Chapter 2
THE DUST OF THE EARTH
The dust of the earth and man are one composition made from the earth; but what is man and the life in man that connects us to God when we are born? And also, what are the principalities of the devil that give him power in this world? Is it not the cosmic forces of life, the elements of the universe; (The Sun: Moon: Stars: Planets / Satan: God of forces), and in the design of the human soul, which gives life to the body? The scriptures clearly describe the devil as a devouring lion who preys upon men. Therefore, what does the devil devour and what is his bread, meat, and wine that sustains the body of Anti-Christ and demonic spirits? Jesus Christ and his body (The Christian church) are clearly referred to as one spiritual body in the scriptures. Therefore, would not the devil be one spiritual body as well (forming his own reality), invading the natural course of creation as an elemental cosmic virus? Where does the devil and his strength actually lie? The mystery to this question is actually revealed by one simple parable in the book of Genesis, which is baffling to me that not one man on earth (Holy ghost) could understand this parable.
Scriptures below.
{Genesis 2:7} The Lord God forms man out of the dust of the earth.
And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
{Genesis 3:13-14} The serpent cursed to eat dust (Mankind) all the days of his life.
And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust (Mankind) shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
{Ephesians 6:10-12} Spiritual wickedness in high places.
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
The Dust of the Earth
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
{Galatians 4:1-9} How turn ye, (vessels of the Holy ghost)again to the beggarly elements?
Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;
But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.
Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:
But when the fulness of the time was come, (Renewing of the holy ghost) God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit (Holy Ghost) of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods.(Principalities of the devil)
But now, after that ye have known God, (Received the holy ghost) or rather are known of God, how turn ye again (vessels of the Holy ghost) to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? (Satan prince of the air)
{Ephesians 2:1-2} The prince of the power of the air.
And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world,
according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
{Ephesians 4:13-15} Men carried about with every wind of doctrine?
Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
{Galatians 5: 1-26}
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
