TWP - First Born Son

Let us begin
Starting from the physical father and mother of us all. Adam and Eve mated and from that practice they had two sons, twins named Cain and Abel.

“And Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and brought forth Cain and said, I have gained a man through God. And she again bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. “Genesis 4:1-2

Because of Adam's transgression with Eve in the Garden of Eden it was clearly understood that Adam would die and return back to dust.

“And to Adam he said, because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten of the tree, of which I commanded you, saying, You shall not eat of it: cursed is the ground for your sake; in sorrow shall you eat of it all the days of your life; Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to you; and you will eat the herb of the field; by the sweat of your face shall you eat bread, till you return to the ground; for out of it were you taken: for dust you are, and to dust shall you return.” Genesis 3:17-19

So, it became necessary for Adam and the Highest to determine among the first-born sons. Who would be the successor to carry on the service to the Highest, wielding Adam's dominion in the earth?

Since the successor would have to fellowship with the Highest. It ultimately would be the Highest final decision. So, a test was presented to determine between Cain and Abel whom the Highest would bless as the successor. Cain would bring his one-time offering to the Highest and Abel would do the same.

And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering to the
Highest. And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the Highest had respect for Abel and to his offering: But for Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. And the Highest said to Cain, Why are you wroth? and why is your countenance fallen? If you do well, shall you not be accepted? and if you do not well, sin lies at the door. And you shall be his desire, and you should rule over him.” Genesis 4:2-7

Now what many have not understood about this important event. Cain brought fruits of the cursed ground. Abel brought innocent sacrificed animals, the best of his flock. Why is this so important? In a simple word the successor would be a priest. The role of a priest is to mediate between man and the Highest, but there is more and that will be addressed later.

What has eluded people for so long regarding Cain and Abel’s offering. The test put forth was to reveal which of the twins comprehended the redemption message contained within the Gospel of the Kingdom, “the promise”. This understanding would honor their father and mother who were told of the promise directly from the Highest as He judged the serpent.

And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; he will bruise your head, and you will bruise his heel. “Genesis 3:15

So why was Abel's offering received and Cain's rejected? Abel's offering acknowledged his comprehension of the Gospel of the Kingdom message of redemption. The need of man to be reconciled with the Highest in a way that the judgment of death on man would once and for all be removed. Cain's offering had no understanding of the priestly service regarding the Gospel of the Kingdom and certainly nothing regarding redemption. Cain showed he was not adequate for the priestly service nor worthy of the dominion successorship. Due to the bitter loss. Cain took it upon himself and killed his brother Abel. Since he could not have it neither would Abel.

“And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to passe when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him. “Genesis 4:8

It could be said that during the talk with Abel, Cain was informed why his offering was not accepted and the offering was a test to see who would be the successor to represent their father Adam and the Heavenly Father. Priest and king we know as the Order of Melchizedek.

As to what many copies of the Book of Jasher present as the reason for the killing of Abel by Cain. Many of the copies of the Book of Jasher cannot be used for edification and training. Why? They contradict blatantly what Torah has written, the sacred writ. Contradiction is not to be used but one can use writ that gives additional details and harmonizes with the whole of the sacred writ.

According to many copies of Jasher. Cain and Abel got into an argument and one of the things brought up by Abel was that Cain was killing some of his flock for clothing and eating them. Careful students of the sacred writ know that their diet never consisted of flesh of animals. Their diet was of green plant, fruits, vegetables, bread and herbs. As of yet correct copies of the Book of Jasher have not surfaced to the masses. Jasher 1:15-27

Unlike Jasher a sacred writ worthy of training and edification is the Book of Enoch which does not contradict the whole of scripture but gives additional information.

“And then I went to another place, a mountain of hard rock. And there was in it four hollow places, deep and wide and very smooth. How smooth are the hollow places and deep and dark to look at? Then Raphael answered, one of the holy angels who was with me, and said unto me: 'These hollow places have been created for this very purpose, that the spirits of the souls of the dead should assemble therein, yes that all the souls of the children of men should assemble here. And these places have been made to receive them till the day of their judgement and till their appointed period, till the great judgement comes upon them.'

I saw the spirit of a dead man making suit, and his voice went forth to heaven and made suit. And I asked Raphael the angel who was with me, and I said to him: 'This spirit which make suit, whose is it, whose voice goes forth and make suit to heaven?' And he answered me saying: 'This is the spirit which went forth from Abel, whom his brother Cain slew, and he makes his suit against him till his seed is destroyed from the face of the earth, and his seed is annihilated from amongst the seed of men.' Then I asked regarding it, and regarding all the hollow places: 'Why is one separated from the other?' And he answered me and said unto me: 'These three have been made that the spirits of the dead might be separated. And such a division has been made for the spirits of the righteous, in which there is the bright spring of water.

The Rich Man and Lazarus
“There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeing Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. But Abraham said, Son, remember that you during your lifetime received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and you are tormented. And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from here to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from there. Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that you would send him to my father's house: For I have five brethren; that he may testify to them, lest they also come into this place of torment. Abraham said to him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. And he said, No, father Abraham: but if one went to them from the dead, they will repent. And he said to him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.”
Luke 16:19-31

And such has been made for sinners when they die and are buried in the earth and judgement has not been executed on them in their lifetime. Here their spirits shall be set apart in this great pain till the great day of judgement and punishment and torment of those who curse forever and retribution for their spirits. There He shall bind them forever. And such a division has been made for the spirits of those who make their suit, who make disclosures concerning their destruction, when they were slain in the days of the sinners. Such has been made for the spirits of men who were not righteous but sinners, who were complete in transgression, and of the transgressors they shall be companions: but their spirits shall not be slain in the day of judgement nor shall they be raised from there.'

Then I blessed the Highest of glory and said: 'Blessed be my King, the King of righteousness, who rules forever.' Enoch 22:1-14

Special Note:
The resurrection addresses the righteous, the unrighteous and the extremely unrighteous are never released from the hollows to be resurrected. The extremely unrighteous examples are, the beast and the false prophet and all who took the mark of the beast. One could also add the demons which are the hybrid born, human and angelic mix “Nephilim and Rephaim”.

So, after the mourning of Abel's death and the banishment of Cain. Adam and Eve mated again when Adam had reached one hundred and thirty years old and had another son. Seth, who looked just like Adam and he became the priestly successor. Not that we have much written of Seth, Sirach 49:16 recognizes him as a glorified man along with Shem. Both priests in the Order of Melchizedek and quite relevant to the Highest. From Seth through the generations there has been one with the sufficient earthly credentials. Until finally, the one who surpassed all other sons of Adam came, the Messiah.

All other sons of Adam suffered the same fate as Adam, death. Only one son of Adam has been able to carry on after death. We call him the Holy One of Israel. Our redeemer! The First-Born Son of God and of Adam. Our master and king, the Lord over the angels, our High Priest in the Order of Melchizedek. What is the Order of Melchizedek? It is the chosen Priesthood and church authorized by the Highest to mediate on behalf of man, angels and the Highest. Psalms 110

Was it not the angelic beings that encouraged the transgression of Adam and Eve? Was it not the angelic beings who also tainted some of the bloodline of Adam?

The name of the first Jeqon: that is, the one who led astray [all] the sons of God, and brought them down to the earth, and led them astray through the daughters of men. And the second was named Asbeel: he imparted to the holy sons of God evil counsel, and led them astray so that they defiled their bodies with the daughters of men. And the third was named Gadreel: he it is who showed the children of men all the blows of death, and he led astray Eve, and showed [the weapons of death to the sons of men] the shield and the coat of mail, and the sword for battle, and all the weapons - Enoch 69:4-7 read the rest if possible, the whole chapter.

When they mated with the daughters of men Genesis 6:1-2,4, they got into such trouble that they even requested the Royal priest Enoch to plead their case to the Highest. A man pleading for the angels instead of the other way around. Enoch section 01: Chapter 15:1-12

Enoch exemplified the work the Holy One of Israel would have to do as well. Since the Highest and the angels are heavenly quite naturally, the Anointed One would have to be where that could take place. Like Enoch he does similar, Enoch had to go to heaven. Not only is heaven the throne of God a spiritual place it also is a physical one. Likewise, the Angels are spiritual and physical. The daughters of men they mated with had real physical children. Some deformed, other giants and others with incredible super human abilities.
We even see this in the scriptures as the Messiah our High Priest corrects the Angels of the Seven Church locals in the writings of Revelation 2 and 3. The redemptive work of the Holy One of Israel goes far beyond just man and the Highest. Even though there are so called ministers proclaiming a gospel. It is important to know that many are not members of the Order of Melchizedek, the Royal Priesthood. Therefore, like Cain who didn’t fully grasp the importance of the full gospel of the kingdom. They too have been rejected. Be careful and realize that the gospel of kingdom is covering three areas, man, angels and the Highest. From those three areas it is clear of their influence on the rest of creation.

According to the sacred writ of Enoch Raphael said there were four hollow places three explained but what about the fourth? What can you conclude regarding the fourth and present the scriptures to validate conclusion?
