Like Adam who was made in the image of God to be split with the rib called “Eve” removed, similarly Christ has an unconcealed rib that Eve represented. And just as the sacrifices of old had to be cut in half to reveal or un-conceal some things about The Godhead, so too Christ before He went to the cross, was the completed image of God that Adam was before the exposure of the rib called Eve (Havah in Hebrew). And whereas Christ was born in the fashion of Adam who was half of that image of the Godhead, at least until Christs baptism from John the Baptist of which afterwards The Father said This is My Only Begotten of whom I am well pleased.
Technically this is when Jesus became the Christ because He was the image of Adam restored to what a man was before the rib called Eve was removed. That was the fracture in Adam that the enemy of souls exploited and the need to be borne again.
It was with John the Baptizer that the split that happened in Eden was restored at the River Jordan because that account says that “the Spirit of God descended upon Him and remained with Him”, Meaning not to come back out.
Meaning the two became one, or “wed”. And John went on to say that “a man can receive nothing unless it has been given to him from heaven. 28 You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, “I am not the Christ, (meaning John knew he could not transfer The Holy Spirit to Jesus, he could only testify. Therefor he said) but I have been sent before Him. 29 He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend (and the Best man and cousin) of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. That is why this joy of mine is fulfilled (because John was referring to himself as the best man. Because of this he also said,) 30 He (Christ) must increase, but I (John) must decrease. This was because John as the greatest of the prophets was also the last of all the prophets.
We can see here that a radical shift was taking place away from the old ways of doing and thinking associated with the Law with all it’s offices, personnel, places, feasts and services as pertaining to the previous methods called “The Law and The Prophets”. If you remember it was the Law with all its places, people, buildings, holidays and that whole culture, that were added to make sin exceedingly sinful” and added “until the time of reformation” with the coming of Christ and The New Covenant to replace all The Old as temporary and fruitless.
of the law, given to the creation for those born according to Adam and Eve to serve as a redirect, to be out in place with a “new and living way to the Father”. And this New and Living way to the father was so much greater that in fact the term was coined that “no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine bursts the wineskins, the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But new wine must be put into new wineskins.” Thereby establishing a clear demarcation line between the two, and the call for a new way of thinking.
If this was not true then it would not have been said of John the Baptist that “among those born of women there is none greater than John the Baptist; but those who are least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.” Showing us a clear cut distinction line between the Old Testament way of doing things, and The New testament way of things being done as being superior. So much so in fact that if this were not true, then we would expect a Third Covenant for any apparent short comings of the now in effect New Covenant, instituted NOT with the blood of bulls and rams, but through Christ and the Eternal spirit who purges our conscience from dead works to serve the living God NOW. But there are not!!
And the prophecy from Deuteronomy 18.15 that “The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your midst, from your brethren. Him you shall hear”.
This was referring to the fulfillment and the replacement of “all the Law and the prophets as confirmed here from Luke 16.16 saying ““The law (its kingdom) and the prophets were until John. Since that time the kingdom of God has been preached, and everyone is pressing into it.
And what about those who have gone back to the Law and The Prophets for some sort of relevance, along with all it’s places, persons, feasts, articles and cleansing. Do you think He will treat favorably those who do such things especially if they profess a continuity with the God of the bible.
But 2 Peter talks about these things “For it would’ve better better off not to have known the way of righteousness then to return to the old. As it is written a dog returns to its vomit and a pig to the wallowing in the mire”, So too those using the old, despise the New, especially if they profess the New Testament to be interchangeable with the old. The Law was added to make sin exceedingly sinful” because the Law was added NOT to make them righteous for if it did it would NOT have already been declared fulfilled and expired.
So then those that relish in another series of fulfillment’s from the “Old Testament” in a common era Israel and Jerusalem with modern day Jews and another coming Jesus in our day? They have gone after “the coming of the one who is according to Satan with all lying signs and wonders if possible to deceive the Elect”.
It is the Elect of those who are born of the new union of being born of the word, and “transitioned into His Self same image from the Glory to the Glory as by the spirit” who know what the counterfeit is.
And because Christ was first introduced as The Word of God, then you should be able to comprehend who your what our tools for transfiguration is. And if the truth that the new creations parents are word and spirit, then you should be able to take that one small step in your thinking, that when John who baptized Christ with the Holy Spirit, who said “He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. Therefore this joy of MINE is fulfilled. Who went on to say “30 He (Christ) must increase, but I (John) must decrease. 31 He who comes from above is above all; he who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all.
And so was Johns ministry expired to be shelved like “all the law and the prophets”.
They must increase and I must decrease, for John the Baptist to go on to be beheaded was NOT that God forsook him. No! He was not beheaded for himself but for us on whom the ends of the age have come. So that we can see with these truths the demarcation line between the silly little school house called the Law and the Prophets, to make its uselessness known, that among them how many were made righteous? None, no not one. All their mouths are open graves speaking of dead things”.
So unless the Old Testaments Law and the Prophets are used for anything other than to make understandable things in the Holy Spirit associated with “The Kingdom of God at hand”, that Jesus Christ consecrated for us through the veil of His flesh” “torn top to the bottom so much so that the earth shook”, our one and only access point to the Father? Pig wallowing in the mire, dog vomit.
Please Please, do not mix the two covenants.
THE LESSON TO LEARN
If you use all of scripture as open ended events to happen then you will surely find scenarios from scripture to muse you with.
For you see that Satan and his minions know that if they can keep you preoccupied here, then they can detain you from your heavenly calling.
Consider this. Since we have been instructed to “work out our own salvation with fear and trembling”, then you know you have a duty to yourself and God for obtaining the gift. But because people are told that the confession alone was sufficient, then for them to be isolation to fascinations of news and earthly events seaming to be scriptural, as a means for them to be occupied with the second coming. When they (maybe you) wake up to the truth that “today is the day of salvation”. That salvation being something you work out and work on and not just a profession and being dipped in water without really understanding what it truly means. Woe are those who miss out on this point. You are put here on this earth at this time, and this time ONLY. For the time that is coming will come when you like bread in the heat of an oven who did not rise but to come out flat and soggy being cold and uncooked. The heat that was meant to make you rise, was subverted to another cause for another Jesus as though the next physical Jesus is gonna do something for you the Christ of the Cross bought for us.
If His name Jesus, from Hebrew “Yeshuah” means “Savior one who saves, restores and makes new” in the fashion of the first Adam before the fall. If He gave His life for yours, and you didn’t take the new life He gave you of life in the spirit, “Far above all principalities and powers in any age”, Why then would you be looking as scripture to protect your old self when you have to put it all off anyway, “and to put on the new man (person) in the image of Christ”, (not the outer person) because “flesh and blood does not inherit the Kingdom of God”. Why oh why do people continue to look at events on earth as though they have importance.
We have a heavenly inheritance distinctively different from the earth we call “Heavenly Jerusalem” of a different composition. Even as our Heavenly Father tells us through Isaiah 56, as the heavens are higher… But you still look for the fulfillment of Gods word to take place on earth?

For the time is coming when the invitation into the presence of the Almighty God will be retracted then it will be said Revelation 21 7-11 ish. But for now His arms are wide open still in a proverbial sense. For eye has not nor can not see the things that God has for those who love Him, But He does reveal them to us by His Spirit, yea even the deep things of God. Why do you keep looking down here (at the empty tomb. ”
Then they will look to the earth and the destruction

That thing in the Jerusalem of our day
And to be made out of silver or stone is Her disgrace. There is none to compate Her to. For the earth and all its work shall be burned up for the eternal to remain”. She is eternal. She is “the Kingdom from the foundation of the world”. The one who “comes down from God of Heaven” The pre-existing one, being co-creator. She co-owns all things and is not subject to anything created which is why She can wisk around at will unstoppable and un-noticeable to carnal perceptions. Christ “fills all in all” and She is in Him. And of the Father “it is in Him we live, dwell and have our being”. She permeates all things.
She is in all ways an intricate part of the Godhead being “flesh of His flesh and bone of His bone” clothed in the invisible attributes of Christ as are we His offspring who learn to “put on Christ” and “put off the works of darkness” as taught throughout the New Covenant.
Nothing carnal may enter, but the born-again can see Her and enter Her. That which is flesh is flesh but we are spirit. (John 3.3-12)
