God Went Out The Back Door

    Adam came off His Creator's hand perfect and robed in light, pity his choice did not reflect gratitude but hostility in feared lost, that led to the domino effect of cause and events. From Abraham and his promised seed, to the arrival of that Promise One Who would come, both as Man and God. This is the story, of God, Who came, and then left by the back door.
     Adam became the master piece of God's creation by virtue of  God's need. To speak in terms of God's need is a bit of tongue and cheek, seeing I dont know God like that, however, the record shows that God had a problem. There was war in heaven, just who in their right mind would fight with God is a topic for another day, yet, God was in a state needing to bring clarity. It was this need, that brought Man into creation. Coming off his Creator's hand perfect, standing about 18 feet tall or better, according to records, with the ability to see and feel with both mind and intuition. He was both man and woman wrapped up into one, for how else could woman be brought out of him if she did not exist first in him. It was not his mind that told him he needed a help meet, but his deep intuition. Then God said it was not good for the man to be alone, therefore God took His man, and laid him down and divided him into two, and gave the woman the intuition part of him and thus what used to be Adam's problem became her's. In order for the twin to be One again, they needed to be joined to be Whole.
     Somehow the Devil, seeing the intuition lose in the Woman, wanted to use it and explore it, and through it grabbed a foot hole in the woman, and before long, Sin was introduce to both Adam and Eve. It was never God's intention that the man and his wife Sin, yet the plan for their existence, was clear,  God wanted to show the nature of Sin and it's effects before the Whole Universe. Up to this point, the Devil and his true nature was not known, nor the far reaching or workings of evil when it is grafted with the nature of Angels or Humans. Created in the very image of God Himself, humans can demonstrated God more so then any other created beings in the Universe, namely because unlike the others, only Humans have the ability to procreate, a ability shared with God. Just why God needed to be obey, would be demonstrated in real time for all to see and know once and for all.
     Now that the man and his helpmeet have sinned, and decay and death have become their lot, the Universe now looks on in outer disbelief to what comes next. It was Satan's conclusion, that God could not be obeyed, and he pointed to the laws of God as responsible for the ruin of the Pair. Never mind his involvement, or his deceit of the woman by way of his use of the serpent,  her bite of the fruit and her offer to Adam was pointed at God for demanding obedience in the first place. From then till now, the devil has placed law on the suspect list and stills tells men and women today that the laws of God are suspect and that they should do as thou wilt for this shall be the whole of the law. But God in wisdom allows this seen to play it's self out before the great cloud of witnesses as the Universe looks on in horror.
     There was a man name Abraham, who was wise enough to question the right things, and one question above all was why serve gods that did not answer back? God seeing this upright and honest man, came down close to him and introduced Himself to Abraham. Once it was clear that the God Who can answer back, spoke to him, God command Abraham to move from among his people, and God will make Himself known both through Abraham and his seed after him. Because of Adam's disobedience, the devil had every intent of making of all the human race his subjects forever, and by so doing, prolong and extend his own existence indefinitely.
     Through this Man who would question gods, God found a place by which His promise to Adam can be fulfilled. And since Abraham was a man of skepticism, God promised him a son, but waited till it was clear it was from God and not another. Down through the walls of time, God worked through Abraham to bring about His name among peoples of the Earth. And when Issac was born, it was without doubt it was from God, for both Abraham and his wife were past the child baring stage when Sarah gave birth to a son. It was God who then asked Abraham to take the life of Issac, and this Man of Questions, did not hesitate to do as bidden, and God knew He trusted God, for Abraham looked to God as the living God and was willing to trust all in God's care. Therefore God accounted to Abraham as righteousness.
     As Abraham laid his son on the alter to slay his son, as God had asked, had God not called out to him, Abraham would have killed his only son of both he and Sarah. God simply said to Abraham, now I know that you fear God, for you were willing to obey Me in all things. Therefore now, take Me instead. In the bush was a Ram caught in the bush, and it was that Ram, that Abraham had slain instead of his son. I say that God said No, Abraham, take me instead, of-course the bible does not read like this, but the sad truth are as follows. God Himself is  the Lamb that was slain from the foundations of the World. And it was promised that God Himself would come in the fullness of time as the Lamb of God. And would you believe on that same hill were Issac was about to be slain, Jesus Himself was offered up in a place called the Skull?
     From the time Jesus first set foot on the stage of human existence, there was no room for Him in the Inn. Marry was with child, and her betrothal to Joesph put her in danger of Jewish customs, for her being with child and the marriage date put questions on the Father of the Child, therefore the Inn Keeper, did not want trouble, seeing that he had important guest from all over, for everyone had to be accounted for and notwithstanding Mary being a virgin, it was suspect at best, therefore the Inn Keeper decided for all concern to have her placed in the stables rather then risk his establishment called into question. From that time till Jesus was baptized in Jordan by John, God walked among us and we did not esteem HIM, but rather He became a Man of sorrows.
   In the fullness of time, we Crucified Him, and to make matters worst, we sealed Him in by placing a stone with a Roman seal on that stone. Who knew that God indeed would come in so lowly a manner, and who knew He would be treated in so vile a manner. No wonder when the God of the Old Testament raged He was awesome in splendor, and harsh in all His dealings, for He knew one day, He would be at the whims of men, and at their mercy and why? That He might save as many as would trust HIM. He Who healed, now needs heeling, He who opened the eyes of the blind or set the captives free, who woke up the dead, now finds Himself in the arms of mean men. See Him...See Him...stretched out between Earth and Heaven, like the serpent of Moses, that was lifted up in the wilderness. Jesus said...if I ...if I be lifted up I will draw all men unto me.
     When Jesus gave His blessing to a dying thief, he gave instruction to John concerning His Mother, and then He asked for forgiveness for the people for they knew not it was He...then He hung His head and died. Just about naked, and disgraced, just about cursed above all, this God of the old Testament had come as it was recorded in the volume of the book, to make ready a way of escape for all who would believe. Then rose early Sunday morning.  God took time to fold His grave clothes, and then took the keys of death and the grave, and said He as God would be alive for ever more. After raising a few trophies to take back to Heaven with Him, God slipped out the back door, and was greeted with Angels who had a few Questions like Abraham.

Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.
Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory.  Ps 24:8-10

Jesus may have slipped out the back door last time...but He will return at the front door, and every eye will see Him, not because of CNN...but because of His being able to be seen by all...will you indeed be ready...nj
