Dust

In the Image of God

This is the book of the genealogy of Adam. In the day that God created man, He made him in the likeness of God. He created them male and female, and blessed them and called them Man in the day they were created. Genesis 5:1 And he said to the woman, Has God indeed said, You shall not eat of every tree of the garden? And the woman said to the serpent, We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die. Genesis 3: 1-3 Adam, Eve and the Deceiver

And God said to Noah, The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth. Make yourself an ark of gopher-wood; make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and outside with pitch. Genesis 6:13-14

Cain and Abel

Real and Hypocritical Worship
A Substitute Must Die: God killed an animal in order to cover the nakedness of Adam and Eve. Cain however, instead of bringing an animal to slay on the altar as God had demonstrated and required, instead brought fruits to the altar. In doing this, Cain revealed that his heart was still a lover of sin and still had and unregenerate heart, as opposed to his saved brother who brought what God required. Signifying that he knew he needed redemption and had faith in God to provide a substitute on his behalf. The substitute is Jesus Christ. Cain brought an offering of the fruit of the ground to the LORD. Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat. And the LORD respected Abel and his offering, but He did not respect Cain and his offering. Genesis 4:3b-5a

for without the shedding of blood, there is forgiveness of sins. Hebrews 9:22

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23

God of Truth
And He Died.
Death of the Kings: Chapter five of Genesis lists for us the first fathers of humanity. A majority of tribes in the past and present also have in their legends, a list of ten kings before the flood accounts that they have. The first king was Adam and the last was Noah, from whom all people trace their family line. A clear truth that stands out in this chapter is the fulfilment of the Truthfulness of God; God said to Adam, you will surely die when you disobey me and eat from that tree but he refused to delight in the sovereignty of God and he eventually met spiritual death on that day and physical death later on. All his descendants have taken from this judgement, all being born spiritually dead and all physically dying as soon as they are born.

And the LORD God commanded the manbut of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.
Genesis 2:16-17

Then the serpent said to the woman, You will not surely die. (The Liar and murderer. He murders by lying.)
Genesis 3:4

So all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years; and he died.
Genesis 5:5

A Perfect Creation
Why They Lived So Long

Godly Shem, Awesome Ham

Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelt in the cities of the plain and pitched his tent even as far as Sodom. But the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinful against the LORD. Genesis 13:12-13

Go, swift messengers, to a nation tall and smooth of skin, to a people awesome from their beginning onward. A nation powerful and treading down... Isaiah 18: 2

The sons of Noah that came out of the ark were Shem, Ham and Japheth. These are the sons of Noah, and by them was the whole earth repopulated. Genesis 9&10

Israel the Chosen

Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to the LORD, and spoke, saying: I will sing unto the LORD, for He has triumphed gloriously! The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea. Exodus 15:1

Moses the Israelite

Jesus of Nazareth
For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6-7 He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. Isaiah 53:3-6

The Church of Christ

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the Saints and faithful Brethren in Christ who are in Colosse Colossian 1:1&2

I write so that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the Living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. 1 Timothy 3:5

The Moor and the Reformer

Some persons think us too sever and censorious when we call the Roman pontiff anti-Christ but those who are of this opinion do not consider that they bring the same charge of presumption against Paul himself after whom we speak and whose language we adopt. I shall briefly show that Paul's words in second Thessalonians 2 are not capable of any other interpretation than that which applies them to the papacy John Calvin; 2 Thessalonians 2

The birds of prey will summer on them, and all the beasts of the field will winter on them. In that time a present will be brought to the LORD of hosts, from a people tall and smooth-skinned, and from a people awesome from their beginning onwards, a nation powerful and treading down. Isaiah 18 The Moorish-head Flag John Calvin (Reformer)

We here are of the conviction that the papacy is the seat of true and real antiChrist. I owe the pope no other obedience than that I owe antiChrist Saint Martin Luther; Protestant Reformer

The Great Tribulation

Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals; and I heard on of the living creatures saying with a voice like thunder, Come and see. And I looked and behold, a white horse Revelation 6:1&2a

And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains(saying) fall on us and hide us from the Face of Him who sits upon the Throne and from the wrath of the Lamb Revelation 6:15-16

The Kingdom of Jesus Christ

For I will take you from among the nations, gather you out of all countries, and bring you into your own land, Not for your sake do I do this, let it be known. Be ashamed and confounded for your ways oh house of Israel. Ezekiel 36

David my Servant shall be King over them, and they shall all have one Shepherd; they shall also walk in My judgements and My statutes, and do them. Then they shall dwell in the land that I have given to Jacob My servant. Ezekiel 37:24-25a

So they will say This land that was desolate has become like the Garden of Edenthen the nations which are left all around you shall know that I, the LORD have rebuilt the ruined places and what was desolate. Ezekiel 18:35-36

New Heavens & New Earth
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Revelation 21:1 And he said to me It is done, I AM Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End.

Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely. Revelation 22:17 And God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. Neither shall there be anymore pain, for the former things have passed away and behold I make all things new Revelation 21
