WHY Were YOU of Israel Born?

Millions of Israelites have lived -- and died -- without ever understanding the true meaning for their existence. Today, most go through life performing their daily tasks with no real comprehension of the deep and profound purpose their lives are meant to have. And yet, this age old mystery of life has puzzled and perplexed the vast majority of Israel. You need to know the answer! Is there any PURPOSE for your life as an Israelite? Is your physical, chemical existence all there is? Is the life of an Israelite supposed to have any real MEANING? Why are you here?

WAS THE ADAMIC LINE created and put here on the earth by an intelligent and Almighty Creator for a definite PURPOSE? And if so, what is that purpose -- and WHY is modern Israel so totally unaware of it?

Or, on the other hand, did Adamic life develop, over a period of millions of years, from lower animal species, by the process of evolution? Did those of the Adamic line come to be formed and shaped as we are purely by natural causes and resident forces?

These are the two possibilities of origins. Today the theory of evolution has gained almost universal acceptance in levels of higher learning. Yet proponents of the evolutionary doctrine fail to show any definite purpose for the presence of the human family on this planet. Neither do they tell us why the Adamic man is as he is possessing such awesome intellectual and production powers that he can fly to the moon and return safely -- but at the same time is utterly helpless before the onslaught of this world's problems, sufferings and evils.

For that matter, neither has religion shown the Adamic man his true purpose in life.

It has suddenly become imperative that we of Israel find the answer. Suddenly humanity's number one problem has become the question of SURVIVAL. And time is fast running out on us. WHY these mounting, fast-accelerating EVILS? Neither the evolutionary biologists nor the world's religions have so far given any explanation. They offer no solutions. They give us NO HOPE!

We are now in a head-on confrontation with this frightening fact: any one of several heads of nations could plunge this world into the nuclear World War III that could erase all human life from the earth! Has man progressed to the point where he is about to destroy himself? Is that the end of the evolutionary line? Is that the manner in which science and technology are about to administer the death-blow to all the world's religions?

Is it possible there may exist a source able to shed heretofore unrecognized new light on this life-and-death question? Is it even possible there exists new evidence, vital to the Adamic line's survival and the peace of the world, within the biblical revelation, heretofore unrecognized by theologians, Judaism and traditional Christianity? If so, with the imminent possibility of the obliteration of humanity, and time running out, there is no time to be lost in searching it out.

In this crisis hour of human existence, no apology is offered for turning the spotlight on the truly startling revelation that has been rejected by science and higher education, and those vital truths overlooked by religion.

The book called the Holy Bible itself lays claim to being the revelation of basic, necessary knowledge -- the INSTRUCTION MANUAL which the Adamic man's Maker sent along with the crowning product of His making -- the human ADAMIC MAN!

Could this least-understood of all books reveal PURPOSE behind the presence of Adamic man on the earth? Does it explain WHY man is as he is -- at once so creative and yet so destructive? Does it explain WHY man is so utterly helpless before his own problems, yet with such awesome intellectual and productive powers? Does it offer SOLUTIONS? Does it give us HOPE?

To all these vital questions, the emphatic answer is a resounding YES! But ask the same questions concerning evolution, or the teachings of religions, and the answer is regrettably NO! Would it not, then, seem the folly of fools to refuse honest examination of these desperately needed answers?

Here, then, is our Maker's crucial Message to His people Israel in this crisis hour of human history. Expect surprises!

How this missing dimension in knowledge could have been overlooked these millenniums by religion, science and education is as shocking as the fact that our Creator, in the first two chapters of His revealed Instruction Book, tells us clearly and emphatically, that man is neither an animal, nor an immortal soul!

The very first verse of the first chapter in the Bible states positively that YEHOVAH God exists -- that YEHOVAH God CREATED the heaven and the earth. The first chapter also states positively that pre-Adamic man is not descended from lower animal species, and that pre-Adamic man is not an animal. And the second chapter depicts YEHOVAH Himself saying positively that Adamic man is not an immortal soul -- contrary to the very foundational belief of many, or most, religions!

The very first words in the bible are: "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth" (Genesis 1:1). No "perhapses" -- no theories -- just a positive statement!

Now notice, in verse 21 of Genesis 1: "And God created great whales...after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind...." Then in verse 25: "And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind...." And then verse 26, correct translation: "Then YEHOVAH said, I will make man in MY image, according to My likeness..." This says plainly YEHOVAH God made whales after the whale kind, birds after the bird kind, cattle after the cattle kind, chimps after the chimp kind -- but YEHOVAH God made MAN after the GOD kind!

This reveals clearly, beyond dispute, that man IS not an animal! Man was made in the image and likeness of YEHOVAH GOD -- in the very form and shape of YEHOVAH. Adamic man was made to have a relation to YEHOVAH God -- a link to YEHOVAH -- totally unlike any animal. That will become more apparent as we proceed.

But why did YEHOVAH God make man in His own image? Why did He create the human species at all? Was there special PURPOSE? Is there a MEANING to human life unrealized by mankind?

The late Prime Minister of Great Britain, Winston Churchill, actually gave the answer when he said before the American Congress: "There is a PURPOSE being worked out here below." Of course, he implied a Higher Power, above, doing the working out. But man, it seems, fails to understand that purpose.

Now look about you. Look at all the species and forms of living creatures. How many of those are able to think, plan, devise, and then bring about, by making or creating, that which was thought out, designed and planned?

By instinct, beavers build dams. But all these dams follow the same pattern. The beaver cannot think out some new, different pattern and make some new and different thing. Ants may form ant hills; gophers, snakes and rodents dig holes; birds build nests. But they always follow the same pattern. There is no originality, no thinking and designing of a new idea, no new construction. The beavers' dams, the ants' hills, the gophers', snakes' and rodents' holes, the birds' nests are all made purely by instinct, not by thought and original designing.

A test was made with weaver birds. For five successive generations, weaver birds were kept in a place with no nest-building material available to them. The fifth generation had never seen a nest. But when nest-building materials, along with other materials, were made accessible, that fifth generation immediately made nests. And they were weaver-bird nests -- not robins' nests or swallows' nests or eagles' nests.

Evolution cannot account for the fact that animals are equipped with their marvelous instinct -- yet with total absence of MIND power. Nor can it account for the absence of such instinct in MAN. Or, for the vast gulf between the powers of animal brain and human mind.

Man can design and build great dams such as the Grand Coulee. Man can build the great tunnels under mountains or rivers. Man can invent and build automobiles, airplanes, battleships, submarines. Man alone, of all YEHOVAH God created, is capable of approaching real creative powers.

Look, however, at what Adamic man has actually done with the things he has had the intelligence and ability to devise and to make.

Thousands of years ago he learned to deal in iron, steel, and other metals. He made implements, constructed buildings -- but he also made swords and spears and went out to destroy! Adamic man learned how to organize his kind into cities, groups, nations. But to what use did he put the organization he controlled? He organized the able-bodied of his men into armies, and set out to conquer, to destroy, and to acquire by taking, not alone by producing and creating.

Adamic man discovers that the powers he possesses allow him to produce explosives, so that he could move mountains if necessary -- but soon he is exerting the most frenzied energies of his nations, at costs of billions of dollars, endeavoring to develop nuclear weapons faster than his enemies, and now is producing weapons of mass destruction that can blast all human life from off the earth!

A philosophic country doctor once said to me it was his belief that everything man's hand ever touched of YEHOVAH's creation man had polluted, befouled, besmirched, and ruined. That statement seemed radical then. But I have been observing, since he said that, and I am almost persuaded he was right.

I need not go further. Just look about you, and observe. If you are a thinker, you'll see how man, endowed with a portion of YEHOVAH's actual creative power -- and the only being which has it -- turns this power of devising, planning, inventing, and producing into destructive channels.

Look at the great factories of the major industrial nations. Here hums and roars the creative activity of Adamic man. Adamic Man has made some slight approach toward actual God powers, and God activity, in his tremendous industrial development.

But there is one deadly fault with all this. Adamic man has learned to exercise scientific, inventive and mechanical powers in excess of his development in ability to direct the product of his efforts into right and constructive channels!

Why did an all-wise Creator put Adamic man on this earth? Did the Creator design and make Adamic man as he is -- with such tremendous intellect and powers, yet so destructive, and so helpless before all his problems?

It may come as a shock to learn true explanations of revolting world conditions, their causes -- how it all came about -- and of the real PURPOSE for human Adamic existence. But read with your own eyes in your own Bible! Scriptures heretofore overlooked or rejected by man -- yet true revelations that have been there all along! More, the Bible itself tells us -- if we will listen -- how it came about that these foundational, basic TRUTHS have been both rejected and overlooked.

One of the very first things we need to realize, that has been utterly overlooked by those reading the Bible, is this: The creation account in Genesis 1 was not the only creation! The first chapter of Genesis -- called the "creation" chapter -- actually does not record the completed creation at all! Man's creation was not finished! Read that amazing truth again! Be sure you understand! The Bible plainly reveals this, as we shall see.

What was created, as revealed in Genesis 1, was the creation of the non-Adamic races. When we move on to Genesis chapter 2, we see the creation of the Adamic race. What YEHOVAH God actually is creating in the human Adamic family is THE CROWNING, SUPREME MASTERPIECE OF ALL HIS WORKS OF CREATION! And that will be -- when finished -- millions -- of Israelites converted into perfect SPIRITUAL CHARACTERS!

As covered above, YEHOVAH God created Adam and Eve in YEHOVAH's own image, after YEHOVAH's likeness. He created animal life, each after its own animal kind. But He created man after the GOD kind. That is, as to form and shape, but NOT of spirit composition.

In Genesis 2:7, it is plainly stated: "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and [the Adamic] man became a living soul."

The most important difference between the mankind of Genesis 1:26 and Adam in Genesis 2:7 is that Adam received the Breath of YEHOVAH God in his nostrils. Salvation requires that the individual believes YEHOVAH God and that belief is a function of the indwelling spirit, NOT of the natural flesh -- as the Messiah said to Nicodemus "what is spirit is spirit." Hence there was no point in the Messiah dying for people who do not already have the indwelling spirit and hence no ability to comprehend and believe the things of the spirit. Adam became the first spiritual man, but not the first biological man. In other words, YEHOVAH God took one man from the Genesis 1 creation and breathed into him the breath of life. “And man became a living soul” -- (Genesis 2:7). The word “became” is consistently used in a manner showing that the subject became something that it had not been before.

Philo the Jew understood the spiritual component of "the Breath of life" when he wrote:

"But he [Moses] asserts that the FORMATION of the individual man [Adam], perceptible by the external senses is A COMPOSITION OF EARTHY SUBSTANCE, AND DIVINE SPIRIT. For that body [of Adam] was created by the Creator [YEHOVAH God] taking a lump of clay, and fashioning the human form out of it; but that the soul proceeds from NO created thing at all, but from the Father and Ruler of all things.

"For when he [Moses] uses the expression, 'He breathed into,' etc., he [Moses] MEANS NOTHING ELSE THAN THE DIVINE SPIRIT proceeding from that happy and blessed nature [YEHOVAH God], sent to take up its habitation here on earth [in Adam and his descendants], FOR THE ADVANTAGE OF OUR [ISRAELITE] RACE, in order that, even if man is mortal according to that portion of him which is visible, he may at all events be [eventually] IMMORTAL according to that portion which is invisible; and for this reason, one may properly say that man is on the boundaries of a better and an immortal nature [after the resurrection], partaking of each as far as it is necessary for him; and that he [man -- descendants of Adam -- Israelites] was born at the same time, both mortal and immortal" (The Works of Philo, translated by C. D. Yonge. "On the Creation, XLVI (134-135)).

"Why does He [YEHOVAH God] do this, except that we may thus derive A PROPER NOTION [idea, belief] of Him? Since HOW could the soul have perceived God if He [YEHOVAH God] had not inspired it, and touched it according to His power? For human intellect would not have dared to mount up to such a height as to lay claim to THE NATURE OF GOD, if God Himself had not drawn it up to Himself, as far as was possible for the mind of man to be drawn up, and if He had not FORMED it according to those powers which can be comprehended" (ibid., "Allegorical Interpretation, I, XIII (37-38))

That's not what most people believe. But it is what the Bible SAYS! Further it says: "The soul that sinneth, it shall die" (Ezekiel 18:4). That is so important it is stated twice, for emphasis: "The soul that sinneth, it shall die" (Ezekiel 18:20).

YEHOVAH God is composed of SPIRIT -- not of physical matter (John 4:24). But nowhere does the Bible say the Adamic man is A spirit. Nowhere in the Bible can you find the expression "immortal soul," or "immortality of the soul." In Genesis 1, animals are called souls -- that is, Moses used the word nephesh which in Genesis 2:7 is translated into the English word "soul," while in Genesis 1:20, 21, 24 it is three times translated "creature."

Notice, for disobedience, YEHOVAH said, "Thou shalt surely DIE"! Man [of both creations -- Genesis 1:27 and Genesis 2:7] is MORTAL, and shall DIE! YEHOVAH God said so!

Now what have we seen? YEHOVAH made man MORTAL -- composed of physical matter. In Genesis 3:19 YEHOVAH God said to Adam:

".....for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return." He was speaking to the conscious MAN -- to the human MIND.

Notice what is symbolized and revealed here. The tree of LIFE symbolized eternal life for the line of Adam. They did not, as yet, possess immortal life. This was freely offered to Adam and Eve as YEHOVAH's GIFT.

But Adam and Eve were required to make a choice. Also in the garden was another symbolic tree -- the tree of "the knowledge of good and evil." To make the wrong choice of taking of that forbidden tree would impose the penalty of DEATH. "Thou shalt SURELY die," said YEHOVAH God -- IF they chose to disobey and take of that tree. In other words, as we read in Romans 6:28: "For the wages of sin is DEATH; but the gift of God is ETERNAL LIFE...."

This clearly shows that YEHOVAH God revealed the Gospel to them. And what is the Bible definition of SIN? "Sin is," it is written in I John 3:4, "the transgression of the law."

Actually, there exist, overall, only two BASIC WAYS of life -- two divergent philosophies. They travel in opposite directions. I state them very simply: One is the way of GIVE -- the other of GET. More specifically, the one is the way of humility, and of outgoing concern for others equal to self-concern. It is the way of cooperation, serving, helping, sharing; of consideration, patience and kindness. More important, it is also THE WAY of obedience to, reliance on, and worship solely toward YEHOVAH God. It is the GOD-centered way, of LOVE toward YEHOVAH God and LOVE toward neighbor.

The opposite is the SELF-centered way of VANITY, lust and greed; of competition and strife; of envy, jealousy, and unconcern for the welfare of others.

Few realize this vital FACT: The "GIVE" way is actually an invisible, yet inexorable, SPIRITUAL LAW in active motion. It is summarized, in principle, by the Ten Commandments.

It is a LAW as REAL, as inflexibly relentless as the law of gravity! It governs and regulates all human relationships!

Why should it seem incongruous that Adamic man's Maker -- the Creator of all matter, force and energy -- the Creator of the laws of physics and chemistry, gravity and inertia -- should also have created and set in motion this SPIRITUAL LAW to CAUSE every GOOD result for Adamic man?

If the Creator is a God of LOVE -- IF our Maker is a God of all power -- could He possibly have done otherwise? Could He have neglected to provide a WAY -- a CAUSE -- to produce peace, happiness, prosperity, successful lives, abundant well-being in His people Israel?

If there is to be peace, happiness, abundant well-being, SOMETHING MUST CAUSE IT! YEHOVAH God could not be God without providing a CAUSE for every desired GOOD. Isn't it about time we realize that IN LOVE for the Adamic line He created, YEHOVAH God also created and set in motion inexorably this spiritual LAW to provide the CAUSE of every GOOD result?

Now recapitulate: DEATH is the penalty of SIN. SIN is the TRANSGRESSION of this LAW! To transgress this Law is to reject the WAY that would CAUSE the GOOD all humans want -- to turn to the WAY that CAUSES every EVIL result. YEHOVAH FORBADE Adam and Eve to take the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, under penalty of DEATH!

Why? Because He wanted them to choose the WAY of every desired GOOD -- because He wanted them to avoid causing evils, sorrows, pains, suffering, unhappiness. Therefore, taking this fruit was symbolic of TRANSGRESSING YEHOVAH's spiritual LAW!

To have taken of the tree of LIFE was merely symbolic of receiving the GIFT of YEHOVAH's holy spirit, the very LOVE OF YEHOVAH God (Romans 5:5) which FULFILLS this spiritual Law (Romans 13:10) and which YEHOVAH gives only to those of Israel who OBEY His Law (Acts 5:32).

Consider further: A just God could not have warned Adam and Eve of the DEATH penalty without having fully revealed to them the spiritual Law -- the Law codified as the Ten Commandments -- the transgression of which carried that penalty. Remember, the details are not written here -- only the highly condensed overall SUMMARY of what YEHOVAH God taught them.

So YEHOVAH God had explained fully to Adam and Eve His WAY OF LIFE -- the "GIVE WAY" -- His inexorable spiritual LAW. YEHOVAH had already SET IN MOTION the LAW that causes all GOOD. He had explained also THE WAY that causes EVILS -- the transgression of that Law -- else He could not have told them that for transgression they Would SURELY pay the penalty -- DEATH.

More clearly stated, YEHOVAH God gave Adamic man his own choice. He could choose to CAUSE every good and to receive eternal life in happiness. Or, he could choose to CAUSE evils. It is ADAMIC MAN -- not YEHOVAH God -- that CAUSES all the evils that befall the line of Adam. The choice is ADAMIC MAN'S. What the Adamic man sows, that does he reap.

Yet here's the crucial point: It was necessary for them to TAKE HIS WORD FOR IT -- the spiritual Law is as invisible as the laws of gravity and inertia! They could not SEE this Law. But YEHOVAH had TOLD them the way of GOOD, and the way of EVIL.

Much of the Bible is in symbols -- but the Bible explains its own symbols. It is, of course, very out-of-date to believe in a devil today, but the Bible plainly speaks of a devil, named Satan. In Revelation 12:9 and 20:2, the symbol serpent is plainly explained to represent the devil. Notice, now, the temptation.

The narration here attributes astute subtlety to the devil. First, he discredited YEHOVAH God. In effect, he said, "You can't rely on God's word. He said you are mortal and can die. He knows better than that; He knows your minds are so perfect that YOU can be GOD."

It is the prerogative of YEHOVAH GOD ALONE to determine what is right and what is sin -- what is good and what is evil. YEHOVAH has not delegated to Adamic man the right or power to decide WHAT Is sin -- but He compels us of Israel to decide WHETHER to sin, or to obey His Law.

To rightly determine what is GOOD required the creative power to produce and set in motion such inexorable LAWS as this spiritual Law and the laws of physics and chemistry -- a law which AUTOMATICALLY causes GOOD if obeyed, and EVILS when disobeyed!

Adam and Eve had only YEHOVAH'S WORD that they were mortal and could die. Now Satan disputed this. He said they were IMMORTAL SOULS. WHOM should they believe? They had no PROOF, except YEHOVAH's word. But now Satan discredited that, and claimed just the opposite. Satan said their intellectual powers were so great they could determine for themselves what is GOOD and what is evil. That is a GOD-prerogative. "You can be GOD!" said Satan.

Thus Satan was appealing to their human VANITY. Remember, they had just been created, with perfect human minds having the ability ("breath of life") to understand the things of YEHOVAH God. (Men of the Genesis 1 creation did not have this ability). Not God minds -- but perfect human minds. They allowed the thought to enter their minds that they possessed intellectual powers so GREAT that they could assume the GOD-prerogative of PRODUCING THE KNOWLEDGE of what is GOOD and what is EVIL!

Intellectual vanity seized them! They were thrilled, enthralled, intoxicated with vanity at the grand prospect. How, after all, could they be sure YEHOVAH God had told them the truth?

They saw (verse 6) -- they used observation -- that the forbidden tree was good for food, pleasant to their eyes, and desired to make them wise. Intellectual vanity was stirred. In the ecstasy of this vanity they used human reason. They decided to reject revelation imparted by YEHOVAH God, and to make the very first SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENT!

They took to themselves the prerogative of deciding what is GOOD, and what is EVIL. In so doing, they rejected the GOD-centered WAY of YEHOVAH's spiritual Law, and, rejecting it, of necessity they chose the way that transgresses it! They PIONEERED in deciding for themselves what is right and what is wrong -- what is righteousness and what is sin! And Adamic humanity has been doing what seems right in its own eyes ever since.

And how did they do it? They 1) rejected revelation, 2) used observation, 3) used experimentation, and 4) used human reason. And that is precisely the "scientific" method used by modern science today! And the result of that experiment? THEY DIED! They produced the first child delinquent, the first criminal and murderer!

The most VITAL dimension of knowledge was MISSING from their "scientific" procedure!

There is much vital, basic and important knowledge BEYOND THE POWERS OF ADAMIC MAN TO DISCOVER! Such important knowledge as what the Adamic man IS, WHY the Adamic man is -- WHY he was put on earth and for what PURPOSE. And if there is PURPOSE, WHAT is that PURPOSE? And HOW may we of Israel attain it? What is THE WAY to PEACE? All nations seek and strive for PEACE -- yet none finds it -- they have WAR! What are the TRUE VALUES in life? This world pursues the FALSE!

Those are the most basic and important things the Adamic man needs to KNOW. Yet he may search for the answers in vain. He can KNOW them ONLY through revelation.

Then such knowledge as: HOW the earth came, WHEN it came, how old it is, how old is human life upon it -- the mystery of origins. These questions absorb the time, thought, research and thinking of scientists, philosophers, historians -- yet they can come up only with GUESSES, THEORIES, HYPOTHESES -- but NO PROOF -- the definite KNOWLEDGE they could know ONLY by revelation.

In taking to themselves the forbidden fruit, the first Adamic humans took to themselves the determination of what is GOOD and what is EVIL. I repeat -- in so doing, they rejected the FACT that YEHOVAH's living, inexorable spiritual Law is THE WAY of GOOD -- the CAUSE of all GOOD -- and its transgression THE WAY OF EVIL -- the CAUSE of all evil. Since they -- and Adamic humanity in general after them -- have taken to themselves the determination of what is GOOD, they of necessity have followed THE WAY contrary to YEHOVAH's Law. They have followed THE WAY that has produced all the vast mountain of EVILS that has descended on this sick, SICK world!!

They made themselves competitors of the living GOD. That is why it is written in Romans 8:7: "The carnal [Israelite] mind is enmity [hostile] against God: for it is not subject to THE LAW OF GOD, neither indeed can be."

So what, then, is the MISSING DIMENSION in ALL knowledge? It is revelation from YEHOVAH GOD!

For even though rejected by the first Adamic humans -- even though since rejected by the line of Adam in general -- YEHOVAH God did bequeath to Adamic mankind His REVELATION OF BASIC KNOWLEDGE. We have it IN WRITING! The Holy BIBLE is that revelation. It contains history, instruction, revelation of basic knowledge, and prophecy. It does not contain ALL knowledge. It contains that basic, foundational knowledge otherwise inaccessible to Adamic man!

What, then, is WRONG with knowledge production today? The most vital dimension is MISSING! I have said that error generally comes from assuming a false premise, taken carelessly for granted without proof, and building on that premise. And when the basic hypothesis or premise is false, the entire structure built upon it topples with it!

I have said that the tools of modern science are observation, experimentation, and reason. Are those tools wrong? NOT AT ALL! The error comes from REJECTION of revelation. For revelation is the true starting premise. When Adamic man substitutes his own false hypothesis, the most vital dimension in the knowledge production is MISSING!

YEHOVAH's Word -- His INSTRUCTION MANUAL for the line of Adam -- is the FOUNDATION of ALL knowledge. It is NOT the sum-total of knowledge. It is the foundation -- the true premise -- the starting point -- the concept that directs the approach to the acquisition of further knowledge.

He gave those of us of Israel the basis -- the foundation -- the premise -- the concept. But He also provided us with eyes with which to observe. With hands and feet to explore and measure. With means to produce laboratories, test-tubes, means of EXPERIMENTATION. He gave us awesome MINDS with which to THINK.

If a plane from Singapore destined for Manila starts off in the wrong direction, it might land in India instead of the right destination. It is just as important to start off in the right direction, from the true premise, with the right approach, in this matter of KNOWLEDGE PRODUCTION.

YEHOVAH God intended Adamic man to use observation, experimentation, and human reason. He supplied us with the basis -- the foundation -- the start in the right direction, with the right concept. But our first parents rejected the most vital dimension in all knowledge. And the line of Adam has continued to reject the very FOUNDATION of all knowledge. Knowledge production has been operating without a foundation -- based on false premises and erroneous hypotheses. That is THE REASON human Adamic knowledge production has FAILED to solve humanity's problems, and to cure the world's ills.

Manufacturers of mechanical or electrical appliances send along an instruction manual with their product. The Bible is our Maker's INSTRUCTION MANUAL which He has sent along with the product of His making -- Adamic humanity.

Six thousand years of human misery, unhappiness and evils ought to provide sufficient PROOF for those willing to see, that the line of Adam, starting with our first parents, rejected the most vital dimension.

Now remember, I said CREATION IS STILL GOING ON. Adam was freely offered ETERNAL LIFE. He was compelled to make a choice. Had he (and of course, Eve) made the choice to BELIEVE YEHOVAH God -- accept knowledge from YEHOVAH GOD, instead of taking to themselves the determination of the KNOWLEDGE of what is good and what is evil -- he and Eve could have taken of the tree of life.

That tree symbolically represented the holy spirit of YEHOVAH God. Taking it would have impregnated within them GOD-life -- SPIRIT-life. Then Adam's creation would have been completed within his life-time. He would have been changed from mortal to immortal -- from physical material composition to being composed of spirit, even as YEHOVAH God is!

But Adam and Eve rejected basic revelation of knowledge from YEHOVAH God -- just as the Adamic line has done ever since. They rejected THE WAY YEHOVAH God set in motion to CAUSE peace, prosperity, happiness and joy. They limited the acquisition of knowledge to their HUMAN minds.

And ever since ADAMIC MAN has tried to go HIS OWN WAY -- governing himself -- living the "GET" way, with unconcern for the good of others. And ADAMIC MAN'S WAY has resulted in all the mountain of EVILS that has befallen this world.

Therein is the explanation of the EVILS that exist in the "more advanced" and "developed" nations of the Israelite world. They have EDUCATION -- but with its great, vast MISSING DIMENSION!

Education with no knowledge of the PURPOSE of life. Education that can produce computers, fly men to the moon and back, but cannot solve man's problems. And WHY? Because the problems are SPIRITUAL and Adamic man has rejected the knowledge of YEHOVAH's SPIRITUAL LAW -- the way of life that would CAUSE peace and universal GOOD!

The real answer was brought out by Job. "If a man die, shall he live again?" Job asked -- and answered:

The latter part of his quotation, most often overlooked, is the key to this whole riddle. Read it again!

Study that! Job knew he was merely the work of YEHOVAH's hands. Merely a piece of divine workmanship in the hands of the Creator. Merely a piece of plastic clay in the hands of the Master Potter.

The prophet Isaiah explains this also: "But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we [of Israel] are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand" (Isaiah 64:8).

And in calling those of us of Israel forth from the grave -- in the resurrection -- YEHOVAH God is having a desire to finish the work of His hands. The model, from which the finished spiritual product is to be molded, is material substance -- human Adamic clay.

In the creation of Genesis 2, YEHOVAH God formed and shaped Adamic man physically, into YEHOVAH's image. But we do not, as the line of Adam, have the spiritual CHARACTER of the perfect YEHOVAH God. During this lifetime, for those of Israel whom YEHOVAH calls, if they yield and respond, YEHOVAH begins to re-form and shape us SPIRITUALLY, while we of Israel become more and more like Him in spiritual character.

For this grand and glorious purpose, YEHOVAH God has marked out a duration of SEVEN THOUSAND YEARS! Each 24-hour day of the Genesis 1 creation was a type of the seven millennial days of the spiritual creation.

Except for those of Israel whom YEHOVAH specially and individually calls, for the first six millennial days YEHOVAH leaves Adamic man to WRITE his lesson in human experience. Adamic man made the CHOICE of relying on himself under the sway and influence of Satan. YEHOVAH is allowing Adamic man to DEMONSTRATE, beyond question, his helplessness -- without YEHOVAH's holy spirit -- to live in a way that produces peace, happiness, and universal abundance.

Or, the parallel: YEHOVAH God is allowing Satan the six millennial days for his labor of deception and evil. And on that seventh millennial day he shall not be allowed to do any of his evil work -- he shall be imprisoned, while YEHOVAH GOD and the living Messiah brings TRUTH and SALVATION to YEHOVAH's people Israel.

"By grace are ye [of Israel] saved through faith....For [of Israel] we are his workmanship, CREATED in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them" (Ephesians 2:8, 10). Notice, there are GOOD WORKS to salvation.

The "we" in New Testament language always means Israelite Christians -- those truly converted. We of Israel, then, are YEHOVAH's workmanship. Yes! "Created" -- now being created -- to what objective -- to what purpose? Note it! "Unto good works"! Unto perfect spiritual character!

Now Paul here is not speaking of Adam's creation, six thousand years ago. He is speaking of Christian Israelites, NOW, being created -- unto good works. We of Israel are His workmanship -- the Creator is still creating. He is molding, fashioning changing us, transforming us to His own noble, righteous, holy, spiritual character. Yes, creating in us this perfect character.

But how "the god of this world" (II Corinthians 4:4) would blind your eyes to that! He tries to deceive you into thinking all there is to it is just "accepting Christ" -- with "no works" -- and presto-chango, you're pronounced "saved." But the Bible reveals that "he [of Israel] that shall endure unto the end, the same shalt be saved" (Matthew 24:13).

"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature..." (II Corinthians 5:17). Yes, a NEW CREATION!

It all begins in the mind. Repentance, the first step in salvation, is a change of mind. We believe in the mind. The receiving and indwelling of the holy spirit is a renewing of the mind. Gradually, through Bible study, learning to live by "every Word of God," being continually corrected, keeping in constant prayer, the very mind of YEHOVAH God is placed within the yielded Israelite man. And thus the new man -- a holy, spiritual character -- is being created in righteousness, and in true holiness.

In this new creation that YEHOVAH God works in the Israelite man, the man must be "born again."

YEHOVAH God made Adam solely out of matter. The Messiah said to Nicodemus, "That which is born of the flesh is flesh"! Then he explained that we of Israel must be born again to enter into the Kingdom of YEHOVAH God. Not again of the flesh -- not entering our mother's womb, as Nicodemus thought he meant -- but born of the spirit -- born of YEHOVAH God. As we were born of the flesh from a fleshly human father, so now we must be born of the spirit by YEHOVAH God, the heavenly spiritual Father.

(For a more detailed and technical exposition of this process, write for our free article Just What Do You Mean -- Born Again?).

And this process is brought about, in YEHOVAH's great purpose for His people Israel, by a man first coming to see how wrong are the ways of mortal Adamic humans, thinking and living contrary to the revealed laws of YEHOVAH God. The first stage is repentance. Surrender to Almighty God!

If in this life our thinking, our ways, are changed until we of Israel really do become -- in spiritual character -- new creatures in Yeshua the Messiah, conformed to his will, then that clay model, worked over, fashioned and shaped as YEHOVAH God would have it, is finally turned into the finished spiritual creation.

Now come to the ultimate PURPOSE of human Adamic life on the earth. It is stupendous beyond the capacity, perhaps, for many to grasp. But see it, with your own eyes, in your own Bible! Each year, on the Sunday called "Easter," millions celebrate the resurrection of the Messiah. But do they really believe that he rose from the dead? For that matter how many believe he really was dead at all? The Bible says he rose from the dead! But how many believe he has been alive ever since? How many believe the very Messiah who died is alive today? How many know what he has been doing these past 2,000 years?

The entire book of Hebrews is devoted to telling us what he has been doing, what he is doing now, and what he will do in the future. Read it in your Bible. Expect shocking surprises -- HAPPY surprises!

Begin at the beginning -- chapter 1, verse 1: "God, who at various times and in different ways spoke in time past to the fathers [of Israel] by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us [of Israel] through his Son, whom He has appointed HEIR of all things, FOR whom He [YEHOVAH God] also made the worlds. ..."

The "all things" refers to the ENTIRE UNIVERSE! It is so translated in the Moffatt translation.

Continuing the same sentence, "....who being the brightness of His glory, and the express image of His person." Moffatt translates that "express image" as "stamped with God's own character." Continue. "…and upholding all things by the word of His [YEHOVAH God's] power...." (verses 2-3).

Moffatt translates that as sustaining the whole universe by the word of His [YEHOVAH God's] power.

In other words, YEHOVAH God Almighty, the God of the Kingdom of YEHOVAH God -- has appointed the resurrected, living Messiah, His first-born Son, as Chief Executive in the administration of the Government of YEHOVAH God over the entire vast universe!

Several times, in the Bible, converted Christian Israelites, in whom is YEHOVAH's holy spirit, are called heirs of YEHOVAH God, and joint-heirs with Yeshua the Messiah (Romans 8:17; Galatians 3:29; 4:7; Titus 3:7, etc.). Now could that mean that we of Israel are appointed to SHARE that rulership of the entire vast UNIVERSE with YEHOVAH God and the Messiah?

Begin now with Hebrews 2:6, quoting from Psalms 8:4-6: the question is asked: "What is man, that thou art mindful of him?" Yes, what is there about sinning, mortal Adamic man that YEHOVAH God should be concerned about him? What are YOU -- that YEHOVAH God should be concerned about YOU? Note well the incredible answer.

"Thou madest him a little lower than the angels." Yes, now, much higher than animals, but still lower than angels who are composed of spirit (see chapter 1:5-7, 13-14).

Continue, Hebrews 2:7: "… thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands: thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him..." (verse 8).

In chapter 1, quoted above, "all things" is also translated "the universe." Could it mean YEHOVAH God has put the entire vast Universe under His people Israel? That has been too utterly fantastic for even theologians to believe! But notice the last sentence in that verse: "But now we see not yet all things put under him."

That explains it. YEHOVAH God has not yet put the vastness of the universe under Israelite man's control and governing. Not while we of Israel are still human! Adamic man has so far proved he is incapable of even governing himself here on the earth! No, we don't see Adamic man yet in such fantastic power.

Next verse, the 9th: "But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels..." -- a mortal human being, like we are now -- "....for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour..." -- as explained earlier -- CROWNED -- the executive RULER over the universe under YEHOVAH God -- "...that he by the grace of God should taste death for every [Adamic] man. For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things..." -- YEHOVAH God created everything FOR the Messiah (Ephesians 3:9) -- "...in bringing many sons [of Israel] unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings" (verse 10).

"In bringing many sons unto glory." We of Israel who repent, come to BELIEVE YEHOVAH God -- believe what He says -- believe what He reveals -- believe the KNOWLEDGE He reveals to us, now, through the Bible -- instead of rejecting knowledge from Him as Adam and Eve did -- as most in science and higher education do -- we become YEHOVAH's SONS when He puts within us His holy spirit. WE OF ISRAEL are the SONS He is bringing to this supreme GLORY!

Now grasp this: "...to make the CAPTAIN of their salvation." The Messiah is the CAPTAIN of our salvation. Or, that may be translated also as the PIONEER, who has gone on ahead, before those of us of Israel, into this matchless GLORY. He already has inherited all things -- the universe! But notice further: "to make the captain of their [Israel's] salvation PERFECT" -- HOW? How was even the Messiah made perfect? -- "THROUGH SUFFERINGS"!

And notice, in verse 11: "…he is not ashamed to call them brethren." The Messiah, in GLORY, is not ashamed to call those of us of Israel -- who have YEHOVAH's spirit -- who rely on and obey him -- BRETHREN!

There it is again. Yeshua the Messiah is the author of our salvation -- he wrote that salvation by his experience, and that was the first writing of it -- he was the first fully Adamic human being ever to achieve it -- to be perfected, finished as a perfect character!

Satan did not upset YEHOVAH's Plan for His people Israel. All that has happened, YEHOVAH God foreknew and permitted -- for a purpose. Redemption is not a repairing of the damage -- not a restoring to a condition "just as good" as Adam before the "fall." No, that was merely the beginning -- the material creation. Redemption is the great spiritual creation. In it, YEHOVAH God is creating in those of us of Israel something infinitely superior to Adam before he sinned.

He is creating something higher than angels or archangels. He is creating the supreme masterpiece of all His creation -- holy, perfect spiritual characters from physical Israel.

Perfect character, such as YEHOVAH God is creating in us of Israel, is a person finally made immortal, who is a separate entity from YEHOVAH God; who, through independent free choice has come to know, and to choose, and to do, what is right. And that means to believe and know that what YEHOVAH instructs is what is RIGHT.

An inanimate rock will roll downhill by power of gravity. Water runs in its channels through creeks and rivers into oceans. Great planets, some many times larger than the earth, must travel in YEHOVAH's ordained course. These things are marvelous examples of the creative power of YEHOVAH God. Yet these things are inanimate -- they have no mind, no free choice, no character.

Dumb animals do not sin. They do not know enough to sin. They act by instinct, or according to training of others. They do not have this character. Similarly, men of the Genesis 1 creation do not have the ability or character to understand what sin is since they were never given the law by YEHOVAH God! Character is the possession and practice of love, patience, mercy, faith, kindness, gentleness, meekness, temperance, self-restraint, and right self-direction. Character involves knowledge, wisdom, purpose, ability, all properly controlled and developed, and through independent choice. This only the Adamic man has when converted and when developed by obedience to -- and love for -- YEHOVAH's truth.

Holy, righteous character is something that is developed only through experience. Experience requires time, and circumstances. And so YEHOVAH God creates time and YEHOVAH God creates circumstances which produce character.

And so YEHOVAH first formed out of the dust -- out of matter -- the flesh-and-blood Adamic man, in the image of YEHOVAH God (and "image" means form, or shape, not composition). And through seven thousand years of experience, YEHOVAH is taking the human Adamic family through a process, the results of which, even "as we have borne the image of the earthy [mortal Adam], we shall also bear the image of the heavenly" -- Yeshua the Messiah immortal, the "second" Adam -- (I Corinthians 15:49).

Yes, once fashioned, shaped, molded according to YEHOVAH's Purpose, even we of Israel shall be LIKE HIM, for we shall see Him as He is (I John 3:1-2).

There are just two broad principles of life -- YEHOVAH's Way, or YEHOVAH's Law, summed up in the Ten Commandments, and Satan's way of competition, greed, vanity.

All suffering -- all unhappiness, fear, misery, and death -- has come from the transgression of YEHOVAH's Law. Living by that great Law of Love, then, is the only way to peace, happiness, and joy. YEHOVAH God placed Adamic man on this planet to learn that lesson -- to learn it through generations of experience.

Yes, we of Israel, too, learn by suffering. YEHOVAH God has revealed the true way -- His revelation always has been available to Adamic man. But the Adamic man, given the right of free choice, always has turned his back on YEHOVAH God, and YEHOVAH's true way. And even though Adamic man as a whole still refuses to see or learn the lesson, he has written this lesson indelibly in the history of human experience.

We learn through experience. And through suffering. This, then, is the very stuff of which character is made.

Once this godly CHARACTER is developed in us, what shall we of Israel be like in the resurrection? Already, now, in this life, the truly converted Christian Israelite, having YEHOVAH's holy spirit dwelling within, being led by YEHOVAH's spirit, is a SON of YEHOVAH God. In prayer he calls YEHOVAH "Father."

Notice it in your Bible: "Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be." (I John 3:2). What we of Israel shall be is not now apparent -- does not now APPEAR -- is not yet SEEN. Continue, "…but we know that, when he shall appear, we [of Israel] shall be like him; for we shall [then] see him as he is." Our appearance, then, will be like that of the Messiah now.

And what does the Messiah look like, now? His appearance is described in Revelation 1:14-16:

But once actually born of YEHOVAH God -- entering into His Kingdom -- by the resurrection, we of Israel shall be composed of spirit. We shall be like YEHOVAH God, and like the Messiah now is, completely sinless. "Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him, and he cannot sin, because he is born of God" (I John 3:9).

As the Messiah was born of YEHOVAH God by his resurrection (Romans 1:3-4), so shall we of Israel be. "For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren" (Romans 8:29).

At that time we shall be changed from mortal to immortal. "For our conversation [citizenship] is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body..." (Philippians 3:20-21).

One religion believes that the end result of human life after countless rebirths is extinction of individual consciousness. How glorious is the TRUTH -- promising the very opposite extreme!

The purpose of Adamic life is that in us of Israel YEHOVAH God is really recreating His own kind -- reproducing Himself after His own kind -- for we of Israel are, upon real conversion, actually begotten as sons (yet unborn) of YEHOVAH God. Then through study of YEHOVAH's revelation in His Word, living by His every Word, constant prayer, daily experience with trials and testings, we grow spiritually more and more like YEHOVAH God until, at the time of the resurrection, we shall be instantaneously changed from mortal into immortal -- composed of spirit -- we shall then be born of YEHOVAH God -- actually born into the God FAMILY!

For the word "God" in Genesis 1:1, comes to us from the word Elohim. Elohim in this and similar passages means ONE GOD -- not many gods. The word "Elohim" replaced the name of YEHOVAH in the Bible -- incorporating the PAGAN tendency to employ PLURAL FORMS. Confusion has resulted because the Israelites used the TITLES of Canaanite gods to replace the name of YEHOVAH in the Scriptures. Unfortunately, most translators follow the SAME ERROR in reproducing the Bible -- even though they know -- and admit -- that it is GRAMMATICALLY WRONG to do so! Being unlearned and ignorant of the plan of YEHOVAH God for His people Israel -- much less the Hebrew language -- they DECEIVE MANY into believing in a FALSE CONCEPT of the Godhead. However, that ONE GOD is developing a FAMILY -- a KINGDOM. There is but one true Church -- one Church, but many members (I Corinthians 12:20).

As an illustration, there is the mineral kingdom, the plant kingdom, the animal kingdom, the human Adamic kingdom, in this material world. Spiritually, there is the angel kingdom, and, high above all, the Kingdom of YEHOVAH God. A human -- flesh and blood -- cannot enter into the Kingdom of YEHOVAH God (John 3:6; I Corinthians 15:50), but an Israelite born of YEHOVAH God can.

Do you really grasp it? The purpose of your being alive is that finally you of Israel can be born into the Kingdom of YEHOVAH God, which is the FAMILY of YEHOVAH God.

When you fully grasp this tremendous, wonderful truth, your mind will be filled with transcendent joy and glory. It gives a new meaning to life so wonderful you'll never comprehend the full heights of its splendor.

It means, of course, total renunciation, denial, of those injurious things and ways which have falsely seemed so bright and alluring to this world.

But your eyes will be open at last to the great deception -- the scales will fall from your blinded vision -- you'll see the meaning of life, its great purpose, as you never dreamed it could be. Giving up this world's evils, temptations and pitfalls -- its snares and delusions which have glittered and then ended only in sorrow and suffering -- is but emerging from gross darkness into the splendor of true light, and of happiness and joy forever!

In the words of I Peter 1:8, you will "rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of GLORY"!
