In
genesis, God gives the earth to mankind as a good parent would
distribute gifts to his children. Then God blessed them and said, “Be
fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and GOVERN it. Reign over the fish
in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that scurry along
the ground.” Genesis 1:28. NLT. (Emphasis added) If you give gifts to
your children, you do not take it but you can advise them to use it
well and if they err, you can help them out so they continue enjoying
the gift. The virgin birth was prophesied right in the beginning. The
savior was to be the seed/offspring of a woman. I will put
hostility between you (serpent) and the woman, and between your seed
and her seed. He will bruise your head, and you will bruise his heel.”
Genesis 3:15 (REV) The devil 'bruises' us all the time - causing us
pain and suffering. But the seed of the woman - Jesus Christ, will crush
his head i.e will destroy Satan. When Man sinned, Satan was not
tempting him for nothing. He (Satan) tricked him and became the ruler
of this earth. The time for judging this world has come, when Satan,
the ruler of this world, will be cast out. John 12:31 NLT. Because it
was man who contracted to give the earth to Satan, man (the descendants
if the parents and great grand parents are dead) had to break the
contract. When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought
death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned. Rom 5:12 NLT
Because one person disobeyed God, many became sinners. But because one
other person obeyed God, many will be made righteous. Rom 5:19 It was
for that purpose - restoration of all things that Jesus came. He was
born a human child in every way except the mans sperm was not involved.
He grew in wisdom, stature and favor with God and man (many obedient
and wise children do attract many favors even now) And Jesus kept
increasing in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man. Luke
2:52 (REV) So you see, just as death came into the world through a
man, now the resurrection from the dead has begun through another man.
1Cor.15:21.
Now since the children participate fully in blood
and flesh, in a similar way he also himself shared the same so that
through death he could make ineffective the one who holds the power of
death, that is, the Devil,e and free all those who were held in
slavery all their lives by their fear of death. Indeed, it hardly
needs to be said that he did not come to help angels, but to give help
to the seed of Abraham. This being the case, he had to be made like
his brothers in every respect in order to become a merciful and faithful
high priest in things pertaining to God, so that he could wipe away the
sins of the people. For since he himself was tempted in that which he
suffered, he is able to help those who are tempted. Hebrews 2:14-18
(REV)
I will raise up a prophet like you from among their fellow
Israelites. I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell the
people everything I command him. I will personally deal with anyone who
will not listen to the messages the prophet proclaims on my behalf.
Deut.18:18 NLT.
