The Whole Deal For the Abrahamic System

22 For example, it is written that Abraham acquired 2 sons, one by the servant girl and one by the free woman;
23 but the one by the servant girl was actually born in the manner of flesh, the other by the free woman through a promise.
24 These things stand as a symbolic drama; for these [women] mean 2 covenants, the one from Mount Sinai, which brings forth children for slavery, and which is Hagar.
25 Now this Hagar means Sinai, a mountain in Arabia, and she corresponds with the Jerusalem today, for she is in slavery with her children.
26 But the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother.
27 For it is written: Be glad, you barren woman who does not give birth; break out and cry aloud, you woman who does not have childbirth pains; for the children of the desolate woman are more numerous than [those] of her who has the husband.
28 Now we, brothers, are children belonging to the promise the same as Isaac was.
29 But just as then the one born in the manner of flesh began persecuting the one born in the manner of spirit, so also now.
30 Nevertheless, what does the Scripture say? Drive out the servant girl and her son, for by no means shall the son of the servant girl be an heir with the son of the free woman.
31 Wherefore, brothers, we are children, not of a servant girl, but of the free woman. (Galatians 4 NWT)

In other words there are more spirit sons of Jacob than there are physical sons of Jacob, in other words there are more saints than Jews. So there are a hell of a lot of saints. There are way more saints than 144,000. But Revelation 14 makes it clear that there are only 144,000 male 1NC Kings. Ray's idea was that there are more than 144,000 1NC male saints. Gordon replied that no there are only 144,000 like it says in Revelation. But there is more than one covenant for saints. Ray said: Have you any idea how crazy that sounds. Gordon responded incorrectly and said well your idea of more than 144,000 1NC Kings is equally crazy. That pretty much ended the conversation. It is the writer's biggest regret. What he did not realise is that Ray Franz was the writing committee of the Watchtower for the scripture says...

13 'I know where you are dwelling, that is, where the throne of Satan is; and yet you keep on holding fast my name, and you did not deny your faith in me even in the days of Antipas [short for antipatros, meaning: like the father, i.e. Russellites, researchers], my witness, the faithful one, who was killed by your side, where Satan is dwelling. (Revelation 2 NWT)

So the Russellites were all killed - disfellowshipped. They were the researchers as Russell was. Rutherford was the evangeliser, the salesman. Ray Franz was a researcher (who essentially wrote the Aid book) and so was a Russellite, like his father, Elijah3, Charles Russell. So Ray was killed on a trumped up charge. 

Here is what Gordon should have said to Ray. How many wives did Jacob, the father of physical Israel have? One was it? And what do wives stand for according to the scripture which you just quoted to me? The answer is that Jacob had children by 2 wives and by 2 slave girls and these 4 women are 4 covenants. Abraham himself had children from Sarah his wife and Hagar his slave girl. But then he also had them from Keturah his slave girl whom he married... 

1 Furthermore, Abraham again took a wife, and her name was Keturah.
2 In time she bore him Zimran and Jokshan and Medan and Midian and Ishbak and Shuah.
3 And Jokshan became father to Sheba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan became Asshurim and Letushim and Leummim.
4 And the sons of Midian were Ephah and Epher and Hanoch and Abida and Eldaah. All these were the sons of Keturah. (Genesis 25 NWT)

For the symbolic meaning of Keturah and her children please see I35. Plainly there is more than one covenant for spirit born children or saints. For the genetic people of God are a mirror for the spirit born people of God, the Israel of God of Galatians 6:16. 

15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision [has] any strength nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.
16 And as many as shall walk by this rule, peace and mercy [be] on them and on the Israel of God [those circumcised in Holy Spirit, the saints]. (Galatians 6 GLT)

So let's do some research and find our just how many salvation covenants there are.

The 3 mighty men whose blood David poured out to Jehovah

14 And David was then in the place hard to approach; and an outpost of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.
15 After a while David expressed his craving and said: Oh that I might have a drink of the water from the cistern of Bethlehem that is at the gate!
16 At that the 3 mighty men forced their way into the camp of the Philistines and drew water from the cistern of Bethlehem that is at the gate and came carrying and bringing it to David; and he did not consent to drink it, but poured it out to Jehovah.
17 And he went on to say: It is unthinkable on my part, Oh Jehovah, that I should do this! [Shall I drink] the blood of the men going at the risk of their souls? And he did not consent to drink it. These are the things the 3 mighty men did. (2 Samuel 23 NWT)

A mighty man for a blood sacrifice I am giving you. David would not drink the blood of these 3 men but poured that blood out to Jehovah! These 3 men represent 3 validation sacrifices of 3 salvation covenants with God.

The 3 men in the crucifixion scene in John

In this account the two crucified either side of Jesus are not called robbers or evil doers, but just 'others'. Sure they were robbers and evil doers as described in the other gospel accounts. But in the word symbolic meaning of John they were not. They stand for the two other men involved in the big salvation plan of God, namely Methuselah who was possessed by Gabriel and Melchizedek. For Michael is the master mediator of the angelic salvation covenant, Gabriel/Methuselah is the master mediator of the church salvation covenant and Melchizedek is the master mediator of the faith salvation covenant. This stage managed scene is telling us that there are 3 big sacrifices that save mankind not one. For why else would those two bit part actors be scene sharing with Jesus Christ?

17 And, bearing the torture stake for himself, he went out to the so-called Skull Place, which is called Golgotha in Hebrew;
18 and there they impaled him, and 2 other [men] with him, one on this side and one on that, but Jesus in the middle (John 20).

So here the 3 impaled men stand for the 3 validation sacrifices in God's plan to save us all. It is a 3 man salvation plan not a 1 man salvation plan.

Why does one race need 3 fathers?

Most nations are descendants of one man. Examples are the Israelites, Amalekites, Hebrews (descendants of Eber), Moabites, Ammonites, Elamites (descendants of Elam the son of Shem - Persians) etc. But God choose Abraham not to be the father of a nation but to be the father of a crowd of nations. Through Sarah he had Isaac who had Esau and Jacob who fathers Edomites and the Israelites. Through Hagar, he had Ishmael who fathered the Ishmaelites. Through Keturah of Genesis25 he had the Midianites and many others. But God chosen people, the promised seed, were not all the sons of Abraham. No they were all the sons of Jacob, the grandson of Abraham. The family tree of Abraham to the 12 sons of Jacob tells us most of the salvation plan of God as follows...

The Patriarch's fleshly wife/woman, the genetic mother of his son, stands for the covenant mother of that son.

The AAP is the Abraham Angelic Promise
The 1AC is the 1st Abrahamic Covenant
The ICC is the Isaaic Church Covenant
The JAC is the Jacobian Angelic Covenant
The 1NC is the 1st New Covenant that Jesus mediated at the last supper - to be sacred kings in heaven over the Kingdom of God.
The 2NC is the 2nd New Covenant to be secular kings on earth over the Kingdom of God
The ELC is the Earthly Lord Covenant, to be in the earthly administration of a 2NC King.
The HLC is the Heavenly Lord Covenant, to be in the heavenly administration of a 1NC King.
The OMC is the Omega Covenant, the Love Ransom Covenant, to be a Benjamite 2NC King 
The IAP is the Isaaic Angelic Promise

So those with faith who do not join a true religion are Ishmael. Those with faith who do join a true religion are Isaac. And those who become saints are Jacob. Those of Isaac who do not become saints are Esau. 

There are 3 states of salvation. A son of Abraham (faith), a son of Isaac (true religion), and a son of Jacob (a saint). That is why the Jewish race had 3 fathers rather than all of them simply being the sons of Abraham. 

The basis of all covenant salvation is that one enters into a testing covenant (through the outer gates of Ezekiel's temple}. One is tested by stumbling blocks, corrupting serpents, and choking thorns and thistles. If one passes one is sealed, which is being declared righteous (going through the inner gates of Ezekiel's temple - see U267), and one enters into a sealing covenant, a blessing covenant and receives the salvation body of the validation sacrifice of that blessing covenant. If one fails the test, then one has lost that avenue of salvation. These is no salvation without a test. So salvation only occurs in a Satanic environment. 

The 3 states of salvation, being covenant sons of the 3 patriarchs, Abraham (1AC), Isaac (ICC) and Jacob (JAC), put one into 3 testing covenants. The sealing/blessing covenants for these 3 tests are the Faith Blessing Covenant (FBC), the Church Blessing Covenant (CBC), and the Angelic Blessing Covenant (ABC) respectively. So really Christianity is Judaism by covenant rather than by genetics. Christianity is a choice made by God in respect of the believer and by the believer in respect of God. Judaism was a choice made by God alone in respect of an ancestor of the believer. For as Paul said...

7 Neither because they are Abraham's seed are they all children, but: What will be called 'your seed' will be through Isaac.
8 That is, the children in the flesh are not really the children of God, but the children by the promise are counted as the seed. (Romans 9 NWT) 

Here is how one is saved...

One is called into a testing covenant. One responds to that call and is baptised into said testing covenant. One is tested by stumbling blocks, by corrupting influences, by choking influences and by serpents themselves (born again sons of Satan, Hell's angels, sons of the DAC, the Demonic Angelic Covenant, wicked people who have been born again with an angel which angel is already 2nd dead. condemned to Hell). If one passes that testing then one is declared righteous and one enters into the relevant blessing/sealing covenant, by a further baptism, which means God promises to give you the body of the validation sacrifice of that blessing/sealing covenant. 

Called into a testing covenant - baptised into a testing covenant - tested - sealed (baptised into the relevant blessing covenant) - given the body type of the validation sacrifice of the blessing covenant - your release by ransom 

Here is the scriptural justification for this process...

30 Also, do not be grieving God's Holy Spirit, with which you have been sealed for a day of releasing by ransom. (Ephesians 4 NWT)

2 Examine me, Oh Jehovah, and put me to the test; Refine my kidneys [rejection of bad] and my heart [motivation for good]. (Psalms 26 NWT)

16 And my kidneys will exult when your lips speak uprightness. (Proverbs 23 NWT)

8 Finally, all of you be like-minded, showing fellow feeling, having brotherly affection, tenderly compassionate, humble in mind,
9 not paying back injury for injury or reviling for reviling, but, to the contrary, bestowing a blessing, because you were called into this [testing covenant], so that you might inherit a blessing [pass the test and be sealed into the relevant blessing covenant and inherit the new body type from the validation sacrifice of that blessing covenant]. (1 Peter 3 LWT)

28 Now we know that God makes all his works cooperate together for the good of those who love God, those who are the ones called according to his purpose;
29 because those whom he gave his first recognition [the first Christians] he also foreordained to be patterned after the image of his Son [to be angelic, to be saints, to be born again angelically], that he might be the firstborn among many brothers [angelic brothers in the 1NC].
30 Moreover, those whom he foreordained are the ones he also called [into the 1NC and into the true church]; and those whom he called are the ones he also declared to be righteous [after testing. This righteous declaration is their sealing]. Finally those whom he declared righteous are the ones he also glorified [resurrected as angels]. (Romans 8 NWT)

7 I have fought the fine fight, I have run the course to the finish, I have observed the faith.
8 From this time on there is reserved for me the crown of righteousness [Paul knows that he is sealed into the ABC, he has been declared righteous in spirit], which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give me as a reward in that day [the crown of righteousness is an angelic body and a place in the administration of the Kingdom of God], yet not only to me, but also to all those who have loved his manifestation. (2 Timothy 4 NWT)

11 And yet that is what some of you were. But you have been washed clean [into the ICC] but you have been sanctified [into the JAC], but you have been declared righteous in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ [into the CRC] and with the spirit of our God [into the ARC] (1 Corinthians 6).

5 He now brought him outside and said: Look up, please, to the heavens and count the stars, if you are possibly able to count them. And he went on to say to him: So your seed will become.
6 And he put faith in Jehovah; and he proceeded to count it to him as righteousness. (Genesis 15 NWT)

This was the righteous decree in the case of Abraham which Paul refers to in Romans 4...

3 For what does the scripture say? Abraham exercised faith in Jehovah, and it was counted to him as righteousness.
4 Now to the man that works the pay is counted, not as an undeserved kindness, but as a debt.
5 On the other hand, to the man that does not work but puts faith in him who declares the ungodly one righteous, his faith is counted as righteousness (Romans 4 NWT).

20 But because of the promise of God he did not waver in a lack of faith, but became powerful by his faith, giving God glory
21 and being fully convinced that what he had promised he was also able to do.
22 Hence it was counted to him as righteousness.
23 That it was counted to him was written, however, not for his sake only,
24 but also for the sake of us to whom it is destined to be counted [if we pass the test of the testing covenant and endure to the end of that test], because we believe on him who raised Jesus our Lord up from the dead.
25 He was delivered up for the sake of our trespasses and was raised up for the sake of declaring us righteous. (Romans 4 NWT). 

So if we have the faith of Abraham then we will pass the test of the 1AC, the first Abrahamic Covenant of Genesis 12:1-3, and we shall be declared righteous which in this case is being entered into the Faith Blessing Covenant (FBC).
Whereas if we put faith in Jesus and pass the test of a sprit covenant such as the 1NC or the 2NC or the ELC or the HLC, then we shall be declared righteous in the spirit, which is being entered into the Angelic Blessing Covenant (ABC). 

In both cases the process is the same...

Baptised into a testing covenant - tested - baptised into a sealing/blessing covenant - given the body of the validation sacrifice of the sealing covenant

Peter confirms that Sarah stands for the ICC

5 For so, too, formerly the holy women who were hoping in God used to adorn themselves, subjecting themselves to their own husbands,
6 as Sarah used to obey Abraham, calling him lord. And you have become her children, provided you keep on doing good and not fearing any cause for terror. (1 Peter 3 NWT)

Sarah only had one child, Isaac, born through a promise to a barren woman. So her sons are covenant Isaac, sons of the ICC, all those in a true religion, Jewish or Christian. And Sarah is the ICC.     

The whole plan from Genesis 31:33

There is a great scripture in Genesis 31 which sums up the JAC and all its subcovenants and Judaism and the 4 churches of Christianity in one verse as follows...

33 So Laban went on into the tent of Jacob [JAC under law] and into the tent of Leah [1NC in TCC1] and into the tent of the 2 slave girls [ELC of Bilhah and HLC of Zilpah in TCC2], but did not find them. Finally he went out of Leah's tent [1NC in TCC3] and went on into Rachel's tent [2NC in TCC4] (Genesis 31).

TCC1 is the 1st True Christian Church. There are 4 of them - see I46.

Summary of the 9 Patriarchal Salvation Promises and Covenants

Sand of the seashore: Sons of the 1AC who adhere to the land of the ICC rather than the sea of the world. But these ones are not actually in the land of the ICC. They are not a part of the true people of God.
Stars of the heavens: Sons of the JAC, those who are born again angelically.
Nations of the land (#ra erets) : True churches making up the congregation of God, his people, his greater 'land'
Families of the ground (hmda Adamah): Genetic families of Adam.

24 And God heard their groaning and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Exodus 2).

42 And I shall indeed remember my covenant with Jacob, and even my covenant with Isaac and even my covenant with Abraham I shall remember, and the land I shall remember (Leviticus 26).

The Covenant of Exodus 2, with all three patriarchs, is the LCC, or 'the land' in the terms of Leviticus 26. 'My covenant with Jacob' is the main covenant of the JAC, 'my covenant with Isaac' is the main covenant of the ICC and 'my covenant with Abraham' is the main covenant of the 1AC.

The Abrahamic Covenants and Promises are further described in Genesis 17:1-11

1 When Abram got to be 99 years old, then Jehovah appeared to Abram and said to him: Walk before me and prove yourself faultless, 
2 And I will give my covenant [the LCC] between me and you [Abraham and his camp and his sons], that I may multiply you very, very much.
3 And Abram fell upon his face [hidden covenant], and God continued to speak with him saying:
4 As for me, look! my covenant [the 1AC] is with you [already, having been made in Genesis 12], and you will certainly be made into a father of a multitude of nations [in fulfilment of the promise of the 1AC].
5 And your name will not be called Abram anymore, and your name must become Abraham, because a father of a multitude of nations I have made you [in Genesis 12].
6 And I will make you very, very fruitful and will make you become nations [under the ACP for the ICC], and kings will come out of you [under the AAC for the JAC].
7 And I will carry out my covenant [LCC] between me and you [Abraham and his camp and his sons] and your seed after you according to their generations [Isaac and sons, Jacob and sons, Levi and sons, Kohath and sons, Amram and sons, Aaron and sons - the 6 submediators of the LCC] for a covenant to time indefinite, to prove myself God to you and to your seed after you.
8 And I will give to you [Abraham and his camp and his sons] and to your seed after you [Isaac and his sons then Jacob and his sons] the land of your alien residences, even the entire land of Canaan [Nile to Euphrates, 'greater Canaan'], for a possession to time indefinite; and I will prove myself God to them.
9 And God said further to Abraham: As for you, you are to keep my covenant, you and your seed after you according to their generations [Isaac and sons, Jacob and sons, Levi and sons, Kohath and sons, Amram and sons, Aaron and sons - the 6 submediators of the LCC].
10 This is my covenant [LCC] that you men will keep, between me and between you men and between your seed after you [all of Abraham's genetic descendants and all the male members of his household] Every male of yours must get circumcised.
11 And you must get circumcised in the flesh of your foreskins, and it must serve as a sign of the covenant between me and you (Genesis 17).

Further references to the patriarchal promises and covenants

13 Remember Abraham, Isaac and Israel your servants, to whom you swore by yourself, in that you said to them, 'I shall multiply your seed like the stars of the heavens, and all this land that I have designated I shall give to your seed, that they may indeed take possession of it to time indefinite.' (Exodus 32 NWT)

22 With 70 souls your forefathers went down into Egypt, and now Jehovah your God has constituted you like the stars of the heavens for multitude. (Deuteronomy 10 NWT)

23 And David did not take the number of those from 20 years of age and under, because Jehovah had promised to multiply Israel as the stars of the heavens. (1 Chronicles 27 LWT)

What will be called your seed with be through Isaac

12 Then God said to Abraham: Do not let anything that Sarah keeps saying to you be displeasing to you about the boy and about your slave girl. Listen to her voice, because it is by means of Isaac that what will be called your seed will be. (Genesis 21 NWT)

7 Neither because they are Abraham's seed are they all children, but: What will be called 'your seed' will be through Isaac.
8 That is, the children in the flesh are not really the children of God, but the children by the promise are counted as the seed (Romans 9 NWT).

So Abraham's seed in the flesh is Jacob and his genetic sons. But his seed by the promises, which is his true seed, is the sons of Jacob by covenant, the sons of the JAC, the saints.

For through his genetic seed, the fleshly sons of Israel were like the stars of the heavens in number. But his covenant seed are like the stars of the heavens in form, for they are angels. 

However Isaac and his genetic and covenant sons are also Abraham's seed. And certainly the sons of Isaac by genes or by covenant as through Isaac. These are represented by nations in covenant speak. And to God a nation is the descendants of one patriarch. Whereas a true church is the descendants of one Elijah. So nations stand for churches as regards the covenant seed of Isaac.

So Abraham himself is the covenant father of those with faith through the 1AC (for he was given this covenant due to his faith whilst he was not in any true religion. Isaac is the covenant father of those in the true religion through the ICC and Jacob is the covenant father of the saints through the JAC. But these 3 covenants are testing covenants not sealing/blessing covenants. 

The 1AC covers faith outside the true religion, the ICC, promised by the ACP, covers all true religions

The Abrahamic Church Promise, is the promise for the ICC which is the means for all men and women knowingly to gain citizenship of the Kingdom of God, and is the legal basis of every true religion, from the time of Abraham until today. Abraham is effectively the Ambassador of the Kingdom of God on earth. He can grant us a visa to immigrate into that Kingdom, through his first covenant (without us knowing about it). Then his son Isaac through the ICC, promised by the ACP, provides entrance into the Kingdom for those who joined a true church/religion. Entrance to the ICC (Isaaic Church Covenant) is through baptism in water in the Christian congregation, and was through the first Passover after the 11th Rosh Hashana for the Jewish congregation - see intro33a. It is a cleansing of the flesh, a forgiveness of the sins in the past. This is why Genesis 24, the account of Isaac's marriage to Rebekah, and Genesis 26 which defines the ICC are all about water and wells.  'Water' is mentioned 18 times in Genesis 24 and 4 times in Genesis 26, and 'well' is mentioned twice in Genesis 24 and 7 times in Genesis 26. Paul says, referring to those in the first True Christian Congregation (TCC1)...

28 Now we, brothers, are children belonging to the promise the same as Isaac was (Galatians 4).

This promise was the ACP, the Abrahamic Church Promise, that all the nations of the earth should be blessed through Abraham's seed, who was Isaac in this case. The ACP was a promise for the main covenant of Isaac, the ICC, the Isaaic Church Covenant. 

Covenants, Ransoms, Mediators and Validation sacrifices

We are now going to discuss the detailed mechanism by which the life status of Jesus' two ransoming bodies is transferred to us judicially dead humans. Or as the bible would say, the dead.

God picks a person who he knows with his foreknowledge is going to pass the test that he is going to set him. This person is given a covenant, he becomes the mediator of that covenant. 

Definition: A salvation covenant is an agreement between two parties for the salvation of the sons of the covenant.

Definition: A testing covenant is an agreement to enter into a salvation test

Definition: A sealing covenant secures the blessing promised when a salvation test is successfully passed.

Definition: A Mediator of a covenant with God is man/angel with whom God (directly or indirectly) has made a covenant, who subcovenants with a third party man/angel or group of men/angels in order that he/they too may enter into a covenant with God through him.

Definition: A Master Mediator is a Cherub, an angel (or a non adamic human with an angelic soul) who covenants directly with Jehovah, and mediates a sealing covenant (the ARC, CRC or FRC) between him and a Blessing mediator.

Definition: A Blessing Mediator is a human who covenants with a Master Mediator and mediates a sealing covenant (the ARC, CRC or FRC) between him and one or more system mediators. 

Definition: A System Mediator is a human who covenants with a Blessing Mediator and mediates a between him and either one or more submediators or directly with the group of humans saved by his covenant, the children of the covenant, the sons of the covenant. His mediation being the entrance of the sons of the covenant into a salvation test.

Definition: A Sub Mediator is a human who covenants with a system mediator and mediates between him and the group of humans saved by his covenant, the children of the covenant, the sons of the covenant. A submediator is not ransomed. He does not have his own salvation vehicle. But he has a agreement to put his covenant children into the system mediators salvation testing vehicle. He is really an agent for the system mediator.

Definition: A Validation sacrifice is a non adamic man or angel who ransoms a Blessing mediator or a System mediator. Blessing mediators always have sealing covenants and are always ransomed by Master Mediators  System mediators always have testing covenants.  

Jehovah is the God of the living not of the dead. So you cannot enter into a salvation covenant if you are shall we say completely dead. You need a testing vehicle which is living in order to exist as far as God is concerned - from a salvation testing standpoint. That vehicle is a non adamic human body or an angel. You do not need to actually possess either of these vehicles but you do need to have them as a promise. A system mediator can promise to give you such a vehicle because he is ransomed by his validation sacrifice and therefore has that vehicle from that ransom.

So a salvation covenant tree for a saved person looks like this: 

God > Master Mediator (Cherub) > Blessing Mediator > System Mediator > Sub Mediator > Saved person

The Mediator of the covenant is then ransomed by the ransomer who is called the validation sacrifice of the covenant. The mediator himself is the ransomee of the covenant. The Mediator then has children who enter into his salvation covenant and they inherit the life status of that mediator, when that mediator dies.

In the case of Abraham and the 1AC, God made a covenant with Abraham that he would be ransomed by Isaac. This body was the validation sacrifice of the 1AC. This did not actually mean that Abraham became non adamic whilst he was alive because Isaac had not died at the time Abraham lived. It meant that Abraham had a contract to become non adamic (in the sense of being free from Adamic death as Isaac's human body was) after he died physically, so long as Isaac did actually die in accordance with his agreement with God. In property terminology Abraham exchanged contracts on his new body, but that contract could not be completed either for him or for his covenanted sons until Isaac died.

But God could now regard Abraham as being non adamic and make a whole load of deals with him conditional upon the death of Isaac.

But if you go to a property dealer and show him a contract to buy the White House in 5 years time, you still have a marketable commodity! Likewise once God had decided to take Isaac's non adamic life as a ransom for Abraham, Abraham was able to enter into an agreement based not upon that ransom but upon the agreement for that ransom. 

So Abraham is contractually promised a non adamic body, that of Isaac, so he can now pass this contractual promise onto his sons by covenant. So all those who enter into the 1AC also get the promise of this non adamic body, because their father by covenant has such a body. But Abraham cannot pass on his life status to anyone until he has died, because you cannot replace his adamic body whilst he is still alive and living in it. Said body only becomes available at his death. All the sacrifices under the law of Moses show us this. The body of the bull and the blood of the bull were only available to be given to God once the bull was killed. This is why Paul said...

15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions [that were] under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. (KJV)
15 So that is why he is a mediator of a new covenant, in order that, because a death has occurred for [their] release by ransom from the transgressions under the former covenant, the ones who have been called might receive the promise of the everlasting inheritance. (NWT)

They key to understanding these words is to realise that the Greek word meaning covenanter also means bequeather or will maker or testator as the King James puts it. So a covenant is a legal arrangement for passing on to the covenant sons of a mediator the inheritance left by the will maker.

There are two validation sacrifices needed to start and to end as salvation test. The sealing sacrifice (the bull - which stands for endurance, for one is sealed after one has endured the test. If you have the endurance of a Bull then you will be sealed) and the testing sacrifice (the goat - before it is determined whether or not you are a sheep). The one being saved enters into the test by being washed in the blood of the one and passes the test by being washed in the blood of the other. So in the case of the ICC, the water baptism of the Christian church, one is washed in the blood of the ransomer of Isaac upon baptism and in the blood of Methuselah upon sealing. You can be washed in the promise of that blood. But you cannot get the blessing of the covenant until that blood is shed. There is no ICC blessing until the blood of both of these sacrifices is available. One cannot inherit anything until the inheritance becomes available. And the inheritance is not available until the bequeather dies. And the bequeather is the validation sacrifice. 

So the mediator of a covenant receives the covenant blessing from the validation sacrifice by ransom, and he passes it on by agreement with covenant sons whilst he is living. The mediator is passing on the benefit of the will of the bequeather to his covenant sons. The mediator is the executor of the will of the validation sacrifice.

Being totally specific about the ICC...

The will is made by the validation sacrifice.
God is the trustee of the will
Holy Spirit is the main executor of the will
Isaac is the main beneficiary (being ransomed by the validation sacrifice). He is the main heir of the will of the validation sacrifice
Moses, Elijah1, Elijah2, Elijah3, Elijah4, the sub mediators of the ICC, are the sub beneficiaries of the will, joint heirs with Isaac of the validation sacrifice and direct covenant children of Isaac.
Isaac and the submediators are sub executors of the will under the direction of the main executor, the holy spirit
When an LW priest water baptises someone into the 4EC, he becomes a covenant ancestor of the candidate acting as a covenant parent in line under Elijah4 and Isaac and acting as a sub-executor of the will of the validation sacrifice.
 
The submediators are not heirs of Isaac, we are heirs of his ransomer and we are his direct sons of Isaac by covenant. We do not benefit from the death of Isaac. We benefit from the death of his validation sacrifice and from the covenant procreation of Isaac, who has 4 covenant sons who are the mediators of the 1EC, the 2EC the 3EC and the 4EC. We are also sub executors of the will of the validation sacrifice of the ICC. 

So the sons of the ICC had a contract on a contract on a non adamic but ageing body, before the relevant validation sacrifice was made. Then they had a contract on a non adamic but ageing human body after it was made. They finally get a non adamic Abrahamic body after 2012Sivan15/16 if they have a valid water baptism at that time. In all cases the life status of the validation sacrifice is passed on to them by the executor through the mediator and sub mediators. 

So a son of the 4EC is a covenant son of Elijah4 and a covenant grandson of Isaac and an heir of the ICC validation sacrifice with Isaac and Elijah4 through the covenant procreation.

But it is apparent that Isaac's non adamic body is not going to get anyone through the whole kingdom of God, since it was an ageing body. So we need yet another ransom with a non ageing and non adamic body in order to get us a vehicle which can give us human life in the Kingdom of God for a thousand years. This body has to come from another non adamic human. We only get this body when we pass the testing process that we enter into through the ICC. For every salvation covenant enters its sons into a baptism test. The Kingdom body then, is the prize for passing that test.

So the mediator of a covenant executes the will of the validation sacrifices in that covenant chain in accordance with the will of God, to pass on the salvation benefits from its benefactors to its beneficiaries. 

However some of us will take a lot longer than others to reach that destination. But there is the beauty of free will! When each of us reaches that destination it will be because we chose that path, not because anyone else chose it for us or because anyone else forced us to go down it. It is like Neo said to Mr. Smith in the last of the Matrix movies when he was asked: Why do you keep on fighting? Neo answered: Because I choose to!

Whom did Jesus' non adamic human body Ransom?

God did not sacrifice the first Jesus in the Jordan river. Immanuel was raptured just as Michael entered his body, since he was non-adamic. It was Caiaphas, the high priest under law, who sacrificed the human body of Jesus, thereby ending both the law and the necessity for Jews to pay any attention to his own priesthood. 

Jesus' Yeshuaian non adamic human body provided the validation sacrifice for the OMC - see U218

So Jesus, by his human sacrifice, turned the curse of the law in to the love of the good Samaritan.

So now we can more fully understand Galatians 3...

13 Christ by purchase released us from the curse of the Law by becoming a curse instead of us, because it is written: Accursed is every man hanged upon a stake.
14 The purpose was that the blessing of Abraham might come to be in Jesus Christ for the nations [the blessing of the 1AC is kingdom citizenship which results from being sealed either into the FRC or the OMC. Jesus was the validation sacrifice for one of these, the OMC which he himself made with the faithful evildoer crucified next to him. The blessing of Abraham for Israel came through the FRC of Melchizedek], that we might receive the promised spirit through our faith.
15 Brothers, I speak with a human illustration: A validated covenant, though it is a man's, no one sets aside or attaches additions to it.
16 Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. It says, not: And to seeds, as in the case of many such, but as in the case of one: And to your seed, who is Christ.
17 Further, I say this: As to the covenant previously validated by God [Jehovah-Jireh 'God will provide' the knife for Isaac. The 1AC was validated by the death of non adamic Isaac aged 180 years], the Law that has come into being 430 years later [430 years not after the validation sacrifice but after the inauguration of the 1AC, the start of the 1AC, the crossing of the Euphrates by Abraham] does not invalidate it, so as to abolish the promise.
18 For if the inheritance is due to law, it is no longer due to promise; whereas God has kindly given it to Abraham through a promise.
19 Why, then, the Law? It was added to make transgressions manifest, until the seed should arrive to whom the promise had been made; and it was transmitted through angels by the hand of a mediator.
20 Now there is no mediator where only one person is concerned, but God is only one. (Galatians 3 NWT)

And we can more fully understand Genesis 22...

2 And he went on to say: Take, please, your son, your only son whom you so love, Isaac, and make a trip to the land of Moriah [God has chosen] and there offer him up as a burnt offering on one of the mountains that I shall designate to you.
3 So Abraham got up early in the morning and saddled his ass [the congregation of the sons of the 1AC] and took 2 of his boys/servants/attendants [Melchizedek, the validation sacrifice for the FRC and Jesus the validation sacrifice for the OMC] with him and Isaac his son; and he split the wood for the burnt offering. Then he rose and went on the trip to the place that the [true] God designated to him.
4 It was first on the 3rd day that Abraham raised his eyes and began to see the place from a distance.
5 Abraham now said to his attendants: You stay here with the ass [the 2 sealing covenants for the 1AC (the FRC and the OMC) wait with the sons of the 1AC], but I and the boy want to go on over there and worship and return to you [once we have validated the 1AC so that you can then seal people into the blessing of Abraham a Kingdom body - Melchizedaic or Yeshuaian].
6 After that Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and put it upon Isaac his son and took in his hands the fire and the slaughtering knife, and both of them went on together.
7 And Isaac began to say to Abraham his father: My father! In turn he said: Here I am, my son! So he continued: Here are the fire and the wood, but where is the sheep for the burnt offering?
8 To this Abraham said: God will provide himself the sheep for the burnt offering, my son [indeed, the sheep will be 'my son' at his death aged 180]. And both of them walked on together [the mediator and the validation sacrifice for the 1AC].
9 Finally they reached the place that the [true] God had designated to him, and Abraham built an altar there and set the wood in order and bound Isaac his son and put him upon the altar on top of the wood.
10 Then Abraham put out his hand and took the slaughtering knife to kill his son.
11 But Jehovah's angel began calling to him out of the heavens and saying: Abraham, Abraham! to which he answered: Here I am!
12 And he went on to say: Do not put out your hand against the boy and do not do anything at all to him, for now I do know that you are God-fearing in that you have not withheld your son, your only one, from me.
13 At that Abraham raised his eyes and looked and there, deep in the foreground, there was a ram caught by its horns in a thicket. So Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up for a burnt offering in place of his son.
14 And Abraham began to call the name of that place Jehovah-jireh [Jehovah will see - active voice]. This is why it is customarily said today: In the mountain of Jehovah it will be provided [passive voice it will be seen, be provided]. (Genesis 22 NWT)

Gabriel ransomed Jacob validating the JAC
John ransomed Isaac validating the ICC

The 1NC is a subcovenant of the JAC, so the cup of the First New Covenant contains the blood of JAC, which is the blood of the validation sacrifice of the JAC. This sacrifice cannot be the associated angel of a human who has never consciously entered into his angel because angelic sacrifices are not made due to an angel being killed. Angels cannot be killed other than by God. An angelic sacrifice is a free willed choice made by a conscious angel. But which one?

The first thing to realise is that it wasn't Michael. The reason we know this is that he died to ransom Adam, so he was the validation sacrifice of the angelic ransom covenant, the ARC, which is superior to all covenants, being the final destination of all who are saved. The new covenant is way down the tree from there. This is why Jesus did not say of the new covenant cup: This is my blood of the new covenant. What he said was: This is the new covenant by virtue of my blood. A statement which clearly implies that although his blood is 'responsible' for the new covenant, the blood of the covenant it wasn't. In other words as we have said above, Michael's blood validated a superior covenant.

So who validated the new covenant, who died for it? Well every day under law there were two constant feature sacrifices not one. The first one was in the evening, in the dark, not very visible, and the second was in the morning, fully visible. Since Jesus' sacrifice was in the day and was visible we are looking for a sacrifice at night, which was not so easily visible. The answer is John the baptist who was also non adamic and was possessed by Gabriel - see [229]. 

A more mundane interpretation of the constant feature is that we should pray to God every morning and every evening. This is not a law. It is a suggestion. A prayer is a lot easier to make than a burnt offering together with its grain offering and its drink offering!!

The sheep of John the baptist came from heavenly mount Zion, the mountain of God, God's heavenly administration because he was non adamic. John was killed by Herod at night, after the daughter of Herodias' death dance. Gabriel had left him before his head was cut off however - see U932 for the full symbolism.

21 But a convenient day came along when Herod spread an evening meal on his birthday for his top-ranking men and the military commanders and the foremost ones of Galilee.
22 And the daughter of this very Herodias came in and danced and pleased Herod and those reclining with him. The king said to the maiden: Ask me for whatever you want, and I will give it to you.
23 Yes, he swore to her: Whatever you ask me for, I will give it to you, up to half my kingdom.
24 And she went out and said to her mother: What should I ask for? She said: The head of John the baptiser (Mark 6).

Of course John had to be non adamic in order to be possessed by the angelic priest Gabriel in order to preside over the angelic entrance of Michael into Jesus, and the angelic rapture of Immanuel, the non adamic carpenter's son.

So John the human was killed although he wasn't under an adamic death sentence, so we have a validation sacrifice here. But which covenant did he validate? Well he was the first Christian Elijah, the first subcovenant of the ICC. So if we follow the pattern of firstborn sons being validators of their father's covenants (that we saw with Isaac validating the 1AC), then John validated the ICC. 

But what about Gabriel who possessed him at the start of his ministry up until before he sent two of his disciples to Jesus when he was in Jail to ask if he was the coming one (which Gabriel would not have done having baptised him)?

2 But John, having heard in jail about the works of the Christ, sent by means of his own disciples
3 and said to him: Are you the Coming One, or are we to expect a different one? (Matthew 11 NWT)

19 So John summoned a certain 2 of his disciples and sent them to the Lord to say: Are you the Coming One or are we to expect a different one?
20 When they came up to him the men said: John the Baptist dispatched us to you to say, 'Are you the Coming One or are we to expect another?'
21 In that hour he cured many of sicknesses and grievous diseases and wicked spirits, and granted many blind persons the favour of seeing.
22 Hence in answer he said to the [two]: Go your way, report to John what you saw and heard: the blind are receiving sight, the lame are walking, the lepers are being cleansed and the deaf are hearing, the dead are being raised up, the poor are being told the good news.
23 And happy is he who has not stumbled over me (Luke 7 NWT).

Well just as Abraham had his covenant seed of the 1AC through the validation sacrifice of his genetic seed Isaac, and just as Isaac had his covenant seed of the ICC through the validation sacrifice of the first submediator of that covenant, John the baptist, so Jesus has his 1NC seed through the validation sacrifice of his firstborn angelic son Gabriel. So that the covenant seed is through the same vehicle as the procreative seed in all 3 cases. So Gabriel ransomed Jacob and all the angelic sons of the JAC are thanks to him. We do not know which angel ransomed Nahor for the NAC or Shem for the SAC.

The 3 Ransom Covenants and the 3 Blessing/Sealing Covenants

Now that we have seen the 3 types of salvation and the 3 testing covenants for these (the 1AC, the ICC and the JAC). We need to discover the sealing/blessing covenants for these, which those who pass the salvation tests gain entry to. 

The ARC and the ABC: It was the angel Michael in Jesus who ransomed Adam angelically - see I47. We call his agreement with God to do that the Angelic Ransom Covenant (ARC). So the ARC is the ransom covenant for the JAC. And Michael's everlasting angel was the validation sacrifice for that ransom. So that puts Adam ins the position of being the mediator of that blessing, since he is the one who was ransomed. So there is no everlasting life for any creation other than through Adam actually. We call the covenant by which Adam mediates everlasting angelic life, the Angelic Blessing Covenant (ABC). 

The CRC and the CBC: We have seen in Intro21, that Michael Gabriel and Melchizedek have come here 16x (plus Jesse) as non adamic humans. And in the pre flood system, Michael came as Enoch, who was transferred so as not to see death. Gabriel Came as Methuselah and Jared was Adam number2 who became Melchizedek in the post flood system. So we have two non adamic patriarchs, Jared and Methuselah who died at 962 and 969 years of age respectively in circumstance where the maximum adamic lifespan was 960 years. These people must have been validation sacrifices for sealing covenants because they plainly had ageless kingdom bodies. Jared must have been a ransomer of Adam for a faith testing covenant, since faith comes first. And Methuselah was definitely the ransomer for a church testing covenant because he died in the year of the flood and the flood water baptised the entire planet in circumstances where Noah became the father of all mankind through water. So Noah was the blessing mediator of the covenant we call the Church Blessing Covenant (for all those with a water baptism) and he was ransomed by Methuselah under the Church Ransom Covenant. .

Gabriel possessed Methuselah whose name means either 'his death shall bring judgement', or 'when he is dead, it shall be sent'. It seems likely the Gabriel was possessing Methuselah at the time of his sacrificial death in the year of the flood - for why else would he possess him? Methuselah did not baptise anyone non adamic, he was the last of the non adamic trio Jared, Enoch and himself. 

The book of Enoch puts his death as 7 days before the flood i.e. 2371Heshvan10 (and has his wife's name as Edna). So his death triggered the flood and he was the master mediator of the Priesthood water baptism sealing covenant, the CRC - how appropriate!

His ransom covers all those who are 'water baptised' into any of the true religions and keep the laws of that church so as to be sealed in circumstances where false religions also exist. There were no false religions in the pre-flood system. Post flood false religions spring from the tower of Babel which was built in Babylon in the peri-flood system. God made the CRC with Gabriel and he died in the year of the flood inside Methuselah as a Ransom for the human body of Noah, the father of all those saved by water baptism. Noah died in 2021 BC, aged 950 - see U101, with a 960 year max lifespan body. Gabriel gave God Methuselah's non ageing body as a ransom for Noah's human body so that all the sons of Noah by covenant, in fact the sons of the Church Blessing Covenant, the CBC, can get a resurrection in a non ageing Methuselaian version of their old body. This is the permanent blessing of the CBC, the covenant between Gabriel who died in Methuselah and Noah. One permanent blessing of the CBC is a Methuselaian body in the Kingdom of God. But there is another blessing under this covenant.

Now Noah, was the father of the world through a deluge of water. So he is the obvious candidate for the blessing mediator of the CRC, the covenant entered through completing a water baptism, the sealing covenant for every true church. For Noah and his family were the only ones to survive the water baptism of the entire human race that occurred in 2370 BC. Noah's ark symbolises the CRC. Further Noah is the first character in the bible who is said to preach righteousness, the job of the true church...

5 and he did not hold back from punishing an ancient world, but kept Noah, a preacher of righteousness, safe with 7 others when he brought a deluge upon a world of ungodly people (2 Peter 2).

Furthermore Noah was to bring rest to the work of our hands...

29 And he proceeded to call his name Noah, saying: This one will bring us comfort from our work and from the toil of our hands resulting from the ground which Jehovah has cursed (Genesis 5).

This comfort comes with the paradise of Eden2 or Eden3, the kingdom of God, the Sabbath over which Jesus is Lord.

So Noah is the father of water baptism, the ransomee of Methuselah. In fact all humans today have two genetic fathers, Adam and Noah. And these two are also covenant fathers one of the spirit baptised and the faithful and the other of the water baptised.

Those in the CRC, cease being Noah's sons genetically and become his sons behaviourally. This preaching of righteousness was also true of the Jews who persuaded many proselytes to obey the Law of Moses. The CRC is the covenant for the priests of the Kingdom of God, their priesthood being the second blessing God gives under the CBC for finding and for having the courage to join and remain in a true religion, withstanding all of Satan's sick and destructive and dishonest trickery as he tries to bowl you over.

Why is it that entry to the ICC is through water baptism? True a bath cleans away physical dirt from the past which symbolises fleshly sins committed in the past. But surely all water baptisms point back to the flood?

The FRC and the FBC: Jared was the 2nd Adam. He provides an alternative fix for Adam's sin to that provided by Jesus. Jared was non adamic and so died sacrificially. He was the validation sacrifice of the Faith Ransom Covenant, since faith comes first, then Enoch, his son (who housed Michael) ransomed Adam angelically, then Methuselah, his son (who housed Gabriel) ransomed Noah for the Church Ransom Covenant. Since the order of salvation for all of us can either be faith then being born again then finding the true church or faith then finding the true church then being born again. So Adam was the mediator of the Faith Blessing Covenant and he was ransomed by the non adamic human body of Jesus, the last Adam, for the JLC and by the non adamic human body of Jared, the 2nd Adam, for the FRC. 

So now we have the 3 master salvation covenants and the 3 blessing covenants and the 9 patriarchal covenants and promises, it is time to see the full picture of all 24 salvation covenants in the Covenant Chart.

There are 3 successive systems of this world from a covenant standpoint. These are the pre-flood system, the post-flood system and the Abrahamic system. We take the Abrahamic system as starting with the First Abrahamic Covenant of Genesis 12, which was inaugurated, when Abraham crossed the Euphrates into the land of Canaan in fulfilment of his obligations under that covenant on 1943Nisan14 BC. 

Furthermore we know the Jared came back to earth as Melchizedek in the post flood system. And Paul informs us at length that...

1 For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him
2 and to whom Abraham apportioned a 10th from all things, is first of all, by translation, King of Righteousness, and is then also king of Salem, that is, King of Peace.
3 In being fatherless, motherless, without genealogy, having neither a beginning of days nor an end of life, but having been made like the Son of God, he remains a priest perpetually.
4 Behold, then, how great this man was to whom Abraham, the family head, gave a 10th out of the chief spoils.
5 True, the men from the sons of Levi who receive their priestly office have a commandment to collect tithes from the people according to the Law, that is, from their brothers, even if these have issued from the loins of Abraham;
6 but the man who did not trace his genealogy from them [no he traced it from Mahalalel] took tithes from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises.
7 Now without any dispute, the less is blessed by the greater.
8 And in the one case it is men who are dying that receive tithes, but in the other case it is someone of whom it is witnessed that he lives.
9 And, if I may use the expression, through Abraham even Levi who receives tithes has paid tithes,
10 for he was still in the loins of his forefather when Melchizedek met him.
11 If, then, perfection were really through the Levitical priesthood, for with it as a feature the people were given the Law, what further need would there be for another priest to arise according to the manner of Melchizedek and not said to be according to the manner of Aaron?
12 For since the priesthood is being changed, there comes to be of necessity a change also of the law.
13 For the man respecting whom these things are said has been a member of another tribe, from which no one has officiated at the altar.
14 For it is quite plain that our Lord has sprung up out of Judah, a tribe about which Moses spoke nothing concerning priests.
15 And it is still more abundantly clear that with a similarity to Melchizedek there arises another priest,
16 who has become such, not according to the law of a commandment depending upon the flesh, but according to the power of an indestructible life,
17 for in witness it is said: You are a priest forever according to the manner of Melchizedek. (Hebrews 7 NWT)

Melchizedek had an indestructible life like Jesus, was made like Jesus and was a high priest according to the manner of Jesus, since Jesus was a high priest according to the manner of Melchizedek. So Melchizedek was a master mediator with God os a ransom covenant to give his ageless body to the sons of Abraham by covenant. 

Genetic Sons and Covenant Sons

15 For neither is circumcision anything nor is uncircumcision, but a new creation [is something] [being born again, gaining an angelic body, becoming a spirit son of God, a spirit begotten son of God].
16 And all those who will walk orderly by this rule of conduct, upon them be peace and mercy, even upon the Israel of God [The sons of Jacob/Israel by covenant, the sons of the JAC] (Galatians 6).

A genetic son is a fleshly descendant of his two parents. He undergoes no test, he just appears. Well actually his birth is more of a test on the mother than it is on the son! And no one argues that such a descendant is not a proper son of his parents for the family resemblances are there for all to see. 

Now we as humans rejoice when the son of a great footballer becomes a great footballer, or when the son of a great orator becomes a great orator. But actually it is very few of the sons and daughters of great parents who achieve the greatness of their fathers or mothers. It is true that Brian Clough's son, Nigel, was a very good footballer, but his father was the best manager that England never had. And on that subject it is a good thing that the writer does not decide who goes to Gehenna, or those in the FA who choose to overlook Cloughie would be pot roast! 

But seriously Beethoven's son, Mozart's son, Rossini's son, Einstein's son, Picasso's son, Leonardo da Vinci's son, Michael Angelo's son, Zowie Bowie, Dweezel Dillon, Renoir's son, Martin Luther King's son, Pele's son, Bobby Charlton's son, George Harrison's son, where are they? They none of them achieved the greatness of their fathers. Although Dexter King is trying to get some justice for his father as regards who really killed him. 

Sons do not in general follow their fathers in spirit, they follow them in flesh, with the exception of some really great fathers who dedicate their lives to teaching their sons and daughters, and some really great sons and daughters who actually listen in humility. History shows us that Laila Ali (Mohammed Ali's daughter) and Nigel Clough and Kate Hudson (Goldie Hawn's daughter) and Michael Douglas and Gwyneth Paltrow etc. are the exceptions rather than the rule. Perhaps daughters are more likely to follow in their parent's footsteps today than sons!

But who really is the son of Einstein? Is it a genetic descendant of his who by random chance popped out of a woman he slept with, or is it Stephen Hawking who made a conscious decision to spend his life grappling with the same galactic equations that Einstein did?

Who really are the children of the Fab 4? Dhali Harrison and Stella McCartney, or is it perhaps the thousands of songwriters and performers inspired by the melodies, harmonies and rhythms of the Beatles?

Who really are the sons of Jacques Cousteau? His physical progeny on dry land or all those who take a video camera underwater like he did?

And who really are the sons of Neil Armstrong? The children of his loins down here on the earth, or the children of his heart up there in space?

The 12 sons that Jacob fathered were not chosen by him, they were given him by God through 4 women. But the 12 Jesus chose were his disciples, they were people who wanted to learn from him (at first), they were not people he produced with the aid of a human wife. Although in truth they were born again through the heavenly woman who is the holy spirit, God's wife.

This question of descent, the question of how to be a son, is what God is asking us through the juxtaposition of the Jews of the old testament with the Christians of the new testament. For the Jews were a race of genetic descendants of Jacob, whereas the Christians are a race of those who attempt to be behavioural descendants of Jesus. The way Paul put it was...

28 For he is not a Jew who is one on the outside, nor is circumcision that which is on the outside upon the flesh.
29 But he is a Jew who is one on the inside, and [his] circumcision is that of the heart by spirit, and not by a written
code. The praise of that one comes, not from men, but from God (Romans 2).

You see we all have free will and the capability to reason. These things are everyone's sovereign possession. They are a gift from God which only Satan and his blind followers try to deny us. It is our use of these divine qualities that truly determines whether or not we are a son of someone, not our genetic code. If we choose to sacrifice thousands of other people's lives in order to gain more power or glory for ourselves for a few years, then we are sons of today's politicians, we are sons of this world. If we choose to sacrifice ourselves for the benefit of thousands of others, whether the sacrifice is small or large or even our very life, then we are sons of the next world and we are sons of freedom. For freedom requires self sacrifice. That is a sacrifice by us for others, and in a free society such sacrifices are reciprocated. For truly, we are all precisely as free as the sacrifices that our brothers are prepared to make for us. 

We are all as free as the sacrifices we are prepared to make for each other.

The US and the UK and the Australians used to know what that kind of sacrifice meant and we rightly honour those who made that sort of sacrifice for our freedom in two world wars, a sacrifice that this generation, thank God, has not been called upon to make. But today we are corrupted, and now we go in for the other kind of sacrifice and don't even bother to count how many civilian casualties we cause in our pointless evangelism of democracy to a country which is not suited to that method of government. 

The choices we make determine our covenant parenthood or lack of the same. Our covenant parenthood determines our role in the next system, the Kingdom of God. Judicially, all those of questionable covenant parentage (the covenant bastards) end up in Hell, Gehenna, the 1,000 year sin bin.

The Testing of Covenant Children

Since covenants are entered into as a result of choices, they require a period of testing to determine how strongly the candidate holds these choices. Many a general election has been won not by the party whom the majority of people support, but by the party who got the larger majority of their people to the polling station. Elections are not about which way you would like to vote, they are about which way you actually vote and if you can be bothered to vote at all! They are not about which choice you have made, they are about how strongly you adhere to that choice and how forcefully you express it. So personal choices require time and testing to be verified. It is not hard to obey God's laws for 5 minutes. It is quite hard to obey them for 5 years, until you understand that they are all actually in your interest. When a believer holds true to his choices and passes the test, then the bible describes him as 'sealed' or as 'declared righteous'. At this point he enters into one of the 3 blessing covenants. Incidentally the testing for the FBC, the covenant of faith, is all done by the angels, with no human involvement at all.

So because there is a necessary period of testing, God cannot just stick people in the FRC, the CRC or the ARC since they would then immediately get a permanent blessing. For whoever enters the ARC gets everlasting life as an angel. So one obviously needs to prove oneself under test, before God will make such a commitment on your behalf. After all he is going to have to live with you for ever in circumstances where the best of us find it hard or impossible to live with the same partner for more than 25 years! 

So each of the 3 systems has a whole tree of temporary covenants which enter you into the various temporary tests which, if passed, put you into one or more of the 3 permanent blessing covenants.

The 4 Elijah Covenants of the 4 True Christian churches

The 4 Elijah covenants, EC1, EC2, EC3, EC4 are the legal basis for the 4 true Christian churches - see I45. Jesus was the chief cornerstone of the first, Paul was the cornerstone of the second, Russell, who founded what is now the Watchtower, was the cornerstone of the third and Gordon, the writer, is the cornerstone of the fourth. For every temple sanctuary had 4 corners and this is why the scripture says:

42 Jesus said to them: Did you never read in the Scriptures, 'The stone that the builders rejected is the one that has become the chief cornerstone. From Jehovah this has come to be, and it is marvellous in our eyes'? (Matthew 21).

And for all of you who think that Jesus was the only human validation sacrifice in the entire plan of God, consider this ye babes...

22 Yes, nearly all things are cleansed with blood according to the Law, and unless blood is poured out no forgiveness takes place.
23 Therefore it was necessary that the typical representations of the things in the heavens should be cleansed by these means, but the heavenly things themselves with sacrifices that are better than such sacrifices [we are saved by many better sacrifices].

The 4 Master Mediators of 1Timothy 2:5

Very few men or angels covenant directly with God, because St. Paul has told us literally:

5 For one God, one also [a] mediator of God and of men, [a] man, [a] Christ, Jesus.
6 The one having given himself [as a] corresponding ransom over all ones (1 Timothy 2 - Literal translation)

The literal meaning of this wonderful piece of scriptural ambiguity is. 

5 For one God [there is], one [God who is] also a mediator of Jehovah and of men, [a] man, [a] Christ, Jesus
6 The one having given himself [his everlasting angelic body] [as a] corresponding ransom over all ones [in the ARC] (1 Timothy 2 - Literal translation)

For Jesus became a God when he gave up his everlasting angel. He could not remain an angel and he did not become human. So he was given a divine body - see Intro26

But the phrase: [a] man, [a] Christ, Jesus is a triple designation, since the word 'Christ' [Cristoj] is used as a noun if we translate this as a man, an anointed [one], Jesus - see the Successive Designation Principle of the code. So there a 3 word symbolic meanings to Paul's words in addition to the literal meaning. The 3 word symbolic threads are...

5 For one God [there was before the flood], also one mediator of God and of men, a man [Melchizedek].
6 The one having given himself [his human body] [as a] corresponding ransom over all ones [in the FRC] (1 Timothy 2 - Literal translation)

5 For one God [there was after the flood and before Jesus], and one mediator of God and mediator of men, a Christ [Methuselah - who was possessed by the angel Gabriel, a hybrid, not merely a man].
6 The one having given himself [his human body] [as a] corresponding ransom over all ones [in the CRC] (1 Timothy 2 - Literal translation)

5 For one God [there is], one [God who is] also a mediator of God and mediator of men, Jesus [The non adamic human].
6 The one having given himself [his Yeshuaian body] [as a] corresponding ransom over all ones [in the JLC] (1 Timothy 2 - Literal translation)

Please have a look at our chart of all the 24 salvation covenants for the sons of Adam - covenant chart

The 8 System Mediators

To find out who were the system mediators for the post-flood system we examine all of the scriptures which describe Jehovah as being the God of someone or some group. Any person to whom God is described in scripture as being the God of him, has a covenant with God. Jehovah, the God of Shem is a Euphemism for: God has made a covenant with Shem. For God himself said:

6 And he went on to say: I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. Then Moses concealed his face, because he was afraid to look at the [true] God. (Exodus 3 NWT)

Abraham and Isaac and Jacob were all system mediators of salvation covenants.

26 Blessed be Jehovah, God of Shem (Genesis 9).

18 Jehovah the God of the Hebrews [Not the God of Eber. But the God of the sons of Eber] (Exodus 3).

25 And to Eber there were 2 sons born. The name of the one was Peleg, because in his days the earth was divided; and the name of his brother was Joktan. (Genesis 10 NWT)

19 And to Eber 2 sons were born. The name of the one was Peleg, because in his days the earth was divided; and the name of his brother was Joktan. (1 Chronicles 1 NWT)

Two parallel accounts of the earth being divided. So the earth was divided at Babel into the languages during the days of Peleg. And the church, the earth, was divided, i.e. separated out by baptising people into the first church testing covenant the Peleg Church Covenant! So Peleg had the holy covenant to divide off the earth, the congregation of God's true people - Hence his name means division.

53 [the] God of Abraham and [the] God of Nahor [Abraham's brother], may they judge [polite plural - Jehovah forms no judging union with any other God prior to Jesus] between us, the God [singular] of their father [Terah, so Nahor is Abraham's brother not his Grandad], judge between us (Genesis 31)

The city of Nahor [Abraham's brother] was a true worshipping city, because Isaac took his wife Rebekah from that city at God's command...

10 So the servant took ten camels from the camels of his master and  proceeded to go with every sort of good thing of his master's in his hand. Then he rose and got on his way to Mesopotamia to the city of Nahor (Genesis 24).

50 Then Laban [Rebekah's brother] and Bethuel [Rebekah's father, the son of Nahor, Abraham's brother] answered and said: From Jehovah this thing has issued. We are unable to speak bad or good to you.
51 Here is Rebekah before you. Take her and go, and let her become a wife to the son of your master, just as Jehovah has spoken (Genesis 24).

Although Abraham, Nahor and Terah, having come from Ur of the Chaldeans, did not worship the true God at first...

2 And he said Joshua, to all of the people: This, he says, Jehovah, God of Israel: At beyond the river they lived, fathers of you [polite plural - not all of Abraham's forefather's were false worshippers initially] at long ago, Terah, father of Abraham and father of Nahor, and they worshipped Gods, other ones.
3 But I took, namely father of you, namely Abraham, from beyond the river and I lead him through all of land of Canaan and I made many namely descendant of him and I gave to him namely Isaac (Joshua 24). 

Nahor is Hebrew means 'snorter', i.e. A quick outpouring of the breath or spirit of life! So he mediates a spirit covenant. He is the peri-flood system mediator of the ARC.

5 In order that, to quote him, they may believe that Jehovah the God of their forefathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you (Exodus 4).

So the salvation triumvirate for the peri-flood system was Shem, Peleg and Nahor. Shem was the Abraham of the post-flood system. Peleg was the Isaac (the son of the Patriarch), and Nahor was the Jacob.

As a further confirmation, another euphemism for having a covenant with God is 'walking with God'. Here are the people who the bible describes as: Walking with God.

22 And after his fathering Methuselah Enoch went on walking with the [true] God three hundred years. Meanwhile he became father to sons and daughters.
23 So all the days of Enoch amounted to three hundred and sixty-five years.
24 And Enoch kept walking with the [true] God. Then he was no more, for God took him (Genesis 5).

9 This is the history of Noah. Noah was a righteous man. He proved himself faultless among his contemporaries. Noah walked with the [true] God (Genesis 6).

15 And he proceeded to bless Joseph and to say: The [true] God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, the [true] God who has been shepherding me during all my existence until this day (Genesis 48).

25 And now, O Jehovah the God of Israel, keep toward your servant David my father that which you promised him, saying: There will not be cut off a man of yours from before me to sit upon the throne of Israel if only your sons will take care of their way by walking before me just as you have walked before me (1 Kings 8).

So again all of these men, Noah, Enoch, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and David who are said to have 'walked with God' had covenants with God. Indeed this was why God went for a stroll with them. 

So now we need a salvation triumvirate for the pre-flood system since those who lived then could not just jump into a blessing covenant without a baptism and a test. And the 3 system mediators of the pre-flood system must all be forefathers of Jacob as we saw above. They are all patriarchs in the line to Jesus.

Both Abel and his sacrifice found favour with God. 

4 But as for Abel, he too brought some firstlings [plural] of his flock, even their fatty pieces. Now while Jehovah was looking with favour upon Abel and his offering (Genesis 4).

By faith Abel pleased God so as to be declared righteous. 

4 By faith Abel offered God a sacrifice of greater worth than Cain, through which [faith] he had witness borne to him that he was righteous, God bearing witness respecting his gifts; and through it he, although he died, yet speaks (Hebrews 11).

Since he was declared righteous by faith, he must have passed a baptism test. So Abel must have entered the FRC just before he died so must have been in a faith system covenant prior to giving his sacrifice. But faith system covenants such as the 1AC are mediated by the first one in that system with faith. So he is the only person who could have mediated that covenant, since Adam could not mediate a covenant with himself and since Cain was certainly not mediating any covenant of faith, and Abel was the secondborn. Also his blood cried out from the ground and spoke...

10 At this he said: What have you done? Listen! Your brother's blood is crying out to me from the ground.
11 And now you are cursed in banishment from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood at your hand. (Genesis 4 NWT).

24 and Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and the blood of sprinkling, which speaks in a better way than Abel's [blood]. (Hebrews 12 NWT).

The blood of the new New Covenant speaks in a better way than the blood of Abel's covenant. For he was the first mediator of a salvation covenant to be killed.

But Abel offered firstlings [plural] of the flock. So he was sacrificing with respect to a plurality of covenants. Now the CBC was not made until after Noah was born since he mediated it. Therefore Abel could not have been in the system covenant of the CRC. Therefore he must have been in a system covenant of the ARC as well as being in the AFC (Abelian Faith Covenant), the system covenant of the FRC. It does not matter that Jared who was Melchizedek's first manifestation, who mediated the FRC, was not born when Abel died or that the JLC ransom of Jesus had not yet been made. There will always be a faith covenant in any system with Jehovah as its God. So Abel got the System Covenant of faith before the Master Covenant of faith was made. But who mediated the pre-flood system covenant of the ARC?

Well there are no pre-flood patriarchs who are euphemistically called covenanters with God by virtue of God being described as being theirs as in the cases of Shem, Peleg and Nahor. But we do know that Michael who was the validation sacrifice for the ARC also mediated the 1NC a subcovenant of the ARC in the system in which he died. So by symmetry, Gabriel in Methuselah, the validation sacrifice of the CRC, should have mediated a subcovenant of the CRC in the system in which he died, the pre-flood system. But against this we have the fact that no one was saved in the ark other than Noah's family and that Methuselah died in 2371 the year of the flood, which indicates that the CRC related to the peri-flood system and not the pre-flood system. Also Aaron spattered blood 7x before the curtain of Jesus' flesh not 8x, so there were 7 validation sacrifices before Jesus died in validation of the OMC not 8. So Methuselah did not mediate a pre-flood system covenant of the CRC.

We now need one more preflood system mediator for the ARC. Well consider please the scripture...

25 And Adam proceeded to have intercourse again with his wife and so she gave birth to a son and called his name Seth, because, as she said: God has appointed another seed in place of Abel, because Cain killed him.
26 And to Seth also there was born a son and he proceeded to call his name Enosh. At that time a start was made of calling on the name of Jehovah (Genesis 4).

Well Abel had a covenant, and if Seth is to replace Abel in a greater sense, then perhaps he has one too! Certainly he supplanted him, as Jacob did with Esau. And calling upon the name of Jehovah is true worship. So Seth was a true worshipper.

32 And it must occur that everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will get away safe; for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will prove to be the escaped ones, just as Jehovah has said, and in among the survivors, whom Jehovah is calling (Joel 2).

So we now have our 2 pre-flood system mediators: Abel, and Seth, (Enoch cannot have mediated any pre-flood covenant since mediators must die but he was transferred so as not to see death in that system. He was possessed by Michael the mediator of the ARC however, hence he walked with God when so possessed)...

5 By faith Enoch was transferred so as not to see death, and he was nowhere to be found because God had transferred him; for before his transference he had the witness that he had pleased God well (Hebrews 11).

And all salvation covenant mediators have to furnish their death to God....

17 For a covenant is valid over dead [victims], since it is not in force at any time while the [human] covenanter is living (Hebrews 9).

Here then is a table summarizing our 8 system mediators...

In the pre-flood system the order of the mediators is Faith, Spirit, Water, rather than Faith, Water, Spirit even as the 3 non adamic master mediators came in the order Melchizedek, Michael, Gabriel in the pre flood system in Jared, Enoch, Methuselah respectively, rather than in the order Melchizedek, Gabriel, Michael, which is the order the appear in the post flood systems.

Paul's Explanation in Galatians 3

6 Just as Abraham was faithful to the God, and it was counted to him as righteousness [this being his sealing into the FRC].
7 Surely you know that those [who act] out of faith are the ones who are sons of Abraham [through the 1AC].
8 Now the Scripture, seeing in advance that God would declare people of the nations righteous out of/due to faith, declared the good news beforehand to Abraham, namely: By means of you all the nations will be blessed [literal the nations are blessed through the 1AC. But the churches, the true churches, the nations by baptism, also take their flock from the 1AC].
9 Consequently those [who act] out of faith are being blessed together with the faithful Abraham.
10 For all those who depend upon works of law are under a curse; for it is written: Cursed is every one that does not continue in all the things written in the scroll of the Law in order to do them.
11 Moreover, that by law no one is declared righteous with God is evident, because the righteous one will live by reason of faith.
12 Now the Law is not out of faith, but he that does them shall live by means of them.
13 Christ by purchase released us from the curse of the Law by becoming a curse instead of us, because it is written: Accursed is every man hanged upon a stake.
14 The purpose was that the blessing of Abraham [his monopoly over the official people of God through the LCC] might come to be by means of Jesus Christ for the nations [the uncircumcised could join the official people of God, who were now the first true Christian church], that we might receive the promised spirit [the gifts thereof?] through our faith.
15 Brothers, I am speaking in human terms: A validated covenant [The 1AC validated by God at the sacrificial death of non adamic Isaac], though it is a man's, no one sets aside or attaches additions to it [like God did with LCC].
16 Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. It says, not: And to seeds, as in the case of many such, but as in the case of one: And to your seed [who was Jacob. For what will be called your seed will be through Isaac], who/which is Christ/anointed [Jacob was anointed - Christos - he was born again, he is now a King on Eden2 presumably. The seed is Jacob and the sons of the JAC, all the saints, all the ones who are anointed to be Kings or Lords in the Kingdom of God. This is NOT JESUS CHRIST. The promises were not spoken to him].
17 Further, I say this: As to the covenant previously validated by God [Through the death of non adamic Isaac as a ransom for Abraham. The LCC was validated by the furnace and the torch in Genesis 15 on the day it was actually made. so arguably it too was validated by God, although Abraham sacrificed the animals, not God who burnt them up. Actually that is an acceptance by God of Abraham's sacrifice. So the LCC was validated by Abraham not by God], the Law that has come into being 430 years later does not invalidate it, so as to abolish the promise [The 1AC was inaugurated when Abraham crossed the Euphrates on 1943Nisan14, the law came into being not by the verbal agreement of 1513Sivan6, but by the sacrifice of Moses on 1513Sivan7].
18 For if the inheritance is due to law, it is no longer due to promise; whereas God has kindly given it to Abraham through a promise (Galatians 3).

Paul's explanation in Romans 4:

6 Just as David also speaks of the happiness of the man to whom God counts righteousness apart from works:
7 Happy are those whose lawless deeds have been pardoned and whose sins have been covered [under the 1AC or the ICC].
8 Happy is the man whose sin Jehovah will by no means take into account [spirit baptised into the JAC].
9 Does this happiness, then, come upon circumcised people or also upon uncircumcised people? For we say: His faith was counted to Abraham as righteousness.
10 Under what circumstances, then, was it counted? When he was in circumcision or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
11 And he received a sign, namely, circumcision, as a seal of the righteousness by the faith he had while in his uncircumcised state, that he might be the father of all those having faith while in uncircumcision [through the 1AC], in order for righteousness to be counted to them [through the FRC];
12 and a father of circumcision, [yet] not only to the [ones] out of circumcision [his genetic sons], but also to those who walk orderly in the footsteps of that faith while in the uncircumcised state which our father Abraham had [his covenant sons through the 1AC].
13 For it was not through law that Abraham or his seed had the promise that he should be heir of a world, but it was through the righteousness by faith.
14 For if those who adhere to law are heirs, faith has been made useless and the promise has been abolished.
15 In reality the Law produces wrath, but where there is no law, neither is there any transgression [the Law of Moses exposed sin. It was not a salvation covenant] .
16 On this account it was as a result of faith, that it might be according to undeserved kindness, in order for the promise to be sure to all his seed, not only to that which adheres to the Law, but also to that which adheres to the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all [through the 1AC],
17 just as it is written: I have appointed you a father of many nations. This was in the sight of the One in whom he had faith, even of God, who makes the dead alive and calls the things that are not as though they were.

So everyone who has true faith (AND obeys the law of his conscience) is in the 1AC (the Abrahamic Faith Covenant) and is being tested for FRC sealing and has the first happiness of David through faith not works. 
Those of this group who act on true faith by joining the true congregation of God, which is the congregation of those who have gained entry to ICC, promised to Abraham's seed in the ACP, are the sons of Isaac. They have to obey both their conscience and the law of the church in order to attain righteousness in the flesh through abstaining from bad works according to the rules of the true congregation and the law of their conscience. Those in the 1AC or in the ICC who go on to attain the second happiness of David, which is to have a clean conscience, have all ones sins forgiven until time indefinite. Such people are born again and have gained entry into JAC, promised to Abraham's seed in the AAP. These then are the sons of Jacob by covenant.

The LCC ended with the conversion of Cornelius

We know that the LCC was to be 'set aside' since it is compared to the 1AC which is not set aside or added to in Galatians 3 (whereas the LCC is certainly added to and therefore will be set aside). 

15 Brothers, I speak with a human illustration: A validated covenant, though it is a man's, no one sets aside or attaches additions to it. (Galatians 3 NWT)

This obviously occurred when the first uncircumcised man became one of God's people, being baptised by Peter in water after the gifts of the spirit fell upon him and his house in the presence of Peter. This was the conversion of the Roman officer Cornelius in Acts 10, the apostle Peter said:

34 At this Peter opened his mouth and said: For a certainty I perceive that God is not partial, 
35 but in every nation the man that fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him (Acts 10).

48 With that he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they requested him to remain for some days (Acts 10).

This marked the end of the LCC, which was an exclusive deal to be God's official people (sons of the ICC) for Abraham's genetic descendants subject to a fleshly circumcision. This is also referred to in one meaning of Daniel 9:

27 And he must keep [the] covenant in force for the many for one 7 and at the half of the 7 he will cause sacrifice and gift offering to cease (Daniel 9).

The seven here is 7 years from 29Tishri10, the baptism of Jesus to 36Tishri14, the conversion of Cornelius (4 days after Peter's fast on Atonement day), in the middle of which Jesus died and ended all valid sacrifices under the law of Moses. But during the entire period of the LCC every single son of Abraham and every son of his household had a right to live in the promised land which ran from the Nile to the Euphrates. However all of them, the sons of Ishmael and Esau included should have submitted to the Law of Moses voluntarily. Since this was the Law of God for all of his people not just for the genetic sons of Jacob. 

Why Gabriel himself was the Master Mediator of the CRC

We know that Jared who was Melchizedek was non adamic because he lived for 962 years which was 2 years over the 960 year pre flood adamic limit see I20 and see I15. We know too that Enoch his son was non adamic and possessed by Michael - see I16. Now there is a 3rd musketeer to this triumvirate in the form of Methuselah, the son of Enoch. Methuselah lived for 969 year and was therefore also non adamic. He was in fact the 4th Adam, and Enoch was the 3rd Adam and Jared (Melchizedek) was the 2nd Adam. All Adam's have children by covenant. In fact all non adamic humans either mediate a covenant or validate a covenant through sacrifice. They are all saviours of Adam. Now the order of salvation is faith water spirit or faith spirit water. Whereas the order of birth of these 3 non adamic patriarchs was Melchizedek, Enoch, Methuselah. Now Melchizedek has the Faith Ransom Covenant, Enoch was possessed by Michael who has the Angelic Ransom Covenant, so Methuselah has the Church Ransom Covenant. Their birth order therefore reflects the order of salvation which is Faith then Spirit then Water from a sealing standpoint. But this non adamic trio appears all over the scriptures - see I21.

There is more than this because Jesse, the father of David, Samuel the prophet and Samson were also non adamic - see U107. The 3rd non adamic musketeer was possessed by Gabriel in the case of Simeon, John the baptist and Jesus, and from this and the other triplets we deduce that Methuselah was also possessed by Gabriel and therefore Gabriel has the 3rd master salvation covenant, the church ransom covenant. 

Now there were two cherubs on the ark of the covenant in the most holy place, not one. And Solomon himself built two huge Cherubs for the holy place where the ark was to be kept. 

23 Further, he made in the innermost room two cherubs of oil-tree wood, ten cubits being the height of each one (1 Kings 6).

But the ark itself is symbolising the angelic body of Jesus - because this body is the validation sacrifice of the Angelic Ransom Covenant which we all are eventually saved by. So neither of the two Cherubs on the ark or in the most holy place are Michael who is Jesus. So who are they? Well, we know that Gabriel is one, since the two Cherubs guarding the way to the tree of life must have been Michael and Gabriel. And we know that there are three Cherubs in all from Ezekiel 10 where a Cherub who is also a man clothed with linen thrusts his hand in between the two Cherubs of the Chariot of Jehovah which has 4 wheels (One needs to read Ezekiel 10 carefully to see that there are 2 Cherubs and 4 Wheels in the chariot). So who is the third Cherub? Well since Cherubs are involved in God's interactions with man, and since Melchizedek is a high priest according to the manner of Jesus, he is the third Cherub. Having started life as a human, he is the 'most human' of the three. Satan himself used to be a Cherub...

14 You are the anointed cherub that is covering, and I have set you. On the holy mountain of God you proved to be. In the midst of fiery stones you walked about.
15 You were faultless in your ways from the day of your being created until unrighteousness was found in you (Ezekiel 28).

Satan was the firstborn angel of God - Intro19. God created him first. God gave him the Firstborn Master Covenant, he agreed to act only through Satan, his firstborn, this is why he was the angelic overseer of the Garden of Eden. He lost his firstborn right when he sinned, lying to Eve and deceiving her into killing Adam (who was not deceived, but who loved his wife more than he loved God's laws). At this point Satan ceased being a Cherub. So a Cherub is an angel who covenants directly with God. So Gabriel and Melchizedek must also covenant directly with God as Michael does with the ARC.

But how does Gabriel's priesthood work? Well, when Gabriel appeared to Zechariah, he was standing at the right side of the incense altar, and he said:

19 In reply the angel said to him: I am Gabriel, the [one] having been standing alongside [you] [i.e. supporting you, implied pronoun imbalance!] in-sight-of/before [enwpion] the God [but also acting as a priest before God], and I was sent forth to speak to you and declare-as-good-news these [things] to you. [This means that Gabriel is the angel supporting the priesthood, i.e. the father of the priesthood, i.e. the mediator of the CRC, the master covenant of the priesthood].

Now God, although he is almighty, never breaks his own laws, for he is not a hypocrite like powerful men down here. Likewise, Gabriel, the angel of the Lord, will not break God’s laws. So he had a right to be standing in the holy place. Yet even Gabriel himself was not in the most holy place with the Ark. He was in the holy place with the incense altar.

So Gabriel has also entered into the first compartment of the holy place as a priest and he is sitting upon the ark of the covenant next to Melchizedek in the second compartment in statue. So plainly he is also a priest to God similar to Jesus. He cannot of course be a priest after the manner of Aaron, since he does not trace his genealogy to Levi. But being a cherub, and having entered himself physically into the holy place (but not the most holy place), the blood of his priesthood must also enter into the first tent but not into the second.

Now only the blood of Michael enters into the second compartment, the most holy place, to give an everlasting deliverance, since it is he who baptises in Holy Spirit and fire (putting you into Gehenna - it is still a baptism!), not Gabriel or Melchizedek. So the blood of Gabriel enters into the first compartment, where he stood with Zechariah, supporting Zechariah, in fact supporting the priesthood of the Jews. But Zechariah and his wife Elizabeth both were declared righteous not in the spirit but in the flesh at the time...

6 They both were righteous before God because of walking blamelessly in accord with all the commandments and legal requirements of Jehovah (Luke 1).

The law of Moses, whose commandments these two were obeying provided entrance into Gabriel's master covenant as we shall see. But Gabriel describes himself as the one who has been supporting Zechariah, so he is the angel, the cherub who supports human priests. He is the mediator of the master covenant for all human priests, in all 3 systems. This covenant we call the CRC.

Now the blood of Melchizedek enters into another holy place of some sort. It appears that Melchizedek is outside in the inner courtyard in this symbolism.

Now Gabriel was in John who started a water baptism - I19, and Michael was in Jesus who started a spirit baptism (by baptising only Peter, who he renamed).  And in fact every time the three of them, Melchizedek, Gabriel and Michael appear, they perform the following baptism routine.

Melchizedek presides over the entrance of Gabriel, and then Gabriel presides over the entrance of Michael. Every time, that is, except the first time, when Melchizedek presided over the entrance of Michael and then later presided over the entrance of Gabriel. And yet here is Gabriel standing by the incense altar right where Michael enters into the Most Holy.

If you put this whole Jigsaw together you have Gabriel as the master covenanter of a water baptism (the holy place), and Michael as the Master Covenanter of a spirit baptism (the most holy place). You also have Melchizedek having a covenant that must exist outside of baptism (since there are no other baptisms performed by men). This is the covenant of God’s love, the covenant of faith. For the order of progression of every Jew and every Christian, is Faith, Water, Spirit, or Faith, Spirit, Water. In other words it is Melchizedek, Gabriel, Michael, or it is Melchizedek, Michael Gabriel, the very two orders that these three Cherubs appear in when they possess humans.

Now Adam lost two souls when he sinned, he lost his associated angelic soul (for he was born as both an angel and a human, he was born again when he was born if you like, since he was a son of God without sin and such sons are angels) and he lost his edenic human soul. His indefinitely lasting edenic human soul was converted into a 960 year long ageing human soul by God, as his last act of creation at the very end of the 6th creative 'day' of Genesis 1.

Well, Michael ransomed the one soul, the angelic soul, for Adam and his sons, and both Jesus and Melchizedek ransomed the other soul, the human soul. Whereas Gabriel in Methuselah ransomed Noah. This is why the scripture says...

4 But as for Abel, he too brought some firstlings of his flock, even their fatty pieces. Now while Jehovah was looking with favor upon Abel and his offering (Genesis 4).

Abel knew that two ransoms were required to fix his dad! Incidentally Abel offered God precisely what God required, that is how sacrifices work. You do not bring along what you feel like, you bring along what God requires on the day determined by him to the place determined by him - see U47 - The church of Cain. These two firstlings represented Michael in Jesus and Melchizedek in Jared. Adam would have explained this to both of his sons. One listened, the other played power games.

So now we can finally understand the deep things of Hebrews 9, that Paul was not speaking in detail about! 

2 For there was constructed a first tent in which were the lampstand and also the table and the display of the
loaves. And it is called: The Holy Place.
3 But behind the second curtain was the tent called: The Most Holy.
4 This had a golden censer and the ark of the covenant overlaid all around with gold, in which were the golden jar having the manna and the rod of Aaron that budded and the tablets of the covenant.
5 But up above it were the glorious cherubs overshadowing the propitiatory [cover]. But now is not the time to speak in detail concerning these things (Hebrews 9).

For the first compartment is the CRC, for the sons of water, and the second compartment is the ARC, for the sons of spirit, and the temple courtyard is the FRC for those with true faith in Jehovah (before 33Nisan16) or in Jesus and Jehovah (after 33Nisan16) or with a good conscience or with a good community conscience (sighing and groaning over the detestable things happening and translating this pain into selfless acts). Although it is not possible to have a clean conscience without faith, so anyone who can spell and holds a good conscience must accredit his spelling teacher. For more details of the temple symbolism - see U509.

If you like, Melchizedek is the father of the orphans. He fathers those who God himself adopts, due to their faith in him or in Jesus, or due to their good conscience which is their faith in goodness, even though they never join a true religion.

15 They are the very ones who demonstrate the matter of the law to be written in their hearts, while their conscience is bearing witness with them and, between their own thoughts, they are being accused or even excused (Romans 2).

Let us be absolutely clear about the FRC. Christians who believe in the Trinity and Jews who do not believe in Jesus, and Kabbalah mystics who do not believe in the 2nd law, and Muslims who believe in Mohammed and in the Koran and Hindus who believe in Brahman who is ‘more than the universe’ but not a person, and Buddhists who believe in enlightenment apart from a God etc., and the followers of the Dali Lama who believe in re-incarnation and Seikhs who believe in one true God but not in his son, and those of the Bahai faith who believe that the Aga Khan carries the light of God, all have a worthless and misplaced faith from a true church point of view. But if they love God more than they love their church they can yet be saved. They have fallen for the snares of Satan, who delights in providing unseaworthy lifeboats full of gaping holes, and watching sincere people jumping into them and drowning. Many of them of course are genuine in their love for God, and have faith in God but do not have an accurate knowledge of his activities or requirements. These ones are saved by their faith not in their church or in their priest, but in God. They become sons of the FRC, not because of their following of a false religion, but because of their personal faith in God and because of their good conscience or because of their selfless acts performed under test of their faith. It is of course possible for a false religion to help one of its adherents to keep faith in God, and likewise it is possible for a false religion to destroy the faith of its adherents in God. Normally a false religion will manipulate its adherents into having faith in the religion or its leaders, rather than in God.

So the sons of the FRC are in fact sons of faith in God as demonstrated by their works that obey their particular conscience. For our consciences are our inbuilt self testing mechanisms from God. 

Incidentally we due to the wording of the first abrahamic covenant, it must be the case that anyone who changes religion because they are sincerely searching for God, is a son of the 1AC, even if they change from one false religion to the next, or even if they change from a true religion to a false religion! The effort to leave the religion of your father, your family, you community or your country and to go to the land, the religious administration, that you sincerely believe God to be showing you, makes you a son of Abraham by faith even if God was actually trying to show you another land altogether! 

The Mediator of the HLC of Zilpah is Apollos

12 But I say this, that each of you says, I am of Paul, and I of Apollos, and I of Cephas, and I of Christ.
13 The Christ has been divided. Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized into the name of Paul? (LWT)

12 legw de touto oti ekastoj umwn legei egw men eimi paulou egw de apollw egw de khfa egw de cristou
13 memeristai o cristoj mh pauloj estaurwqh uper umw& h eij to onoma paulou ebaptisqhte (1 Corinthians 1 SinaiO)

12 I am saying but this that each (one) of you is saying I indeed I am of Paul, I but of Apollos, I but of Cephas, I but of Christ.
13 Has been parted the Christ. Not Paul was put on stake over you, or into the name of Paul were you baptized? (1 Corinthians 1 KIT)

We must consider Paul's statement, not his question, his statement: The Christ has been divided !!!

He is divided into those of Paul, those of Apollos, those of Cephas and those of Christ. So all in all we have 4 mediators of 4 spirit covenants (for the anointed, the Christ, the saints, the sons of the JAC). These are Paul (ELC of Bilhah), Apollos (HLC of Zilpah), Cephas (meaning stone/rock - this is Peter, who became the mediator of the 1NC of Leah, after Jesus became the 2nd God to be worshipped - Peter is the head of the 3rd Holy Spirit, the head of Jesus' wife), Christ (Gordon, the mediator of the 2NC of Rachel - we are all Christs) - see I35. Behold the power of Paul's words! So at last we have the mediator of the Zilpah covenant, the HLC, he is Apollos!

4 For when one may say, Truly I am of Paul, and another, I of Apollos; are you not fleshly? [A Binary question. Yes fleshly literally. But spirit covenant mediators symbolically!]
5 What then is Paul? And what Apollos, but ministers through whom you believed, and to each as the Lord gave? [Well they are mediators of spirit covenants, the ELC and the HLC] (1 Corinthians 3 GLT)

6 I planted, Apollos was giving to drink, but the God was causing to grow (1 Corinthians 3 LWT)

The drink Apollos was giving was the cup of the HLC as well as the 2EC water baptism.

The Bodies of Jesus and the Patriarchs

We can deduce that Adam grew up twice as slowly as modern man since Adam was 33½ years old when he discovered sex and realised he was not naked (so presumably he was not far from puberty at that age). Likewise the pre-flood post edenic humans grew up 4x slowly as modern man and since all the pre-flood patriarchs of Genesis 5 after him had firstborn sons after they became 60 years old, whereas today boys reach puberty between 12 and 15. Likewise many of the immediate post flood patriarch of Genesis 11, had their first children at around 30 and so were growing up twice as slowly. This sort of thing is covered in I15. Here is a comparative table of lifespan multipliers and childhood multipliers for the patriarchs...

But Jesus' body needs to be non adamic. And is must age like a 120 year max lifespan body until it reaches 33½ year old in order for Jesus to look like anybody else in the first century. But it is merely a stepping stone into the 1AC. 

Perhaps indefinitely lasting human bodies age until 33½ and then reverse age back to 21 or thereabouts presumably! That is unless 33½ is perfect for mankind? One imagines that it is because ageing bodies reach their peak around 25 maybe. so non ageing bodies should reach it later.

Whereas if one is ransomed by the ever-living angelic body of the archangel Michael then one gets everlasting life as an angel after one leaves ones human body behind. For a ransom confers the life status of the ransoming body to the ransomee. It confers the body type of the ransomer onto the ransomee. So Jesus had two bodies available for ransoming humans. Make no mistake, when Jesus died, he gave up his right to live in that human body actually for the 1,000 year Kingdom of God, and he gave up his right to live in his angelic body for ever once that ransom is applied.

Jesus was asleep in the Gates of Hades but not adamically dead for 5 hours and Adam was condemned for 5 hours before his ransoms were agreed

33Nisan14 evening - Passover
33Nisan14 night - arrested, enters the heart of the earth in Caiaphas's house
33Nisan14 9th hour - expires and enters not into Hades, but into the gates of Hades, like David before him. His human body is immediately accepted by God as a validation sacrifice for the JLC (OMC), a burnt offering.
33Nisan15 2nd hour, he is resurrected as an angel after 5 hours asleep in the gates of Hades, NOT in adamic death, NOT in the first death. He did not die the first death. 

5 Into your hand I entrust my spirit [5 hours asleep in the Gates of Hades, but not actually in Hades, not adamically dead, not first dead, from the 9th hour of 33Nisan14 to the 2nd hour of 33Nisan15 - Jesus was non adamic!]. You have redeemed me, Oh Jehovah the God of truth. (Psalms 31 NWT)

46 And Jesus called with a loud voice and said: Father, into your hands I entrust my spirit [10 hours in Gehenna from the 2nd hour to the 12th on 33Sivan5] . When he had said this, he expired ( Luke 23 NWT)

33Nisan16  Michael Presents his everlasting angelic body as a first fruits offering to Jehovah, the validation sacrifice for the ARC, the angelic ransom for Adam.
33Nisan16: The 2nd Holy Spirit marriage occurs in the ark, Jehovah and Michael consummate that marriage. 
33Nisan16: Having no angelic body AND no human body Jesus returns to mankind as a human in an off the shelf rented human body initially meeting Mary, then Peter, then Cleopas and another on the Road to Emmaus, then the apostles in Jerusalem in Luke24, and nobody recognised him at first because he looked nothing like Jesus!
33Nisan16-Sivan5: Michael begins his 50 day ascension to be a God to be worshipped.
33Nisan16-22: The 2nd Holy Spirit marriage feast occurs in the ark. 
33Nisan16-17: Just before sunset in Jerusalem Jesus shows 'the 11' excluding Thomas his rented body with divinely cosmetic marks in the hands and in his side. Is this the bloodstained virgin bed sheet? He then blows on them and says receive Holy Spirit and he then ascends back to the 2HSC bridal chamber.

50 But he led them out as far as Bethany [of Judea - 3 miles from Jerusalem], and he lifted up his hands and blessed them.
51 As he was blessing them he was parted from them and began to be borne up to heaven. (Luke 24 NWT)

33Iyyar25: Ascends to his father again. 
33Sivan5 2nd hour of the day. God takes Michael's angelic soul in ransom of Adam. Michael dies and goes to Gehenna for 10 hours to the 12th hour of 33Sivan5
33Sivan5: 3rd hour of the day: The Holy Spirit is poured out onto the apostles as described in Acts 2. 

33Sivan5: Went to preach to the spirits in the prison of Gehenna. The bad news is that you have lost your soul. The good news is that you can get out of Gehenna courtesy of my angelic ransom.

18 Why, even Christ died once for all time concerning sins, a righteous [person] for unrighteous ones, that he might lead you to God, he being put to death in the flesh, but being made alive in the spirit.
19 And in this [state] he went his way and preached to the spirits in prison ( 1 Peter 3 NWT).

Gehenna is itself a womb of sorts, and the Greek word for belly of the whale is the same as the womb of a woman koilia So the whale pictures Hades and Gehenna very well. Both involve a keeping alive of the spirit through another vehicle. In the case of Gehenna and of Hades this is a communal vehicle. Whereas Jonah was sharing the respiration of the whale. Actually since in Hades one is conscious of nothing and since Jonah prayed from the belly of the whale, the whale stands for Gehenna really, a communal vehicle which saves those thrown overboard by providing a giant ubersoul for its soulmates.

6 the (one) having given himself corresponding ransom over all (ones), the witness to appointed times own; (1 Timothy 2 KIT)

So if Jesus slept at the gates of Hades for 5 hours then so did Adam, since the ransom corresponds with the penalty for the sin. Jesus died at the 9th hour of 33Nisan14. His death began the sacrificial process which fixed Adam. So may well have occurred at the same time that the ARC was made which began the judicial process which fixed Adam. So Adam was condemned and unransomed for 5 hours presumably from the 9th hour of the day, the hour when Jesus died on the cross, to the 2nd hour of the night, the hour when Jesus was resurrected. The human body of Jesus died yes. But Jesus slept and was then resurrected into his angelic vehicle. For David says...

13 Show me favour, Oh Jehovah; see my affliction by those hating me, Oh you who are lifting me up from the gates of death [So David does not stay asleep/dead for long. He just makes it to the gates of death and then is lifted up out of there] (Psalms 9 NWT)

3 Do look [upon me]; answer me, Oh Jehovah my God. Do make my eyes shine, that I may not fall asleep in death [longer than one sleeps in life - one night], (Psalms 13 NWT)

3 O Jehovah, You have brought up my soul from Sheol; You have given me life [literal], from going down into the Pit. (Psalms 30 GLT)
3 Jehovah, Thou hast brought up from Sheol my soul, Thou hast given me life [literal], From going down {to} the pit. (Psalms 30 YLT)
3 O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. (Psalms 30 KJV)
3 Oh Jehovah, you have brought up my soul from Sheol itself; You have kept me alive, that I should not go down into the pit. (Psalms 30 NWT)

David fell asleep at the gates of Hades. But he did not sleep there longer than one would normally sleep in life. He was resurrected from the gates of death. He was given life during his descent into the pit of the first death. His old body stopped working. He fell asleep for less than one night in his angel like we all do and woke up in a new body in a new place. This is technically not a death (being too short). The same was true for Jesus. Jesus did die. But not on the stake. He died angelically when God took his angel on 33Sivan5. the Gospel of Philip explains it...

Those who say that the Lord died first and (then) rose up are in error, for he rose up first [He did not die on the cross, because he had an angelic vehicle waiting for him. He died when he gave the ransom and lost his everlasting angelic body permanently and went to Gehenna. He then went into a shared angelic body in Gehenna. Hades is only for Adam not for Jesus] and (then) died. If one does not first attain the resurrection, he will not die [all those who enter into Gehenna, the second death, are in fact resurrected first]. As God lives, he would [...] (Philip 15).

3 Or are you ignorant that all who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? (Romans 6 GLT)

So 1NCs likewise do not die at the human death. They are transferred perhaps after 5 hours sleep into an angel. But then they do die as an angel and presumably go to Gehenna as Jesus did. Their angels ransom people temporarily. Jesus' angel ransoms people permanently. 

Isaac, the non adamic human, ransomed Abraham, validating the 1AC

God made the first Abrahamic covenant (the 1AC) with Abraham in Genesis 12 saying...

1 And Jehovah proceeded to say to Abram: Go your way out of your land (#ra) and from your relatives and from the house of your father to the land (#ra) that I shall show you; 
2 and I shall make a great nation out of you and I shall bless you and I will make your name great; and prove yourself a blessing.
3 And I will bless those who bless you, and him that calls down evil upon you I shall curse, and all the families (txpXm) of the ground/earth (hmda) will certainly bless themselves by means of you [the 1AC] (Genesis 12).

The blessing of this covenant is the privilege of becoming one of God's true people, as all the circumcised ones were through the Land and Circumcision Covenant of Genesis 17 (the LCC). Abraham had to wait for 24 years after the 1AC, before he got the circumcision covenant (which was added to the pre-existing land promise covenant) wherein all of his children were to get circumcised and all of them were to become God's people exclusively and get the promised land...

8 And I will give to you [Abraham] and to your seed after you [Abraham's genetic children] the land of your alien residences, even the entire land of Canaan [Nile to Euphrates, 'greater Canaan'], for a possession to time indefinite; and I will prove myself God to them.
9 And God said further to Abraham: As for you, you are to keep my covenant, you and your seed after you according to their generations [Isaac, Jacob, Levi, Kohath, Amram, Aaron - the 6 submediators of the LCC].
10 This is my covenant [LCC] that you men will keep, between me and between you men and between your seed after you [all of Abraham's genetic descendants and all the male members of his household] Every male of yours must get circumcised.
11 And you must get circumcised in the flesh of your foreskins, and it must serve as a sign of the covenant between me and you (Genesis 17).

So all the genetic descendants and household members of Abraham became God's people through the LCC (the Land and Circumcision Covenant), but only Abraham's sons through Jacob were to be in the true religion, which appeared later - the Law of Moses.

But the 1AC of Genesis 12 was not just for the genetic seed of Abraham as the LCC was. It was for those with the faith of Abraham as Paul explains...

7 Surely you know that those [who act] out of faith are the ones who are sons of Abraham [through the 1AC].
8 Now the Scripture, seeing in advance that God would declare people of the nations righteous out of/due to faith, declared the good news beforehand to Abraham, namely: By means of you all the nations will be blessed [paraphrased 1AC - nations are the families of the earth in a sense].
9 Consequently those [who act] out of faith are being blessed together with the faithful Abraham (Galatians 3)

Paul is explaining that God's people are those with the faith of Abraham not those with the genes of Abraham, and that these sons of faith of Abraham are and have always been the sons of the 1AC. Although this was not made clear to mankind until after the Gentiles were called. 

What we are saying is that after God made the 1AC with Abraham, God's true people became the sons of faith of Abraham, i.e. those who had the faith in God that Abraham had. Then after the Circumcision Covenant was made, all of Abraham's genetic sons also became God's true people (whether they had any faith or not). So the genetic sons of Abraham were a subset of all of God's true people by virtue of the LCC. They were the visible true people of God, but they were not the only true people of God. For there were plenty of humans with the faith of Abraham who were not of his seed. And the 1AC states that all the families of the ground will be blessed by means of Abraham, not just his family. In fact it is all the families who have one person who has the faith of Abraham who will be blessed. And in every family of the ground, somewhere amongst its members, there is indeed a person with such faith in God (though not necessarily in Jesus).

Now archetypically, just as the sons of Jacob were a subset of the sons of Abraham, so the true Christian congregation, the people in the true Christian church are a subset of all God's people, who are now and have always been the sons of the 1AC, ever since the day that covenant was inaugurated on 1943Nisan14 BC. In fact we shall discover that the sons of Jacob, prefigure the born again Christians, the spirit begotten Christians, and that the sons of Isaac (a larger group containing the sons of Esau as well as the sons of Jacob) prefigure all true Christians in the true religion, many of whom are not spirit begotten, and that the sons of Abraham (an even larger group containing the sons of Ishmael as well as the sons of Isaac) prefigure all of the true people of God whether these people are in the true church or not and whether these people profess to be Christians or not. Incidentally by 'sons' we mean 'all descendants'. For this is how the bible uses the word 'sons'.

Now God's true people, the sons of faith, not necessarily faith in Jesus, but faith in God, as Abraham had, must be covenanted to God. So someone has to ransom Abraham in order that he can have a covenant with God at all, and in order than he can then pass on the blessing of the covenant, the blessings of Abraham. 

The third cup of the Passover, the blood of the covenant for the many, the cup of the 1AC, has nothing to do with the new covenant because it is for the many and the new covenant is for the few, which few are referred to by 'in your behalf' in the 4 accounts. But whose blood was the blood of the covenant in the case of 1AC?

Well, in the case of the law covenant we know that the blood of the bull was the ‘blood of the covenant’:

8 So Moses took the blood and sprinkled it upon the people and said: Here is the blood of the covenant that Jehovah has concluded with you as respects all these words (Exodus 24).

In the case of the Land and Circumcision Covenant we have the sacrifice by prepared by Abraham but stipulated and offered up by God:

9 In turn he said to him: Take for me a three-year-old heifer and a three-year-old she-goat and a three-year-old ram and a turtledove and a young pigeon.
10 So he took all these to himself and cut them in two and put each part of them so as to match the other, but the birds he did not cut in pieces (Genesis 15).

A highly symbolic sacrifice, if ever there was one. But certainly these animals provided the blood of the Land and Circumcision Covenant.

Now Paul has explained to us that every covenant needs to be validated by a blood sacrifice:

16 For where there is a covenant, the death of the [human] covenanter needs to be furnished.
17 For a covenant is valid over dead [victims], since it is not in force at any time while the [human] covenanter is living.
18 Consequently neither was the former [covenant] inaugurated without blood....
19 For when every commandment according to the Law had been spoken by Moses to all the people, he took the blood of the young bulls and of the goats with water and scarlet wool and hyssop and sprinkled the book itself and all the people, 
20 saying: This is the blood of the covenant that God has laid as a charge upon you.... 
22 Yes, nearly all things are cleansed with blood according to the Law, and unless blood is poured out no forgiveness takes place... (Hebrews 9).

So every covenant needs a blood sacrifice to validate it. Now Paul describes a covenant, which is validated by God.

17 Further, I say this: As to the covenant previously validated by God, the Law that has come into being four hundred and thirty years later does not invalidate it, so as to abolish the promise (Galatians 3).

So what did God do? The answer is this:

In Genesis 22, Abraham as good as sacrificed Isaac, his firstborn son. If he had actually sacrificed Isaac then we would easily see the missing blood of the First Abrahamic Covenant. But God did not require Abraham to go through with the sacrifice of his son. God stopped him at the last minute.  Isaac asked Abraham: Where is the sheep for the burnt offering?

8 To this Abraham said: God will provide himself the sheep for the burnt offering, my son. And both of them walked on together (Genesis 22).

Then, when Abraham was just about to kill his son with the knife:

11 Jehovah's angel began calling to him out of the heavens and saying: Abraham, Abraham! to which he answered: Here I am!
12 And he went on to say: Do not put out your hand towards the boy and do not do anything at all to him, for now I do know that you are God-fearing in that you have not withheld your son, your only one, from me.
13 At that Abraham raised his eyes and looked and there, deep in the foreground, there was a ram caught by its horns in a thicket. So Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up for a burnt offering in place of his son.
14 And Abraham began to call the name of that place Jehovah-jireh. This is why it is customarily said today: In the mountain of Jehovah it will be provided (Genesis 22).

Jehovah - Jireh: 'God will provide'. In the mountain of Jehovah it will be provided. Yes it was Abraham who sacrificed the sheep, but the blood of a sheep can plainly provide no redemption for mankind, it is only of a symbolic value. The sheep in the thicket is a type for the validation sacrifice of the Christ with his crown of thorns. God will provide the sacrifice for the 1AC. Fine, but who was the validation sacrifice for the 1AC?

Well look at the faith of Abraham, truly this is what our God foresaw in this man and why he made the promise to him. He would have sacrificed his firstborn and only son (who was willing) in validation of the 1AC presumably had God not stopped him. And look at Abraham's reasoning behind making this near sacrifice:

17 By faith Abraham, when he was tested, as good as offered up Isaac, and the man that had gladly received the promises attempted to offer up [his] only-begotten [son], 
18 although it had been said to him: What will be called 'your seed' will be through Isaac [indeed the sons of the 1AC are through Isaac, the validation sacrifice for the 1AC].
19 But he reckoned that God was able to raise him up even from the dead; and from there he did receive him also in an illustrative way [he received him from the dead as a validation sacrifice for his covenant] (Hebrews 11).

This wasn’t blind faith, it was the rationalised wisdom of a spiritual man, who saw what no other man could see by using his power of reason, to see with the eyes of his mind.

33 Oh the depth of God's riches and wisdom and knowledge! How unsearchable his judgments [are] and past tracing out his ways [are]! (Romans 11).

So the third cup at the last supper was the 1AC, and the blood of the covenant was the blood of Isaac who was non adamic - see Intro21, but nonetheless died and therefore died sacrificially. He was the sacrifice provided by Jehovah (rather than Adam) for the 1AC. and god himself sacrificed Isaac when he died aged 180 years rather than Abraham doing it.

28 And the days of Isaac came to be 180 years.
29 After that Isaac expired and died and was gathered to his people, old and satisfied with days, and Esau and Jacob his sons buried him (Genesis 35 NWT).

Fatherhood

Before Adam died, he had an indefinitely lasting human soul and an associated angelic soul, since he was an uncondemned son of God. He lost both of these when he sinned. He therefore lost the right to pass these souls to his kids through procreation. Michael ransomed Adam's angelic soul, and Melchizedek (in Jared) ransomed his indefinitely lasting human soul. Gabriel (in Methuselah) ransomed Noah's long lasting human soul. By Michael giving his angelic soul in death to God, he then liberated and actually purchased Adam's angelic soul from God. In any event this procedure gave Michael the right to father angelic sons to Adam, the right that Adam had lost. But since it was a ransom of Adam, it was Adam's re-instatement as an angelic father. So Jesus effectively gave Adam his angelic fatherhood rights back and reclaimed the angelic procreative capability that Adam had lost in the second death (the angelic death). This was done through the AAC.

But Jesus himself, as regards his genetic makeup was in fact Adam's edenic son. He was Adam's non adamic son, this is why he is called: The son of the man, in the Greek Scriptures. He is nowhere called the son of man, he is always called the son of the man. And Adam was the man - see I5. 

Gabriel on the other hand, by giving the non adamic human soul of Methuselah (with Gabriel in it at the time), took Noah's human soul as a possession, 'as his own'. He then became Noah's human soul father and purchased the rights to father Edenic human souls to Adam's sons, the other right that Adam had lost. 

Melchizedek, by giving the non adamic human soul of Jared as a ransom for Adam's human soul took the indefinitely living human fatherhood rights that Adam had, and re-instated him as a human father. So Melchizedek effectively gave Adam back his edenic non ageing human fatherhood rights and reclaimed the human procreative capability that Adam lost in the first death (the human death).

Incidentally, pre-adamics could take advantage of the FRC or the ARC but not the CRC which came too late for them. For the sons of the FRC and the ARC are not the genetic sons of Adam, but the covenant sons of Adam, those who have the composition of character required by the covenants, not the composition of genes resulting from Adam. The pre-adamics do not need to be ransomed to be saved, they have the right to be raptured as angels when they finish their earthly course. But they might wish also to enter into the Kingdom of God, through the FRC or to have everlasting life through the ARC and who wouldn't?

So in the Kingdom of God, our edenic human bodies are thanks to Melchizedek in Jared or Gabriel in Methuselah and our angelic bodies are thanks to Michael, and the whole exercise is thanks to our brilliant God, Jehovah. A God whose mercy is a matter of heavenly legislation. Wouldst that we had such legislation in this system, but there again it has a different God, so we have cruelty as a matter of legislation instead. But what is worse is that those politicians who reflect their father Satan keep appearing as angels of light as Satan does. 

14 And no wonder, for Satan himself keeps transforming himself into an angel of light (2 Corinthians).

They represent that their cruelty is kindness, that their cowardice is courage, that their indecision is decisiveness, that their immorality reflects our moral values and that their abuse of detainees to whom they refuse legal representation is 'bringing them to justice'. Whereas of course, since they are refused legal representation and are tortured, it is bringing them to injustice and abuse. 

The 2 or 3 Ransoms of Job 33

 the three Cherubs. Seeing this clearly, Jesus made an agreement at the time of Adam's sin with God that he would give his soul as a ransoming sacrifice, actually his everliving angelic soul. This was the basis of all of God's legal dealings with mankind thereafter. This was 'The Covenant', and his angelic soul is 'The Ark'. Had Jesus not made this agreement with God, then God would have been unable to make any agreement with us at all, because none of us would ever have had the capability of being his sons, because God's sons are angelic. God could not have lifted the death penalty on any of us in the absence of the ARC.

So all mediators between God and men are made possible by Jesus' master mediation which was of the agreement, the covenant, that he made to come here and die for us, the ARC. It is all thanks to Jesus, the entire legal plan from God rests squarely upon his shoulders. And just as all sacrifices under the law of Moses pointed forward to his sacrifice, so all mediators of all covenants between God and his people point backwards to Jesus' agreement to mediate for all of us. He stepped in to save us from the murderous intentions of Satan at short notice when we needed him. And we still do need him. It's like the scripture says:

22 And his soul draws near to the pit, And his life to those inflicting death.
23 If there exists for him a messenger, A spokesman, one out of 1,000, To tell to man his uprightness,
24 Then he favors him and says, 'Let him off from going down into the pit! I have found a ransom!
25 Let his flesh become fresher than in youth; Let him return to the days of his youthful vigor.'
26 He will make entreaty to God that he may take pleasure in him, And he will see his face with joyful shouting, And He will restore His righteousness to mortal man.
27 He will sing to men and say, 'I have sinned; and what is upright I have perverted, And it certainly was not the proper thing for me.
28 He has redeemed my soul from passing into the pit, And my life itself will see the light.'
29 Look! All these things God performs, 2 times, 3 times, in the case of an able-bodied man [There are 2 ransoms for pre flood man and 3 ransoms for post flood man] (Job 33 NWT)

These words were spoken by Elihu, Job's friend, who said that God favours man and says the above. But we deduce that this is in fact what God said when Jesus agreed to give his soul for us. And below is what Jesus said when God asked the angels who would do this for mankind:

8 And I began to hear the voice of Jehovah saying: Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? And I proceeded to say: Here I am! Send me.
9 And he went on to say: Go, and you must say to this people, Hear again and again, O men, but do not understand; and see again and again, but do not get any knowledge. 
10 Make the heart of this people unreceptive, and make their very ears unresponsive, and paste their very eyes together, that they may not see with their eyes and with their ears they may not hear, and that their own heart may not understand and that they may not actually turn back and get healing for themselves (Isaiah 6).

Isaiah is speaking as Jesus here. Jesus said: Here I am send me, to God. And when he came to visit us he quoted the rest of the scripture as prophesied (He quoted it in Greek, translated from Hebrew, and so the English translation of the Hebrew of Isaiah is not precisely the same as the English translation of the Greek translation of the Hebrew spoken by Jesus as recorded by Matthew!)

14 And toward them the prophecy of Isaiah is having fulfilment, which says: By hearing, you will hear but by no means get the sense of it; and, looking, you will look but by no means see. 
15 For the heart of this people has grown unreceptive, and with their ears they have heard without response, and they have shut their eyes; that they might never see with their eyes and hear with their ears and get the sense of it with their hearts and turn back, and I heal them (Matthew 13).

So when Jesus' parable states:

34 Then the king will say to those on his right, Come, you who have been blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the founding of the world (Matthew 25).

The preparation was his agreement to give his soul as a ransom, made at the founding of the world, which was Adam's sin. The apostle John says in Revelation, referring to the wild beast, which is the United Nations:

8 And all those who dwell on the earth will worship it; the name of not one of them stands written in the scroll of life of the Lamb who was slaughtered, from the founding of the world (Revelation 13).

The lamb, Jesus, was slaughtered a long time after the founding of the world, but the agreement for his slaughter was part of that founding. The scroll of life was started at the founding of the world, which also was the beginning of death for Adam and his sons. Obviously a scroll of life is unnecessary before death becomes an issue. And this scroll was dependant on Jesus' agreement to ransom Adam. As St Paul says:

21 For since death is through a man, resurrection of the dead is also through a man.
22 For just as in Adam all are dying, so also in the Christ all will be made alive (1 Corinthians 15).

Moses is a typical example of how God deals with his people. When the sons of Israel agreed to obey the 10 commandments and the Law of Moses, God did not covenant directly with the sons of Israel, he covenanted with Moses, who covenanted with the sons of Israel. We are all made alive in Jesus, because all three covenants are part of the same redemption process. You start with the FRC, but we must all end up in the ARC.

List of the 24 Salvation Covenants 

8 I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord God, the One who is and who was and who is coming, the Almighty (Revelation 1).

There are 24 letters in the Greek alphabet starting with Alpha and ending with Omega. A letter for a covenant with God. Jesus mediates the first one, the Angelic Ransom Covenant (ARC) and the last one, the Jesus Love Covenant (JLC), the Omega Covenant (OMC).

God's official people always have a covenant with God for Jehovah does nothing without the proper legal framework. The circumcision covenant defined God's official people in the day from Abraham to Cornelius. So each of the 4 true Christian churches, since they define God's official Christian people, likewise have a covenant. We call these the 4 Elijah covenants, EC1, EC2, EC3, EC4.

The Whole Deal For the Abrahamic System

You are baptised into a testing covenant, making you a son of a testing mediator. Then you are tested. Then if you pass the test, you are baptised into a sealing covenant, which is being declared righteous, making you a son of a sealing mediator.

Water baptism: Baptised into 3EC (of Russell) or 4EC (of Ritchie) both subcovenants of the ICC the Isaaic Church covenant. This makes you into a constructive son of Isaac. This is the bath of the flesh. It forgives all your sins up to the date of your baptism. A bath cannot wash off tomorrows dirt. Symbolically it enable you to stand up (before God as a priest), but not to walk without stumbling. It can only wash off today's dirt. Then tested and if you pass you are baptised by Holy Spirit into the CRC, the Church Ransom Covenant of Methuselah. This is the sealing in the flesh, the righteous decree in the flesh, which makes you a priest in the Kingdom of God.

Spirit baptism: Baptised into the 1NC, 2NC. HLC or ELC, all subcovenants of the JAC, the Jacobian Angelic Covenant. This makes you into a constructive son of Jacob. This gives you an angelic body in addition to your human body. This forgives all you sins in until a yet to be specified time in the future, until time indefinite. Symbolically, it enables you to walk without stumbling. Then you are tested. If you pass you are sealed into the ARC, the Angelic Ransom Covenant of Michael, which gives you an angelic body with everlasting angelic life. This means God will never put that angel into the 2nd death (Hell). This makes you a King (1NC. 2NC) or a Lord HLC, ELC in the administration of the Kingdom of God. The baptism into the ARC is the baptism into the name of the Holy Spirit. This means that one day in the future you will be part of a Holy Spirit. A Holy Spirit is an administration of a God.

The 1NC is for Kings in the 3rd Holy Spirit. The HLC is for Lords in the 3rd Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit of the Kingdom of God for post Jesus mankind, the heavenly administration of the Kingdom of God for post Jesus mankind.
The 2NC is for Kings on earth (not yet in a Holy Spirit) and the ELC is for Lords on earth (not yet in a Holy Spirit), who comprise the earthly administration of the Kingdom of God. We shall be the Holy Spirit for the 2nd Kingdom of God for mankind, the 2nd 1,000 day Sabbath of the Divine weeks, which last for 49,000 years having 7 6,000 day working weeks, and 7 1,000 day Sabbaths. Then the final 1,000 day Pentecost/Jubilee is when the final stragglers of mankind becomes Gods. The whole process takes 50,000 years. The worst offenders will go to hell 7x. But no more than that.

Ex JWs who were baptised before 2001Chislev14 (2001December4) are in this position. You are presently an ex constructive son of Isaac. You are dead constructive Isaac. If you are baptised into the LWs, then because you have already had one true water baptism you will immediately be sealed in the flesh, be declared righteous in the flesh. you will immediately pass the test. Because Abraham had to cross two rivers to reach the promised land, the Tigris THEN the Euphrates into greater Egyptian controlled Canaan, going through Mesopotamia (between the two rivers) - That is where you presently are. You have crossed the first river. You have one more to cross in order to reach the land which the true God has shown you.

Faith Baptism: The citizens of the Kingdom of God are sons of Abraham by covenant, sons of the testing covenant of the 1AC of Genesis 12, sons of faith. When they pass the test they go into the FRC, the Faith Ransom Covenant of Melchizedek.

Love Baptism: We are the church of Philadelphia, meaning brotherly love. We are the interpreters and declarers of the Brotherly Love Covenant, the Omega Covenant the 2nd Law Covenant, the love equivalent of the 1AC. The OMC covenant puts you into the love test of the sheep and the goats of Matthew25. When you pass that test, you are sealed in the flesh, declared righteous in the heart actually. You are baptised into the LRC, the Love Ransom Covenant, the sealing covenant for the OMC. I should put his all into a big baptism table really.

So the water baptism makes you a son of Isaac and then a son of Methuselah - your non ageing Kingdom body
The faith baptism makes you a son of Abraham and then a son of Melchizedek - your non ageing Kingdom body
The love baptism makes you a son of Jesus (who is also a son of Abraham being his promised seed), and then a son of Melchizedek - your non ageing Kingdom body
The spirit baptism makes you a son of Jacob and then a son of Michael - your everlasting angelic Kingdom body.

OUT OF DATE STUFF

Men and Women

Well, for men, the trouble all started when God gave us fertile women. And for women the trouble all started when Satan introduced them to status. The pre-adamic humans, who were sexual and had children, but could not themselves reproduce sexually and did not get married, did not fight wars - see I5. They did not build huge cities. They did not strive to impress anyone with fantastic technology, or with their brilliant ability to hurt or humiliate their brother. It took them thousands of years to domesticate the sheep, as if that was a hard thing to do! They appear to have lived a fairly carefree life. But no-one's life is carefree once marriage and sexual reproduction appear. For when sexual reproduction occurs, and when a man marries a woman, the two are said to become one flesh...

5 and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and his mother and will stick to his wife, and the two will be one flesh'
6 So that they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has yoked together let no man put apart (Matthew 19).

They effectively become one body, with the man as its head. The bible then says:

14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in relation to [his] wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in relation to the
brother; otherwise, your children would really be unclean, but now they are holy.
15 But if the unbelieving one proceeds to depart, let him depart; a brother or a sister is not in servitude under such circumstances, but God has called you to peace (1 Corinthians 7).

The sanctification is a cleanness of the flesh here. Since the husband and the wife are one in flesh, whilst they are married and both alive (although they are not one in spirit), then baptising the flesh of the one baptises the flesh of the other. Likewise the children, assuming they are born after the marriage (as Paul would have assumed), having come from two clean bodies, are born in a clean body. For the parents pass on to their children the fleshly life condition that they themselves have. Although two born again parents do not produce a born again child by sexual reproduction, which is a reproduction of the flesh, not of the spirit. This inheritance of the fleshly body type of our parents is why we all die, since Adam and Eve have passed on his ageing flesh to the lot of us. 

But those of us who lose our partner for whatever reason are called to peace. Well that was true in the first century, but it is not so true today. The single man in the west is faced with so much pressure in the form of internet pornography, obscene junk emails, half naked women walking past him on a daily basis, thrusting their naked belly buttons into his field of vision, saying, hey look! my womb is empty! He is faced with pictures and news items and videos and movies of more than half naked women, which invade his life whether he asks for them or not. And as if that was not enough he can go to the look but do not touch bars that are all the rage. Why he would want such a thing has always been a mystery to the writer, who would much prefer to go to a touch but do not look bar. But that might actually be satisfactory, so it is not available in this corrupt and destructive system that enflames all the wrong desires and satisfies very few people very infrequently.

The writer is sure that things are equally hard for women but is unable quite to see how, being a man. Actually no, we all reap what we sow, women will pay the same price that men are paying. The price being a lack of emotional security, which is genuine unfailing love.

So let us examine this sin of Adam. God commanded Adam as follows...

16 And Jehovah God also laid this command upon the man [before he created the woman]: From every tree of the garden you may eat to satisfaction.
17 But as for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad you must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will positively die/dying you will die (Genesis 2).

The above is of course not only a law but also a prophecy. The scripture does not say: If you eat you will die, it says: In the day you eat from it you will die. But God said to Eve, through Adam, who was her priest, as follows...

2 At this the woman said to the serpent: Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat.
3 But as for [eating] of the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the garden, God has said, you [plural] must not eat from it, no you [plural] must not touch it that you [plural] do not die (Genesis 3).

So Adam himself was to die in the day of eating from the tree. Whereas the pair of them were to die if they touched the tree or ate from it, but this death was not said to be in the day of eating.

Now the word 'day' takes a specific meaning in the account in Genesis 2 starting with the words...

4 This is a history of the heavens and the earth in the time of their being created, in the day that Jehovah God made earth and heaven (Genesis 2).

So the 'day' that Jehovah made earth and heaven is defined as 'the time of their being created'. So a 'day' here means the time period covering the event or events being considered, which in the case of the creation of the earth and the heavens is in fact the whole time period of the first 6 creative 'days' of Genesis 1. Likewise these 6 creative days themselves are not literal days, but again are the periods of the events under consideration. However each creative day of Genesis 1 is the same length, for this is the symbolism of the 7 days of the week.  

This metaphorical usage of 'day' is the usage that modern man makes of the word 'day' in the phrase 'in my day'. So given this usage we can see that Adam himself 'died' in the 6th creative day after having eaten and before that day ended. But of course he did not die physically at that time. So we deduce that he died judicially, losing his associated angel. He became un-born again if you like. Whereas the pair of them died physically as a result of eating the fruit but not in that creative day. Not in fact for hundreds of years after the meal. That is the meaning of the penalty that Eve referred to in Genesis 3. Unlike Adam, Eve herself did not die judicially when she ate the fruit because she did not sin with her spirit, since she was actually deceived by Satan.

14 Also, Adam was not deceived, but the woman was thoroughly deceived and came to be in transgression (1 Timothy 2).

Adam was not deceived and so did sin with his spirit and so lost his associated angelic soul. But the reader may be thinking at this point. Wait a minute, God had control of everything in the Garden, how can this have been Adam's fault? Well, Adam did have the capability to say no, but he did not have the emotional or spiritual maturity or wisdom to exert his will power and actually say it. So God permitted Satan to test him through Eve with a test that he was not mature enough to pass. So yes God, knew he would fail and yes God deliberately set him a task that was too hard for him. God prophesied Adam's failure again when he introduced him to Eve saying:

24 That is why a man will leave his father and his mother and he must stick to his wife and they must become one flesh (Genesis 2).

Adam did leave his father, God, and his mother, the holy spirit  He chose to stick to Eve rather than to God's law. So these words are also a prophecy that Adam and Eve were to get married after their sin, which sin must have involved some kind of sexual activity, which lead them to become ashamed of their nakedness - see U41. 

25 And both of them continued to be naked, the man and his woman, and yet they did not become ashamed (Genesis 2).

6 Consequently the woman saw that the tree was good for food and that it was something to be longed for to the eyes, yes, the tree was desirable to look upon. So she began taking of its fruit and eating it. Afterward she gave some also to her husband when with her and he began eating it.
7 And the eyes of both of them became opened and they began to realize that they were naked. Hence they sewed fig leaves together and made loin coverings for themselves (Genesis 3).

Prior to this eating of the fruit 'when with her' Adam was like a pre-pubescent schoolboy. Using the parallel of Jesus life with Adam's - see U41, one can deduce that Adam resisted Eve for 3½ days before the poor guy was slaughtered! This resistance period ended when they become sexually active, immediately prior to or during or immediately after their sin. So that they associated the sin with the sexual activity so that sex became a shameful thing to them. Alternatively perhaps they just realized the power of these parts around the time of their sin and so decided to give these parts some kind of protection at that time. The contemporaneousness of their sexual awakening and their sin against God leaves little doubt that Eve used Adam's sexual desire for her to entice him to sin as regards eating the fruit of the tree. Just as Satan used Eve's desire for status, to entice her to sin and eat the fruit first. Eve herself was not the forbidden fruit however. 

But really the test on Adam was a side show, it was a bluff, he was never going to resist a gorgeous naked woman, in circumstances where there were no other women around and he had no experience of good and bad other than this one command not to eat from a tree. The real test was on Satan. He easily had enough experience to know good from bad and right from wrong. So he was exposed as a murderer for the first time, when he deceived Eve into killing herself and her husband...

44 You are from your father the Devil, and you wish to do the desires of your father. That one was a manslayer when he began [as a serpent], and he did not stand fast in the truth, because truth is not in him. When he speaks the lie, he speaks according to his own disposition, because he is a liar and the father of [the lie] (John 8).

It is true that Eve was deceived and she sinned because she failed to consult her priest Adam (who was not yet her husband). It is also true that Adam loved his wife more than he loved God's law, and so he chose to follow his wife down the path of sin, rather than to leave her to walk that path alone. In a sense Adam's sin was a triumph of love over righteousness. But it is no good trying to obey the second law, to love your neighbour, if you do not obey the first law which is to love God. For God invented love and invented in us the capacity to love our neighbours. The aim of all of our lives, although we none of us realise it, is to learn how to love like God does. It is not to learn how to love like our neighbour does. That is why loving God is the first law and loving our neighbours is the second. God knows the rules for people and for societies, which enable love to blossom, we do not know them and neither do our neighbours.

But the whole point is that these two mistakes were not peculiar to Eve or to Adam. Today precisely the same thing is happening all over the world. Women everywhere mistakenly believe that they do not need to consult their priests or husbands anymore. The media re-enforces this view constantly. And husbands everywhere are still choosing their wives over God's law. 

There used to be a saying in the Jehovah's Witnesses and it is true in any fundamental Christian or for that matter Jewish religion (by fundamental we do not mean extreme, we mean sincere and genuine). If a brother falls in love with a girl who is not from the church then there are only two outcomes. The girl joins the church or the brother leaves. This is because their bond with each other is almost always greater than the brother's bond with God. But this was precisely the sin that Adam committed. Adam sinned for all men, in the sense that as a race, none of us would have done any better given his limited experience. 

Now it is true that there do exist a few women today (perhaps in outer mongolia), who do actually consult their husbands before taking life changing decisions, and even fewer, who having consulted their husbands, then listen to the advice that they get. Likewise there are a few men, who do choose God's law over the emotional manipulation of their wife. But it is the hardest thing that we men and women have to face, this choice between God's way and our own flawed basic instincts. And we are what we choose, because God has given us that glorious freedom.

Adam and Eve failed because they made decisions based upon their basic instincts, basic instincts that we all share. They did this because they did not have enough experience of dealing with bad, to overrule these instincts. So no man and no woman in their circumstances would have done any better. The flaw in Adam was the designed-in flaw in all men and the flaw in Eve was the designed-in flaw in all women. And it is our job to overcome these flaws. For God deliberately gave us these flaws, for our flesh, our bodies are the physical incarnation of Satan, but our minds and our hearts are the spiritual incarnation of God. And the battle that was fought in heaven between God and Satan, for thousands of years before Adam and Eve were conceived is that battle that is fought everyday by their children between our flesh and our spirit. Paul described it thus...

22 I really delight in the law of God according to the man I am within,
23 but I behold in my members another law warring against the law of my mind and leading me captive to sin's law that is in my members.
24 Miserable man that I am! Who will rescue me from the body undergoing this death?
25 Thanks to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So, then, with [my] mind I myself am a slave to God's law, but with [my] flesh to sin's law (Romans 7).

And fighting this battle is worth the effort. For the day will come when men and women will cease destroying each other and actually love and help one another, and all the pain of this system is the price we are paying for that day. May that day come soon!

The Need for a Ransom

We have seen in I10 why we all die. Physically it is because we inherit genes from our parents which cause our bodies to age  And they inherited ageing genes from their parents, and they inherited ageing genes from their parents all the way back to Adam and Eve. Judicially, it is because Adam and Eve proved that our race could not be trusted to obey God's laws (in fact we cannot be trusted to obey any laws at all). And God's laws are simply the minimum set of rules necessary for the long term survival of a society of free willed beings. So we have no future as a society unless we can one day be trusted to obey God's laws. So the job that God has, is to teach us his laws. And our job is to learn them. And no one makes the effort to learn anything unless they understand what good such learning will do them. So God has to teach us why we need to obey his laws as well. He will teach all of us that lesson at Armageddon, if we have not grasped it before then, that is.

So Adam died and entered what the bible calls the first death. He became conscious of nothing (Ecclesiastes 9:5) in a sleeping angel. He went into Hades - see I13. He was anaesthetized with heavenly anaesthetic. We are only alive today due to the mercy of God who gave Adam and Eve a stay of execution long enough to procreate. So whereas we ourselves are conscious, our judicial condition is that of our mother and our father. We are judicially unconscious if you like. Now it is obvious that God cannot make any kind of agreement with an unconscious person, a dead person only alive by means of a stay of execution. So we have to be made judicially conscious before we can enter into any covenant with him. Furthermore any would be mediator of a salvation covenant needs to be saved himself, since a priest or mediator must himself possess the cleanliness that he is passing on to others. A priest or mediator cannot pass on to others a cleanliness that he does not himself possess. A judicially dead man cannot mediate judicial life. As Jesus might say: The dead cannot mediate life. But judicially dead women do mediate physical life to their children whenever they give birth. They are the physical priests of mankind. 

But it is as unnatural for a women to be a spiritual priest, mediating salvation or spiritual life, as it is for a man to give birth physically. We have different roles to play, different qualities and different jobs to do for each other and for God. Men give life after death or life in the next system. Women give physical life in this system. But the life that women mediate is subject to a death sentence which is enforced exclusively through our bodies which age and die.

5 Look! With error I was brought forth with birth pains, and in sin my mother conceived me (Psalms 51).

The sin was not the act of sexual reproduction, for that is not conception. The conception in sin, is the death penalty encoded in the genetic material of the sperm and the egg. The conception makes a new flesh which is subject to Eve's death penalty. So all of her sons and daughters likewise have life subject to the same death penalty. We all exist today only due to the stay of execution granted to Adam and Eve by God, and we all die today due to that same one penalty. 

God will not make a legal agreement directly with humans in this condition. For we are condemned to death and are only alive by means of a stay of execution on our sentence. So God has nothing with a future to make any agreement about the future with. He has nothing judicially alive to make an agreement with. Furthermore the mediator, being judicially dead, cannot pass on judicial life and being in a fleshly body that is condemned to death cannot pass on a fleshly body that is not condemned to death by the 'dirty water' principle (you cannot clean anything with dirty water). So Instead he makes the effort to solve this problem whilst still obeying his own principles, by choosing one man for each covenant or subcovenant, whom he knows will turn out good, and be saved, and by lifting the death penalty on him (if necessary). Of course he cannot just lift his own death penalty. 

He does it on the basis that someone who is not under a death penalty has agreed to give his life as a ransom for the mediator. 

Let us not beat about the bush here. In order to have an indefinite future one needs to be born again, because our present bodies have no indefinite future. We discovered in I12, that being born again is being born as an angel, although one is not aware of that angel if one is still alive as a human. We call the angelic body that all human born again Christians have, their 'associated angel'.

So human mediators must be born again in order that Adam's death penalty is lifted from them, so that they can pass on something other than death to those in their covenant! In fact they can pass on either an angelic body (immediately) or a non adamic human body (available in the Kingdom of God) to their sons by covenant.

For the sake of Clarity here are all the possible bodies that a spirit can possess in our present understanding...

1. Adamic human body, ageing and under Adam's death penalty, judicially dead (you and me)

2. Non adamic human body, ageing, but not under Adam's death penalty (Jesus, John the baptist, Melchizedek, Lazarus after he was resurrected etc). The ageing genes of this body come from the holy spirit, not from Adam, so carry no death penalty judicially. Everyone in such a body is either raptured or killed, none of them die of old age. If one of them did then God would be a murderer. The ageing is merely cosmetic. Lazarus must have been killed if he was a 1NC saint or raptured if he was an ELC saint.

3. Indefinitely lasting non ageing human body (Adam before he sinned, and all of us in the kingdom of God on earth).

4. Angelic body without everlasting life (male and female)

5. Angelic body with everlasting life (male and female)

6. Divine body (asexual, outside time, can exist outside heaven, immortal)

7 The first death, physical death, Hades, one's spirit is asleep in an angelic body

8. The second death, spirit death, Gehenna. Time sharing an angelic body with several other spirits. No body of your own at all. A spirit with no personal angelic or human body. 

The only way for a human to get a non adamic human body in this system is to be born with it or to be resurrected into one like Lazarus, Jairus' daughter, the synagogue ruler's daughter, the Widow of Nain's son, the Widow of Zarephath's son, the Shunemite widow's son, the guy thrown into Elisha's grave, Dorcas, Eutychus, etc. But we can all be born again and gain associated angels, even associated angels with everlasting life, if we stay faithful under test and get sealed in holy spirit after having been born again.

God needs and wants to make a legal agreement with us in order to save us from the death penalty that we presently suffer from. In this wicked world, when there is a contract out on you, it means someone wants you dead. But in the heavens when there is a contract out on you it means God has given you an agreement not to die, but to live in the next system. 

Now God cannot just choose a few people and say: Right then, you, you and you are all now judicially conscious and I am wiping out the death penalty in your cases. That would break his own justice and it is his justice which gives us all a future. It might not seem like that since we are actually all condemned by his justice presently, but that is because we are like little pyromaniac children, we are a danger to ourselves and to all around us. We need to be condemned until we learn enough to be trusted. So how can God, without breaking his own justice, lift the death penalty on one of us in a fair way? 

Well, as mentioned above, he needs to find another person who is not under any death penalty to give us his life status. Someone has to give up their life in some respect in order that we can gain our life in that respect. This process is called a Ransom. The beauty of a deep understanding of what a ransom is all about is the grasping with the mind that a ransom is a sacrifice, and that sacrifice is the basis of all freedom. For the measure of one man's freedom is the extent of his brother's sacrifice for him. So a ransomer is a lover of freedom. He is a champion of freedom.

So Americans especially and in fact all those who understand freedom and sacrifice in time of war or at any other time will see the great beauty of sacrifice and how it gives freedom and is necessary for freedom and itself results from free will. How many mothers would give their lives at the time of childbirth if it meant that their child might live? Many indeed. And if the child is born alive but the mother dies, how many mothers would regard that as a failure? Few indeed. For in our hearts we do understand the concept. But we don't quite get our heads round how fundamental sacrifice is to a society of free willed beings. Using our free will to sacrifice for the benefit of others is their freedom. And since we all reap what we sow, it is also our freedom in the giant elliptic equation of all human interaction. And their sacrifices are our freedom. And if we all choose to sacrifice what we presently want or have or desire, in favour of a set of divine laws that protect all of us, and give the rest of us what they need, then we are all free. That is our future. But if we choose to focus only on what we want and have and desire and ignore the needs of others, then we will not be free for long and just as the ones whom we ignore have no future, neither do we.

No man has understood the full details of how this works for at least 1500 years (since the fall of the second true Christian religion in 444 AD U151) because it is quite difficult to discover from the bible and because as a race mankind has all but lost the capability to think logically and in particular, as a result of the TV, we have lost the courage of our personal deductions. We don't give any credibility to our own thoughts any longer because they do not appear on the TV and so they have no status.
