have spoken.
Verse 18; On the day when the LORD shows his fury, not even all their silver and gold will save them. The whole earth will be destroyed by the fire of his anger. He will put an end — a sudden end — to everyone who lives on earth.
Everyone who lives on earth, being the operative sentence.
We shall not all fall asleep in death, but at the sound of the Last trumpet, we shall be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, from bodies of corruptible matter into glorious bodies of incorruptible light.
Revelation 20: 7-9; After the thousand years are over, Satan will be let loose from his prison, and he will go out to deceive the nations scattered over the whole world, that is, Gog and Magog. Satan will bring them all together for battle, as many as the grains of sand on the seashore. 9They spread out over the earth and surrounded the camp of God's people and the city that he loves. But fire came down from heaven and destroyed 'THEM'.
