    Annotated Gen.chs.1-4 "Conclusion"

    Gen.1.1 we have two worlds The Father Son relationship is established by the Covenant in seven days. The unseen world is made to appear by the word of God.(Heb.11.3) Man admitted into the Fellowship consequently shall have 'after our image and after our likeness. Sin of disobedience creates a change. "And (Adam) begat a son in his own likeness, and after his image; and called his name Seth." St Paul refers two aspects of his humanity, "And took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men." (Phil.2.7). First Adam was earthy and his sin made him a servant to sin. Whereas the Word became flesh refers to the last Adam. He is the Lord from heaven and as the Word which was God he was the quickening Spirit.

    The sanctified ones tagged with 144,000 are preserved in heaven after our image and after our likeness. The will of God, the Father is perfect. His calling and gifts are without repentance. Consequently it is heresy to deny the two worlds under which we are in the presence of God. In the world unseen we are surrounded by cloud of witnesses where the city Holy Jerusalem is the world that shall be made to appear. (Heb.12.22-23)

    God set a mark on Cain and sent out from his Presence. We are hedged about by the word of God as Job was, while the world lay in darkness. We belong to the field of God surrounded by tares sown by our enemy.

    This mark of Cain gives the world deceptive riches while the name of the Father written in the foreheads we believe is the pledge of the Father. The Son shall give us a new name in appropriate time.

    In short without taking into account our names are written heaven and we are sojourners and pilgrims in the world we cannot please God.

    A Correction:

    In the first para:

    "And (Adam) begat a son in his own likeness, and after his image; and called his name Seth." St Paul refers two aspects of his humanity, "

    Please read as,

    ""And (Adam) begat a son in his own likeness, and after his image; and called his name Seth." Jesus Christ as the Son of man and as the Branch. St Paul refers two aspects of his humanity, "
