Christ The Antidote Regarding Death

CHRIST THE ANTIDOTE REGARDING DEATH.

Part 62.
The Shadow Of Death!
''Yea, thou I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; Thy
rod and thy staff, they comfort me.'' Psa 23:4. ASV.
Interestingly many are still right now waling thro!gh or are !nder the shadow o" their mistaen
identity - which is death - # as we realise more # more o!r $resent $osition in %od in that it was finished
at Cal&ary # the res!rre'tion( we need not fear evil( "or )e is with !s # )is rod # sta"" - within us -
'om"ort !s. This &ery rod # sta"" whi'h is already in !s( in our God self( is "or the reason that it will
*e'ome e&ident in the mani"estation o" the sons o" %od( the man+'hild # will not only comfort !s *!t
will r!le # reign *y # thro!gh all who are in this first "r!it gro!$.
I am o" the o$inion that i" the ,ternal S$irit 'reated !s in His Image that we too $ro'eeded "rom the
same ,ternal S$irit # that we too are $art o" )imsel". Also i" %od is eternal # ne&er had a *eginning
then o!r tr!e s$irit!al sel"( - not transitory flesh - is eternal. -e m!st realise that this "lesh that we dwell
in at the moment is only a &ery short or minor $art o" the e.!ation. A &ery im$ortant $oint is i" we say
that there is %od # I( we are admitting that there is a %od a$art "rom o!rsel&es. -hen /es!s said( ''I and
My Father are One,'' the word and in the %ree is also e.!al to the word even. The tr!th that the S$irit
o" the 0ord wo!ld still try to *ring home to !s e&en today is that there is no di&ision *etween %od #
o!rsel&es we are one. In the light o" what we are now sharing( the tr!th o" the te1t that ''man is fearfully
and wonderfully made'' 'arries with it a m!'h dee$er meaning than many ha&e !$ till now *een aware o".
In Isaiah 43:23+22. -e read. ''Ye are my witnesses, saith Jehovah, and my servant whom I have
chosen; that ye may know and elieve me, and understand that I am he! before me there was no God
formed, neither shall there e after me. I, even I, am Jehovah; and besides me there is no saviour.''
ASV. In a n!tshell this is saying that there is no se$aration whatsoe&er *etween Christ # the 4ather
)imsel".
I" we hold to the 'on'e$t that there is a %od *eside !s( a$art "rom !s or as well as !s( then we wo!ld
do well to !$grade to the tr!e higher 'on'e$t o" o!r tr!e identity( whi'h is the o$inion o" Christ )imsel" #
that is that ''I and My Father !" - even - O#".''
Our Thin$in% Must &e !aised!
''"ut when you are invited, go and recline in the lowest #lace, so that when your host comes in, he may
say to you, Friend, %o u' hi%her! Then you will e honoured in the #resence of all who sit $at tale% with
you. &or everyone who e(alts himself will be humbled 'ranked elow others who are honoured or
rewarded(, and he who humbles himself 'kee#s a modest o#inion of himself and ehaves accordingly(
will e e)alted 'elevated in rank('' 0!e 24:23+22. Am$li"ied.
''"ut, whenever you may e invited, going, lean ack in the last #lace, that whenever he who has

In the 2<
th
Cha$ter o" ,=eiel( we read in &erse two ''yet you are only a man'' then in &erse nine ''but
you are only a man.'' At the &ery o!tset it is *eing esta*lished *oth *y the writer # es$e'ially the
ins$irer o" the Cha$ter( the S$irit o" %od )imsel"( that the theme o" the s!*>e't is ?A5( namely ADA?(
# not only the Adam( *!t o!r Adam - the lower nature - o" manind. Verse 22 wo!ld tell !s.
'',on of man, take u# a lamentation over the king of Tyre and say to him, Thus says the -ord God! You
are the full measure and 'attern of e(a,tness $giving the finishing touch to all that constitutes
com#leteness%, full of wisdom and 'erfe,t in beauty.'' ,=e 2<:22. All re"eren'es are "rom the Am$li"ied.
Adam in his original "ristine state was most de"initely fll of wisdom # "erfect in $eat!.
''.ou were in "den, the garden of God; every #recious stone was your covering, the carnelian, to#a.,
/as#er, chrysolite, eryl, ony), sa##hire, caruncle, and emerald; and your settings and your sockets and
engravings were wrought in gold. 0n the day that you were created they were #re#ared.'' ,=e 2<:23.
)ere we see that this one was in ,den # that e&ery $re'io!s stone was his 'o&ering. I as the
.!estion. I" it was tr!e that this entity was a't!ally Satan who was 'ast o!t o" hea&en to ,den wo!ld he
still ha&e the a*o&e des'ri$tion( "or it tells !s .!ite de"initely that this ha$$ening was in ,den # not in
hea&en( also the writer has already esta*lished twi'e in &erse two # nine that this one is onl! a man.
)ere we are esta*lishing whether we ha&e to date *een a''e$ting tradition or tr!th( religiosity or
s$irit!ality. I *elie&e that the ey to the answer o" this sit!ation is EDEN.
''You were the anointed cheru that covers with overshadowing $wings%, and I set you so. .ou were
u'on the holy mountain of God* you walked u# and down in the midst of the stones of fire $like the #aved
work of gleaming sa##hire stone u'on whi,h the God of Israel wal$ed on Mount Sinai%.'' ,=e 2<:24.
,&en tho!gh tradition wo!ld tell !s that this is a des'ri$tion o" one 'alled 0!'i"er who was 'ast o!t o"
hea&en( I see most im$li'itly this as *eing the most *ea!ti"!l original Adam *eing 'onne'ted with Christ(
"or when resear'hed we "ind that the word 0!'i"er a''ording to the "ootnote in Isaiah 24 in the Am$li"ied
7i*le( is des'ri*ed as. @!ote :
''The +erew for this e)#ression--''light ringer'' or ''shining one'' 1 is translated ''-ucifer'' in The
-atin 2ulgate( and is thus translated in the A/V. "ut ecause of the association of that name with ,atan,
it is not now used in this 3 other translations. ,ome students feel that the a##lication of the name of
-ucifer to ,atan, in s#ite of the long 3 confident teaching to that effect, is erroneous. The a##lication of
the name to ,atan has e)isted since the third century 4.5. 3 is ased on the su##osition that -uke 67!68
is an e)#lanation of Isaiah 9!6:, which many authorities elieve is not true, ''-ucifer,'' the light ringer, is
the -atin e;uivalent of the Greek word ''<hos#horous,'' which is used as a title of =hrist in :<et.6!6> 3

when the Adam+Christ was lowered Rom 22:32 # <:23( the Christ the hidden $art o" o!r tre identit! did
not lea&e !s # will ne&er lea&e !s E)ER. The ne1t &erses 2B+2< will also &eri"y what we ha&e >!st

''You were lameless in your ways from the day you were created until ini;uity and guilt were found
in you. 26. Through the aundance of your commerce you were filled with lawlessness and violence, and
you sinned; therefore I cast you out as a #rofane thing from the mountain of God and the %uardian
,herub drove you out from the midst of the stones of fire. 29. Your heart was #roud and lifted u#
ecause of your eauty; you corru#ted your wisdom for the sake of your s#lendour. I cast you to the
ground; I lay you efore kings, that they might ga.e at you. 2<. You have #rofaned your sanctuaries y the
multitude of your ini;uities and the enormity of your guilt, y the unrighteousness of your trade.
Therefore I have brou%ht forth a fire from your midst* it has ,onsumed you, and I have redu,ed you to
ashes u'on the earth in the si%ht of all who loo$ed at you.'' ,=e 2<:2B+2<.
This last highlighted $assage is a't!ally a fiat or a decree. 5oti'e that Adam was *lameless !ntil
ini.!ity # g!ilt were "o!nd in him. The a$ndance of commerce o" the 'olle'ti&e Adam is to do with
his s$irit!al standing( i.e. Cain # A*el et'. There"ore 'olle'ti&e adam yo! were 'ast o!t "rom the high

Cher!*im that are o&er( or g!arding the Ar o" the 'o&enant. Dh no my "riends I am totally 'on&in'ed
that this whole 'ha$ter we are dealing with is not to do with a traditional myth that we ha&e *een handed
down that has to do with one who re*elled # was 'ast o!t o" hea&en - a high #lace other than Aden - *!t

And shall never retrn to $eing. The great news whi'h agrees entirely with the a*o&e $aragra$h is

In "!rther re"eren'e to the *elie" that Satan was su##osedly 'ast o!t o" )ea&en *e'a!se o" re*ellion -
whilst there may e some truth to this in a differing dee#er s#iritual sense - it is 'ertainly not tr!e in the

2 Cor 2B:B2. ''In a moment in the twinkling of an eye.'' or the "lifting of or vision or s"irital
nderstanding+ this is when the dead in Christ or those who are not com"letel! or s$irit!ally awae will
'om$letely 'ome ali&e( when the &eil is li"ted # all the sha'les are se&ered. This wo!ld also enhan'e the

''The +erew for this e)#ression--''light ringer'' or ''shining one'' 1 is translated ''-ucifer'' in The
-atin 2ulgate( and is thus translated in the A/V. "ut ecause of the association of that name with ,atan,
it is not now used in this 3 other translations. ,ome students feel that the a##lication of the name of
-ucifer to ,atan, in s#ite of the long 3 confident teaching to that effect, is erroneous. The a##lication of
the name to ,atan has e)isted since the third century 4.5. 3 is ased on the su##osition that -uke 67!68
is an e)#lanation o Isaiah 9!6:, which many authorities elieve is not true, ''-ucifer,'' the light ringer, is
the -atin e;uivalent of the Greek word ''<hos#horous,'' which is used as a title of =hrist in :<et.6!6> 3

In 'onsidering ?oses who was yet !nder the 0aw there is m!'h that we 'an glean "or o!rsel&es in
relation to todayFs !nderstanding.
''4nd the -ord said, I have surely seen the affli,tion of My 'eo'le who are in Agy#t, and have
heard their ,ry ecause of their tas$masters and o''ressors; for I know their sorrows and sufferin%s

Com$aring the a*o&e "o!r &erses with todayFs $romises we see the great similarity with the allegory
o" the release o" the $eo$le o" Israel "rom o!t o" Pharaohs *ondage.
''4nd Joses said to God, /ho am I, that I should go to <haraoh and ring the Israelites out of
Agy#tG 6: God said, I will surely e with you; and this shall be the si%n to you that I have sent you!
